![]() | Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (Widescreen)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $11.38 The Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie is now back on DVD again! Yay! If only they revived the show....
|
![]() | Popeye
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.64 Robert Altman attempts a family movie. Filmed in Malta,Robin Williams stars as the obnoxious,spinach-eating sailor. Since it's a movie aimed at the young 'uns,the plot is about how people suffer under burdensome taxes.
|
![]() | Final Justice
Buy used from: $1.93 Joe Don Baker resumes his role as Geronimo,the Texan policeman. This time he's pursuing the Mafia on Malta.
|
![]() | The Ex (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.50 Thanks to Malta,we can enjoy the sight of Jason Bateman shirtless. Other than that,this movie is wretched,with Bateman and Zach Braff as colleagues fighting over Braff's wife,Amanda Peet.
|
![]() | Danger: Diabolik
Buy used from: $14.01 The late John Philip Law stars as an art thief. Hilariously bad and psychedelic! This movie inspired the recent Speed Racer movie as well as the Beastie Boy's "Body Movin'" video.
|
![]() | Peanut Butter Solution
Buy used from: $23.99 A boy wants to regrow his hair. His friends wants hair... down there. Apply the peanut butter solution, listen to Celine Dion, and wonder "won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?"
|
![]() | Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.47 It's no wonder the young lead retired from acting after this annoying movie. Gene Wilder is the Annoying Candyman,and there are plenty of terrible songs,and those Oompa Loompas (midgets with spray-on tans and green hair)
|
![]() | Rock My World
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.85 Alicia Silverstone's career vanished after Clueless. In this movie,she stars as a member of the group "Global Heresy." She gets two elderly English nobles,Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright,to "rock out." No wonder Silverstone is baring all for PETA&hawking vegan mayonnaise in Rachael Ray's mag.
|
![]() | Rosebud (1975)
Buy used from: $3.72 Otto Preminger's penultimate movie,and Kim Cattrall's debut. It's a Middle Eastern "thriller." Preminger wondered what to do with a leading man with one lung,one kidney,and who beat up movie critics... who can blame him?
|
![]() | Wild Orchid
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.99 An incredibly unerotic "erotic" thriller. Mickey Rourke stars as an alienated gazillionaire,and his then real-life girlfriend Carre Otis. Plenty of nudity,no heat. No heart either.
|
![]() | North
Buy used from: $5.48 Roger Ebert,who famously loves ALL the movies he's seen,hated hated hated hated hated this movie. With Julia Louis-Dreyfus in an early role. Elijah Wood as an annoying boy genius (is there any other kind?) and Bruce Willis in a pink bunny suit.
|
![]() | Love's Labour's Lost
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.99 Kenneth Branagh turns Shakespeare's light comedy into a pretentious '30s musical. Kill it with music! Alicia Silverstone disappeared after this one.
|
![]() | The War
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.49 Kevin Costner had begun his Pretentious Movie Spree of the '90s. This one is a message film set in the South during the '60s. The message is "war is bad." Ironic the young lead ended up in an epic about the War of the Ring,and that fighting orcs&Ringwraiths is good.
|
![]() | The Postman
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.05 Kevin Costner as a heroic postman in post-apocalyptic Oregon. Oregon deserved better.
|
![]() | Waterworld
Buy used from: $2.30 Kevin Costner battles Dennis Hopper on the high seas. It's a global warming epic from the '90s! How prophetic! Costner has gills,and recycles his own drinks. That's NOT Mountain Dew.
|
![]() | City Limits
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $16.71 Kim Cattrall in an early role as a bureaucrat in a post-apocalyptic city run by feral teenagers. She's no Sex and the City cougar. Yet.
|
![]() | Operation Filmmaker
Buy used from: $20.88 Behind the scenes of two B movies,from an Iraqi's perspective. Could be titled "The Former Child Star,the Former Wrestler,the First-Time Director&the Iraqi." An acclaimed documentary behind the scenes of "Everything is illuminated" and "Doom."
|
![]() | Everything Is Illuminated
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $11.98 Rolling Stone famously drubbed this movie for "intrusive klezmer music" and "Elijah Wood acting by widening his eyes." Sorry,kids,it's not the 8th Harry Potter movie.
|
![]() | Doom (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.34 The cheesy B movie based on the video game. Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson and former Eomer Karl Urban battle the undead.
|
![]() | Elijah Wood: Hollywood's Hottest Rising Star by Lisa Degnen
Buy used from: $2.10 The title has overkill much,don't it? Sorry,fangirls,it's not about Orlando Bloom. But if you like B movies,this one's for you. The colors on the cover are a psychedelic combination. Turn on,tune in,drop out. Give Iowa a try!
