Oh my, I watched Bad Boys 2 last night. Ugh. They could have blown up one less building and paid a writer so they didn’t to have such a silly movie. It was fun watching crap blow up but some of the silliness that was Martin Lawrence’s character got to be too much for me.
That and I couldn’t help thinking how if Kennedy had these two guys with him when he did the whole Bay of Pigs things Cuba may be the 51st state now.
So I got to see a bunch of movies this weekend. First off last night I had two friends come over to watch some B movies with me. It was our first time all watching high quality flicks together so I wanted to pick some that I knew were easy to enjoy. We started things off with Reptilicus, a new favorite of mine. Any monster that has shorter arms than a T Rex is a winner in my book.
The next film was Planet of the Vampires. I love this movie since, if they were actually going to a planet filled with vampires they were wearing the absolutely correct clothing for it. They had some sort of leather uniform that had a neckline that made turtlenecks look like V necks. I often wondered why, when people go vampire hunting in a movie they don’t get themselves a big ass iron collar to wear since it seems that movie vampires can only bite you on the neck… but I digress. I’ll be posting a review for this film shortly.
I even cracked myself up with one line. There comes a time in the film when the heroes see a bunch of dead bodies in a room but continue to search the ship. When they make their way back to that room all the bodies are gone but their helmets are still lying around on the ground. Captain hero kept asking ‘where are they?’ I suggested that maybe they shrunk and climbed into their helmets to hide from you. Well, after typing it, it didn’t seem too funny but if you ever see that scene just think of that and you have to laugh.
After that one I put on Space Mutiny, my all time favorite MST episode. Between Santa, the dead officer that serves on the bridge, and Big McLargehuge that movie had it all. Throw in the Battlestar Galactica graphics and I can’t pass it up.
My intent was to sleep in today by my neighbor had different ideas with his home improvements so I was up bright and early watching more crap this morning. I saw last years Timeline and Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and am currently watching a movie of the highest quality, Vampyros Lesbos. All of these are going to get their very own reviews as soon as I get the chance.
Stuck up another review. I got my latest shipment of DVD’s from Netflix. Among them was a recommendation made by the guys and gals at the MST3K yahoo group, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. I’m sure I’ll be putting something up about that one over the weekend.
I may have finally talked some friends into coming over Saturday to watch some high quality movies. I think I’m going to start them off with The Angry Red Planet and The Brain that Wouldn’t Die, those are easy to make fun of.
And just so everyone knows, this started out as just a regular entry but somehow I started to go nuts seeing how many links I could add to it. I really need a weekend, I think I'm losing it...
Boring weekend, which was kinda good cause I needed some alone time. I did go through my entire collection of B Movies, organizing and putting them into a database… yep, I am one hell of a dork.
I posted a couple more reviews. Since I have reupped my Netflix I’ll be watching quite a few movies over the summer. I even created a B Movie blogring, just in case there are more sorry souls out there like me 
I watched ‘Attack of the Blood Farmers’ the other day. I’ll be putting up a review of it soon. I started watching ‘”X” The Man With the X – Ray Eyes’ last night after poker but just couldn’t hold on long enough to make it all the way through. I’ll probably finish it up later today.
On Thursday I came very close to having an emotional moment inside Best Buy. I’ve seen that they have started to release B Movie multi-packs. About two years ago I saw 4 movies for ten bucks, fantastic! My collection started to grow. Earlier this year I saw a ten movie pack for about twenty bucks, ohhhhh. Thursday I was on the far side of the DVD department, the bargain section, and saw they now have twenty packs for just a little more than twenty bucks. I was giddy with excitement. I was searching around the Sci-Fi section to find MST3K Volume 5 and what I saw brought a tear to my eye, literally. A fifty, yes that right 50 movies, for less than thirty bucks. It was as if I were an ape seeing the monolith for the first time. I ended up spending over a hundred bucks on movies that day and I averaged just a little more than a buck a movie. It was a beautiful thing.
RIP Weezie
Well, I finished ‘Warning From Space’ and decided to try out the reviews section to see how I like it. If you’re interested you can see my review here.
I have some of my friends coming over tonight to watch some movies. My Goddaughter will be with them so one of them will be a kids friendly flick. I’ve been able to keep them from renting Kangaroo Jack so far but they threatened it today. I can’t say anything during the kids movie, you don’t want to piss off a six year old girl, they punch at your groin.
God I just love the internet. You really can find anything you need here. I looked around for like 3 or 4 clicks and found the cowbell skit from SNL. I'm afraid to google myself and see what I'll find.
I'm about to watch the gem 'Warning from Space' The DVD box makes the movie look promising, there's a giant starfish with a disproportionately large eye right in the middle of it. Of course I’m not sure what would be an appropriately size eye for a starfish since none of the ones I’ve seen have one, but what do I know?
Today’s tip of the day is brought to us by “Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter” If you think a village is being terrorized by a vampire, simply bury dead toads in a circle around the area and you’ll know for sure because vampires bring dead toads back to life. Sounds like an infomercial, “Did your childs frog meet an untimely demise and you don’t want your little boy to cry, well simply call 1-866- VAMPIRE and one of our specialists will be out to your house at nightfall and revive your warted pet. Call now and we’ll throw in our special blood reduction, erra blood pressure reduction service, all for just $19.95”
Alrighty, let me preface this entire entry by saying I like cops. A couple of my friends are cops and they have jobs that I could never hope to do myself.
begin rant…
That being said there was a show on tonight on ABC that was about the real NYPD and they showed some officer pull over a driver. The stop happened on a busy road so the officer asked the driver to pull off at the next intersection but before the cop got back into the car he told the camera something to the effect of “That guy is wasted, drunk” Here is where I have my first problem with this, the knows he is drunk but lets him drive to the next intersection to pull over, hmmmm.
At the intersection it turns out the cop is going to use his own discretion and let the driver off with a warning which is okay by me I guess but in the next instant the cop takes his keys and throws them into the truck, closing the door locking the keys inside. He tells the driver to take a cab home or he’s going to get arrested. Before the drivers daughter could even say it I’m thinking, isn’t it probable that their house keys were on that keychain? The driver is up in arms that he has no place to go now that he can’t get in his house and all the cop says is take a cab and go home, “I don’t care if you have to break into your house, just go home.” Of course the whole thing ended up with the driver getting taken in since he was liquored up he got in the cops face but I can’t understand how the cop though he was making anything better by leaving a father and daughter stranded withouta way to get in their home. Ugh
end rant…
I can’t wait for Anchorman to come out, it looks hilarious. Will Ferrell has absolutely no shame and will do anything for a laugh.
Saw Spidey this weekend, along with half the free world. It was great that they made it more than a super hero flick and I liked it a lot, but I just couldn’t make myself feel bad for Peter Parker like the director wanted me to. I mean come on, he’s SPIDER MAN!!! The last hour, hour and twenty minutes were great; effects, action, Kirsten Dunst in bondage, it had everything!!!
I saw the fantastic pic, “Reptilicus” over the weekend. Fake model monster spitting green goo that reminded me of those Nickelodeon “I’ve been slimed” shows. And oh the acting. I can hear the director now, “No, damn you! That’s too much emotion!” Of course I heard the director was a pioneer in the 3D film world so I have to give him some credit, do I?
