That was EXACTLY my opinion of the movie. It's OK, but being a major fan of The Descent this movie left me more pissed off at the obvious ripoff than anything else.

"Hellraiser: Bloodline" (1996)


Fourth film in the series starts off in 18th century France with the story of the "toymaker" who sculpted the original "puzzle box" that opened the gateway for Pinhead and his Cenobite friends... then jumps to the 20th century New York and follows one of the toymaker's descendants through another battle with Pinhead. Finally we conclude in the 22nd Century, where the last member of his family line has laid a special trap for Pinhead in a specially designed space station in orbit around the Earth.

"Bloodline" is slightly cheap looking, but it's an otherwise cool entry in the never-ending "Hellraiser" saga, with plenty o' the usual gory mayhem. I liked the newly added sci-fi element. Considering that the production was marred by tons of behind-the-scenes drama that included the original director quitting in mid-production and being replaced by a guy who supposedly re-shot half the movie and radically re-edited the other half, this was still the last film in the "Hellraiser" saga that was worth a crap.

My Chauffeur (1986)



Severely dated (man, the mid-80s were godawful)...though nostalgic fun starring the infinitely cute Deborah Foreman (Valley Girl, April Fool's Day) as a girl busting down the doors of a stodgy old male-dominated limousine service. No plot to speak of, just a series of skits stitched together by a well-worn long-lost-daughter formula leftover from 30s screwball comedies. The film debut of Penn & Teller. Only Foreman's charisma keeps it afloat.

Yeah, I actually like this one. But you nailed it; last one in the franchise that's worth seeing.

It has one of my favorite Pinhead lines: when the Toymaker guy sez "For God's sake..." and Pinhead bellows, "DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO CARES WHAT GOD THINKS?"

Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back

Cabin In The Woods (BluRay)
Still love this movie and I laugh my ass off in spots now that I've seen it several times and get the gist of the movie.

I watched an episode of Police Squad! tonight.

"Swordfish" (2001)



Complicated action/techno thriller with a more-hammy-than-usual John Travolta as a criminal mastermind who draws a famed hacker (Hugh Jackman) out of retirement to help him plan a massively scaled bank robbery. Of course, things go horribly wrong, leading to much destruction of property and gun play.

Also, we get to see Halle Berry's bare boobs, which if memory serves was a major selling point for this movie when it was first released.

This flick is stylish and well made but ultimately it's just empty calories. Free advice: freeze frame the shot of Halle's boobs long enough to commit them to memory, and then eject the DVD .... cuz they're the only memorable thing about this movie.

Watched the final episode of Game Of Thrones (season two)

Halle demanded and received an extra $1 million for that topless scene.

Lt. Frank Drebin: I think we know how he did it.
Sally Decker: Oh, Howie couldn't have done it!

So many great lines from that show!

Watching:

Psych

Knight Rider - Season 2

X-Files (season Eight) - Never did see these post-Mulder seasons when they originally aired, decided to give it a shot.

The Ten (2007)



I checked this one out on Netflix today; it's not a terrible comedy film, but it definitely could have been executed in a better manner. The all-star cast couldn't save this one from the mediocre material. I'd recommend passing on it.

i thought the post-Mulder were pretty 'meh' for the most part. I thought the series should have ended with the first movie.
