Rumpelstiltskin (1995) - the fairy-tale gnome has been trapped inside a figurine since medieval times, but now he's on the loose in '90s Los Angeles, where he has nefarious plans for a young widow and her baby son.
...cheap direct-to-video cheez from the writer/director of the original "Leprechaun"... which tells you pretty much everything you need to know. :D

- Mu ji zhe (2017): interesting and enjoyable Chinese mystery flick.
- It (2017): very good remake. Better than the original, in my opinion. - The Basketball Diaries (1995): one of the best anti-drugs films I've seen. Leonardo Dicaprio gives an excellent performance. - Kansen (2004): Japanese terror film with a very complicated and symbolic plot. Edited by Sisslith - 04 Oct 2017 at 2:20pm |

A bit of a B-grade acted movie, but I still kind of liked it:

 Riding High (1981) Slight spoiler alert! Basically an excuse to hook together a number of Eddie Kidd motorbike jumps, footage of Eddie Kidd riding bikes, and a couple of comedy turns among an implausible story with more holes in it than a sieve. The jump at the end over an 80 feet gap in a disused viaduct across the Blackwater River is a fucking ripper! Kidd can't act for shit, but it doesn't really matter. Irene Handl, playing his Granny hams it up for all she's worth. A young Lynda Bellingham is wasted as Miss Mott. Some of the supporting characters aren't bad, like Dorking (Zoot Money), Astro (Owen Whittaker, who has a funny incident with a truck) and The Halifax Hellcat (Ken Kitson). Otherwise, Marvin Ravensdorf (Murray Salem) would probably be called borderline racist today with his portrayal of a money-grabbing Jewish promoter, Judas S. Chariot (Bill Mitchell) is a bit cliched as a washed-out drunk former stuntman a la Evel Knievel, and Zoro (Marella Oppenheim) has a nice ass but is a wooden character. The soundtrack isn't bad, featuring mostly late-70s/early-80s soft rock/synth pop, along with Eddie Kidd's anything-but-metal rendition of "Heavy Metal". Overall, silly escapist fun. I had the book of this movie when I was a kid, and my brothers and I read it repeatedly 'til it died. A case of the book being better than the movie if ever there was one. 2/5 |

Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) - The Big G's 50th Anniversary flick has enuff plot for twelve movies; doesn't make a lick of sense but it's a ton o'fun to watch.
Curtains (1983) - Disappointingly slow moving slasher flick set at a movie audition Tales of Halloween (2015) - ten short horror stories all set in the same town on All Hallows' Eve. Lotsa low budget fun ala "Creepshow" or "Trick r' Treat." Last Showing (2014) Robert Englund as a crazed movie theater employee who traps a couple in the cinema overnight and forces them to star in their own "horror movie." Not great but I've seen worse. Truck Turner (1974) Soul music legend Isaac Hayes as a badass L.A. skip tracer/bounty hunter. Action packed sleazy fun. The Burning (1981) Surprisingly brutal summer-camp slasher flick, a cut above the usual for the genre (sorry, I couldn't resist). Hush (2016) - Deaf/mute woman at a secluded cabin vs. murderous home invader. Hilarity ensues. Gerald's Game (2017) - Netflix original based on the Stephen King novel about a sexy-time game gone wrong. Weird, disturbing, worth watching in spit of the cop out ending. |

 Amazing film. It's a bit slow at first and I wish there was a bit more explanation for a couple things, but overall I found it incredibly suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Jaws 2 (1978) - sequel that's not even in the same ballpark as Spielberg's original, of course, but it's still a halfway decent creature feature. Lord knows it's better than the rest of the "Jaws" flicks that followed it...

The first one was pretty decent, but this follow-up is not worth watching:

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) - small town doctor tries to stop mass murder on a nationwide scale via specially programmed masks and a devious TV commercial. Ignored back in the day, cult classic now.
Cult of Chucky (2017) - The lone survivor of last year's "Curse of Chucky" is locked up in a looneybin when the killer doll comes looking for her. Hilarity does not ensue. A surprisingly dark flick that's actually quite badass -- which makes two in a row for ol' Chucky. Who'da thunk? Not bad for a franchise I wrote off twenty plus years ago.

Hmm...it´s a bit hard to love this one, if you´ve read the books, but if you disregard the books, it´s a fairly decent movie:

^ I want to see it, but I'm very sceptical about it.
As for me, I've recently watched a few on netflix: The Unfolding (2016): I saw this through, but it was pretty much your typical paranormal found footage style horror, though with the twist that it was set in the run up to the whole world going nuclear. Which for me made it make little sense: why are these people so concerned about a haunted house (that isn't even theirs) when nuclear Armageddon is just around the corner? The Descent (2005): This was a pretty decent horror, though I felt it's twist ending (which felt pretty generic for horror to me) was pretty bad. Cheapened the events of the film IMO. Visions (2015): Watchable horror with a twist I didn't see coming. Good but not great. Gerald's Game (2017): Netflix made film of the Stephen King book. Not read it, so I can't say how accurate it is. Thought the film was slow but enjoyable. And also watched the new Pirates of the Caribbean on DVD. Enjoyed it but they'll never top the original or even the second.
