The 13th Warrior - Caravan Of Garbage

Just when we thought we was out, they pull us back in. To talk about Michael Crichton movies! This week it's John McTiernan's (director of Die Hard, The Hunt for Red October, Predator) The 13th Warrior. Considered one of the biggest box office bombs of all time this Antonio Banderas action flick is certainly not up there with McTiernan's best but it's certainly not...the worst movie. Mason doesn't like it though if that means anything to you. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review! SU...

Timeline - Caravan Of Garbage

It's Timeline time everyone! Because we're continuing our look at Michael Crichton's movie adaptations that arn't Jurassic Park. The year is 2003, Richard Donner (director of Superman: The Movie) decided to gather up Paul Walker, Gerry Butler, Frances O'Connor and Billy Connolly to do a big time travel to the year 1357 in order to run around a bit and cause of ruckus. Not the best Michael Crichton adaptation, some would even consider it the worst. And maybe it is. Thanks for watching our Caravan...

Sphere - Caravan Of Garbage

Ever heard of Jurassic Park? Michael Crichton’s greatest adaptation! Well get ready for another adaptation that’s not Congo, Sphere. A movie about aliens and time travel and Sphere’s and nightmares.

Congo - Caravan Of Garbage

Michael Crichton is probably most famous for penning the novel that would go on to became 1993's Jurassic Park and the subsequent Park/World sequels. And in light of that a whole lot of different attempts have been made to adapt his work some before, like Westworld and some after like Westworld. Over the next three weeks we're going to take a look at some of the lesser known and lesser successful adaptations, starting with 1995's Congo.

Uncharted - Caravan Of Garbage

By popular demand we've been forced into covering Uncharted 2021, an adaptation of some of the Naughty Dog video game series. Not the good one (The Last Of Us on HBO) but Uncharted 2021, a movie that mostly covers some of the ground seen in parts 3 and 4. With Tom Holland taking on the role as a young Nathan Drake and Mark Whalberg playing that much beloved character, himself, this globe trotting adventure sets the bar for movies that feel like they come out in 2014.

Wing Commander - Caravan Of Garbage

Wing Commander is a bad movie that came out in 1999. Sure it's based on a much beloved computer game series (that features the likes of Mark Hamill) and stars both Freddie Prinze Jr and Matthew Lillard. Plus it was directed by Chris Roberts who not only created the original series but also the upcoming Star Citizen video game which is going to change the way you do video games. All in all though it was a horrible experience. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbare review SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► htt...

Street Fighter The Movie (Extended) - Caravan of Garbage

In 1994 the Street Fighter name was riding high off the back of Street Fighter II, an arcade classic. This meant it was the perfect time to release a movie adaptation and who better to play the role of Guile than Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his fame. Much maligned at the time it’s become somewhat of a cult classic despite being more GI Joe than Street Fighter. But at least some of the actors look like some of the video game characters. Plus it has Australia’s own Kylie Minogue and an ...

With the release of both The Minecraft movie and The Last of Us Season 2 we thought we'd revist some classic video game adaptations. So we're kicking things off with 1994's Double Dragon!
