Yes, I've done it again. I've posted another insanely long dissection of a terrible B-movie, this time an MST3K favorite called PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR. You can access this review by clicking the link below.

Also, if you missed it the first time I posted it, you can still check out my review of the dreadful actioner EASY KILL starring Frank Stallone at:

I don't really have any plans to start up a "bad movie site" of my own at this point. For right now, I'm just doing this for fun. I'm a total beginner, and as such, any comments, criticism, and feedback are much appreciated.

Albert:

I read your Easy Kill review and it was good. Great sense of humor. However, I would make a couple of suggestions if I may (feel free to disregard)

1) It's WAAAAAAAY too long. I took me more time to read the review than it would take to watch the film and though it's hard to pass up all that great material its a review not an episode of MST3K.

2) The research at the beginning though impressive is also a bit much. Again your reviewing a single movie not Frank and Co.s entire careers.

Both of these things are totally understandable and they were done well so I can't blame you, but it kind of reminded me of Star Trek the Motion Picture. Just because the effects are cool does not mean more of them make a movie better. Try to hone it down to the choicest comments and pace the review more concisely, but otherwise it was great fun! Thanks for writing it and bully for you for having the courage to ask for advice. I hope nothing I said angers, offends or discourages you. I think you did far more right than wrong.

I guess you could say these things are more like "recaps with commentary" than actual reviews.  But, in doing these, I'm still figuring out how to decide what to keep and what to toss out. I'm learning it's not absolutely crucial to describe every scene or exchange of dialogue in a movie, so hopefully my future reviews will be more concise. Thanks for your comments.

You are welcome. I really did enjoy them so please don't be offended. Keep up the good work etc., etc.
