Joe Versus the Volcano Seemingly every character actor available at the time. Rates about 8.5 on a scale of one to Caddyshack for the number of lines my friends and I will repeat. And because of this movie, nobody in my family will ever again say, “I don’t know - get something with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in it” when I’m leaving for Blockbuster. ---

_Dead Heat_ Treat Williams and Joe “where am I now” Piscopo investigate zombie jewelry store robbers. ---

\*\*Army of Darkness and The Hills Have Eyes \*\*. Both hilarious upon repeated viewings. ---

How can no one have mentioned the _The Phantom Menace_ yet? Bad dialogue, confusing story, bad acting, and of course Jar Jar. IMHO the only redeeming features of this flick were the special effects, fight scenes, and the fact that the movie is a Star Wars flick. Of course I own it on DVD. **Tars** , thanks for reminding me of the _Naked Killer_, a definite bad movie I love. A Hong Kong flick with gratuitous sex and violence and little plot to speak of. I don’t know whether to cheer or laugh when the hero is clutching his poisoned girlfriend at the end of the movie, kisses her and then shoots his shotgun at the stove with the leaking gas to blow up the house and commit a lovers’ suicide. Definite Shakespeare gone wrong there. That got the nostalgia kicking. I remember seeing _The Naked Killer_ at the Charles Street Theater in Baltimore, a great place for foreign and indie flicks. I have bittersweet memories about seeing _Nadja_ (a two hour MTV video about vampires gone bad) and _The Addiction_ (a two hour philosophical thesis on the nature of evil gone bad using vampires) there. Those were both just bad movies. Oh, and **Ralph** , the swinging on a star bit does get my foot tapping. ---

The mention of _Dead Heat_ & Treat Williams reminded me of **Deep Rising** , which is about as good as a bad movie can get. Famke Janssen, wet, on jet-skis in a luxury cruise liner being chased by a giant worm monster that sucks people through toilets. Plus a _brilliant_ ending. This is the movie that _The Mummy_ guy made before _The Mummy_, and it’s better in just about every way. ---

**Earth Girls are Easy** It’s a musical. Ooooh, yeah. ---

In the comedies, **UHF** and **Amazon Women on the Moon**. Both very corny, but I enjoy them for what they are, Horror, quite a few **Evil Dead flicks** which are pretty campy, but funny. Same with the Campy Pseudo Lovecraft films \*\* Re-animator, Bride of Re-animator and from beyond \*\*. The 2nd half of \*\* Dagon \*\* Felt more like camp then good horror, but I liked it. Oh, and of course, \*\* The Blair Witch Project \*\*, just because there is no bad Rubber suit or bad CGI monster that isn’t scary, but rather subtle clues.
