I'm not sure how I went 20 years without seeing this one. I only thought to watch it now because I just found out it was (co-)written by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Last Boyscout, Lethal Weapon). It seems like just the kind of thing I would have loved as a kid. As...( read more)

Eugene: Creature stole my Twinkie!
Somehow I missed this movie as a child, but its quite enjoyable. A mix of the Goonies with the old Hammer Horror features. It has a mix of 80s cheese, some clever screenplay moments, decent effects for the type of movie this is, and a non-ser...( read more) -

Monster Squad is one of my favorite childhood movies. I'm so glad that I finally found it on DVD. It is about a small town that is the battleground for a team of monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein, Gill Man (Creature from the Black Lagoon, NOT the Loch Ness Monster), Wolfman, and th...( read more)

Cult classic B-movie about a group of young kids intent on saving the world from well known monsters such as a convincingly evil Dracula and the wolf man, amongst others. Loved it as a child and even to this day. It has lasting qualities that have stayed with me.

August 17, 2008You know, the Goonies was good as is. They really didn't have to make it again.
