ALL RIGHT... WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?
      Hope you like the site! I've been in love with horror, sci-fi and exploitation movies since I was a wee lad growing up on air force bases across America. This was back in the pre-cable/satellite days of four TV channels, when I had to sneak out of bed to catch the midnight monster show with the volume turned way down as to not awake the parents. A ravenous film collector in this digital age, I'd be buying and watching these flicks anyway... so why not write about 'em and put it on the web? Thus the genesis of Eccentric Cinema, launched in March 2001. (First review: a Blind Dead double feature.) My other interests include pulp novels, politics/current events, and military history. I currently reside in the metro Memphis, Tennessee area with my wife Catherine and cats Blackie and Jasper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: You call this a cult movie site? Where are the reviews of Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, etc.?
About a gazillion other places on the web, that's where. We'd rather bring you something like The Case of the Bloody Iris or Space Amoeba to your attention. You see, we're sort of "eccentric" that way.
Q: How can you give positive ratings to movies you freely admit are terrible?
Did they make us laugh, especially if that wasn't the filmmakers' intention? The numeric film rating of any movie marked with an "Extra Cheese" icon basically breaks down as follows:
5+ = "So bad it's good"
2, 3 or 4 = "A few laughs, otherwise torment"
No film with the lowest possible score (1) will have an Extra Cheese icon. 'Cause it's just pure dookie.
Q: Will you ever review movies on Blu-ray disc?
Yes. Eventually. But for the foreseeable future they'll have to be in the Short Takes section — at least until I get a BD drive I can take screenshots with.
Q: Why do reviews dated after July 2009 not play embedded audio files?
After 8 long years, a format change was needed for the review pages. We'll still be offering groovy MP3/WAV files in our Downloads section and with the occasional review.
Q: Why do certain review pages play a fart sound?
This only occurs with reviews in which a film receives the lowest possible score (1). Such dreck richly deserves a raspberry.
Q: How can I support EC?
This website is a true labor of love, not a business venture. EC's only compensation is the commission fees earned from sales of DVDs and other products purchased via the links we provide. Eccentric Cinema recommends Amazon.com for its selection, service & reliability.
