Speed 2: Cruise Control 10.01.2019 1:03:00
How do you end up with a classic like Speed 2? Well first you need a classic, like Speed. Ah, the movie making process. First, you get a script together, match it with producers with the vision, who find directors who see that vision, cinematographers who can bring the vision to celluloid, actors who fulfill that vision, and the music and effects that bring it to life. Ah, the sequel making proces...

Atlantis: The Lost Empire 29.11.2018 53:49
When I realized that this month had one too many Thursdays, I thought what is a crap movie that I have seen which is vaguely Indiana Jones-ish.

Deep Rising 25.10.2018 46:30
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watch a movie that is not sure what it is.

Lake Placid 18.10.2018 46:30

Welcome to the next month in our season 5 line-up, Cool In College. Curated by Daniel, these movies were the posters on every wall sold in the quads from under a cheap canopy.

We will find out together! Our first pick i...
Little Rascals 30.08.2018 45:08
Has there ever been a joke that people around you like, but you just don't find funny? Maybe it has been stripped down from a better joke, or told so many times that it is no longer funny. With that image in your head, we watch the Little Rascals, from the director of Wayne's World. You heard me. This is the last precocious kid movie of the month and boy is it as doozy with a surprise cameo you w...
