Hey folks, it's been a while. I took a break from here for a few months to allow myself to recharge. I know, you wanted your cheap and exploitative fix, and I wasn't here providing the sugar. I'm sorry. I was busy getting married. Anyway, I have a tradition every October of watching 31 horror … Continue reading Mulberry Street (2006)
Hey folks, I figured I would check in and let you know that I'm going to be pulling back from this whole blogging thing for a bit? Why? What's wrong with watching and talking about bad movies?

Nice. Robert Z'Dar is a criminal named … Continue reading Killing American Style (1990)
In 1969, America went to the moon. To top us, the British made a movie about aliens on the moon coming to us in 1967. I'm still thinking we got the better end of the bargain here, but I don't blame the UK for trying! Meteors fall in formation in a field in the English … Continue reading They Came from Beyond Space (1967)
