Movie Review - No Escape (1994)

Movie Review – No Escape (1994)

In the fantastic future year of 2022, big biz owns the world’s prisons and they love nothing more than exiling problem prisoners to a remote island known as Absolom, a piece of land populated entirely by convicts, cannibals and other assorted wacky-ass chaps! This is something Marine John Robbins (Ray Liotta) learns about intimately as his ass is thrown there almost immediately after being incarcerated for the murder of the commanding officer who demanded our hero murder innocent civilians. Before long, Robbins finds himself caught between the neo-primitive Outsiders who rule the jungle with violence from a base located in an abandoned resort, and the Insiders, a group of more peaceful folk who form a small tribe that try to keep to themselves far removed from the Outsider’s jungle… though not so far that the gang’s leader, the absolutely off-the-wall Walter Marek (Stuart Wilson), doesn’t launch frequent pillaging sessions, much to the chagrin of the Insider’s leader, Father (the legendary

Movie Review: The Kindred (1987)

Ol’ scientist type John (David Allen Brooks) is having one hell of a shit day. Not only has his mother Amanda (Planet of the Apes‘ Kim Hunter), a scientist as well, been in the shittiest of health, but she is screaming all manner of shit about a brother John never knew he had (not before imploring him to destroy everything pertaining to her experiments). Speaking of “experiments”, the head of the lab where John toils away, Dr. Phillip Lloyd (Rod Steiger in a baffling choice of hairpiece) knows all about the things Amanda was cooking up in that lab of hers, and he’d do anything to posses it’s secrets… probably to add to the legions of monstrous murderous mutants he keeps in a secret prison. So anyway, John, his girlfriend Sharon (Talia Balsam), a cadre of students, and a devotee of his mother’s work, Melissa Leftridge (Max Headroom‘s Amanda Pays… and yes, I know she was in the ’90s Flash

Naturally the little fool believes this rando psycho is the real deal come to life from his game, so he brings the murderous wine-guzzlin’, panty sniffin’, middle finger flippin’ monster home and hides him in the basement so he can kill ol’ Alex… and he does… eventually… and a whole mess of other people too!
