Mystery Science Theater 3000

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I have rediscovered these through the magic of obsessive internet collectors. There are a few episodes available on DVD, and the theatrically released movie, however, most episodes are not available due to copyright issues. If you look hard enough, however, many of the best seasons are available on-line.
The first up was Manos: Hands of Fate, once ranked at the very bottom of the IMDB in user reviews. It's really dreadful, and, since it's relatively light on action, dialog and plot, the cast mostly riffs on the extended shots of scenery in which nothing happens. Ten minutes in: "Has the movie started yet?"
Next was Laserblast, a movie Maltin gave two stars. At the end, the cast starts leafing through his movie ratings book, finding films equally as outstanding as Laserblast. "Unforgiven, Eastwood's return to the classic western with a deep and moving storyline, however, it's only half a star better than Laserblast!"
Last night I watched "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell," a late 80's production, if you could call it a production. This one had me on the floor laughing. A princess's dying wish for the protagonist, tasking him to protect a dodgy looking magical crystal, "Protect this with your life!" One of the robots pipes up, "A doorknob from your grandma's house?!?"
If you like really bad movies, or more specifically, making fun of really bad movies, these are great fun to watch. Usually you'll see actors from other popular B movies, who the cast will point out and make fun of. Recomended to all fans of low-to-zero budget cinema.
