What a great double feature.

2008-08-05T16:28:23Z

With the technology that is Netflix "Watch NOW" I was able to treat myself to a double craptastic feature.

Otis and Teeth.

Otis went places I never expected.
The whole Mom and Dad bickering thing was fabulous.
Him being a lovable serial killer.
Blowing away the pizza delivery guy without looking first.
This shit was AWESOME

Now Teeth on the other hand was like a dream turned nightmare.
She would have her "just deserts" regardless.

It was from left field, or was it?

No means No.
Don't forget it!

The Hidden

2008-08-03T20:23:43Z

Highly, highly recommended. This is not only a perfect example of a crappy movie that doesn't suck, it's actually a crappy movie that's compelling and good (except for some plot implausibilities and deliberate cheese).

Kyle McLaughlin plays an FBI agent (pretty much the way he played Dale Cooper, a quietly repressed freakshow, except this time with a much flatter affect) working with a snide LA cop (Michael Nouri of Flashdance!) on the trail of a crazed killer who likes to steal ferraris and other consumer goods, and kill anybody who gets in his way. As an action movie, it's really well edited. As sci fi, which it turns out to be, it's really not half bad either. And it brings back the mood of the '80s in some intangible way.

Most overrated movies of all time....

2008-07-17T01:17:10Z

Please list what movies you guys think are the most overrated movie of all time. And please don't list Napoleon Dynamite because you guys have already complained about it.

I will toss my chip in with:I will piss of a lot diehard geeks here, but hear me out. I feel like the Lord of the Rings series was overrated. I am not saying I didn't like it. I just felt like it was propped up on this pedestal of one of the greatest 15 movies of all-time when I think its quite a bit below that. According, to the Top 250 on IMDB this is how they are rated: Return of the King is the third greatest movie of all time, The Fellowship of the Ring is the 8th greatest, and the Two Towers was rated 11th. I realize on IMDB there is a bias to newer movies because so many more young people use the internet. But come on, their rankings blew away Gone with the Wind, Raging Bull, and other notable greats. As a kid, I loved the books and I am a big fan of Peter Jackson(see Dead Alive), but I felt even Jerry Bruckheimer (that might be going a bit far)could have done the movie and people would still have loved it. When I see a movie, I want to see an original concept. As hokie as Star Wars was it was great because it was fresh. Sure it drew from various sources like Kurosawa's Kakushi toride no san akunin(ironically isn't in the top 250) but made a completely new creature.

Roadhouse!!

2008-06-10T19:48:40Z

Got pointed to this tribe from the Bondage A Go Go tribe because we are having a John Waters tribute night and saw on of my favorite movies as the main photo. Laughed out loud. No really.

What I wanted to share though is something that makes many movies of this sort better: the drinking game. For Roadhouse we do it like this. Beer only, no really. Anytime anyone's name is said you drink. If it's Brad Wesley or Dalton you drink twice. Have at least four beers each person and six is really more the count. Thats how many I went through last time I played. Enjoy!

Call of Cthulhu

2008-05-06T19:21:13Z

Another must see, if you like silent movies, cheesy monsters and Lovecraft.

It's a crappy delight, a faux silent movie, recent but made in 1920s style by the H.P. Lovecraft Society. There's references to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, clunkily and somewhat unconvincingly rendered silent cinema camera techniques, really wordy straight from Lovecraft intertitles, and a sort of homage to Ray Harryhausen in the monsterbation.

It also captures the lyrical, cheesy somehow genuinely creepy feel of Lovecraft better than any other cinematic attempt I've seen.

I let my little plush baby Cthulhu watch it with me, who bounced around happily when his daddy menaced.

I Married a Monster from Outer Space

2008-04-22T02:03:12Z

This one is a textbook example of crappy/doesn't suck--even though there's every reason to expect it to.

On the surface, it's about a woman who marries a man whose body has been taken over by a space alien. The editing is lurchy and the acting pretty dismal. But it ends up being a metaphor for all kinds of things--suburban alienation, the unattainability of the American dream, sexual alienation between men and women. The fact that Tom Tryon, the actor/novelist (the guy who wrote one of my favorite crappy '70s tv movies Harvest Home actually!), plays the part of a young suburban husband but also appears stereotypically gay, adds a whole other dimension of alienation-otherness.

