Cheesy B grade movies

I love movies and I'm a sucka for cheesy movie. Like REALLY crap Cheesy movies.

So crap I think some of them should pay me for watching their show. Take this show for example: The MAGUS. When I first watch the show, I thought it was a 1980s movie. The screenplay was so bad it could pass of as comedy. Wait, was the genre really comedy? No, it was action thriller - maybe. But have you seen a thriller going REALLY slowly to the end? It's made last year and it's made so bad I think any amatuer youtube production is better!

We all know that cheesy movies have the same story line, screenplay, script. What many don't know is that they ALL have the same sound track! Yup, you read it right. They all have:

  1. mystical, inspiring music for the beginning
      • when the hero is still innocent
  2. boy meets girl music
      • when the hot girl appears
  3. bad guy music
      • when the bad guy first appears, think star wars when darth vader first come to visit
  4. hero training music
      • yup the training, or learning the 'secret' skills. usually accompanied by some older guy telling him to 'seek yourself' or 'seek the wisdom that cannot be found'
  5. boss fight music
      • you know the last fight, usually by this point the girl is covered with little cloth, tied to a table/pole/rock - immobilised.
  6. hero gets girl music - kissing, making love, fading to black then credits - back to inspiring mystical music.
Despite knowing all that I'm still a sucka for it. Especially when the movie has a title with the words: Ninja, *enter exotic word no one understand here*, fist of the *****, boy-who-is-nobody-is-the-chosen-one

No wonder I make such good friends with the DVD uncle :)
