Re: 6th Annual Sci Fi/Fantasy Challenge List Thread
Ash Ketchum’s 3rd Annual Sci-Fi/Fantasy Challenge
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8431/7...0565496ae2.jpg * - First-time viewings Mon. July 1, 2013 1. CRIMSON WOLF (1994/Japan, 60 min., color, anime fantasy thriller/OAV) DVD (dubbed in English) Dir.: Shoichi Masuo. When the tomb of Genghis Khan is violated by Japanese archaeologists, dire prophecies are bandied about and three warriors with wolf-shaped scars must be located and destroyed in order for global disaster to be averted. Lots of sex, nudity and gory bloodshed, but the plot is too convoluted and the characters too dull for this to be as entertaining as it ought to be. Set in China and Japan, with Chairman Mao as one of the evil incarnations confronting the heroes at the end. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2841/9...95efae44_n.jpg Tues. July 2, 2013 2. *MASKED RIDER THE FIRST (2005/Japan, 90 min., color, sci-fi superhero adventure/Toei) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Takao Nagaishi. Star: Masaya Kikawada. Movie spin-off (and reboot) of the long-running Kamen Rider TV series, which began in 1971. In this one, two Kamen Rider cyborgs fight over a girl and then turn against Shocker, the evil organization that created them. It’s too ponderous and takes itself way too seriously to be the kind of fun that earlier Kamen Rider productions were. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3701/9...a6909663_n.jpg Wed. July 3, 2013 3. SOL BIANCA (1990/Japan, 55 min., color, anime sci-fi adventure/OAV) VHS (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Katsuhito Akiyama. A crew of female space pirates barges in on a planetary conflict in search of treasure. Beautifully animated and designed, but the geeky emphasis on tech details rather than story construction makes it incomprehensible at times. From the director of two much better female sci-fi action series, “Bubblegum Crisis” and “Gall Force.” http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7302/9...ab190e16_n.jpg 4. Sakura Wars (2000/Japan, 25 min., color, anime sci-fi historical thriller/TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Ryutaro Nakamura. #1: Sakura Arrives at the Capital In 1920s Tokyo, Sakura is eager to do battle with the Black Sanctum Council, but is assigned to the Imperial Flower theatrical troupe instead. Thurs. July 4, 2013 5. *SOHRYUDEN: LEGEND OF THE DRAGON KINGS (1991/Japan, 92 min., color, anime fantasy thriller/OAV) VHS (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Norio Kashima. Vol. 3: “The Graceful Agent” / “Skyscrapers and the Red Dragon” Spectacular fantasy thriller in which the four super-powered Dragon Brothers take on Japan’s corrupt power elite (and their American counterparts) in contemporary Tokyo. Cyborg dogs terrorize a baseball stadium during an All-Star game in one memorable sequence. A zeppelin crashes into a twin-towered skyscraper in another. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7459/9...48e21b18_n.jpg 6. *IRIA: ZEIRAM THE ANIMATION, Vol. 1 (1994/Japan, 55 min., color, anime sci-fi adventure/OAV) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Tetsuro Amino. #1: Pitch Black #2: Rampage Space bounty hunters fight a powerful monster in this beautifully designed and animated space adventure, which was designed as a prequel to two “Zeiram” live-action sci-fi movies. I didn’t always understand what was going on, though. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3779/9...1b1b7c3e_m.jpg 7. *8 KAMEN RIDERS VS. GALAXY KING (1980/Japan, 45 min., color, sci-fi superhero movie/Toei) VHS (in Japanese, no subs.) Dir.: Shotaro Ishinomori. Garish period fashions, outlandish monsters, lots of action. Standard tokusatsu movie spin-off. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7324/9...11ef0bd2_n.jpg 8-10. *ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS (1983/Japan, color, anime sci-fi TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Ryosuke Takahashi. #14: Assemble EX-10 #15: Doubts #16: Clean Sweep Chirico signs on as a mercenary fighting guerrillas in a tropical Amazon-like region and believes he’s found his lost love—working for the enemy! Lots of combat action as the series switches to a new setting. (I watched the first 13 eps. for last year’s animation challenge.) http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2806/9...c9a334b0_n.jpg July 5, 2013 11-12. *ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS (1983/Japan, color, anime sci-fi TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Ryosuke Takahashi. #17: Reunion #18: Turnabout Chirico finds his lost love while the Veela