Betty Boop's Ker-Choo (1933) - 14 Sep 2009
"Do we Boop? Oh fuck yeah we Boop. Dave Fleischer cartoons are much better than most of the toons produced today as it is, but this really hits the spot. Enormously funny and charming from start to finish"

Seryy Volk end Krasnaya Shapochka (1990) - 06 Nov 2009
"Simply outstanding from start to finish. Very creative and funny, and full of stolen characters and stolen music... which therefore ensures that you'll never see this, ever, in a real theater or on "real" video. A few judicious websearches will enable you to see it for free; would be worth most conceivable fees to see it"

Basket Case 3: The Progeny (1992) - 10 Sep 2008
"More like comedy than serious horror, but, considering the material and the director, that seems perfectly appropriate. So funny and completely off-the-chart weird that it's a minor delight"

Tune in Tomorrow... (1990) - 17 Oct 2008
"Charmingly strange little movie about a young man chasing his sexy aunt, helped along the way (if "helped" is the right word) by an eccentric scriptwriter. Along the way we keep leaving the "real" storyline for interludes into the writer's deranged radio drama, which is studded with star cameos. A fun movie that also has something to say, and it's not what you might think. I don't think there's any other film quite like it"

Reefer Madness (1936) - 13 Jun 2007
"Bad but fascinating in its crudity, cheapness, hilarious ignorance of marijuana, and sheer hypocrisy"

Night of the Ghouls (1959) - 31 Mar 2007
"Very much in the Ed Wood tradition of being so bad it's priceless. Not to be missed"

Nayakan (1987) - 02 May 2009
"My first Bollywood film (actually Kollywood, but why split hairs). I know all about how Kamal Hassan is a legend in India and actually has his own human services organization to help the poor, etc., etc., etc., but this movie feels like a junior high school pageant. Clearly, the makers of this movie want it to be _The Godfather_ really friggin' bad (Hassan even stuffs cotton in his mouth Brando-style at one point) but this isn't it. The obligatory musical numbers make it even more silly"

Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971) - 23 Nov 2009
"This is an awful movie, but it's so fascinating. One of the central locations is a low-budget freak show, and that's exactly what this whole movie is. Naish and Chaney, both dying men at this point, going through the motions as yet another mad scientist and yet another Lennie variation. Russ Tamblyn as a biker who keeps wandering in and out of the movie. An astonishingly large number of name actors for a production this shoddy. Risibly inept makeup, photography, scripting, direction, etc., etc."
