Last movie you watched?

The Room (2003) Saw this little treasure for the first time, had known about it for a few years but the latest hype surrounding the movie due to James Franco's Disaster Artis had me intrigued so I finally checked it out. I anticipated it to be hard to watch but not at all. I could see myself watching this again sometime

"Santa's Slay" (2005)

 

A demonic Santa Claus comes to town to teach everyone the meaning of yuletide FEAR in this tongue-firmly-in-cheek holiday horror comedy. A tasteless laugh riot with a great cast incl. Dave Thomas from "SCTV," wrestler Bill Goldberg as the badass St. Nick, Robert "I Spy" Culp (who makes up for his appearance in the dismal "Silent Night Deadly Night 3" with this flick) Fran "The Nanny" Drescher, James Caan (!), and lots more.

Yeah, I'll be watching Santa's Slay :)

 

I saw Transformers (the new one whatever it's called)
No longer impressed with the effects, which makes this movie one for the nerds.
Even with Mark Wahlberg in it.

2 1/2 fucking hours is far too long, story is just a rehash of others.
Only really good movie was the first one, and maybe the second one.

They can rinse now, I'm done.

I have the latest Planet Of The Apes to watch. Hope that one is better.

All the damn 'blockbuster' movies these days are franchise movies.
Marvel, DC, Transformers, Apes, Star Wars, etc.

Give me something new and interesting.
It's been a pretty shit year for movies...

"Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker" (1991)


A child and his mother are targeted by a manufacturer of lethal playthings in this bizarro Yuletide mash up of "Pinocchio" and "Puppet Master."  The "Silent Night, Deadly Night" franchise limped to a (merciful) end with this fifth direct-to-video installment, which may actually be the best-made one of the lot.
Interestingly enough, the mysterious "Toy Maker" of the title is played by slumming Hollywood legend Mickey Rooney, who'd been one of the most vocal celebrity critics of the original "SN, DN" film. Way to stick by your principles there, Mick.

Big (1988) with Tom Hanks. Came on TV and didn't feel like changing it lol. I enjoy most of his movies regardless though.

So I saw War For The Planet Of The Apes.

2 hours 20 minutes.

Another marathon.
This one felt like Planet Of The Apes blended with Dances With Wolves.
Long drawn out scenes to relay a story that could easily have been done as effectively in 1 1/2 hours.

Nothing new here.
Woody Harelson was good.
I liked how they linked this to the actual first POTA movie with Charlton Heston.

Aside from that... meh...

"The Hebrew Hammer" (2003)
Adam Goldberg is Mordechai Jefferson Carver, aka "The Hebrew Hammer" - a pimped-out, bad-ass Orthodox protector of all things Jewish, who's called into action when Santa's evil son (Andy Dick at his coked-out best) takes over operations at the North Pole and plans to wipe Hanukkah off the calendar. 

This very funny holiday themed blaxploitation/action parody ala "Undercover Brother" or the "Austin Powers" flicks skewers pretty much every ethnic and racial stereotype you can think of.  

I guarantee, this is the only movie you'll ever see where the hero walks into a skinhead bar, pulls out two giant guns and says "SHABBAT SHALOM, MOTHERF***ERS!"

Was looking for Women (Extended) - Def Leppard for the Killer Intros thread and this movie trailed popped up.
Haven't seen it, but I watched the trailer and it's kinda sad to see Nic Cage in it lol

A couple of my kids have decided to watch The Walking Dead.

I'm up to date, but decided to sit in from the start again.

Enjoyed it the first time, but much more the second time.
If you're a fan I recommend taking the time to relive the first 6 seasons.
We're nearly through season 2.
Daryl is way funnier than I remembered.

As mentioned we binged on some X-mas themed films: Elf and Nat Lamp's Xmas Vacation.

Also as requested watched a good number of movies while digesting holiday cheer:

Love Guru- if you haven't seen it do so if you like Austin Powers films.

Dukes of Hazard- Reboot. Fun, harmless (except for Jessica Simpson, hubba hubba) fluff.

50 First Dates- Adam Sandlers version of Groundhogs Day but with brain trauma.

Valerian- A second run through as this was a present. Still good imho.

Despicable Me 3- Super funny as usual. Worth a watch or two.

Binge watched Billions season 1.

"Bright" (2017)

Will Smith stars in this strange, Netflix-original mashup of the "buddy cop" action and fantasy genres, set in a modern day Los Angeles where humans live alongside Orcs, elves, and other fairy-tale creatures. Smith's a burnt-out L.A.P.D. cop saddled with the first-ever Orc police officer as his new partner, and together the mismatched pair try to keep a powerful source of magic out of the hands of a vicious street gang as well as an evil creature who needs it to take over the world. 
Reviews of this flick have been pretty brutal but I mostly enjoyed "Bright." It reminded me a lot of the '80s favorite "Alien Nation," and Smith is always fun to watch even if the movie isn't very good. It runs on a bit too long but lotsa stuff gets shot and blown up along the way so at least I wasn't bored.

It's not a real movie. It's a fake trailer made by Rob Zombie for the Rodriguez/Tarantino "Grindhouse" double feature. I thought you would have known that Freddy.

Ahh, dammit they got me, haha! 

I wasn't big on the "Grindhouse" two-fer, honestly. I didn't see it as a combo/double-feature in a theater, just as separate features when they released 'em on  DVD later on, so I never saw any of the fake trailers.

Seriously tho, considering some of the crap Nic Cage has appeared in over the past decade, it looked legit enough to me. :D

Finished out my 2017 movie slate with this primo slab of glorious VHS trash:

"Terror In Beverly Hills" (1989)

 

Arab terrorists kidnap the President's daughter, and only one man can save her - martial artist/former Marine/all around bad-ass Hack Stone, played by Frank Stallone, Sly's younger lookalike brother. Yup, that's the entire plot. 
This dollar-store wonder features wooden performances, cardboard sets, a mushy sound mix and general ineptitude from beginning to end. You'll laugh, you'll cheer, you'll cry tears of Z-Movie joy.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
