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

"Phantasm II" (1988)



Seven years after the first "Phantasm," lone survivors "Mike" (fresh from a stint in a psych hospital) and "Reggie" set out on a road trip to track down the mysterious mortician known as "The Tall Man," who's setting up shop in a new town. Large guns, killer spheres, chainsaws, midgets, gooey yellow stuff, and gore ensue.

Faster moving and more action packed than the first flick, with better FX, but the story is still a muddle. Soooo... yeah, I think I'm done with this series.

Beware of Mr. Baker - Very good documentary about drummer Ginger Baker. Incredible artist but his own worst enemy. Hard to feel sorry for this sad, old man now, but wow! Such a talent, but such an insufferably madman pr*ck. Highly recommended.

He is a nasty bastard, Gary Moore was a complete gentlemen, but after their short stint as BBM ( Cream reunion minus Clapton) said it was sometimes best not to meet your heroes.

Most the folks in the doc pretty much say the same thing. "I love him, but I can't be around or near him for too long".

At least it will make for an interesting doc. I felt that way about the Ramones doc, came out of it not liking any of them much (apart from maybe Joey)

Anybody who thinks Baker is the ne plus ultra of being a prick really needs to read Miles Davis' autobiography. Miles could give anybody a run for their money in the asshole department. Doesn't make me like his music any less, but it's sure an entertaining read.

That got a good review from our local movie critic and he's not really into horror movies.

The Conjuring is good. There isn't a single thing you haven't seen before, but they do an excellent job of presenting the cliches in effective ways. I like the 70s vibe of the film.

'Expendables 2'. I was well entertained, barring some either off-the-mark dialogue or severe missed chance for dialogue. It was very good, but it COULD HAVE been as good as some of the legends in the field if left in the oven a little longer.

Breaking Bad. Good God that was quite an episode.

"Friday the 13th Part II" (1981)



In the first of many sequels to the 1980 horror hit, the late Mrs. Voorhees' little boy Jason takes up the family business -- namely, stalking the woods around Camp Crystal Lake and hacking up horny teenage camp counselors with farm implements. Nothin' fancy, just good friendly violent fun.

Was that not breath-taking??

Pirates vs Brewers game with the Pirates winning. And now they're only a half game back of the Cards with the chance to tie the Cards tonight. There's a big 3 game series between the Pirates and Cards this weekend. Should be great !

Boo Pirates!

Change of pace from my normal viewing habits today.  I started "Gangs Of New York".

TNA Impact

ready for :
HOUSE of CARDS s1e1

And the Pirates blow it, losing 4-0 to the Brewers. Now they're a game back of the Cards. They better bring their A game this weekend to compete with the redbirds.

"Barbarian Queen" (1985)



In this zero-budget "Conan" variant filmed in South America, a warrior woman's village is ransacked by an evil overlord who enslaves her people (on her wedding day, no less!)... so she saddles up with a couple of other sword-swingin' hotties and rides off on a mission of vengeance. Yep, that's the entire plot. This hilariously awful Z-Movie features lots of pretty girls who can't act, cheesy battle scenes and plenty of gratuitous boobage.

Useless trivia: actress Lana Clarkson, who plays the title character, was shot to death by legendary record producer Phil Spector in 2003.
