			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Myself (Ronnie) and Alex (and Erin &#8211; later in the week) are going to torture ourselves, so that you don&#8217;t have to. That&#8217;s right, this week we are going to watch all four Killer Tomato films. Are we sick in the head? Oh yes, most definitely. So, we begin with the first movie, from way back in 1978&#8230;</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1548" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 214px"><a href="http://ronnietucker.co.uk/midnightshowing/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/AttackKillerTomatoes.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1548" title="AttackKillerTomatoes" src="http://ronnietucker.co.uk/midnightshowing/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/AttackKillerTomatoes-204x300.jpg" alt="Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" width="204" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Attack of the Killer Tomatoes</p></div>
<p><strong>Plot</strong> (I didn&#8217;t even know there was one! &#8211; Ronnie): <em>After a wave of reports of mysterious attacks involving people and pets being eaten by the traditionally docile fruit, a special government task force is set up to investigate the violent veggies and put a stop to their murderous spree. Included in this crack team are a lieutenant who never goes anywhere without his parachute, an underwater expert who&#8217;s never out of his scuba gear, and a master of disguise who conceals his appearance by dressing as a black Adolf Hitler.</em><br />
Alex: present day? do we all get presents?<br />
Ronnie: you reckon that was a reverse shot? <img src='http://midnightshowing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

Alex: mercifully<br />
Ronnie: *phew!*<br />