guerrillas ramp up their attack, just as the government gets a new ally—the army Chirico deserted from! 13. *SOHRYUDEN: LEGEND OF THE DRAGON KINGS (1991/Japan, 92 min., color, anime fantasy thriller/OAV) VHS (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Norio Kashima. Vol. 4: “Revenge of the Four Brothers” / “Rampage of the Iron Dragon” One brother gets abducted while the other three go looking for him. At one point the JSDF and the Metropolitan Police confront each other, while the brothers commandeer a tank and continue their search. Wildly unpredictable, with many bizarre touches. July 6, 2013 14, *Pokémon Black and White: Adventures in Unova (2013/Japan, color, half-hour anime fantasy adventure) Seen on Cartoon Network-HD. Dubbed in English. “Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!” (July 6, 2013) 15-16. *ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS (1983/Japan, color, anime sci-fi TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Ryosuke Takahashi. #19: Intentions #20: Fyana 17. FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD (1965/Japan, 85 min., color, sci-fi thriller/Toho) DVD (dubbed in English) Dir.: Ishiro Honda. Stars: Nick Adams, Kumi Mizuno. An American doctor working with patients in Hiroshima encounters a strange, feral boy with a high radiation count who keeps growing and growing until he becomes giant-size and poses a threat. Very unusual kaiju adventure, with a human giant and an American star. The first collaboration between American and Japanese studios. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5459/9...0761286c_n.jpg July 7, 2013 18. *FRANKENSTEIN VS. BARAGON (1965/Japan, 93 min., color, sci-fi thriller/Toho) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Ishiro Honda. Stars: Nick Adams, Kumi Mizuno. Slightly longer “international” version of FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD, with a new ending involving a giant octopus. Adams is dubbed in Japanese. I prefer the American cut. July 8, 2013 19. TECHNO POLICE 21C (1982/Japan, 78 min., color, anime sci-fi thriller/Toho) VHS (dubbed in English) Dir.: Masashi Matsumoto. Music: Jo Hisaishi. A secret military super-tank is stolen but soon begins acting on its own, while the Techno Police are in pursuit. Poorly dubbed, but the constant mecha action is well animated. The plot looks forward to PATLABOR THE MOVIE and ROUJIN Z. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3768/9...03b65765_n.jpg July 10, 2013 20-21. JETMAN (aka CHOJIN SENTAI JETMAN, 1991/Japan, 40 min., color, sentai superhero TV show) VHS (in Japanese, no subs.) Dir.: Keita Amemiya. #1: Seek the Warriors #2: The Third Warrior This is the sentai series that immediately preceded “Zyuranger,” the series that was adapted into “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” This one is distinguished by direction by tokusatsu master Keita Amemiya (HAKAIDER, MOON OVER TAO, KAMEN RIDER ZO, etc.). http://nosgeeks.com.br/wp-content/up...4/jetmanp2.jpg July 11, 2013 22-25. *BATTLE FEVER J, Vol. 1 (1979/Japan, 100 min., color, superhero sentai series/Toei) VHS (in Japanese, no subs.) Eps. 1-4 #1: Assault!! Run to the Ballpark #2: Egos’ Monster-Making Method #3: Search for the Spy! #4: It’s a Super-Powered Trap! The fifth sentai (Power Rangers) series and the first one with a character (half-Japanese “Diane Martin”) who’s American. Each of the five members of the team supposedly represents a different country, although they’re all played by Japanese actors. http://www.rovang.org/sentai/fever-team.jpg July 12, 2013 26. *PACIFIC RIM – in 3-D IMAX (2013/U.S., 131 min., color, sci-fi kaiju spectacle/WB-Legendary) Seen at a multiplex/digital projection. Dir.: Guillermo del Toro. Stars: Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba. Giant, human-piloted robots fend off attacks by giant monsters from the ocean depths. Some good ideas and impressive setpieces, but script problems and casting errors prevent it from becoming the true pop classic it should have been. July 13, 2013 27. *Pokémon Black and White: Adventures in Unova (2013/Japan, color, half-hour anime fantasy adventure) Seen on Cartoon Network-HD. Dubbed in English. “Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!” 28. GODZILLA: TOKYO S.O.S. (2003/Japan, 91 min., color, sci-fi kaiju spectacle/Toho) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Masaaki Tezuka. Stars: Hiroshi Koizumi, Noboru Kaneko. Arguably the best of the 21st century Godzilla movies. Godzilla attacks Tokyo. Mothra and MechaGodzilla team up to fight him. The Tokyo Tower gets knocked down and the Diet building gets smashed. Koizumi plays the same scientist character he’d played in MOTHRA in 1961. A new pair of "fairies" sings the Mothra song. