TODAY I WATCHED (Movies, TV Shows) 2016

Ring Of Honor

i'm on season 6 of Game of Thrones now.

Some episodes of That Metal Show.

"The Secret Life of Pets" (2016)


A pampered urban-dwelling pooch's life turns upside down when his owner adopts another dog from the pound. The inevitable personality conflicts lead to serious animated mayhem that takes them across the city, so their fellow pet friends mount a rescue mission. I took my soon-to-be-9-year-old son to see this today for his birthday (which is tomorrow)... he had a blast and so did I. Very funny stuff!

Being the avid pet-lover that I am, I'll be getting this in Blu-ray when it comes out.

The Big Short

Star Trek Beyond

"Three the Hard Way" (1974)

Blaxploitation's three biggest stars - Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, "Gentleman" Jim Brown and Jim "Enter the Dragon" Kelly -team up to defeat a white supremacist group who plan to commit nationwide black genocide. Much butt gets kicked, lots of stuff blows up, many bullets fly, and some hot girls take their tops off, too. This is a better than average blaxploitation epic, packed with lots of funky action. Outa-site, man!!

Hemlock Grove Season 3, episode 2&3

Bill Hicks: Revelations. One of my favorite stand-up specials.

It hasn't taken you long to burn through years of GoT! I'm kinda jealous, 10 episodes followed by a 9 month wait for more sucks!

that's probably the unconscious reason i took 6 years to get around to watching it, haha.
once i'm done with it i don't know what i'm gonna do with myself, lol. i feel like waiting a week for the next episode (which I've never had to do yet) would suck, let alone waiting 9 months, haha.

Howard the Duck ( Lord it was horrid!!!)

"Inside Metal: The L.A. Metal Scene Explodes" (2016)

Members of Dokken, W.A.S.P., Great White, Ratt, Armored Saint, Sound Barrier, Pandemonium, and many more share their memories of the early '80s "boom years" of the Sunset Strip heavy metal scene. There are some decent stories told in this documentary but overall it's kinda dry.  

"RoboCop: Crash and Burn" (2001)

The corporate sleaze bags at OCP are ready to unveil a new artificial-intelligence program called "SAINT" which will fully automate Delta City... unfortunately a cyber-terrorist wants to infect it with a virus that will cause the deaths of millions. RoboCop to the rescue! This fourth and final chapter in the "Prime Directives" saga is basically 90 minutes of bullets flying, stuff blowing up, glass breaking and people (and cyborgs) beating the crap out of each other. Mindless fun but not a must see.

Ring Of Honor

10 Cloverfield Lane

'71

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015)


This is already my second viewing of this flick, and that's something I rarely, if ever, do - usually if I sit for a repeat viewing of a movie, it's been years since I last saw it!
... and again, all I can say is "Thank you, J.J. Abrams. You've made this old fanboy very happy."

How was that? I thought it looked great in the trailers.

In the Cut

"Ozark Sharks" (2016)


A family's vacation at a backwoods camping resort is rudely interrupted when a group of sharks swims upriver and begins munching on all the puny humans in their path. Typically mindless SyFy shark movie schlock, generic but watchable.

This flick probably would've been more enjoyable if it hadn't aired right after the similarly themed (and much better) "Swamp Shark," because after catching the tail end of that, "Ozark" felt like I was sitting through a re-run. ("Swamp Shark" also had a hotter leading lady - Kristy Swanson, aka the O.G. Buffy. The lead girl in "Ozark" was some goofy lookin' emo chick. Haha)

Star Trek; Beyond

Pre-gaming for tonight's premiere of "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens"...

"Sharknado 2: The Second One" (2014)

Finn and April's trip to New York City is rudely interrupted by yet another shark-filled weather anomaly in the sequel that is bigger, louder, dumber, and way more ridiculous fun than the original. The best of the "Sharknado" flicks by a mile.

"Ice Sharks" (2015)

(no trailer on YouTube)
The staff at an Arctic research station is busily studying the melting of the Polar ice cap, when they come under attack by a horde of hungry prehistoric sharks. So basically, this is a wintry version of "Deep Blue Sea," made on a fraction of the budget and without any big name stars. I've seen better shark flicks, but Lord knows I've seen lots worse.

Finished up Hemlock Grove
