Remember . . . something new added every Sunday.
Most recent post: May 20, 2012
Come in out of the rain and let's talk movies. Remember the Interfering Antelope will be off this month, dealing with Prom Night and Graduation, so no anime for a little while. In the meantime, you'll find new material in: Hunks of Happiness; Have You Seen This?; and the Orphan's Noir Scoire.
Recently I got to sit down with my online friend Baxter Pancake, Internet Celeb and host of PODCAST OF THE TOUGH, to talk about, all the sci-fi goodness you can shake a stick at! Have a listen to this INCREDIBLE PODCAST!
What's going on at The Movie Orphan?
NOW AVAILABLE - the Movie Orphan's first book,
Orphans in Space: A Fearless Trek into Bad Sci-Fi Movies
Bad science fiction movies beware! The Movie Orphan has been tracking you, and your day of reckoning has come. Christina "Fearless Young Orphan" Harlin, writer and editor of The Movie Orphan, presents this compilation of essays that humorously skewer shameful science fiction films of the last two decades. No sub-genre is safe, as we tackle invasions, colonizations, attacks, supernatural love stories, time travel, alternate realities, powers of the mind, mad scientists, and the heartbreak of the remake. If you love your science fiction bad, your movies worse, and your sarcasm thick, this is the most important book you will ever read!
On the Special Events Page:
More details on my three ebooks, and a link to the Smashwords site or BarnesandNoble.com where my books are on sale (also available on Kindle).The Movie Orphan is on Facebook.
In case you want to know what's coming up soon or any special events in the works, plus links to our mash-ups too.
What's here to see?
The Orphan's Unseen Classics: Fearless Young Orphan is working her way through a list of so-called classics, to improve her movie smarts, and to see if they deserve the hype.
Chunks of Awfulness: Some movies are so bad they deserve special treatment.
Hunks of Happiness: I can do more than complain! These movies rated under 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, and by God, I'm going to find at least five things to like about every one of them!
The Interfering Antelope: The Antelope goes to Japan . . . and gives us his impression about some anime films. This is actually a subject he knows a good deal about, so consider yourself informed!
Foreign Films Investigated: Keeping track of interesting stuff from elsewhere. Gotta look outside your country sometimes.
Bond, James Bond: Now that we've completed discussions of all the Bond films, the Movie Orphan is working through the whole espionage genre, one film at a time.
Have You Seen This? For things long forgotten or outside the mainstream that deserve some attention.
Special Events: Because sometimes we leave the basement and go someplace! And I needed a page for the stuff that doesn't fit on the other pages.
Orphan's Noir Scoire: Film noir. What else? Plus we've developed a "scientifically proven" method to rate film noir on a scale of one to a hundred!
Archives. We're so proud of ourselves for writing enough reviews to start an archives section!
