I just watched the trailer. Looks like it could be fun.

I dunno, this was by far the worst movie I've seen this year, and I watch a LOT of SyFy channel movies... even if I lower the bar to where I only compare it against the other SyFy movies I've seen this year, "RoboCroc" was hellishly bad.

It was a "crock" all right! 

My wife and I watched this on Netflix last night. I thought it was pretty decent, I don't think my wife dug it very much (the whole piercings, body-mods, etc. scene freaks her out)...

Katherine isabelle is a cutie. She kinda reminds me of Shannen Doherty in her early 90s prime.

American Mary (2013)

Entertaining, disturbing little sickie about a terminally-broke female medical student (Katherine Isabelle of 'Ginger Snaps') who finds a unique way to make ends meet: doing underground surgeries for people in the 'body modification' community. Naturally, the deeper she goes into that increasingly bizarre world, the weirder things get.

Not a classic for the ages, but a decent watch with some good gore and lots of eye candy courtesy of Isabelle. Think Dee Snider's Strangeland without the Internet angle and a hot chick in place of Dee Snider, and you're sort of in the ballpark.

It is unclear why the film is called American Mary since this film was apparently an all-Canadian production. Maybe 'Canadian Mary' didn't have the right ring to it.

Shadowzone (1990) - some people at a research lab are conducting experiments with sleep - they've got two people in a deep state of sleep and somehow this opens a corridor to another dimension and some sort of shape-shifting monster comes through. It spends the rest of the movie terrorizing them. I watched this before and didn't really think much of it but it seemed a little better last night. The story was a somewhat interesting and I guess it had decent atmosphere. The characters, though they were a little bit developed, all seemed completely disposable and it just didn't generate any scares for me. Decent enough for a 3.5/5 though I guess.

[Where the Boys Are '84]

Where the Boys Are '84 (1984)

Four girlfriends spent ten days at Ft. Lauderdale during Spring Break. They party, they have fun and they are willing to have sex but life can be complicated and love and sex are two different worlds.
Very reserved teen comedy, as in hardly any nudity and sex at all. There is a continuing "let's get crazy & paaarty" vibe throughout, but the movie never goes beyond that. They talk about relationships and doing the right thing and worry if they did the wrong thing. So, in the end this film is a mixed bag of some sorts. Not good enough to be taken seriously, not bad enough to dismiss. There is plenty of 80s cheese so that is better than nothing. 2.75/5

Interesting lists, which I almost entirely can relate to.  Some actors come across like old friends, or old acquaintances you admire but may not like, or... family. 

I'm going to try for 10 more, meaning I'm going to stop and watch if I can and hate it if I can't: 
FREDRIC MARCH 
KIM NOVAK
STEVE McQUEEN

MARCELLO MASTROIANNI

That was easy!

Thing is lately-me sweetie is very young and listens to soul and funk-not new s**t-unless its kinda retro-(dig her 'fro"
-and I still love my punk and funk and jazz and-and-aww-its all good!
 

Sounds like TIANA has great taste.  That is a classic ALICE COOPER. 

I've had this uber cool song going through my head fer days!
The DK's,baby!
In these days of s**t like Miley Vyrus and and Lady Gag Gag-we NEED the Dead Kennedys more than EVER!!!

There is no doubt DEAD KENNEDYS played an important role in the Punk scene.  I wish I had kept my own cool copy of Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables (which had the original backside image of the band that they weren't, slightly altered but with the heads intact - I think they were sued so most vinyl examples have no heads).  There is only so much, however, of the angry childish punks I can take, and sometimes DEAD KENNEDYS bore me.   The video is kind of interesting, as most (or all) of the clips are from TRIUMPH OF THE WILL.  

AHH!
SLAYER!!!!!!

SLAYER is probably the only example of THRASH METAL that I like.  SLAYER is great.  The only raw-egg-gargling vocal I can listen to and enjoy.  Everybody else just copies them.

She's not doing pig latin towards the end-shes just singing it backwards-like the old 80's Satan s**t!
Hail Satan!  

Without a doubt, you are my soul brother.  Or, soulless brother.    In any case, my favorite koo-koo bird.  Of course, that makes me #2...   #2