Phantasm

2008-04-15T19:38:23Z

For some reason, I'd never seen this. Don Coscarelli. Horror cult classic. It's lyrical and weird, and very, very '70s. Sex in the cemetery with bare-breasted monster blondes. Scuttling things between the gravestones. Smirky mute psychic grannies. Severed fingers slithering through viscous off-color fluids. This one has it all! It's like an episode of Night Gallery fell in love with a Wes Craven movie and they ran off together attempting to set up house in whatever neighborhood the Partridge Family lived in.

The main character wears skin-tight pocketless jeans and slightly puffy button-down shirt, but redeems himself from utter suburban foppishness by driving a gorgeous '70(?) black Hemi Cuda His little brother does some dirt riding in the cemetery on a pretty little motorcycle whose marque escaped me--some sort of 125 Kawi maybe.

DOOMSDAY

2008-04-15T16:02:43Z

Wow! This flick is absolutely craptastic - and I mean that in the best of ways. It stops just short of being a complete Grindhouse knock off but takes itself even less seriously. Picture equal parts Mad Max, Planet Terror, Escape from New York and Braveheart with a very bad ass Rhona Mitra in the vague role of Snake Pliskin. Also starring Bob Hoskin and Malcolm McDowell. Dont go looking for deep messages, consider the plot holes a delicious swiss cheese to snack on, write off the surreally bad car chase as a woman driver and enjoy the hell out it. Great fun!

oh man is this great! doesn't really belong in this tribe, because...it doesn't suck, it bites. it's the movie you sit through all the crappy movies waiting for. and, if you get the chance, it's a good one to see in a theatre, because there is a lot of audience reaction, especially among the dudes. i saw it at the parkway in oakland, where i believe it's still playing.

Mock-u-mentaries: what do you think of them?

2008-04-01T23:14:37Z

I just saw "Unknown White Male" and was pretty quickly convinced it was a fake. Has anyone seen it and would care to comment? The director and the guy its about are swearing to its authenticity but it just doesn't hold up. Ebert did some research on this one and did not find any news reports in any papers to substantiate the events. What do you think of people who pass off fiction for truth? I think they should be shot, or at least strung up and have electrodes attached to their nether parts....

Let's Scare Jessica to Death

2008-03-18T23:14:48Z

Man...have I found the right Tribe! Loooove the baaaad movies...

I saw this when I was a kid and thought it was pretty creepy. My 12 year old son is way into horror now, but I'm trying to steer him away from excessive gore. Saw this on Netflix and rented it for him. We watched it last night and laughed our asses off. Besides the blatant stupidity of the premise--Jessica has just been released from a mental institution, so let's drive her in a refurbished hearse to an abandoned farmhouse with a bad history in some weird-ass isolated town (that apparently they knew nothing about) which has neither mental health facilities nor law enforcement as best I can tell, where the focal point of the town is a grave yard, filled with hostile, sliced and bandaged old people and one skinny mute girl running around in a nightgown... and when we find there is a mysterious squatter inside said creepy house (the only character who is even remotely attractive, I might add...you could be ugly and still work in the 70s)--instead of shooting/arresting her ass--let's invite her to stay!!

So many wonderful bad moments, mostly from Jessica herself: Zohra Lampert (don't feel bad that you don't know who she is), an Olive Oyl awkward, gapped-toothed, slightly crosseyed, comically ugly woman who shrieks like a chicken, is priceless. Craptastic acting, pink blood and as illogical as any vampire/zombies/or-is-she-just-insane kind of movie is. If they had the Razzies back then, she would've swept the awards. I won't go into any detail here because I'm hoping some of you guys will watch it so you can laugh at it with me.

Oh, and here's the best part...it's still sorta creepy. No matter how laughable it is--oh, and it is--there were still a couple of times I jumped.

One of my favorites...check it out!

They Live

2008-03-07T18:54:52Z

I just saw this again recently. Obviously it's not a great movie -the lead is played by pro wrestler Roddy Piper, whose acting is about on the level of Steven Seagal. But it's funny and suspenseful in a B-movie sort of way. Better yet, it has a real message. When people put on special sunglasses, they can see not only that there are aliens among us posing as humans, but the subliminal messages like "Obey" and "Conform" that are all over the media. This movie actually has a lot of truth, despite a silly plot, if you look at it symbolically.

Oh my god, I just saw this and it was awful and amazing.

Clive Owen just runs around shooting people while inexplicably eating raw carrots and tossing off terrible one liners. And Paul Giamatti runs around being cheesey and silly.

You MUST see this. Why cut an umbilical cord when you can shoot through it?

The Toxic Avenger

2008-01-24T11:29:21Z

Ok, this movie has been mentioned, but it has not received it's rightfully deserved thread.

