RC Material has officially been started!

Just shipped off my interview questions to S. Michael Phillips, the director of "Hippes." (Read my review HERE!) I sort of e-mailed him the questions out of the blue (it's been at least a month, maybe two, since I last spoke with him), so hopefully he'll be game and that'll be one less thing to worry about toward the end of the month. I still have four screeners to look at and review as well as my January 2007 Genre Watch (plus a bonus 2007 theatrical preview!) plus I'm toying with the notion of writing up an article about either GAMERA or DAIMAJIN! (Decisions, decisions!) Well that's it for me, I'm beat and have another fun day of work ahead of me tomorrow. Blog ya later b-movie fans!

Vault DVD Shop Updated! See ya on Tuesday!

Hey folks, I've just updated the B-Movie Film Vault DVD Shop! CLICK HERE to see what's available on Tuesday and CLICK HERE to check out the rest of the cult DVD releases for the rest of December! I'll be working tomorrow morning at the video store, then driving to Scranton afterwards to spend quality time with the girlfriend and to do a teeny bit o' Christmas shopping. So hang tough until I get home on Tuesday guys and gals and keep fighting the good fight for b-movie lovers everywhere until my return! ;-)

Oh yeah, before I forget, here's a little update on what I'll be working on over the next few weeks. I'm going to be working on my stuff for the January issue of Rogue Cinema during what little "off-time" I have this coming week. (So far I only have four screeners to review and I plan on having one or two articles and interviews ready for the next issue if all goes well.) If I manage to get most or all of it done, then I'm going to leap right into my next two reviews for the Vault ("The Beast of Hollow Mountain" and "The Valley of Gwangi.") ASAP! Also keep an eye out for updated older reviews that may be popping up unannounced at the site!

Well time to get some sleep! Blog ya later cult movie fans!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" freakin rules! I've just completed watching the film for the third time and I still can't get over the amazing CGI effects (at this rate, in another decade or so, they may just perfect the technology)! Though many people (critics and casual viewers alike) have complained that the film packs "too much" into its running time, I for one am more than satsified with the final product. Along with the great cast (mmmm.... Keira Knightley is SO YUMMY lookin'!) of likeable characters, awesome music, and amazing effects, the film also delivers one of the most frustrating finales ever! If you've seen the movie you know exactly what I'm talking about! I can't wait to see "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." Last I (think I) heard, the film was due out for a May or June 2007 theatrcial release! Yeehaw! I can't wait to see me more sea monsters, pirates, and Keira Knightley! (::drool::) If you decide that you need to buy this film, don't hesitate to get it at the Vault's DVD Shop!

New review up at at the Vault!

My review for "The Monster Squad" is now online! You can read it HERE! This is one of my longest reviews yet and the movie definitely deserves it because it's been a favorite of mine for nearly two decades! In other news, I've just ordered two copies of Gwoemul (a.k.a. The Host) and they are on their way! HOORAY! This Korean monster film is getting praise by critics the world over and I'm very much looking forward to it. Region 0 (legit, Hong Kong) DVDs are available all over eBay! (Just in case you were wondering, yes one of those "Host" DVDs is mine, the other is a Christmas gift for a close, personal, kaiju-loving friend!)

Well gotta get to work! Later everyone!

Fatigue conquers all.

I did another large chunk of work on my review for "The Monster Squad." It should be up by tomorrow because there's not too much left to go. (Normally I'd stick it out and finish things up, but I'm so damned tired!) I'm nearly done with the PLOT section and then I just have to fill up the EXTRAS section with some recommended viewing and cool trivia about the film. This is definitely one of my largest reviews to date, but that's just fine because I LOVE THE MONSTER SQUAD! Anyway, time for bed! Keep an eye on the Vault tomorrow night to catch the new review!

Just a little bit more to go....

I don't have much left to do on my review for "The Monster Squad" folks. Tonight I'm going to finish up the PLOT, FILM REVIEW, and EXTRAS sections and get this sucker uploaded! After this, I plan on fixing up a few more older reviews and getting those uploaded, then it's time to unleash my Dino-Western Double Feature upon an unsuspecting populace! MWAHAHAHAHA! This Vault mini-event will feature reviews for "The Beast of Hollow Mountain" and "Valley of Gwangi," the two best known dinosaur/westerns ever made. (Actually, were any more films in this odd sub-genre ever made?)

Also, here's a little tidbit of info concerning a possible new section at the Vault: A Reader/Guest Reviews section! Andrew, a member of my (IT CAME FROM THE VAULT) Forums popped the question last night and will be sending in a few reviews for me to take a look at. If they're any good, I'll put them up at the Vault and the Reader/Guest Reviews section will be born.

Well it's time for me to go to work. (Blah...)
Catch ya later!

The Monster Squad (1987) - Review coming soon at the Vault!

Just a little update concerning my next update for the B-Movie Film Vault. I'm about 60% done with my review for "The Monster Squad," one of the greatest, hippest, and most beloved teen-oriented monster films of the 80s! I freakin' love this movie and I really wish it would get a decent (and legit) DVD release. Anyway, stay tuned folks. I'll let ya'll know when the review is uploaded!

In the meantime, won't you please visit the IT CAME FROM THE VAULT forums and take part in any of the various cult movie discussions that myself and three other hardcore b-movie fans are engaging in?

Catch ya later!