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2848/9...8973c220_n.jpg 29. M.D. GEIST (1986/Japan, 45 min., color, anime sci-fi mecha thriller/OAV) VHS (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Hayato Ikeda. Post-apocalyptic thriller in which an MDS (Most Dangerous Soldier) works for the beleaguered Regular Army to fight Mad Max-style gangs in a human space colony on a faraway planet. Bloody, fast-paced and short. Ends on a cliffhanger, which resulted in a sequel eleven years later! http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2822/9...d826b808_n.jpg July 14, 2013 30. SPACE AMOEBA (aka YOG: MONSTER FROM SPACE, 1970/Japan, 84 min., color, sci-fi adventure/Toho) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Ishiro Honda. Stars: Akira Kubo, Yoshio Tsuchiya, Kenji Sahara. An alien intelligence takes over creatures on a tropical Pacific island, including a squid, a crab and a turtle, just as a team working for a Japanese resort arrives on the island. Some good ideas, but when the only monster battle involves a giant crab and a giant turtle, there’s a limit to the amount of excitement that can be achieved. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7384/9...f92afb694f.jpg 31. M.D. GEIST II: DEATH FORCE (1996/Japan, 45 min., color, anime sci-fi mecha thriller/OAV) VHS (dubbed in English) Dir.: Koichi Ohata. The first one, from 1986, ended on a cliffhanger. The second one, ten years later(!) picks up quite a bit after the first one ended, so forgive us for being confused. Lots of action and gore, but not much sense, as Geist takes on the army and its newer super-warrior. Ends rather abruptly, with no sequel in sight. 32. THE SUPER INFRAMAN (aka INFRAMAN, 1975/Hong Kong, 85 min., color, sci-fi superhero adventure/Shaw Bros.) R3 DVD (in Mandarin with English subs.) Dir.: Hua Shan. Star: Danny Lee. If “Ultraman” was made in Hong Kong with HK stunt teams and lots of kung fu and wire fu and the monsters laughed and joked and taunted the heroes, you’d have INFRAMAN, a true classic. This played in U.S. theaters in an English-dubbed version in 1979 and I saw it in Times Square. http://www.katanasycolegialas.es/wp-...an3820lde8.jpg 33-35. *EDEN OF THE EAST (2009/Japan, 23 min., color, sci-fi thriller TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Kenji Kamiyama. #1: I Picked Up a Prince! #2: Melancholy Monday #3: On the Night of the Late Show A young Japanese man finds himself with amnesia and a high-tech cellphone that pays for anything he wants and connects him to a “concierge” who gets him whatever he wants. He picks up a college girl to help him find out who he is. Not quite as mind-tripping as “Gantz,” “Lain” or “Boogiepop Phantom,” and a little lighter in mood than those, but somewhat in that tradition. Loaded with film references. 36-38. POWER RANGERS TIME FORCE (2001/U.S.-Japan, color, sci-fi superhero TV series/Saban) VHS (taped off Fox Kids) #1: Force from the Future, Part 1 #2: Force from the Future, Part 2 #3: Something to Fight For Four Power Rangers from the year 3000 chase a villain back in time to 2001. They find their Red Ranger in an ancestor of the partner who died fighting the villain in 3000. One of the very best Power Rangers seasons and the only one with name actors (Vernon Wells as Ransik, the villain, and Edward Albert as the Red Ranger’s father). July 15, 2013 39. *ULTRAMAN (1966/Japan, color, sci-fi superhero TV series/Tsuburaya Productions) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) #7: The Blue Stone of Baraji The Ultra crew is joined by a white agent from the Paris bureau and they all go to a lost desert town in Arabia where they find a statue of Ultraman built to honor “the God of Noa.” The monster is a giant beetle. 40. *EDEN OF THE EAST (2009/Japan, color, sci-fi thriller TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Kenji Kamiyama. #4: Real Reality, Fictional Reality July 16, 2013 41. *ULTRAMAN (1966/Japan, color, sci-fi superhero TV series/Tsuburaya Productions) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) #8: The Lawless Monster Zone 42. *TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE (1959/U.S., 85 min., b&w, sci-fi) DVD (Mill Creek Sci-Fi Classics set) Dir.: Tom Graeff. Stars: David Love, Dawn Bender. As badly-acted, extremely low-budget, special effects-challenged '50s sci-fi goes, this one is actually quite watchable. It has a peculiar charm and a certain amount of suspense. With more money, some name actors and a real director, it might actually have been good. July 17, 2013 43-44. