Last seen movies

Yeah, good calls on Alien Nation and Summer School. Both great flicks.

I never saw Moving Violations.

"Moving Violations" - one of the less-successful '80s screwball comedies from the guys who made "Police Academy" and "Bachelor Party." A bunch of terrible drivers (including Fred Willard, Wendie Jo Sperber, and John Murray -- youngest bro of Bill Murray -- in his first and perhaps only leading role) are sentenced to city Traffic School in order to regain their driver's licenses. The traffic school is, of course, being taught by a vengeful, psycho traffic cop who has his own hidden agenda. Naturally, hilarity and madcap hijinks ensue.

Not a great movie by any means, but it's one of those flicks I watched zillions of times on HBO when I was in junior high and it still makes me smirk today. Something for the juvenile fourteen-year-old in all of us.

I love movies like this one. "Summer School" is another one no one knows about, that I have seen perhaps 10 times! I bet you've seen it too. You keep bringing up all the great moveis from my youth Alien Nation being yet another example.

Oh yeah, "Summer School" is a great flick! I think I still have that one on VHS somewhere in the back of the closet. I love the two guys who are addicted to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and wow, Kirstie Alley was still hot when she made that flick! Not to mention the Italian exchange student, whatever her name was. Mmmmmm, eye candy!

Star Trek.

Great movie...

I saw Nine. Not bad but not one of Tim Burton's best.

I'm assuming you mean "9," the post apocalyptic puppet animated movie, and not "Nine" the current musical?

Glad to see the love for Summer School. Easily in my top ten all-time. I saw that thing in the theater four times. Actually got my grandparents to get it on VHS for me on my birthday when to buy those things costs like fifty bucks. It is one of my most loved dvds these days.

For Christmas I got the Heavy Metal Parking Lot dvd. It's a pretty cool package actually. The documentary itself is probably the weakest thing on it. Worth it for the reunion stuff and the tour of this metal collectors basement. I know it's something that is supposed to be laughed at but for me growing up in the area it's pure nostalgia.

Seeing how Tim Burton is not involved with the musical Nine, he means 9.

I kinda figured. I was just being a wise ass. Nevermore doesn't strike me as a Broadway musical kinda guy.

Monty Python - "Parrot Sketch Not Included"

I got a dvd in the mail today....called GRACE....looks nifty.


And Burton was only a producer for "9"....he didnt write or direct it.

An American Werewolf in London. This is one of the best. I saw this movie as a kid when it first hit theaters and I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen it over the years. The true star of the film is the effects which still hold up very well today. A true classic.

Yeah, that's a good movie! I like An American Werewolf in Paris too.

CSI: New York (Season Three)

Finally saw Død Snø (or Dead Snow for you Americans ) today. I even went out to buy a Blue-Ray player to get to see it

The movie was even better than I dared to hope for. I'm well pleased with the Norwegian nazi-zombie-horror-splatter-comedy!

I thought it was great as well. Now I want to see more Scandinavian horror.

I saw the trailer for this on another movie I got recently. This looks pretty good.

Hah, there is not much to see, I'm afraid. There is a new Swedish vampire movie, called "Låt Den Rätta Komma Inn" (Let The Righ One Inn), that is said to be very good. It's not your traditional vampire movie though, but still a fascinating picture. I'm watching it tomorrow. You can read about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/

Glad you liked it, but too much bad CGI for me IMO. The first one set the bar really high.

Kmorg and Spec....

I strongly recommend the film, CALVAIRE....it's Belgian , I believe....and one of the creepiest most distrubing I've seen in a while....

It's in my top 20 (which says alot as I think Im second to toho for sheer volume of horror films digested in my life.....)

Tombstone

I heard about this one but never bothered watching it because all the reviews say it's pretty bloodless.

It is light on blood but way heavy on disturbing and strange...

I just ordered "Grace" from Amazon zShops.

Less than $6 ppd; at that price, how bad can it be.

BTW, completely out of left field but has anyone else ever seen "Teeth"? Similarly, not very gory but very disturbing and somewhat funny at the same time.

TEETH is great.....And actually GRACE has a very similar vibe to it....
