BAD MOVIE PORTAL
We've all seen them on late-night cable, those wonderfully awful films fondly known as "B-movies". Fans of this cheesy genre finally have an online home of their own, a safe place where they can read reviews, find out about new low-grade flicks, and discuss their favorite films with other B-movie maniacs.
BadMovies.Org has a host of reviews on the latest and greatest B-movie's, including industry giant Troma's recent release "Class Of Nuke'Em High Part II: Subhumanoid Meltdown". In addition to the hysterical reviews, there are also a lot of fun features on the site such as "Bad Movie News", a section on B-movie Banners, and an online shop that sells t-shirts and other "bad movie" paraphernalia.
