I read that after viewing this film, Denzel Washington got so mad he actually turned into Malcolm X. Spike Lee was there to document the whole thing.
I think this would make a good double feature with "The Toy" or "Soul Man".

Rad
I remember watching this on Betamax at my friend Kevin's house when I was 8. It must have been first movie I ever saw because I thought it was awesome.
The Lair of the White Worm
Ken Russell is one of my favorite directors. Every time he makes a movie, he tries to top himself with the amount of crazy shit he puts in. Today, I wanted to post the trailer for his 1991 film titled "Whore", but couldn't find it on youtube. Instead, we have "The Lair of the White Worm", starring Hugh Grant, and this one looks pretty nuckin futs.
Tuff Turf
"They can't shut him down...and they can't cool him off!"
I wonder if this tagline would work for any other James Spader movie.

House II: The Second Story
Of all the bad movies that were shown a hundred times a month during the daytime on HBO when I was a kid, I think this one was my favorite.
School Spirit
Even I have to admit, this looks REALLY shitty. I had never heard of this movie before I saw this trailer. I wanted to put up a trailer for a bad teen sex comedy from the 80s and I stumbled across this non-gem. Enjoy-
Double Feature: Captain America, The Fantastic Four
In the wake of this summer's comic book movies, today's entry involves two little seen, low budget, Marvel super hero films from the 90's.
First up- "Captain America" from 1990. That's J.D. Salinger's son as Captain America. Crazy, huh?
And now, "The Fantastic Four" from 1994. This one was never actually released. It was made because the company that owned the film rights to FF had to have a completed movie by a certain date or they would lose their option on the characters. Unfortunately, the company did not let the cast and crew know that the film was never intended to be released.

Split Second
There's 3 reasons I want to see this-
1. It takes place in the future of 2008!
2. Rutger Hauer is in it (any film with Rutger Hauer is required viewing).
3. It seems to have every single cop-movie cliche there is.

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
Okay, so I could probably put up any of Troma's trailers on this, but I think this one may be a special case. I don't really know why this trailer has stuck with me since viewing. Maybe it's the actor who's playing the Colonel Sanders knockoff, and his reaction to having a chicken-zombie jump up out of his boul movemet and attack him.
Maximum Overdrive
Hi there,
I've decided, after reading some of my previous blogs, that I am a horrible, horrible writer. I should never again try to write down my thoughts onto paper (or a computer screen). Nothing I write seems to have any meaning whatsoever.
Which is why here at blogspot I am now starting my very own column. It's called "Kenny's Trailer Park". It will feature super-awesome trailers, that may or may not be from quality films. We're not talking new here, most of these will be circa 70's and 80's.
Some of the films for these trailers I have seen, others I have not, but I am planning to because they look so darned rad from the trailer.
First up, Stephen King's directorial debut from 1986-
