martinsane Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Don't be sucked in by the badass poster art for this flick, because it bears no resemblance to any events in the movie... A staple for VHS tapes back then was to have bad ass box art and as mentioned nothing to do with the movie so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureTheSane Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 This is a great movie. Came on the other night as I was about to crash, si I stayed up another couple of hours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVt32qoyhi0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 "Assault on Precinct 13" (1976) The caretaker crew at an L.A. police precinct that's due to shut down for good in the morning spends a night under siege, battling against a seemingly endless stream of homicidal street gang members in John Carpenter's cult classic shoot'em up that's still holding up well after 40 years.

Fat Freddy Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 "Iron Maiden and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal" (2008) A lengthy and thorough "unauthorized" doc about the NWOBHM and Maiden's ascent from front runners in that scene to global superstardom. Commentaries are provided by noted U.K. rock journalists like Malcolm Dome, Jerry Ewing, and Geoff Barton, and musicians including former Maidenites Paul DiAnno and Dennis Stratton, Brian Tatler of Diamond Head, and members of Samson, Praying Mantis and Tygers of Pan Tang. With a run time of two-plus hours this doc took more than one sitting to get through and there were some surprising omissions (Venom was barely mentioned, and personal faves Raven were ignored entirely!), but overall this was a pretty cool history lesson.

martinsane Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Over the past few nights: Popstar- Its OK. Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates- As with Postar it too is OK, some laughable moments but very forced and Anna Kendrick is just barf on every level.

Fat Freddy Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 "P2"(2007) A female executive is trapped inside her office's parking garage after hours on Christmas Eve - thanks to a deranged security guard who's fixated on her. An effective, claustrophobic little suspense thriller with a great performance by Wes Bentley as the wack job. Also, Rachel Nichols has an impressive rack. Just sayin'.

metalmaniac777 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 "P2"(2007) Rachel Nichols has an impressive rack. Just sayin'. Yes ... yes, she does. Pretty much the only thing I remember about the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Freddy Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 It's October... time to start OD'ing on horror movies! Woohoo! "Autopsy" (2008) After a traffic accident on the back roads of Louisiana, a group of twenty-somethings are taken to a remote, strangely deserted hospital… where a deranged doctor (Robert “T2” Patrick) harvests them for their body parts. An ultra-violent, extremely gory, yet also darkly funny splatter flick that is definitely not for the faint of heart."From Within" (2008) A tiny church-centered Southern town is plagued by a sudden rash of suicides - and the locals believe it’s caused by a curse placed on them by a suspected witch. Two teens try to unravel the mystery before more of their friends die.Cool, atmospheric creepy stuff, kinda like a Fundamentalist “Final Destination” movie...

Fat Freddy Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 "Christine" (1983) http://youtu.be/O08w8CegEeg[/YouTube] John Carpenter directs Stephen King's tale of the deadly love affair between a high school nerd and his dream car - a demonically-possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury. This one takes a little while to get goin' but once it does, "Christine" is still one of the better King adaptations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 A couple of non-action inspirational flicks with Morgan Freeman that are well worth checking out if you have not already had the pleasure.... Lean On Me(1989) ....MF playing a principal cleaning up an inner-city school An Unfinished Life (2005)....about a grieving father, played by Robert Redford who blames his daughter in law for his sons death, MF plays his friend in a supporting role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 "Madman" (1981) http://youtu.be/Q9Tj3TWrGZQ A group of camp counselors make the mistake of mocking a murderous local urban legend known as "Madman Marz," and the axe-wielding backwoodsman re-appears for a fresh round of decapitations. That'll teach'em. The story is obviously nothing to write home about, but thanks to the splashy gore effects and better than usual production values, this mostly-forgotten flick is a better-than-average entry in the early '80s "Halloween"/"Friday the 13th" wanna-be sweepstakes.

Fat Freddy Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 "Super Hybrid" (aka "Hybrid," 2011) The night crew at a Chicago police impound garage is trapped inside with a sentient, shape-shifting, man-eating Death Car in a silly but entertaining blend of “Christine” and “Predator.” This “Hybrid” doesn’t rank very high on the horror scale but it’s got lots of satisfying car crashin’ mayhem. Fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 "Captain America: Civil War" (2016) There's trouble in the Avengers' ranks ... the U.N. wants them to submit to governmental control, which leads to a split into two teams - one led by Iron Man, who want to work within the system, and the other led by Captain America, who want to stay "indie." Lots of punching, crashing, and stuff blowin' up soon follows in an all-action, all-the-time flick which also finds time to introduce the Black Panther and the new Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Lots of fanboy fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CureTheSane Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Central Intelligence Missed the mark for me. Weird movie because it didn't really know how to be funny, even though it followed a fairly standard formula. Easy enough to watch, but forgettable.

Watched this as well and it wasn't bad but as mentioned in one ear and out the other. The Rock did play up the part of lovable lump though.

Fat Freddy Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Death Race 2000" (1975) In the dystopian future, America is a totalitarian state and the biggest sporting event of the year is the Death Race, where drivers in souped up killer cars go across the USA, scoring points by killing bystanders along the way. Roger Corman's cult classic sci-fi black comedy features a great cast including David Carradine, Mary Woronov, and even a young Sly Stallone. This flick never gets old!

martinsane Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 American Ultra-not bad for a recent yet unknown film about super spy stuff. Space Station 76-watchable 70's space dramady that has potential but never really goes anywhere. 17 Again-Zac Efron plays the role of the dad that wants to go back and redo high school. Good stuff harmless and kid friendly funny. Zoolander #2-for the 50th time, damn this is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 "Ghosthouse" (1988) A mysterious ham radio signal (!) draws a group of curiosity seekers to an abandoned house which (naturally) was the site of several murders twenty years ago. Soon they discover that the house is inhabited by the angry spirit of a long-dead little girl and her creepy killer clown doll. This Italian horror flick (from Umberto "Nightmare City" Lenzi) doesn't skimp on the gore, which is a good thing because it's the only thing that made it watchab!e. The characters are all idiots, the acting/dubbing sucks and the story and dialogue are a complete mess. A better title for this one would have been "Shithouse."
