Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla

This actually may be my least favorite Godzilla movie. It wasn’t so much bad as it was weird. The basic story is after the Godzilla Vs Mothra movie some of their genetics got into space,weird space things happened, and Spacegodzilla was created. They tossed in a baby zilla and a baby Mothra some flying robot with a drill. It was just all over the place.

Some psychics tried to control Godzilla with their powers. Another guy wanted to kill him. It just seemed like there was far to much going on.

The fight scenes however were pretty awesome and I have to admit the monster looked pretty cool. As I said, probably my least favorite Godzilla movie but still not really a bad movie. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Zoombies (2015)

I gotta be honest here. I have no idea how to score this movie. The idea was pretty damn original all things considered. All the zombies were animals from a zoo dedicated to endangered species of animals. I love them combining to things people are passionate about, animals and endangered species. That being said it fell into this weird spot where it was a campy B- Horror movie that was trying way to hard not to be what it was. Now anyone that follows my blog knows I LOVE those types of movies, but they have to be done right and this one, well it was hit and miss.

It has a fun goofy premise, but it randomly tries to be serious at random times then skips back at random to being goofy. For example the little girl having a tea party with her stuff animals discovers her koala bear has been replaced with a zombie koala. The scene gets real serious and when we go back to the little girl she somehow ripped this thing in half. Cool goofy fun…but no-one ever mentions this again. It is just accepted that this little girl did this. We then move on. I can happily accept a goofy B-Horror movie or a serious one. But please don’t mix and match. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Almost Human (2014)

This movie had a cool premise. A guy watches his friend get sucked up by a light, guns to another friends house where some lights go out, there is lights in the sky, strange noises and boom another person sucked up into the sky.

Two years later a series of grisly murders take place and Seth believes his friend is some how connected. You won’t get to many exciting or surprising moments in this movie nor will you see anything new. That being said you also won’t have a reason to be disappointed with it either. I won’t say to watch this one, but I can’t recommend you skip it either. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you greatness.

Cabin Fever (2002)

This movie always seemed to be a cult classic with me. A lot of people seemed to hate it and the ones that don’t seem to love it.

A group of college kids rent out a cabin for the week to party,get laid and unwind. It doesn’t take long for all hell to break loose. An obviously very sick man shows up wanting help and not wanting to be infected they drive him off and accidentally set him on fire. Unknown to them he puts himself out by diving into what is the areas water supply.

As the infection spreads people start turning on each other and the local towns people attempt to kill them. The visuals aren’t but the acting is good enough and while not the scariest movie it is still solid. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Don’t Kill It (2017)

Don’t Kill It on the surface is a typical demon movie and honestly it never truly goes much deeper. Dolph Lundgren plays a demon hunter but there is a small twist. He is responsible for letting this demon escape and the demon jumps from host to host in an unusual way. Anytime someone kills the host that person becomes the new host. The story while not very original is pretty well done and Dolph as always is fun to watch. While this may not be the best movie out there, I don’t see any reason to avoid it. Go enjoy it and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Ghoulies 2 (1987)

My friend that requested the first Ghoulies movie will be taking the blame on this one too. Not because he requested this one but simply because i wasn’t going to review one and not the other. Now this one was slightly better. Visuals weren’t bad acting was still solid, and this time our little demons escaped to a carnival called Hells Den where the ran rampant in the haunted house, killed a few people and were they themselves defeated.

I wish this was a joke. They kill these lil bastards by summoning a bigger demon to show up and eat them. It looks like the others. Just bigger. Then they stiff a Molotov cocktail into a midgets gorilla suit, get him to eat it and he explodes…yup. I’m done. Don’t even care if there is a third one. May the gaming gods bring you glory,and may they make sure no one ever sees this movie.

Godzilla vs Mothra (1992)

646593-pdvd_022

Godzilla vs Mothra has been told many times, this time a meteorite awakens Godzilla and Mothra and Mothras dark counterpart Battra. As the movie progresses the three will occasionally fight until Mothra and Battra tranform into flying creatures to do battle. After Mothra is seriously injured,Godzilla attacks Battra until Battra and Mothra are forced to join forces to defeat Godzilla.

Despite the usual Godzilla formula the battle actually isn’t truly the biggest story going on here. The twin girls known to frequent Mothra movies are present and play a huge role, as well as an entire story arc about the purpose of Battra and its purpose for existing and its true connection with Mothra. As much as I love Godzilla movies this one may have the most in depth story of them all and is absolutely worth watching so if you have access to Hulu give it a watch, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Saw 3

saw 3

Ok, I’m telling you to stop at Saw 3. Seriously, don’t keep rolling down this rabbit hole. The ending is fine, not every question has to be answered, let it go. I wish I did.

Saw 3 picks up with Matthews’s team trying to find him. only finding more bodies. But there seems to be something different. These following traps were designed unwinnable, either by flaw or purpose. It doesn’t take long for the cops to figure out it ain’t John Kramer’s work. Matthew’s partner Kerry finds out the hard way when she’s caught, trapped and wins…but dies anyway. Meanwhile, a doctor gets nabbed by Amanda, Jigsaw’s apprentice, and taken to John with a very simple goal: keep John alive long enough for another victim to pass three tests or the bomb collar around her neck will explode. The man being tested is named Jeff, a grieving father whose son got killed by a drunk driver. Every test puts him face to face with someone responsible for the crime and it’s his choice whether to save them or not. Lynn is violently depressed and self medicating on pills while still working at the hospital, which got here in this mess. We begin to see Amanda ain’t quite (cough) stable. We find out she has killed needlessly and rigs her traps to be unwinnable on purpose. At the end she flips and suddenly all these lives are in Amanda’s hands for Jigsaw’s true finale…

Saw 3 would have been a fine end to a damn trilogy. Again the traps were memorable and cool; the angel and crucifix traps stick in my mind a lot. I felt for Jeff and was actually invested in his journey and actually felt for some of the accused too. I liked Amanda as a imperfect apprentice and the relation between her and John has it’s weirdly Star Wars moments. To me, it feels a little longer than it should and the color textures and set design of the series start to get on my nerves a bit, but if it was a TRILOGY I could ignore it. Sadly no. Overall, stop at 3.

Ghoulies (1985)

Until the other day I had never heard of this movie, and I really didn’t know two of them existed. An ex good friend of mine requested I review it. I say ex because a real friend would not have asked me to watch this movie.

That may be a little harsh, the sound and visuals for a movie made in the 1980’s weren’t bad and I have no complaints about the acting, but the story was just so damn stupid. Basically a dude tried to sacrifice is son and mom stops him. Years later he inherited the house, discovers a bunch of stuff including that he can summon little demon creatures and seemingly make it rain in his basement. While the idea sounds good it just wasn’t. The twist at the end when they revive his dad from the dead whom tries to sacrifice his son to the devil in return for eternal life isn’t much a twist nor did it save the movie from being mediocre at best. May the gaming gods bring you glory, and may the have mercy on my friends soul for this movie.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991)

Any fan of the Godzilla franchise knows the movies are basically either CGI or a dude in a suit..or a mixture of both, and you can always tell. And the classic lips still move well after voices stop is well intact.

This time around a ship from the future has come to help rid Japan of Godzilla once and for all before he destroys their nuclear power plants and makes the island unlivable. One small problem, their intent is to make Godzilla not exist so they can use King Ghidorah to take over the world themselves. I won’t spoil the specifics but in the end our favorite fire breathing lizard is back bigger and meaner than ever before.
