TODAY I WATCHED (TV-series, Movies, Cinema Playlists) 2013

Hit & Run (2012)



Old school chase film starring real-life couple Kristen Bell & Dax Shepherd. Lots of fun.

Whenever I read or see "Hit & Run" it reminds me of when Def Leppard were great

Death Race 2000 (1975) - a pretty cool cult satirical flick starring David Carradine and a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone

then

Let Me In (2010) - about a "12" year old girl vampire and the bullied boy neighbor she ends up befriending. Good movie

Watched the Pro Bowl last night.

And then watched a documentary on Pagan/Folk Metal on dvd.

That is a very good film, but pales in comparison to the original Swedish version "Let The Right One In" which I highly recommend.

Yeah I knew it was a remake and having seen this version now I'd like to track down the original to compare.Let Me In just happened to be on my On Demand list so it was easy to catch.I imagine the original will be slightly more of a chore finding.


*EDIT* Should have checked Netflix because it's on there

Let The Right One In received good distribution in the States, I saw it in the theater. I like both versions and they aren't identical in structure, so I think they both stand on their own nicely.

Same here!

X-Men: First Class


Much better than I expected, I particularly liked the casting choices.

Argo (2012)




The kind of film that can renew your faith in Hollywood, brilliant entertainment.

The start of the late Owen Hart's most famous feud and the WWF RR debut of Scotty Flamingo/Raven (Johnny Polo, manager of the Quebecers-The Mounties-at this time). When I first found out Raven used to be this guy, I was quite shocked because I actually remembered the Polo character.

Django Unchained

"Nightmare City" (1980)



(Warning: trailer contains gore and boobies. NSFW)

Also known as "City of the Walking Dead," this Spanish/Italian co-production is quite frankly one of the most batsh*t insane movies I've ever seen.

A radioactive spill transforms city residents into murderous blood sucking zombies, and a news reporter (Hugo Stiglitz) and his wife struggle to escape before they're overrun. Yeah, that's the whole plot. These are not just any garden variety zombies, mind you - they can drive cars, fly airplanes, and use guns, knives and axes. Yoiks!!!

Action packed from the get-go, this movie is terrible but it sucks so awesomely that you can't help but love it. There's cheap zombie makeup, some semi-decent gore (incl. an eyeball gouging; I guess every Italian horror flick made in the 80s was required to have one of those), lotsa gratuitious nudity, and plenty of atrociously-dubbed utterly "WTF" dialogue. A totally irresistible slab of ultra-cheesy, grindhouse Eurotrash.

This was my first time seeing the uncut "Nightmare City" version of this flick (I own a crap quality dollar store DVD with the US edit version, "City of the Walking Dead"), and it was nice to see the movie in a nice clean widescreen transfer. Anchor Bay and Blue Underground, as usual, give this movie more tender love and care than it probably deserves.

right on Kieth

I remember watching this on VHS and smoking big ol bombers

I watched 'The Three Stooges' movie last night. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but not great either. I will say that the guys playing the Stooges really had the mannerisms of the originals down quite well. It kept me entertained for 90 minutes. That and Sofia Vergaras' boobs.

"Ed Wood" (1994)



Tim Burton's bio-pic of the legendary 50s schlock-film director stars Johnny Depp as Ed Wood, a Hollywood wanna-be with a penchant for cross-dressing who strikes up a friendship with the has-been horror star Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau) and eventually manages to capture the title of Worst Director of All Time.

Filmed in glorious black & white and featuring great performances by all involved (even Depp, who I usually find irritating), this is an entertaining look at the odd life of the man behind "Glen or Glenda," "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Bride of the Monster."
