Zombie Lake (1981)

Zombie Lake | 1981 | 18/R | Full Film | Part 1... by 1982FilmFan

Did you ever see a flick and go WTF did i just watch? That would be the strange story of Old Man Robb and Zombie Lake...now the second question you are going to ask is WTF is Zombie Lake??? You know what? All these years later Old Man Robb is asking himself the same damn frickin question to be honest. Zombie Lake is a Z grade rip off of the original Dawn of the Dead...and Z grade is being very very very kind to be truly honest folks.. there have been lots of ripoffs of Dawn of the Dead including the really good..like Zombie which could if watched before Dawn of the Dead serve almost as a prequel and then there is the really really bad like Night of the Zombies (aka Hell of the Living Dead)

ahh yes...Night of the Zombies...

Now..back to Zombie Lake...

Hands down folks, this is probably one of the worst movies i have ever seen...and i've seen some real frickin stinkers in my time.. to make a long story that is not really that long really short, this is about a bunch of Nazi Zombies from World War II being woken up in a lake in France by the sight of some naked women ...actually folks i am lying as there are LOTS and LOTS of naked women in this flick including a full female basketball team and they decide since they are hungry to attack a small village as well...no folks im not making any of this up by the way... I remember i would see that BIG VHS box at the store formerly known as Andrew's and one night i decided i am taking this thing home....

Ummm..something else i will admit..i love bad special effects as much as the next b movie lover, but omg this is the worst make-up i have ever seen on a zombie or zombies in my frickin life! The make up was washing off these poor Nazi zombies as they were leaving the lake!

Lots of plot holes in this one folks...including the fact that one of the zombies has an 11 year old daughter living in the village...mind you he has been in the lake since 1944 and the year is 1981..plus during the flashbacks of the village folks attacking the zombies and putting them in the lake are a hoot because the village folks look the same in 1944 as they do in 1981...so we have alot of horny Nazi zombies with bad make-up attacking a town in France...and ya...that is really about it folks....yup this is one sleazy, trashy ol flick folks and ya know what? It really doesn't pretend to be anything else to be totally honest.

So if you love flicks that are bad...as in Yor:The Hunter From the Future bad..then this is the flick for you, i must admit i got a good laugh out of this sleazy, ineptly made motion picture..one full of so many plot holes that you can jump through, not only does this flick just manage to squeeze by Night of the Zombies for the worst zombie flick i have ever seen, it manages to be pretty much the worst flick overall that Old Man Robb has ever seen...and that folks is really and i mean really saying something!

Have a good one folks!

The Best of Sex and Violence (1981)

 

I remember being a kid in the Passage and during one of my many excursions down to the ol Dairy Bar i would always check out the VHS along with getting an ice cream fix..(Or going next door to Lloyd's and getting my pepperoni fix...one of Dad's habits i always copied) Anywho there was always lots of celluloid gems over at the ol Dairy Bar...of course Old Man Robb would walk by all the indoor bullstuff and head straight for the B movies that he loved ever so much...and sometimes all it took was a rockin VHS box to make Young Man Robb take notice..

This cover made me take notice...

A drumroll..

I saw that cover in the mid 80s and i was like omg...frig...oh man i have to see this flick...

I saw lots of other doozies from the 80s... lots and lots...

Yes Jason...watched lots of you and Mrs Voorhees...

 

And yes i watched the adventures of Addley, Ike and Mother quite a few times...

 

As well as the Best of the WWF..all of them...

But never ever ever...the Best of Sex and Violence...

Until now...

But i still have yet to see...

 

Someday...someday...

Thank you Dairy Bar...thank you Lloyd's for all the awesome VHS memories....the ice cream and pepperoni was pretty swell too..

Bronson Moments

Ahhh good ol Charles Bronson... probably the manliest man of the 20th frickin Century...well for Old Man Robb back in the old Beta and VHS days there was nothing like going to the ol Dairy Bar in the Passage back in the late 80s and picking up the latest Bronson flick...mind you most...well 99% of his output in the mid to late 80s was from those rockin geniuses known as Golan Globus..aka Cannon Pictures..but at least there was never anything fancy smancy about a frickin Charles Bronson flick...you knew what you were gonna get...you knew you were gonna get..action..punks punched..explosions and lots of Bronsonisms...  watching  a Charles Bronson movie is to see badassery at it's very best.



