You see what happens when you say you're a cult movies site? You leave the door wide open for all kinds of things to get in.
Little Monsters, one of the first movies that made me gag (I saw it when I was still just a tyke). Yet, strangely, glad to see it reviewed.

Geez, Justin, tell us how you really feel! Little Monsters is definitely one of those "who was this written for?" kind of movies. I think it was kind of sort of supposed to be for kids, but they put in some stuff to keep the adults entertained, and missed the mark by a long shot on both accounts. Also, you forgot to mention how in the end, they outrun the sun. I have no words to properly describe how much that bothers me.

Considering that you would have to be running at 900mph (at the equator, anyways), that's pretty damn good!

That reminds me: can you get me a full list? I'm kind of shooting in the dark here.

Wow, straight zeros on the Mutant Meter. Is that a first?

I believe I forgot to do the meter... ah well.

About all I know about Real Monsters is that it was one of my best friend's favorite movies growing up, and for years he tried to get me to watch it but we never got around to it. Sounds like I didn't miss much.
Mind you, this is also the guy who likes Howard the Duck in a completely unironic way.

For the record, I liked Little Monsters quite a bit. I also haven't seen it since 6th grade, but, dern it, it have nothing but good memories of it. I'll have to see if I can give it another watch.

This movie frightens me. I was too young for when it first came out. Sometimes, I regret not remembering the '80s, and then something like this comes along, or I see a fashion magazine from the era, and remember that apparently you were all high as kites. But you made some great comedy, so, props.
