The Prestige (2006, Christopher Nolan)
— thestopbutton.com — Oh, good grief. The Prestige is in IMDb’s top 250 movies? It’s so bad, I’m actually going to say something nice about Christopher Nolan in a second here. I’ve never heard of source novelist Christopher Priest and no one I know has ever mentioned him to me, so I’m guessing he’s pretty godawful, ... The Prestige (2006, Christopher Nolan)

— thestopbutton.com — ALL NEW. From the people who brought you “An Alan Smithee Podcast”…More of the night WE came home and watched horror movies for Halloween.

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992, Anthony Hickox)
— thestopbutton.com — Hellraiser III is one of the first “horror” movies I’ve seen where they seemed concerned with action figure tie-ins, with the Cenobites having gimmicks (they shoot CDs, blow fire and so on). It’s also one of those absurd movies set in New York but clearly filmed somewhere else, in this case ... Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992, Anthony Hickox)

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988, Tony Randel)
— thestopbutton.com — So, Hellbound is a British production, but it dubs over the British cops (who are dressed like American cops and carry guns and don’t know how to use them–because they’re British?) with American accents. It’s a lame decision and one of the few gaffs in the film not related to the story itself. ... Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988, Tony Randel)

Surrogates (2009, Jonathan Mostow)
— thestopbutton.com — So they take Bruce Willis and de-age him, but then they put Rosamund Pike in old age make-up? That one doesn’t make much sense. Surrogates is another modern future concept movie–like iRobot or Minority Report –the future comes crashing down because of the movie star hero, there’s some kind of ...

Commando (1985, Mark L. Lester), the director’s cut
— thestopbutton.com — There are a couple good things about Commando –the opening titles and James Horner’s score. Otherwise, I suppose Schwarzenegger isn’t bad in the film, which takes his being Austrian into account, something the majority of his blockbuster roles do not. What’s interesting about the film–and ... Commando (1985, Mark L. Lester), the director’s cut

Hellraiser (1987, Clive Barker)
— thestopbutton.com — So, Hellraiser is supposed to be scary, right? Because it seems like a poorly directed, completely illogical (if a wall split open in front of you, would you walk into it?) mess. It’s only ninety-four minutes, including credits, but it’s this exceptionally boring “scary” movie. The scariest ... Hellraiser (1987, Clive Barker)

Land of the Lost (2009, Brad Silberling)
— thestopbutton.com — I kind of remember the “Land of the Lost” theme song, but don’t remember ever watching the show. I watched the movie because of an interview Elvis Mitchell did with Silberling, but have no idea what he said in that interview to make me interested in seeing it. Land of the Lost was a box ...

Blood: The Last Vampire (2009, Chris Nahon)
— thestopbutton.com — What a disaster. It seems like it should be a good idea… wait, no, it doesn’t. The only time Blood: The Last Vampire works is when it’s a homoerotic romance between Jun Ji-hyun and Allison Miller. The film never recognizes this element, but there’s so much of it, it must have occurred to ... Blood: The Last Vampire (2009, Chris Nahon)
