Well, I dug through my archives and I found a very old vintage 8mm movie my friends and I made in about 1974. My mom had an even older 8mm camera that we borrowed and stuck a roll of film in. I think the entire film length was limited to 5 minutes so we felt like we had to work fast.

In this video you will find vintage 70's skateboards, fun banana seat bikes, grade school sneakers and some really wacky clothes.

Please ignore the quality of the film. The bad condition actually adds to the coolness of the video. Enjoy the movie and don't forget that we were only 10, 11 and 12 year olds.

See The Movie. (located on my video page)

I may be one of the biggest fans of the zombie movie genre. I'm not sure what draws people to want to see zombie movies but whatever it is, it can be addicting.

I have been highly anticipating the new movie Zombieland with the notion that it might be one of the best zombie movies to date. Well, I finally was able to see the movie and here is my very unprofessional movie review.

I loved it! If you're looking for fun this movie is it. Short, sweet and to the point. The movie is short enough and moves along so fast that there is simply no time for lulls.

The laughs keep coming the entire ride and the characters are great. The zombie rules will be quoted for years to come and should a virus take over the world we will all know how to survive.

The only zombie flaw of the movie is that it is not your traditional, people stuck in a building with zombies all around, type movie. It is actually more about the characters than the zombies. If there was ever an uplifting zombie movie made, this is it!

The zombie kills are fantastic but not overly sick and very funny. This is not a movie made to gross you out. Other than a good amount of cussing this might even be fun for a young teenage audience.

As the leader of the sneaker wearing zombies I whole heartily give my zombie approval of Zombieland. Grab your popcorn and be prepared for a really fun time.

Big kudos to the surprise celeb in the movie!

Going to the movies was a big deal in the 70's. I remember paying 50 cents to see many movies and usually only on special occasions. There weren't as many movies being released and there weren't multi-plex theatres.

So, seeing a good movie in the 70's had a pretty lasting impression on a young buckaroo. This is my Top 10 list of those movies that left a lasting impression on me. These of course are not the best movies of all time from the 1970's but these are my favorites. Enjoy the list and let me know which ones left lasting impressions on you.

1.) Close Encounters of the Third Kind - This movie was the coolest. I still watch it every time it comes on. I think this was the first movie I got to go see as a young junior high student on the weekend.
2.) Jaws - The best suspense movie of the decade. If only every kid could see this at the movie theatre as their first thriller movie.
3.) Star Wars - Wow! Who would have thought you could do that on a movie screen. Special effects before there were special effects.
4.) Animal House - Oh my gosh! The best boob movie for any young man in the 70's. Most likely the funniest movie of the decade.
5.) Saturday Night Fever - Can you say disco? The songs alone were enough to remember for a lifetime. Loved the dancing hated the acting.
6.) The Poseidon Adventure - An awesome adventure movie! Non-stop action. This movie was way cool in the 70's.
7.) Rocky - Yo.
8.) The Goodbye Girl - I thought Richard Dreyfuss was a great actor. This was a fun movie and I really like the theme song. I think this was my first chick flick.
9.) The Warriors - If you saw this movie and didn't want to go out and start a fight you just weren't normal. The best gang movie of all time.
10.) Phantasm - A little known horror flick that was ahead of its time. This movie had a cult following and that cult was my buddies and I.
11.) Smokey and the Bandit - Tran Ams and CB radios! Two of the coolest things you could want as a kid.

Okay, I had to add one because there are just so many. There are also many 70's movies that I love but I did not actually see until it was the 80's, like MASH, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Halloween and many others.
