B-Movie Vault DVD Shop updated; fellow cult movie lover "Dumpster Diver" now has his own site!

Well, after a little over two hours of clicking through various pages and changing, adding, and deleting movie titles, The B-Movie Film Vault DVD Shop is now WAY up to par! I went through every section of the store and really did a thorough job, plus I started an all new ULTRAMAN section (which is fairly small, due to the insane lack of Ultraman dvds here in the States)!

And for those of you that are looking to blow some cash on some flicks this week (or next week... or the week after...) be sure to check out THIS WEEK'S DVD RELEASES! (And don't forget to check out the UPCOMING CULT DVD RELEASES section in order to stay up to date on what mouth-watering flicks are coming to DVD!)

Anyway, in other b-movie news, my good friend "Dumpster Diver," a regular in the B-Movie Film Vault's Forums, has started his own website! Though it is pretty empty right now (he literally JUST started it), you can view it at: http://theb-moviedumpster.blogspot.com/
That's right, his site is safely nestled on Blogspot.com, as is this very blog you are currently reading. ;-)

Also, before I forget, my main man Kevin P, the webmaster of WTF-Film.com is no longer peddling his cool cult DVDs. (Sad because he put so much quality work into them.) Kevin has instead become an online reviewer and his review archives are filling up fast! If you have some time, check out Kev's excellent site!

That's all I've got for you now, but stay tuned because I'm gearing up to do a bit of writing this week. My copy of "Valley of Gwangi" has been staring at me accusingly every time I go into my movie room to watch a flick, so I'm just about ready to finish off my review for "Gwangi" and move on to writing about other films. (Next up will be "The Host," which hits DVD on July 24th!) Also, stay tuned for an announcement concerning the Mega-Roundtable mentioned in the previous blog post last week. Fifteen site are participating and we're a few votes shy of choosing our theme. (Thus far it seems that a "B-Movie Beach Party" is definitely a possibility!) G'night b-movie fans, and remember to keep fighting the good fight!

You may never see such an alliance as this for quite some time....

Tonight, as I sat here pondering numerous things (such as, what movie will I watch before I go to bed), I got an e-mail from Andrew Borntreger of Badmovies.Org asking me (and about a dozen or so other online reviewers) if I (we) would be interested in doing a big, ole-fashioned roundtable. I signed up immediately as it sounds like fun and I'll have plenty o' time to write up a review as well, so there's no rush. The only foreseeable problem is my complete lack of interest in writing during these past few weeks. Seriously, I don't have the urge to sit here and type up reviews, articles, or anything, and my site has been crying itself to sleep every night because I haven't changed anything (except my DVD collection page) or added new content to it in what, a month? Plus my forums are stagnating and starting to smell up the place (my regulars suddenly and mysteriously vanished), so things aren't looking good for the Vault right now. I haven't really been spending much time on the computer lately, and once summer arrives, my presence on the WWW will be non-existant. Sigh.....what to do... what to do.....

Happy Birthday to B-Movie Central and Monster Squad coming to DVD in July!

First off, congrats to my good buddy Duaner. His site, B-Movie Central is now five years (and one day) old! His site is a wonderful place to spend time in if you enjoy classic b-flicks, so give it a visit. Also, expect a review for "The Black Scorpion" to be popping up over there in a few days.

In other news... MONSTER SQUAD HITS DVD ON JULY 24! WOOOHOO!
The disc has new artwork (that I'm having a hard time warming up to) and contains these wonderful extra features:

- Audio commentary by writer/director Dekker and cinematographer Bradford May
- Audio commentary by Dekker and actors Andre Gower, Ashley Bank and Ryan Lambert
- Wolf Man’s Got Nards! The Making of THE MONSTER SQUAD documentary
- Deleted and extended scenes
- Monster Mania reunion featurette
- Vintage interview with Tom Noonan
- Poster and still gallery
- Theatrical trailer
- TV spot

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm gonna buy Monster Squad because I really like it! Also, don't forget kids that Korea's "THE HOST" hits DVD on the same day, also in a 2-disc special edition! YAY! July is gonna be an expensive month so save up those dimes, pennies, nickels, and quarters DVD fanatics! YEEHAW!

