For our Saturday pizza and bad movie, we enjoyed a return to the classics—a Kaiju flick that managed to squeeze in an alien invasion. Plot: The World Space Authority is sending two astronauts, Glenn Amer (Nick Adams) and K. Fuji (Akira Takarada), to explore the newly discovered Planet X, located beyond Jupiter. (… maybe wedgedContinue reading “Review of “Godzilla vs. Monster Zero” (1965)”

Review of “The Green Slime” (1968)
We got our fill of schlock with this week’s Saturday night pizza and bad movie night movie, a romp in space depicting a death struggle with an energy-consuming and -emitting alien life form that could wipe out human existence and seem to squeal with enjoyment while doing it. And we had cheese ravioli. Plot: EarthContinue reading “Review of “The Green Slime” (1968)”
Review of “Five Million Years to Earth” (1967)
This was a bit different for our Saturday night pizza and bad movie, a flick my dearly beloved and I had seen on TV some time ago. We both remembered it in black and white because of the sets our families had back in the day. I must have been a munchkin, but I rememberContinue reading “Review of “Five Million Years to Earth” (1967)”
Review of “Attack the Block” (2011)
This was our Saturday pizza and bad movie night movie, a little something different. I’m glad it came with subtitles. Plot:On Guy Fawkes Night in South London, nurse Sam (Jodie Whittaker) walks home after work, on the phone to her mother, explaining that she got stuck at work. Young gang members— Pest (Alex Esmail), DennisContinue reading “Review of “Attack the Block” (2011)”
Review of “War of the Worlds” (2005)
Svengoolie showed The Ghost and Mr. Chicken this week. We gave it a pass. Regular readers of this blog (both of you) may be surprised that there is a movie too cheesy for me. Truth is, I saw it a couple of years ago and didn’t see the need to watch it again. Ever. Plot:DivorcedContinue reading “Review of “War of the Worlds” (2005)”
Review of “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” (1988)
This is our latest Saturday night pizza and bad movie offering. God lord. I think I need another glass of wine. Plot:While our heroes, Mike Tobacco (Grant Cramer) and Debbie Stone (Suzanne Snyder), are parked along with half the local high school at the “Top of the World,” they see a fireball streak across theContinue reading “Review of “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” (1988)”
Review of “World’s End” (2013)
This is the last of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy movies, directed by Edgar Wright and written by Wright and Simon Pegg. The first two are the zombie movie Shaun of the Dead (2004) and the parody cop buddy movie Hot Fuzz (2007). Not much is said about ice cream in this one, but aContinue reading “Review of “World’s End” (2013)”
Review of “Earth vs. The Flying Saucers” (1956)
This is another of our Saturday pizza and bad movie offerings. We watched the flick with Svengoolie. This flick was a super serious, if a bit improbable, good ol’ rendition of those horrible critters from Outer Space who want our earth, donchya know. Plot: Dr. Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) is riding back to work atContinue reading “Review of “Earth vs. The Flying Saucers” (1956)”
Review of “Alien Species” (1996)
Plot: This opens with a white blob approaching earth from space and a voiceover about a prophecy about a mighty armada dominating the earth in the year 1999. A whole lot of trouble happens. The destruction of all mankind, blah, blah, blah… Max Poindexter (Aaron Jettleson) (good character name) and Holly Capers (Barbara Fierentino) areContinue reading “Review of “Alien Species” (1996)”
Review of “Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster” (1965)
This is this week’s Saturday night pizza and bad movie offering. Good thing the pizza and cabernet were good. Plot:Bald Dr. Nadir (Lou Cutell) informs Princess Marcuzan (Marilyn Hanold) that they continue to hear “a modulated hydrogen frequency signal of twenty-one centimeters.” When the Princess asks what that means, Dr. Nadir replies he’s not sure,Continue reading “Review of “Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster” (1965)”
