CHEEZE-O-RAMA!

[furtech]

K0he Sci Fi Channel is having a "made-for" festival of films tomorrow (Sunday): a bad-movie bonanza! Looks like apocolyptic future + mutants! Sounds like a great day to do some heavy-duty house-cleaning!

Right now I'm watching another "made-for", a giant monster made-for called, "Reptilian". Ridiculous plot, bad dialogue and one-take acting. Great stuff! And even though the monster is bad CG (boo!), at least they show it a LOT (as opposed to trying to hide its mediocraty with flash-cuts).

EDIT: Oh, now I get it! "Reptilian" is the re-named piece of Korean cheese, "Yongary"! That explains the good miniatures and bad mattes! They should have stuck with foam goliaths!

Heh, sounds like some good quality cheese, I'll have to keep an eye out for it if it ever returns. I did record (and fast-forward through) Sabertooth and except for a couple of fun/silly CGI shots of the monster, the movie really stank. I've heard Dog Soldiers was somewhat decent though.

Ah, thank you for the cheesy movie, Sci-Fi channel. Too bad they had to go and cancel MST3K, they could've released their films direct to Mike and the bots.

"Dog Soldiers" was excellent: tight little werewolf film that made the most of a limited budget. Perfect for B-movie house-cleaning or just a breezy viewing. And they used *real* costumes for the werewolves-- none of that CG crap!

Joel Hodgeson is deserving of a MacArthur Grant!
