Ski School (1991)
Cult Classic!
Sure, this flick would never be an Oscar contender, but does anyone really give a flying monkey! The important thing is that you can sit back, view this mayhem, and chuckle yourself into convulsions! Rising star of the slopes John E. Roland (Tom Breznahan, brother of Kevin and star of horror flicks such as The Brain (1988), Twice Dead (1988) and Mirror, Mirror (1990)), winds up in the infamous section 8, a collection of party animals led by Dave Marshack (a very amusing Dean Cameron - why this guy never became famous beats the hell out of me?), who is far more interested in beer and babes - who wouldn't be!!!, rather than being the saint of the slopes. Along with other members Ed (Patrick Labortyeaux, brother of Matthew) and "Fitz" Fitgerald (who equally matches Dean Cameron is the comedy department, who, too, deserves more these days), they set out to claim the mountain and win the annual event when they learn they're being forced out of their accommodation, due to their rowdy nature. Throw in some gorgeous females, most notably the stunning Charlie Spradling (wife of Jason London), and you have all the ingredients of a cult classic. Sadly, only Dean Cameron was to return for the sequel, due to financial difficulties. He, alone, makes the sequel worthwhile. So, settle in one evening, grab some beer and pizzas, then sit back and take in this madcap flick!
Spookies (1986)
1986 award winner for best entertainment?
Sure, when viewing clunkers like this, you certainly should know what to expect. But seriously, it wasn't even on the level of it's so dreadful you can have a few laughs. It was mentioned that two seperate films were combines together to make one hell of a crummy film. Film year old children could write better dialogue (notice the writer's/filmmaker's have never reappeared!!!) and the acting level is that of a pre-schoolers Xmas pagent, where the children are far better!!! These actors a dull, lifeless, without any spirit in them whatsoever!!! The character Duke is played by Nick Gionta and I remember he was in a teen magazine back in the late 80's and he was a supposed rising star, but what the hell happened to Mr. Gionta? He disappeared like the rest involved in this tripe!!!
