My dear TBL!
You must be psychic!:shocked: We watched THE TERMINATOR last night! What a rush it was seeing this in the theater (30 years this October...geez:shocked:) and still a great film. ****1/2-had the book tie in, but God only knows where it is. |

More of a 70's guy myself...
Gave a spin to HOUSE OF LONG SHADOWS (1984). While really more of a mystery, still has a great cast and fun if nothing else. ***1/2 Maybe I'm stuck in the 80's as well!::big grin:: |
DeepStar Six (1989) Fun movie quite good not nail biting but decent overall

Raid on Entebbe (1976)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...donentebbe.jpg Enjoyable, hostage rescue rope based on an incredible true story - I love Bronson's jewish accent. Would make a great double bill with The Raise and Fall of Idi Amin. |
BASKET CASE (1982). Despite the lower than low budget, find this quite enjoyable with considerable wit and lots of carnage about serious brotherly ties that bind. ***1/2
|
Just watched Englund's 976-Evil (1989). It had its moments but overall my feeling is ::sad::.

Ive just watched
Halloween 3 : Season of the Witch 5/10 Dream Demon 5/10 |
Humanoids From The Deep (1980) 6/10

I do like that one. FINALLY shows what the monsters are really thinking...
Surprised this one has not been remade. |

'The Dark Crystal' (1982)
Plot: On another planet in a distant past a young Gelfling embark on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal, and restore order to his world Phantoms Review; This is the first time I've seen this movie in close to thirty years, and it holds up wonderfully. No CGI here, this is classic filmmaking,meticulously made, good story telling and wonderful performances from the Jim Henson company. A wonderful fantasy for the whole family. |

ALIENS (1986). Still an awesome and incredible roller coaster ride. Have got the special edition with almost 20 extra minutes. *****

Childhood favorite. Always a hoot to watch Louis Gossett Jr as an alien lizard. Made by the Neverending Story guy, and the resemblances between both films in some of the cinematographic shots is uncanny. * * * * |

That would be A Nightmare on Elm Street for me.
God, Nancy is such a major cutie. |
The Martian Chronicles
So funny to see 2000 as the "future". |
Alone In The Dark (1982) Quite good, worth a look.
|
Night of the Lepus
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...ps24se53ob.jpg I actually really liked this. I expected it to be silly but it surprisingly took itself seriously. It wasn't scary because you know Rabbits but it was a lot of fun. I didn't think it was stupid having killer rabbits either. Any wild animal can be viscious. Koalas are adorable but they'll still rip your face off. |
Mausoleum (1983) Pretty good demonic possession film with some good atmospheric scenes, unintentional funny deaths and what I liked most, some full blown demonic transformation. I enjoyed it, it was fun.

------------------------------------ http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Thief_1981.jpg Thief 1981 5/10 I heard the film was really good. It didn't live up to the hype for me. It had a few brief moments of directorial style at the start (with the car). The main character had a bit of depth, but the other characters had about none. Wasn't enough attention paid to Cain's relationship to his new wife, nor his friendship with Belushi. Compared to good heist films out there, Thief's heisting didn't have much intricacy nor thrills. Cain's performance is good, but otherwise the film lacks meaning, fun, thrills, etc. |

Wonderfully bizarre and disturbing film. If it was released 10-15 years earlier, it might have been deemed a classic. As it stands, it's bordering on that. * * * * |

Last house on the left
The original directed by Wes craven is phenomenal, one of the best horror movies from the 70s in my opinion

'Pale Rider' (1985)
-Clint Eastwood Plot: mysterious stranger protects a small prospectors village from a greedy mining company Phantoms Review: I love this film. Eastwood's next to last western and his last turn as a "man with no name". While it's basically a 'Shane' remake, Eastwood makes it his own with his cool, calm and possibly supernatural"Preacher" . Great traditional western action, fine acting and some magnificent cinematography make this one of the last great westerns. |

Raiders Of The Living Dead (1986) 5/10
A newspaper reporter hears of strange goings-on on a remote island. He travels there and finds that a mad scientist lives there and he is creating zombies. |

Sounds like that cannibal film that has no cannibals in it, but zombies instead, the one where that bloke famously mangles that zombies head with a boats motor btw pale rider is lame in the extreme, a boring western that, as I can remember, ripped off his earlier film high plains drifter, which actually was a good film

"No Retreat, No Surrender: Blood Brothers" 8/10
One of my old favorites. Lots of cheese, great fights and an awsome bad guy. "Los Angeles Streetfighter" 2/10 Like the one above this is a cult martial arts movie. But why??? It gets 2 out of 10 for Phillip Rhee and Jun Chong. I'm sure they did a lot of great stuff in this flick. Too bad you couldn't see most of it.. |
 It's still a classic but, in this viewing, I was struck at how rooted in Psycho [1960] Friday the 13th is. It starts giving you hints with a score that openly echoes the shower scene. Midway through there is the slapped hanging light, and throughout there is the giant knife motif. At the end is a clear juxtapositioning of Norman and his mother. In FT13 the "psycho" mom voices her dead son's wishes egging her to more guilt-induced murders (including one by a shower). Even Jason being under the lake mimics Mrs Bates being in the basement "under" the house. Jason's mother resents the love-making counselors & Norman's "mother" resents his sexual attractions; it really does go on. I think it still holds up 34 years later & it's always hilarious to see a young Kevin Bacon. ::cool:: |
Friday The 13th: part 3 to 7
I think my favorite was part 5. With crazy Tommy in the halfway house and an ending that didn't make any sense. The Prowler Started out alright, not really bad but I still got bored pretty fast. |
