Mystery Science Theater 3000: Vol. XXIV
.
Synopsis: The cult comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 has always welcomed immigrant films with open arms. One can almost imagine a Satellite of Liberty greeting the waves of foreign films seeking a more prosperous life in America. Its inscription might well read, Give me your tired plots, your poor acting, your muddled directors yearning to be schlock-free. It is in this spirit that Volume XXIV presents four of cinema’s transplants from Russia, Italy and two from Japan, that simply didn’t take. Thankfully, Joel, Mike and their band of robot brothers (Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot) alleviate their (and our) suffering by watching these movies with a joyously irreverent stream of higher consciousness. You will have in your hands a collection of passports to laughter. Consider them riffed and stamped by those tormented souls aboard the Satellite of Love. Titles include Fugitive Alien, Star Force: Fugitive Alien II, The Sword And The Dragon & Samson Vs. The Vampire Women.
.
Bottom Line: We’re big proponents of owning every single volume of MST3K because they’re the ones that inspired us to do what we do today. So on that note — OWN IT!

Synopsis: In a world connected by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Miley Cyrus stars as a teen girl navigating through the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship, while dodging her protective mother (Demi Moore), in the fresh coming-of-age comedy LOL.
.
Bottom Line: Unless you’re a teenage girl reading this site, you should have absolutely no interest in watching this movie. Hell, I take that back. Even if you are a teenage girl, there are way better uses of your time. Like watching painting dry or the grass grow. Also, this movie sat on the shelf for a couple of years, so what does that tell you… — FORGET IT!

Synopsis: Josh Hutcherson, Dane Cook and Spencer Locke star in Detention, a hipster, teen horror-comedy where the local students of Grizzly Lake must survive their final year of high school. Standing in their way is Cinderhella, a slasher-movie killer who has seemingly come to life and is preying on the school’s student body. As the clock ticks and the bodies pile up, the likely suspects are embroiled in a race against time to stop Cinderhella and ultimately save the word… if only they can get out of detention.
.
Bottom Line: Aside from the fact that Dane Cook is in this movie and that I hate anything that features Dane Cook, this looks kind of fun and potentially worth a rental — RENT IT!
