I watched the first few episodes of S1 of the ScyFy Van Helsing series on Netflix. It's okay so far, though the premise is kinda wonky.

Saw 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark' on Thursday of last week. Definitely one of the most creepy and compelling (despite certain cliches) horror movies we've gotten in recent years. I had mixed feelings about the ending though.

Started watching "Megabeast Investigator Juspion" (Or "Space Wolf Juspion," which is the way cooler title) after the blu-ray finally arrived in the mail. I've never seen any of the Metal Hero shows beyond random gifs or whatever stock footage was recycled for "Big Bad Beetleborgs." It's bonkers and I love it so far!

That said really enjoyed it myself and more so after the disappointment IMO that was It: Chapter Two.

Rambo: Last Blood
I last watched Rambo 5: Average Blood.
Title Pun aside. The movie wasn't bad. But it is a middling movie.
If Rambo series, Rocky series, Cobra, Demolition Man and back in the day Cliffhanger and Daylight were top-tier Stallone films.
With Escape Plan and Expendables 3 being bottom-tier Stallone films.
Rambo: Last Blood is middle tier alongside Expendables 1 & 2.
Action scenes were great and impactful but backloaded to the end of the movie.
Plus the overall atmosphere of the movie doesn't feel the same as the other Rambo movies. You could tell this was the case from the trailers though.

Re: The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0
We watched The Innocents last night. I loved The Turn of the Screw when I read it in high school, so I'd been wanting to see the movie for a little over... (checks watch)... 22 years(!), and I'm so glad I finally got around to it!
I'm a sucker for ambiguous horror that can be read as either supernatural or psychological, and both the book and the movie are among the all-time classics of this mode. In this case, the way it transitions from feeling like something supernatural is happening to feeling like it's probably all a delusion is completely organic (despite being achieved by using multiple screenwriters to revise each others' work).
And Freddie Francis was just such a brilliant DP. Wonderfully subtle lighting, flawless deep focus, and astonishingly graceful camera movement.

^That's one of the spookiest movies I've ever seen. It plays well as a companion piece to The Haunting.

Re: The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0
I just saw Zombieland: Double Tap, that was a good, fun time. While it didn't measure up to the original in terms of pacing, it has more heart than a lot of sequels and still manages to bring enough laughs and zombie fun while adding just enough new elements to keep it fresh. Oh and Woody Harrelson kills it (no pun intended) as always.

Re: The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0
Been having my annual monster/horror movie then
Last watch were Them! and Cult of Chucky
Both were excellent. Them was the best non-Japanese classic monster flick I've seen and Cult was everything I wanted in a Chucky movie and then some.
10/10 for Them, 8/10 for Cult

The Trick or Treat Picture Show
this isn't a movie, it's a collection of two failed shorts, failed documentary, two terrible cooking videos and old drive-in consetion adds, all set to the same looping, public domain synth music. Thank God for the fast forward button.

Re: The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0
Final watched the new Halloween. It wasn't bad but I do feel it rushed through things a little too fast and the deaths just lacked the same impact of the original. They didn't do much to develop most the new characters either. They're pretty much introduced solely to be fodder for Michael. All in all it was decent enough but I felt there should have been more to it.

Re: The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0
I’ve been watching all the Halloween movies and I’m trying to figure out what is appealing about these movies? I like the first one but I don’t see how Michael Myers is that exciting to watch.

Re: The Latest Movie/TV show You Watched Topic 2.0
The original is one of my favorite movies of all time, but there's literally only one of the sequels that I consider a particularly good movie (Halloween 4). I don't think the character was ever suited to carry an ongoing franchise.kaijumilitia wrote:I’ve been watching all the Halloween movies and I’m trying to figure out what is appealing about these movies?

Yeah, the original Halloween is the only one that's well-received, not counting the 2018 rebootquel.eabaker wrote:The original is one of my favorite movies of all time, but there's literally only one of the sequels that I consider a particularly good movie (Halloween 4).

Howling III: The Marsupials
I last watched the movie Howling III: The Marsupials. I appreciate some of the things that are going on in this movie. It's the only movie I know of that features a Werewolf God and that it also depicts the werewolves as the 'good guys'. The movie also feels very weird from beginning to end.

Let The Corpse Tan
If this movie had come out this year, it would have be in my top ten of the year. It is filmed in such a way that makes you remember why widescreen is amazing and the movie has incredibly strong style that is a feast for the eyes. This is the sort of movie that all of you should be watching instead of what ever crap fest Disney farts out.

Dolemite is My Name
Just finished watching Eddie Murphy's Rudy Ray Moore biopic Dolemite Is My Name.
What a great movie.
People are saying this is Eddie Murphy's best in years but I personally think this is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie overall.
If you have a chance to watch the original Dolemite do so, it's a lot of fun. It even has more boom mic's in shot than Plan 9 From Outer Space.
