Con Express (2002)
Pretty good for an Action B-Movie
Con Express is a second rate action movie with first rate directon, acting and an effective score.
I 1st saw a screening of it at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuk, Michigan and then recently on it's DVD. This movie also has a good sense of humor and doesn't take itself too seriously. The direction of Terry Cunnigham is rather innovative considering the productions budgetary limitations. Sean Patrick Flanery is great and I've been a fan of his ever sine The Boondock Saints. And Arnold Vosloo is the villian. (That's right the Mummy from The Mummy, and also the much better Hard Target, directed by action-master John Woo) He's the world's most dangerous terrorist and he's just stolen some barrels of the deadly Saran gas. Flanery plays Alex Brooks a post Sept. 11th Alaskan Customs agent who catches Simconov (Vosloo) and confiscates the barrels of Saran. Brooks is accompanied by a female agent named Natalya (Ursula Karven) who is after Simconov for revenge after he bombed a federal building with her son inside. They get on a plane with Simconov in custody, but it isn't long before everything goes wrong. Simconov parachutes out of the plane and then it crashes. The only survivors are Brooks and Natalya. It's up to them to stop Simconov from retrieving the barrels of Saran, which are on a train guarded with Marines heading through the Canadian wilderness.
Lots of action, plenty of smiles and an overall worthwhile watch.
(Also B-Movie veteran Tim Thomerson of Trancers fame plays Brooks superior.)
Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation (2001)
A piece of crap and a waste of 58 min.
Boogeymen is nothing more than an over-marketed informational piece of nonsense. And not even a good piece of informative garbage. It reveals nothing about any of the proclaimed "Boogeymen" that isn't already obvious. Example: Freddy Krueger - Stalks his victims in their dreams. Wears a glove with knives for fingers. Or; Chucky - A Killer Doll!!!
All Boogeymen is is a poorly construed mish-mash of clips from various horror movies. Even most of the clips were a disapointment. Bottom line: Don't waste your time, go and rent the real thing.
Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993)
Thomerson great as usual but evil baby doll steals the show
A couple of laughs, mainly due to the evil baby doll and his vulgar one-liners and even Dollman himself (Thomerson) gets in on the laughs. It's Halloween night and the Dolls are trying to use the 1 ft. tall Ginger as a host for Satan to be reborn through. It's up to Brick Bardo, aka Dollman, to save her and kill the Demonic Toys.
A horrible mess of a script, crappy acting (excluding the always great Thomerson) and garbage miniature effects.
And at just over an hour in length where the best scene has an evil foul-mouthed Baby Doll tries to have sex with the foot tall Ginger while he makes Dollman watch, it just really makes you wonder what the point to this whole mess of nonsesne even was.
