April Fool’s Day
By the time I ever think of any great pranks to pull for April Fool's Day, it's usually April 2nd - not the most opportune time for tricking people. April Fool's Day the movie has a lot of fun, but corny tricks up it's sleeve, and one huge one that by the time it rolls around, you might already see it coming.
The Room
Everyone has heard the saying, "you don't know what you've got until it's gone." Well sometimes you can say "you don't know what you've got until you see an article about it on ABC News!" Such was the case a few months ago when the guys here at IB came across The Room. We watched, knowing it was a BAD movie. But I don't think we were quite prepared at the time to appreciate just how bad it is. So after seeing that in a few short months this movie (which is 6 years old) has developed a cult following and is now being called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies", we just had to sit down and watch it again. We now bring to you the brilliant misery that is Tommy Wiseau's lifelong dream, his baby, his masterpiece... we bring you The Room!
Blown Away
Blown Away (not to be confused with the Tommy Lee Jones film) is a movie I've been thinking about since my high school days. The last time I saw it was right around 1993, and even back then I knew that any movie with Corey Feldman and Corey Haim was something that could be classified as classic - in a "so bad, it's good" kind of way. Add to the mix that the last time I saw Nicole Eggert, she was playing the older sister in "Charles in Charge"... wow, this would be one for the ages. It centers around Megan (Eggert), a daughter of a rich resort owner, who's mom dies on her 16th birthday. Ever since her mom died, she turns to a wild life of parties and living her life on the edge. Rich (Haim) is works at her father's ski resort and saves Megan from a near death horse attack! The moment Megan invites him to a party, he steps into the deep end of a pool that he might not be able to swim out of.
Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks
How do you take a character that was obviously shot in the face and killed, and use that same character in a sequel? Easy, just do it and don't make any explanation available whatsoever! That's what Don Edmonds has done in his follow up to his 1975 film "Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS", this time entitled "Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks". Last time Ilsa was in charge of a Nazi camp that was testing women to see if they had a higher pain threshold than men, and conducting gruesome experiments on her subjects. Now, she is a slave trader, training women to pleasure El Sharif , making them members of his harem. Then, she was in Nazi Germany, in a concentration camp of sorts, and an American G.I. is the one to tame her and her wicked ways. Now, she's in an undisclosed Middle Eastern location, and a German diplomat and an American serviceman are sent to try to tame El Sharif, and get his oil and Ilsa under control. Pretty similar so far...
