Haven't seen Postal, but also enjoyed Assault on Wall Street and Rampage. Not great, but solid, Grade B, B-Movies. Thought he might have actually been going up in the world for a bit, but it seems they were more like flukes.

Was synth-pop really "smaller" than grunge? There weren't many big selling acts like Nirvana or Pearl Jam I suppose, but arguably it dominated and defined the airwaves in the UK and much of Europe at some points in the 80s

He also described himself as a "secular humanist" in Rheta Grimsley Johnson's biography, which was authorised and came out in the late 80s (i.e. while he was still alive and could object). Certainly not conjecture on Michaelis' part. Still, I'd guess that the use of scripture was intended in a somewhat more straight…

Not really the same kind of thing; Flashbeagle was made while Schulz was alive, and it was all his idea. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as people say either; the majority of it is pretty standard Peanuts stuff, to the extent that it's actually one of the more traditional specials from the era, and for my…

I'm pretty sure the only reason there hasn't been a CGI Peanuts movie is because Schulz' will supposedly specified pretty limited options for future stories with the Peanuts characters. At any rate, his family own the rights to the characters, and they obviously don't want to see it screwed up. If they didn't I'm 90%…

BON VOYAGE is the only one of the movies I'm not so keen on (at least now, I'm sure I liked it just fine as a kid). Some of the stuff with Snoopy is pretty funny but the plot and the characters who are introduced in the film strike me as a bit bland and un-Peanuts-y. To be fair the bullies in RACE FOR YOUR LIFE are a…

Not sure about The 'burbs, which I haven't seen in years but remember really enjoying, but Vampire's Kiss is nothing like Once Bitten. Once Bitten is a full-on goofy Police Academy style movie (with some funny moments), Vampire's Kiss is an over the top but pitch black, psychologically charged comedy with hints of…

I remeber when Transformers came out some people said Bay did well with a relatively modest budget ($150million), and the other day I saw praise for Bryan Singer worker on the first X-Men film without a sufficient budget ($75million in 2000 money). The way the definition of "low budget" is changing is truly terrifying

Vampire's Kiss
Vampire's Kiss MUST be included in the new cult cannon. It, and particularly Cage's performance, really suit the love-it-or-hate definition of cult down to the ground. And with the popularity of the "Nic Cage looses his shit" video on YouTube (and the acclaim for his almost-as-unhinged performance in…

If that helps you

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the rather charming Fleischer studios version from 1939. Not especially faithfull to the book either, but far from the crass junk this seems to be.

Yeah, I'd be more inclined to defend this if they'd have at least included Super Mario World, as my beloved SNES copy does, but they couldn't even be bothered to do that. Honestly, how many people out there would rather have The Lost Levels, which is similar to the first game almost to the point of redundancy, than…
