A Bad Movie Roundup

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! If you’re anything like me, you love terrible films. In the bad movie club to which I belong, Yakmala, we’ve watched a lot of truly awful crimes against celluloid. Here are some reviews to keep you nice and warm and maybe pick an enjoyably bad flick to work off that New Year hangover.

Ator, the Fighting Eagle: A swords and sorcery would-be epic that’s totally cool with incest.

The Avengers: John Steed and Emma Peel stage an informal contest over who can give less of a shit.

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000: Aliens vs. cavemen in the distant future.

The Beaver: Jodie Foster would like to know what the fuck you’re laughing about.

Blood Freak: A man smokes some pot, grows a turkey head, and becomes a vampire. No, seriously.
