I Love It When I See Friends of Mine Getting Creative Things Done! Today’s spotlight is on the living laser: Rody Hillman! Yesterday was all about the beacon of positivity: Craig Kotfas. So, it’s only right and fair that I bring balance to the force by highlighting the shenanigans of my favorite force of darkness, the sarcastic drummer/zombie/laser : Rody Hillman. Rody has been continuing to work on his various projects, even through wild adversity, and that’s part of why his and Craig’s story are so inspiring. These are not the…

People Getting It Done: Singer/Songwriter & Improv Meister Craig Kotfas #payitforward @CraigKotfas
I Love It When I See Friends of Mine Getting Creative Things Done! Today’s spotlight is on Craig Kotfas! Today, and for the next couple days, I’m going to hand pick somebody from my ever widening circle of friends and known associates and highlight some of their accomplishments. The goal is twofold: first to shine a light on some wonderfully talented individuals, and second; to tell them thank you for being a source of personal inspiration. These are the folks whose stories inspire me to try and find the time…
Plan For June: Weekly Themes! Tons of Fun! #payitforward
After a Long Month of Reviewing Cheesy Low-Budget Movies in May, I’m Going to Switch Gears in June and Pay It Forward! Taking on the personal challenge of reviewing movies, offering commentary, and finally writing an entire film script for my month long tribute to Full Moon Features was a fun, rewarding, and exhausting exercise (which you can read all about by clicking HERE). It was hard to find the time to squeeze the time in to watch all of those movies (I did 18 total film reviews), and write,…
Trancers 7: The Pitch! Open Letter To @RealCharlesBand @fullmoonhorror
All Month Long I Have Been Secretly Typing Up A Script For Trancers VII And This Is The Pitch! Hello to Charles Band and to all of the fine creative individuals at Full Moon Features. My name is Packy Smith, and I have been working on a pitch for Trancers VII for quite some time now, over a year now to be exact. First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Band and his team for bringing movie fans around the world such thrilling and engaging classic franchises such as…
Confessions of a VHS Rental Junkie @fullmoonhorror @RealCharlesBand
Hello, my name is Packy and I am a recovering VHS rental junkie, and also Head Llama on this blog. This is my story: If you were born after 1997, there’s a good chance that you probably haven’t ever watched a movie on VHS. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that you weren’t around for the home video revolution. You see, VHS tapes were the fast widely accepted form of video playback ever. You could buy just about anything on VHS, from your favorite big screen movies to…
The Monkees – Good Times: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @theMonkees
The Monkees – Good Times: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Still Monkee-ing Around After 50 Years If you had told me on January 1st 2016 that not only would the Monkees release a brand new album (their first new album in 20 years) but that it would be a serious contender for my album of the year, I would have told you that you were crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Monkees. Their brand of jangle-bubblegum-pop from the sixties is a tremendous list of amazing songs. Daydream…
Dollman Vs Demonic Toys: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror
Dollman Vs Demonic Toys: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – The Incredible Shrinking Movie! I have been building up to this review from the first week of my month long celebration of Full Moon Features. I started with a review of Bad Channels, a delightful sci-fi comedy about an Alien, a radio station, and miniaturized babes! Shortly thereafter I reviewed Dollman, about a cop from another planet that travels through a wormhole to our world to catch a nefarious villain, however the cop has a problem: on earth, he’s only…
Doctor Mordrid: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror @jeffreycombs
Doctor Mordrid: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Wherein We Discover That Glitter Glue Is Used In Dimension Warping Spells! I had initially intended to review Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys today, but circumstances have pushed that off a few days. I’ve been viewing most of the Full Moon flicks that I’ve reviewed this month via their streaming service, and Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys (which I have reviewed Dollman & Demonic Toys already) is not currently available on the service, but it’s getting added on Thursday. The show must go on,…
Subspecies: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror @RealCharlesBand
Subspecies: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – The “we’re smarter than we look” edition… As we sprint into the home stretch on my month long tribute to Full Moon Features, I wanted to be sure to highlight at least one more of the classic franchises. I had already reviewed Demonic Toys (and will likely review Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys tomorrow), so I didn’t necessarily want to review a Puppet Master film, as they have a number of similarities. There are quite a few Full Moon gems from the late 80s and…
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @fullmoonhorror
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Yes Virginia, that is the actual title of the movie Another day in May is another wonderful reason to continue the month long celebration of the robust catalog of films made by Full Moon Features! After dipping fairly heavy into the horror side of Full Moon recently, I felt that it would be a nice change of pace to try a pure comedy flick. Although not as well known for comedy as they are for horror and…
