Sands of Oblivion (2007)

Just wanted to get in a quick post, since I've been watching so many good/bad movies lately! I'm currently watching Sands of Oblivion, and loving every minute of it's poor script, hollow acting and outrageous plot line! If you enjoy Syfy originals and other movies along that line, then please go enjoy this movie. Plus, it boasts 2 members of the cast of Firefly. So there! I'm also pretty sure I caught a glimpse of the voice of Homer Simpson, Dan Castellaneta.

After filming his 1923 masterpiece The Ten Commandments in the desert, director Cecil B. DeMille ordered the set buried in the sands. In doing so, he buried an actual Egyptian artifact that housed an angry Egyptian Demon that likes to kill people. Awesomeness ensues. You know, after 10 or 15 beers, stuff like that can get to a guy...



Be back soon with more awesomely bad movies!

What A Way To Waste Them Dollas!

Hey gang! It's your most favorite gory girl in the whole damn world, Ms. Emily Gore and I am here to finally say a hello to you all!
Things have been slow on the meuvie front for this ol' Gore Whore, I blame finally getting cable in the Haunted Mansion I moved into a few months ago.
But I digress.
Today after work I was in the mood to blow money and what better way to do so then to buy meuvies!
First I hit up The Devil Store (a.k.a Walmart), but alas they had nothing I wanted.
Next I went to Movie Stop and spent 90 buckaroos on the following meuvies in Blu-Ray format...

One would think after blowing a wad on 3 films that maybe you should stop there---hell no! I still had to hit up Best Buy, where I ended up purchasing 2 more Blu-Rays...

I am a bit skeptical on Let Me In, the American remake of the wonderful Let the Right One In but for the low, low price of only 13.99 it seemed silly to pass it up; especially when it did garner pretty decent reviews.
The meuvie I am truly most excited about cracking open is the 30th Anniversary Edition of the Bill Lustig slasher classic Maniac. Not only did one of my most favorite companies release it (Blue Underground), but it is jammed packed with hours upon hours of special features.

'SWOON'

As for the Haneke film White Ribbon, well... it's Haneke! One of the greatest and most intriguing living directors working today, Michael Haneke has given us classic and startling films such as Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, and my personal favorite Benny's Video. If you aren't already obsessed with his work, you must get on that post haste!

'YAWN'

It looks like it is past my bedtime, so I shall bid you are adieu and shall be back after a quick cat nap on my bed of nails.

Troll 2 (1990) The Best Bad Movie Ever Made.

Ah, yes... Troll 2.

An unsuspecting family goes on vacation to the town of Nilbog, only to find that the inhabitants are actually vegetarian goblins who want to turn the group into plants so they can feast on them.

You know it doesn't get much better, or worse than this. There are many reasons why people think this is the worst movie ever made. You could reference the bad acting, the bad writing, or even the bad costumes to back up this claim. However there are those, including some of the actors actually in the movie, who think Troll 2 is the best bad movie ever made. You can count me among them. And here are my top 10 reasons you should immediately go watch this movie. Again and again.

10. The tag line in the box was "One Was Not Enough," when in fact Troll 2 isn't the sequel of anything. It chose the name Troll 2 to try and piggy-back on the "success" of Troll. Wow.

 9. I'm supremely jealous of the freckled gent's GI Joe T-shirt when he's talking to Grandpa Seth. Yes, that's reason #9. Count yourself lucky I didn't include how I covet his skateboard...

8. There's a documentary made about this movie celebrating it's awesome awfulness. The actor who played Joshua wrote and directed it. Amazing. Wait for my review of that. Coming soon...

7. The acting is everything you expect and less. Many of these actors were in Trolls 2 and that's about it. They obviously got a bad taste for the movie industry.

6. The Bug-Eyed Goblin & The Plant Boy. These are the small pieces that make up the puzzle. Nice.

5. Bologna plays a pivotal role in the movie at one point.  Baloney, on the other hand, plays a large part throughout.

4. There's a popcorn "sex" scene. Yum!

3. Holly's dance sequence in the mirror. I can't get enough of it. At times you can see her laughing and that makes it all the better. And who ever owned an Aries Garfield shirt? C'mon!

2. Creedence Leonore Gielgud. Period. This woman single-handedly makes this movie more enjoyable to watch with her amazing facial expressions, compulsive over-acting and un-definable accent.

1. Here it is, and it's no secret! Troll 2 contains NO TROLLS in the whole movie! The stars of the movie are Goblins, and not the band.

All of these add up to one amazingly bad movie, and I suggest you go and watch it right now.

Packers win the Superbowl! Wooooo!

I'm only kidding. I'm not really a big football fan, however I'm a HUGE Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan. So yesterday, before the Superbowl began, all I could think of was the episode of Giant Spider Invasion which takes place in Wisconsin and features many farmers, drunks and other forms of "Packers Fans." So now that the Packers did indeed win the Superbowl I feel that this is necessary viewing.

Enjoy.

Cowboys And Aliens (2011)

So there's going to be a film version of the comic book Cowboys And Aliens, huh? Ok, I guess John Favreau is on a comic book kick right now. Ahhh, I miss Zathura.  It's funny because my friend John was just telling me his whole Iron Man conspiracy. Tat's for another time. I was happy to see Olivia Wilde from House, M.D. in it though, I always thought she was pretty cute. Oh, and Harrison Ford is fresh off the last Indiana Jones movie, so Cowboys and Aliens isn't a far stretch, right? As far fetched as this movie looks from the trailer, it still think it looks like an entertaining movie that will be fun to see. Although, I've been excited about movies that ended up not being so good before... (cough*The Other Guys*ahem).
