Hack The Movies

Dragonheart (1996) was one of the first films to feature a fully CGI character acting alongside real humans. Voiced by Sean Connery and brought to life by ILM, Draco was a groundbreaking creation. Yet despite this technical achievement and four sequels, the movie is rarely discussed today. Angela joins me to explore what stopped Dragonheart from becoming a true classic 30 years later.https://youtu.be/lubpME_YxbUhttps://rumble.com/v7adw5m-does-anyone-remember-dragonheart-hack-the-movies-479.html

Here is an episode of Video Villa Entertainment I did with Logan for Stephen King's The Shining. The made-for-TV mini series that is very faithful to the book. Is it better or worse than Kubricks version? Listen and find out! https://youtu.be/eGR-lBb_jvM?si=0doK9PpqE3OQ8rMR

The time has come! Highlander is being remade and it seemed only right that we finally dive into the Highlander movies! I love this original film and have seen it countless times. Tom never watched it before we did this episode. Will we share the same opinion? Should there be only one Highlander movie? Let's find out!https://youtu.be/iwwcqAE4U0khttps://rumble.com/v7a5yr4-there-can-be-only-one-highlander-movie-hack-the-movies.html

Mortal Kombat II is finally here! I got Joey C and Gil in studio to talk about this highly anticipated sequel to a movie that wasn't very good. This time we have Johnny Cage, the tournament, and less Cole Young. Does that make the movie KOOL or KRAP? Watch and find out!https://youtu.be/T4_jgrnizqE?si=K3CXUjU5O3CMXuq4https://rumble.com/v79wucw-mortal-kombat-ii-kool-or-krap-hack-the-movies.html

Mortal Kombat II is dominating the box office and video game films and shows are probably more well received than they ever have been. So join Yoshi Vu and I as we watch probably the worst fighting game movie ever made. Enjoy this recently found lost episode from 2024 for King of Fighters!https://youtu.be/ox7xsulJ5nQhttps://rumble.com/v79ud4i-is-the-king-of-fighters-the-worst-fighting-game-movie-hack-the-movies.html

The Punisher is returning in a new Disney Plus special will also be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Gil and I already talked about the first Punisher movie and now we are back to talk about the last time he was on the big screen! Punisher War Zone is absolutely insane and has become a cult hit. Find out how nuts it is in this review!https://youtu.be/9wGWXaNMq-Yhttps://rumble.com/v79q6ta-punisher-war-zone-is-insane-hack-the-movies.html

It's going to be a busy year for The Punisher. He has a special coming out this month and will show up in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. I had Gil stop by to talk about his FIRST on screen appearance. The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren came out in 1989 and flew under most people's radars. Is it a cult classic? Is it terrible? Where is the skull logo? Find out in this video.https://youtu.be/_3HqIT04QPYhttps://rumble.com/v79ewxa-the-forgotten-1989-punisher-movie-dolph-lundgrens-brutal-cult-classic-hack-.html

Here is a review I did on Klayton's Dragon Curve channel for Prometheus. Felt fitting for Alien Day! https://youtu.be/3E6NEuTPS_s?si=ijqf4eUMDU-8tS_u

There is a new Michael Jackson biopic coming out. I thought this was a good reason to revisit his film Moonwalker! It tells the story of his life and includes real personal music videos about how he felt about fame. Then he turns into a robot and fights Joe Pesci for some reason. Enjoy!https://youtu.be/pJlB5i1UVdo https://rumble.com/v78t6oe-michael-jacksons-moonwalker-pure-musical-madness-hack-the-movies.html?e9s=src_v1_upp_f

Fall was a modest hit in 2022 but has since blown up on Netflix. So much so that it now has 2 sequels in development. Crystal joins me as we revisit this film to see why people love it.https://youtube.com/live/2bZQ736m30Ahttps://rumble.com/v78lxbo-fall-is-fantastic-hack-the-movies.html

I was interviewed by Cecil from The Horror Show Channel and it was a great time!https://youtu.be/AM7yjEmTup0?si=DShsTz1AVS_MiCgZ

There is a new Lanterns show coming out and another Green Lantern showed up in the latest Superman movie. It seems like the Green Lantern is coming back in a big way. In the '00s the Green Lantern comics were some of the best things DC was putting out. It only made sense they would give him is own movie. It is considered to be one of the worst and most mocked superhero films of all time. Frank joins me again to review this film which may or may not have gotten worse with time!https://youtu.be/wQRA_VyOUf0https://rumble.com/v78gt0o-has-green-lantern-2011-gotten-worse-over-time-hack-the-movies.html

Did you know Wes Craven directed a wild DC Comics movie back in 1982? And did you know the same producers behind this swampy cult classic were also deeply involved in making Tim Burton's Batman '89 possible?