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (1979/Japan, color, anime space sci-fi series) VHS (English-dubbed) Dir.: Yoshiyuki Tomino. #12: The Threat of Zeon #13: Coming Home July 18, 2013 45. *ULTRAMAN (1966/Japan, color, sci-fi superhero TV series/Tsuburaya Productions) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) #9: Operation: Uranium July 19, 2013 46-47. *EDEN OF THE EAST (2009/Japan, color, anime sci-fi thriller TV series) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Dir.: Kenji Kamiyama. #5: “This Is No Time to Be Thinking about That…” #6: “Eden of the East” 48. *DENSHI SENTAI DENJIMAN: THE MOVIE (1980/Japan, 45 min., color, superhero sentai movie/Toei) DVD (in Japanese with no subs.) Cast: Kenji Ohba, Machiko Soga. Movie spin-off of the “Denjiman” TV series, the 1980 entry in the sentai franchise (later adapted into the Power Rangers franchise). Kenji Ohba was also in “Battle Fever J” and later in KILL BILL VOL. 1. Machiko Soga plays the villain here and was the villain, Bandora, in “Zyuranger,” a character renamed Rita Repulsa when the series was adapted into “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” 49-52. SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN (1982/Japan, color, space/sci-fi/martial arts TV series/Toei) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) Star: Kenji Ohba. #3: It's Major! Stop Dr. Kuroboshi's BEM Project #4: The Majin Helmet That Calls For Death #5: Mimi Cries! The Deadly Poison Cobra Bullet Hits Retsu #6: The Geniuses of the Makuu School As tokusatsu series go, this one probably has the best martial arts action scenes, as Sonny Chiba’s sidekick, Kenji Ohba, takes on numerous alien bad guys both in and out of his Gavan costume. 53. DENSHI SENTAI DENJIMAN (1980/Japan, color, superhero sentai series/Toei) VHS (in Japanese with no subs.) Cast: Kenji Ohba, Machiko Soga. #18: Romance Blooms at the Southern Sea The aliens turn people into fish-men, including the Pink Ranger’s fiancé. The title is also spelled as “Denziman.” 54. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (1979/Japan, color, anime space sci-fi TV series) VHS (English-dubbed) Dir.: Yoshiyuki Tomino. #14: Time, Be Still July 20, 2013 55. *Pokémon Black and White: Adventures in Unova (2013/Japan, color, half-hour anime fantasy adventure) Seen on Cartoon Network-HD. Dubbed in English. “What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!” Interpol finally catches up with Team Plasma, ending a long story arc. Team Rocket gains new respect after helping out the good guys at a crucial moment. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3771/9...a514f2ab_n.jpg 56. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (1979/Japan, color, space sci-fi) VHS (English-dubbed) Dir.: Yoshiyuki Tomino. #15: Sayla’s Agony 57. THE GREEN HORNET (1940/U.S., b&w, superhero serial/Universal) DVD Directors: Ray Taylor, Ford Beebe. Stars: Gordon Jones, Keye Luke. Chapter 1: The Tunnel of Terror (21 min.) Kato is Korean in this one and a scientific genius, to boot. He also fells a villain with a karate chop, perhaps the first time Asian martial arts is seen in an American movie. July 21, 2013 58-59. BUCK ROGERS (1939)/U.S., b&w, sci-fi serial/Universal) DVD Directors: Ford Beebe, Saul A. Goodkind. Stars: Buster Crabbe, Constance Moore. Chapter 1: Tomorrow’s World Chapter 2: Tragedy on Saturn An American dirigible pilot and his sidekick wake up 500 years in the future only to find that gangsters have taken over the world. Very Flash Gordon-like. July 22, 2013 60-62. THE GREEN HORNET (1940/U.S., b&w, superhero serial/Universal) DVD Directors: Ray Taylor, Ford Beebe. Stars: Gordon Jones, Keye Luke. Chapter 2: The Thundering Terror Chapter 3: The Flying Coffins Chapter 4: Pillar of Flame Alan Ladd has a bit part in Chapters 3 & 4. 63. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (1979/Japan, color, anime space sci-fi series) VHS (English-dubbed) Dir.: Yoshiyuki Tomino. #16: Amuro Deserts July 23, 2013 64-65. BUCK ROGERS (1939)/U.S., b&w, sci-fi serial/Universal) DVD Directors: Ford Beebe, Saul A. Goodkind. Stars: Buster Crabbe, Constance Moore. Chapter 3: The Enemy’s Stronghold Chapter 4: The Sky Patrol July 24, 2013 66. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (1979/Japan, color, anime space sci-fi series) VHS (English-dubbed) Dir.: Yoshiyuki Tomino. #17: Zeon’s Secret Mine 67. *ULTRAMAN (1966/Japan, color, sci-fi superhero TV series/Tsuburaya Productions) DVD (in Japanese with English subs.) #10: The Mysterious Dinosaur Base Ultraman fights a monster called Jirass, but it’s really Godzilla with a neck appendage, which Ultraman rather brutally rips off at one point, leaving a wounded monster who sure looks identical to Godzilla. July 25, 2013 68-69.

