Decker Shado Movie Reviews

Buy The Foreigner on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wzCn5x Yes, the DVD finally arrived. No, it wasn't worth the wait. Yes, I realize it was only a one week wait. The Foreigner, with Steven Seagal, pits the man against various mercenaries all hired to get a package. Of course, they were all hired by the same people so.. shouldn't they be on the same page? Oh, and this is the movie of which Black Dawn is a sequel. Does that explain things any better? Spoiler alert: Nope! My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Against the Dark on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wzlYOP Who says you can't have horror in a summer series? And who thought that inserting Steven Seagal into a zombie apocalypse was a remotely good idea?! Against the Dark pits Seagal against a world of vampires. Vampires that happen to not think, and eat flesh... so zombies. But they call them vampires. Usually. My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Under Seige in a triple-pack on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wnNcN9 Things were supposed to go happy and smooth up in Minnesota, but noooo.. James had to bring up Under Siege, starring Steven Seagal. Apparently there is a rule that you don't know anything about Seagal until you've watched this movie. I don't know who wrote it, but I think it's a pretty silly rule. Nevertheless, I've watched it now, so what do I think? It's a Seagal movie. My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

So how did the holiday season treat all the new consoles? I don't know. I don't have any numbers. But what I do have is unsubstantiated claims! Yay! Check out my latest videos at http://blip.tv/decker-shado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Under Siege 2 in a triple-pack on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wnNcN9 THE FINAL WEEK OF THE SUMMER OF STEVEN SEAGAL IS HERE! Yes, it was worth having that in full caps. Today, we take a look at the sequel to Seagal's best work, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Effectively Under Siege on land, Under Siege 2 makes a lot of the same mistakes many sequels do. However.. in an action movie, does that matter quite so much? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Executive Decision on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xJIae1 To cleanse my soul of the Summer of Seagal, I've decided to review an action movie starring an actor I like, Kurt Russell in Executive Decision. Set in the highly unlikely scenario of middle eastern terrorists hijacking an airplane to use as a weapon of war against the US, Kurt is an intelligence officer who somehow ends up on the same airplane, along with an antiterrorism squad. It's not so easy though, as they have to wait for the perfect time to strike... for.. over 2 hours... My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Night of the Blood Beast on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xdsfmI A Roger Corman production from 1958, Night of the Blood Beast is a classic in B movies. Not so much for being a diamond in the rough, or even a competent attempt at filmmaking, but it's infamous reputation as a horrifying low budget train wreck. However, does this do it justice, or is there really more to see here? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy the Gamera Collection Volume 1 on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xqy5lp The Gamera Marathon has begun! Taking a look at the film that started it all... or at least the dubbed, re-shot, re-edited American release of it, Gammera: The Invincible. No, that's not a typo. That's actually how it's spelled in this version. My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy the Gamera Collection Volume 1 on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xqy5lp Also known as Gamera vs Gaos, and Return of the Giant Monsters, Gamera vs Gyaos introduces us to what ends up becoming Gamera's most noteworthy villain. As this is the first Gamera film I've reviewed since the original to spawn a legacy, is that justified? Or were the creators just that pleased with making their own Rodan to care at this point? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy the Gamera Collection Volume 1 on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xqy5lp Also known as Destroy all Planets, Gamera vs Viras shows that as early as the 4th movie of the original 8 film Gamera series, they were already running out of ideas. Seemingly taking several pages from the Godzilla film Destroy all Monsters plotwise, what the budget didn't allow the producers to fill in they simply made up for with liberal use of stock footage. This amounts to quite a strange feature... but is there a silver lining to this cloud? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Watch the full movie here: http://fullmoonstreaming.com/movie/doll-graveyard-movie_doll-graveyard-movie Buy Doll Graveyard on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2yilQ88 Another killer doll movie by the grandmaster of schlock, Charles Band, Doll Graveyard is an hour long tale about a small group of dolls attacking a small group of teenagers who happen to be drinking, doing drugs and having sex. It's not exactly an original idea, you could say... but it's not like Charles Band and Full Moon have no experience with deadly dolls, after the Puppet Master and Demonic Toys series. However.. that doesn't mean that this is automatically good either... My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy The Typing of the Dead Overkill for Steam on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2yhJLVr Released October 29th 2013, The Typing of the Dead: Overkill changes The House of the Dead: Overkill into an ultraviolent educational typing tutor. While this may seem odd, Sega's first foray into this territory was 14 years ago with the original Typing of the Dead game. After such a hiatus from Mario Teaches Zombie Survival, how does the latest entry in the series fare? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Equilibrium on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2yhYyPO A Christian Bale movie that has graced many a bargain bin DVD rack, Equilibrium was an attempt by Miramax to capitalize on the success of The Matrix with their own dystopian future science fiction action movie. However, due to it's amazing run in Europe, they decided to do the American release as cheaply as possible to ensure they won't lose that profit. With a 20 million dollar budget, it's not the most flashy science fiction film of the decade, but how does it use it's assets? And by the way.. just what is the story anyhow?

