Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (2011) – Given that Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) relied entirely on the novelty of (a) the title and (b) the stunt casting of Debbie Gibson (a flavor of stunt that was mimicked in the next year’s Mega Piranha starring Tiffany), Mega Python vs. Gatoroid follows the same formula-slash-shtick: Low-rent…

New B-movie poster: Shoggoth!
Somewhere, there’s an alternate universe in which this movie was made.
New art — the last at Pandemonium Art Gallery!
Jane, the owner of the Pandemonium Art Gallery where just about all of my originals have been exhibited, made an announcement that the gallery would close at the end of July; while it’s apparently earned its own keep, it cuts into her more successful ventures such as her Youtube painting channel. Alas, I shall actually…
Movies Seen Recently: Rogue One, Rage of the Yeti, Jackie Chan’s First Strike
Rogue One (2016) – The universe of Star Wars is now so broad in the public consciousness that we can start telling — not just for fanboys, but for the general viewing public for which a $200,000,000 budget makes sense — the ancillary stories of the people caught in the huge conflicts.

Movies Seen Recently: American Ninja 2: The Confrontation, Django vs. Sartana, For a Few Dollars More
American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) – I guess after the events of the first movie, Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) and Jackson (Steve James) were designated as the Armed Forces’ official inter-service ninja busters, because this movie sees them being transferred from the Army to a small, undisciplined Marine base in an unnamed tropical country (actually…
Movies Seen Recently: The Curse of Frankenstein, Eliminators, Sartana’s Here… Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) – This was the first of Hammer Films’ Frankenstein films (which led to their other signature “classic monster” franchises, Dracula and the Mummy and thus cementing their reputation as a horror movie company), as well as being the first film to pair the classic duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher…
FanX!
I will be at Salt Lake Comic Con FanX this Friday and Saturday, with a table full of my recent B-movie posters (both 11″x17″ and postcard-size), at table “Teal 6” in Artists Alley, which is… …right where the red dot is in the upper left quadrant. (Click to embiggen.) I am on exactly ONE panel…
Movies Seen Recently: Ninja Apocalypse, The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy, Doctor Strange
Ninja Apocalypse (2014) – In a moment of weakness I bought one of those “12 Sci-Fi Movie” bargain-bin megapacks (our local K-Mart was closing — big discounts!). This is the first movie in the collection that I attacked. So just so you know, I knew going in that it was going to be crap. The…
Utah names!
It’s junior high concert night, so you know what that means: trolling through the program for made-up names! Syndle Kyler Reyse Shaylee Rylee Mersadies Malissa Jayla Paityn Shayia Kortnee Meleah (I wrote this on my phone, and you have no idea how frustrated my autocorrect got.)
New B-Movie Poster: HitlerBot vs. FrankenStalin
You know that moment in Ed Wood (1994) where Ed is at the premiere of Plan 9 From Outer Space and says, “This is the one. This is the one I’ll be remembered for”? Available here.
