"Piranha II: The Spawning" (1981) - Italian-made followup to the 1978 killer fish hit ups the ante by giving the toothy suckers the ability to fly (thanks to an ill advised government gene splicing experiment) and turns them loose on vacationers at a Caribbean resort.

Cheap, gory fun -- the "flying fish" effects look like big leather handbags with wings! -- that marked the directorial debut of James Cameron of future "Terminator" and "Titanic" fame. He maintains to this day that he doesn't consider "Piranha II" to be "his" movie since he was apparently fired during the editing process.

"Vigilante" (1983) - William "Maniac Cop" Lustig directed this entertaining variant on the "Death Wish" formula, with Robert Forster as a working class New Yorker who joins a neighborhood revenge squad (led by blaxploitation legend Fred Williamson) after his wife and son are victimized by street punks. Lots of gritty NYC locations make this one a real time capsule of a New York that was much dirtier and scarier than it is today.

"Skyscraper" (1996) - a hilariously cheap "Die Hard" ripoff starring the late, great Anna Nicole Smith in the Bruce Willis role (yes, **seriously!**). She's an L.A. helicopter pilot who gets mixed up in a high rise full of terrorists. I swear I am not making this up. Bullets fly, stuff blows up, and though Anna Nicole cant act her way out of a paper bag, she does get her bigger-than-yer-head boobs out several times so I was entertained.

"Cyclone" (1987) Cheap n' cheesy action flick with Heather Thomas of TV's "Fall Guy" as a cutie pie biker chick protecting her late inventor boyfriend's pet project - a high tech, heavily armed motorcycle - from an assortment of spies and arms dealers.

If it weren't for the occasional F bomb and a few brief T&A bits this could pass for a rerun of "Knight Rider."

The Fifth Element - forgot how bad this is.....

Bad, as in Michael Jackson Bad, as in good, because you think it's awesome? Because it is!

"City of the Living Dead" (1980) In Lucio Fulci's notorious gore fiesta (also known as 'The Gates of Hell'), the suicide of a priest opens a doorway for the Undead to rise and start noshin' on the living. Hilarity ensues.

In other words, this is typical trashy Euro-horror nonsense, riddled with plot holes and WTF moments, but it's worth seeing just for the truly sick, creative FX (which include brain drilling, intestinal puking and a rainstorm of maggots) which are impressive and disgusting in equal measure.

"The Reef" (2010) - this Aussie sea going suspense flick is basically a Down Under version of "Open Water," as a group of shipwreck survivors' swim to safety is plagued by regular visits by a pesky Great White shark. Derivative, but enjoyable.

    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.
