    It's a great premise. ie: Scifi vampires all tied up with Haleys Comet etc etc + boobs!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    "Better" versus "more enjoyable" really, isn't it? The former doesn't necessarily trump the latter.

    I've seen many films that are very worthy, well made, and/or Oscar winners - but I might only watch them once - whereas there could be a movie that was absolutely shat on by critics and/or audiences, and possibly bombed at the box office, and I'll watch it several times - but I'll also see things in it that 'the mainstream' did not, or that sniffy critics didn't see in it etc.

    In some regards it's very sloppy, and it doesn't make an awful lot of sense sometimes, but it's got so many fantastic elements that just bring a smile to your face. It's enjoyable.

    Everything can be improved/tied together with boobs.

    It'll be interesting to see whether the TV show will have all the sequels as cannon or not - and it'd be great if Earl and Burt were back in the fold, too! Very little info on the ground at the moment, but more Tremors is a-ok by me!

    It's 'BMX Bandits' meets 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' by way of a pale-skinned youth spent locked inside with a stack of exploitation flicks rented from the local video store!

    Chillerama (Green/Lynch/Rifkin/Sullivan, 2011) DVD Review:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2016/...nsullivan.html

    Featuring Werebears, a nymphomaniac Eva Braun, an enormous killer spermatozoa, and an outbreak of horny zombies – which accounts for just the tip of the bizarre idea iceberg – Chillerama is, to put it mildly, just a little bit strange...

    V/H/S: Viral - a rant/review:
    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2016/...antreview.html

    Remember how the second movie was a considerable step up in quality over the first? Well the third is a gargantuan step down...

    http://deadshed.blogspot.co.uk/2016/...lu-raydvd.html

    A late-in-his-career blast of contemporary crime thriller violence from the horror auteur, which was lost - remaining unseen - in a legal limbo for more than twenty years.
