Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama is without a shadow of a doubt, the kind of flaming garbage that you can't help but kind of like, a perfectly imperfect 80s horror that has just about enough silliness to make it watchable.
This means that the dialogue is balls awful, the effects are laughably cheap, and the films title is obviously miles better than the actual film.

It's directed by David DeCoteau (a phrase that doesn't exactly carry a stamp of excellence) which usually means that you're in for an underwhelming experience that borders on softcore porn, which is an accurate assessment in this case. Sorority Babes also doesn't really have any gore just to put the cherry on top, however, it still has a sort of shitty charm to it.

Despite all it's faults, it does feel like a moment in time, and firmly wedges itself into the pile of 80s horror that I could happily watch again, just for the ridiculous-ness of it all. It also stars genre scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer which is always a plus. There's a even a small role from George "Buck" Flower and the soundtrack is fucking great (fight me).

The first time I read this book, I was in 6th grade and it was for English class. I'm almost positive I didn't even finish it, I'm sure I only read a couple of pages. I don't really remember what I thought other than that it was really boring. I can't say much has changed.

I like the general idea of the book, the story seems somewhat coherent, I just couldn't bring myself to love it. I feel like Buck's story takes so long to reach its climax and then when it does, there's something like 10 pages left in the book and it's supposed to feel wrapped up. It doesn't. As a character, I like Buck and his stubbornness. He's headstrong and knows when to fight and when to just listen. I like the various owners he goes through as he goes on this journey to finally meeting John Thorton. I almost wish there wasn't as deep of a description at the beginning of the book of his life with Judge, but I also feel that adds to the juxtaposition of his life in the North as a sled dog - I'm torn.

I can't say I'll ever pick up this book again and I doubt it'll ever be one that is anywhere near the top of my recommendations list, but I'm glad I read it.

'Game of Death' was the film Bruce Lee was working on when he died. He had stopped working on this to work on 'Enter the Dragon' and never had the opportunity to complete ‘Game of Death.’ The good news is that Lee shot a good 100 minutes worth of footage (only around 30 mins survived, the other 70 mins are lost) for 'Game of Death' (they only used around 12 minutes of this footage in the actual film). The bad news is Robert Clouse came around and tried to make an entire film leading up to the Bruce Lee footage that was shot including Bruce Lee look-a-likes and a cardboard cutout. The entire film is pretty awful since the story is lame and the acting is over dramatic.

The archived footage of Bruce Lee just seems forced and thrown in to try and make a buck while the actual footage of Lee's funeral feels tasteless and inconsiderate. Clouse would unfortunately give birth to something that would spawn many films including Bruce Lee clones starring the likes of Bruce Li; a lukewarm sensation known as Bruceploitation. The actual Bruce Lee footage is some of his best, but is only shown in its entirety in the documentary "A Warrior's Journey" included in the two-disc special edition DVD of ‘Enter the Dragon.’ So the film itself honestly isn’t worth your time unless you really just want to see Sammo Hung’s brief appearance.
