Enjoyably silly Spanish/Italian James Bond knock-off starring American bit player Anthony Eisley (of TV's "Perry Mason" and "Hawaiian Eye") as a secret agent assigned to investigate rocket sabotage around Cape Kennedy. One of the better 007 wanna-bee's of the era, does a nice job of copping the Bond vibe in spite of its cheese-and-crackers budget.

The Monster Maker(1944)
https://youtu.be/XdOG3mZKfi0?si=VXYUs4fKd3UkSktg
A pianist is giving a concert while his manager & his daughter watch.... His daughter notices some creep in the next skybox glaring at her.... During an intermission, he visits them backstage with a fake apology, & says she looks like his dead wife...
The creep starts sending the girl flowers & creepy love letters, so the pianist decides to confront him.....
Turns out, the creep is a doctor looking for a cure for Acromegaly.... He's got a really cool chemistry set & a gorilla in a cage..... When the pianist shows up, an argument ensues, & the creep clocks him & shoots him up with a drug that induces the disease... The creeps assistant reveals (to the audience) just how twisted he is...
Afterwards, the pianist becomes a real machine, practicing morning, noon & night, until his hands swell up & he can't play.... Meanwhile, the creep has found a cure, which he plans to use as a bargaining chip for the daughter...
Has some slow parts in the second half, but is watchable for the most part.....

Last post by chainsaw midget - June 06, 2026, 07:30:57 PMDoom Asylum (1988)
Doom Asylum is a perfect middle of the road slasher movie. Just enough good elements to stop it from being a waste of time, but not enough to propel it into the "good" category.
If I want to be generous, it'd a 6 out of 10 at best.
The movie barely has a plot. Isn't too big on the scare or threatening atmosphere, but it's not a total wash.
SOme years back, a yuppie lawyer guy and his girlfriend are in a car accident. She dies and he is assumed dead, so they take him away to an asylum to be dissected (or something. It's never realy clear about this.) Turns out, he's not dead. He wakes up, kills he guys in labcoats, and the story jumps ahead some years.
Another weird note here. His face is only slightly damaged after the accident, but when he wakes back up on the table it's like Freddy Kruegar and the Phantom of the Opera had a kid. Again, no explanation.
So, there are two groups of ... kids (?). One is a three girl punk rock band in scantily clad clothes. They hang out at the now abandoned asylum to play their music.
The other group is more the yuppie type. They decide to go hang out at the abandoned asylum where the story goes that a mad went mad and killed some people some years back. Two of the girls spend most of the movie in their swimsuits.
The two groups clash, and the mutilated face guy starts killing them.
Other than the opening, the entire movie takes place in one afternoon, in what feels like just a couple of hours. There's no night scenes. It's shot in an actual abandoned building which gives the location a lot of flavor and style it wouldn't have otherwise had.
I've seen places online list this as a horror comedy and I just don't get that. It never feels comedic. It doesn't seem to always take it's self seriously and has some weird chaoices and characters, but I don't get comedy from that.

Last post by Alex - June 06, 2026, 02:08:27 PMMy restful day was interrupted by one of the cats managing to get herself stuck on the roof of the garage. She was not happy about it, but every time I tried to rescue her, she ran off.
Eventually, she did make her own way down.

Off Topic Discussion / Re: Rank the seasons
Last post by claws - June 06, 2026, 01:05:39 PMQuote from: AlbertMond on June 05, 2026, 11:48:18 PMI remember that. I got the worst "update" ever when I decided to go for a walk on a September day some years ago and it turned out it was 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I didn't even bother checking beforehand, it didn't used to be like that!
While we still had warm, sunny days in September, the true heat of summer had clearly faded. Our local swimming pool used to run strictly from May 15th to September 15th, but that schedule has shifted over the years. To keep up with the warmer climate, the pool now stays open through late September or early October and kicks off the season in April.
