These are lovely. My list is short because the brain has been damaged from
weekend viewing.
Mistie
Epoch (I enjoyed that one, too)
Dungeons and Dragons the first one... haven't seen that second one yet
Dragon Storm (Who thought Maxwell Caulfield could find a more demeaning role
than the nerd turned secret-indentity-wielding hot biker? Still, I didn't mind
it)
Even if you're on a plane, walk out:
BloodRayne
BloodRayne 2
Any future BloodRaynes
(Careful folks Stephen King's about to take a beating!) The Langoliers

keithbjohn...@comcast.netto : scifino...@yahoogroups.comhey, that's cool. the
real trick is knowing which B- movies are really fun camp for the ages, and
which are just crappy schlock. What we need to do, gang, is start rating these
movies for each other on that level. See, as Martin just did, showing me that
at least this Dean Cain flick is a good time-waster. I've seen others of his
that are just plain bad. There was one where he was a security chief in an
underground facility creating dinosaurs from old DNA. (And isn't Cain always
playing a security chief or soldier in a top-secret facility?) One of the
baddies got loose and started having human snacks. It was so bad because the
CGI was horrible, and the used the *exact same* scene for every appearance of
the creature! It was running down this curving hallway, and every single time
the monster was shown, it was the exact same loop of film. So bad it wasn't
even good camp. So we'll do that. Whoever has sat (suffered) through a SciFi
flick can rate it on "camp" or MST3K factor, so the others can know if it'd be
a great laugh riot on a cold winter's day, or just a woefully bad piece of
CGI-filled dreck that's not even worth watching for derision. And on that
scale, I can drop a couple of films like that: Worth a Mistie watch: Rock
Monster (though I don't know why, it makes me life) The Beast of Bray Road
(that urban werewolf legend in film) Leprechaun - yes I said it. Horrible,
horrible film, but Warwick Dunn (?) makes me laugh as the creepy killer sprite.
This ain't your daddy's Lucky Charms! Dragon Sword (I think) - it's the one
with Patric Swayze. Again, a bad movie, but acting is just good enough (it has
many established actors) to make it dumb fun Epoch - The first couple of these
movies about some alien rock thingie activating on Earth may be a bit
befuddling, but star David Keith helps make 'em watchable Alien Lockdown (think
that's it) - there's one or two of these flicks about a monster loose on an
orbiting prison. I think one stars Christopher Lambert. Dumb fun. Frankenfish -
not sure why I laughed at this one, it's one of the worst ever. But watching
these idiot young people run from a stupid killer fish in the Louisiana Bayou
had me rolling And from the "Even if you're on a plane, walk out" category:
Dragon Storm - I just wailed on it. American 90210 clones as reincarnation of
Asian warriors and royals? 'Nuff said. Gargoyles -- not the Cornel West camp
classic--that one had great makeup and high fun, camp factor. The recent remake
overflowing with cheap CGI Harpies - Bad acting, lackluster action, bad CGI
Gryphon - Bad acting (though it has established actors like Larry Drake and
Anthony LePalia's younger brother), lackluster action, bad CGI That Francis
Drake movie --came out last week starring Adrian "Highlander" Paul. It was
awful! The CGI ships and ocean sucked, the characters were pitiful. There are
many, many more. Basically almost every SciFi Original that's loaded with cheap
CGI instead of good scale models or live action shots, just sucks
