Went to B-fest @ Northwestern for most of last night. B-fest = 24 hours of badmovies, I just stayed for the beginning which had most of the films I wanted to see.
Cripple Masters - 2/5 - one man without arms, another man without the use of his legs, kungfu masters. Definitely weird enough to pay attention throughout, definitely a straight up 80s chinese martial arts film. Something weirdly enjoyable watching a man without arms spin a bow around his missing limb and beat up people. Just weird and enjoyable.
Heart Beeps - 1/5 - by far the worst movie of the bunch @ b-fest. 2 robots go out into the forest and fall in love or some crap. Its god awful, randy quaid is in it & they have 'bags of beer' in the future...besides that its extremely dreadful. Its one of those movies that you watch just to see how much pain your friends can endure.
Gymkata - 2/5 - I had high hopes going into this one. It starts off just what I want, a man running about beating the crap out of people w/ Gymnastics & Karate. It becomes this weird tournament/race to save a town from a villain who uses 'The Game' to kill off competitors so he can marry the town's princess. There are some extremely unnecessary gymnastic moments to evade an enemies attack which lead to some quality laughs. Besides those moments Gymkata ended up not living up to the expectations I had going into it.
Plan 9 From Outer Space - 3/5 - Saw this 3 times in the past 366 days, last years bfest, this year & for riff traxs event. Its a classic, nothing much else to say. I need to stop seeing Plan9 that often because the night/day, bela/not-bela moments aren't as funny once u know exactly where they all are. Tor is still a badass.
The Room - 2/5 - Its painfully funny and by far the most enjoyable film at b-fest. I already seen it about a month ago. Its definitely a growing cult classic. I think I posted a review about how god awful it is, if not rent it on netflix. Watch it with friends.
Hard Ticket to Hawaii - 3/5 - boobs! One of the best films I saw last night. Drug dealers/diamond smugglers & attractive operatives in hawaii get into it. Girls find smuggler's diamonds, smugglers want them back. FBI/Law Enforcement dudes come in and help the girls, rockets are shot at a dude skateboarding....Oh and there is a hazardous snake on the loose which has been infected w/ cancer from rats. Yep...amazing.
