Lifeforce is one of those movies you hear about for the same reason, the naked woman who was in it. Kinda like how Total Recall is remembered largely for the three breasted hooker. I finally … more
Think back to 1997. Did you really want to see another Alien movie? The first was a horror/sci fi masterpiece and the sequel was a suspensful action classic. The third was such a mess … more

Some people see the X Men as a lower rent version of the Fantastic Four, where many characters are just churned out for their one identifiable super power such as shooting lasers, flying and being furry. … more
Within the first half hour or so of this movie, we could see our hero: Get yelled at by his boss, get stiffed on a bill delivering pizzas by a snotty receptionist, lose his job, get yelled at by … more
My very first review here on Lunch was my ESSAY about this movie. Lets cut to a more condensed hate of this blight on the Star Wars film series. Please see that review "He was a good … more

Out of all the Star Trek movies, this one aged the worst. I still love the story and adventure and it's arguablly the finest of the original "odd numbered" movies. However I … more
Fantastic Four I always looked at as the sunny side of X Men. This is the world where mutated humans are loved by the rest of mankind instead of being obstracized from society and feared. … more
