I still haven't checked that one out. Not a big fan of Clive Owen I couldn't stand him in Sin City. But I've heard good things so I'll give it a spin.

I've watched a lot of 70s cult/trash/whatever you wanna call 'em flicks over the last couple of years and I'm easily pleased with cool characters, violence, car chases etc despite minimal plot. Like I said there relaxing, great fun and a lot more escapist.

Just picked up "The Last Winter"

to be completely honest, it probably one of my favorite action movies from the 80's. its a cheese sandwich with great one liners, and completely over the top, just my kind of thing. i love it.

yeah - i think you should give this one a go ASAP ..

it's probably the most fun film i've seen in years

hmmm..If you didn't like Clive in Sin City....you may not like him in Shoot-Em-Up. Personally I loved him in both.

also.....I like Hell Ride as well.....so you are not alone my friend;)

so is hellride like a mindless action flick, is that why people dislike it?
honestly, thats just what i want, there just aren't enough these days. modern day action movies are either PG-13 Fast and Furious/XXX type, or just take them selfs too seriously.

i havent seen hell ride - but let me say this ..

you can have dumb fun mindless action - done cleverly ..

there's a difference between stupid unimaginative cliches and ones done with some thought to them. i thought Crank was well done mindless action - so was Shoot 'em Up.

its a genre thats been done to death - frankly i got sick of it - so to see some new life breathed into it is refreshing to me ...

we've come too far and thanks to home video - we've become somewhat more sophisticated due to prolongued exposure...

the action film has to be smarter these days.


case in point : The Marine.

acceptable 20 years ago - now it's just a fucking stupid waste of time and an insult to the basest intelligence.

I'm afraid Hell Ride would most likely fall into the "stupid unimaginative cliches" category. A real throwback to the "biker" movies...but more blood and boobs.

that's probably why I liked it:D

Picked up Hard Boiled 2 disc collectors edition and The Warriors

got something cool today :

my wife wanted a GPS .. so this computer clearance place sent me an email a couple of days ago - the Magellan Maestro 4040 (bluetooth - you can talk to it - it announces streets of your next turn, etc ..


referbished units for $99 ($200 off !)

so i bought one - and with the savings bought an external 1 terebyte harddrive (and a firewire card) man what a beauty !

I'm going to be dabbling with some video editing and needed a clean place to do it with a lot of room...

1 terebyte external ... for $180.

I clearly remember paying way over that for a 20 gig drive less than 10 years ago.

wow. i'm jealous.
that's pretty sweet.

This one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091957/ ?

I saw bits and pieces of it when I was younger. One of those dope girl power exploitation flicks. Have to look out for it myself.

hahaha - not that one :)


this one :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494834/


i dont think you'll be seeking this one out :)

i saw a trailer for it and was interested..

midnight movies double feature (i love this series)
- The masque of the red death / the premature burial
- Invasion of the Star Creatures / Invasion of the bee girls

- rhinocerous eyes
- stay hungry

I've got Invasion Of The Bee Girls on tape I really should check it out again. Don't remember much of it except if was great fun. I miss not having the MGM channel I used to grab heaps of cool flicks off it.

VHS:
Night Of The Zombies (Palace Explosive Video)

i think i have it as part of another set - but i really like these midnight movies - and i didnt have the other one..

Hot ex-Playmates covered in beeswax. What's not to love?

- The Big Lebowski (10th Anniversary 2 Disc SE)
- Final Destination "Thrill-ogy"

...and most exciting of all:

- Fox Horror Classics, Vol. 2:

- Chandu the Magician
- Dr. Renault's Secret
- Dragonwyck

I really could care less about Dr. Renault and Chandu - though they both look pretty entertaining - I bought this set entirely because of Dragonwyck. You have no idea how incredibly excited I am to see this movie, hasn't been availible on DVD in North America until like 2 weeks ago.

Supposedly it's one of Price's best performances, so needless to say I can't wait :D :D

I'm huge on that kinda shit. It's a pity we don't get a lot of 'em in the stores over here. It's some classic cinema for sure.

Even Roger Ebert digs it :D must have been before he became a tightass :D

You HAVE seen his movie haven't you? Beyond The Valley of the Dolls was T&A from start to finish.

Bad Lieutenant

went cheap bin diving tonight ..
looks like MGM is putting out some old '80s stuff at budget prices ..

- Bright Lights Big City
- Bad Influence
- Breathless (r. Gere) i was really happy to find this one
- Echo Park
- Alien From LA
- Protector

That any good? I have it - came in a set with Race with the Devil and Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry - but I haven't bothered to watch it. Wasn't as impressed with the original as I thought I would be, so I didnt really fast track the remake - should I?

Yeh? I fuckin' love the original... caught bits and pieces of the remake on TV awhile back but didn't think much of it. Might check it out again myself to see if I dig it more this time around.

havent watched it yet myself - just came home with it when i made the post.

i'd like to get Dirty Mary/Crazy Larry - was it an anchor bay release too ?
