Dredd

 

One of the worst movies I've ever "seen". I couldn't honestly.

I was severely disappointed by that one. $90 million budget and the best they could come up with was a giant CGI apartment building?

 

Stallone's "Judge Dredd" movie from the 90s was pretty terrible too, but at the very least it was a great LOOKING movie. It had cool FX and the sets had a "Blade Runner" kinda vibe.

 

If they could've borrowed the "look" of the Stallone movie but kept Karl Urban's more true-to-the-comics portrayal of Dredd, maybe they would've been onto something.... but they f*cked it up,

Really, boys? I love it, and I really hope they get funding for a second film.

The studio that made "Dredd" lost a ton on it so I wouldn't hold my breath.

"The Prowler" (1981) - a psycho dresses in US Army fatigues and carves up a variety of co-eds attending a graduation ball, to settle a grudge that dates back to the end of World War II. An above average slasher flick with impressive, bloody FX by the great Tom Savini, who apparently considers this movie to be his best work.

 

"The New York Ripper" (1982) - Italian splatter maven Lucio Fulci directed this incredibly mean spirited slasher flick, in which a duck-voiced serial killer mutilates a bunch of Big Apple women while a burned out NYPD detective trails behind him. As usual with Fulci's flicks, a coherent plot and decent acting/dialogue take a back seat to the ultra graphic violence, gore, and sleaze, which gets piled on by the bucket full. This flick makes "Maniac" look like 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm."

"Cheech & Chong: Hey, Watch This!" (2010) Concert film shot during the reunited duo's "Light Up America" comeback tour features many of their most popular sketches and characters, including Ralph & Herbie, Blind Melon Chitlin, Alice Bowie, and more.

Funny stuff, the boys have still "got it!"

"Night of the Creeps" (1986) a college campus is invaded by alien brain-parasite slugs that turn frat boys into zombies in Fred "Monster Squad" Dekker's fast, funny ode to 50s style horror flicks that's riddled with in-jokes for genre fans.

The Raid 2: Berandal

 

Finally released out here.

Oh my! If you recall, when the first film was released a few years ago, it was being heralded as the best Action film in the last fifteen years. Well the sequel just took that position. This film is intense. My friend made a good observation. He said, "Iko Uwais and Gareth Evans are our generation's Chow-yun Fat and John Woo." I, for one, am excited to see what they have for us in the future.

"My Amityville Horror" (2012) Fairly dry documentary about Daniel Lutz, the now grown son of George and Kathy Lutz of "The Amityvile Hirror" fame, opening up for the first time about how the "Horror" experience has affected his life.

 

Long story short: it screwed him up bigtime. There, I just saved you 90 minutes.

 

Seriously, it doesn't make a diff if you believe the Amityville story is real or a hoax, this guy simply comes off as an irritating, obnoxious dick for the whole movie so it's hard to feel any sympathy for him.

"Mouse Hunt" (1997) In this dark slapstick comedy from Gore "Pirates of the Caribbean" Verbinski, a pair of quarrelling brothers inherit a valuable old house, but before they can cash in they need to evict its occupant - a particularly resilient rodent. Cartoonish "Home Alone" style mayhem and destruction follows. My kids thought it was a hoot.

"Red Scorpion" (1988) A Soviet super soldier (Dolph Lundgren) is sent into the African wilderness to assassinate a resistance leader, but he has a change of heart and eventually joins the fight against his former comrades. A bit overlong but the constant pyrotechnics kept me entertained.

"The People Vs. George Lucas" (2010) A very funny documentary that examines the rapidly eroding relationship between "Star Wars" guru George Lucas and his fans, who are irritated by pretty much everything he's done involving the "Star Wars" universe over the past twenty years (i.e. the "Special Editions" of the original three films, the "Han Shot First" controversy, disappointment with "The Phantom Menace" and the existence of Jar Jar Binks, etc.). In between the interview segments there are lots of clips from Star Wars "fan films," some of which I'd like to see more of. (esp. the "Misery" parody where a fan-girl keeps an injured Lucas prisoner in her home till he re-writes Episode III. Haha!)

If nothing else, this movie makes it official that "Star Wars" fans have become just as annoying and bizarre as Trekkies.

Transcendence

 

New Johnny Depp film. Decent, but I suggest you save your coin. Too many plot-holes in the second half. Go see Winter Soldier, or Spider-Man next week, or Godzilla in a few weeks.

    • 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.
