Bad Kids of Crestview Academy (2017)
Pretty funny teen horror spoof!
Anyone who takes themselves seriously or the teen horror genre seriously will not like a comedy spoof on the genre.
The movie at it's opening credits clearly sets itself up as a bloody comedy spoof on the teen horror movie theme. It throws in some modern tech jokes while keeping the familiar traditional killing formula.
The cast looked the part and did a good job of acting...remembering it is a horror spoof they played their parts well. I did laugh in many places and enjoyed the off beat comedy choices.
At the very end...i usually do not care who directed a movie but since this spoof was really well done i decided to go back and see who the directer was...Ben Browder ...LOL now i understand why the movie was so creative, not boring and had enough entertaining twists.
Worth watching...just for fun!
Steampunk'd (2015)
Could have been great....
For all the steampunk fans out there...this show is a must see. The genre and host are great. The concept is great. Making it a competition works well too. Shame on whoever picked the contestants and the producer and director that allowed them to act childish, self centered and all in all contribute to keeping the steampunk community fractured.
Where the show failed is picking contestants that have ego's larger than planet Uranus. You can compare this failure to Gordon Ramsay's show about kid chefs...he picked kids that were so coached and brain washed by their parents ambitions that all the kids he had on his show competing were "spoiled brat monsters", talented yes but such brats and so self centered that the show was revolting.(Ramsay later corrected this and later seasons chose kids of better substance making the show a pleasure to watch the kids have fun and compete.)
So just imagine the same kind of kids now as adults and competing in "Steampunk'd". Each with ego's the size of Uranus, self centered, bitchy, arrogant etc. Pretty much ruining any cool camaraderie that holds the steampunk community together.
If this show manages to make a 2nd season, lets hope they can bounce back, learn from their mistakes and correct their selection process and choose fun, supportive, creative contestants...just like Gordon Ramsay did to correct his new seasons of kid chefs.
The Mildew from Planet Xonader (2015)
It's a comedy sci-fi horror spoof staged in the 80's
The official summary does not list this movie as a comedy sci-fi horror spoof, but that's what it is. At first i did not like the movie because it was not listed as a comedy, but if you keep watching it was always meant to be a comedy spoof. Once you realize that, it is pretty cool.
This would have made a great drive in movie back in the old days. Today it is on par with the "Saturday Night Live" shows of the 80's. Think of the old Julia Childs'cooking spoofs that SNL did.
The tongue in cheek humor and special effects will appeal to the 8 year old boy in all of us who have ever made a home movie. In fact the effects are a big part of what makes this movie endearing.
