Updates to BMFV DVD Shop + Vault heads toward its best month yet!

After I got home tonight, I tinkered around with the BMFV DVD Shop for a few hours. I'm slowly rebuilding the store from the ground up, and have added several categories (Cult TV Shows and Popular Horror Franchises) and have added multiple subcategories for each page. I'm taking full advantage of all the extra space Amazon is providing aStore users, and should have the store fully rebuilt in a few more weeks.

In other Vault news, the traffic to the site has gone through the roof this month! This has easily been my best month ever, since the movie from Geocities, and people are streaming into the Vault by the hundreds from all over the world. (I guess putting up three new reviews in a month could be the cause of the sudden increase?) Thanks (danke, gracias, etc.) for visiting the site and helping to support the b-movie cause!

Well, I'm going to watch a flick and head off to sleep. Currently I've begun work on my next update at the Vault. I'm going to be updating two older reviews for "The Battle in Outer Space" (1959) and "The Mysterians" (1957) and putting them back into the Vault archives. After that, I'll finally dive into "The Host" (2006), then concentrate my efforts on another old review or two (quite possibly "Uncle Sam" (1997) and "Uninvited" (1988), and finally, on the last weekend of October, I'll be reviewing "Ernest Scared Stupid" (1991) for October's Halloween roundtable.

That's all I have for you tonight gang, so once again, thanks for reading, and be sure to keep fighting the good fight for b-movie lovers everywhere!

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)
Cinema Suicide - First Spaceship on Venus (1960)
Darksider's Realm - The Stuff (1985)
Side Order of Ninjas - The Green Slime (1968)
The Tomb of Anubis - The H-Man (1958)
wtf-Film - Enemy From Space (1955) & Quartermass 2 (1955)

Enjoy all the reviews b-movie fans and thanks for all the support you've given all our websites! Stay tuned for more new (and old) reviews at the Vault, plus, expect another roundtable event at the end of October! Blog ya later!

Another update on my latest review.

I completed the Characters and Plot section. That just leaves the Film Review and Extras portions of my "Beware! The Blob" review. If all goes well, the completed b-movie review will be uploaded by late Tuesday - early Wednesday. Sorry for the delay and good night!

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!
