19 - Phantasm (1979) Review 18:15

18 - The Hidden (1987) Review 18:27

8d ago18:27

18:27

A science-fiction film, a buddy-cop film, an action film, even a dash of horror film -- The Hidden has a lot going on but strikes the balance. Remembered well by those that saw it, it pops up in "underrated" movie lists from time to time yet never seems to catch fire.

17 - The Last Dragon (1985) Review 21:46

18d ago21:46

21:46

The Last Dragon is a wild and totally 80s combination of martial arts, emerging hip-hop culture, and goofy comedy.

14 - Lifeforce (1985) Review 15:18

1M ago15:18

15:18

Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce is a sci/fi horror with off-the-wall ideas and some batshit crazy scenes. And I love it! It's hard to stand out in the vampire and zombie genres, but this film can claim some originality points in both columns. The movie has plenty of fans today, but it didn't fare too well at the box office or with 1980s critics. An ambitio…

Adapting the comic book characters the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into a feature film looks like a no-brainer in hindsight, but back in 1990, only New Line Cinema was willing to take the bet.
