Who's Watching Oliver, 2018. 9/10.
http://bloody-disgusting.com/wp-cont...ngOliver-1.jpg Russell Geoffrey Banks makes this movie. His performance is outstanding. He makes Oliver real. Iv'e never seen anything like this, perhaps when Bill Oberst Jr. plays his roles, thats saying something. ::love:: Vodded. Pre ordered and rewatched. My cinematic life is perfect right now. |
Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
7/10 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...im2-poster.jpg Ten years after the giant robot task force sealed the alien invaders' portal, the alien's threaten again. This time a new entrepreneurial scientist, jockeying for power, has created giant drone robots to fight any new giant monsters that may come from a new alien portal. But is everything as it seems? There's still some cool special effects and action, but the film is missing the heart, the resonating emotional depth of characters, of the excellent original Pacific Rim (2013). The new young characters are not compelling, and suffer from woefully undeveloped emotional background stories. Instead the draw is the old tired rebel teen angst background. The two films have different screenwriters and directors. |

I'm watching Leprechaun 3 on Hulu. I think he's funnier than Freddy Kruger. :D

Speaking of Freddy Krueger
Robert Englund has had an interesting post-Freddy career. Sometimes his job is just to stand around and look creepy. Like on the episode of Bones where Dr. Brennan attends a high school reunion, and Englund plays the school's janitor. If course, his face was familiar from Nightmare on Elm Street, so you were supposed to believe he was the killer, even though he was an obvious red herring.
What did I just think of...I think I read somewhere that the way Freddy stood in Nightmare, that sort of crooked posture, was Englund's idea. It might be true. Adrienne Corri (Vampire Circus) said in an interview that the reason she loves to do horror movies even though her agent doesn't want her to, is because actors in horror movies often are allowed to have this kind of creative input. I like this quotation so much I will throw it in even though I'm sure you guys know it already: "You think I'm mad, don't you?...Perhaps we're both mad." --Boris Karloff in "The Terror." |
Just a t shirt
I haven't seen the movie, but that title A cure for wellness reminds me of a t-shirt I saw: "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is."

Night of the Demons 1988

I recently watched Village of the Damned again. The John Carpenter version, I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the original version that came out in the 1960's (this one was made in the 1990's).
I actually liked it. It was about a bunch of women in a small town who mysteriously give birth to these evil white-haired children after a blackout knocks everybody in the town unconscious. The children are highly intelligent, very cold and unemotional, and possess the ability to read people's minds. But their most terrifying power is the ability to make people commit grizzly suicide (usually they only do this when somebody threatens them) by controlling their minds with these glowing eyeballs. And of course the government gets involved and wants to study the children but things don't go too well for many of the townspeople and eventually they have to find a way to stop the children. Anyways what I liked most about this movie (besides the concept of evil children murdering people like in Children of the Corn) was the fact that we never found out exactly what the children were. Were they aliens? A government experiment? Or maybe some sort of evolution of the human race? My favorite line in the movie that I think summed them up perfectly was when Mara told her father "You must be aware, in some basic sense, of exactly who... WHAT we are". |

I just watched Leprechaun 2 on Hulu. I feel like the opening credits scene was genius, with the Leprechaun reading over his magic scroll showing the girl he wanted to make his bride and her line of descendants up until the most recent one being the leading female character of the movie. I loved how each sketch of the women showed them wearing various clothing that would have fit into Ireland's many time periods from the Medieval ages to the Renaissance to the Victorian era and then her great grandmother sailing for America with her grandmother dressed like a flapper and her mother dressed like a 1950's housewife. I thought it was awesomesauce. ::cool::

Terrifier (2017).
Well, I just saw this a little while after checking out "All Hallows Eve". I thought both of them were ok. This one felt a bit more like a "real" film than the loose almost anthology-esqe effort of the first one. I don't find clowns scary. I appreciated the more structured film this time around. Loved that Art actually finds his murderous acts enjoyable and funny. Though yeah I think it gets talked up a bit...I guess films like this don't come out too often so the style of yesteryear appeals. I *hope* the twist was meant to be obvious? I'd be interested in seeing something of an origin or explanation film...I have to admit it evoked some interest as to just how human Art was, or was not. It's interesting enough I suppose. Felt a bit cheap and gritty though I imagine that was the intention. All in all not bad, though I don't really find it all that deserving of the praise it seems to get thrown upon it. Good example (to me) of a similar style of film would be CREEP from 2004, or MANIAC if you like throwbacks. |

Rewatching Dawn of the dead-remake. It was actually a bit better than I remember. Good cast too. Ving Rhames is a badass as usual, Sarah Polley did a good job and to be fair, it was kinda cool seeing Michael Kelly rocking the stache.

IT -
This was darker than I expected. But I'm looking forward to the sequel, watching the original mini series, and reading the book. The only thing I didn't like about the movie were some of the darker things going on with one of the characters and also the level of hostility of the mean kids. That was a bit too much. The movie almost felt like a horror version of Goonies. The clown is a great villian too. It's almost a perfect movie except for those bits that bothered me to the point where I wouldn't show it to young kids. Which is the strange part because you would think a movie staring kids should be for kids. But I just felt the movie could have been better without those aspects and I would probably put it in my collection then. |
JOY RIDE (2001). Pretty good flick that plays a lot like a SUPERNATURAL episode: long road trip, vintage car, squabbling brothers, formidable villain, girl who proves invaluable and even Jim Beaver too! But, I don't think that Sam and Dean could be as DENSE as the two brothers here, especially Fuller, a most annoying SOB. Paul Walker is good here and sad remembering he died in a car accident while Jesse drives like a stock car racer. Early JJ Abrahms too. ***
