Beware! The Blob (1972) review is online!

My contribution to the BLOB FAMILY PICNIC roundtable is now online! (And only three days late! I'm getting better at meeting deadlines! Hooray! ;-) Out of all the blob and slime-monster films I could have picked, I went with one of the worst in that particular sub-genre. Sure the effects are neat at times (behold the power of reversed footage!) but when the cast is full of annoying and unlikeable characters, a massive man-eating slime creature from space can't chow down fast enough. (Sigh... talk about suffering for your art....) Just click on "Beware! The Blob" (1972) on the list below to check out my review!

Here's the full roster of participating sites and their reviews:
Shadow's B-Movie Graveyard - The Blob (1958)
The B-Movie Film Vault - Beware! The Blob (1972)
Badmovies.Org - The Blob (1988)

WOOHOO! THE GIANTS SCALP THE REDSKINS! BOOYAH!


Hahahahaha! Finally! I knew these guys could do it! The New York Giants got their first win of the season, defeating the Washington Redskins, who had the number one defense, on third downs, in the NFC East... the keyword here being had. After a very bumpy first half, the Giants were down, 14-3, but once they got back on the field after halftime, the Big Blue Wrecking Crew showed what they were made of and trounced the Redskins. The Giant's defense, which as been taking flak from the media and fans, put on a helluva show and completely shut down Washington's offense in the second half.

And speaking of which, the Giants' offense did splendidly in the second half and scored 21 unanswered points! Wide receiver Plaxico Burress racked up some major yardage and was the target of choice for Eli Manning. Plaxico help put the final nail in the coffin, after catching a short pass and running 33 yards into the endzone to put the Giants in the lead during the fourth quarter. Props must also be given to running back, Reuben Droughns, who charged through Washington's endzone defense in the third and fourth quarters, adding to the Giants big win! You guys friggin' rock!

The final score of today's game:
NY GIANTS - 24 | WASHINGTON REDSKINS - 17

The Giants played an excellent game today and I can't wait to see them take down the Philadelphia "Beagles" next week. Let's see the (now) 1-2 Eagles take on a REAL football team! (No offense Detroit fans.)

Now, with Sunday football out of the way, this here Giants fan is going to get back to work on a certain movie review. :-D

Update on "Beware! The Blob" review.

I've gotten a good chunk of my review completed. All I have left to do is finish up a few small chunks of the character section, type up the Plot and Film Review sections, then add some movie recommendations and trivia. It looks like I'll be meeting the September 23rd deadline for this review after all! :-D

Well just wanted to let you know that I'm writing up a storm. G'night b-movie fans!

Space Amoeba (1970) review at the Vault!


Yup, another new review is up at the site for SPACE AMOEBA (1970)! This is perhaps my longest review yet and, in my opinion, is certainly not one of my best. With this review completed and archived, I will begin work on my next one for "BEWARE! THE BLOB" (1972) which should be up by Sunday the 23rd. I'm pretty bad at meeting deadlines and due dates, but I have a feeling that I'll make it this time. :-D

Well it's been a long day! Time for some sleep!
G'night b-movie fans!

Space Amoeba review nearly complete!

Just a little update before I go to bed: I have just completed the enormous PLOT section of my "Space Amoeba" review. All that is left are the FILM AND DVD REVIEW and EXTRAS sections. Since my girlfriend will be here all day tomorrow, I'll be finishing up the review in bits and pieces, but it SHOULD be completed and uploaded by late Monday night. Once the review is up, I'll post about it here.

G'night b-movie fanatics!

Giants suffer another loss, this time to Green Bay.


This is shaping up to be a long season for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew and their fans. While I ended up missing most of today's game against Green Bay, I caught the end of the third and all of the fourth quarter, and what I saw was pretty disheartening. The Giants defense is still sucking big time, and the offense didn't bring their A-game either. In fact, as the commentators mentioned, the Giants all looked down and out, quite possibly due to last week's loss to Dallas. The Packers on the other hand were quite jovial and played a good game all around. Brett Favre was especially good natured, and why shouldn't he be? He just broke a record today for wracking up 149 wins in his long, 17 season career.

Things are looking even bleaker for the Giants as Eli Manning's shoulder may still be giving him a bit of trouble, plus the backup quarterback, Jared Lorenzon suffered a leg injury mere moments after coming in for Eli. That leaves Anthony Wright, who didn't impress me much with his short performance today, so the Giants may be screwed.

The final score of today's game:
GIANTS - 13 | PACKERS - 35

Next week, the Giants will hit the road to take on the Washington Redskins and will hopefully pull off a much needed victory. Good Luck guys!
