    Early Roger Corman sci-fi effort, a post apocalyptic tale about a group of survivors from an atomic war, who are trying to live in a house protected by some lead filled mountains. Unfortunately one dude in the group is a total scumbag and also they have to beware of radioactive mutated creatures stalking them.

    One of those rare remakes that manages, in some ways, to best it's original. This movie should be mentioned in the same breath as "The Thing" and the "The Fly" more often than it is. It's a great horror movie with fantastic creature effects and some wonderfully gruesome deaths.

    One of the lesser SNL TV Funhouse cartoons, this one is a fake trailer for a cute and fun Disney animated film take on the Titanic disaster. While I like the concept, as in the 90s Disney had taken tragic novels like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and turned them into fun and colorful adventures for kids...this just isn't that funny to me.
