If you haven’t figured out, after 3 years and over 200 episodes, we have a serious liking for “bad” movies. Up until now, we’ve stuck pretty close to our goal of finding the good things to say about many of the films we’ve covered, but we haven’t really delved into the “Mockbuster” just yet. But, what is a mockbuster? To quote Wikipedia…
So, because we do love a challenge here, we have dedicated October to be a 5-week celebration of the Mockbuster. Here are the 5 films we’ll be discussing in October…
October 2 – Transmorphers
This is going to be a fun one. I grew up as a Transformers kid (admittedly, I still am one too), so rest assured this will have my attentions right off the bat.
October 9 – Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies
What better way to celebrate a presidential election year than by going back in time to the untold story of how Lincoln killed the zombies. That’s in the history books, right?
October 16 – American Warships
I know we haven’t covered Battleship yet, but we’ll want to make sure all our bases are covered. Mid-month, we’ll hit the open sea and pray that we have a life jacket. Big things are bound to go boom.
October 23 – Cocaine Shark
Cocaine Shark-do-do-da-do-do-do, Cocaine Shark-do-do-da-do-do-do, Cocaine Shark-do-do-da-do-do-do, Cocaine Shark.
October 30 – Paranormal Entity
Lo and behold, a two-fer celebration at the end of the month. A mockbuster designed to scare the socks off you. Okay, it’s probably not scary…and you may not be wearing socks. But still…there is no better way to end the “Month Of Mock” than with a frightfest.
And, there you have it. The 5 movies that will make up Mocktober. Now, here’s where you come in. We want to celebrate with you. So, If you’ve seen any of these movies, let us know in the comments below what you thought of them. We want to shout you out, so be sure to drop us a line.
It's Not That Bad
