Knucklebones – High Art Cinema
I love a good bad movie. I love the entertainment value of a film that was never meant to be funny, or goofy but still ends up that way. Sadly, movies like the straight to VHS horrors, and sleazy action films that made up a solid staple of past cheese watching are...
Peelers – Oil of The Damned!
Peelers – Oil of The Damned! By Bob Blaschuk At first glance Peelers looked like the type of funny sleazy horror I would enjoy. I mean, look at that poster and tell me you don't think the people who made this film have a good sense of humor. While it is funny, and at...
Exeter – Jam Jars and Cheesies
Exeter – Jam Jars and Cheesies By Bob Blaschuk I don't need a movie to be good to enjoy it. To me, there is an art to making a movie that fails so badly on every level that it becomes good again. Still, for every film that can reach that level, there are a seemingly...
I’m Rubber, You’re Glue: The True Story of an 80’s Monster Maker – Book Review
A fun and laid back memoir about a Regular Joe special effects artist trying to get a leg up in the industry, I'M RUBBER AND YOU'RE GLUE reads more like a casual diary then a tell-all memoir. Shannon Shea is an effects artist that has worked on some of the biggest...
The Curse of Sleeping Beauty – She Ain’t Pretty, She Just Looks That Way.
The Curse of Sleeping Beauty – She Ain't Pretty, She Just Looks That Way. By Bob Blaschuk I decided to watch The Curse of Sleeping Beauty solely based on the cover, which has never really been a good way to pick entertaining films. I knew nothing else about this film...
Canada’s Rip-Off (1971)
Rip-Off is the lighthearted tale of a bunch of Toronto teens struggling with the reality of finishing high school. They pull pranks, they play in a band and they chase girls as they try to come to terms with the existential angst of the future. It's like a high minded...
Son of Kong (1933)
Son of Kong (1933) By Justin Decloux How do you follow up one most monumental pieces of entertainment in human history? You make a quickie seventy minute sequel and release it nine months later. Son of Kong has been forgotten to the sands of time. Its a footnote,...
Ator, The Fighting Eagle – Conan The “PG” Barbarian.
Ator, The Fighting Eagle – Conan The "PG" Barbarian. By Bob Blaschuk Oh, Ator, I have a special place in my heart for you. I remember watching the "Cave Dwellers" episode of MST3K and loving the weird, hilarious, and bizarre world of Ator. At the beginning of "Cave...
Knights (1993) – A Cyborg Swordsman Romp
Knights (1993) - A Cyborg Swordsman Romp By Justin Decloux Is this going to be Good Pyun or Bad Pyun? It's a question I ask myself every time I watch one of the films of writer/director Albert Pyun. The man worked furiously in the 90s to deliver all kinds of VHS ready...
Blood Punch – Fruity Looper
I admit that I can be a negative person when it comes to a lot of low-budget films. Which is a bit odd since some of my favourite films fit into the low budget "so bad it's good" class. Still, when I watch a film with a smaller budget and big ambitions for some reason...
