No discussion of crazy cinema would be complete without a look at the ninja movies of Godfrey Ho, and Ninja: American Warrior is a good example of his work.

…in which it takes me over 7500 words to explain that I am lost for words…
[NB: Possibly NSFW: a little nudity, some blood, random body-parts, and a super-sized serving of WEIRD.]
Awww… Kitty!

The sword and sorcery movie Ator The Fighting Eagle doesn’t get that far off the ground.
I haven’t done an ‘update’ post here for a while, about the stuff I’ve been transferring over to the blog; so I thought I’d take care of that before getting stuck into the new Roundtable:
I have now transferred and tidied up:
– The Flying Saucer (1950)
– Revolt Of The Zombies (1936)
– The Last Warning (1929)
– The Magic Cloak Of Oz (1914)
– The Patchwork Girl Of Oz (1914)
– The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz (1910)
I have also added two new Et Al. posts: April17, in which the journey through 2007 continues, plus there’s a bunch of random stuff that came out of the tape-box; and Aug17, in which 2007 is finally wrapped up, while I also reveal a shameful growing addiction to the Midday Movie…

There are films that make you laugh, and films that make you cry.
There are films that make you angry, and others that make you feel good.
There are films that make you think, and others that are mindless entertainment.
And then there are those films to which the only reasonable response is a cry of— “WTF!?”
So join us as we take a walk on the weird side…

Some movies you can tell are really bad even before watching them. They Went That-A-Way & That-A-Way is one of these movies.
A real sleeper

Touching and funny, the independently made comedy-drama The Personals cries out for being released on DVD and Blu-ray.
The science fiction movie Cyber Tracker is a good looking but otherwise surprisingly lame offering from PM Entertainment.
Nope. Still Not Dead.

Although I do need to get a bunch of repair work done on my left knee…
Child’s Play (1988), in which getting the thing you want most for your birthday kind of sucks sometimes…
Madman (1980), which completes the informal trilogy of early-80’s slasher flicks rooted, to one extent or another, in the legend of Cropsey…
She (1935), in which a more relatable Leo Vincey has an altogether less reprehensible reason to venture into the kingdom of She Who Must Be Obeyed…
She (1965), in which She Who Must Be Obeyed goes looking for Leo Vincey for once…
and…
Trick or Treat (1986), a movie I’d certainly have included in my Satanic Panic theme update a few years ago, if only I’d been able to remember what it was called.
You’ll have plenty of hard words to say if you are unlucky enough to watch the Australian heist movie The Hard Word.
