Monster of the Day #1955

Looking for a Prime (get it?) hunk of cheese to watch this weekend. How about Terror on London Bridge. Remember when they bought the London Bridge and moved it to Arizona? Of course, the first thing EVERYBODY thought was "Let's make a movie where the soul of Jack the Ripper is trapped in the…

Monster of the Day #1954

A lame Robocop rip-off fighting jumping Chinese vampires? Oh, Godfrey Ho, you magnificent bastard. Brought to you, of course, by Amazon Prime.

Coming (Briefly) to a Theater Near You: The Muppet Movie

TCM will be showing The Muppet Movie in theaters on Thursday July 25th and Tuesday July 30th. You can check out the Fathom Events website if you wish to scope out a venue near to you. Also, get ready to be depressed: They are showing it to mark the film’s 40th (!!!!) anniversary. (Also…

Monster of the Day #1953

Sorry about yesterday, my Internet went down (highly annoying) although at least it wasn't an issue for a week like last time. Still on Amazon Prime movies. People here know I have a hyper-wide definition of spoilers, like being told something has a twist ending is a spoiler. So yes, I'm showing the end…

Godzilla King of the Monsters off the hook…

Godzilla King of the Monsters is officially off the summer’s box office failure list. This is both by dint of having basically broken even at the worldwide box office, as well as having its shortcomings obscure by far more grandiose bombs like Dark Phoenix and Men in Black International. Godzilla KOTM can now be…

For those who don't know, Brett Piper is a throwback, a regional (New Hampshire) filmmaker who has this little niche making very cheapie monster films featuring endearing stop action animation. The movies are terrific or anything, but they scratch an itch for people who miss that sort of thing. This one is Queen Crab,…

This is Blood Thirst. I have so many movies stacked up in my Amazon Prime list that I should probably just take the weekend and watch as many as I can to prune through them. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Monster of the Day #1950

Looking for '80s cheese? (OK, it was released in 1990, but it's an '80s film at heart.) Amazon Prime has you covered with Demon Wind. Boobs, good make-up and prosthetic effects, and bad/forgettable everything else. It's no Evil Dead, but then you don't expect it to be.

Monster of the Day #1949

Gallery of Horror, a very low-rent horror anthology from the '60s, got mentioned the other day, and yep, it's on Amazon Prime. The stories tend to have 'shocking' twist endings, which ain't that shocking. Basically it's like if Eerie Publications actually tried to make comics like Creepy that were less reliant on gore, but…

Monster of the Day #1948

Amazon Prime! Someday I need to start watching more stuff there. Actually good movies, good junk, bad junk, classic TV shows. (Both Secret Agent Man and The Prisoner.) And I really just subscribe for the free shipping, so its all a bonus. It's pretty sweet. How many people here have Amazon Prime? Perhaps we…
