Thats 90 Minutes i wont get back :(

Full disclosure.....I like crap movies. I grew up in the 70's and 80's where crap movies ruled, and believe me I have seen some crap movies. So many in fact that I do like watching cheesy crap movies now and again. Sometimes though, a movie is so crap it just isn't fun and it's a chore to watch. The Happy Time Murders is one such film. The Happy Time Murders is the story of Phil Phillips. A disgraced ex-cop turned private eye who is hired to find out who is blackmailing Sandra.  Oh and Phil just so happens to be a puppet. In a world where puppets are real and treated like second class citizens, Phil ends up getting more than he bargained for when his case turns into a murder investigation where the cast of an old 90's sitcom (including Phil's brother) start getting picked off one by one. Teaming up with his ex partner Phil tries to figure out who is killing the cast and clear his name. And that is the synopsis of the trainwreck that is The Happy Time

Beyond the Gates

The other day, i was down at my mate Mug's place for a cheesy movie day. This entailed watching a few cheesy movies and just hanging and having a laugh. The movies watched were: Battle Beyond the Stars starring Richard Thomas (The Waltons), George Peppard (The A-Team) and Sybil Danning (Howling II). The Naked Gun starring Leslie Nielson (Airplane, Due South). Smokey and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds (Hooper, Cannonball Run). And we also watched the movie i'm going to discuss....

Beyond the Gates is a story of two brothers (Chase Williamson and Graham Skipper) who while packing up their missing father's video store, come across an old video cassette board game (think Atmosphere). They decide to watch the video which is something they will soon regret. This movie was recommended by our mate John, so we sat and gave it a watch. When i was told about this movie, the first thing that poppe

Space Vampires the Movie!!!!!

There are movies that are instant hits. These are the Jaws, Star Wars, ET. Jurrasic Park. Widely loved on release and massive box office hits. Then there are the Cult classics. Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, Buckaroo Banzai and many many others. Massive failures at the box office.  Critically slated.  Box Office bombs!!  But throughout the years gained a cult following. New movie lovers being introduced to them via runs on tv, and in some instances if we are lucky companies such as Arrow Video, Shout Factory, 88 Films and others love these movies as much as we do and release them on dvd and Blu Ray so you can watch them time and again in Hi Def. And then sometimes if we are really really lucky. we get to experience them on the big screen. This happened recently to a movie i have a real soft spot for. A cult classic. A movie about a failed mission to Halley's Comet which brings about an apocalyptic event that could be the end of humanity. Thats right. the movie
