  • Bad Movie Bible – Borrowing Blockbusters: The Exorcist

    Back when I was twelve or thirteen, my parents went out, leaving me home alone, and I thought this would be a great time to watch The Exorcist. It was on TNT or A&E, or maybe it was BRAVO, I can’t remember, point being, even with the commercial breaks, that movie scared the crap out of me. I think it was the last horror movie that gave me nightmares, and made me sleep with a light on. I still hold it’s the scariest I have ever seen.

    So, when I saw that Rob Hill, through his Bad Movie Bible page, was adding The Exorcist to his “Borrowing Blockbuster” series, at first I was sure about this addition. First, I agree that The Exorcist is an amazingly influential movie, if not one of the best movies ever made. But, I couldn’t really think of any movies that ripped it off. That’s where Rob Hill comes in, and I will never doubt his judgement again.

  • Bad Movie Bible – A Top 10 Best Worst Martial Arts Movies

    If you know me, and even if you don’t, it’s hard for me to say no to a good/bad movie. Lucky for all of us, Rob Hill over at Bad Movie Bible has another installment of his “Top 10” series – this time covering martial arts movies.

    As a kid, I spent many a Saturday afternoon in front of the huge tube TV in my parents’ living room, watching Channel 11 for the worst dubbed but best fighting martial arts movies that a local UHF station could provide. Not that any of those movies were nearly as good/bad as the one’s Rob Hill has found, but it did instill in me an appreciation for movies of this genre.
