Last movie you watched?

[Dead Planet]

Despicable Me 3 (2017) - love this series and this one is as good as the previous 2...

[martinsane]

Alien Covenant = Excellent. This and Prometheus were great series resurgent movies.

 

Bay watch. Mixed reviews but went in with low expectations and was pleased with the film. Love me some Zac Efron and his performance was perfect. The humor was smart, especially all the jabs Dwayne took at Zac calling him One Direction and High School Musical. Not anything academy award worthy but funny.

 

King Arthur. Guy Richies latest foray into made up stories revolving around King Arthur. Good movie if your blinders are off.

was flipping the channels and caught Summer of '42 (1971). Nice coming of age movie. Jennifer O'Neill in it is very beautiful..

 

also saw Ghost in the Shell (2017), nice science fiction movie

"Rumpelstiltskin" (1995)

The infamous fairy-tale gnome has been imprisoned in a figurine since medieval times, but now he's on the loose in 1990s L.A., where he has nefarious plans for a young widow and her baby son.

Silly direct-to-video horror cheez from the writer/director of the original "Leprechaun," which should tell you pretty much everything you need to know.

[Dead Planet]

Night of The Comet (1984) - definite B-flick, worth a laugh or 2, another for FF....

It (2017)

 

Really, really good!! Can't wait for Chapter Two.

[Darkstone]

It (2017)

Really, really good!! Can't wait for Chapter Two.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but i have seen the opening scene with Georgie.

 

Holy shit! That's gotta be one of the most disturbing scenes i've ever seen.

[Darkstone]

Just on a side note.

 

I thought i'd check out Tim Curry's thoughts on the new Pennywise.

I didn't realize that he recently had a stroke. The footage I saw was from a recent convention and I was devastated. Such a vibrant and brilliant actor. It was very sad to see him the way he is now.

Oh yeah that's a goody... haven't seem it in dog years!

[Dead Planet]

Remo Williams The Adventure Begins (1985) - loved this when it first came out and it is still watchable today...shame they never made this into a series of flicks....I always figured that was the plan considering the title but it never happened for some reason...

[Fat Freddy]

"The Demolitionist" (1995)

In the near future, a policewoman shot down in the line of duty (Nicole Eggert of "Charles In Charge" and "Baywatch" -- of all creatures!) is transformed into a cyborg crime fighter and turned loose on the murderous syndicate that controls the city's underworld. Bullets fly, stuff blows up, the end.

Sharp eyed genre nerds may notice Heather "Nightmare On Elm Street" Langenkamp and FX maestro Tom Savini playing minor roles in this cheap, cheesy gender swapped "RoboCop" knock-off.

Ripe for you to produce a reboot. ?

[Fat Freddy]

"Remo" was supposed to be the first film in a series, but it tanked at the box office so plans for follow ups were scrapped... shame, cuz the action/adventure paperback series it was based on ("The Destroyer" by Warren Murphy) was cool stuff... I read dozens of'em back in high school/college...

 

I have vague memories of an attempt to reboot "Remo" as a TV series some years back but I guess that never got off the ground either...

[Fat Freddy]

"What's Up Nurse" (1977)

Cringe-worthy late '70s British "adult comedy" about a klutzy young doctor whose first assignment at a small town hospital is full of wacky hi-jinks involving large breasted nurses.

...apparently British anti-pornography laws were so strict in the '70s that sex comedies like these were the closest things to "dirty" movies in the U.K. This flick was pretty much just a bunch of 30 second "naughty" comedy skits stitched together to make a feature length film. This sort of thing might have raised eyebrows in the '70s, but it's tame as milk now.

[Fat Freddy]

"Death Spa" (1989)

A high tech Hollywood health spa is the site of several mysterious and horrific deaths, which may have been caused by a supernatural force.

This surprisingly gory, so-'80s-it-hurts flick is cheap n' cheesy in all the right ways and is actually much better than you'd expect, given its totally ludicrous premise.

