Has CGI killed the classic B-movie?

Some of the new crop of "B's" are quite enjoyable. I loved "Dracula 2000," and Underworld was actually better on viewing at home (and lets face it, I would pay to watch Kate Beckinsale simply sit motionless!).
As for the "Prophecy" trilogy, what thunk you guys of the third one? I actually liked that one the best!


My guess is you would pay more to see Kate move around a bit...

The truth is some movies can be greaded F.

If you go to the movies for enjoyment and the movie turns out to be enjoyable even if it's designed as a ride, it can't be a failure.

What bugs me are the pretentious art films that have no real substance -- I dare not say which recent movie was one of the worst offenders.

The 1995 film with Aiden Quinn or the 1998 with "who are those actors?"

Oh, do tell, LW...well, you did, but spell it out for the punters. Personally, I thought all the actors in Winged Migration were magnificent.

It was actually quite a good movie. It was based on a book, and followed it fairly closely. Here's the IMDB listing:Haunted

And while we are on the subject of B-movies, is Misty Mundae the new Linnea Quigley?

I'm planning on seeing it anyway! Any horror movie is worth at least one viewing, in my book.
However, I'll never watch Kill Bill or the follow-up, because I really hate the title. It's some kind of deep down moral code within me. For the same reason, I was mortified, and quite pissed off, when the game "Mortal Kombat" came out. It still disgusts me. Anyone remember that first commercial? Chilling.

Anybody remember The Hunger with Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, and David Bowie? That's one of my favorite vampire movies. What a great way to use Viens Mallika from Lakmé, in a lesbian scene.
