Happy Thanksgiving!

It's the weekend for turkey, and we're serving up a juicy tidbit: our review of the most famous turkey slasher movie, Thankskilling.  The movie's premise is simple. A group of high school kids goes home for Thanksgiving break where they are attacked by a 500 year old cursed, killer turkey. This movie goes from bad to worse to almost unbearable.  But hang in there, because if you give it a second chance and a little bit of liquor, it will all get better.  Just like your family political conversations.  

Thankskilling starts out with a group of kids on Thanksgiving break.  Well, technically it starts out with a topless pilgrim being murdered by a turkey.  But that opening scene is so useless to the film the only thing we can learn from it is the pilgrim was played by Wanda Lust.

Announcement: Next screening is Samurai Cop (1989)

10/24/2013

PictureYou will be SO angry if you miss Samurai Cop!
Next screening is Friday, November 22nd.  

It should be harder to do what we do.

We shouldn't be able to find SO many awful movies to share with you all. We should have to really dig deep to find things that belong in the pantheon with gems like Troll 2, Gymkata, and Miami Connection. But sadly (or luckily?), it's all too easy, and thus we give you the latest in our list of favorite bad movies... Samurai Cop.

How did this thing even get made?! It's like the cinematic equivalent of kicking yourself in the face. Just please, please, PLEASE watch the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6OoZNdAQuA

Come watch a cop with the most glorious mullet ever put his fluent Japanese and badass ninja skills to work cleaning merciless Yakuza off the streets. This movie has everything that makes a bad movie classic: pointless nudity, random racism, actors who die 3 or 4 times because the budget couldn't afford enough actors, pathetic wigs, terrible sound and music, and much, much, MUCH more. We can't wait for you to see it.

Coming up in July, we are showing Birdemic!  This is the anniversary of our first showing last summer.  We are so excited about how great you have all been and can't wait to see the next movie with you!

If you are not familiar with Birdemic, it is the runaway winner of worst CGI ever presented in any medium.  Seriously.  Take a look.

Our next screening is Sylvester Stallone's Cobra, showing on June 21st.  It's a nonsense trip through the 80's and cop-action-dramas, filled with one liners and (oddly) product placement.  Checkout our events page for more info.  See you there.

Schwarzenegger's Back: What to Expect

4/18/2013

0 Comments

 
We are totally excited that Arnold has signed on to continue the Terminator franchise in the fifth and sixth installments.  Details on the expected release date are still a little unclear, as is what exactly we should expect from Arnold in this next phase of his career. Aging action stars returning to resurrected franchises isn't something we see too often, but it does happen.  Let's start there and see if we can guess how this thing will turn out.

For starters, what kind of comparisons are we talking about?  Schwarzenegger is now 65 years old, returning to the Terminator series 10 years after his last appearance, Terminator 3, was released (2003).  Aging actor, resurrection of a franchise, portraying an action type hero?

Same time, same deal, same bad movie. If you had to miss, or if you want to see again (we understand), come join us on the 23rd!

Winter Storm Nemo is not supposed to turn into heavy snow until later tonight, around 9 pm.  With that in mind, we are still on for hosting our screening of The Room tonight at Legends.  Doors open at 7 pm, and the movie starts at 9 pm.  There are subways just one block away from the bar, so we hope that you can still make it, as long as you can get there safely.