The first Peter Medak movie I reviewed before Species II was The Changeling. Here is the Movie Dumpster episode I did where we all talked about this classic ghost story. https://youtu.be/W3p050y3LCk?si=cN3Eao1FRZDcFRKr

The first Species movie was our 400th episode. I thought it was time to team up with Lauren again to talk about Species II. The movie brought back some of the characters, had even crazier effects, and tells the story from a man's point of view. It is even directed by Peter Medak who did the Changeling which is one of my favorite ghost movies. What could go wrong? Turns out mostly everything!https://youtu.be/B5Pqnc3MTJchttps://rumble.com/v77upa2-is-species-ii-sexier-than-the-first-hack-the-movies.html

After we finished ranking all the Lake Placid movies I teamed up again with Johanna to do it again with Anaconda! There are three sequels and two recent reboots.

The Bride! is the the latest Frankenstein adaptation to hit the big screen. It has huge stars, a big budget, and Maggie Gyllenhaal directing. It also flopped hard and got terrible reviews. How bad was it really? Cayley joins more for this live episode where we will try to figure out the answer to that question!https://youtube.com/live/GNF91mJqcF0https://rumble.com/v77b5yo-how-bad-was-the-bride-hack-the-movies.html

You demanded it! I did a poll asking if you all wanted me to redo the Leprechaun reviews I did on Rental Reviews but over here in my format and you all said yes in a landslide. So I got the great Mike Leavy to join me to cover this classic. Mike is the producer of Terrifier 2 and 3, Screamboat, and the director of Stream. He also did the short fan film Leprechaun Revenge. Find out all about why we love this movie in this episode!https://youtu.be/vbEmI962r2Mhttps://rumble.com/v77828y-why-we-love-leprechaun-hack-the-movies.html

Manny Muskets joins me in studio to talk about of this classic slasher from the 90s. The original Candyman. Based on a short story by Clive Barker it stars Virginia Madsen and the late Tony Todd in a role that made him a horror icon. Manny had never seen it before so I thought it was perfect for Black History Month.https://youtu.be/-v5KwZftUaAhttps://rumble.com/v767gm6-candyman-is-a-classic-90s-slasher-hack-the-movies.html

Here is an episode of The Beautiful Dead Podcast I was on where we talked about Decadant Evil 1 & 2. These are unofficial spin-offs of the Subspecies franchise. They are absolutely terrible. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/cjnSoVmSMBo?si=Q-DSNYRzWMQLMxA4

It is finally time to talk about my favorite Christopher Walken movie! Joey C stops by to help me revisit this "theological thriller" from 1995. The movie is about a rogue angel name Gabriel looking for a soul to help him create a new heaven. He has to fight other angels, humans, and the literal devil himself. It's awesome!https://youtu.be/WIQTZyriJbchttps://rumble.com/v75v0jc-the-prophecy-1995-is-a-tense-theological-thriller-hack-the-movies.html

Cillian Murphy returned to horror at the end of the latest 28 Years Later, Rachel McAdams teamed up with another horror director in a movie about a plane, and we are getting a 6th sequel to Wes Craven's Scream. It seems like now is a good time to revisit Wes Craven's Red Eye which is exactly what me a Prison Mike Did!https://youtu.be/0SIDCA7HJLkhttps://rumble.com/v75jlu4-red-eye-is-wes-cravens-most-underrated-thriller-hack-the-movies.html

I decided I need more cat people in my life and revisited Stephen King's Sleepwalkers. Funny enough it's NOT based on a book he wrote. Its got crazy effects, wacky humor, and cameos from some of the biggest horror directors of all time! It seems to have faded into obscurity so it's up to Lena and I to bring it back by reviewing this hidden gem!https://youtu.be/kADhptttnCQhttps://rumble.com/v74kqwc-stephen-kings-sleepwalkers-the-hidden-gem-you-have-been-sleeping-on-hack-th.html