May issue of Rogue Cinema is online!

The new issue of Rogue Cinema is now online and includes a good chunk of stuff to browse through.
This issue contains THREE new interviews, FOUR new articles, and SIXTEEN new movie reviews. Sadly, none of this stuff is mine. But that's what happens when you become completely burnt out from writing. :-(

But wait, there's more! Also included in this issue is the first batch of indie films to win the ROGUE CINEMA EXCELLENCE AWARD and the premiere of our monthly SLEEPOVER GIRL OF THE MONTH! (Our first, and hopefully not last RC Sleepover girl is Zoe Hunter, the red-headed cutie pictured below!)


Next month is a month of big anniversary's for the Rogues and yours truly. As of June 1st, Rogue Cinema will be on its THIRD YEAR! Also, this June marks the 5th year since the Rogue Reviewers first came together and started reviewing b-movies! And finally, June 6th marks the B-Movie Film Vault's SEVENTH year online! Enjoy this issue folks, and stay tuned for the big 3rd anniversary issue of Rogue Cinema on June 1st!

Gone for the day.

I'm about to leave to help my dad do a bit of logging (to explain: our neighbor owns a ton of land and allows us to go up on his mountain and cut down a few trees every now and again so that we can cut the wood, split it, and use it for firewood during the, thus far, harsh winters up here. Plus we sell any extra wood we have for a bit of extra cash.) and after that I'm going to Scranton for the rest of the night. If all goes well, I will be seeing "Hot Fuzz" tonight and from what I hear, it is friggin' awesome!

I'll be back tomorrow afternoon and will be typing up a little something for Rogue Cinema. (I'll either be finishing up a half-done kaiju article and/0r my usual Genre Watch stuff. Plus, I may even do a review or two. It all depends on how I feel tomorrow.)

Well take care everyone! Blog ya later!

Henry Winkler clone arrested in Boise, Idaho!

While most would have written this off as a goofy mugshot of a one David Miranda (who saw fit to drive with a revoked or suspended license), I see the true implications. The government, or possibly even a secret scientific research project independently funded by eccentric billionaires, has done the unthinkable: They have cloned Fonzi! How many other "has been" celebs have been cloned? I cannot say, but they are all around us. Heck, the proof has been staring us in the face for decades and yet we were so blind! They cloned Jack Nicholson, but totally botched their experiment. Jack is just simply one of a kind, and is so cool that science cannot even duplicate his coolness, even with cloning. The horrifying result of this experiment was of course, Christian Slater! (AAAAAAAAHHHH!) Years later, a second cloning project occured before our very eyes, and yet we did not see it! I speak of course about Tom Cruise's constantly smiling clone, Val Kilmer! This insanity must end and someone has to put an end to it, before our world is overrun by these monstrous clones! And furthermore.... uh... hmmm.... you know, now that I've had a good look at this photo... I've come to an even more shocking conclusion. This is no clone of Henry Winkler, but is in fact Henry Winkler himself, in a fright wig! HA! Your fake wig and fake bad license have betrayed you Mr. Winkler! Now your secret is out and a legion of papparazi are on their way to take embarrassing photos of you!

Of course I could be wrong on both counts. This guy could very well be Henry Winkler's twin brother that was seperated at birth. Either that or it's his bastard son that was the result of a scandalous affair! Or maybe the truth is a combination of all four of these conspiracy theories! It boggles my mind!

Well I'm off to do some stuff before bed, but feel free to post your thoughts on this b-movie fans. Together, we may be able to crack this case wide open! Hahahaha! ;-)

A good quote!

I saw this quote in the bottom of someone's e-mail and I liked it so much that I'm going to share it YOU (then it's back to doing laundry):

"A pessimist complains about the wind; an optimist hopes it will change; a realist ajusts the sail."

However, it doesn't beat "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." That has to be one of my all-time favorite quotes.

I still think my favorite movie quote is: "What a wonderful world it would be if alcohol flowed in our veins."

Well I'm gonna get back to my laundry and watch a flick, but feel free to share some of your favorite historical and cinematic quotes in the meantime! Blog ya later!