When other kiddies were reviewing 'Dead Poet's Society' for their leaving certificate grade, I, courageously, sought to bring the critical attention and accolades to 'The Toxic Avenger' that it rightfully deserved. I still am……….Back then I claimed that it was a metaphor for the evils of pollution and chemical waste dumping …now I can only say it was prescient and prophetic………..Will the Toxic Avenger save us? …We can only hope so….

Crappy Movies that Shouldn't Suck because the Concept is so Cool, but they do Anyway.

2007-11-12T18:49:53Z

Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter, for instance. On paper, it has it all: lesbian vampires (one of whom is named Maxine Shreck), Jesus using Kung Fu (actually bad judo) powers against vampires and atheists, Santo the Mexican Wrestler saving the day, mad scientists hurling intestines around. But it all somehow doesn't work, even by really sucky movie standards.

All in all, I'd categorize it as one of the movies I wish I could see because it sounds so cool but remains forever unattainable, rather than a cool-sounding movie that I now wish I hadn't seen, because it's really just mostly annoying.

"Showgirls," anyone?

2007-11-09T17:10:52Z

"Showgirls" was a very significant movie for me insofar as it opened my mind to the concept of "So Bad It's Good." I'm now obsessed with finding any form of media (the concept doesn't apply to sex or food, unfortunately!) that is SO bad that it's hysterically funny and/or greatly entertaining.

The most exemplary moment of this concept in "Showgirls," I think, was when Nomi is sitting in the fast food joint with her future roommate (blanking on character's name), who asks her an innocuous question, "Where are you from?" And Nomi goes fully over-defensive/over-acting on this and screams "DIFFERENT PLACES!!!!!" and throws her french fries all over the place. I laugh my head off every time I see that scene.

Would love to hear y'all's own special "Showgirls" moments, or just general feedback.

There's this movie I saw on tv a few years ago that's been on my mind lately. Basically a young, attractive female demon living in Hell with her evil family decides to venture up to the earth. She does some things that she things witll redeem herself in God's eye's maybe, killing bad people in rather gory ways. Some guy falls in love with her, yadda yadda, forget how it ends, if it's by her sacrificing herself for him and she dies or if she gets to go to heaven or become mortal. Any clue what the title of this movie is from my misty memory?

New Movie that REALLY DOES suck!

2007-10-25T22:05:31Z

30 Days of Night.
Bad, just awful. I did get a few laughs, but I don't know if they meant it to be funny.
I was left with too many questions:
Why do the vampires sound like velocerapotrs?
Why drive the one machine that is actually killing the vampires into a building and blow it up?
If your goal is to blow up said monsters, why not wait until you've actually lured them in to drop the lit flairs?
If your good friend has recently been turned and is leaning over a big machine that shreds things (and you just saw it work on another vampire), why go through the torment of chopping his head off?
Even the sound editing was bad; someof the music and background sound didn't even make sense!
I want my 8 bucks back!

Total Eclipse

2007-09-20T01:48:28Z

Total Eclipse

A sepia toned melodramatic starring David Thewlis and Leonardo Dicaprio as the prententious and absinthe soaked homosexual French Poets Verlaine and Rimbaud.
Leonardo doesn't even bother to fake a French accent, and Thewlis speeks with a very Victorian English one.The paper-thin posing for profundity (as in such scenes where Dicaprio breaks a statuette of a dog that does not belong to him, the owner comes back and demands an explanation and he replies,"dogs are all liberals")
The acting is so horrid that it makes the copious underaged homosexual anal sex seems almost palatable and enjoyable in comparison.
Yet..it's hilarious - it's funny without TRYING to be funny.It's an unintentional masterpeice and classic when viewed from this angle.
Has anyone else seen it, and if so, do you feel the same way?

Unforgettable symbols from movies, TV series, music videos

Like Karate Kid had the Crane, Michael Jackson the moonwalk, Luke skywalker his lightsaber, Knight Rider KITT and the Transformers the transforming robots (I know, this doesn't really fit in, but hey, they were really original!), there must be more movies, television series and music videos that had objects, movements, pieces of clothing or other things that were kind of unforgettable and became sort of icons: people started doing it, wearing it or longing to have it. I'm not talking about people here (or the list of iconic filmstars, characters and musicians would be endless), solely objects and other things.

The Secret.

