Review in a Nutshell: A science fiction / buddy cop comedy by a first time director, Real Men (1987) suffers from truly baffling narrative, directorial, and editing decisions that make the film the cinematic equivalent of being kicked by a horse. It’s a weird one.

Hold on to your compact discs, because I Come in Peace (1990), also known as “Dark Angel”, is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: An exuberantly goofy film, I Come in Peace blends buddy cop action with science fiction / horror elements and an acerbic sense of humor as well as strong casting. Come for the gangs of drug-peddling yuppies, stay for the mayhem.

Button up your diapers, because Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: Universally pilloried for Stallone’s poor performance, the terrible writing, and the lame jokes, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot is not as bad as you would expect it to be, largely because Estelle Getty is quite a charming lady. This film plays like a forensic examination on how not to make a comedy, and for that reason I find it fascinating.
