TODAY I WATCHED... (Movies, TV) 2017

Yeah Green Room is kickass.

^^ I don't think "Green Room" quite lived up to all the raves & hype it's been getting but it was a decent watch anyhoo...

"The Revenant" (2015)


A lone frontiersman (Leonardo DiCaprio) survives a grizzly bear attack, being left for dead in the wilderness, and brutal winter weather so he can make his way back to civilization and get revenge on the guy who killed his son.
Westerns are usually not my meat at all but this one drew me right in. A beautifully filmed epic of survival (based on a true story!) that earned Leo a well deserved Oscar.

Hogans Heroes - Season 4

Saw V

Saw V

That franchise got ridiculous. I have them all and by the end you would be totally lost unless you have seen the preceding entries. And even then it's ridiculously convoluted with all the twists and non-linear storytelling.

"Vampirella" (1996)

Roger Corman produced this direct-to-video cheapie based on the cult horror/sci-fi comic book heroine. "Ella," a sexy bloodsucker from a planet of vampires, comes to Earth in a skimpy outfit to hunt down the evil vamp who killed her stepfather. This campy nonsense suffers from a serious case of mis-casting, especially former Bond girl Talisa Soto in the title role -- who's purty but not statuesque or chesty enough to fill out the Vampirella costume. The Who's Roger Daltrey (!), who hams it up big time as the bad guy, seems to be having fun though. I've seen worse but even on a Corman budget this could've been so much better.

"AC/DC: The Brian Johnson Years"
I had to check this out after hearing the news about Malcolm Young today. This is one of those cheap, no-frills "unauthorized" documentaries, in which U.K. rock critics like Malcolm Dome and Jerry Rutherford give an album-by-album run down of the Brian Johnson-era of AC/DC. Some bootleg-quality vintage live clips pad things out to feature length. Nothing earth shattering here, but a fun watch for fanboys.

Justice League

More anime:

High School of the Dead
Blood-C
Puella Magi Madoka Magica Trilogy
Some Afro Samurai

Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

The horror comedy movie that never grows old, this one deals with Dracula (Bela Lugosi in only his 2nd on screen appearance as Drac) plotting to put dimwit Costello's brain in the body of the Frankenstein Monster (Glenn Strange). Bud, Lou and Larry Talbot, the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.) attempt to stop the plan. This one never gets old and I try to catch it every time it's aired.

The Punisher episodes 1-7

I watched the new Family Guy episode last night. Funny stuff!

The Walking Dead

That was a tight little episode with a few decent rug-pulling moments. At first I was afraid the whole hour would be the dreaded "one-on-one talkie" between Gabriel and Negan. Glad to see they went several directions instead.

I've been rather impressed with the whole season so far. It's been humming along at such a brisk pace that I was surprised to see that there are only 3 episodes left before the break until spring.

My dad and I are going to see it tomorrow night.

This afternoon, I watched The Man Who Ate Himself to Death.

It's a documentary about a 900 pound man from Guam.

Here is a clip about him.

Holy crap!  I've never seen anything like that.  

Good motivation!  I've been under doctor's orders to lose weight because of high blood pressure.  I've already lost 20 pounds and I want to lose 30 more.  Seeing that guy is plenty of reason to keep going.
