Movie Reviews of Maximum Overdrive
Movie Review: Great Movie!! No Extras to Brag About!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie as a kid, and still love it now! Such a classic that deserves more extra junk than it's getting on the DVD treatment. I gotta admit, though: the new cover is an improvement over the abortion they used in the theaters and VHS cover, though I do miss the body hanging out of the grill as in an earlier version.
This was adapted and directd by my fave, Steve King. Though I'm not too crazy about the soundtrack (Who Made Who), the movie still holds up well today...despite it's cheese-factor.
Oh, and I loved the scene where the dork gets blasted in the eyes with gasoline, and then later gets his head squashed by the truck; dude should have stayed home that day!
Movie Review: The Dumbest Fun There Is
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has 2 plotlines in the begining they say the taale of a COMMET past the Earth Leaving the planet in its tale causing electronics to kill people , in the end it says that aliens came to earth , died and possesed the electronics .
But its better than other Stephen King Films like It(please tell me he wasnt A spider in the book) Christine(wtf)
The SHining remake(in the 1990s everyone forgot it) The Shining from 1980 is however my favorite movie. But this movie is realy good and fun the visuals earn it 1 point(on a scale of 1 to 10) and the soundtrack(Who Made Who-AC/DC) earns it 2(on a scale of 1 to 10) points I could give it alot for having AC/DC do the soundtrack , More movies need to have AC/DC
Movie Review: Crazy Trucks
Summary: 5 Stars
Who'd have thought a movie about killer trucks could be so great? I have loved Maximum Overdrive since I first saw it when I was a kid. All the blood and gore appealed to me, and the AC/DC soundtrack didn't hurt. I seem to watch Maximum Overdrive at least once a week, and it never gets old. A fantastic cast really does a great job with their characters and adds that something special to the movie. Of course anything based on some of Steven Kings work will be good, especially with the man himself directing and writing the short story it was based on as well as the script. Maximum Overdrive is a must buy for any Steven King fan, or the sci fi/horror fan.Movie Review: "Honey The Machine Called Me An A#$*whole"
Summary: 5 Stars
Ounce again, King didnt let me down. Like all of his other movies this one is great.
Made in 86' Its a story about machines that come to life and try to take over the human race. A bunch of people get stuck in this truckstop with a bunch of these trucks all around the place so that they cant leave. Emilio Estevez "Young Guns," "The Outsiders" plays the hero in this movie that tries to save everyone in the truck stop. But will he save them in time? Buy the movie and find out. The whole soundtrack to this movie is AC/DC'S album Who Made Who. Which I thought was cool. Pick this movie up at amazon.
Movie Review: Ah, memories...
Summary: 5 Stars
There were a lot of things in this movie that I had to watch in order to remember. I knew I had SEEN Maximum Overdrive, but I was still a child then, so there were many things I didn't remember. I also got this movie confused with Trucks, which has a slightly different ending. This movie has plenty of explosions, dead people, and objects running amuck. If you're a fan of Stephen King movies, you'll like this one. I don't want to give out any spoilers, but the boss gets what he deserves, and the newly weds should've had the wife drive even though she's crazy and annoying.
