Old Bad Movies May Actually Be Good
I just bought Howard the Duck the other day on DVD. As a kid, I loved to watch this film, even though I didn't realize half of the sexual innuedos among other lewd material shown in the film. Despite what every critic has said about this movie, I still like watching it. It's funny to see Jeffrey Jones in his duel portrayal of a scientist and of a Dark Overlord (and then read about his sordid past...yikes!) Another thing that people might not realize or remember is that this movie has a young Tim Robbins in it (even though he seems crazy as hell in it). My whole point for this blog is to try and show that not all movies should be written off immediately after release. Wait 20-30 years and maybe even Gigli might be good (or not...nvm lol). Some movies are seen in a better light years after they come out and it proves that sometimes time does age films for the better.

watch the movie CHUD classic example. it stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. Its a great 80's flick about these mutants that live underneath New York City. Its got John Heard (dad from home alone), Daniel Stern (ha ha also from home alone) and a brief scene with a very young John Goodman. Its funny I was going to buy Howard the Duck the other day too but instead I decided to buy even worst stuff... I bought instead Lepracaun the 3 pack set, and also the VIP's collectors set of Showgirls,it comes with shot glasses, playing cards, and a game that it sort of like pin the tail on the donky but I won't say how. I got these sets for 10 bucks each. I couldn't resist.
