Hey gang,
Globes, Oscars, Razzies, Sags....how about the Maxis?!
A few of you who know me from MJ.com or even from here when I pop in now and again, know that I adore movies like all of you, love 'em in and out. A place in my heart goes toward the sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre (no matter how bad or good)...yes, I know...a lot of those films are trite, they're remakes, not to be taken seriously, and etc, etc.
Well every year at my website, I hold the "Burning Max Awards" aka ('The Maxi's' hahahaha), where films in the sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre only are nominated in the respected Oscar categories...ex: Picture, Actor, Actress, Cinematography, Costume Design, etc. Myself with nine other judges, see each genre film of the entire year and then submit our choices (5 picks for each category)...and the majority is the final nominations. But the fan base/visitors cast the ballots. This is pretty much like the Saturn Awards, in which yours truly is a member of.
I am an (self-proclaimed) underground film enthusiast and historian, but I also enjoy this genre very much and hold it in high regard, something most film enthusiasts don't do, not anymore anyway. I am sort of a booster for the genre as well as exploitation, B and independant films!!
So take a gander, have some fun and e-mail me ([email protected]) or PM me your ballots....
...and remember, it's all in good fun!
