Best of the Rest

In 1998 Deep Rising was lost in the box office wake of a different movie about a large sinking ship, but this week we're revisiting this forgotten adventure and celebrating everything it does well. And from the deep cast to the stellar visual effects, there's a lot worth celebrating!

Just a few years after the massive success of Jurassic Park, another Michael Crichton sci-fi disaster novel was adapted. Unfortunately, the legacy of Sphere is far inferior to the dinosaur movie. But this week we're celebrating the mostly forgotten underwater thriller, with its great cast and thrilling and creative use of the unknown and the unseen.

The massively popular video game series finally got its very faithful movie adaptation in 2016. Unfortunately for the fans, the movie failed to bring in enough at the box office to greenlight a sequel. This week we revisit this one off effort and determine what it got right! We also ponder the finer differences between orcs and ogres.

While not too technically impressive by today's standards, the photorealistic animation in FINAL FANTASY was groundbreaking in 2001. Despite praise for its visuals, the movie failed to find its audience, even among fans of the video game franchise. This week we revisit the film to find everything it does right, and see what managed to age well.

At the peak of their popularity, The Monkees released their only feature film. Virtually no one saw it. Perhaps it was because the movie was a deliberate subversion of their popular show, or maybe it was due to a bizarre marketing strategy, but this week all we care about is what the movie did well. Hey hey, it's the Hashtag PP.

Following the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, the MCU began to go through some growing pains, with audiences and critics beginning to feel the quality wasn't consistent as it once was, and that there was perhaps too much content to keep up with. The Marvels found itself in the crosshairs of these issues and more, resulting in a lackluster box office return. But this week we take a second look at everything this movie does well!

The Day The Earth Stood Still is a bonafide classic of the sci-fi genre, so there was understandably much hesitation from movie buffs when it was announced there would be a remake in 2008 starring Keanu Reeves. Although a moderate financial success, the new version did not win over critics or supplant the original in many people's eyes. This week we take a second look to find what this reboot got right!

One of Capcom's biggest franchises got its own big screen adaptation in 2002 with Resident Evil, directed by the same man that brought us Mortal Kombat in 1995: Paul W. S. Anderson. Critics were not kind, as is the case with most video game movies, but the movie found its audience and spawned numerous sequels. 

One of us loves the RE games, the other has never picked one up. Will this affect our enjoyment of Milla Jovovich? Unlikely.

Is the world ready for another Shane Black movie? We investigate all of these questions and more.

But in between Toy Story 1 and 2, Small Soldiers hit the big screen with a PG-13 attitude.
