Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

I've seen the movie listed as a horror/thriller or erotic horror but really it's just softcore porn. The movie is 60 minutes long and has six sex scenes, one of them feeling like it goes on for ten minutes.
The plot is barely there and calling the characters one-note gives them credit for about half a note too much.
The idea is that three almost completely interchangeable men, and a woman go to a lake where men have been reported missing to film an episode for their show. The show is supposed to be one of those investigate the unknown type things where they look for ghosts and aliens and stuff like that. However, the show is called "Minishirt Adventures" and seems more interested in looking up the female cast members skirt than anything.
Oh, and she does not want to be there. She really really does not want to be there.
Mysterious lady has sex with one of the guys and he dies horribly. They all run, escape back to civilization and keep going on with the show when she appears to the two men seperatly.
There's one scene where the girl cast members is in her underwear singing karaoke in their hotel room, when mysterious woman appears to him and they start making out. When he opens his eyes he realizes that he's actually been making out with his girlfriend and not ghost girl and he freaks out, saying "You're not her!" and bashes her face in before drowning her in a tub.
Then both men go back to the house in the woods, each one has sex with the girl (one at a time mind you) and they die, but only after she reveals she has to drain men's life essence and sperm to live.
It's really not much of a movie. The girl ghost girl herself is really attractive and takes her clothes off alot, but the sex itself really isn't that erotic or anything.

Colin Hanks (Tom's son) directed this documentary about the life and career of the late John Candy, the Canadian comic actor who took Hollywood by storm in the 80s. Clips from his film catalog and commentary from co-stars like Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Macaulay Culkin, and many more paint a portrait of a well loved guy who unfortunately struggled with anxiety off screen. A touching trip down memory lane.

Now that is just crazy talk. Next thing you'll be saying one can have too many Landsknechts.
Have you considered substituting a King Tiger with a M-47 with a Robert Shaw figure in the hatch?

Last post by chainsaw midget - March 02, 2026, 09:48:44 PMMan, that sucks. I LOVE ... pretty much everything he's done. Even when the movie itself wasn't that great, he had charm by the bucket loads to make up for it.
I ever read his book, If Chins Could Kill.
It seems what he has is treatable though, so hopefully he'll be able to bounce back from this.

Last post by M.10rda - March 02, 2026, 08:47:49 PMLA OTRA aka THE OTHER aka THE OTHER ONE (1946):
Yeah, I'm a real healthy, functional guy w/ great judgment, so when I watch a movie that I really dislike (such as THE BOY AND THE FOG) and then realize I've already DL'd another film by the same director, naturally I don't cut my losses and delete the darn thing - instead I immediately double down and watch it. Well, THE OTHER has a better reputation than Roberto Gavaldon's TBATF, and - it is better, though I would classify it as Okay/Fine rather than Outstanding or something. The hand-drawn opening titles appear w/ eerie music and give one the impression they're in for some spooky, cosmic $#!t... though really THE OTHER is just an earthbound suspense-y melodrama w/ light undertones of fate or destiny or whatevs, not unlike a lot of Anglo noirs.
Something else about the opening credits that gave me pause - the name "Delores Del Rio", highly irritating star of THE BOY AND THE FOG. Delores is 7 years younger here, looks pretty good in some snazzy designer outfits, and is much less annoying to endure for the length of a feature. Both her performance and Gavaldon's direction is (like in the later film) sometimes way off the meter into hysterical territory - which, in the case of this material, would probably be okay or even good, as THE OTHER keeps teasing that it will turn into a full-blown psycho-thriller. But, it doesn't, which is ultimately disappointing.
I was with this one for a good bit. Del Rio plays identical sisters - one a recently widowed wealthy dame, the other working class and anti-social though w/ a secret chip on her shoulder. "They" play several early scenes opposite "one another" - usually in cut-aways but in a couple of impressive instances, "both" onscreen in the same shot. I was getting pretty decent DEAD RINGERS vibes for half an hour, and then there's a twist that sends THE OTHER more into the terrain of SUTURE, the exceptional 1993 neo-noir by Scott McGehee and David Siegel. An even better twist about two-thirds of the way through THE OTHER amplifies the SUTURE tingles....... but then THE OTHER just kinda' lets out a blank fart in its final 20-25 minutes.
3/5 Nice German expressionist photography in spots (which seems quite popular w/ Mexican filmmakers of the 30s-50s) and I didn't find it actively objectionable as I did the other Gavaldon flick. But if this is his best movie (as many suggest) and thus the foundation for him being Mexico's finest director....... nah, son.
