BMFcast 583 – Spiders – Gen-X-Files

Spiders (2000) has Lana Parrilla as a conspiracy theory obsessed reporter who investigates a space shuttle crash that may contain government-mutated spiders. Spoiler: it does! Of course, low-budget hijinks ensue. Sure, it feels like a Sci Fi Channel X-Files knockoff, but can a third act that goes PLACES push this into the upper tier of Jox-worthy movies?

BMFcast Extra 211 – Disturbia

Disturbia (2007) was chosen because we’ve become big fans of writer-director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) of late. He co-wrote this teenage Rear Window that is very indicative of the time in which it was released.

BMFcast 570 – All About the Benjamins – Flanagoons

All About The Benjamins (2002) brings Blaxploitation History Month into a new century. Ice Cube is a bounty hunter tracking down Mike Epps, but they both get tangled up with murderous diamond thieves, including a very angry Tommy Flanagan. There’s also a $60 million winning lottery ticket, Eva Mendes, and lots and lots of boats. Does this all add up to a winning formula? Side note: We know it’s “For The Love of Money” by the O’Jays. You can stop yelling at your relevant podcast device now.

BMFcast 567 – Ninja – Solid Snake Eyes

Ninja (2009) concludes NINJANUARY, as Scott Adkins plays Casey, an American orphan trained in the ways of the ninja. His biggest rival is kicked out of the dojo and becomes the world’s deadliest assassin. What happens when they both clash over the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, a chest full of powerful ninja stuff? Spoiler: it involves a lot of jump kicks, katanas and CG blood. Does this movie jump to the top of our ninja list or die dishonorably?

BMFcast Extra 198 – Resident Evil Apocalypse

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) is the second entry in the franchise and there’s so much baffling stuff in it that it broke our brains, rendering us nearly incapable of recapping it properly. But we try.

BMFcast Extra 196 – Dracula 2000

Dracula 2000 (2000) Presented by Virgin Megastore features a solid cast from this era including Gerard Butler as Dracula. But wow, does this era of movies (especially horror ones from Dimension) not hold up. A Real Stinker 2000.

BMFcast Extra 194 – Resident Evil

Resident Evil (2002) features some proper nouns you might recognize from the popular video game series but otherwise has very little to do with those games. It does have a lot of crunchy guitars and baffling character choices however.

BMFcast526 – Fortress 2 Re-Entry – Stanley Fortress Twochi

Fortress 2: Re-Entry (2000) is an unnecessary sequel to the rather terrific 1992 film. Not that a sequel is a bad idea or anything, but if you’re not going to go bigger and better then what are you even doing? Anyway, the Men-Tel Corporation (run by Pam Grier) captures Christopher Lambert again and sends him to space jail.

BMFcast519 – Redemption – White Tara, Heroine

Redemption (2002) features a bunch of our favorite direct to video action stars (Don “The Dragon” Wilson, Cynthia Rothrock, etc.) not doing any of the things anyone want them to do. This is a cop drama about a good cop gone sorta bad but then there’s a… redemption. Things that actually would have redeemed the film never happen.

BMFcast Extra 178 – Hitman

Hitman (2007) sucks. That’s it. That’s the description.
