Maniac is brilliantly twisted, although that may not have been Dwain Esper's intention.

Metropolis is a silent masterpiece, but sadly some idiots are going to try and remake it.

Watched Club Dread last night.  It was sort of cute;  A parody of slasher flicks.  There's a resort on a tropical island, and the employees are turning up dead.  Everyone suspects everyone else.  The characters are quite entertaining, you've got the hot babe main girl, some English dude with dreadlocks who likes her, but she likes the martial arts guy (his skills include a nerve pinch which induces instant orgasm).  Then there's a washed up rock star from the '70s, his album titles include stuff like "Sea Shanties and Wet Panties".

Nothing spectacular, but it made me laugh a few times.  Sort of in the vein of Scary Movie, same crude humor, but it's not nearly as silly as those movies.  Pretty silly, but not that silly.

Maniac (1934)

A film every true bad movie film fanatic should experience in their lifetime. This is one of the best examples of unintentional hiliarity I've ever seen. It's way over the top performances feel like something you might see at a local play, a bad local play. A mad doctor's assistant is threatened into using his impersonation skills to aid in said mad doctor's diabolical plans of creating life after death. Eventually when the assistant fails, the mad doctor sets his sights on him as his next victim! What happens after that is even crazier. This movie has an unbelievable cat eyeball eating seqeunce, a fight between two people armed with hypodermic needles and even more insanity. It's certainly far from being a dull 51 minutes. Recommended mainly to bad movie lovers, I'd give this 5 slimes. However, for normal folks, I'd be hard pressed to give it more than ** out ***** and I'm only giving it that because it holds one's attention and manages to be quite shocking. I can only imagine how freaky it was in its time.


Seconded.  I was amazed at this.  Not only is the plot insane (there's even more crazy stuff Jase left out), but it features every species of bad acting known to man, from maniacal scenery munching to reading the lines off a cue card.  Every bad movie fan owes it to themselves track down a copy.  If all that's not enough to get you excited, it even has B&W boobies!


Thats funny I actually bought Maniac for $1 about a month ago. Still have to watch it.

UHF- Good, fun little movie, starring Weird Al Yankovic and Michael Richards amongst others.  Not to mention Kevin McCarthy of Invasion of The Body Snatchers fame.

Yes, an unheralded comedy classic!  I love the Yappy's Dog Treats scene and the old bum.

A CHRISTMAS STORY   **** out of ****
My favorite Christmas movie  of all time.  It never gets old.  Classic stuff.

THE REF  *** out of ****
Very underrated and I think that this has Denis Leary's best performance to date in it.  Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis shine as the married couple who almost succeed in driving Leary crazy.  Lags a bit but overall has quite a bit of funny stuff in it.

Dark Queen - sort of like a Cinemax After Dark film, but with only 1/10th as much sex.  So what would be the point of such a movie, you ask?  Well, that's a really good question.  This hot babe college professor is studying ESP, and there's an evil dude in a mental institution that has made some sort of breakthrough - he's got a secret formula that can let you read people's minds.  Hot babe is depressed because she's in love with her teaching assistant, but he's out boinking a cheerleader, so she drinks the secret potion.  She turns evil and begins killing people.  In a black leather S&M type outfit.  The script and the acting are Z-grade, I think half the actors were actually set builders or other crew members.  Lots of hot babes, and you'll see every one topless, so there's that. 

All Souls Day - After 2 or 3 prologues, we meet a young couple who are travelling through Mexico.  They have an accident and end up stuck in a small village.  Turns out there's zombies inhabiting the village, and they need a sacrifice.  The plot moves at a fairly agonizing pace, but I thought the characters were likable enough to keep me entertained.  Overall it was fairly okay.  Things learned:  All cheerleaders can do Kim Possible style cheer-fu.

I love that the old bum asks for change, counts it out to a dollar, then gives Al a one dollar bill.

The bum was asking for change for a dollar rather than begging for change.  It's a brilliant joke.

It is a brilliant joke.  Al's underrated sometimes, in my opinion.  Between his album's, that movie, etc. he's got a lot of funny material.

Last night I watched WARNING from SPACE...an early Japenese sci-fi film. I assumed it would feature giant aliens from space.

Boy...was I WRONG!
Here's a pic of the aliens:


Now-the stpry is about aliens from space to save us from ourselves.All well and good. And no toungue in cheek is invloved. But the aliens are so STUPID looking and fake...it's hard not to laff at them waddling around!

Shrek- I love Shrek.  Gingerbread Man and Pinocchio are the most funny and underrated characters in the flick.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. 5/5:  Not much needs to be said about this classic, except that it may be the ultimate "guy" movie.  I started a thread about it here.

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963). 4/5: Fun family fantasy flick, reasonably faithful to Greek mythology.  The main attraction is Ray Harryhausen's stop motion animation.  I watched this with a 7 and an 8 year old.  The 8 year old was a fan of Greek myth and stayed interested throughout; the 7 year old complained that the special effects were "bad" (damn CGI!) and left after the giant bronze titan appeared.

A CHRISTMAS STORY: This could (should) have been an unbearably saccharine nostalgic movie, but the humor redeems it and turns it into a classic.  Surprisingly rewatchable, in season.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
