May issue of Rogue Cinema is online!

The new issue of Rogue Cinema is now online and includes a good chunk of stuff to browse through.
This issue contains THREE new interviews, FOUR new articles, and SIXTEEN new movie reviews. Sadly, none of this stuff is mine. But that's what happens when you become completely burnt out from writing. :-(

But wait, there's more! Also included in this issue is the first batch of indie films to win the ROGUE CINEMA EXCELLENCE AWARD and the premiere of our monthly SLEEPOVER GIRL OF THE MONTH! (Our first, and hopefully not last RC Sleepover girl is Zoe Hunter, the red-headed cutie pictured below!)


Next month is a month of big anniversary's for the Rogues and yours truly. As of June 1st, Rogue Cinema will be on its THIRD YEAR! Also, this June marks the 5th year since the Rogue Reviewers first came together and started reviewing b-movies! And finally, June 6th marks the B-Movie Film Vault's SEVENTH year online! Enjoy this issue folks, and stay tuned for the big 3rd anniversary issue of Rogue Cinema on June 1st!

Gone for the day.

I'm about to leave to help my dad do a bit of logging (to explain: our neighbor owns a ton of land and allows us to go up on his mountain and cut down a few trees every now and again so that we can cut the wood, split it, and use it for firewood during the, thus far, harsh winters up here. Plus we sell any extra wood we have for a bit of extra cash.) and after that I'm going to Scranton for the rest of the night. If all goes well, I will be seeing "Hot Fuzz" tonight and from what I hear, it is friggin' awesome!

I'll be back tomorrow afternoon and will be typing up a little something for Rogue Cinema. (I'll either be finishing up a half-done kaiju article and/0r my usual Genre Watch stuff. Plus, I may even do a review or two. It all depends on how I feel tomorrow.)

Well take care everyone! Blog ya later!

Henry Winkler clone arrested in Boise, Idaho!

While most would have written this off as a goofy mugshot of a one David Miranda (who saw fit to drive with a revoked or suspended license), I see the true implications. The government, or possibly even a secret scientific research project independently funded by eccentric billionaires, has done the unthinkable: They have cloned Fonzi! How many other "has been" celebs have been cloned? I cannot say, but they are all around us. Heck, the proof has been staring us in the face for decades and yet we were so blind! They cloned Jack Nicholson, but totally botched their experiment. Jack is just simply one of a kind, and is so cool that science cannot even duplicate his coolness, even with cloning. The horrifying result of this experiment was of course, Christian Slater! (AAAAAAAAHHHH!) Years later, a second cloning project occured before our very eyes, and yet we did not see it! I speak of course about Tom Cruise's constantly smiling clone, Val Kilmer! This insanity must end and someone has to put an end to it, before our world is overrun by these monstrous clones! And furthermore.... uh... hmmm.... you know, now that I've had a good look at this photo... I've come to an even more shocking conclusion. This is no clone of Henry Winkler, but is in fact Henry Winkler himself, in a fright wig! HA! Your fake wig and fake bad license have betrayed you Mr. Winkler! Now your secret is out and a legion of papparazi are on their way to take embarrassing photos of you!

Of course I could be wrong on both counts. This guy could very well be Henry Winkler's twin brother that was seperated at birth. Either that or it's his bastard son that was the result of a scandalous affair! Or maybe the truth is a combination of all four of these conspiracy theories! It boggles my mind!

Well I'm off to do some stuff before bed, but feel free to post your thoughts on this b-movie fans. Together, we may be able to crack this case wide open! Hahahaha! ;-)

A good quote!

I saw this quote in the bottom of someone's e-mail and I liked it so much that I'm going to share it YOU (then it's back to doing laundry):

"A pessimist complains about the wind; an optimist hopes it will change; a realist ajusts the sail."

However, it doesn't beat "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." That has to be one of my all-time favorite quotes.

I still think my favorite movie quote is: "What a wonderful world it would be if alcohol flowed in our veins."

Well I'm gonna get back to my laundry and watch a flick, but feel free to share some of your favorite historical and cinematic quotes in the meantime! Blog ya later!

Amazon is still pissing me off... oh and this is my 100th blog post! Cool!

I finally updated my Amazon a-Store (a.k.a. The B-Movie Film Vault DVD Shop) and what a chore that was. I guess Amazon is redoing parts of their massive site, including their page that earlier today did show the latest DVD releases for the past few weeks. For some reason, the handy lists of upcoming and hot new releases are now gone so I had to go elsewhere for what I needed. Undaunted, I ended up going to DVD Verdict and painstakingly updated my dvd shop over the course of two hours.

With that done, I will now go to bed and end my 100th Blog Post! G'night b-movie fans... err... actually good morning! :-P

Random Thought: Big dudes in tiny cars. What is up with that?!

Tonight at work, a customer that is about six or seven inches taller than me and a lot wider around the waist than I am, drove off in a very small luxury car. This sight jogged something in my brain and I began wondering. Why do big guys always drive small cars? And also, why do smaller dudes drive hilariously enormous vehicles? (Oh yeah, because they're small and insecure, that's why. Well that's one mystery solved!) While this doesn't apply to everyone that owns a vehicle, I'm baffled as to why this guy wasn't driving something that he could easily fit into. My only theory is that he, and like-minded "big dudes" prefer driving in smaller cars in order to make them look even bigger. Anyone else have any theories that they'd like to suggest? I'm all ears....

Well that's my random thought for the day, I'm going to go and watch a flick or play a video game.... or both. Blog ya later!

Argh! Amazon make me angry! Hulk Smash!

I finally decide to sit down and update my Amazon a-Store (which just scored me two sales and about 20 cents in commission.... ok I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's not far off the mark from what Amazon gives us "associates." I agree with my main man Duane that we should at least get 10% of the profit for each sale, rather than 4 - 5 %. I think Amazon can afford it.), and the damn site isn't working! I let the store go for over two weeks and now everything's out of date and there's not a single thing I can do about it until later tonight after work. Grrrr.....

If anyone from Amazon reads this (highly doubtful, but there's always a chance), GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR, AND GET THE BUGS FIXED ASAP! AND GIVE ME A FREE DVD OR FIVE FOR MY PAIN AND SUFFERING! ;-)
