Okay, these guys have a show, they do Youtube videos, and they have a podcast; all of them devoted to this subject matter. Hearing a couple of the podcasts and seeing an episode of the show, I genuinely can't figure out if this is meant to be a brilliant parody of the more dimwitted attempts to do this type of thing or these three are the dumbest people to ever try to do this kind of show.

After Last Season
(2009)
This film wasn't released, it escaped.

This thing makes The Room look like Kenneth Branagh's Henry V by comparison. It looks like it was made by a blind director working with a blind cinematographer and a blind lighting man filming people who never read a script and are just improvising their parts without being told what the other people are doing in the film, scored by a deaf composer. Set design by a crew of kindergartners using the construction paper, tape, glue, and markers left over from recess.
I have no idea how they knew enough about film making to turn the camera on, but that appears to have been the extent of their knowledge.

Fistful of Brains
(2008)
Good effort, good film.
5 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
What happens when zombies attack an old west style town and you mix in a dash of something a bit mythic for a twist? You get a film that Sam Raimi might have made if Evil Dead had been set in the 1800's.
Short form version of the story: An old west style huckster with an... interesting... past comes to town to sell some rather special wares. There are also some unusual things happening that have the local town folk spooked. As things progress the secrets of both come out and the town faces a full on zombie attack. And that's when the fun really begins. Everything runs its enjoyable course and the ending leaves things open for a continuation that you really do not see coming, but one that should prove to be highly enjoyable.
The roles of Dead Eye and Lily are fortunately well written and played as they're in most of the important parts of the film. The rest of the cast is also better than your average low budget film. The directing is pretty solid and the FX are appropriately deranged and gory.
Fistful of Brains is an independent film with a limited budget, but they make the best of everything they have. Anyone who enjoys early Sam Raimi and George Romero will feel right at home here.

Highlander: The Source
(2007 TV Movie)
This film should never have been released.

You just keep waiting for the film to start getting good, making sense or start rising above the level of utter garbage. And then, when you think that moment might be about to happen... The credits roll.
I'm not sure I can find the words to express how really bad this film was.
Let me try this... I have friends who are die hard Highlander fanatics who buy everything related to Highlander and who also grew up enjoying 80's schlock like Deathstalker and Barbarian Queen enough that they even bought those on DVD. Even they find this thing unwatchable.
Now, you know that's gotta be bad.

Nice little film.

I saw this years ago (the early 80's) on The Movie Channel and was hooked on it. Decades later, they've put it out on DVD and I've found it to be almost as good as I remembered thinking it was back then.
The only drawback that some might find with this movie is that it was never really a movie and doesn't play like one. Like with some of Gerry Anderson's shows, this was a "movie" that was pulled together for international release by using stand alone episodes from the TV series Arthur of the Britons and covers a fair stretch of that show's run. This means that the movie, if looked at as a whole, seems to bounce around a bit because it is made up of several story arcs that begin and end in under 30 minutes before jumping into the next one. It also suffers from the same budget issues that many shows coming out of England from the early 70's faced.
Beyond that, it's actually very well done. The stories stand up well and they pulled some good episodes from the series to make this. The wedding story alone, and Brian Blessed's fantastic work in it, are worth the price of the DVD.
You can find the DVD all over the web for low prices. Grab it, it's worth it.
