Last movie you watched?

Still having PC issues at home, and trying to post trailers/etc. on this board from my cell phone is a hella pain in the ass, so I gave up on that shit.

 

Last few things seen:

 

"The Prophecy" (1995) - Christopher Walken's darkly funny turn as Gabriel, the Angel of Death, is the main highlight of this otherwise lukewarm religious/doomsday thriller. A war between rival factions of Angels is going to end in a small Arizona town, with a former Priest turned cop and a little girl caught in the middle. This thing apparently spawned four (!) sequels; I think I'll pass on those.

 

"Marooned" (1969) Three U.S. astronauts are trapped in Earth orbit when their re-entry rockets fail, and NASA has to mount a risky rescue mission to get them down before their oxygen supply runs out. Taut scientific thriller with a great old school cast (Gregory Peck, David "Fugitive" Janssen, Gene Hackman, Richard Crenna). Oddly enough, the events of this movie eerily mirror the real life Apollo 13 accident, which occurred a year after the film's release.

 

"The Valley of Gwangi" (1969) - Rodeo cowboys find a "lost" valley populated by hordes of dinosaurs in turn-of-the-century Mexico. When they capture one alive and put it on display ala "King Kong," predictable monster mayhem ensues. This Western/Sci-fi mashup is pretty much kid stuff, but the stop motion creature animation by the great Ray Harryhausen make it worth a look.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Son No.2 is on a bit of a Harry Potter jag at the moment) ...

Eagle Eye - good fast paced thriller

 

After Earth - barely okay, I can understand the negative reviews

 

Fast and Furious 6 - another fun ride in this series, although I prefer Fast Five this one is still pretty good

 

Miami Vice - another good action movie

"The Big Doll House" (1971) - delightfully sleazy "chicks in chains" movie set in a typically hellish women's prison somewhere in the third world. Five hottie inmates spend most of the movie getting victimized by their butchie cell mate (Pam Grier!) or tortured by the twisted lesbian warden, till they finally mount an all guns blazing escape.

 

This flick is packed to the gills with violence and T&A, and has absolutely no socially redeeming values. In other words, it's totally awesome sauce. :lol:

Great movie that might inspired 'Infernal Affairs' / 'The Departed'. Brilliant performance by Depp and Al Pacino, as always!

Good stuff

If you've got Netflix streaming, it's on there...

 

A couple of nights ago I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Machete Maidens Unleashed," which was about the explosion of low budget exploitation/schlock movies made in the Philippines during the 1970s... and "Big Doll House" was prominently featured in it.

 

Naturally after seeing a bunch of clips from it (all of which were packed with boobs, lesbianism and explosions) I was like "I GOTTA see that movie!" ... imagine my pleasant surprise when, as soon as "Machete Maidens" ended, "Big Doll House" popped up as one of Netflix's "If you liked this movie, you may also like..." suggestions. I was like, "Wow! That's convenient." :rofl2:

 

I also heartily endorse the "Machete Maidens" documentary by the way... one of the most entertaining docs I've seen in a long time. Funny as hell, and packed with interviews and a whole lotta sleazy clips from vintage trailers. It was a hoot.

I LOVED this movie!! Almost better than the first one to be honest... If you liked The Lord of the Rings movies you should like this one too.. Well worth watching and I am glad I saw it on the big screen as it wouldn't be the same on a TV Screen...

"Dead Heat" (1988) - strange mashup of buddy cop action comedies and zombie flicks. Two L.A. cops (Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo) are investigating a mysterious series of robberies when they discover the bad guys are actually zombies, created by a crooked corporation that's figured out how to re-animate the dead. Naturally, lotsa bullets (and tasteless one liners) fly in this surprisingly gory, mindlessly violent (but still quite funny) schlock flick.

 

"Cleanflix" (2009) - Documentary detailing the strange saga of "Clean Flicks," a Utah based video store chain that hit it big selling and renting "edited" versions of Hollywood blockbusters - with all of the violent/sexual content and foul language removed - to appease its mostly Mormon clientele. Naturally, when Hollywood learned of these unauthorized "edits," the law stepped in and soon the copyright holders and those holding the so-called "moral high ground" settled their differences in court. An interesting flick that is bound to spark discussion about censorship.

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
