Just don’t. I should put this in with the Worst War Movie Challenge, but that would mean I’d actually have to finish it. I made it about 20 minutes before I just couldn’t take any more... Read More →

(Reviewed as part of the Worst War Movies Challenge) Remember when Chuck Norris made awesome movies? Yeah, me either. But that’s not the point. The point is I have to flee to Canada now so Chuck ... Read More →

Oh my god, my sides. When I started the Worst War Movies Challenge I had no idea how low I’d be sinking. I don’t even know how to describe Hustler Squad, its that bad. Even Dr. ... Read More →

I’m on the fence on this one. (That happens a lot doesn’t it)… The problem with The Last Escape isn’t so much that its a bad movie, because its not, really. It’s just not that good. A ... Read More →

So. As part of the Worst War Movies Challenge I figured I’d pick up one of the old standbys. 1986′s Iron Eagle. The height of “yeah, I don’t think so” movies from the 1980s. I know ... Read More →

[Reviewed as part of the "Worst War Movies Challenge"!!] “It takes war to another dimension!” Boy, you can say that again. A dimension of suck. Here’s the gist: Squad stumbles on crashed alien spaceship in Germany ... Read More →

From the “where did this come from” school of 1980′s TV specials, I present “Too Young the Hero.” The “true story” of one Calvin Graham, who at the ripe old age of twelve, managed to hoodwink ... Read More →

OK, so after watching the completely awful Air Strike, a thought occurred to me. There has got to be a list of the worst war movies ever made, right? Well, actually there are several. Unfortunately 95% ... Read More →

Whew, that’s better. Behind Enemy Lines 2: Axis of Evil isn’t a masterpiece of modern cinema. But then again it doesn’t try to be. It is what it is, and that’s a kick ass thrill ride ... Read More →

I don’t know. I thought for a minute this one might not be as bad as I thought it would be. Just for a minute. What was my first clue? Was it the terrible “aaaaaa!” when ... Read More →

When Anzio started, I actually considered turning it off. I was greeted with a completely groovy and highly 1965 Tom Jones-ish intro song. If that wasn’t enough, it was followed with an opening scene of a ... Read More →
