Dec 28, 2014Monster Shark-Octopus Hybrid
Amid the fad for deliberately absurd killer shark films viz Sharknado, this surely takes the prize for ridiculousness of conception and delivery – a hybrid creature with the head of a shark and the tentacles of an octopus. I defy you not to burst into laughter at some of the scenes (*)

Jan 14, 2016Disaster Movie/New Ice Age
Syfy Channel disaster movie about a mass volcanic eruption plunging Europe into an instant Ice Age. All the usual potted formulaic drama and cheap effects – the absurdity of the film is surely demonstrated by the fact that people wander about in the midst of -100 degree temperatures in t-shirts

Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs (2015)

Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs (2015)
Rating: ★★½
Feb 8, 2016Dinosaurs Revived in the Present Day
Despite the disappointment that it is not a Western but set modern-day. This enlivens a formula plot quite well and provides dinosaur effects that range between the surprisingly good and the occasionally ropy

Shark Lake (2015)
Rating: ★★
Dec 30, 2016Killer Shark Film
In the era of Sharknado and the competition to create the most ridiculous killer shark film possible, it is a brave B movie that chooses to go the serious killer shark film route. A fairly average effort where the so-so shark effects tend to be sidelined by the mundane custody battle on the shore

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (2017)

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (2017)
Rating: ½
Jul 17, 2017Modernised Arthurian Legends/The Asylum Mockbuster
NOT the Guy Ritchie film but an Asylum mockbuster released at the same time. Perhaps the most WTF take on the Arthurian legends ever with the Knights as gun-wielding US Marines in present-day Bangkok and Morgan le Fay turning into a giant transformer robot
