Movie Night Archives -

Three things motivated us to go and see this film at the Fantastic Film Festival: the idea of watching the film with a beautiful view of the city, the robot that makes dresses, and not-gray Leslie Nielsen not acting in Naked Gun. Since Zagreb became hipsterish, many parks, secret gardens and old buildings have come into use for...

Houston, We Have a Problem!

We had the honor to be invited to Croatian premiere of Houston, We Have a Problem! To be honest, it was a long awaited movie, especially after watching a trailer couple of years ago – concept sounded pretty innovative because it was region–oriented and contained space elements, two things that sound incompatible to anyone who...

Forbidden World (1982)

When you see Roger Corman’s name on the front cover of DVD, you kinda know what to expect. You can expect the unexpected or expect totally expected. In any case, you totally don’t know what to expect and yet you know. Better you don’t wrap your mind around that because you could go crazy. The movie begins with...

Danger: Diabolik (1968)

First there was a movie, and then there were comic books… no, wait, it’s the other way round! Let me tell you a story how I discovered and become a fan of this comic book antihero. One night, while returning alone from a dance party in the middle of the night, I passed by some record store window. They were projecting a...

Shadowzone (1990)

We watched another classic – Shadowzone. Starring actors: Kai Winn from Star Trek DS9, Dr. Chew from Blade Runner (the guy that gets his heating pipes ripped out from his environmental suit, inside some cyborg ice lab), and some actress from various bikini themed films. She is naked throughout the entire movie, and kinda...

Lifeforce (1985)

First of all I must say that this is a high budget British – American film worth about 25 million dollars, full of famous actors and crew members, like Duane Barry from X-files (Steve Railsback) or Captain Picard from Star Trek. While the director was Tobe Hooper, the same guy who directed Steven Spielberg’s...

Android (1982)

Another reason why Laser Discs are great – every now and then, browsing through the Internet wasteland, I find some SF movie I didn’t watch, like Android from 1982. Who plays: Klaus Kinski and Don Keith Opper – the guy with a gap in his front teeth who plays a clumsy drunk in all Critters movies. What is all...

Megaforce (1982)

MEGAFORCEEEEE! There are movies that are so bad that they are actually good. In the case of Megaforce, it would be better to say silly than bad: it’s so silly that it’s great. If you’ve seen Matt Stone’s Team America: World Police, Megaforce will seem quite familiar because it was a great inspiration for the...

Love in Limbo (1993)

While picking a movie I always try to give the unknown ones with trashy covers a chance. Especially the ones with the picture of a famous actor that I am able to recognise only after the third try. So I found a movie with a plot happening in the 50s and on the cover – the gladiator himself (Russel Crowe), who plays a nerdy...

Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988)

When I hear a title like this, that’s it, I’m done. So, let’s start… I will try to tell you a few things from the movie’s history that I managed to get. The movie was named after a graffiti that the writer/director saw while filming Roller Blade – a movie about deadly nuns with magic knives on roller blades,...
