Star 80 (1983)
Apr 30, 1999Real-Life Playmate Murder
Bob Fosse's riveting biopic of murdered Playmate Dorothy Stratten with Eric Roberts giving his best performance ever
Mariel Hemingway
Creator (1985)
Oct 27, 2001Cloning and the Meaning of Life
Biochemistry professor Peter O'Toole tries to clone his late wife. A sublime film that has a way over-the-top eccentricity and sparkles with an exuberance of life
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Dec 16, 2000Comic-Book Superhero
The last of the Christopher Reeve Superman films after the series was taken over by Cannon Films. Usually regarded as the series low point due to the cheapness of the effects, this to its credits abandons the comedy focus of the preceding two films and has some not uninteresting aspects
Delirious (1991)
Mar 18, 2005Writer Trapped Inside a TV Soap Opera
Comedy in which John Candy wakes up inside the world of the tv soap opera he writes. This feels like it misses most of the possibilities inherent in its idea
Bad Moon (1996)
May 2, 1999Werewolf
Eric Red directed film with Michael Paré as a werewolf fighting a territorial dispute with his sister's dog. Slight effort that suffers from crappy morphing werewolf transformation effects
Rise of the Zombies (2012)
Jan 29, 2020Zombie Film
The Asylum have not delved into the zombie film as much as they have the gonzo killer shark, which they practically invented. This is one occasion on which they did and is unexpectedly a serious film with a reasonable name cast (including Danny Trejo as a zombie)
