My movie weekend is sorted
Oh boy, I so got my work cut out for me this weekend, got delivered home today a lovely set of DVDs to enjoy and I truly mean enjoy, some of the best and worst movies in a nice mix, my flatmate didn’t look to pleased but I will make her enjoy the awesomeness of these movies. Damn, I need to find myself a geeky girlfriend soon to enjoy these things with. Any takers?
This one needs no introduction at all I think. Just such an inspiring movie. The biggest-budgeted movie ever produced at Germany’s UFA, Fritz Lang’s gargantuan Metropolis consumed resources that would have yielded upwards of 20 conventional features, more than half the studio’s entire annual production budget. And if it didn’t make a profit at the time — indeed, it nearly bankrupted the studio — the film added an indelible array of images and ideas to cinema, and has endured across the many decades since its release.
And Zsa Zsa Gabor in skimpy outfit Jack, jack, jack…. I just love this movie.
doesn’t sounds so bad in This novel based movie was made for him.
Queen Of Outer space
Surprise me, not sure about this one. The storyline is weak but it’s Cab!
Also remember that I did like this one as a kid but can’t remember that the Son of Kong looked so much like a doofus…
Remembered that I thought Donovan’s
Brain was excellent when I first saw it as a
15 year old, here’s hoping I wasn’t a lousy This purchase is just because of
movie fan back then… :D John Carradine, big fan….
Ok, this is probably my weakest purchase but couldn’t help it when I read the story ‘Olaf and his mother run a boarding house, and a white slavery ring. They also smuggle heroin to keep the addict girls happy, so they do not try and escape. A young couple move into the house, and the evil landlords take a liking to the female. Don’t mess with THIS Dwarf…!’ Am so a sucker f0r proper bad bad bad movies.
Laughed out loud when I found this review:
‘this film is weird, terrible acting, terrible music but lots of happy teddybears. worth watching as it is so odd it’s kinda entertaining.’
Lots of happy teddybears????? anyway,
MY WEEKEND WILL BE GREAT!

that’s a decent collection
I’m such a happy bunny or… yeah, that works… 🙂 love these movies to bits, the old sci-fi where acting has to do the trick and the effects are rubber rockets, LOL…
btw, had lost your link so thanks for sending a message so that I could find your blog again… hope you’re still creating and cooking away…
Good lord man, they’ll be wheeling you off to the land of rubber walls after all that! 🙄
am afraid of that as well, having the speed dial for 911 close by in case of temporary insanity. 😀
What a collection, you really do need to get out more
actually this will be my first weekend on my own, have told my friends to not call unless we are talking nuclear warfare starting up, for 3 weekends in a row I have managed to sleep on sofas due to parties going on way to long so this weekend will be me and my quavers 😀
Pretty impressive!!
thanks, have just finished the Sinful Dwarf and it’s by far one of the worst/best movies I’ve ever seen, the acting is cringe worthy awful but due to that it had me riveted all the way through. I will dream nightmares about bad acting dwarfs now 😀
