Ninja III: The Domination

Don't ask why Ninja III: The Domination begins with a ninja assault on a municipal golf course. Just be grateful it does. You also may wonder why its sex scene employs a can of V8: Don't question it. Just lie back and enjoy it.

Lifeforce

Tobe Hooper got a raw deal. The director of horror hits The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Poltergeist didn't deserve to be sent to movie jail for 1985's Lifeforce. It's a well-crafted, well-intentioned work that was mismarketed and misunderstood, losing a bundle of money and soon sending Hooper into the lands of episodic television and direct-to-video features.

Dead Souls

With Dead Souls, we can prove something about the Chiller cable network's original features that Remains could not: Source material is not to blame for their pervasive generic nature — it's the economy, stupid.

The Philadelphia Experiment

There's a theory about remakes that perhaps Hollywood should stop remaking good movies and instead remake the bad ones, so that they may be improved. The problem with that theory is one runs the risk of the remake being bad, too. Case in point: The Philadelphia Experiment.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

A few surprising things about Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters:
• It comes from MTV Films,
• is produced by Will Ferrell,
• and is as fun as its title is dumb.

A wheelie good exhibit


Where we’re going, we don’t need roads — er, except I-35.

By Rod Lott September 12th, 2011

The DeLorean. The Deathmobile. The Batmobile. 

What do they have in common? One, you can’t afford them. Two, they’re among the famous cars of the movies and the tube showcased in a new exhibit starting Sept. 24 at the Toy & Action Figure Museum in Pauls Valley. The toys of such recognizable vehicles comprise “Hollywood Toy Cars,” which runs through Oct. 21.

If you’ve never been, you should, and this gives you as good of an excuse as any. Need another? Sept. 17-18 is “Star Wars Weekend.”
