I've been selecting mine at random after accumulating stuff onto my Amazon watchlist. So I have no expectations.

I did recently add both Island of Death and Mother to my list. Would be nice for better once, disappointing I've only seen one I've given as high as a B+ to, but I guess that's better than coming across an F.

i don't think anyone should give island of death a watch. tigg was cruel for ever suggesting it, even if it was just for others to share in his misery. :P

Have you seen Man's Best Friend? That is a pretty quality watch for a B-movie. And Lance Henriksen is in it.

I've got lots of new watches lined up. Not gonna get to them all, but of the ones I'm pretty certain I'll watch, I think either The Blob (1988) or The Exorcist III: The Heretic will be my favorite. Haven't seen either of those and I've only seen The Exorcist and no other movie in the franchise.

I don't think so, but it's on youtube and I've got it bookmarked. Thanks for the suggestion.

anna and the apocalypse,
I didn't care for that at all, but you'll probably be one of the few that might actually enjoy it. Not that I have anything against musicals, but the musical numbers were just dumb High School Musical type songs which just sucked.

isn't the heretic the subtitle for exorcist 2? exorcist III is awesome though, so definitely watch that!

Si. And yes, Exorcist III: Legion is fantastic.

2 is pretty lousy.

I liked Stage Fright more and at least the songs were prevalent to the story progression. I don't know, I guess it's more akin to Repo, but with random dance numbers throughout.

Seconded. I remember my cousin and I cruised around to like 5 different Blockbusters late one night on the hunt for that bitch (namely because it was a preview on Judgment Night). Found it, watched it, wasn't worth all that hassle, but I dug it.

Damn, those were the days. Hunting at videos stores for a b-horror movie simply because I liked the preview.
