JABOOTU the bad movie dimension

I picked this movie up for two reasons: the title and the name Richard Grieco. Grieco’s brief and decidedly non-illustrious career has [...]

In the course of searching for prospective article-fodder, I will occasionally come across films which, while they couldn’t sustain a full-fledged review (20,000 + words), nevertheless contain certain scenes or elements positively begging to be ridiculed. One such film is Project Shadowchaser 3000.
Apart from the generous portions of Bad Science and internal continuity errors (which [...]

Editorial Note: I just want to take the blame for the grainy photos that accompany this finely wrought article. Unfortunately, the film is often shot in a darkly lit manner, and I couldn’t get good screen captures. This is solely my fault, as is the poor ‘pacing’ of the stills, and Jason should not be [...]

Although we can be pretty cutting here, I think it’s pretty clear that we’re not snobs. We don’t demand that every movie be Casablanca. Ken owns a copy of all the flicks he’s reviewed for Jabootu. He actually owns a copy of Can’t Stop the Music! That must put him in a very exclusive club. [...]

How did this movie get made?
It’s a question with many different answers, depending on the movie. Jurassic Park 3 was made because someone thought another sequel capitalizing on the (admittedly successful) rampaging-dino franchise would be a good idea. And yes, I’m going to go see it, because I like dinosaurs, and I like Sam Neill [...]

Let me begin by tipping my hat to Ms. Lianna Skywalker (if that is her real name). Ms. Skywalker wrote me back in July of this year, asking if I was planning to review what was the most universally shellacked movie of the last ten years. That being, of course, our current subject. Much [...]

“Ah, distinctly I remember,
I was watching Sweet November,
Which did logic so dismember
that my jaw dropped ‘pon the floor.
I saw Keanu, he kept “Whoa-ing,”
while the film did keep on blowing,
And my boredom kept on growing,
growing vast and deep and sure.
‘Spite the rare and radiant Theron,
yet still was I certain sure,
That I’d re-watch it nevermore.”

Question: Why [...]

Plot: Super-Marine Dolph Lundgren is the World’s Last Hope against a horrible biological weapon. By which I don’t mean Dolph Lundgren.
There’s a film production company named Phoenician Entertainment that basically functions as a modern analog to Roger Corman. Final Voyage was one of theirs. They stitch together massively and often surreally derivative action movies as [...]

Author’s Note: Readers will note that, while at least one of the stills accompanying this article features ladies in their undies, my review details instead a copious amount of nudity.
Given that this is a family site, I obviously would not include screen captures of this nature. And so hats off to the good folks [...]
