Last post by Trevor - Today at 10:19:21 PMA South African one for you: BEYOND THE LIGHT BARRIER (2023), a docco concerning the South African woman Elizabeth Klarer who claimed to have not only witnessed a UFO visiting South Africa on numerous occasions but also to have had a physical relationship with one of the people from out there.
She also claims to have fallen pregnant by Captain Jerk 😳😏😉

2019: After the Fall of New York(1983)
https://youtu.be/X4-vUA3wbow?si=SrXHfOcxF7Oo3LxM
It opens with some annoying midi/synth music that we're supposed to believe some guy on the street is playing with a trumpet..... A narrator explains how people have gone sterile following World War 3, & the predominant government experiments on the survivors....
Some soldiers dressed in black on horseback meet up with some gangsters in a New York street, & set about raiding a building to kill a bunch of people with nasty complexions...
Then we cut to a desert, where a couple of cars are in a game of trying to kill each other while punk rockers cheer them on... The winner is our protagonist, & the prize is a male transvestite.... The hero sets him/her free, then gets abducted by a pair of guys in white uniforms...
He's taken to Alaska, where a group of rebels have set up shop.... He's told there's one fertile woman left on Earth, & they want him to go get her with the help of a strongman & a guy who's mind is a map of Brooklyn (even though his name is Bronx, which is on the other side of the river).... They get into New York, but need to run through rat infested sewers to avoid gangs & soldiers, but ultimately get caught.... They escape, & end up getting help from a midget & an ape man......
The midi/synth scores in these Italian Maxploitation always gives me a headache.... Still, the the movie is pretty fast paced & enjoyable....

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 07:28:44 PMFOOL'S LUCK (1926):
Roscoe Arbuckle wrote and directed this short and brings a good dose of his maniacal sensibility to it, but he's a bit restricted by his underwhelming/milquetoast lead actor, the bizarrely named "Lupino Lane". Lane plays an indolent rich guy - a popular character type in early 20th century films and also one of my least favorite kinds of characters.
He's oh so charming to his pretty girlfriend, but then right before he's supposed to meet her even-wealthier father for the first time, Lane learns that he's cut off from the family fortune. Somehow he ends up riding his grand piano out a high-rise city window (Harold Lloyd-style) and then moments later his car gets hit (destroyed!) by a train and then in the final moments he cleverly strikes gold again. FOOL'S LUCK is only 15 minutes - it feels longer, but Roscoe keeps things moving along at as painless a clip as possible. The stunts are typically insane - I'm pretty sure Lane is really several stories up above a city street in a few shots. Perhaps if he's perished we'd remember him better! 3/5

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 06:10:31 PMI didn't even realize there were more than 6 HOWLINGS!
Perhaps AMITYVILLE is the winner. Most of those 25 AMITYVILLEs came out just in the past decade, I think!
In service of nothing, SAW! THE MUSICAL just played for five weeks in Buffalo. It's been touring around the country, apparently. It did great business. They rented one of the theaters I work with and the admin (in spite of making money) found it all rather distasteful. There were walk-outs, and there were lots of patrons who don't appear to be the usual theatergoers and mightn't return in the future. Handfuls of that latter lot were drunk before and or during the show and at least one had to be removed by the Production Manager. Madame wanted to go see it and somehow we never made time. The informed word of mouth was just... discouraging, I guess. Maybe a live musical version spells doom for the franchise?

Last post by FatFreddysCat - Today at 04:24:31 PM"The Last Blockbuster" (2020)
A fun documentary that details the rise and fall of Blockbuster Video, whose wheels fell completely off at the dawn of the streaming age. While all of the corporate owned stores closed, a few family-owned franchise stores managed to hold on for a while longer. Now there's only one left, in Bend, Oregon, which keeps the Blockbuster flame burning not just as a video rental store, but as a tourist attraction too.