The Thing From Another World! (1951) (DVD) My Thoughts: The vegetable-Frankenstien Thing pales in comparison to it's remake but is still a great 50's monster movie. But I guess all reviews post 82 are pretty much comparisons of the two so I will try to diverge a little. Holy cat was that guy really saying 'Holy Cat'? There was a lot of interesting concepts in this movie but they seemed noticeably hampered by budgetary concerns. Still the dialog was interesting and snappy and overlapped in a way that was most unusual for the time (I must admit to having that little nugget pointed out for me by a retrospective documentary). An enjoyable if not ultimately by the numbers 50's horror movie (although without context for the time period this may be what started the 50's standard...).

Those little bits always make me regret not following that passion when I was young. Recorded in '95, I would love to have something more updated, perhaps with Russell and a moderator or someone who deconstructs and analyzes the film.

Tom and Jerry Blast Off to Mars! (2005) (Blu-Ray) * My Thoughts: This movie was a pretty big disappointment, when I saw the Blu-Ray I though there might be an actual decent movie here.

I grew up with this movie and have quite a soft spot for it and the lead actresses breasts in my heart. Also the title song is so catchy, I miss movie specific songs. The blu-ray leave a little something to be desired with it's washed out picture and it's shitty sound quality but it still is the best the movie has ever looked. Also there is a bonus feature that is just chicks working out naked, for an hour? It cut into overall challenge viewing time but I allowed it.

He is Troma Entertainment and as such is fascinating to listen too. Also as I have said before, low budget pictures almost always make for better commentaries. Getting an actor in on the track couldn't have hurt though, especially if it was Chrissy.

Also I m always a fan of crazy Russians. (3.5 out of 5) My Wife's Thoughts: It is pretty good but I was very disappointed that creepy monster.

Like the Reavers, the captain's 'wife', the demented bounty hunter and of course what' up with River.

A must listen for any fan, it is making me regret not listening to the show commentaries but it did seem there was a lack of cast participation in those.

X-Men (2000) (DVD) My Thoughts: An interesting set of circumstances, the first really successful super hero movie and one of the last made pre 9/11. The mentality of the movie is quite different than most of the newer breed Marvel movies, more... innocent. It was the coolest film of that summer, even with the bad CG. And there is no question why they keep making more Wolverine movies as he is by far the most intriguing character.

Getting back to Despicable Me, not quite up to Pixar level of quality but still really good and I look forward to Despicable Me 2 (although Megamind 2 would have been preferable).

Dollhouse S01E01-04 (2009) (Blu-Ray) My Thoughts: I had not anticipated revisiting this so soon after just watching it for the first time earlier this year. And I probably wouldn't have if it hadn't of been for Firefly. But there is just something about those Whedon-verses and of course Eliza Dushku. I fell for this show here in the first few episodes but couldn't even conceive of where it finally ended up.

Good narrative but like most non-Pixar animated movies it skewed a bit young for me but hey I am getting around that age were I might want to start stocking up on those type of movies. (4 out of 5) My Wife's Thoughts: It is a good but I thought it is very difficult for kids, that is more for adult movie. And looks like Avatar / How To Train The Dragon put it together.

