Wild Guitar (1962)

A CLASSIC

[22 April 2001]

i used to own a video store and i bought the ray steckler movies for myself. if a customer would have rented them and not returned them i would have been too upset. wild guitar is one of my favorite steckler movies. arch hall jr. is a really bad actor, but he had a hypnotic hold on his audience. i loved carolyn brandt's dancing at the theatre. this movie is so bad, but it is so good. ray steckler's movies have a strange fascination.

Salem's Lot (1979)

If You Are a Real Horror Fan, Then You Will Like This Film!

[9 December 2000]

When I say horror, I mean atmosphere, eerie, scary, terror, fantasy. But some people think horror is about showing people's limbs being ripped apart with blood flying all over the place! If you are a real horror fan, then you will like this film! Fans of gore should just watch Faces of Death instead, so they wont have to whine. Plus this is from the director The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and that film had no gore, and most of his other films don't have any, so don't expect much gore from this director, okay!!!

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Dark, Depressing, Scary - Best of the Best

[3 August 2000]

Dawn of the Dead is the best horror film of all time barnone. It shows horror in it's true form, this film is true horror folks. Romero knew completly what he was getting into when he made this amazing epic. The dark clouds, the color of the film, the blood & gore, the violence, and pure madness itself. Look up horror in the dictionary and you should see a picture from Dawn of the Dead right there.

Raising Cain (1992)

Lithgow was amazing, the movie wasn't

[20 June 2000]

This is one of John Lithgow's best performances ever, he is a very underrated actor. But now onto the movie. Pretty Much the only person to blame is: The Director Brian De Palma, most of his movies are extremely confusing, and Raising Cain is no exception. This film was a great idea, but it was executed completely wrong. But at least Lithgow gave one of the greatest peformances of his life.

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965)

Very frightful ending, one of Francis' best films

[28 May 2000]

Freddie Francis did a wonderful job directing this film as he usually does. Christopher Lee is Great as the snotty art critic, and Michael Gough is outstanding in a very small role. And of course Cushing great as always and is even better in this role as Dr. Schreck (aka Dr. Terror). All in all Dr. Terror's House of Horrors is a good film and should be watched by all British Horror Fans.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988–1999)

Genius!!!!!

[31 March 2000]

MST3K is the best show ever created!!! The funniest crap I have seen on TV!!! And anywhere else!!!! Genius!!! The best ever, cool, funny as hell!!! The best ever, please come back, this show rules, come on you cannot put this down because it kicks butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frosty (1965)

SCARY!!!!

[24 December 1999]

This is one of those so bad its scary movies. The most scariest thing was that witch person thing, the dubbed-in voice scared the hell out of me!!!!!!!!!!!. I saw it on MST3K, they did a great job of bashing the hell out of it.

Pretty scary for a family movie!.

Bringing Out the Dead (1999)

Masterful Acting, Editing, Cinematography & Directing. but weak storyline

[16 December 1999]

From an artistac stand point this film was great, but the plot was weak, but that really didn't ruin the film. With terrific supporting peformances by Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore and especially John Goodman, "Bringing Out the Dead" is one of the only good films that has come out in 1999.

Troll 2 (1990)

move over Plan 9, you have competition

[30 October 1999]

Troll 2 rivals one of the worst movies of all time, Plan 9 From Outer Space, for the crown of the worst movie of all time. Troll 2 has the worst acting I have ever seen since I was born, and the little midget Trolls look like they have been run over by big trucks.

So if your tired of watching all of those Academy Award winning films, then give Troll 2 a chance, and then give it to Goodwill.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

A Carpenter Horror Fun Fest

[26 October 1999]

This is one of John Carpenter's most fun horror movies to watch. The movie really has no meaning, at the beginning they made you think that this movie was going to make you think real hard about life, but then it let's the gore, creature & make-up effects take over the movie. The ending is confusing but it sort of sums up the whole movie. This is one of Carpenter's best movies and I recommend that you watch it.

End of the World (1977)

If you watch "End of the World", it will be the End of your Life!...

[19 October 1999]

This is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen, its horrible. Christopher Lee is good but he is hardly in it, the only the good part is the opening scene.

Don't be fooled by the title. "End of the World" is truly a bad movie, I stopped watching it close to the end it was so bad, only for die hard b-movie fans that have the brain to stand this vomit.

George Lucas in Love (1999)

Too Many "Star Wars" Refrences

[12 October 1999]

The 1st minute of "George Lucas in Love" was OK. But then, when they got to the love story, the whole film fell flat. The biggest problem with this film was the script, the editing was good, the directing good, the acting was good, but the script was pretty bad, and the Yoda spoof was horrible (and the ending was bad too).

All in all it could have been better, but it was good for what it was.

The Matrix (1999)

Unbelievable???

[4 October 1999]

"The Matrix" is definitely not Unbelievable. It could have been allot better, but, not even better enough to be Unbelievable.

The only thing I liked was the ending, which reminded of the ending of "The Transformers: The Movie". I couldn't understand what Fishburne was talking about, he kept saying something about "Real is real, real can't real, but real real real...", get what I mean. And Reeves' acting sucked. And the script was horrible.

"The Matrix" is an action movie tangled with special effects and confusing scientific plots.

Man Beast (1956)

Not as bad as you may think!

