Thank you. I needed a laugh!

Spectre 6.5/10

Skyfall was so much better.

Been doing some re-watching due to lack of new movies.

Monster Man (2003)
B
"Two guys and a female hitchhiker are terrorized by a monstrous looking man driving a giant monster truck."
Second viewing.
With a title like that you'd expect a crapyy B or C flick but this one's actually quite alright. I'd say everything's a little bit better than average for this kind of movie.

Project X (2012)
B
Second viewing. Still pretty decent.
Like it or not, but I think it's a near perfect execution of the concept.
Read about a sequel. Could be fun.

Drag Me To Hell (2009)
C
To me this movie is a bit like a light version of Evil Dead.
It's not actually bad, but it doesn't feel right to me.

An American Ghost Story

Omg I'm dying. I might have to make this one a review because the first, the FIRST thing that starts to act weird, drives the wife to act like a lunatic.

Chairs move and cabinets open in AAGS:


Chairs move and cabinets open in Poltergeist:

(Rephrased for comedic effect, but you get the idea. Diane Freeling handled her situation like a boss. This woman in this movie is a bag of cats and will not be missed.)

If these people can't get past cabinets trying to fly and an AOL mail notification, then they're screwed.

Rest of the movie is the writer guy being an idiot. Who lives in a haunted house KNOWING what happened in it and how many lives were ruined because of the spirits inside? Apparently this moron! To sum up this movie, if you're afraid of bed sheet ghosts, then this movie will traumatize you.

ONE scene in Beetlejuice summarizes why this movie does NOT work and was likely made my high school kids:




Jeezus, one more movie like this and I start an old reliable marathon of classic slashers and monsters.

I admit I actually kinda liked that part, but yeah it was WTF.
How 'bout it! I lost patience at that point too! Only reason I finished it was to see if the little fuckers got dead for the dog.

Hilarious review! This line needs to be framed. The captioned screencaps are a nice touch.

I believed he was that person, that character was pretty ambiguous; but I didn't get the feeling he would be a part of that criminal element, but then again, the film presents those guys that way.

What scenes did you find way too long?
1-Vincents date with Mia could have been trimmed
2-The bit with Butch's taxi ride, annoying girlfriend/watch really dragged out.
3-Was hoping Jules would have popped Yolanda to shut her up and avoid the philosophy lesson.

I know this makes me sound anal...thought PF was/is pretty good, but prefer RESERVOIR DOGS overall as it's lean and mean.

STAR WARS (2015). My wife LOVES the first three (not so much the second trilogy), so we caught this at a matinee I'm not a huge SW fan, but she enjoyed it. Thought it was pretty good overall and always nice to see Harrison Ford, but once was enough for me. ***
