Magazines in waiting rooms. Used to be when I went to the doctor's office there would be a variety of magazines in the waiting room. FIELD AND STREAM, TIME, FAMILY CIRCLE, junk like that. Gone. Just folks all staring at their phones.
I will NEVER own a cell phone.

On the set of the Lugosi film SUCH MEN ARE DANGEROUS (1930)- On January 2, 1930, during aerial filming, a short distance off the Californian coast near Santa Monica, two Stinson Detroiter aircraft employed as camera platforms collided whilst filming the parachute jump scene.

DOCTOR VAMPIRE (1990): A Hong Kong doctor is bitten by a European bloodsucker while on a trip to the UK, and returns home infected with vampirism. A Hong Kong comedy full of goofy comic relief characters who (in my opinion) don't translate to a Western idiom; the final wuxia-style battle scene is fun and energetic, however. For some reason this got a Category III rating---equivalent to a hard "R" or even an NC-17---but there is no nudity, sex, or strong violence, and it would probably be a PG-13 over here. Some people on the Internet appear to be fans of this one, but I don't get it. 2/5.

"Why, oh Christ, must we commit so many crimes to defend your name and extend your reign?" nice


Chupacabra vs La Llorona (2025) - I honestly don't know where to begin. The reviews for this one are VERY mixed. Some of them say this guy is a horror legend in the making, others that it's the silliest thing they've ever seen. Scores range from 5 stars to 1/2 star, with a few in between.

It is definitely different, that's for sure. Initial impression is of an extremely cheap, weird, and minimal Spanish soap opera. The first 20 minutes in particular, absolutely nothing happens. It's just people in a house nervously hiding from something. There is clearly no budget whatsoever. Even the occasional camera effects, mainly slow motion, are so cheap looking that I almost turned it off. It's only 60 minutes long, so that's fully a third of the movie that looks like a bottom the barrel tubi experience a la The Amazing Bulk.

The title indicates a south of the border SYFY adventure but it's nothing of the kind. At some point, a Japanese horror element, albeit an unbelievably cheap looking one, is in injected into the mix and that's when this thing takes off. This aspect is featured heavily in the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoDvcRWpnUQ .

Refreshingly unusual, more than a little ridiculous, and the girls are cute too (I'll go 9, 6, and 5 respectively). Some truly scary moments and just as many "What the Hell am I watching?" ones.

5/5 I clicked on it because I thought the Chupacbra was some sort of evil Mexican bunny. 

edit: review from one of the few youtube comments "He visto cosas malas pero esto es muy 💩💩💩🤐🤐🤐"

( I've seen bad things but this is really...)

yes, ROAR is like a fairly standard movie except all the actors are getting constantly mauled and roughed up by lions throughout, for real. while delivering their lines.

edit, Michael Bay should adopt this approach

Thank you Rev, problem solved.

Not a real movie but a 60s inspired movie poster of ALIEN COVENANT.
