Insomniac Double Feature last night:

 

"Trick R Treat" (2009)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMoiNyyXSwU

In this cool "Creepshow" style horror-anthology flick, several spooky stories - including a principal who moonlights as a serial killer, a pack of female werewolves, and a school bus load of ghostly children - all intersect around the same small town on Halloween night. This flick strikes just the right balance between humor and horror and has become a Halloween season perennial for me.

 

"RoboCroc" (2013)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWoW7TfM8mc

Yeah, this one is a "crock" all right. A secret government space launch crash lands near a zoo, causing its payload of experimental "nanobots" to invade the body of the zoo's giant salt water crocodile. This transforms the croc into a souped up, super powered half-metallic killing machine whjch invades the water park next door so it can chomp on lots of girls in bikinis while a couple of zookeepers (including Corin "Parker Lewis" Nemec) and the military try to figure out how to kill the darn thing. Even by SyFy Channel standards, this one was hellaciously bad...like, "Worst thing I've seen all year" bad.

Paul.

 

Ditto.

 

Another film that I thought would be a bit rubbish, but thoroughly enjoyed. Very funny, great characters and a few surprises. Good stuff.

The Hunger Games

 

[very well done actually - stayed close to the book, and for once I may have actually preferred the film to the book as the first person perspective writing put me off a bit]

World War Z

I am so apprehensive about this as the book was so good and unique.

 

Don't expect the book. From what I hear -- I haven't read the book -- it's completely different. But it's still one of the most intense zombie flicks I've seen.

The only thing the film shares with the book is the title ... :(

I'm not saying a word ... my feelings about the film when compared to the book have been well-documented elsewhere ... ;)

Both.

Just don't make the mistake of thinking that they're the same thing :)

"Argo" (2012)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w918Eh3fij0

 

Ben Affleck directed and stars in this Oscar winning suspense/thriller (based on a true story) of a secret CIA operation to get six American refugees out of Iran ... by posing as a film crew scouting locations for a fictitious science-fiction movie called "Argo."

 

Cool premise, great performances (esp. by Alan Arkin and John Goodman, who are hilarious as the Hollywood types who help set up the "op") and lots of period detail make for a fascinating flick. Good stuff.

The Golden Compass....nice kids movie that should have been a trilogy...instead they left the story hanging with just the one movie

 

 

It was "left hanging" cuz that movie cost a shit ton of $$ to make and then it bombed...so the planned sequels were cancelled.

I read the book trilogy and I think it would have been an amazing movie trilogy too. Really liked it indeed.

    • Good safe and well with the footage I've seen on news here in Australia it must be scary.
    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