Today's action stars? Forget it...sure i liked recent stuff like the Expendables and Machete and i am looking forward to Expendables II as much as Chuck Norris has tried to have it watered down to a PG-13... Imagine Bronson being watered down to PG-13?!?!?! WTF!??!?!?!? No today's stars look like they came out of some modelling catalogue and with the exception of Jackie Chan when he makes movies back home in Asia (Cause his North American movies suck) its all a CGI crapfest...none of the real man exception of Stallone and his Expendables buddies and Danny Trejo kinda reminds me of Bronson..but that's it...where are the real men like Charles Bronson who looked like it was cut in the face from stone and a killer stache to boot? Charles Bronson could kick the frickin shit out of Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise, and Matt Damon with his eyes closed!



What made Bronson flicks work is that he was not some steriod enduced muscleman or someone who looked like they stepped off a modelling stage. Bronson looked like the dude down the street working on his car or the guy that lives next door mowing his lawn and drinking a cold beer on a hot summer day. The kind of guy who just spent three weeks at sea fishing in harsh weather...or the kind of guy you would have a few wobblepops with down at the local watering hole. He had an everyman kind of quality about him that we really don't see anymore coming out of Hollyweird. Would an actor like Bronson find work in Hollyweird today in this day and age of manufactured drivel?

Anyways folks..that is enough of Old Man Robb rambling on and on about his religion known as Bronsonism... just relax and enjoy some of my favorite Bronson moments...have a drinky poo in tribute to Mr Bronson and maybe a nod to those banditos known as Golan-Globus who kept the Bronson flame alive...as well as giving us American Ninja but that is another story for another time im afraid folks...

Thank you Mr Bronson

Hello people well the day many thought would never arrive is finally here...after years of starts, false-starts and misfires Old Man Robb is at Perkins at old Acadia U where Robbblogs started in the first place and just a few short hours away from teaching his first ever class at Acadia U.... As i stated in my previous post, it has been a long long road to get to this point..alot of sacrifices and well...just times where life seemed bleak...and the road was absolutely leading to nowhere... but you know what? I rose about all of that bullshit and i am actually here and ready...good and ready...

My class is at 2:30..actually i meet my advisor at 1:00 to go over my class...spent the entire weekend doing powerpoints, class notes, back-up plans in planning for a two hours class with two breaks. Of course i am back here on Thursday to observe another class... will Old Man Robb finally be a legit teacher? As in not working for some ham and egger company which rips off kids and parents? As in teaching somewhere legitimate? It is a nice thought isn't it? What would Dad think? That is the one thing that i think about... i know there are alot of wellwishers and i do appreciate it...sometimes its the ones who don't wish me well that i think about...i think some of them...well a few of them are eating some well deserved crow at the moment...


Forget what you heard, recognize what you see.....i know you have all heard the rumors...this is the real me...i  never wanted to be different or be someone else...i just wanted to be me...

My class today  is about first impressions...what will my first impression of my class? What will be my classes first impression of me? What about the person grading me? What will his first impression be? There are many underlying factors at this moment in time... there is a few more weeks of this stuff folks...this and absolutely trying to finish Education 4863 where i have one final presentation to do... will Old Man Robb make it? I sound like the end of one of those 60s Batman episodes...the ones with Adam West...will Old Man Robb make the grade? Will the students laugh him straight out of the classroom? Tune in next week...jeesh...

I have to get back to the books folks...i wish they would turn down the freaking heat in here...phew! I know i came up way way too early for my class, but me nerves were telling me get there ASAP and start getting ready... i am hoping this is going to go my way folks...i have been at this TESOL thing going back a few years ago when i arrived home from South Korea... i have been at it...and at it...im not perfect and i've never tried to be and it is a ridiculous thought to want to be perfect anyways......but now is the the time to perform because the chance may never come again...i think im ready...i think i am...



Chat later folks...have a good one...
