Last post by indianasmith - Today at 07:50:45 PM28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE (2025)
This was a brilliant conclusion (?) to the 28 series; it picks up directly after 28 YEARS LATER. A young boy named Spike, rescued from a horde of infected by a brutal gang called "The Jimmies," has to fight for his life to earn his place in their ranks, and then reluctantly gets dragged into their evil mayhem. Meanwhile, the doctor from 28 YEARS LATER is working with an Alpha infected zombie, trying to find a way to still the homicidal rage and recover the person within the monster. an interesting premise with a powerful conclusion! Loved this one 5/5
RESTORATION (1998) - A great historical drama about King Charles II and a young physician named Marivel, who gets caught up in the corruption and decadence of the royal court, only to fall from the King's favor and return to his medical roots just in time for the great plague of 1664. Solid performances all around, and the costumes and sets are absolutely gorgeous! If you like 1600's costume dramas, this is a must watch! 5/5

Deep in the jungles of South America, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his elite commando team are stalked and picked off by an otherworldly big game hunter. This sci-fi/horror/action mix is one of my favorite Arnold flicks, because for just a little while, it looks like he might actually lose. As "Predator" approaches its 40th (!) anniversary, it still holds up pretty well.

Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 03:43:51 PMStraight To VHS (2021) - This isn't a documentary about straight to video horror and action movies from the 80's, so stop salivating. It's about ONE movie in particular that's from Uruguay, so you probably haven't seen it. It's a thing where they try and find the guy and talk about how the movie affected people who watched it and they eventually meet some people who knew him. He told one guy that a man doesn't understand life unless he goes to bed with two women every night or something like that, so you know he was kind of on one/ a wacky creative type.
There's some sort of odd attempts at avant gard ness towards the end, but it mostly just makes you want to see this movie, which I am halfway through right now. It's called "Act of Violence in a Young Journalist" and so far is fairly enjoyable, but I have no other Uruguayan movies to compare it to, so not sure why it was so influential.
3/5

If we're gonna sneak out and paint the town red we're gonna have to find some other outfits so people won't recognize us.
I dunno. Should we invite that Prevost guy to come with us and dress in business casual?

dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear. a slasher that looks and feels like it was made by a bunch of people whose only frame of reference is AI generated Youtube shorts about makeup, SEX & THE CITY, and pop rap videos of the 2020s. not 'badly made', but tonally just abysmal from every angle. left a bad taste in my brain. that's the real horror. they got my money. they win. they win.

Last post by M.10rda - Today at 02:41:35 PMHaving now seen a handfiul of Pasolinis, I must lean uncomfortably towards the position that SALO is the best of those. It was the first Pasolini I saw and @ the time I thought it was the most horrible thing ever. Honestly it's pretty well-written, acted, and directed, and it makes a cogent statement, even if I need never watch the torture scenes again. The second was PORCILE, which is interesting though it doesn't add up to much. TEOREMA is like PORCILE but worse, I think - interesting ideas that are waaay underbaked. Then I've seen a couple that are as bad as DECAMERON. I will probably keep trying now and then to find one I can admire more than SALO....... which, you know, is a film to be justly rejected and abhorred, not admired!
