What kind of movies do you review here? As a devoted fan of all things science fiction, fantasy and horror I gravitate towards films that feature such themes. Growing up as I did and being exposed to films from the 1940’s and 1950’s a great deal, I cultivated a love and passion for such movies from all eras. Thus, the vast majority of films that will pop up on this site will fit into one of those categories, whether it be an 80’s slasher flick, a 50’s giant radioactive monster movie, a 60’s gothic horror epic, a classic Universal horror from the 30’s or 40’s, or anything else from the last 75 years or so.
Personally, I love films from the 1950’s the best. There is just something about the American culture of that decade permeating those films that really draws me to them. It can be a cheezy alien invasion story, a movie with gigantic radioactive bugs or anything else – if it is from the 50’s, I’m guaranteed to love it.
Through a complex formula involving planetary alignments, NASDAQ numbers, barometric pressure at predetermined locations around the globe and the current contents of my refrigerator. Actually, I just pick whatever film jumps out at me the most.
Lots and lots of practice. Not to sound like some annoying old person, but I grew up in a time before such neato inventions like Cable TV, Home Video, On Demand Movies, downloading off the internet and any other method by which a person can see the exact film they want to see, right now. Back when I was a kid, we took what we could get and that often meant tuning into some godawful movies in the wee hours of the night. We didn’t dare miss them, and we had no way to record them so we ended up subjecting ourselves to both the good and the bad. All those years of such movie watching has helped to build an immunity to such craptacular films.
Unfortunately, although many sites actually feature guest reviews, mine does not. I don’t want to sound too snarky, but this site is a personal labor of love for me and I just don’t wish to give that up. My suggestion to anyone who wants to write reviews is this: open your own review site. Its fun and its a great way to really get involved in something that you already love, but on an even deeper level. Just be prepared for some hard work.
This one can be blamed on the format for my reviews. They are a bit on the big side. Ok, they’re friggin’ huge. With such a format, which features numerous sections and various media, it takes a while to complete a single review.
Again, this is due
to time constraints. I could probably finish more reviews each month if
I tried, but that would mean sacrificing a lot of others things to do
so. Not only would I get cranky, I’d get burned out really quick.
How many movies do you have waiting to be reviewed? Dozens and dozens. While I have numerous films marked for eventual review, I usually only have two or three lined up at any given time. Suffice to say that at the rate I’m going, I’ll still be at this when films that were released this past year are considered old.
Spare time? What’s that? Seriously, I do try and devote time to the many other interests I have: reading voraciously, watching all my DVDs, playing the occasional video game and pursuing one of my hobbies.
While not all of them would
be considered “B Movies,” I have over 1000 film titles in my
DVD collection.
Do you own all the movies that you review here or do you rent them? While I may rent a movie that I have never seen before, if I decide to review it for the Graveyard, I will go ahead and purchase a copy...so yes, I have paid good money for all the movies reviewed here, even the crappy ones.
