TODAY I WATCHED (Movies, TV Shows) 2016

The Walking Dead season finale. A bit tedious with the "herding" of the main characters but that ending.... cool but also not cool. Now we have to wait for October.

I usually don't complain about TWD but I was disappointed with the "finale." There was no need to drag that episode out for 90 minutes. And of course, everybody KNEW they were gonna fade to black as soon as Negan swung "Lucille" and we'd have to wait till October to find out who took the hit. Pfffft.

The whole thing was a long, slow handjob with no "happy ending."

Finished Daredevil season 2 (Excellent!)


Agents Of SHIELD

Agree with all the Walking Dead sentiments. They seem to do this with every 90-minute episode. The padding is ridiculous. Which is really what the whole show suffers from.

But it was cool seeing Negan at last.

Better Call Saul

Jeopardy

The Thin Red Line. Breathtaking movie. It's probably the best war film I've ever seen.

I stumbled across a PBS special about finding a new Viking settlement in North America based on satellite imagery.  The Cards were getting clobbered so I started clicking around, found this and became engrossed.

Supernatural

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015)


30 years after "Jedi," Luke Skywalker is M.I.A. and a new evil has risen from the ashes of the Empire. Some of our old friends team up with some new ones (a scavenger and a defecting Stormtrooper) to kick some serious bad-guy ass and to find Luke's super-secret hidden location.

Nevermind the sh*tty prequels, this is the first real "Star Wars" movie in 30+ years. Thank you, J.J. Abrams! You've made this old fanboy very happy.

Love it ! I saw it in theaters and am picking up the Blu-ray tomorrow.

Yesterday was my day off so I hit the RedBox machine around the corner bright and early in the morning to make sure I got one.

I am definitely buying the BluRay sometime soon now.

"Hell Fire" (2015)

Four prostitutes, in an attempt to double cross their pimp, kidnap his newest business associate -- who turns out to be the Anti-Christ. What are the odds? Eventually the prisoner starts using his Satanic powers to turn his captors against one another in various gory, ultra-violent ways.
The plot description sounded promising but this was nothin' but cheap, loud, irritating shot on video crap. AVOID.

Smackdown

Big Bang Theory

Better Call Saul. This is currently my favorite show, hands down.

"AC/DC: And Then There Was Rock! Life Before Brian" (2005)

This is one of those cheap, "unauthorized" rock documentaries that consists mainly of still photos and public-domain footage, and can't use any of the band's actual music. Despite that, this examination of AC/DC's early years is actually pretty interesting. The interviewees (incl. original AC/DC vocalist Dave Evans and drummer Colin Burgess, and U.K. rock critic Malcolm Dome) tell some great stories and there's even some rare footage of Bon Scott crooning away in his pre-AC/DC band "Fraternity," which I'd never seen before. Even diehard, know-it-all AC/DC fans might learn something new from this doc.


"Avalanche Sharks" (2013)

Here's some seriously high-concept shiz, folks. Ski bunnies vs. snow-swimming spirit sharks during Spring Break! An avalanche awakens a Native American curse on a mountain resort, just in time for their big Bikini Snow Weekend bash. Don'cha hate when that happens? There are some pretty girls in this cheaper-than-usual "Sharknado" wanna-be, but that's about the only nice thing I can say about it.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens


Just as great as the first time I saw it.

LOL!!!!!!!

I thought the episode was OK - the best part was Negan at the end. I never read the comics, but who Negan kills in the comics has been widely posted on the internet. I am guess we wait until October to find out

SPOILER:

met Lucille

"Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead" (2014)


The lone survivor of the first "Dead Snow" enlists a team of American zombie "experts" - and some undead Russians - to help him defeat that horde of pesky Nazi zombies once and for all. This sequel to the Norwegian horror/comedy hit is faster, funnier, and just as over-the-top gory as the original. Ultra-violent, sicko fun.

The Bride Of Frankenstein (1935) - the Universal classic starring Boris Karloff and Colin Clive. I've seen this many times and have enjoyed each time it's shown.

Martin Starr is hilarious in that movie. I liked that it a lot better than the first one.

I saw the first ten minutes a while back and had a huge grin on my face, but something came up and I couldn't finish it. The first one was decent and fun enough, but what I saw of 2 looks like an extra 10 miles of that. I need to get back to watching it.

I still need to see this one. I loved the first one.

"Boa vs. Python" (2004)



Two cheaply CGI'd serpents battle it out, with a bunch of stupid humans caught in the middle. Nuff said. "Sharknado" looks like "Masterpiece Theater" next to this dreck.
