Wasted three hours of my life (attempting to watch) Hudson Hawk.(Kept nodding off!)
Jesus,I don't remember it being so bad.
It hasn't aged well at all,a waste of all the talent involved.....

I love it - it’s at times ****ing abysmal but also genius. It’s very uneven but at least it’s different.

XTRO 1982.

While playing with his son and dog, Sam is abducted by aliens, 3 years later he returns but not the same man as something about him has changed.

This is a delight to watch movie, ok its not a big budget movie, but does entertain and can be upsetting especially how Sam was reborn into being a man again. the acting can be a bit wooden at times but the special effects are really good aswell as a good 80s score. 8 out of 10.

XTRO 2: The Second Encounter. 1992.

Scientists under military advisement create a time travel gate and bring back an alien.

Harry Davenport returned to direct his sequel and stars Airwolf star Jan-Michael Vincent, dont be fooled by the two names, this seemed to start off ok but when downhill quicker than an athlete doing a 100 meter sprint. The plot to it seemed good, the acting was not that great, only things that save the movie special effects were good and the music was good. 5 out of 10. Is the third installment any better than this one?

Amazon product description claims they are 'fully restored for the first time ever'.

A bonafide cult classic.
I LOVE Xtro!

Samurai Cop: Deadly Vengeance (Gergory Hatanaka)

Ah, and here was me thinking they didn't make them like this anymore. Filled to the brim with amateurish twaddle, the sequel that no one really expected (or wanted) just about darn near reaches the heights of The Rollerblade 7 (another ... movie I have seen ... yes, I admit it ) ... which for some reason I was reminded of.
Tonal similarities? Who knows. Joe Estevez. Anyhow, everyone apart from our titular truncheon fondler (beat that troggi ) is throughly indecent!!! .

The sex scene alone . Plus in great Boogeyman tradition we get lumps of the original to pad it out . Highly frimming recommendeded!!!