Re: 6th Annual Sci Fi/Fantasy Challenge List Thread
* = First-time viewing June 30 1. * Europa Report (2013). iTunes--Found-footage as a narrative device has really run its course, IMO, but this was a clever and suspenseful exception. The crew really should have heeded the warning from 2010: ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE because (Mouseover to read spoiler)the glowing space octopus will eat you* 2. The Hunger Games (2012). Blu-Ray--Sometimes a film surpasses its source material, and that's the case here with a smart, satirical dystopian sci-fi flick. July 1 3. Looper (2012). Blu-Ray--Looper's plot structure, like most time travel films, has a ton of logical holes, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is amazing as the cynical anti-hero. July 3 4. Lifeforce with Tobe Hooper Commentary (1986). Blu-Ray--A tremendously fun treasure from the 80s. July 4 5. Idiocracy (2006). iTunes-Is this even fiction nowadays? July 6 6. Time After Time (1979). DVD--H.G. Wells uses his time machine to travel to 1979 to catch Jack The Ripper. Of course, the movie is set in "modern" times, but in the 34 years since this film's release, its setting is every bit as archaic as Victorian London. 7. The 10th Victim (1966). Online--60s Mod fashion that influenced a generation of films, especially the Austin Powers series. July 7 8. * Radioactive Dreams (1985). Online--I've heard about this film for decades, and now I've seen it: it's a silly post-apocalypse tribute to 1940s detective films with a low-budget 80s punk gloss. 9. Repo: The Genetic Opera (2008). Blu-Ray--I've watched this so many times, and it still rocks. Anthony Head and Sarah Brightman are amazing. July 9 10. Mannequin (1987). TV--Pre-Sex and the City-Kim Cattrall plays a girl from ancient Egypt who turns up as a department store dummy only Andrew McCarthy can see. Although it is thoroughly mired in the 80s, it still holds up as a fun brainless romp. 11. Zotz! (1962). DVD--The kind of silly, but engaging, movie I grew up on on Saturday afternoons. Tom Poston plays a stereotypical absent-minded professor who gains possession of a magic coin and gets involved with Soviet spies and assorted sit-comish shenanigans. July 11 12. Mars Attacks (1997). TV--AKA Tim Burton's 1941, a pet project stuffed with A-list talent that turns out to be a huge overstuffed mess. 13. Jason and the Argonauts (1963). TV--So English I expected Jason to have tea breaks with the Hydra. 14. *Sharknado (2013). TV--It's a hurricane that shoots sharks at actors just barely clinging to the bottom rung of showbiz. July 12 15. *Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977). TV--Just terrible. Poorly written and acted and filmed in a low-tech cheesy style. Harryhausen's creatures are terrific as always, but they are in service of a bad script. July 13 16. *The Bay (2012). Netflix--There are some really scary moments here, but the film overall is wrecked by the hamhanded narration and the disjointed videos that are supposed to be "found footage." The film would have been far scarier if, like [*]REC, we had just followed the reporter on the day as she discovers the horrifying truth. 17. *Pacific Rim (2013). Theatrical--I don't get why people are complaining about PR--it has giant robots fighting monsters. 18. *Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012). TV--I don't usually like Steve Carell films, but he and Kiera Knightley have sweet romantic chemistry. July 14 19. *No Escape (1994). TV--Ray Liotta gives up Goodfellas to be a badass in a Lord of the Flies-esque prison colony in the near future. July 15 20. The Day After Tomorrow (2004). DVD--Global warming provokes a new ice age. Very silly stuff, including a scene where Jake Gyllenhall is chased by frost(!), but an entertaining apocalyptic film overall. 21. Things to Come (1936).Blu-Ray--A genuinely monumental film, written by H.G. Wells who takes the anticipation of war in the 1930s and creates a world-spanning saga of mankind fallen into a new dark age. War has destroyed civilization and Everytown (aka London) becomes a ruin ruled by a warlord. But a cadre of scientists headquartered in Iraq restart a new age of scientific progress. The dark age section with Ralph Richardson as The Chief, a petty warlord who rules the ruins of the old world is easily the strongest. July 16 22. Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers (1957). DVD--Completely kick-ass quintessentially 50s sci-fi. Being a DC-area resident, I get a kick out of Harryhausen's aliens wrecking DC landmarks like the Washington Monument and Union Station. 