I know I said I would write about a third movie I had watched. But after class last week I was having trouble linking this movie to what I'm thinking of doing for my project.
The movie was 'Mystery Science Theater 3000: the Movie' based on the show of the same name. The basic premise is, Mad scientist sends a guy into space to watch bad movies in order to take over the world...somehow. The guy is sent to the satelite of love where he is accompanied by his robot pals. Each week they watch movies and make fun of them.
What I liked about the movie is the fact that everything looks like it was done with very little budget. The sets, puppets and effects are all very low quality, but with the show it works. Everything works well with the show, in that it all goes together.
I particularly liked the puppets. Here is a website detailing how they were made

When shooting the cast watching the movies they first film the cast from behind while they recite the jokes they scripted. Then they edit their silhouette's infront of the movie through blue screen and sync them together.

Thats all I can really say about this one. Stay tuned for more!
