One of the great crappy movies of the '80s

Did you ever see cartoonist Ted Rall's blog after Reagan died?:
"HOW SAD...
...that Ronald Reagan didn't die in prison, where he belonged for starting an illegal, laughably unjustifiable war against Grenada under false pretenses (the "besieged" medical students later said they were nothing of the sort) and funneling arms to hostages during Iran-Contra.
Oh, and 9/11? That was his. Osama bin Laden and his fellow Afghan "freedom fighters" got their funding, and nasty weapons, from Reagan.
A real piece of work, Reagan ruined the federal budget, trashed education, alienated our friends and allies and made us a laughing stock around the world.
Hmmmm...sounds familiar."
Anyway, I'm sure he's turning crispy brown right about now.

Keep enjoying the very, very warm weather where you are, Ronnie, and don't come back.

Sadly, this piece of garbage was voted on by legions of fans over superior work from the Warners/MGM/RKO catelogue as one of the few viewers' requests for 2006.
Two of the films that didn't make it, Best Foot Forward and the 1951 version of Angels in the Outfield, were supposed to have been available as Amazon.com exclusives, the former in Decemebr and the latter in January. For some reason (poor sales for Best Foot Forward ?), Angels in the Outfield has been cancelled.

"One of the greatest crappy 80s movies is finally on DVD. In "Gymkata", the 1985 vehicle for Olymic gymnast Kurt Thomas, the main character must help the US install a "Star Wars" missile system in the kingdom of Parmistan. But first he must defeat evil ninjas using a combination of gymnastic moves and karate chops. This movie will make you feel like Ronald Reagan lives again." ( written by Jaime J. Weinman)
Retch. :O
