It’s finally October, my favorite month of all! It’s the time of year when the sun turns to gold, shadows stretch across all surfaces, and dry leaves begin their dance along the roadside. With Halloween just around the corner it’s the perfect time to get those cameras rolling and shoot some zombies.

White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi, marked the emergence of our interest in the living-dead and their insatiable hunger for the living. With Zombieland currently at the top of the box office, and grossing $25 million in its first weekend, there’s sure to be an onslaught of zombie movies in the days to come.

Yup, that’s right. It’s time for another list! You guys asked for one… oh wait you didn’t?

huh, well here it is anyway:

The Top 10 B-Movies of All Time

(Now before I begin this one let me explain why I enjoy b-movies, not all of them are “bad” and not all of them are “bad without knowing.” A lot of the time, these movies show true effort within a given budget. Sometimes it’s the process of working within that budget that creates the “bad” in the movie. So for me, I enjoy the effort put into these movies to see just how well the director utilized the means that was given to them. Read the rest of this entry »

Hello everybody. The best looking blogger in history is back with yup, another list! Why? Because of how important my opinion is that’s why. Because if everyone on earth can Tweet about “when they go to sleep, when they wake up & what they are having to breakfast and when they are driving to work…” Then I too, can claim that I am SO important that people MUST know what my thoughts are, concerning EVERYTHING. So let us get to it, shall we?

This time we are going to be looking at what I think are the Top 5 Worst Movies Ever Made. Yesterday, we looked at the best and today we will switch gears and talk about the ugliest. Feel free to challenge my list by the way, chances are you are wrong… And I will tell you why.

5.) Twilight – horrible example of mainstream trash stuffed down the throats of a very young, gullible female demographic. Movies this insulting and blatant are one level above propaganda in their efforts to rally an audience. Very bad editing with multiple mistakes.

4.) LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE- did you read the title?

3.) Troll 2 – generally regarded as the worst modern film ever made. The plot you ask? Well it’s a sequel.

2.) Eegah! – about a giant caveman discovered by a teenage girl, who is then kidnapped by him, who then falls in love with him, who then runs from him, who then….. never mind.

1.) Laserblast – tops my list. Without question. The editing is so bad here I have used this as an example of what not to do for lectures before. Awful lighting, dialog, camera work and oh yeah, acting. Plot centers around a man who finds a laser. Yup. Then his woes with a teenage girl, since he is apparently in high school… even though he looks 35.

And has a laser.

I’m a Behind the Scenes freak and a Movie Science geek. Anything that explains how movies are made, from the magic of Hollywood to the innovations of the garage-effects producer, I’ll watch.

I’ve been laid up for the past two days recovering from dental surgery and I  pulled out a bunch of my favorite movies that have extensive behind-the-scenes (BTS) footage and How It’s Made stories. My favorites are when the directors’ commentaries explain the ingenious tricks they used that help make the movie production possible. Read the rest of this entry »
