Dale and Tucker Versus Evil. I watched it twice last night because I liked it so much the first time. Cool premise. Tons of gore. Sweet story in a way.

I just watched [Mutant Girls Squad](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590796/) on Netflix. Lots of blood, lots of fun!

Do the _Fast and the Furious_ movies count as cheesy? I got the box set of all five, though number six is being filmed right now, and I was warned that numbers 2 and 3 are really awful so I ought to skip them. But, I thought, they can’t be _that_ bad, and watched about ten minutes of _2 Fast 2 Furious_ before switching off in despair at the incompetent directing. It was justhorrifyingly bad. So I watched _Fast 4_ and _Fast 5_ and they were rollicking great fun, if complete nonsense.

_Tucker & Dale_ is cinematic greatness dressed in a set of coveralls.

\*Sharktopus \*was the latest but if I get a chance, this weekend it will be _Iron Sky_.

Good to hear - this one has been staring at my from my Netflix page from the day I signed up, and I’ve been wondering if it’s any good.

I recently finished up a Rudy Ray Moore Film Festival with my Uncle Robert. I really enjoyed “Dolemite” & “The Human Tornado” —“Disco Godfather” was okay but I have to say that the cheesiest one of them all would have to be “Petey Wheatstraw, The Devil’s Son-In-Law.”

Classic Line: “RO-mance without FI-nance is a NUI-sance!”

I’ve already started to watch parts of each movie. I’ll get back to you after I’ve had time to see one completely.

BTW, is there a listing of all such movies somewhere?

I recall one that starts out with a “telethon”-like newsroom scene with estimates on boards of each nations’ missing. At some much later point a replay is shown by the news analysts of a raptured vocal star. It’s during a performance, and he disappears, mic, mic cable, and all.

* * *

In another movie, some men are in an underground bunker, puzzled by the chaos going on above-ground, and they decide to use the computer to search the Bible for prophecies that may apply. The outputs are made vocally, with an artificial female voice, IIRC. There may also have been large-screen outputs of the citations.

The movie ends with one solitary man (and I’m not sure whether the others are dead, have gone to the outside world, or are just busy elsewhere) at a computer station, finally coming across the part about the Mark of the Beast. He gathers that it may just perhaps be a huge mistake to take the Mark.

But it’s too late.

He slowly opens the palm of his hand and says something like “Oh, no.”

Indeed it is. It’s one of my annual Christmas/New Year movies, along with _Better off Dead_, and my most recently-viewed cheesy movie, _[Get Crazy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Crazy)_. It’s a little unorthodox, I know, but I just got an urge so I didn’t wait for the holidays. I’m a little crazy like that sometimes. Just don’t even try to stop me. You know. . . 'cause you can’t.

Anyway, it’s up on YouTube if you’re up for a movie full of sex and drug jokes based around a fictionalized version of the Filmore East. That’s a good thing, as it’s not available for purchase. I only have it because I bought it on VHS off Ebay 10 years ago and converted it to AVI. Here’s it’s entry on [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com). Again, it’s not for sale, but there are 23 reviews on it dating from 2002, from folks who REALLY want it released. You can sign up to be notified by email if it ever gets released. Don’t hold you breath though, as I’ve been waiting since Bush’s first administration.

The music is surprisingly fun, even though half of the featured performers aren’t even musicians by trade.  
Enjoy.

Just last week: [Chronicle](http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chronicle/).

Ridiculously cheesy, yet enjoyable.
