"Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama" review

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988)

Directed by David DeCoteau
Writing credits Sergei Hasenecz

Andras Jones.... Calvin
Linnea Quigley.... Spider
Robin Stille.... Babs Peterson (as Robin Rochelle)
Brinke Stevens.... Taffy
Michelle Bauer.... Lisa (as Michelle McClellen)

Three mega B-movie babes, (Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer), converge on this movie in an attempt to save it from being thrown in the garbage where it belongs. They are the only good thing about this disaster. Brinke and Bauer get naked in a shower scene. Sorority babes are into cleanliness. Me too! Loved it. Bauer also gets naked in a locker room scene at the Bowl-O-Rama. A nymphomaniac spell is put on her and the viewer is in heaven.The trip to heaven is short lived though as the movie returns to non-naked Bauer scenes and sends the viewer crashing down to Earth. For some strange reason, Quigley does not get naked. *Sniff* Oh well. You can't win them all.

Speaking of losing, I was trying to laugh along to Uncle Impie and his stupidity. I couldn't do it though. I think the main reason is that he's not funny. The Imp gets released from a bowling trophy and impy things happen. The fat guy was kind of amusing and the geek who got drunk off of one beer made me smile. But overall, it was painful.

Still, the movie is not completely worthless. Super babes Bauer, Stevens and Quigley make it worth checking out once. The shower scene may be worth checking out a couple of times.

SCORE: 1.5 out of 4 for three mega B-babes


Good clean sorority fun.

Speaking of cleaning, going to need a shower after this...

"Bad Moon" review


Bad Moon (1996)

Directed by Eric Red
Writing credits Wayne Smith Eric Red

Mariel Hemingway.... Janet
Michael Paré.... Uncle Ted
Mason Gamble.... Brett
Primo.... Thor

I remember when this movie came out, the only advertising I saw for it was this cool poster in the movie theater lobby. I was walking out of a movie on Thursday night and there was a poster for a werewolf movie coming out tomorrow. I was in shock. Why had I not heard about this movie before? Who was in charge of this marketing disaster? "Bad Moon" was left to die a horrible death. It had to gamble on how many horror fans caught it's poster before they yanked it. Tragic.

So I caught the movie the following week and was ready for some werewolf action. There had been a huge drought of these kinds of films and I needed a heavy drink. Before the movie started a woman wandered into the theater and asked me, "What's this movie about?". I stood up and proudly told her, "It's a werewolf movie about a werewolf!!" She shrugged her shoulders and sat down. So "Bad Moon" had to hope for patrons getting lost on the way to other movies. More tragedy.

The movie began and dang it, I liked it! Now "Bad Moon" doesn't have what one would call a complicated story. The wayward brother becomes a werewolf and moves in with his sister. That's it. But the werewolf makeup was great and the kills were fantastic. The hot babe who gets it at the beginning was appropriately bloody and, of course, the big climax scene with Thor was great. As werewolf movies go, it was a good one. I wish the powers that be had shown it a little more love in releasing it. It needed it.

SCORE: 3 out of 4 vicious werewolves
