Belated Movie Reviews

In Land of Doom (1986) we are presented with a mildly interesting glimpse into an underground city, where the locals have lived for thousands of years. It may be similar to this abandoned city, more recently discovered, or like Derinkuyu, located in Turkey, where this movie was made:

The permanence of the dwellings leads me to consider the impermance of the life that it houses. In fact, it’s a fine contrast to the plot of this movie, a Mad Max derivative starring a guy prettier than Mel Gibson, but not nearly as talented. Something’s blown up civilization, and the murdering rapists are driving the survivors to extinction. The city will persist, but not the life inhabiting it.

Nor the ewok-derivatives.

Yeah, don’t see this dog unless you want to see the terrain. Or have a head cold, like us.
