The Tomb (1986)
The Tomb (1986) starring Michelle Bauer, David O’Hara, Richard Hench
Some cheesy monster movies are a delight to watch — and others are a delight to make fun of as you watch them. The Tomb falls firmly into the second category.
Blacula
Blacula (1972) starring William Marshall, Vonetta McGee
Blacula is a blaxploitation film, that rises above its origin. largely because of the quality of the acting, especially the title character, portrayed by William Marshall.
The story begins in 1780, with African Price Manuwalde (William Marshall) seeking the help of a European count to end the slave trade. Unfortunately, he’s chosen to ask the aid of Count Dracula (Charles Macaulay). Dracula is all about enslaving people of all colors and having them join his undead army. And the count is offended by the African prince …

The Croods
Frankly, I found the first hour of The Croods (2013) to be cliched, and formulaic. And it wasn’t until the final third of the movie that I began to enjoy it. But when I got to that point, it was well worth watching.

The Super Hero Squad Show
The Super Hero Squad Show, volume 1
I have to admit that The Super Hero Squad Show is a guilty pleasure. For the kids, it’s a combination of action and comedy. For us adults, however, it’s much better — especially if you grew up on Marvel comics like I did.

The Muppet Show episode 1.1, guest starring Juliet Prowse
The Muppet Show, guest starring Juliet Prowse, originally aired January 29, 1976, episode 1.1
The ‘first’ episode of The Muppet Show has the Muppet performers are only beginning to find their roles, and how the show fit together. Even so, some of the best things are already in place, such as the ‘backstage moments’, where Kermit the Frog is trying to keep things going on despite the insanity around him, the subplot (in this case, it’s the theater owner’s nephew, Scooter, who wants to do an act with the dog, Muppy, who despises Kermit), and a mixture of comedy sketches, classic songs and letting their weekly guest star strut their stuff.

Sky High
Sky High — A cute movie about the insecurities of growing up and entering high school — with the added complication of being the son of superheroes. Teen angst, young love, and high school rivalries are here, in a not-too-serious movie that is aimed at children, but that adults will smile at occasionally as well.
