Remake Escape from New York? Are you nuts? That seems to be the consensus from Cinemablend, and IGN doesn’t seem to think it makes much sense, either. Since the aborted Gerard Butler (really? Really?) vehicle that hit the rocks in 2007 the option has been picked up by Joel Silver and Silver Pictures (with Studio Canal). Deadline says that the plan is to make it into a trilogy (hey, if you’re going to

Movies / Island of Misfit Films: The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)
Playing anthropologist on the Island of Misfit Films comes with certain risks attached. There are a lot of bad films out there. Some of them are so bad, they’re good, but most are so bad that they will leave you cursing the day you spent time and money chasing them down to document their strange and forbidden customs. The Giant Spider Invasion is a film toeing the line between “too bad to be good”
Movies / Island of Misfit Films: 2010 (1984)
Someone is going to take issue with me featuring 2010 as a resident of the Island of Misfit Films. There are good reasons to protest.

Movies / Island of Misfit Films: Lifeforce (1985)
Welcome to the first post in our all new Foes of Reality Island of Misfit Films review series. It is no secret that science fiction has a rich story-telling history in film, ranging from the ripping adventures of Star Wars through the visionary futurism of Blade Runner to the mind-bending paranoia and psychedelia of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The genre is equally well known for its cult classics, oddities, and clunkers. These misfits