OMG, this was pure trash and worse, lies and manipulations.. A horrible materialistic message and a terrible expropriation of new ideas for personal selfish motives. There is nothing here that suggests that what we might wish for might be just a wee bit low in the scale of evolutionary values in the interest of global survival. I think the makers of the film are content with environmental catastrophe and greedy "winner takes all" mentality. Its worth seeing just to see how wrong new age thinking can go.

Remakes That Must Never Happen/Remakes That Could be Interesting

So what movies should never be remade? Besides King Kong?

Unexpected. Tom Hanks plays an asshole who joins the Peace Corps to get away from bookies. John Candy gets brainwashed by commies!

It's not technically crappy. It's well made and has stars in it at all. You kind of have to mind the silly plot that doesn't actually hang together. It's so much fun to watch that it definitely doesn't suck--with somewhat Airplane-like dialog. It's so strange and shaggy doggish though that I have no idea how it ever got out of Hollywood. It's also the first time I liked Hanks in anything.

So What About Hudson Hawk?

2007-06-14T19:02:47Z

It really was kind of a crappy movie...half comic half ? But somehow I watch it which means I don'y think it sucks.

I think that Jerry Bruckheimer deserves study as an auteur. He certainly leaves his mark. The gratuitous shrieks, the sheer multitude of large things blowing up and/or crashing into things, the smarmy dialog....

But I actually really dug Pirates III, much more than I expected. It's currently getting really horrible reviews, but I think that the people who didn't like it never tried hallucinogens. It's the trippiest, most surreal Hollywood blockbuster I've ever seen. There are a couple of truly amazing scenes--one a sort of Being Jack Sparrow Malkovich multiplicity, and two others involving mythological proliferations of little crabs.

Hollywood Redux ?

2007-06-08T14:45:35Z

So Oceans 13 is about to hit and it's better than Oceans 12 but so is a dental appointment at 4pm on Friday the 13th with a talkative dentist.
The original was a classic the first remake did a good job of updating the characters and events but Oceans 12 was a train wreck! Yes No or indifferent ???

B. Monkey

2007-05-04T20:23:32Z

I heard this was a crappy movie and rented it anyway from Netfilx. NOT SUCKY! I loved it. Of course Asia Argento is her normal beautiful self, and the plot was slightly lagging. BUT! I found it to be sweet actually, and not in the usual corny way.

B. Monkey is a crappy movie that does not suck.

Doris Wishman

2007-05-03T02:30:19Z

Is there anything rdeeming about Doris Wishman's films. I was interested that she was one of the very few female indy directors from the early 60's and so I rented "Bad Girls go to Hell" and "Another Day, Another Man." I have to say that bad directors must to go hell too.

Philosophy and the movies

2007-04-15T18:51:31Z

I recently saw "The Committee" filmed in 1968 in Great Britain with Brian Jones (who played in Manfred Man). It was written by a professor at the London School of Economics (forgot his name) and dealt with the ideas of R.D. Laing, who was a radical psychiatrist who was all the rage back then and had recently come out with a book called "The Politics of Experience." He and Aldrous Huxley were required reading for my generation of stoners. The film was ok - b bit ponderous and artifical but fun as a representation of the times, especially in more intellectually friendly GB. My question to y'all is: What films do you think address philosophy or philosophical issues directly? Any?

Some favorite 80's cheeseballs

2007-03-13T22:20:36Z

There's a certain sort of Sci-Fi/Fantasy cheese from the 80's that you just don't get anymore. A quick glance at the Sc-Fi channel schedule will show you that they still make cheesy sci-fi/fantasy movies, but it's a different flavor of cheese now.

Here's a few of my fovorites. Some are cheesier than others.
Escape from New York (1981)
Tron (1982)
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983)
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn (1983)
Krull (1983)
The Last Starfighter (1984)
Cherry 2000 (1987)

Who else has a taste for finely aged 80's cheese?

Brain Damage

2007-03-01T19:07:38Z

The wife and I watched this the other night. She wasn't impressed, but I thought it was a really entertaining film. MUCH better than Cronenberg's 'Shivers', not quite as good as last year's 'Slither', but with more personality to the slug creature.

I'm also reminded of 'Night of the Creeps', which also didn't impress the wife. I think it's safe to say she doesn't like leeches from outer space.

wow. So many cliches...the dialogue, the cinematography, the directing. THE PLOT. Sharon Stone's vagina. Just kidding on that one.

A case for 'so bad it's good' in my book.

I like the young Leonardo DiCaprio. He's a little pipsqueak.

