Okay, let’s settle this one: What is the worst, the positively worst, movie ever featured on MST3K?
My vote is and will always be “Red Zone Cuba.” To paraphrase Mike, it is not only the worst movie they ever MSTed, it is not only THE worst movie ever made, it may well be the worst THING ever made. Slipshod and impossible to follow, mean-spirited and soul-deadening, it is in every way the anti-movie. It makes you want to swear off movies forever, and perhaps even renounce the existence of a higher being. It’s that bad. What movie would you pick? And show your work.  Forrest J. Ackerman’s sci-fi movie memorabilia collection is slated to hit the auction block in April. Details here. Among the items that will be sold will be the Dracula ring worn by Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula (shown) valued at $20,000-$30,000.  RiffTrax is continuing to release “three riffer” commentary tracks for movies that were released by Legend Films with solo commentaries by Mike. On the heels of “Reefer Madness” and “Little Shop of Horrors” comes House On Haunted Hill with Vincent Price. As with the others, if you previously bought the Legend DVD, you’re all set. You can also download it as a video-on-demand file that includes the movie and the riffing. Incidentally, RiffTrax is now running a contest in its iRiffs division — the winners will be able to do a riff with Mike, Kevin and Bill. Details here. Over at FilmSchoolRejects.com there’s a review of RiffTrax’s shorts collection.
Our buddy Bruce Westbrook, who used to write about MST3K regularly at the Houston Chronicle, has a written a review of Volume XIV for his Tripping the Light blog.
There’s also a reveiw up at Film Threat. |
