HE AM THE LAW!!!

It’s about time for another Bad Sci-Fi Theater post! This time around, I put up the choice of movies for a vote on Twitter, and low and behold they declared that I must watch the first Judge Dredd movie from 1995. This tour de force of entertainment features Sylvester Stallone and that thespian of thespians who brought us not only Deuce Bigalo: Male Gigolo, but ALSO its sequel: Rob Schneider! (Okay, so I admit I laughed at the “Makin’ Copies” sketches on SNL back in the day, but I really can’t stand the guy. So thanks, Twitter. I owe ya one. 😉

So hey, here we go! [Read more…]

Bad Sci-Fi Theater: Australiens (2016)

Even the tagline tries to warn you!

Bad Sci-Fi Theater!

It’s time for another Bad Sci-Fi Theater recap, the Geek Notes feature where I try to make the best of watching terrible movies so you can crack maybe half a grin. This time, a movie I picked purely based on the title alone: AUSTRALIENS!

Okay, I think I’ve picked every BSFT movie by the title alone, so I suppose that’s not so noteworthy. What might be noteworthy is that I went into this movie not expecting it to be a comedy. (On the other hand, given how many times jokes just fell flat, one might watch the entire movie and not realize it’s a comedy…) I’ll say a little more about that at the end, but for now, here’s the trailer, followed by the tweet-a-thon…

Bad Sci-Fi Theater: Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs (2015)

Whoever wins, the viewer loses.

Bad Sci-Fi Theater!

It’s time again for Bad Sci-Fi Theater here on Geek Notes, where I watch terrible movies so you don’t have to! …Or so you can know about them and watch them, too, assuming you’re into that. (I can’t throw stones, after all.)

This one had been haunting me on Netflix for a while, showing up in my suggested movies, daring me to click on it. Hey, when you’re entertained by horrible schlock as much as I am, Netflix takes notice and throws…oh, just so much more at you. So a couple of weeks ago I finally gave in and cracked the e-seal on what would surely be a rousing sci-fi adventure!

…Right? [Read more…]

Bad Sci-Fi Theater: Stung (2015)

I’d like to introduce a new recurring feature here on Geek Notes: The feature with the descriptive yet banal name…

Bad Sci-Fi Theater!

Might be a good time to blink.

See, so-bad-it’s-good sci-fi is something of a guilty pleasure of mine. I’m not sure if I should blame adolescent viewings of Mystery Science Theater 3000, more recent times of getting together with bunches of people to watch things like The Beast of Yucca Flats, or just a general weirdness on my part. Perhaps all three. The point is, if you love to watch (and make fun of) bad sci-fi, these entries might be for you.

And hey, if you follow me on Twitter (@TheWriteMunz), you might even catch me doing it live with the hashtag #BSFT, and can even join in. Most of what I watch will likely be on Netflix streaming, and sometimes I’ll be joining up with other geeks to watch simultaneously. [Read more…]
