"1956- AKA "GRAVE ROBBERS FROM OUTER SPACE" / Likely the best-worst-campy movie ever made. Everything about this film reeks of amateurish-low-budget filmmaking. Ed Wood, the now well-known producer-director of the "Bad Movie", has out-done himself on this one. Paper plates as flying saucers; an obvious poor look-a-like for Bela Lugosi after he died during production; and dialog almost any grade school pupil could improve on. It's a one-of-a-kind film that, in my opinion, should be mandatory viewing for all film-school students. "

"Director: Shawn KuUS, 22 minutes, colorCinema 4 Rating: 5Despite a title sure to be at least partially tempting to any horror nut, Pretty Dead Girl: A Musical Necromance turns out to be rather tame. And if you could get the subject of necrophilia past the initial tsk-tsking of your grandma, there is a good chance that she would end up at film’s end thinking the movie was rather sad and sweet, and would hardly take offense at all to what is being suggested by its potentially creepy premise.I first saw Pretty Dead Girl on some cable network sometime about a year ago. I am not sure if it was Sundance or IFC, but honestly, I mix those channels up so much that I am never able to check out any of their shows regularly. Of course, most of the shows I have seen on there are of the variety about which I don’t give a rat’s ass, except for the ones done by Henry Rollins and Jon Favreau, but honestly, even thinking really hard, I can’t remember which one of the channels ...

"Bloody-Disgusting calls Plan 9 From Outer Space “arguable one of [Ed Wood's] only ‘good’ films” [sic], but the general consensus is that it’s one of the worst films of all time. But, um, maybe the remake will be better! Motivated by no logical reason other than the fact that they could have it ready in time of a 09/09/09 release date (well, okay––it is the original’s 50th anniversary, and since the film has lapsed into the public domain a remake can be done for cheap, cheap, cheap), Darkwave Entertainment is planning “a serious-minded retelling of the original story, paying homage to the spirit of Wood’s film without resorting to camp or parody.” As BD points out, you can

"I came in early to work today only to find that the boss wouldn't let me clock in. So I went to the breakroom and turned on the TV and clickered through the "Movie and Event" channels. Everything was ending. Why watch the last twenty minutes of a movie if you've never seen the first and second acts?But one movie was just beginning. Mothra. Get this. An American visits an island near Japan where nuclear bomb testing took place years ago. Somehow or another, it left these twin girls fully matured but only a few inches tall. So the American steals them and puts them in a show for people to pay and see. They sing well, you understand, and they're freaks. But their songs have an underlying telepathic effect that calls upon the god those crazy miniature islanders worshipped - a giant moth called (you guessed it) Mothra (or Mosura in Japanese). The giant moth wreaks havoc on a cardboard Tokyo for awhile Godzilla-style (no, seriously) until the girls are finally retu ... "

"In perhaps the all-time most significant fulfilling of cinematic expectations, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas successfully bring Indiana Jones back after a near 20-year hiatus, while Harrison Ford dispels any doubts than an older Indy is an ineffective Indy. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is the perfect companion to the late-'50s serials that helped inspire the adventurous archaeologist. Some of the plot points may seem hokey at first, but if you can accept that the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail have been past series focal points, you'll agree that there can be no better era-appropriate focus. Ford is thoroughly convincing in reprising his most well-known character. There is no moment when you believe that he is incapable of fulfilling the attitude and, especially, the action requirements for the film an "

"A few years ago on the talk show circuit, Luke Wilson liked to note that he had contributed one of the most memorable lines in Rushmore. Already cast as Dr. Peter Flynn, Luke was reading over the script written by Wes Anderson and brother Owen when he got to the restaurant scene after the conclusion of Max Fischer's "Serpico." Luke's character comes to the dinner in O.R. scrubs and he thought it would be funny if Max asked what the clothing was, got the response, and then asked, "Oh, are they?" Bill Murray's Harold Blume nearly gags on his whiskey after hearing the line and so do we.Luke played his part. He saw an opportunity, went for it, and it worked. Apparently, the experience gave him enough confidence to write a script of his own. His first attempt is The Wendell Baker Story, a project that looks wildly appealing on paper. Co-directed with brother Andrew, the film stars Luke, Seymour Cassel, Eddie Griffin, Kris Kristofferson, Eva Mendes, ... "
