The Last Dinosaur • 10 December 1998
Like most long time hobbies, my interest in Bad Moviesâ„¢ began with easy stuff and got more hardcore as time went along. First I watched patently inept flicks like Curse of Bigfoot and It’s Alive (not the mutant baby one). But now I can watch an expensive, technically proficient turkey and recognize how truly awful [...]
Johnny Mnemonic (1995) • 9 December 1998
Johnny ‘Moronic’ is more like it.
(Sorry, just had to get that out of the way.)
OK, so I’ve been lazing off lately, really since scrapping my finished rough of The Klansman. There was even an extra week in there where Paul couldn’t get an article up, so I easily could have had one ready by now. [...]
From Hell It Came (1957) • 30 November 1998
Warning: While I’ve tried not to pursue my youthful love of puns in these reviews, I couldn’t ignore all the obvious ‘tree’ jokes. You’ve been warned.
If you pursue the Bad Movie hobby long enough, your tastes become more refined. I started out with obvious schlock-fests like The Curse of Bigfoot and the Larry Buchanan ‘dinosaur’-in-a-cave [...]

B-Fest ‘98 • 19 February 1998
Ah, B-Fest! Yes, after a year long wait, B-Fest had swung back around. It was again time to drive out to Northwestern University, and ascend the familiar walkway to the Norris University Center. As usual, my friend Jeff flew in from Arizona for the event. In fact, he was able to come in a few [...]
Magnificent Obsession (1954) • 11 February 1998
As I write this, we’re a bit into our second year here at Ken’s World/Jabootu’s Dimension of Bad Movies. It’s been a rewarding first year. We’re steadily heading towards having posted thirty reviews and miscellaneous articles. Figure those pieces at a conservative twelve pages apiece, and I’ve produced over three hundred full pages of text [...]