Buy Horror Express on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xIGQqT A classic from 1972, Horror Express paired Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing on the trans-siberian railway with a frozen killer. Or a fossil, can't quite tell with the presentation.. but it's evil! Or extra-terrestrial. Wait, what? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Gut on Amazon Video via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xdMAsb A very low budget film released to 30 film festivals in 2012, Gut is the story of two friends who have drifted apart in adulthood, but begin spending time together when one of them acquires a series of snuff films. However, things escalate quickly as it turns out the videos look so real for good reason... Being so low budget, will this turn out just about as well as any movie I've reviewed that turned out to be from a film festival - or will I finally be pleasantly surprised? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy War of the Worlds 2 on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2x9Bin8 Oh boy, another Asylum film. This is not the original Asylum War of the Worlds movie that put them on the map, but the sequel. ...so another result of their success, designed to go forth and spread pain and misery while reaping money for the studio. Or something like that anyway. Oh, this is a review, right? You want to hear about how good the movie is, don't you? ...you've never seen an Asylum film before, have you? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Nature Unleashed: Avalanche on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2x99leV As part of the Nature Unleashed Series by Nu Image films, Avalanche is a generic action movie... where the main threat is an avalanche! What a kicker, am I right? There really isn't much more to say about the plot structure in this film, the characters are basic and the setting doesn't exist in reality.. it was just made up to fit the plot. Much like the behavior of avalanches. However, do they at least eke out a good movie in all this mess? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy The Children on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2ftNSpu A 2008 Christmastime horror movie, The Children is what you would expect. A tale of murderous things noted by what follows "The" in the title. Yes, that's right - killer children! This concept sounds like it would be stupid camp, but actually this English film plays the concept a lot more seriously than that. However, does it succeed in that regard? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Dungeons & Dragons in a 2 movie collection on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2fuvRr0 The 2000 movie of the classic tabletop RPG, Dungeons and Dragons disappointed the world when it first arrived. Years later, it's still remembered as one of the worst movies ever made, having been nominated for 11 Stinker's Bad Movie Awards. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if there's anything DnD has taught me, it's that beholders have dozens of eyes. And they will kill you. So what do I think of this little romp through fantasy role playing with Justin Whalin and Marlon Wayans? My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado

Buy Deranged on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2y9vyJs Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado The 1974 film adaptation of the crimes of Ed Gein, not necessarily made as a movie inspired from them like Psycho or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but actually attempting to be an accurate depiction of the real events. And it was the most accurate movie up until the 2010 Ed Gein film, so why is it likely the only movie I've brought up in this writeup you haven't heard of, even if you've seen the others? Let's find out, shall we?

Buy Dragonquest in a 2 movie pack on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xsvgQu Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado It figures. Of all the media out there called DragonQuest, I get the one made by The Asylum. Yep, so to answer your question it's a rip-off of Eragon. No, actually that doesn't spoil the movie. However, the title DragonQuest pretty well does. There's not much going on in it. However, does it have some redeeming qualities?

Buy Deadfall Trail on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xL2o74 Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado When two indie filmmakers were raising funds to make a movie and only got about 100k to work with, instead of forcing a high budget idea out in low budget form they instead made an entirely new idea with those funds in mind. This is how Deadfall Trail came to be, a movie that is nothing but woodlands and three guys out on a survival kick. While certainly we'd expect the actors and locations to be few... what about the plot? The motivations? Are these as important to a film, or can we accept them missing in action as well?

Buy the "Gamera Trilogy" pack on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wp5xcC Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado It's time for Revenge of Gamera-Thon! With Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, the 1995 reboot of the classic Kaiju icon. This film set to rebuild the creature to be very different from the fun little turtle that raced kids in submarines, turning him into a total badass monster killer designed to be a 200 foot tall walking weapon of the ancients. How much does this change effect Gamera overall, as a character and as a series? Only one way to find out!

Buy Monkeybone on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xM6T1o Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado The lost episode from October 2013, finally available to the public due to various threats Creepy has made to Decker's safety! Here we take a look at Monkeybone, a film adaptation of Dark Town that went through one hell of a rewrite during production and somehow ended up starring Brendan Fraiser. Really?

Buy the "Gamera Trilogy" pack on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wp5xcC Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado Also known as Attack of the Legion, Gamera 2 is the tenth Gamera movie, and the second of the Heisei era films. While the first was near perfect, it was flawed in that the human characters were so insignificant they seemed pointless. However, Gamera 2 solves that issue by making the human characters so effective and important, it's now Gamera that seems unnecessary. So how does this entry to the Kaiju genre fare?

Buy the "Gamera Trilogy" pack on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wp5xcC Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado The third and final film in the Heisei Gamera series, Revenge of Iris came three years after the second, which is an unusually long time for a Kaiju series. This film has many returning actors from the first, and a big boost to the quality of the special effects. The second film is only briefly mentioned in this however.. and how exactly does this film handle the balance between making the human characters useful, but keeping the monsters strong enough to be a threat and ensure Gamera is useful? Only one way to see...

Buy Gamera the Brave on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2xfWrh2 Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado The finale of Revenge of Gamerathon is finally here, with a review of Gamera the Brave! This 2006 reinvention of the iconic Kaiju sought to recapture the glory days of Gamera movies being heavily geared towards younger audiences. As such, it was directed by Ryuta Tazaki, known for his work on Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, and the live action series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. This Gamera movie obviously is a lot more light-hearted, with intentionally over the top acting from the human characters with questionable motives... and is not praised very much by the legions of Gamera fans, especially those fond of the Heisei series. However.. just how good is it? Or.. isn't it? - clarification: In the credits, Gamera the Brave is listed as owned by Toho. It was actually owned and distributed by Kadokawa Pictures.

Buy Hard Target on Amazon via my referral link: http://amzn.to/2wBt05i Help support my channel at http://www.patreon.com/DeckerShado My facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeckerShado The first John Woo film produced in Hollywood, Hard Target starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lance Henrickson was an interesting first impression. It had brilliant direction by Woo, despite the fact that he couldn't get Van Damme to listen to him on set. Rumors abound to this day that the movie was supposed to be much longer and delve into Henrickson's character, and it had to be re-edited several times due to excessive violence pushing it beyond an R rating. After so much done against the director's vision... how does it stand up?
