I don’t feel like waxing on too much for this…

WaxworkThe 1988 horror movie Waxwork is pretty much a waxy build-up to… not much. (However… rest in peace, David Warner.)

Holy cow! You’ve got to see this movie!

Rat FinkCompletely lost for 50 years before being unearthed, Rat Fink is much more sleazy, nasty, and unintentionally hilarious than you can imagine. It’s not drive-in gold – it’s platinum!

Boobs for boobs

Loose ScrewsCanada produced a whole bunch of painfully unfunny sex comedies in the VHS era, Loose Screws being just one egregious example.

Unless you have a real jones for Jones…

Black Moon RisingPerhaps appearing in substandard movies like Black Moon Rising before his superstardom helped make Tommy Lee Jones the cranky and hostile person that has been reported repeatedly.

Cameron Mitchell on drugs!

Monkey On My BackBefore he became a funny B movie monkey, actor Cameron Mitchell showed in movies like Monkey On My Back that he had solid dramatic acting chops.

Certainly Horrible. Oh My, Pure Sludge!

C.H.O.M.P.S.Oil and water don’t mix, and neither do Hanna-Barbera and American-International Pictures, with their collaboration C.H.O.M.P.S. being extremely painful proof of this.

These Have Been Up for a Few Days…

…but for some reason I was having a hard time logging in to post them. Oh well– everything seems to be working fine now.

 

Halloween (2007), in which Rob Zombie isn’t the worst thing to happen to the franchise, but the movie would have been so much better if it were free to be something other than a Halloween remake…

The Pack (1978), in which the Jaws-knockoff formula gets an interesting twist from using a species that usually gets along very well with humans as the threat…

Total Recall (1990), which is simultaneously Paul Verhoeven’s last really good Hollywood movie, and a signpost pointing the way to Hollow Man and Showgirls

and…

Vanessa (1977), in which it isn’t just your imagination– there really wasn’t a script, strictly speaking.

 

 

 El Santo rules the wasteland-- and also 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting.

Loser of ancient glory, but winner with laughs

Big bus, what’s the fuss?

Should I be hard or soft?

Death Bed: The Bed That EatsThe horror movie Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is one of those movies about a bed that, well, eats.
