Asylum films seem to hit very similar notes. No matter what the subject matter is or who directs it, certain bits will always be there, and 2012's Super Cyclone is no different. It's kinda like Sharknado with the wind going whirly-twirly, only there aren't any sharks. Or Tara Reid. Or Ian Ziering. More on that in a bit. I … Continue reading Another Day, Another Asylum Mockbuster

The Worst Titanic Movie Ever Made (So Far)
This isn't the first time I've reviewed a Titanic film for Taking Up Room, or for a So Bad It's Good Blogathon (Remember that Asylum monstrosity where the Statue of Liberty was facing the wrong way? Or how about Raise the Titanic? Yikes.). It is, however, the first time I've reviewed a Titanic film with a dog that … Continue reading The Worst Titanic Movie Ever Made (So Far)

I’ve Never Been To San Bernadino
Eeeep. So-bad-they're-good movies and food seem synonymous, reluctantly so, with food used for various nefarious and unthinkable purposes. For the very first So Bad It's Good Blogathon, if anyone remembers, I reviewed Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, an hilariously terrible cautionary tale that ended on a really weird note. This year we're plunging into the strangely … Continue reading I’ve Never Been To San Bernadino

During World War Two: Remember the Last War?
Believe it or not, World War One nostalgia was big during World War Two, or at least Hollywood tried to make it that way. Shocking, right? My parents were both little kids during the war and even they were shocked when I told them, but it was a legit thing, although it's not often talked … Continue reading During World War Two: Remember the Last War?

Et voilá, here's a new series! As of today, it's sixty-one years since Julia Child's peerless first show, The French Chef premiered, and a few months ago a fancy new edition of The French Chef cookbook became available. Naturally, I want to review it, but instead of publishing one post with the results of a … Continue reading Cooking With the French Chef: Introduction
Toe Pick. Toooooe Pick…
Look for a couple of special announcements at the end of this post. And now on with the show... I remember The Cutting Edge being kind of a big deal when I was in high school. It was edgy, it was sassy, it was a match-up between D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly, two stars who were the … Continue reading Toe Pick. Toooooe Pick…
January Movies Are Fun. So Much Fun.
Ah, January, that notorious cinematic wasteland. The repose of the How Did This Get Greenlit? movies. The repository of the Are We There Yet? flicks. The refuge of the Will Never Win Anything But Razzies pictures. So yeah, this list isn't exactly a rave. Heh. We're just gonna dive right in (click the images for … Continue reading January Movies Are Fun. So Much Fun.
