Day 20- Wednesday, October 20th

Some old favorites, some new unknowns... we're watching 100 movies in 31 days!
#57- Cold Storage (2008)- Like a poorly made TV movie of the week, Cold Storage has some decent elements about it, but in the end it's just slow and plodding, and not enough of anything interesting to make it necessary viewing.

Joellle Carter is one of the movie's bright spots, as we already love her from her work in TV's Justified. Nick Searcy is good too, though he doesn't have a very tight script to work with. This one felll way flat.


#58-Big Tits Zombie (2010)- What a ridiculous mess. I was thinking maybe it would be along the lines of Tokyo Gore Police; plenty gratuitous violence, some gratuitous nudity, maybe some crazy combination of both (naked zombie fighting.) But no. All I got was plenty of gratuitous stupidity and a 73 minute headache. Also, 73 minutes of my life are now gone, and they aren't coming back anytime soon.

Misleading title, annoying Japanese humor, hot chicks who don't get naked near enough, and plenty of sub par manga crap-horror... I shoulda skipped it.


#60- Sculpture (2010)- Had I known this was one of those cheesy looking soft core porn type of movies, I would have skipped it. I guess seeing the name Misty Mundae should be the only clue I needed, as she's pretty much the queen of soft core porn, and not much else. That's no knock on you Misty, you look great naked, but get in some better movies, would ya?

Anyway, this is one of those cheapo movies that feels like it should be on Cinemax at 2 a.m. sandwiched between Bikini Car Wash Massacre 3 and Tigers in Lipstick. I'm all for tits and ass, but it has to come along with a decent movie, especially when you're calling it horror.

Movies like this have their fan-base and surely have their place, but it's just not in my DVD player.


#61- Tremors (1990)- (FULL REVIEW HERE) I needed a pallet cleanser after the last three movies I (we) had to endure, so I grabbed this and threw it in, before I sunk into a "crappy horror" depression.

You should all know Tremors well, and most if not all of you should love it. For those of you that have no clue what this movie is, click the full review link above and learn something!


That's 61/100 movies watched so far, so we had better get back to it... I swear, no more crappy movies or else...

OURstory: Michael Anderson, NASA African American Astronaut

OURstory must be shared at all times of the year, not just in February. I think it is important that our young people challenge themselves in K-12 with science and math classes. Perhaps it will help if this blog shares examples of African American role models who used their knowledge of science and math to create exciting futures for themselves.

For example, Did you know that a young brother named Michael Anderson was born December 25, 1959, in Plattsburgh, New York. He graduated from Cheney High School in Cheney, Washington in 1977. He received a bachelor of science degree in physics/astronomy from University of Washington in 1981. Later he earned a master of science degree in physics from Creighton University.

He successfully got a job with NASA in December 1994. Anderson flew for over 593 hours in space. One of his spaces flight was in January 1988 on the Shuttle Endeavor.

His last flight was in 2003. Anderson was part of a 7-member shuttle mission launched by NASA on January 16, 2003. Space Shuttle Columbia was on a 16-day mission to research microgravity and other Earth science related experiments.

The seven member crew, David Brown, Laurel Clark, Michael Anderson, Ilan Ramon, Rick Husband, Kalpana Chawla and William McCool died on February 1, 2003 when Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry.

It was later determined that a piece of foam broke free and struck the shuttles wing during launch, damaging the thermal heat tiles which protect the shuttle from extreme temperatures during reentry into the atmosphere.

Michael Anderson was a hero. He was a role model for all of us. May he rest in peace.
