The B-grades

Ok, so it's a bit belated as a review, but well, them's the breaks. Drink for the day was limited, due to flu-like symptoms, but focussed on St Peter's Grapefruit beer. As Island Bay New World was flogging it off cheap (close to expiry date). Huzzahness!

In no particulr order:

Black Eye, as usual we had a blaxpoitation flick. This one was a intense investigation of bodies piling up due to a mysterious man with a cane. Actually all we got from it was, it starred Fred Williamson !!! Awesome !!! Nothing made much sense, there were haves, have-nots, cliched charatcers (damn whiteys holding the black mon down). obviously the love interest was bisexual, until she saw the error of her ways. Recommended after beer.

Frankensteins Castle of Freaks the Cinematic Titanic riffing over the 'classic' Italian movie. Plot involved freaks, neanderthals, evil dwarfs, hot lesbians, and Dr Frankenstein raising dead bodies after grave robbing. Oddly for an Italian movie, no incest. That threw us. Thankfully our group managed to cope and extrapolated incest and claimed the censors had ruined it. We're resourceful. Some of the riffing was good, some was atrocious (the chick was, by the end of the movie, running 4 for 60 for good calls). But the lowlight were the boob blimps which popped up whenever, well, boobs popped up. Now that caused trauma, there were tears, there was rage, we didn't cope well. Movie itself was utter crap and made no sense, but was highly amusing. Recommended after beer.

Psycho Beach Party Psycho's, Beach Party! Surfing! Chicklit (first female surfer) appears possessed!! Is she killing people ?! Why is she surfing? It's man's thing! Oohhh it's a surfer, psycho slasher flick. Awesome! Nicholas Brendan (Zander from Buffy) is in it, uber-surfer is played by Thomas Gibson (Dharma and Greg, Chicago Hope) he's the one who teaches Chicklit! It all goes horribly wrong/right. God knows. There's crossover with West Side Story, but more beachey, less streety. We really enjoyed this, reasonably tight script, rocked along, confused us, all good. Recommended after beer.

Ninja Cheerleaders With thanks to Jason for this one. Definitely the highlight. The title alone excited us, how right is that concept? Pretty bloody right we thought, and damn, we were right. Right? three hot cheerleaders are trying to pay for their Uni education by working part-time as erotic dancers, in the strip club their sensei runs (sensei: George Takei - Star Trek!). But he's kidnapped by the drug ppl who used to own the club, before it was taken from them. There are subplots with the chickybabes and their lives, more importantly the cuts between scenes involve boobyshots. Choice. The cops are inhibiting them, their cheerleading coach wants them (pervert!), will they triumph? Who knows?! Tight, funny script, acting was better than expected, story amusing, recommended without beer. Yup, a B-grade you could watch without beer.

Spending today chillin watching stuff so expect more...
