Fuck me, I really tried to be funny with that first post and to see if anyone would fall for it. Not untill now do I realize that I used the wrong title (Manhunter)!

And to think I actually sat there and laughed a little at my own cleverness and smug humor after I posted...

Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings
"A fantasy epic in the tradition of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings."

The DVD cover even lets the sucker renting/purchasing it that it's a double-team of cash-ins.

I much prefer the "Out of Food". Maybe it's some sort of autobiopic for the filmmakers or some Living in Oblivion shit.

Wouldn't they just call that "Velocity" and speaking of which. Where the hell is the film adaptation of "Billy and the Cloneasaurus"?

Fear dot Com was a blatant rip-off of The Ring only with a website standing in for the tape. God, the sad part is my brother has it on DVD. I can't even bring myself to watch that after seeing it in the theater. The only good part of watching Jeffrey Combs soil his career with this flick were the retards sitting behind me crying and fighting. I mean actual retards! There was so much funny stuff happening behind me I think my eyes were on them for the last half of the flick.

The stunning part: it hit theaters BEFORE the Ring. I know, The Ring was a remake, but if you're cashing in on a film--and I genuinely think they were as even the title fonts are similar--best to wait until after it's hit theaters.

The best thing about Feardotcom is that the website in the film was feardotcom.com

The animation looks like it's made with MS Paint and the dialogue sounds like it's recorded in someone's bathroom.

The italian Black Emanuelle films are pretty damn cool. A rare example of a rip off being much better than the original.
Sylvia Kristel hasnt got a chance against Laura Gemser.

Not the first time Quartermain hasa been the subject of an Indiana Jones ripoff. In the 80's, Canon Pictures made a pair of Quartermain movies starring Richard Chamberlin in the form of "King Solomon's Mines" and "Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold".

The cool thing about their site is they let people post negative comments, like this one:

The movie will probably be just a generic disaster movie, but the poster sure looks familiar.

I always love reading the back of these DVDs for a chuckle at video stores.


The one's that make me pretty angry are the imports that are "polished" up to appeal to idiots. I bought the Election 2 DVD import about a year ago and loved the subtle cover art it had.

I noticed it had finally hit the US a few months back and the clever folk of whoever the fuck is the distro. here photoshopped a tiny gun into one of the characters hands.

I guess that makes me the movie more hardcore.
