Red Dawn (1984)
Jan 11, 2003Communist Invasion of the USA
Ridiculous red-blooded, flag-waving film in which the Soviets invade the USA and a group of high-school teenagers maintain a lone guerilla campaign
Charlie Sheen
The Boys Next Door (1985)
Jul 26, 2022Teens on a Killing Spree
This caused quite a shock when it came out, a Penelope Spheeris film with Charlie Sheen and Maxwell Caulfield as two teenagers who feel they have no future and go on a killing spree in Los Angeles
The Wraith (1986)
Oct 30, 2000Avenging Ghost Car
An unknown Charlie Sheen stars in a film about teens haunted an avenging ghost car. An uncredited copy of Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter
All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 (1996)
Sep 5, 2002Animation/Dogs Return from the Afterlife
This is a video-released sequel to the Don Bluth animated film with dogs again returning from the afterlife. This is churned out with passable effort
The Arrival (1996)
Sep 20, 2003Alien Infiltration and Takeover
An alien invasion and takeover film that was clearly inspired by the success of tv's The X Files. This is a smart effort that emerges as something unworldly in David Twohy's hands
Under Pressure (1997)
May 8, 2001Psycho Next-Door Neighbour Snaps
Modestly effective psycho-thriller with Charlie Sheen in his first psycho role as a fireman who snaps under the pressures of everyday life and threatens his neighbour
Postmortem (1998)
Jun 20, 2002Serial Killer Thriller
Albert Pyun jumps aboard the post The Silence of the Lambs serial killer thriller fad with a routine that has Charlie Sheen as a writer in Glasgow being taunted by the killer he wrote a book about
Being John Malkovich (1999)
Dec 8, 1999Portal Into Actor's Head/Absurdism
Hilariously eccentric Spike Jonze-Charlie Kaufman collaboration in which John Cusack finds an office building that has a portal that takes someone through into actor John Malkovich's head. The wacky spins that the script places on the idea are ingenious
Scary Movie 3 (2003)
Dec 16, 2003Genre Spoof
David Zucker takes over the reins of the franchise from the Wayans Brothers. With a lack of big scary movies in 2002 to parody, the film takes a scattershot approach parodying any film at all, with the usual inanity
Scary Movie 4 (2006)
Jun 21, 2006Genre Spoof
Fourth of the Scary Movie films and the usual crude inanity, although under David Zucker the movie parodies has expanded well beyond what can be labelled scary movies any longer
Scary MoVie (2013)
Apr 23, 2013Genre Spoof
Just when you thought that this witless and unfunny series has died off, it drags itself out of mothballs for another outing. If you've seen any of the other entries, it is exactly the same humour - a bunch of recent movie outings overrun with crude, moronic gags
Machete Kills (2013)
Oct 12, 2013Gonzo Action Film
Robert Rodriguez escalates his earlier Mexican-themed action film into an insanely creative comic-book overflowing with science-fiction devices (and homages). The casting alone is side-splitting and Rodriguez's nonsensical absurdism wins the day
