Actual Bowling Is More Exciting, July 2 2004
This review is from: Sorority Babes in the Slimebal (DVD)
I watched this film because I enjoy camp movies for what they are. The problem that this movie has is, that while it tries to be a campy, cult film (a bit too hard, judging from the title), it commits the unforgivable sin of being boring. This movie had me begging for the end to arrive. Avoid this film at all costs. It has no redeeming features of any sort. (OK, the girls are fairly attractive; but you will quickly forget that as the pain of the film begins.) The plot (as it were) concerns three geeks that attempt to observe a sorority initiation and in the process get shanghaied into breaking into a bowling alley with two sorority pledges, where they encounter not only someone else (a girl named 'Spider') breaking in, but in their quest to steal a bowling trophy release an "Imp" who is far and away a more offensive racial caricature and stereotype than Jar Jar Binks ever dreamed of being. Needless to say, the Imp makes pretty much everyone turn on each other, and mayhem ensues. The violence is not very graphic, and is all exceptionally stupid. I was not so much offended by violence as by the depths to which the filmmakers were willing to stoop to keep the audience interested. (It didn't work, anyway.) The acting is among the worst I have ever seen, ditto the script. The 'plot' and direction were likewise from a mind far less gifted than Ed Wood. The sets weren't bad. In fact getting a behind the scenes look at the bowling alley was the most interesting part of the movie. As a related aside, I have got to comment that this bowling alley has the ugliest carpet I have ever seen in my life. I like camp, but this is not camp. This is pain. I would classify this movie as "Deep Hurting."

Now That's Bowling, April 28 2004
This review is from: Sorority Babes in the Slimebal (DVD)
This movie was the perfect blend of Humor, Horror, and sassy ladies. The movie takes a little while to get started, but you are kept entertained with a little paddling of some sorority babes. The Imp in the film is a blast. He is one of the bad guys that you love to hate. Not to mention he is one mean puppet. The characters were good, and done at the right level. They were over the top enough to draw the laughs, but not so crazy to be annoying. I would reccomend this film to anyone looking for a B-Movie with its share of T&A, and a script that feels like it was written by someone older then 13. The Previews on the DVD are GREAT. There are like 7 of them, and they really make you want to check out more of these clasics.

A classic for all the wrong reasons., April 23 2002
This review is from: Sorority Babes in the Slimebal (DVD)
Sorority Babes in the Slime Ball Bowl-O-Rama really does have it all--if all you're looking for is the worst movie ever made (Plan 9 watch out!). You will laugh (although don't watch this alone, you'll just feel dirty)--it'll be one of those big, hearty, non-stop, spots-in-your-eyes, dizzying laughing fits. The plot... unimportant. Both to the director and to the viewer. The acting... no words can describe. The directing... who would take credit for this? But what you do get is lots of paddles, shaving cream, showers, more bowling alleys than The Big Lebowski, and one awfully racist caricature of an imp. And that, to me, spells classic.
