B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - DEAD END (2003)

Made for less than a million dollars, the slightly obscure Dead End is a chilling little indie you don't want to miss. It might just be the best Christmas horror movie no one ever heard of and every dollar is up there on the screen. It's quirky, weird, funny, bizarre, and scary all at once. Black comedy for sure but much more, this would make a nice double feature with The Perfect Host, another movie we're big on around here. So, grab some eggnog and a snack or two and check out the inimitable Ray Wise with legendary Lin Shaye as they take their family down a wrong turn, what's up with this road? Why doesn't it end? After all, they're just trying to make it to Christmas Eve dessert at Frank's mother's house. Tubi, Plex, Freevee, enjoy! 2.75 stars/2.75

WRAPPING UP THE JUNE SUMMER ISSUE WITH "CAMP CUCAMONGA" (TV 1990) - JENNIFER ANISTON'S FIRST MOVIE

 
The basic idea behind this project was to gather as many big TV stars around in 1990 and use it as a vehicle for those names. Did it work? Negatory. 

A basic series of vignettes instead of a plot. Most the actors look out of place, it becomes a Gumball Rally kind of flick. When Sherman Hensley isn't even funny or enthused, you know you got problems. 

Point of interest here being Jennifer Aniston;'s first movie, third outing. Some alright locations, honestly I can't find much good to say about this one. Worth one watch for cinephiles.  1.0 stars/2.75

THE SUMMER FUN CONTINUES WITH JULY'S B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IT IS FROM THESE 3 CLUES?
1. A Crown International obscurity.
2. stars a pretty actress in her debut, she went on to become a star.
3. It has to deal with condoms and diamonds.
