Stephen King Goes to the Movies - Maximum Overdrive (the excellent and excruciating w/o)

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line was killed in a horrible electric can opener incident. What a shame.
Review: It must have seemed like a really good idea. Emilio Estevez was coming off potentially star making performances in The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire, Stephen King was coming off successful novel adaptations including (rather inexplicably) The...

When Good Trucks Go Bad

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2000
Review: There was a time, back in the days of my rose-colored youth, when Maximum Overdrive was my favorite movie. The concept of trucks running people over gave my sick little frame shivers of glee.

Well, I hate to break it to you, my former...

Rage Against The Machine

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: It has a campy storyline that gives you a laugh now and then. But tends to keep you sitting on the edge of your seat.
Review: Before I tell you about this movie, I've got to tell you about where I live. I live in a truckstop town. Not one truckstop, but six truckstops all within a mile radius of each other. The Census Bureau counted 157 residents. But on any given day, in...

Human Vs.Machine

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: Just a good movie that is a bit different from the others.
Review: Let me say that my movie reviews are my opinion only. I tell you what I liked and disliked about
the movie, but in the process of that, I do not give away the entire movie.

Who Made Poo? Crappy movie that's a lot of fun!

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: A Golden Raspberry award winning performance from Estevez in this epic story of man going against machines and losing terribly.
Review: My husband normally doesn't share my fascination with the horror genre so I was surprised this evening when he selected a film from Fearnet On Demand menu called Maximum Overdrive. I happily sat down beside him and began watching this eighties flick...

The best way to spend six dollars ISN'T THIS.

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: Good for a laugh. Pay the extra dollar to buy it instead of renting it so you can destroy it afterwards.
Review: I was at a local music store, browsing through the bargain bin of VHS movies, with a hankerin' for a bad movie. And, Stephen King being the king of bad movies, Maximum Overdrive immidiately caught my attention. I mean, who wouldn't be enticed by the...

MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE - Hail to the King!

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: Perhaps King's work is just not destined to work on the big screen, if even the author fails at it. But then, perhaps he's just not a good director.
Review: Man, you have to feel bad for Stephen King. For years other directors have been ravaging his works in sub-par efforts that frankly blow (save for the very few rare exceptions). Sick and tired of getting mangled, King decides "Fine, I'll show you all...

King Has Done It Again

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: Get out the cheese, it is time to watch a Stephen King story-made-movie. Every adult should see this one once.
Review: Yep, King has done it again. Another good story made into a floppy cheesy C-rated movie.

Okay, I have to say, outside of the disgusting amount of blood, this was not too bad. I am a little shocked that Emilio of all people would partake in...

Unique and well put together

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2000
Review: When I was little, I remember being closely attached to this movie. I think the reason might have been because I liked trucks in general. I liked their "superiority" over any other vehicle and have just been interested in them. It used to be (and...
