Well, this hasn’t been a great series, but it’s had fun moments, and the last movie was actually good, so I am ready to start this next one, which I think is the beginning of a three-part arc. Milestone: I watched the clip-show movie that’s about three posts in our future, but this is the first Puppet Master movie I haven’t seen since beginning ( Read more... )

I have learned that there are sixteen of these movies. I had thought maybe twelve. But then I remembered the next one is this crossover movie starring Corey Feldman as a daffy mad scientist, and even though I have never seen a Demonic Toys movie and don’t want to, I remember this one being pretty good.

( Please hold up… )

Okay, team, part seven was not as bad as I’d remembered, and I actually finished it this time, so maybe this next chapter will work. But I think it’s the one that’s just clips of the other movies. Not the one that Brockton McKinney and Jason Strutz did the framing sequence for, that one had at least those guys going for it. I think this one is just ( Read more... )

Finally here! Despite a little stumble in last couple chapters, this has been a fun ride, and I’m excited for a time-travel romp in this last chapter…

It’s been a few years since I was on my project to recap Full Moon’s Puppet Master series, and the main reason is that this seventh entry has broken me twice, beloved readers.

Oh, gosh, the last three of these have been uncontested delights, let’s go back for round four!

( So excited! )

Sharknado was a hoot, and Sharknado 2 was a nuclear delight, so Avid Bruxist and I got together to jump into part 3 with high expectations.

( Let’s go! )

After ten years, I’m back to this franchise with dear blogger Avid Bruxist!

( Back into the storm! )

I thought I was done with these children. A wonderful Stephen King short story, a decent film adaptation, eight sequels, and a remake, with a loose structure of kids in the Heartland joining a cult to worship ill-defined He Who Walks Behind The Rows and killing anyone they deem too old - all behind me now. As a franchise goes, you could do worse. ( Read more... )
