As B-Fest 2023 entered the home stretch, monsters became sparse on the ground. Again, if I had one very minor issue with the line-up, its that they bunched types of movies together rather than splitting them up. So we got the kiddie adventure movie Space Camp, the Walter Hill musical action flick Streets of Fire, and finally Xanadu.*
[*Mr. Rational, also in attendance picked Xanadu as the worst film, rather to the surprise of myself and Chad R. However, it turns out that GalaxyJane, watching along with the line-up at home, also picked Xanadu. Huh. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.]I think there was a general sense that maybe they could have picked a better closer than the highly boring wet fart of a movie, BloodRayne. I mean, even the main character is yawning in the picture above. Lots of actors embarrass themselves, including Gandhi himself, Ben Kingsley. (OK, he doesn’t embarrass himself, but you certainly felt sorry for him that this is the sort of gig he has to take these days.)
Watch Party tonight.
