After Boy that Cried Werewolf was American Ninja. Not as good as American Ninja II (that's the one with the clone ninja army, right?), but hey, Cannon ninja movie. Can't go wrong there. Then it was a typically incoherent (in the best possible way) Asian sword / magic / everything movie Thrilling Bloody Sword.…

Monster of the Day #3352

Whew. OK, after a day off in seclusion, I'm (mostly) recovered from the rigors of hanging out with my favorite people two weekends in a row. Still, I expect to be a big foggy at work today, and I have old friends over for a movie tomorrow night, and then the Watch Party on…

Revenge of the Nerds. I had sponsored X the Unknown for B-Fest. You submit five titles, and they get the first one that's available. As a bonus to me, someone else sponsored one of my other picks. Who doesn't love Fiend Without a Face? Great movie with one of the absolute best payoffs of…

Next up, circa 1:30 AM, was The Children. I guess the film it's closest to in tone is Incredible Melting Man, although for some reason, it doesn't seem as mean-spirited. Which is weird, because it's pretty brutal. I guess it comes off more as goofy than mean. A school bus drive through a radioactive…

The midnight movie at B-Fest, as usual, was Plan 9. As usual (having seen it literally like 50 times), I tried to nap through it.  As always, the scariest thing about Plan 9 is Vampira's tiny tiny waist. Yikes!

After the too arty Big Man Japan, we got a horrible arty short with...mimes. This was called The Adventure (2008). The really terrible part, because my shtick at B-Fest is that I don't look at the schedule, is that I didn't know if it were a short or a feature. A feature about mimes…

Monster of the Day #3347

Hello, folks. Still a little fuzzy headed. Normally I take a day off after the B-Fest week to rest up and get my head on straight, but now that we're doing Basement Fest THIS weekend (and in many ways it's a larger event than B-Fest, at least as far as I'm concerned), I can't…

Monster of the Day #3346 (and bitch session)

Man, that is just a bunch of disconnected Stuff right there, but what stuff!!!! Happy Thursday, everyone. This is B-Fest weekend, so I might not be here tomorrow. Just in case, have a terrific weekend, one and all, and watch something stupid. I know I will do so. Went to see the Kaguya-Sama anime…
