Poop grenade.


The Island Of Dr. Moreau (1996)

Val Kilmer again!
And, quite possibly Marlon Brando's most....eccentric performance.

The first of a Stan Winston H.G. Wells trilogy.


The Relic (1997)

A big old sloppy gangbang frappe of every monster in the shadows movie.
Except this time, in a museum.

Leonard Maltin gave it an "ehhh".


The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

See here.

Another Oscar Nomination.


Small Soldiers (1998)

Instinct (1999)

Very loosely based on the book, "Ishmael", which was a bunch of blithering pretentious radical environmentalist twaddle that critics adored.

The film was less well received.
To put it mildly.

Part 2 of the Stan Winston H.G. Wells trilogy.


Darkness Falls (2003)

A killer Tooth Fairy.
Yeah, you heard me.

The title makes me think of the Killswitch Engage song.
I just can't help it.

Wrong Turn (2003)

Mediocrity followed by 4 crummy sequels.


Constantine (2005)

Impossible not to retread old ground.

Tomorrow, to wrap up this makeup artist trilogy, Robert Kurtzman.
