Monster Shack Movie Reviews

Here’s a cool teaser/trailer from Larry Doyle. In his own words: “What if the movies that glowed from drive-in screens from the ’50s and ’60s weren’t fantasies but really happened? In Go, Mutants!, Larry Doyle has created a world populated with the monsters, aliens, and mutants of B-movie legend, with all the beach parties, dances, fist fights, and hotrod races of classic teen dramas. An unforgettable era of pop culture is brought to life in an uproarious mash-up filled with Romance! Danger! Intergalactic Conspiracy! Molting!

Larry Doyle is the author of “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” which won the 2008 Thurber Award for American Humor. “Go, Mutants!” has been acquired by Imagine Entertainment and Universal pictures. Doyle, a former Simpsons writer, is writing the screenplay.”..

Boy, I really had to force my way through this piece of crap; but because I luv you guys, I manned up, gritted my teeth, and sat through one of the longest 93 minutes of my life.

They Saved Hitler’s Brain

I don’t know if it’s really possible to enjoy this movie (I sure as hell didn’t), but go ahead and check it out if you dare.

So 2010 has started with a cold snap here in the land of Monster Shack. Temps of -20 c. have kept my fingers frozen, and review typing is slow, but progress is steady. To top things off, 3 of 4 family members have the flu…Huzzah! Such fun. Hoping to have something new posted in a bit…January is always rough for me, so hang in there folks.

Otherwise, it’s snowing now at around 7:30 am. I’ll be driving my kids to school in about a half hour then back home to work. (Thank goodness for Remote Desktop…sorry for geeking out.) We have about 2 feet of snow, which is fine by me: I love snow.

Hope everybody is doing well, drop in a comment and let me know how you’re doing so we can fill these long, dark January days.

First, I want to wish everybody a great start to the new year!

(Can it really be 2010 already? Yikes!)

Anyways, I’d like to help some guys out by pointing you to their film called She-Rex

Here’s the trailer:

If it looks interesting to you, then why not dig into your wallet and support some independent film makers by buying a copy over at Amazon:

cheers!

Lady in the Water (2006)

Yes, Sean sneaks one past the goalie and grabs the coveted Last Review of the Year award. Damn. I thought I had it sewed up for sure.
It’s a recent film by the guy whose name I can never remember, and can certainly never spell. Something with “Night” in it. You know. The guy behind “Signs” and “The Sixth Sense”. Yeah. Him. Well, this movie has monsters, a Lady, and, er, some water. How should I know? I didn’t see it. I’m just taking Sean’s word for it.

Anyway, thanks again Sean for using your valuable free time to help out this odd little site. Always appreciated.

Happy holidays, everybody!

There. Now it’s official!

Now that the holidays are just around the corner, I’ll be busy eating too much, drinking too much, and staying up too late. Perfect!
I hope to be seeing everybody in 2010 for yet another year of crappy movies!
Cheers!
The Capture of Bigfoot

Thanks to Karl for sending me a fresh set of crazy sci-fi DVDs to take a look at. I just couldn’t resist taking a closer look at this one:
The Day Time Ended

Thanks again, Karl, for the new material to dig through!

Thanks to Brian for sending this link to me; it looks like Brain and the Guys have put together a cool homage to all the crappy movies we love. In his words:
“”Monsters on the Way” is an original tribute song to b-movies from
Scotland by VBF and Neil Robertson. Fron Ed Wood to the 50ft [...]

I was getting sentimental for my all time favorite MST3K shorts. The opening skit from their “War of the Colossal Beast” episode. Yes, it’s Mr. B Natural: The weirdest, creepiest, most adrogynous character ever conceived.
Here’s part 1 for your enjoyment,
