Vice Academy 1-3 – Movie Review:

With every successful film there always comes a knock off and seeing as the Police Academy movies were a commercial success it shouldn't be all that surprising that copycat films appeared shortly after. Director Rick Sloane (he of Hobgoblin’s infamy) made six Vice Academy movies – Vinegar Syndrome presents the first three in this collection - and they didn't have the presence of the all mighty Steve Gutenburg to coast on and instead they went for low brow humor and novelty casting to make up for the lack of true star power. The results were decidedly mixed but those who enjoy cornball exploitation comedies or who have a curious interest in the mainstream (and by mainstream ...

Ultra Q: The Complete Series – Movie Review:

Created by renowned special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya, the man behind the original Godzilla and plenty of other classic sci-fi/kaiju/monster and samurai movies to come out of Japan, Ultra Q (the ‘Q’ stands for ‘question’) only lasted one season between 1966 and 1967 – but what a season it was!

Ultraman: The Complete Series – Movie Review:

After the success of the earlier live action monster/sci-fi series Ultra Q, Japan’s Tsuburaya Productions unleashed Ultraman on a monster/superhero hungry public by repurposing a design that was originally intended to be an alien on that earlier show. The series ran from 1966 through 1967 and was a pretty massive hit in Japan. The series remains a cult phenomenon to this day and it’s easy to see why. Though the series is ridiculously formulaic (a monster ...
