B-Movie Mania: 50% Cheesy, 50% Bloody & 100% Fun
Miriam-Webster defines horror as “a painful and intense fear, dread, or dismay” - exactly the kind of movie I like. The kind that makes you second guess turning out the lights because every little noise or shadow flickering on the wall convinces you that someone (or something) is lying in wait…. Waiting for you to [...]
B-list Actors Turned A (or where were they when….?)
We all know where they are now. Just say a name and you know……… Tom Cruise; Brad Pitt; Angelia Jolie; Sly Stallone; Jamie Lee Curtis. But what about when they started out? So many of them started on a soap opera or in commercials. And many of them started on those cheesy B-movies I do [...]
10 Reasons I wish my Husband were a Zombie
Ok. Maybe not a real zombie; somehow I think getting my neck chewed off as dinner for someone else would really suck, even if that someone else were my dearly beloved husband.
That being said I can think of several reasons him being a zombie would have definite advantages.
1. He would not point out every time [...]
Scientology - Myth, Madness, or…….. Maybe???
Ok. So we have all heard about Scientology and how certain names in Hollywood are advocates for the “faith.” But did you know that Scientology was introduced to the world by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction novelist? Not a doctor or scientist, but a science fiction novelist.
Now please understand, my intentions are not to [...]
Cloverfield-a new genre of B-movie (Warning: Spoilers may be included)
Remember those old Godzilla movies from the 60’s & 70’s? The ones where the monsters were constructed in such an amateur, plastic-y, stunted manner; and the special effects looked like something out of a Batman comic? I loved those movies. Still love them with their antiquated graphics and their awful actors…… its just that [...]
Buffy & Spike & Angel & Faith
I admit it. I was an avid fan of the Buffy series. Didn’t miss an episode, even when the show jumped shark. And I also have to admit that I loved when Buffy and Spike hooked up. Spike helped make that show what it was; not Angel. Angel may have started out as a badass [...]
Movie Theme Songs
Got any favorites? I’ve got a few . On top of my list has to be the song from Disturbing Behavior (one of my all time fav movies back when Katie Holmes was cute). It’s by a band called The Flys, and the song is “Got you (where I want you)” (I will add a [...]
When Great Movies go Bad…..
One of my favorites movies are from days of my youth - the 80’s (it seems sooooo long ago!!!). It was a great movie at the time - had the best special effects and scared the bejebbies out of me. Not to mention one of the main characters was HOTTT in a sexy Jim Morrison [...]
Halloween-Rob Zombie Style (warning: may include spoilers)
Anyone out there seen the Rob Zombie version of Halloween just released on DVD?
WOW - is this movie intense. As well, it does great for answering questions I’ve had for the last 20 years about WHY Michaal turned out the way he did; where did he get that gawd-awful mask and why did he choose [...]
“Go To” Movies…..
Any of you out there have what I call your “go to” movies? You know, movies that you have seen 100 times , can recite the lines word for word, but still watch over and over when nothing else in on? From a comedy standpoint, I love Adam Sandler. His movies are a riot. As well, [...]
