I’m not going to lie. The original is much better.
The original is fun ‘50′ sci-fi with that added zing of Cold War paranoia. The remake is not.
The Blob remake is the same old story: a small town, some good-lookin’ teenagers and a hobo in the woods who makes a discovery that changes his life for [...]

So, I believe the Worst Movies Ever are officially over. To those of you whose films I did not review – my apologies, but Netflix did not stock them. I still have them in my queue for the future, if and when they become available.
Rest assured, I’m using the next few days to refresh my [...]

I have been waiting for Grace for a long time.
I had heard wonderful things about Grace for a while and when I realized it was screening at AFI Dallas this week, I snapped up three tickets for the night of my birthday. Two of my friends and I went and while I managed to embarrass [...]

It’s a movie about time-traveling, mutated turtles well versed in martial arts. They have a rat for a sensei and Elias Koteas, who carries the disease known as “If-I’m-in-a-movie-it-will-suckitis”, as a friend. They travel to feudal Japan and help restore peace to a region of the country. They deal in bad action scenes, bad hair [...]

When one of my friends found out I was doing Moonraker, he said (and I paraphrase): “I love James Bond but I don’t even own that piece of shit, Caitlin”. Praise, indeed!
The nominators for this one were the sisters Pookie and Schnookie, who have long James Bond marathons and enjoy such things as Murder, She [...]

God, this thing wears thin fast.
Just My Luck involves Ashley (Lindsay Lohan), a fashionable Manhattan career girl who has everything go her way and Jake, a guy who does something involving music and who seems to be perenially cursed with awful luck. When the two inadvertently cross paths at a masquerade party and kiss, they [...]

Nothing like celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with some stereotypical, unrealistic, Lucky Charms-accented Irishmen, eh?
The Boondock Saints takes place in South Boston, where a pair of Irish immigrant twins, Connor and Murphy McManus (played by Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus) are living in near squalor, attending church faithfully and working in a meatpacking plant. A [...]

Have mercy!
I know the High School Musical series is viewed as wonderful for children, but as an adult?
I got tired of “wholesome” entertainment when I was a child. One of the perks of being an adult is that I can watch movies with sex, drugs, violence or a combination thereof ANY TIME I WANT.
The musical [...]

J.D. and I were discussing in the comments on the last post about Eli Roth’s attractiveness and I came to the startling realization that I find Mr. Roth to be hot, in that smoking hot, fan yourself and stick your head in the freezer to cool off kind of way. But! Wait! It didn’t used [...]

I felt mired in drudgery today after sitting through another – another! – Lindsay Lohan movie last night. I felt a trifle worried about finishing the worst movies ever. How would I finish? How many different ways can I say “this movie sucks” without becoming a repetitious bore? (Oops. Too late.)
And then I read John [...]
