Hometown Honeys (1986)
Awesome theme song
While I remember the plumber's scene, the real standout was the theme song, which has a GoGos- esque sound. It's one of the reasons I'm posting this review. I finally found the movie online and I'm trying to download it just for the theme song.
It is dated, that's true of anything about 20+ years old or 37 at this time of writing, but some of these old films are fun to watch for the bad acting.
The characters while lame are interesting and fun, and the story moves along pretty well. Get ready to laugh when the plumber Barry misses his mark and has an accident on his work apprentice, who legitimately (not acting) doesn't seem really happy about it.
Go Fuck Yourself (2005)
THE WORST
Someone had a copy of this thing so I watched, and I don't know how anyone was supposed to be aroused as women turn the men down when asking for sex by saying "Go fvck yourself."
There was hardly any action, and just the idea of the men being turned down by women saying they didn't want anything from them was really something that made me wonder why anyone would think this idea would work as far as getting people excited by these scenes of being turned down.
I could understand if the ladies said the tag line, and then said "we'll do it my way", but that was not the case here.
Worst idea in the history of porn.
I Was a Teenage Zombie (1987)
The score at the end
Yes, the musical score where the zombie picks up his dream girl and carries her into the water is the best part of this movie.
A few interesting bits of gore, but this wasn't an easy watch, mostly due to the audio and video quality ... along with the plot and acting.
The 2 girls were cute, but that's about it.
Some reviews say this is a memorable film, but I honestly didn't remember one thing about it until I heard the Violent Femmes song.
Glad I stayed for the end to record the score, because the 2 composer's did a nice job creating a somber yet hopeful atmosphere as the 2 characters drifted into the river.
Dear President Obama (2016)
Ugh, no good.
Typical uninformed progressive thinking pushing an agenda while doing nothing more than pitching idealistic and unrealistic trash.
Dealing with ideologies that aren't based on anything but skewed information.
Killdozer (1974)
You're watching this because you know it's going to suck.
That's right, a pretty bad movie is what's in store for you right here.
A meteorite with an alien lifeform makes contact with a D9 tractor blade and takes over the controls. Robert Urich (McCarthy) is the first to die, and that's really sad, because apparently, he had some sexual tension with Dutch, as they looked forward to late night swimming, frolicking and drinking.
Next, the dozer needs an inspection, because Lloyd is noticing something strange as he was losing control of the tractor. At some point, the D9 goes out of its way to destroy communications with the mainland, leaving these construction workers cutoff.
Now that they're stranded, the D9 goes on the attack, killing Beltran, a hard working African American man, just trying to make a living. This is a fantastic setup, as Beltran is driving the D9, it takes over, he leaps from the D9, but his legs fail him. For some reason, despite the tractor being about 50 yards from him, he can never quite stand up. He prefers to roll on the ground, which is an odd choice of things to do, because even a moderately fast walking pace can outrun the D9. Beltran makes his final move as he jumps into an easily crushed section of pipe. I guess he didn't even want to see his own death, as we really didn't get to see it either.
The movie plods along about as quickly as the D9, with Dutch telling more about his sensual exploits of late night swimming with McCarthy, and tries to talk Chub into a late night encounter of prancing to the water for a frolicking good time. One can only imagine the passion that could've sprouted considering the situation of knowing this D9 tractor was attempting to cut your life short.
Sadly, it appears that Chub doesn't want Dutch to realize that his nickname is Chub for a reason, and he declined what could've been the best moment of the film.
Next, Chub is taken out when, for some strange reason, he can't maneuver his vehicle, capable of at least 80mph out of the way of the Killdozer. Definitely a tear jerker, because I'm quite sure Dutch would've eventually had his moonlit encounter, sans undies.
Moving along rather slowly, Dutch sits in his jeep, which won't start, in a scene reminiscent of Austin Powers, where the henchmen is run over by a stream roller, rolling about 1mph. Dutch apparently was saying "screw it, I'm going down with the jeep", when he could've easily sauntered away.
Now, enough spoilers, let's just hint that the end of the movie was taken from the 1951 version of The Thing From Another World.
As others mentioned, it appears movies like Maximum Overdrive took from this, along with a few others. This is also why those were horrible films too.
This is a MUST WATCH for anyone who likes bad movies that just make the edge of being entertaining enough to not fall asleep through. Also, at some points, you can catch a glimpse of the driver in the D9 through the slats in the tractors "fabricated for movies" cab.
The Love Boat: The Minister and the Stripper/Her Own Two Feet/Tony's Family (1978)
Tony's family, not good enough?
An okay episode, but what I found disgusting and disturbing is the fact that Tony's family had to hide from the captain.
In what way could the captain decipher actual paying travelers, or a crew members family? Was it based on their nationality?
They couldn't be served food on deck? They had to eat leftovers in a small cabin?
