The Colour of Magic (2008)

 

I dove into the world of Ankh-Morpork for a second time. Good quirky fantastical fun. I really should read Terry Pratchett's work. I'd probably enjoy it.

"Scorpions: Forever and a Day" (2015)



The German hard rock legends look back on their decades-long career as they prepare for their "farewell" concert in a cool documentary loaded with vintage clips and good stories. In addition to the band members themselves, famous fans and contemporaries like Paul Stanley, Don Dokken, Anders Frieden of In Flames, Alex Skolnick, and many others make brief appearances to give props to the Scorps.
The bulk of the film is in German (with English subtitles), which might be a deal breaker for some, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the flick.

"Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" (2015)



Two slacker scouts sneak out of a camping trip in the middle of the night to attend a party back home - and wind up smack in the middle of an outbreak of the Undead. Yeah, I hate when that happens too. Fortunately the skills they've learned in scout survival training come in handy for battling flesh-eaters!
This fast-paced, gory, ultra-violent and raunchy horror comedy may not be a classic for the ages, but it was entertaining for a one-night rental.

Seen this one a couple of times and it is rather well done and quite humorous.

 

Bridge of Spies Tom Hanks in a Coen brothers film directed by Steve Speilberg, need I say more? I will, a very well done film with gobs of nostalgia.

Finding Dory

 

Not sure the distaste with this one as it was as expected, well animated and a similar adventure to Finding Nemo. A who's who of voice over actors and we get the original team together for some added laughs(watch the film through the credits). I enjoyed it as did the kids.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

 

I had been waiting to see this for a good minute. Save the upcoming Star Wars film, this was the only thing I was looking forward to all year. It most certainly did not disappoint. Easily the best film I've seen all year. Taika Waititi has fast become one of my favourite directors.

"Mallrats" (1995)

Two slackers (Jason Lee and Jeremy London) get dumped by their girlfriends on the same day, so they hang out at the local mall and plot revenge - with some help from Jay and Silent Bob and comics legend Stan Lee.

Kevin Smith's uneven follow up to the still-brilliant "Clerks" has its share of funny bits, but after a while it begins to feel like an hour-long TV episode that's been padded out to feature length.

Intro'd the kids to The Guardians of the Galaxy and now my son is watching it again...

 

Tis a fine film for what it is curious as to what part 2 will be like.

 

 

RIPD was a fine movie. Shockingly Men In Black like on all levels. Never read the comic however.

 

 

Keith c'mon Clerks is epic no doubt but why no love for Mallrats? That movie is FULL to the brim with hilarity. From the "kids on the escalator" to Ben Aflecks affinity for relating someplace uncomfortable "Like the back of a Volkswagen" to Priscilla Barnes and her extra assets. My word it is too good...

(shrugs) I dunno. Lord knows I love me some Kevin Smith (fellow Jersey slacker done good!) and Mallrats had its moments to be sure, but it runs outta gas about an hour in. I just don't think it's aged very well.

Finally startin' to feel like Fall around here... which means it's time to start setting the Halloween movie mood...

 

"Dark Night of the Scarecrow" (1981)

A posse of local yokels kill a mentally handicapped man they mistakenly suspect of murdering a little girl. Soon the rednecks are being picked off one by one by a vengeance-seeking spirit hiding in the body of a scarecrow. This made-for-TV flick does a nice job of setting a creepy mood and features a great performance by Charles Durning as the leader of the posse.

 

"Tales From the Crypt" (1972)

Five strangers are drawn to the catacombs beneath a cemetery, where a mysterious Crypt Keeper (Sir Ralph Richardson) spins their tales of woe in this campy British anthology flick from the great Amicus Studio, based on stories from the EC horror comics of the 1950's.

"Mountain of the Cannibal God" (1978)

Ursula Andress is totally slummin’ it as a wealthy woman who heads into the jungles of New Guinea to find her missing scientist husband in this Italian cannibal flick. As you might expect, lotsa lush jungle scenery, animal cruelty, gore, nudity and violence follow. “Mountain…” obviously had a bigger budget than your average Z-grade Italian cannibal movie but it’s still sleazy as hell. Enjoyable trash that will make you feel like you need a shower when it’s over.

"The House on Sorority Row" (1983)

 

A group of sorority sisters pull a prank on their mean ol' housemother which backfires fatally. When they try to cover up their crime so they can proceed with their big graduation bash, things get worse as someone starts picking the guilty parties off one by one. A mostly forgotten but effective lil' slasher/mystery flick that takes a while to get goin' but features some truly sick moments when it finally kicks into gear.

"Def-Con 4" (1985)

The crew of an orbiting defense satellite watches helplessly from space as nuclear war breaks out across the globe. When they return to Earth a few months later they land in the middle of a conflict between a militia run by a crazed dictator and radiation-scarred "Terminals."

This flick starts out pretty promising but devolves into yet another crappy "Mad Max" post apocalypse wanna-be once the astronauts return "home."

Don't be sucked in by the badass poster art for this flick, because it bears no resemblance to any events in the movie...

    • 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.