[4 October 1999]

This wasn't that bad, you only have to sit through this film for only 67 minutes, its sort of a quick story about the growing popularity of Yetis, Abdominale Snowmen, the Sasquatch, etc... in the 1950s, which grew its highest in the 70s. "Man Beast" is a fun movie too watch if you're not feeling critical about movies at the time. ... Plus, there's not as much talk in this as there is in other bad 50s b-sci fi films.

The Giant Gila Monster (1959)

Rock & Rollin' Teenagers meet The Giant Gila Monster!

[3 October 1999]

Don't rent this or buy this movie if you want to see the Monster, he is hardly in it and is not worth watching.

It's like this movie was made to kick start the main star's music career, not film career.

This is piece of garbage, but rent/buy it anyways if you like... HORRIBLY BAD BIG LIZARD MONSTER MOVIES FROM THE 1950s WITH ROCK & ROLLIN' TEENAGERS, WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC FROM THE MAIN STAR WHO SINGS SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE MOVIE.

Laserblast (1978)

One of The Greatest (Bad) Films of All Time

[2 October 1999]

You need to see this movie, this movie is great because it's lite, they don't take themselves so seriously, unlike a movie called "End of the World" (Starring Christopher Lee) which is way too serious, "Laserblast" is extremely fun. See this one if you love bad movies that turn out to be bad but fun!.

Late Show with David Letterman (1993–2015)

The Late Show is Better than ever!!!

[12 September 1999]

If you would have asked me three months ago if I thought that The Late Show with David Letterman was a good show, I would have told you to change the channel to one of the other Late Night shows. But now I have changed my tune, The Late Show with David Letterman is better than ever, and is easily funnier and more entertaining than his competition, and if you have been tuning in to watch the the other Late Night shows (Politically Incorrect - The Tonight Show), then i challenge you, to give Dave a chance and see how much better and funnier he is than those other guys.

Paul Shaffer is on the right key, and Mr. Letterman is definitely still and will always be "King of Late Night". And yes Paul and Dave are a couple of "them guys".

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

The best Star Wars Film

[12 September 1999]

"The Empire Strikes Back was not directed by George Lucas, but by Irvin Kershner and he has indeed directed a masterpiece. If you can say that any of the Star Wars films were underrated, its this one. If you get pass the special effects, you will find a wonderful love story and a story of a boy coming of age and finding out who he truly is.

If you are planning on watching The Empire Strikes Back, anytime soon make sure you see the "Special Edition", it has a much better ending than the original.

Jack Frost (1998)

Jack Frost is a bad movie

[19 August 1999]

I don't need to say anything else, Jack Frost is a bad movie. It is not good, not interesting, not funny, not fun, its just not a good movie. Michael Keaton was great as Batman and Mr. MOM, but as a snowman he snowballs.

I feel very sorry for the people who made this film, i'm sure they worked very hard, but what they have created is a big piece of a Bad movie (i wanted to use other words to express my feelings, but i am not allowed).

Late Show with David Letterman (1993–2015)

David Letterman Has Lost It.

[1 August 1999]

1999 has been a tuff year for Dave, he just doesn't care anymore. It seems that he is so behind in the Late-Night Ratings, that he has just given up, and has stopped trying.

The skits are low quality, and the interviews, seem forced and un-natural as if nobody wants to be there, and they just want to go home. It doesn't matter, if your last, or first, you should always give it your best.

I still think Dave, has the best Late-Night Show, but it could be a whole lot better, if only he would give it his all, and then maybe he could be the best, and on top.

Deep Rising (1998)

Fun to watch, but still bad...

[31 July 1999]

This flick is entertaining, but does fail as a movie. It's one of those bad movies that you can watch over and over again and still like it the same way.

Watch it for fun, don't watch it if you're expecting "The Godfather".

Porklips Now (1980)

Better then Apocalypse Now!

[31 July 1999]

This movie is way way better then "Apocalypse Now".

It's not too funny. But You'll be able watch this without fast-forwarding through it.

Skip "Apocalypse Now" but pick this one up at your local video store.

Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind (1980)

It will give you nightmares for weeks and weeks to come...

[31 July 1999]

This is the kind of movie that will give you horrible nightmares for weeks and weeks to come.

This movie is a parody of Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of a Third Kind"

"Closet Cases" is an extremely stupid short film parody.

But I recommend that you watch it because it is a very bad movie.

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)

People just don't get it!

[14 July 1999]

"Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" is the best of the sequels because of it's darkness and great science fiction & historical story line, some people might say that the apes shouldn't have evolved so quickly, but that is not true because Caeser has already evolved and that is because he is the son of Cornelius and Zira who were from the future and had the power of speech!.

So it seems to like any of the Apes films is to actually be a fan, I say that you can't criticize this kind of movie unless your'e a true fan, in which I'am!.

+ "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" was the worst of the sequels!.

Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999 TV Movie)

half bad, half good

[21 June 1999]

"Pirates of Silicon Valley" was an OK movie, an above average made-for-TV-movie. Hall & Wyle gave dead-on performances as Gates & Jobs.

The first hour was mostly un-humorous humor, with stuff like Jobs stoned and Gates driving a bulldozer. The second hour was much better, with a deeper look at Job's demise and Gate's rise.
