Summary: Awesome video!
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! Its got great music by AC/DC, and a totaly unreal plot. It was a bomb when it came out, but its not so bad. This post Breakfast Club flick is perfect for anyone who likes laughs, blood, and good music!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Masculine Overdrive!!! AC/DC ROCKS!!!
Review: How could anyone in their right mind give this a review of anything less than 5 stars???Ok, ok...Maybe I'm a little biased being that I'm one of the biggest AC/DC fans in the whole world. But besides that, How could you have not loved this flick? First off... The box itself warns you on the cover A: Steven King flick and B: AC/DC does the entire soundtrack. So there, you've been warned... if you don't like either one of those, you had no business renting/buying/viewing the movie. The film itself differs from your typical King story(Not to mention it was written for the screen)... It was a simple concept yet, a fun concept: Virtually anything with a motor or electronic circuitry with the potential to maim and/or kill life on earth is brought to animation by a mysterious green glow sent out by alien life forms awaiting to take over the soon to be vacant planet!!! And so the story goes, 10-15 people are trapped in the Dixie Boy truck stop in either North or South Carolina (I forget which)with nothing but brains, beer and a small yet sufficient cache of weapons, including but not limited to: Machine guns, bazookas/rocket launchers and grenades!!! If they can hold out long enough against the army of diesel trucks that surrounds them, they just might make it out alive!!! Oh, and did I mention that AC/DC does the entire soundtrack?!?! Which,might I add, if you were to only own one AC/DC album, it should be "Who made who?" the Official soundtrack to this monster of a movie!! Personally, I can watch this movie anytime and it makes my day a whole lot better...of course, to each is own. Not to mention that I am kind of a redneck. Bottom line though,whether your a King fan,an AC/DC fan, or just a fan of Big trucks, rednecks, guns and beer with a whole lotta explosions... Buy this movie, you won't be dissapointed!!! Until then...Adios Amigos!..............thebluetape...

Summary: I see why this film is so infamous.
Review: Emilio Estevez is a cook who takes on a bunch of trucks that have come to life. Stephen King's first and only directorial attempt is a campathon, a schlockfest with plenty of car mayhem and destruction (which make for a few amusing moments), but precious little in the way of genuine fun or thrills. I don't expect smarts or intelligence, but a movie like this should at least be enjoyable.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 1 must pump gas,1 will not B harmed,1 must bring us lunch
Review: This movie was a goof! even after I saw it Steven King himself called it a moron movie (the movie,not the ppl who watched it).
The story is the earth gets tweaked by Halley's comet and all machines "come too life" attacking people,dogs etc. The AC/DC soundtrack was great (good choice). The movie had some cool scenes, my favorite was the soda machine that wasted those kids and their coach by shooting out soda cans! Yeah they got soda popped alright.
You need to have a sense of humour for a movie like this.If you don't.. don't bother with it. Most famous line in the movie "Mavis are you dead?"Yeardly Smith to her hubby

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not Good At All!!
Review: The year was 1986 and I was ten years old. I remember watching televison with my cousin and seeing the trailer for this movie. Stephen King saying "I'm gonna scare the hell out of you" He was right in essence. It scared the hell out of me in the fact that a movie that bad could make the big screen.

This movie neither intelligent nor scary is about killer machines. In the first scene we see appliances such as a lawn mower take control of themselves and attack innocent victims. What this has to do with the rest of the movie, I have no idea. Most of this movie is about killer trucks that have trapped a handful of people in a gas station. Emilio Estevez is the mastermind of this bunch and out of nowhere comes up with a scheme to save the day. The entire movie is drawn out and plain dull. Acting is sub par and did not impress me.

This film receives one stars from me. If I could give a half star I would give another half for the lawn mower scene at the beginning of the movie. I'm sure some people will find this movie entertaining as everyones taste differs but I'm sorry I see nothing good about this movie what so ever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Human Massacre
Review: This movie is one of the Stephen King's bests.
Very attractive and chilling, but not as scary
as SK's other hits. But I really recommend you
to watch this movie. Better rent it, don't buy
it...you have to see it for yourself!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AC/DC, Emilio Estevez & GREEN GOBLIN, what more do you want?
Review: For a campy, sci-fi horror movie this is very entertaining! A killer soda machine??? Very cool!!!

Summary: Interesting
Review: I actually liked this movie. It was rather interesting, as will a lot of movies it has it's supidity and it's let downs in places, but in general, to me this was a good movie. Of course the very handsome Emilio Estevez truly helps the movie. Though that shabby love scene with im could have been left on the cutting room floor. If you haven't seen it, watch it, you might like it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Maximum Stupidity
Review: What the hell was Stephen King thinking?!. This movie shows that Mr. King should stick only to writing. This film is a joke and a stinker in every sense of the word. One of the worst ever!!!!.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Maximum Overdrive is awsome!
Review: I thought this movie was awesome. It is not some of Emelio's greatest work, I have to admit, but it is still a great movie. Stephen King always has excellent thrillers, even though this movie isn't the best quality it still is a good movie. And the fact the AC/DC did the Whole soundtrack to the movie just makes me like it more. I love this movie and it's a good thriller if your not in the mood for the Matrix.
