"Justice League vs. Teen Titans" (2016)


Batman sends hostile young Damien Wayne (the new Robin) to Teen Titans HQ for some lessons in teamwork and playing well with others. While he struggles to fit in, the world-destroying demon Trigon possesses the most powerful members of the Justice League, and the young Titans team suddenly find themselves playing in the big league. As usual, lots of blasting, zapping and destruction ensues.
"JL vs TT" wasn't a top drawer DC Animated Universe flick but it was entertaining fanboy viewing.

Started season 2 of:

Billy Madison (1995)

Adam Sandler as a goof off who must complete every school grade in order to take over his retiring father's (the late Darren McGavin) Fortune 500 company. Also co-stars Norm McDonald,Chris Farley and hottie Bridgette Wilson.

I bought this movie and watched it a few short weeks ago, and I agree. Fun, cool little movie but not there best.

Doctor Who - Day of the Doctor

By any chance have you seen their animated version of "Batman: The Killing Joke" yet? I haven't but it looks badass!

I've seen Spinal Tap at least a dozen times and like "The Holy Grail", it still always cracks me up.

"Weiner" (2016)


This documentary follows disgraced former NY congressman Anthony Weiner's attempt at a comeback by running for Mayor of New York City. His campaign actually seems to be getting off to a pretty good start at first, but it's eventually derailed by yet another "sexting" scandal that turns him into a national punch line and threatens his marriage.
Watching Weiner and his team trying to perform damage control as the campaign inevitably implodes around them (and Weiner's long suffering wife does a permanent slow burn) is bizarrely entertaining, in a Spinal Tap sort of way. Obviously when Weiner signed up for this doc, he expected the film to have a much happier ending.

The Invisible Man Returns (1940)

The late,great Vincent Price as a man wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of his brother. His friend,and the brother of the original Invisible Man, injects him with the invisibility formula so he can escape and hopefully capture the real killer. It's a race against time however as Price slowly becomes mad from the formula while the scientist (Frank Sutton) attempts to find an antidote. I found this one rather entertaining but I don't think the special effects were as good as the original film some 7 Yeats earlier.

Babylon 5 - S2, E3

Now we're rolling. The Shadows and their creepy spider-like black ships have appeared and starting destroying stuff.

"Night Of The Living Dead" (1990)

Gore-makeup guru Tom Savini made his directorial debut with this entertaining remake of the George Romero classic. The story's still the same - a group of squabbling strangers hole up in an abandoned farm house to ride out the zombie apocalypse  - but Savini updates a few minor details and overhauls the heroine "Barbara," who's way more of a  bad-ass than she was in the '68 flick. I remember thinking this "NOTLD" was pretty hardcore when I saw it in a theater back in the day, but now it seems almost quaint in this age of ultra-violent zombie TV like "The Walking Dead." How times have changed!

I watched Caddyshack last night for the first time. Rodney Dangerfield is hilarious, I didn't realize he acted.

When this first came out way back then, a big deal was made around here because the scrawny zombie that pops into view in the doorway or window (whichever, it's been awhile since I saw this) was from my little hometown. I have no idea who he was but I thought that was pretty cool.

I could watch Caddyshack every day. One of my all time favorite movies.

I watched the X Files season, episodes 18 through 24

I thought I was the only one on the planet who's never seen Caddyshack.

It's one of many on a long list of "all time greats" that I've never seen and really don't have any desire to.  I'm really picky about comedies and the trailers and snippets I've seen just didn't do anything for me.  Same thing with Groundhog Day which is another one everyone insists I "must see".  Eh, mainstream comedies generally don't appeal to me.  I like satire, parody and really dry (read "British" humor). Or really dark or black humor (like horror comedies).

I thought it was entertaining, I didn't laugh out loud at anything but I guess I kinda was expecting it to be on the slap stick side of comedy, which it totally was, not to mention some seriously outdated stereotypes. I more with you on satire and witty dry humored comedies, but yeah man it was a fun movie.

For example, THIS is my kind of comedy. Of course as with any satire/parody, you have to understand the reality it's playing off of but being a rock music fan I totally did so I really dug this. I still think it's hilarious even though I've seen it umpteen times. I even think the outtakes are funny as hell.

What the freak Zeke ?

"Frontier" on NETFLIX was only like 6 episodes.
