Learning Life's Lessons...even from the really bad movies, like....

The VERY BEST bad movie I ever saw is "Assault of the Killer Bimbos".

I know. The title REALLY makes it sound bad. But I was really surprised by this movie. I had nothing else to do that night and stumbled into an Edwards Theater in Westminster, CA. I'd seen everything else on the bill so I thought "What the heck..."

While the premise was a bit iffy... "2 strippers witness the death of a gangster and think they are going to get tagged for his murder so the "run" to somewhere in Mexico by stealing the dead gangster's car..." You get the idea.

What really surprised me was I was expecting a student film like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", but the camera work was excellent. The acting was passable, the direction, the stunts, the sound were all done very professionally.

Overall for a B movie, I'd give "Assault of the Killer Bimbos" an A-. Granted, against some of the classics it is still a B movie, but this diamond in the rough was a lot better than what I ever expected. And certainly better than some of the movies that have been hyped with high budget ad campaigns.

So, I guess the lesson is, sometimes you get more than what you paid for or have reason to expect.