"Old 37" (2015)

A pair of backwoods brothers (Kane "Jason" Hodder and Bill Mosely) cruise the remote roads of a small town in an old ambulance, posing as paramedics so they can take accident victims back to their junkyard lair to do unspeakable things to them.

Sounds like a simple enough premise but this disappointing slasher flick fumbles the ball all over the place, spending way too much time on set up involving the idiot teenybopper cannon fodder we don't care about, till eventually the whole thing devolves into a boring muddle. Skip it.

"Be Afraid" (2017)

A small town doctor and his family encounter "shadow people" who come out of an abandoned tunnel in the woods in the middle of the night to steal children away from their parents. It's fairly predictable, familiar stuff but it sports fine performances and a decent amount of creeping dread.

[Fat Freddy]

"The Saint" (2017)

 

Adam Rayner is the latest actor to play the ultra-suave Simon Templar, a jet setting master thief with a heart of gold, who dates back to the pulp paperbacks of the 1930s. In this 21st century reboot (a pilot film for a new TV series ... which never happened), Templar has to recover several billion dollars in stolen money from an ultra-secure location, avoid being arrested by a very determined FBI agent, and rescue a kidnapped girl from some very bad people. Fortunately, his sidekick is a foxy tech expert (Eliza "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Dushku) who helps him get the job done.

 

Part 007, part Robin Hood, part "Mission Impossible," this "Saint" has its share of entertaining bits but the globe-trotting vibe is hampered by the obvious made-for-TV budget. The cameo by Sir Roger Moore himself, in one of his final film appearances (he played Templar in the early '60s "Saint" TV series) was a nice surprise, though.

 

Maybe if they'd swapped the lead characters, making Eliza the new Saint ("Simone" Templar?) and Rayner the sidekick, they might have been onto something.

[Fat Freddy]

"The Video Dead" (1987)

A brother & sister moving into a new house find a beat-up old TV set in the basement. When bro plugs it in, he finds out it's not just a TV - it's a portal, which allows zombies to crawl out of an old horror movie and into the real world. Yeah, that's not good.

This cheap, one-joke movie has a couple of good gore bits and decent zombie makeup but otherwise "The Video Dead" is dumb as a box of rocks.

AVOID.

The trailer more or less gives the whole plot away though

Also introduced the sprites to The Monster Squad. I love this one and have since 87, the kids enjoyed it as well and my daughter said "this is like the Burbs meets the Goonies".

 

 

Classic,have always loved this movie since seeing it on video back upon its release...Brilliant

watched Gold, nice movie with Matthew McConaughey..

"The Cloth" (2013)

A youthful unbeliever is recruited into a top secret Catholic organization that hunts down demons on Earth. The team then has to stop a particularly nasty underworld something-or-other from bringing about the Apocalypse (again).

If this plot sounds familiar, it's been done before (way better) in flicks like "Priest," "Legion" and "The Rite," to name just a few. Everything about "The Cloth" screams "cheap," from the D-list casting (when your biggest names are Eric Roberts and Danny Trejo, and yet together they're in the movie for less than five minutes, you're in trouble) to the terrible acting, awkward comic book dialogue and CGI effects which make even the worst of SyFy or The Asylum's output look competent.

The ending of "The Cloth" teases a sequel (of course) but so far, none has materialized, for which we should all be thankful.

In other words...AVOID.

Simply excellent.

That could be said for nearly every trailer these days.

Just One Of The Guys

I revisited this one recently, nice 80's comedy.

"Ban the Sadist Videos" (2005)

Ahhh, the mid '80s and their moral panics. While American teens were facing down Tipper Gore and the PMRC, who wanted to keep W.A.S.P. and Motley Crue records out of local K-Marts, the U.K. was dealing with a censorship battle of its own. A well-meaning but ultimately misguided group of would-be censors sought to protect Britain's children from the potentially mind-altering effects of the ultra-violent, gory horror movies in video shops. This intriguing 2-part doc examines the national hysteria over the so-called "Video Nasty" phenomenon and its lasting effects on the British movie/video industry.
