Feature Length films produced by big studios are the main stay of modern Hollywood. These are their reviews. *Dun Dun*
This is the first review from SquidFlicks author Stephanie Sikes!

Allegations of stolen routines and fights between the two schools leads to their face-off for the cheer championship.

Intro:
Blood Diner is a weird horror/comedy that focuses on two brothers, Micheal Tutman (Rick Burns), George Tutman (Carl Crew), and their wacky, serial killer uncle, Anwar Tutman (Drew Goggars). (Who is, as I should also add, just a brain with eyes in a jar.)
Intro:
All of our families have secrets. Like a child with an illness or disorder. For some reason, one member is embarrassed of it, and doesn’t even want them in their sights. I find that pretty low, and lousy ya know? If my son ever had an illness or deformity I wouldn’t shun him away, I’d embrace him like the family he is to me, not like the dad did in the 1982 release of Frank Henenlotter’s “Basket Case.”
Intro:
Adam Sandler is funny. Granted, we all know this, and I’m sure most people have seen at least one of his movies. Bedtime Stories, however, is a bit different from his other films, in that it’s a children’s movie. It’s also Sandler’s first movie with Walt Disney Co.
Intro:
If you know me at all by now, you KNOW i’m a sucker for anthology films. Through the good and the bad, the thick and the thin, i’m always up for a compilation of stories. I’ve seen TONS but there are still many i have yet to see. However one of my favorites, “The Vault of Horror” has seemed to be remade, or at least in my eyes, in the 2006 release of “Trapped Ashes.”

Tag Line: Are you eating it… or is it eating you?
Intro:
The film I have reviewed is one of my favorites from my youth. This is a super fun movie for fans of 80’s camp and cheese, and can even be considered a cult favorite by some.
Sure, this movie maybe doesn’t stand up as well as some movies from the 80’s, and the effects are a little dated, but I still feel that this movie delivers on many levels and is a must see for all horror fans and fans of the 80’s cheese flick.
Intro:
After spending several months on the island of Madagascar, the wild gang of animals plan their return trip to New York. After a short trip on their badly-repaired airplane, they land in Africa. Alex (Ben Stiller) meets his long lost father, and the others fit right in with their respective groups. All seems well until the four realize that they need each other more than they ever realized.
Guest Reviewer Brandon Carter submitted his take on the box office power and current hit Twilight. Thanks for the submission Brandon!
I went into this movie with huge expectations. As a fan of the Twilight series, I had read in numerous reviews that it was very true to the books, and that that was a defining part of the movie. Unfortunately, that didn’t prove very true.
In fact, I found the accuracy compared to the book was unparalleled in disaster. Even the Harry Potter movies aren’t this bad. Fabricated events don’t happen in HP, and neither does the changing of character’s personalities.
Intro:
“I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley!”
A tainted airline meal sends the entire crew of a dysfunctional passenger jet and threatens to send the entire plane to a fiery doom. It’s up to one man and a doctor on board to save the plane and everyone’s lives. It won’t happen before some interesting events, such as a fight with the autopilot.
Intro:
While growing up some of your best memories can come from hanging out with your friends over the summers. Wither it be going on dangerous, exciting adventures in your backyard, to playing Marco Polo at the local city swimming pool. You can grow and break friendships over the course of one summer, some of your childhood friends will stay with you throughout high school and beyond, while others you will part ways with and who will become only faces you see, but the times you spend together will stay with you, like the boys in the 1986 release of Rob Reiner’s “Stand By Me.”
