THE LAST STAND Review By: RAMA Let see if RAMA thought the film was worth the wait. Let us all say welcome back to Arnold and his cheesy one liners. How we missed them! THE LAST STAND reminds us that even though Arnold Schwarzenegger may have failed as both a governor and a husband, .. he’s still got it as an action star. Yes, THE LAST STAND is hilariously bad and at the end it would make you wonder ‘who wrote this piece of crap’ but let’s face it, this is basically, more or less, the same type of action films that we grew up watching Arnold in, where he’d always have the last word after he kills the baddies. So again, welcome back, Arnold!.. After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens ( Schwarzenegger ) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction.

Crawlspace  Review By: MattInRC The low-budget Crawlspace doesn't look like it, delivering a decent horror flick experience. At SJF, we've reviewed plenty of low-budget horror tripe. On the surface, Crawlspace appeared to be yet another of these throw-away flicks; we're inclined to let it sit a moment longer than the others we've merely tossed into the abyss. When a top-secret medical lab in Australia comes under attack from an unknown force, an elite squad of soldiers is tasked with rescuing the science team. What the soldiers do not know is that problem at Pine Gap is not some alien creature but a human experiment gone wrong in the form of Eve ( Amber Clayton ). Having endured a tricky surgery by merging an alien brain with her own, Eve has developed enormous mental powers beyond her own simple telekinesis. Eve awakens frightened and unable to remember who she is, but possessing the charming scars of her recent experience. The strike team sent to deal
