"The Road" with Viggo Mortensen

 

So depressing, yet so good.

Chronicle

This one is still so good. And the closest thing we'll get to a live-action Akira. Highly recommended.

 

28 Days Later

It had been way too long since I'd seen this. One of the best films of the genre.

Mimic & Tremors....a couple of very good films...

Mimic & Tremors....a couple of very good films...

 

I love "Mimic"... I'm surprised that it isn't more highly regarded by horror fans, esp. since Guillermo del Toro is a much bigger deal nowadays ("Mimic" was his first English language movie).

 

Pretty much every single one of del Toro's trademarks (religious symbolism, dark and creepy tunnels, kids in peril, bugs/things with claws and lots of legs, etc.) can all be found in "Mimic."

 

...and Mira Sorvino is freakin hot. Even after she spends half the movie crawling around in abandoned subway tunnels and she's covered in mud, slime and bug parts.

[Dead Planet]

The Perfect Storm & True Grit (latest version).....2 well done and worth watching films...

[The Rocker]

Mimic & Tremors....a couple of very good films...

Love both. Seen Mimic maybe 2 times, but Tremors so many times!!!

The Stuff (1985)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cADzGsrXxs

 

America's gone crazy for a new no-fat, no-calorie, great tasting yogurt like dessert product called "The Stuff" -- but as a private investigator soon finds out, the tasty goo is actually a highly addictive, mind controlling parasitic organism. Don'cha hate when that happens?

 

This goofy horror comedy (written and directed by Larry "It's Alive" Cohen) creeped me out when I was a kid, but this bizarre mix of "Blob" style creature feature and consumerism satire hasn't aged very well at all.

Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QrQ8vMoeow

 

The Asylum jumps on the "Nazi-sploitation" genre (see also: Dead Snow, Iron Sky) with this low budget little sickie. The members of an Antarctic research team are captured by a squadron of Nazis who live in a secret base deep beneath the ice. The Nazis are led by Dr. Josef Mengele, who needs the newcomers for spare parts not only to prolong his own life and the lives of his men, but also to complete his Robo-Hitler.

...yeah, you read that right. And it only gets MORE insane from there.

 

Ridiculous plot, hilariously cheap special effects and some truly sick gore equals perfect Schlock-Tober entertainment.

[Dead Planet]

The Interpreter .... decent film although not one that I will watch again anytime soon...

[Fat Freddy]

Mars Attacks! (1996)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC5O9NFWZCs

 

Earth is panic stricken when bug-eyed, big-brained, hostile Martians invade and lots of cartoonish mayhem follows.

 

Tim Burton's kitschy-on-purpose salute to '50s alien-invasion flicks (based on the classic trading card series from TOPPS) features an all star cast including Jack Nicholson (in a dual role), Pierce Brosnan, Glenn Close, Gentleman Jim Brown, Annette Bening and Rod Steiger (to name just a few).

 

Nothing spectacular but good, goofy fun.

Halloween Night (2006)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCJSJCtfBKw

 

A psycho escapes from the mental hospital on Halloween night and returns to his home town to continue his killing spree.

 

...gee, where have we heard that plot line before?

 

This utterly shit house slasher movie was The Asylum's attempt to bite off of Rob Zombie's "Halloween," in case it wasn't painfully obvious. As usual for an Asylum production, the story is non-existent, the acting sucks and the characters are all idiots who deserve everything they get.

 

On the other hand, this flick has an absurdly high body count, lots of gore, and even some totally gratuitous girl-on-girl action.

 

Make no mistake, this movie sucked, but at least it was better than the last couple of real "Halloween" sequels.

Tremors III: Back to Perfection (2001)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8w7rGb8VGc

 

Michael ("Family Ties") Gross returns for a third go-round as survivalist Burt Gummer, back in action against another outbreak of those pesky Graboids around his desert home town. As viewers of the "Tremors" flicks know, the critters have an annoying habit of mutating into new forms each time they reappear, so this time out Burt and his neighbors have to deal with flying Graboids (!!) which they dub "ass-blasters." (When my kids heard that, they laughed till they nearly pee'd.)

 

Hilarious action packed monster mashing fun for the whole family!!

Caught that CBGB and even though I am not fluent in that scene and I have read that there are timeline discrepencies I thought it was a good film. Interesting life that guy Hilly must have lived.

I enjoyed it too, despite the ham-handed treatment given to the Ramones in that flick. (They're auditioning for Hilly Kristal in 1974, but they play... "I'll Get Knocked Down But I'll Get Up," a Joey Ramone solo track that wasn't even written till the late 90s??)... I knew going in that it was not going to be an accurate documentary style flick...

 

Last night's viewings: two seasonally appropriate documentaries: "NIghtmares in Red, White and Blue" and "American Grindhouse"

"Nightmares" traces the history of American horror films from the silent era to the present, while "Grindhouse" explores the seamy independent sex-n-violence film industry from the 30s through the 70s. Both were packed with tons of clips from classic (and not-so-classic) films and commentaries from luminaries like Larry "It's Alive" Cohen, John "Halloween" Carpenter, Joe "Gremlins" Dante, Roger Corman, and many more. Educational and entertaining!!!
