Monster of the Day #3860

Sweet! Soon AI will allow somebody to animate all these things and the result will be more entertaining than 99% of what Hollywood is putting out these days.This will probably be my last post at least until the weekend is over. It's B-Fest weekend and I start picking people up from the airport tomorrow…

Discord Watch Party tonight!

Happy Friday, everyone. Have a great weekend. Watch something stupid. Indeed, watch something stupid tonight with us at the Discord Watch Party.I think I can safely promise whatever we watch will be funnier than the 'comedy' we watched last time.

Battle Royale in theaters this weekend…

2000's dystopian Japanese flick Battle Royale, about a class of high school students who find themselves assigned to kill all their classmates (after being provided a variety of weapons of various levels of lethality to do so), is playing nationally Sunday night. I *think* that's the only showing, but since BR is up there…

Both were for kids in an era when that basically meant "pretty dumb," but I personally like Monster Squad a lot more, even if it's pretty cheap looking. First, of course, Monster Squad was live action.…

Friday's Watch Party selection was Star Pilot, aka 2 + 5: Mission Hydra. It's delirious '60s Italian sci-fi nonsense, and I've been keeping it in my back pocket for a while.

Monster of the Day #3701

There comes a point in these long weekend, probably 20 movies in, when memories really start getting fuzzy. I kind of remember Cyborg Cop II, but it's not like the it has the sort of tight narrative that etches itself into your mind. It's no classic, that's for sure. But it's that sort of…

Not Monster of the Day #21

Our last full day at T-Fest was Monday. Chad R and I have gotten interested in the work of Douglas Sirk (Magnificent Obsession; All That Heaven Allows). Last time Chad brought some pre-Soap entries--a murder story in a monastery, a movie with Jack Palance playing Genghis Khan (!). For my part, I had obtained…

Not Monster of the Day #15

Elvis (and Mary Tyler Moore) with the little autistic girl that Dr. Elvis cures by hugging her. We closed out the day shift of movies with another old favorite, Change of Habit. It was, in fact, the first film I reviewed for the site, back in its KWAM days. I had posted a Giant…
