Very nice site, and many good reviews and summaries from the site creators and reviews from visitors.
But, I was wondering if it would be better to more explicitly explain if this site is for "Bad Movies" or "B-Movies". A B-movie refering to a low budget movie. Sometimes b-movies are bad, like Plan-9 From Outer space or The Creeping Terror, but somtimes are really entertaining such as Earth vs.The Flying Saucers. These are different from just plain bad movies such as The Legacy. Things seem a little ambiguous. (And there actually is a side question of whether an old movie should be automatically catogorized as a B-movie examples: Citizen Kane, War of the Worlds). On the rating scale it says four 4 drops is for a b-movie but 5 is for a bad movie. Maybe a slightly diffrent scale or two scales would be good?

Thank you kindly.

Probably reading into the site URL and review scale a little too much.  My only criteria in selecting movies is that they "fit" my view of what should be on the site.  Hence classic science fiction and horror films, along with expliotation, cult, and plain trash movies.

Mainly, my only concern is that a movie entertain me.

There's a subjective ambiguity about the difference between a "bad movie" and a "b movie" based on personal taste. I try not to concern myself too much about it.  Some very low budget "B" movies are actually pretty good.  Some "A" movies are really bad

Thanks for the reply.

I just thought that it might make it even easier to quickly find and seperate the bad b-movies from the REALLY bad movies without having to looking much at the reviews.

But, I see that it dosent cause anyone much concern, so I guess its no big deal.

Thanks again for a nice place for b-movie fans.

PS. If you havent seen it (recently?) you might want to watch and/or review Earth vs. Flying Saucers. It's even got romance in it so maybe Katie will want to watch it with you.

    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.
