The Invisible Raptor (2023)

Some titles tell you exactly what you're going to get. How do you make a dinosaur movie without the budget of Spielberg? Say it's invisible and let the power of suggestion do the rest. This is such a fucking stupid movie, yet I was riveted throughout, which probably says a lot about my mental state. It's always nice when the filmmakers and the audience are on the same page.

CHILLERAMA [2011]

Chillerama is a horror/comedy anthology centered about a drive-in theater showing a series of monster b-movies in it's final night of business.
It centers around director Joe Lynch's Zom-B-Movie that features some of the most hilarious penis-chomping, cum guzzling zombie kills I've seen in awhile.  While Adam Green's gut-wrenchingly funny The Diary Of Anne Frankenstein pushes the boundaries of good taste right off a cliff.  However it's Tim Sullivan's homosexual lycanthropes in I Was A Teenage Werebear and Adam Rifkin's murderous sperm in Wadzilla that lessens the fun by being just plain bad no matter how wild the imagination is.

THE MAN FROM EARTH [2007]

From the late Jerome Bixby, one of  the writers of the original Star Trek series, comes this fascinating story about a man who's lived for 14,000 years.

It's slow-paced, low budget and set all in one place, so don't expect any giant robot fights or any slo-mo boob shots here.  It challenges your beliefs, spirituality and will to keep an open-mind, which has led to some angry backlashes from the people this film's message was directed towards.

It's not for everybody but if you're in the mood for the thinking man's sci-fi then I'd safely recommend this.
