Thoughts on coming reviews?

"I AM a monster...a LOVE monster!"

More Kentucky-fried Girdler. But then, I'm biased.

How about some spegetti westerns. The Jango flicks would be a good start. Any thing with Lee Van Cleef (The man with the gunsite eyes!). Oh, yeah. And Clint....hey, it'd be a change of pace! Could be fun.

it's one of those movies where you always know what they're about to say, though i doubt they copped it from that guy

riders of the storm...because  i'll find comfort in knowing someone else not only has seen it, but that someone else co-habitates with an actual copy and can still sleep at night. it's not that bad i guess. it's unique...

OTHER than that...the more obscure the better...stuff not on other sites.

Oh, hey, Andrew! You know, you could probably use more Andy Milligan. I know it's sort of a hot topic now with the book and all, but he's still under-represented in the web world. And I know you've endured Rats are Coming. If you REALLY wanted to show off your intestinal fortitude, you might opt to tackle one of Milligan's 80 gore entries ... Milligan trying to do Troma. Not pretty.

I myself have plunged into a sick, twisted, moussed world of bad 80's horror cinema. I turned 30 recently, and I set myself a mission in which I will rent every horror film in my local Video Update that I've never seen ... in alphabetical order. I'm a month into the journey now, with 25 mostly 80's titles accounted for.

So far in 2002, the 80's crap standard to beat has proven to be Future Kill.

Boardinghouse, as I mentioned elsewhere, was so bad that it broke my VCR. For real.

Future Kill is one I'd like to see you wrestle with, Andrew. It might cure you of your 80's/90's crap yearnings.

The frightening thing is, I have a large number of the movies that everyone has suggested.  Even "Future Kill," though I think it is buried in the very back of the bottom shelf of my tapes (it is 3 layers deep).  And that is exactly where it is going to stay - at least for now.

I keep thinking about a review for "The Rats Are Coming!  The Werewolves Are Here!"  Something always keeps me from getting to work on a review...must be a self-preservation instinct.

Well, I am putting "Eliminators" and "Spookies" on the menu.  I will probably start working on the review for the tank/cyborg movie tonight.  I remember laughing out loud when he fell off the boat and promptly sank.

You're doing this too?  I started my alphabetical horror quest about a year ago.  Slow going though, because I don't rent movies very often.  I just pick one or two up every time I'm down there.  I'm just now making my way through the C's.

For every ten titles I slog through, there's usually one that's surprisingly good.  Of course, there's also two that are gut-churningly awful.  I think AUDREY ROSE would be the one I hated the most.  It's an EXORCIST-style movie that takes itself way too seriously, is way too boring, and is way too long.  I think it's when they go to trial to prove the existence of reincarnation the my loathing flipped to outright hatred.

I'd like to see some bad 80's sex comedies reviewed, like HAMBURGER. . . THE MOTION PICTURE.  But that's not really this site's modus operandi.  How about a B-Movie Cabal theme where you watch movies that are specifically designed to ride on the coattails of other, more popular movies?  Those are always so delightful.  Or action/sci-fi/comedies, like DEAD HEAT.  What a can't miss collection of genres for one movie to have.

I'm doing five videos a week for 52 weeks. That's the plan.  I should be up to 'C' after next week.

I did Audrey Rose last month. I actually decided that if I had to spend eternity in hell watching one bad movie, I'd rather it be Future Kill than Audrey Rose.

I said this before I sat through American Scream, of course.

Dang so many good suggestions. How about some good old cheesy 80's Kung Fu movies. I love these(unless they are done right pain inducing).

I always liked HAMBURGER: THE MOTION PICTURE, just for the scene at the end with "the eating club."  

My vote would be for BARBARIAN QUEEN, but I haven't seen the others, only heard about them.

[Flangepart]

Tonights movie: BARBARIAN HAMBURGER! The story of a time traveling tribe of Hunter-gathers that open a fast food franchise in modern L.A. Starring Tom Wopat and Clu Culager. Sorry.....its one of those mondays................

are these viewings open to the public?
