Progress report on "Legend of Dinosaurs" and "Puppet Master."

Just thought I'd check in and let you guys know that I'm slowly but surely finishing up my next two reviews. Here is how things are progressing right now:

"Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds" (Approx. 65% complete)
Completed sections: Characters, Memorable Quotes, and Commentary.
The Plot section is roughly 75% done, after that I just have to write the film and dvd review, then add some trivia, movie recommendations, and a download link for the soundtrack.

"Puppet Master" (Approx. 5% complete)
Completed sections: None
I've been trying to finish up "Legend of Dinosaurs" so I can get to this movie, but that damned review keeps getting longer and longer.... My review page is set up for "Puppet Master" and I've watched and taken notes on the movie and the disc.

My goal was to get both reviews done and posted by Saturday afternoon, but it looks like they'll be postponed until next week as I won't be home on Sunday. Sorry for the delay, but I just haven't had a good FULL day to sit down and bang these reviews out, so I'll just have to keep chiseling away at them a bit more every day.

Well g'night b-movie fans, and keep fighting the good fight!

Bloody Blood - The Cult Movie Trailers Blog!

I've been meaning to link to and post about this blog for a while. The Bloody Blood - Cult Trailers Blog is chock full of trailers for hundreds of cult, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and b-films! The blog is fairly easy to navigate, thanks to all the labels, and there's even a large collection of cult movie interviews that the blogmaster has found all over the web! This is nifty blog to spend some time in so head on over and give it a look!

Oh and just because I love this movie, and because I found the trailer for it at Bloody Blood, here is the official trailer for "SABATA:"

Some handy Tax Refund / Tax Rebate links!

For those of you that know me pretty well: You all know how awful I am at A) balancing my checkbook and B) spending money wisely. Well, due to my being a "good Samaritan" the other night, and due to my inability to keep track of all the checks I write, I have overdrawn on my bank account and have been hit with some fees. (Curse you Pennstar!) Because of this, I'm now even more anxious to receive my tax return in the mail, as I'm sure a lot of you are. Today I went to www.irs.gov to find out how soon I will be getting my money.

To find out when your tax refund will be sent to you CLICK HERE and type in your social security number and the exact amount you are expecting to get back. (My refund check is being mailed out tomorrow! Thank the Gods!)

The other question floating around in everyone's mind, is "Am I getting that dang-blasted Tax Rebate that ole President Bushy Jr. keeps gummin' about?" To find out about that, and to see how much you will most likely be getting, CLICK HERE. Have your copy of your tax return forms ready. (According to this Tax Rebate Calculator, I'm due for $600.00! My check should be in the mail by May 23rd! Rock N' Roll!) To find out when you should get your tax rebate, CLICK HERE.

So if you're bad with money like I am, just hang in there! The government will be sending your money soon! If you can't wait and need cash immediately, here's what you can do: Sell your blood, sell your sperm (or ovum if you're of the female persuasion), sell your body, roll change, mow a lawn, shovel a driveway, do small oddjobs for your neighbors, hire yourself out as a hitman, or become a scientific guinea pig for a day.

Well I must be off to work, so have a great day b-movie fans! Blog ya later!

Guest posting disabled at the Vault Forums!

Despite security upgrades and the best efforts of myself and fellow moderators, spammers kept slipping through and posting pornographic material all over my Forum. Therefore I have disabled guest posting in the Forum, permanently. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hopefully this doesn't stop any of you that did post as a guest from joining our small, but friendly, group in the It Came from the Vault Forum! Please register to become a member and chat it up with the rest of us!

Now please excuse me, I've got two reviews to finish up and post before this weekend. Take it easy b-movie fans!

Capsule review for Dai-Nipponjin now posted!

Hello dear readers and fellow b-movie fans! I'm currently finishing up work on two reviews, so here's a little something to hold you over until I'm done:

CLICK HERE to read my capsule review for "Dai-Nipponjin!"

"Dai-Nipponjin" is an insane comedy/mockumentary about the darker side of being a giant Japanese superhero! Meet Masaru Daisatou: He's in his forties, is heading towards divorce, makes barely enough money to survive, and is Japan's only hope against giant monsters! Whenever his country is threatened by kaiju, Masaru gets ritualistically electrocuted to become Dai-Nipponjin (pictured above). Read more about this film at IMDB.com, and visit the official Dai-Nipponjin website!

Stay tuned for two new full-length reviews for "Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds" and "Puppet Master!" I'm currently in the process of writing each and hope them both posted within the next few nights. Have a good night b-movie fans and keep fighting the good fight!
