B-movies.

Who doesn’t love B-movies? With their D-list actors delivering solid B characters, and a cheese factor that would make any wine lover drool…. Who cares if the story line is unrealistic and downright ridiculous? I for one don’t; I enjoy the hell out of it!

Diary of the Dead

George A. Romero is one of my favorite directors.

He has a fetish for zombies much like I do, and that usually translates to a good film.

Can the same be said for Diary of the Dead?

Back in 1994 a couple of no names decided to hook up with an equally no name low budget writer (Kim Henkel) who decided to make his directorial debut with yet another installment in the Chainsaw series. I might also add that this debut was his ONLY directorial effort.

Never heard of him? Neither have I. But I have heard of the two no name actors in this installment: Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger. Talk about a weird combination!

The Creeps come out at night…

What is this? A homicide, or a bad B-movie?

Here we have college kids trying to fit in and trying to get laid, picking on nerdy kids, and providing the gratuitous boob shots that have become a staple of B-movie worthiness.

The acting was laughable, the cast was mostly no name actors, the script was so obviously memorized….

This was turning out to be a GREAT movie!

As some of you may have noticed, I have an appreciation for the “female species.” Most recently I sang praises to Angelina Jolie - and deservedly so. This next show of appreciation for the female “stud” is Jessica Alba.

What do you expect to see when you go see a movie starring Angelina Jolie? Depth? Drama? Action? Or sex??

The hype has been building for weeks now and I too was caught up in the frenzy.

Everywhere you turn there are ads and slogans - trailers and interviews - all promising great things for The Dark Night…..

Could they be right? Could The Dark Knight be all “that and a bag of chips??”

ok. So time for one more confession. I’m a big Brendan Frasier fan.

Now I know what you are thinking. He is no Brad Pitt, and you might have a point there but I have a thing for guys with a sense of humor, who know how to really laugh…. Brad Pitt cheats on his wife.

Enough said.
