The Laughing Policeman (1973)
Sep 4, 2001Detective Thriller/Serial Killer
A gritty US-made adaptation of a Swedish thriller with Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern as detectives investigating a machine-gun murder spree aboard a bus
Louis Gossett Jr
J.D.’s Revenge (1976)
Jul 19, 2010Blaxploitation/Possession
A Blaxploitation film where decent law student Glynn Turman is possessed by the spirit of J.D., a petty hood who was shot in the 1940s and now sets out to take revenge
Jaws 3-D (1983)
Dec 16, 2000Killer Shark
The second sequel to the hit killer shark film. This is shot with gimmick of the early 80s 3D revival fad but this has the effect of reducing Steven Spielberg's masterful suspense to a series of novelty pop-up shocks
Enemy Mine (1985)
Sep 23, 2000Human-Alien Enemies Stranded on a Hostile Planet
SF film with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr as human and alien who are enemies but are forced to cooperate to survive after crashlanding on a hostile alien planet
The Punisher (1990)
Jul 6, 2001Comic-Book Vigilante
Dolph Lundgren's The Punisher is minus his trademark t-shirt and the film takes considerable liberties with the source material but this is a hugely entertaining action comic-book of a film with hilariously tongue-in-cheek dialogue
Monolith (1994)
Jan 19, 2001Cops vs Body-Hopping Alien
Ridiculous action film produced at the peak of The X Files popularity about two detectives against a body-hopping alien and sinister government agency
Bram Stoker’s Legend of the Mummy (1997)
Mar 25, 2003Revived Mummy
Low-budget and cheap looking adaptation of a lesser-known Bram Stoker novel The Jewel of the Seven Stars. This was clearly made to capitalise on Stoker's name following the success of Bram Stoker's Dracula
Left Behind: World at War (2005)
Sep 9, 2007Christian Anti-Christ Film
The third of the Left Behind films with Kirk Cameron facing the Biblical End of the World and the Antichrist. This travels well down into bad movie territory
Delgo (2008)
Jan 15, 2014Animation/Fantasy World
This attempted to do something different to the usual formula US kiddie animation film and creates its own fantasy world. Unfortunately, while the ambition is admirable, the film flopped badly
IF (2024)
Jun 29, 2024Imaginary Companions
Ryan Reynolds and director John Krasinski combine to make a film about imaginary companions, an appealingly quirky effort where a young girl befriends a large furry invisible creature
