Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991)
Feb 16, 2001Cyberpunk/Biker Movie
The novelty of a Cyberpunk biker film, this is an efficient actioner and assemblage of paper-thin cliches and poses with almost nothing of substance beneath them
Tom Sizemore
Striking Distance (1993)
Aug 14, 2000Action/Psycho-Thriller
Action thriller with Bruce Willis as a river patrol detective hunting a serial killer
Heart and Souls (1993)

Natural Born Killers (1994)
Sep 11, 2000Mass Murder Spree
Oliver Stone film with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as a couple on an ultra-violent mass murder spree. Stone gets heavy-handedly preachy but directs with an excess of style that proves enormously entertaining
Strange Days (1995)
Feb 2, 2003Near Future Social Disorder/The Millennium/Virtual Memories
A Kathryn Bigelow directed Cyberpunk film scripted by James Cameron concerning an illicit technology that can replay memories. This offers a powerful vision of a socially divided L.A. on the eve of the millennium
The Relic (1997)
Jul 8, 2005Monster Movie
This is a copy of Alien with a monster hunting people through darkened corridors and is generic in all regards, although you have to admit that Stan Winston creates an original monster and the film generates reasonable suspense
Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
Oct 25, 1999Urban Hell/Haunted Ambulance Driver
Martin Scorsese returns to the vision of urban hell he gave us in Taxi Driver with Nicolas Cage as an ambulance driver haunted the dead he sees. Powerful, blackly funny at times, if not quite up there as another Taxi Driver
Red Planet (2000)
Dec 31, 2000Mission to Mars
One of a spate of scientifically grounded Mars movies that came out in 2000, featuring a space mission crew stranded on the planet
Big Trouble (2002)
Dec 28, 2004Nuclear Weapon Comedy
A flop comedy based on a Dave Barry novel about various characters trying to obtain a nuclear weapon. Despite a reasonable name cast, this becomes slapstick inanity in director Barry Sonnenfeld's hands
Dreamcatcher (2003)

Ring Around the Rosie (2006)
Sep 16, 2012Haunting/Reality Bender
This starts out as a seeming ghost story without creating much tension then features Tom Sizemore going psycho, before arriving at one of the most confusing of all attempts to conduct an M. Night Shyamalan twist ending
Cross (2011)
Jan 22, 2014Action Film/Mystical Artifacts
A copy of The Expendables (albeit with the addition of fantasy elements) that brings together a line-up of B-action movie actors as a team. While some of the actors shine, the feel is of a cheaper effort earnestly trying to copy its betters
Suing the Devil (2011)
Aug 21, 2013Satan on Trial in Court
A Christian-made film based on the intriguing idea of Satan on trial in a courtroom. A film that in its bad acting, laughable dialogue and lack of conviction rivals The Room in bad movie stakes. The usually worthwhile Malcolm McDowell, who for some reason also produces, gives one of his worst performances
Exit 14 (2015)
Nov 14, 2017Backwoods Supernatural
Friends on Springbreak break down after taking a detour where they encounter creepy towtruck driver Tom Sizemore and drunkenly summon the spirit of a murdered woman
The Intruders (2015)
Jun 26, 2017Possible Haunted House

Cross Wars (2017)
Apr 13, 2018Action Team vs Immortal Villain
Cross was a low-budget attempt to copy The Expendables, featuring a C-list team of action stars (plus some fantasy elements). This is a sequel you doubt many people were burning to see
Atomica (2017)
May 29, 2020Mystery at a Future Nuclear Waste Recycling Plant
While the title suggests some lost 1950s atomic monster film, this is a rather dull film that concerns mysterious happenings at a near future nuclear waste reprocessing plant
Nazi Overlord (2018)
Jul 25, 2019Nazi Mad Science Experiments/The Asylum Mockbuster
The Asylum's mockbuster answer to the J.J. Abrams' produced Overlord concerning GIs on a mission behind enemy lines encountering Nazi mad science. Passably well made for the most part
Cross: Rise of the Villains (2019)
Feb 29, 2024Action Team
Third of the Cross films, a more fantastical variant on The Expendables, bringing 90s action actors back out of mothballs to form a team as they face various super-villains in present-day L.A.
Alien Conquest (2021)
Feb 4, 2025Alien Invasion/Modernised The War of the Worlds Adaptation

Battle for Pandora (2022)
Sep 16, 2024Planetary Exploration/Alien Body Snatchers
The Asylum’s mockbuster take on Avatar: The Way of Water, which ingeniously exploits the fact that Saturn has a moon called Pandora. The rest is a low-budget body snatchers film