Yeah, that was almost a downer until it was narrated by Samuel Jackson...crappy movie that turned out freakin hilarious. If you havent seen it, rent it and give it a try. Wow this sounded way too muc like a review huh?

Anybody here besides me (and Newton, of course) ever get bonked by THE APPLE?

2007-01-19T09:13:29Z

My nominee for the worst movie musical ever made (and a perverse, if sometimes numbing, treat) is Manachem Golan's 1980 messterpiece, THE APPLE (yes, it's a mess, and yes, that's supposed to be an Israeli accent). A lamebrain satire on the American music industry, written & directed by a humorless Hebrew and shot in Germany, it is the film that holds the distinction of having made a friend say, "I think my brain cells are dying." (Insert your own joke here about Jews, "shot in Germany" & dying, 'cause I won't go there.)

If you have any doubts of its unmatchably ham-handed (sheesh...lucky I'm Jewish or I'd NEVER get away with these jokes) approach to humor, please check out any of the stills I've posted. And please, if you've survived this futuristic, Biblically inspired, sexually sniggery and at times quite lunatic example of WHY movie musicals are only now coming back into fashion, share your thoughts. It will do you good to vent.

Lee Van Cleef gives his all and more to tell everyone that they're on a fools errand...but no one will listen...look for the cheezy explosions that take place in front of vehicles supposedly hit by bazookas. A seriously dummied down version of The Dirty Dozen, overly dubbed too.

Anthony Michael Hall

2006-11-10T03:05:27Z

Some actors were born to only star in bad movies - and they starred in a lot of them. If the ultimate bad actor for the 1970s was Rudy Ray Moore, then the ultimate bad actor from the 1980s was Anthony Michael Hall - Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast at Tiffanys What do you think? Am I right?

This is my new very favorite bad movie.

Who knew that Meat Loaf was kinda sexy when he was younger? It's full of cool devices all cobbled together, zany electronic genius, Alice Cooper and Deborah Harry, gorgeous Texas landscapes and all-around ridiculousness.

Besides, I thought I was the only person who wanted Alice Cooper to take my virginity when I was 14.

Rediscovered when my neighbor picked up the VHS for $1 at a thrift store. Some funny shit. Took me straight back to childhood when the older sibs were watching it and getting all the jokes. And it's got Bill Paxton!

Anyone ever get him mixed up with Bill Pullman? I just remember that Bill Pullman was Lonestar and I never forget which is which now.

horrible movies redeemed by just one scene

2006-10-08T05:06:35Z

movies are big group projects, its amazing that any turn out well at all. sometimes one artist/vision gets to shine for one brief moment through the sludge.

the horrible tomb raider flicks were worth sitting through just for that one bungy-aerial workout scene in th first one.. sigh (tho doubtless that wasn't A J. anybody know who that was?)
sexy circus skill/toy fans will know what I mean..

got any other orphan inspiring scenes to recommend? (come on, not just the nekkid ones now..)

The Warriors

2006-08-28T03:21:36Z

I can't believe I haven't seen this movie until now. Consummate violent eye candy.

It makes me want to put on some strange and stylish outfit and go around beating people up.

What would your Warriors gang outfit be? I think mine would be a missilecone bra and a pair of panties that say "Tuesday." We'd be the '50s Housewives. Our weapon would be the June Cleaver.

The Mack (1974)

2006-08-15T18:20:59Z

"The Mack" doesn't even compare to "Dolemite" in the number of bloopers, but does anyone remember the scene where Goldie says, "yeah, those bills do need to be paid" (and the camera records the look that says, "oh shit! I fucked up my line"). I guess they forgot to delete those frames from the final cut.

Loverboy (1989)

2006-07-27T08:29:01Z

Do you guys remember "Loverboy" with Patrick Dempsey? I was a pizza delivery driver for about 4 years, and nothing even remotely close to that ever happened to me. But I could always dream, thanks to that movie. I did get high a few times on the job - the customers then freaked me out; I kept thinking, "do they know I'm high?" My experience has shown that pizza delivery is a stoner-magnet industry.

I rented this on a suggestion from a friend while ago and well I had to steal this from the online rental place.

I am too tired to write about all the crazy shit cause there is TOOOOO damn much
The princess is topless with granny panties the whole movie and it also has an old jewish guy from new york playing a little kid in a boy scout uniform and it has all the music by danny elfman before oingo boingo and was directed by his brother and it has the little dude from fantasy Island as the king of the 6th demension

still too much crazy shit to write the whole damn movie is fucking nuts in an awsome way
