aka Charlie Sheen.

A two-part documentary on Charlie Sheen, his career, his exhaustive drug abuse. Pretty decent. Nice seeing home movies he shot in Super 8 cameras back in the 70s and seeing young Charlie, young Emilio, young Sean & Chris Penn, Clooney. Nic Cage and Sheen have seen some things.

Winning.

When I was just a wee little young 'un and my age was still in single digits, I had a yellow plastic cup with a black owl design on it.  It was The Owl Cup.  If I got something to drink, it needed to be in my Owl Cup.  I mom brought me a glass of water at bedtime, it had to be in the Owl Cup.

Then one day, I was practicing for T-ball and we put the ball I was going to swing at on top of the cup... and that was the end of the Owl Cup. 

Just a few days ago, I happened to stumble upon them on e-bay.  A set of 4 for $10. 
And now I have my Owl Cup again.

You don't see any of the Acquanetta "Wild Women" films ever mentioned with the other big name monsters. Not that their all that good, but at least as good as some of the Lon Chaney Mummy movies.

You don't.  She's not even in the set I have.  I'm also just now noticing it's lack of Mole People and This Island Earth.  (I've already mentioned it's lacking in other areas too.)  If I get a chance, I'll try to slip a few of them in at the end.


And for the latest movie ... Dracula's Daughter. 


This movie appeals to me.  Not that the others I've watched don't, but I feel I have more to say about this one because nobody ever talks about it like they do the others. 

In a way this movie could have been so much more, but I like what we did get.  Much like the Bride of Frankenstein, this sequel seems to take place immediately after the first one ends, and involves Von Helsing (it was Van in the first movie.  No idea why the change.) being caught at the scene of the crime with a dead Dracula and a dead Renfield.  John and Mina are curiously absent and never mentioned.  Dracula's daughter Countess Marya (pronounced 'Maria') Zaleska comes to claim and destroy his body hoping that would end her curse.  It doesn't and she tries tog et a psychiatrist to help her break break her vampirism habit.  That sounds like a bad joke but it isn't. 

I have to say, the Countess is quite the character.  While lacking Bela's accent (and sadly he never gets to appear in this movie either), her looks and the way she acts makes one fully believe that she could be his offspring.  She's very high class, while a cold demanding presence and while not the traditional beauty she's by no means unattractive. 

She's also cinemas first self loathing vampire and it's first lesbian vampire.  In all honesty, she should be a lot more popular than she is. And she has a neat little ring that she uses to hypnotize people. 

There's been some debate between viewers as whether or not she really even is a vampire.  They point out she's able to hold a cross and doesn't display any vampire powers on screen.  Personally I don't buy that.  We know she kills people by sucking out their blood and leaving two puncture marks in their neck and it's not like Lugosi showed a lot of powers on screen either. 

Also very notable is her servant Sandor, he's creepy in a way that still holds up wonderfully.  He's like the anti-Renfield.  Calm and collected, carefully well groomed, and continues to push her towards evil when it's obvious she doesn't want to be that way anymore. 

Sadly, the movies heroic leads are lacking.  The main couple tends to come off as unlikable a good hunk of the time and Von Helsing ... he does some pretty stupid stuff.  When they find the body of Dracula, he matter of factually tells them "Yeah, I killed the guy.  He was 500 years old already") and continues to try to explain vampires to people when he should be trying to make it look like he's not a multiple murderer.

Kinda basic. I like the bland actor who just goes by "David," though.

^ the idea was a Jaws/Tremors/Them! rip-off. I wanted a giant mutated mole cricket in the ground surging upwards at an unsuspecting hiker, similar to the Jaws poster, with the shark coming up to attack the swimmer. I believe AI didn't understand because I tried three times. Oh well, this still works, I guess.
