Revisit

One of my favorite blaxploitation films ever and the subject of last week's Junkfood Cinema. Give it a read, won't you?

The subject of this week's (read last week's) Terror Tuesday Report. I will save my thoughts for that and then link it here.

Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2008)
1st View
Format: Blu-ray (Thanks Severin!)
Venue: Rivendell
Not since Plan 9 From Outer Space has a film this inept fostered such instant endearment. It has been ages so I laughed this hard while watching a film. Movies like this are the antidote to cinematic pretension and that is why I love them so much.

Dragonslayer (1981)
1st View
Format: VHS
Venue: Rivendell
Dragonslayer may be dry and a little rough around the edges but it has some interesting religious commentary and some of the very best practical dragon effects I have ever seen. Young Peter MacNicol creeps me out.

Dark Star (1974)
1st View
Format: VHS
Venue: Rivendell
Directed by John Carpenter, co-written by Dan O'Bannon, who also stars, Dark Star is a prime example of why copious amounts of cannabis and filmmaking do not mix. Boring, silly, and fraught with horrendous jokes that would only elicit a giggle from the incredibly stoned.

Madhouse (1974)
1st View
Format: Netflix WI
Venue: Rivendell
Enjoyable, self-referential Vincent Price horror flick that suffers from being not as neatly packaged as Theater of Blood. Interesting tidbit, an alternate title for the film was The Madhouse of Dr. Fear...despite the fact that no character in the movie is named Dr. Fear.

Cobra (1986)
Revisit
Format: Netflix WI
Venue: Rivendell
Awesomely bad flick from, as far as I'm concerned, the golden age of Stallone. Whether you appreciate the movie legitimately or ironically--or even if you hate it--it's hard to deny Marion "Cobra" Cobretti is among Stallone's most badass characters. He is a complete asshole who does not give a fuck about anything and has no problem icing melon farmers who break the law. From the director of Rambo, Leviathan, AND Tombstone? Hell to the yeah!