|
![]() | The Music Man (Special Edition)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.74 Staying with the subject of Iowa... an All-American Boring Musical. You'll be yawning when the men sing "Goodnight ladies." Robert Preston is stodgy as the con man Harold Hill,has zero chemistry with Shirley Jones,and it stars a pre-Arrested Development narrator Ron Howard(!) Give Iowa a try(!)
|
![]() | 1776 (Restored Director's Cut)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $13.49 To celebrate July 4th, learn that boudoir fireworks is what sparked Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence. William Daniels stars as John Adams,and Blythe Danner, then expecting Gwyneth Paltrow,is Martha Jefferson,who sings about her husband's bedroom abilities in "He plays the violin." TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
|
![]() | Desperate Remedies
Buy used from: $6.99 It's got something for everybody! It's a costume drama/soap opera set in New Zealand, with a love triangle, lesbian romance, and it's definitely campy! They don't make costume dramas now like they used to.
|
![]() | Goodbye Bruce Lee
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.50 Bruce Lee impersonator Bruce Li battles bad guys while wearing a hilariously cheesy yellow jumpsuit. There's a grunting Caucasian villain, the hero's constantly sighing captive girlfriend.. plenty of vocalizing since the premise is pretty... awful.
|
![]() | Megaforce
Buy used from: $18.94 Barry Bostwick, with his sidekick Persis Khambatta, battles bad guys on a flying motorcycle. He looks like he's from Flashdance.
|
![]() | All I Want
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.42 Mandy Moore NEVER mentioned this movie when it went straight to DVD. She doesn't acknowledge its existence in interviews (she redeemed herself in "Saved!") Also stars Teutonic art house diva Franka Potente. Has a Debbie Harry of Blondie cameo.
|
![]() | Satisfaction
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.95 Justine Bateman,with the help of the then-unknown Julia Roberts and Liam Neeson,starts a girls' rock band. Has a Debbie Harry of Blondie cameo. Why does Debbie Harry ALWAYS end up in cheesy movies,and David Bowie in good ones?
|
![]() | Trash, Rats and Microphones by Heloise & The Savoir Faire
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.91 A group endorsed by Debbie Harry and... Elijah Wood. Everything is connected.
|
![]() | Eyes Wide Shut (Unrated Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $23.98 Stanley Kubrick's final movie,a cheesfest starring then-marrieds Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman,who needed a special coach for their love scenes. Has a masked orgy scene like "Love's Labor's Lost","Wild Orchid" and "Da Vinci Code." Some cheesy movies have the same theme!
|
![]() | A Prairie Home Companion
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.95 Robert Altman's boring final movie. The goodhearted folks at Prairie Home Companion are pitted against an evil Texas millionaire. With Meryl Streep&Lily Tomlin as sisters,John C.Reilly&Woody Harrelson as raunchy cowboys,and Virginia Madsen as the Angel of Death. Pretentious,boring mess. Radio on the silver screen...
|
![]() | Boxing Helena
Buy used from: $19.00 David Lynch's daughter thought she was making a provocative,erotic fable. Instead,it's pure cheese (and Art Garfunkel is in it)!
|
![]() | Putumayo Presents: Quebec by Various Artists
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.97 Putumayo's latest compilation. Does it have a recipe for Toronto Noodle Soup,the meal featured in the disturbing Peanut Butter Solution?
|
![]() | The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $1.43 There IS the Barry Manilow version of the classic fairy tale,but this isn't the one where he wrote the songs! Jennifer Love Hewitt voiced Thumbelina... now she's talking to ghosts in her nighties. Who can blame her?
|
![]() | Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn
Buy used from: $4.10 A bizarre movie with the future Mrs. John Travolta, Kelly Preston,as a young woman out to avenge her father's murder. She's battling Jared-Syn,who along with his one-armed bandit son Baal,is allying with the Arabic-like Nomads,to wage holy war on humans.
|
![]() | Murphy's War

|
![]() | Star Wars: The Clone Wars [Theatrical Release]
A truly awful "bridge film" for the era between "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith." Fun music, great battle scenes... but a terrible plot (Anakin must rescue Jabba the Hutt's son-squick-worthy! and tutor Ashoka to learn "detachment") Star Wars jumps the shark.
|
![]() | Invisible Circus
Buy used from: $0.67 Cameron Diaz and future Dr. Who Christopher Eccleston star as activist hippies. It's trippin' indeed.
|
![]() | Punisher: War Zone [Blu-ray]
Lexi Alexander,fresh from her Green Street Hooligans triumph,directs a comic book epic! Thank Chuck Norris for her work visa.
