Last post by chainsaw midget - July 06, 2026, 07:26:29 PMThe Dark Power (1985)
This is one worth seeing. It's all over the place in tone and even in the set-up. At the start it feels like they might be setting this up as a slasher, but the undead that show up never really feel slasher-like. If anything, I would compare it to Neon Maniacs and I didn't think I'd ever have anything to compare to that movie.
The plot uses the old "ancient Indian burial ground" but the monsters when they appear are so far away from anything feeling "Indian" like that only the most sensitive of people looking to be offended would find anything wrong.
A group of four good looking college girls, one of them black, one of them extremely racist, move into a house that was built on the previously mentioned Indian burial ground. The racist girl invited her dickweed brother and his annoying friends to annoy the others when she finds out that she has to live with a black person.
Then the dead rise because it's that time of year when the dead rise and because somebody removed the protective objects that were stopping that from happening. There's an odd humor and silly slapstick even while they're killing people that feels out of place. There's also one great kill where they grab a guy's mouth and stretch it open peeling his face away.
And in the end the day is saved by ... an elderly Lash LaRue. if you don't know who that is, he was a cowboy actor in the 40s and 50s famous for using a bullwhip instead of guns, dressing all in black despite being a good guy, and looking a lot like Bogart. He even gets into a whip fight with one of the undead. Which is honestly, kinda dull.

Good Movies / Re: Eric Roberts: Lazy actor
Last post by FatFreddysCat - July 06, 2026, 06:35:41 PMHe's become the go-to guy for The Asylum and David Decoteau. Need a name actor for a two-minute cameo so you can give him top billing on the poster/video cover? He's your man.

Last post by FatFreddysCat - July 06, 2026, 06:34:06 PMI think the only Uwe Boll movie I've ever seen was "Alone in the Dark," which was more than enough.

One fine summer day in 1986, a teenage film buff finally musters up the courage to ask his dream girl out on a date to the movies. However, a series of mishaps throughout the day threatens to derail his big moment before it even starts.
Kevin "Clerks" Smith's warm & fuzzy period piece based on his own teenage experiences growing up in the Jersey burbs is less raunchy than his usual work, and the young cast does a fine job portraying 80s kids. Not a top drawer Kev movie, but worth seeing if you came of age during the time period (as I did).

8.) DAVID AND GOLIATH (1960)
Which takes place circa 1100bc so around the time of SAMSON AND DELILAH but later than 1200 anyway. If you think it's disqualified that's okay. This is a tough one.
According to this you're totally fine:
We're in a Biblical groove, which makes dating relatively easy. (That's also what the Baptists say.)

Off Topic Discussion / Re: World Cup?
Last post by Alex - July 06, 2026, 03:56:14 PMI heard UEFA (the European football association) has made a statement in support of Belgium. I would imagine that they are one of the more powerful groups under the FIFA umbrella (but I could be entirely wrong there, that is just my guess).