23. Death Becomes Her (1992). TV--Such a fun film, and you can tell Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep had fun making it. July 17 24. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). DVD--Even after dozens of viewings over the years, this classic still has the power to give me nightmares. The 1956 original is still terrifically effective, but this version is king. July 18 25. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club (1978). DVD--Yes, it's hopelessly mired in the 70s, but you have ot love the Bee Gees doing Beatles covers. 25. Zardoz (1974). DVD--An opaque masterpiece, Zardoz addresses the deepest questions of what it means to be human. July 19 26. *This Is The End (2013). Theatrical--Good visual effects, but not nearly as funny as I was led to believe. Where's the humor in a bunch of Hollywood douchebags playing themselves as Hollywood douchebags in the post-Rapture hellscape? July 21 27. *Supergirl (1984)A fabulous disaster. No wonder it killed Faye Dunaway's career. 28. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (1978). DVD--A completely fun film! 29. The Illustrated Man (1969). DVD--Rod Steiger at his loud and obnoxious best in a trio of Ray Bradbury stories. July 22 30. *Iron Sky (2012) Netflix Nazis on the moon, an awesome concept on paper, turned into a fairly dull sci-fi comedy with some lousy visual effects. In the right hands, the idea of moon Nazis becoming campaign strategists for President Sarah Palin could have been a piece of gonzo brilliance. July 23 31. Timeline (2003). TV--The film leaves our some of the best parts of the book, but on its own it's a perfectly fine time travel/ historical action film. 32. The Brahmin and the Butterfly (1901).Online--A magician turns a caterpillar into a butterfly girl. 33. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (2008). DVD--Is there anything Joss Whedon can't do? Dr. Horrible is a musical comedy gem with the typical Whedonverse dark twist of pathos. 34. MST3K: Space Mutiny (1988).Online--Blast Hardcheese! Rock Squatthrust! July 24 35. Between Two Worlds (1944). DVD--Paul Henreid was an average-looking guy; how did he get so many roles as romantic lead? In this film, he plays a suicide who finds himself on an ocean liner sailing into eternity. It's overly melodramatic at times, but it's always worth watching. 36. Ghosts of Mars (2001). TV--I hated this piece of crap when I saw it in the theater, so I thought I'd give it another chance. It's still a terrible movie with bad acting and a hard rock soundtrack that gave me a headache. July 25 37. Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985). DVD--Maybe we should have gotten a clue about Mel Gibson when he played Mad Max 3 times. It's not as iconic as Road Warrior, but Thunderdome is still a quintessential 80s action film. Tina Turner really makes this film for me. Need to get the Blu-Ray because the DVD is one of the few fool-screen discs in my collection. July 26 38. *Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011). TV- Two hours of my life I will never get back. At some point, Nick Cage's acting needs to be declared a war crime. July 27 39. *Doctor Who: Vengeance of the Daleks (1988). TV- I had abandoned Doctor Who after Peter Davison, so I missed the original run of the Seventh Doctor. This was a very good Dalek episode, even with the obvious limited budget. 40. *Cloud Atlas (2012). Blu-Ray- You have to love a film crafted with such intelligence and care that takes the whole of human history as its canvas. July 29 41. *The Colony (2013). Blu-Ray- In an earlier age The Colony would have been a drive-in movie. It's set a few decades in the future after a new ice age has wiped out most of humanity, and the remaining survivors are huddled underground in small colonies. A distress call is sent to one colony from another and then hilarity ensues. It's not a bad film, but it does seem to be beneath the talents of Lawrence Fishburne and Bill Paxton. 42. *Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962).Online--John Agar travels to Uranus in the far-off year 2001! He and his crew of Danish actors have to fight an evil entity that tries to tempt them with illusions. July 30 43. The Golden Child (1986). Netflix- Axel Foley fights Tywin Lannister. Actually, I love this movie, from when Eddie Murphy was still funny. July 31 44. *Daimajin (1966). Blu-Ray- I saw the 3rd film in this series on some Saturday afternoon horror show when I was a wee tot and infomercials had not yet replaced the afternoon movie in the early 70s, but I had never seen this one. Good stuff. For Japanese kaiju, this is a very good blend of chambara with giant stone statue shenanigans. Checklist Spoiler:
