No doubt about it, 'Death Race 2000' is one of the greatest B-movies ever made! A crown jewel in the career of B-movie king Roger Corman, it's a sublime example of exploitative filmmaking from a time when Corman's low-budget quickies were about to be swept aside by the blockbuster success of Jaws and Star Wars, and all of its outrageous ingredients combined to create a schlock-movie masterpiece. Liberally infused with director Paul Bartel's macabre sense of humor, Corman's mandatory formula for success is zanily applied to a near-future scenario in which a fascist empire appeases its oppressed citizens with "Death Race 2000," an automotive spectacle in which five costumed racers drive wacky race cars cross-country from New York to "New Los Angeles," scoring points with hit-and-run killings awarded on a sliding scale, with highest points for hitting children and the elderly!

Grab a towel, head for the sand, and get ready for some rowdy fun in the sun with a bevy of bikini-clad babes! In 'Beach Balls,' Charlie Harrison wants nothing more than to hone his guitar riffs, shred in a band, and win the heart of Wendy, every guy's fantasy girl. Catching the ear of a real live record producer leads to more than a few bumps on the road to rock star status. Getting his dreams to come true turns into an out-of-control series of comic mishaps and "miss" adventures!

From the Roger Corman Sci-Fi Collection comes 'DinoCroc' (2004), a film whose only real distinction was that it was marginally better than Frankenfish (2004), features another giant amphibious/reptile monster released into the world. Directed by visual effects artist Kevin O'Neill, the film stars Matt Borlenghi ("Police Academy: The Series", Krocodylus), Jane Longenecker (The Coroner), and Costas Mandylor (Mobsters, Dr. Chopper).
