Young Billy's parents split up, and Billy (Peter Billingsley) goes on vacation to his mom Sally (Catherine Hicks), who lives in Arizona. Billy isn't too fond of her new boyfriend, Mike, who takes them on a road trip through Death Valley. Whilst exploring, Billy stumbles upon an RV, where minutes before brutal murders took place. Unaware of this, Billy finds a gold frog medallion, and is interrupted by Mike just before opening a door to where the bodies are.

When at a restaurant, Billy notices the waiter Hal wearing the same medallion, and Hal notices the pendant in Billy's hands, immediately setting up Hal as a suspect. Later, the same RV is found wrecked, with the police investigating. Billy tells the Sheriff (Wilford Brimley) about his find, and that Hal was wearing the same pendant.

When the Sheriff investigates, Hal realizes Billy was responsible for the information, and now he is after Billy. Filled with suspense, action and adventure, 'Death Valley' was a nice surprise in the 80's horror genre. The performances - especially Peter Billingsley - were very good and the film also dishes up a nail-biting climax and an interesting twist.

No, this Norwegian film is not about cannibals; it is about Roger Brown, who works as a headhunter. He is married to Diana and he is prepared to give her everything - except kids. In order to sustain his lavish lifestyle, he steals valuable paintings, replaces them with counterfeits, and sell the originals. (Off course, he told his wife he inherited a fortune, which pays for the opulence.)

Ove, who works for a security firm, is Roger's art theft partner. When Diana opens her art gallery, she introduces Roger to Clas Greve, who designs tracking technology. When she tells Roger he owns a very rare painting worth $100 million, Roger and Ove plans to steal it, but they are about to meet their match in Clas. The plot also thickens when Roger discovers Diana is having an affair with Clas.

Now on the run, things quickly spiral out of control for Roger, with Clas on his trail. The deeper Roger gets into trouble, the more interesting the film gets. This is a nail-biting thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed it.

I know this atrocious film has a big cult following, but by golly, this was bad! I'm not sure whether this is a very badly made film, or intentionally made to be bad, because I mean they are shamelessly bad! A Part of me would like to believe this was done on purpose. From the acting to the script and exaggerated sound effects, this is one of the most annoyingly bad B-movies I have ever seen. It's not even a good bad movie. It's just bad.

Ok, I've had my rant! What is this silly horror comedy about? Well, it is about a nerdy guy named Melvin, who is the mop boy at a gym. A Bunch of hunks always pick on him. When he flees from a prank and jumps through a second-story window, he lands in a barrel containing toxic waste, and is transformed into a hideous monster.

Now, he fights bad guys and rids the city's streets of the criminals. He becomes a local hero, and finds love in Sara, a blind woman. While this might not sound like a bad premise for a movie, it is just cringe-worthy bad! I should probably embrace the film for what it is - and what they have achieved - but I honestly found it almost unwatchable. At least the practical effects were not bad. Quite good, actually, and a few nice action sequences - which is as far as my compliments towards this film goes...
