Much like Dr. Jones there, I’m about ready to cut the cord and bring this whole blog-a-thon to a crashing end…but not before turning the mic over to a few fellow bloggers. Truthfully, I was hoping to have a longer list of offerings for you readers, but I’m guessing that enduring crappy films isn’t nearly…
The King of Pain: SUMMER SCHOOL
Note: This is my final entry for the King of Pain Blog-a-Thon. Tomorrow I’m hoping to cap it all off by turning the mic over to my fellow bloggers. If you’d like to contribute an entry, this post explains how. -Hatter My long, slow journey across the cinematic River Styx is over, and if there…
The King of Pain: WHAT A GIRL WANTS
My walk through the darkness is almost over…I’m beginning to see the light. Well, something lighter anyway. WHAT A GIRL WANTS is clearly a movie made for kids – so evidenced by the squeaky clean starlet who plays the lead character.

The King of Pain: CAMP CUCAMONGA

The concept was to gather a bunch of actors tv-watchers…
The King of Pain: POPEYE

Back in 1980, Paramount thought it’d be a great idea to make a live-action adaptation of Popeye. They thought it was such a good idea in fact, that they spared no expense: assigning wonder-producer Robert…
The King of Pain: AIRBORNE
We begin to descend into the darkness today dear friends. Today the pain of my kingdom was inflicted upon me in a whole new way. My half-assed research leaves me unable to prove it, but if I had to make a bet, I’d wager that AIRBORNE was greatly funded by Rollerblade. I make the presumption…
The King of Pain: SPACE CAMP
When did we stop dreaming about outer space? As this film played out, I was fascinated by the scores of kids of all ages who were wildly excited to be at Space Camp. Every character – no matter how cool or uncool they are supposed to be – acts as though getting to go to…
