Don't be so hard on low budget movies!
I love my low budget movies, there are some gems there, but the reality is most of them are ass. The ones that have fun with what they're doing and work with the fact that they have a low budget instead of trying to be a $1000 blockbuster are great. That's why I'm hard on them!

Ninja Apocalypse got halfway there but the story and execution was just too cheesy. That and the D&D daily powers those Ninjas were using.
Something Syfy needs to learn - great writing and great ideas are cheap. There must be dozens of writers with talent that would give their soul for a shot at getting a film. There must be hundreds of actors that aren't complete crap waiting tables that would die for a break. And yet they always find the cheesiest, most derivative stories and the most wooden actors to fill their films. Deliver a great story, great characters, find some unknowns that can emote, we'll forgive the bad special effects if the rest is there. Just stop making another bad CGI monster movie!
Right? One of the best movies I've seen in years was Hunter Prey, which had a whopping budget of $400k. Highly recommend that movie if you haven't seen it, by the way.
Yes, most excellent film. Erin Gray from Buck Rogers was the voice of the computer.
