What I Did on My Summer Vacation (2019 Edition)

6/6/2019

0 Comments

 
To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary (holy cow, that's a big number, still can't believe we've been married so many years!), the hubs and I decided to pack it up and leave the country for a few days. The choices were many in terms of destinations, but in the end we decided on some sun, sand, fishes and fun, which all added up to a special return trip to the Bahamas and the most wonderful Atlantis Resort.

Was it awesome? Hell yes! Am I both stress free and exhausted? Ditto--hell yes to that too. But we had sooooo much fun, guys. The Islands of the Bahamas are beautiful, the locals are wonderful, and honestly, I can't think of a single thing that could've gone better. Well, except maybe for the unplanned layover in Ft. Lauderdale.

No offense, Ft. Lauderdale, but I'm pretty much sick of your airport. On the plus side, all the downtime gave me time to cull through and organize my pictures--I've selected the best of the bunch to provide a little photo gallery for all of you. Enjoy!

Bad Movie Review: Doomsday

4/21/2019

0 Comments

 
In a world of bad, bad movies, Doomsday was the one that finally broke me. That's right, broke me. If you've kept up on my Bad Movie Reviews--and you have, I know you have!--you'll know just how much I appreciate a cheesy, overdone but still highly entertaining flick. Doomsday, though... well, there's no sense beating around the bush. Doomsday is terrible. Not good terrible, not terrible, just flat-out, so bad I couldn't finish the movie terrible.

That's right: I DNFed on this one. Why? Click the pic below and find out...

Yes, you read that right: Sharktopus Versus Pteracuda, a love story involving two genetically bred monsters who... well, go read my review on Sci-Fi & Scary if you want to know the rest. No-no, really, go read it. I swear it's entertaining. I snark a lot. I mean, A LOT. 

​So, go. Go-go!

Bad Movie Review: Ice Road Terror

1/29/2019

0 Comments

 
So, I'm making up for my overly long Bad Movie Review hiatus by offering up a double-whammy of awfulness this month. My latest piece de resistance? Oh, nothing special. Just a low budget SyFy original called Ice Road Terror was that was FREAKING AMAZING!

Seriously! This movie was cheaply made, super cheesy and included a random sampling of supporting actors from Battlestar Galactica. In short, it was terrible. AND I LOVE IT!

By now you know the drill: Hit the pic below for the full text of my love-fest review, then go watch this crap-a-doodle-doo and let me know what you think!

Bad Movie Review: Tremors

1/4/2019

I know, I know, I know--it's been a while since I've posted anything on my blog. I'm terrible--I KNOW! That said, I'm back! And I've got yet another bad, bad, lusciously and deliciously bad movie review to share. This time I went with a classic I'm guessing most of you are familiar with: Tremors, starring that most Footloose of Fakin' Bacons, Kevin Bacon.

Interested? Just click the pic below and you'll be instantly transported to the magic land of words and swearing wherein I spill my unfiltered thoughts, feelings and opinions on this Hercules of Bad Moviedom.

Ready, set, snark!

Bad Movie Review: Maximum Overdrive

I'll admit up front that this one is long overdue. Work happened, life happened, and, well... I think you've all been there. But I'm back now with some entertainment (by which I mean snark and ranting, of course) and in honor of the new Castle Rock show which I haven't actually seen yet but am simply dying to sample, I decided to watch a Stephen King flick.

That's why I chose Maximum Overdrive. 

Haven't seen it? Well, you're in for a... I was gonna say 'treat' but I'm not sure that's quite the right word. It's more of a...a...aw, forget it. Go read my review, you'll see what I mean. Hit the pick below to access the full write-up on SciFiAndScary.

Bad Movie Review: Rollerball

6/24/2018

0 Comments

 
By now you know the drill: I watch a bad-good movie (which sometimes ends up being bad-bad and not good at all), I lay down some snarky observations, you read it and we're all entertained.

Well, I know I'm entertained. I'm just assuming you are as well because otherwise, why are you coming back here?

Anyway, my latest installment is a classic sci-fi flick from the 1970s starring James Caan. Yup, that's right: the same James Caan that was in The Godfather, only this time he's on rollerskates.

​Intrigued? You should be! Want to read more! Then get down with your bad self and click the pic below to read my full review in all its snarky goodness..

Bad Movie Review: Loch Ness

5/20/2018

0 Comments

 
By now you guys know the drill: I watch a bad movie (which is usually much, much worse than I expect it to be) I spend endless amounts of time ranting about it, and you guys just sit back and laugh. Yup. That's what I'm here for: cheap laughs and disgruntled muttering. 

Well, if you enjoy reading about my suffering, you're going to love this month's edition of Bad Movie Reviews because I suffered HARD. Frankly, Loch Ness is is terrible. No, that's too soft. It's atrocious. An affront to moviedom. In the immortal words of Bart Simpson: I didn't know it was physically possible for something to both suck and slow at the same time. 

Welp, Loch Ness did. Intrigued? You are? Why?? Ahem, I mean, read on, gentle reader, read on...

Bad Movie Review: Dam Sharks!

3/19/2018

0 Comments

 
So, I was struggling this month, trying to figure out what movie to review. I mean, there are so many bad-good (and bad-bad, and really, really bad-bad) movies out there to choose from, but I just couldn't find one that felt right.

And then the SyFy Channel stepped in and saved the day. By which I mean screwed me over royally by tricking me into watching a crap fest of a movie!

Ahem. But I digress.

Thanks to the marvelous Lilyn G. at SciFiAndScary, who (for unknown reasons) not only puts up with my snarky babbling about bad movies but actually encourages it, I'm back with another Bad Movie Review. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dam Sharks! (their punctuation, not mine). Interested? My god, you are, aren't you? What is wrong with you? Can't you see this is going to be horrible? Shouldn't you be running away?

​No? You're staying? *sigh* Fine. Click on the picture below to read my review. But don't say I didn't warn you...
