"Soul To Keep" (2018)
A gang of annoying twenty-somethings are having a party weekend at a remote farm house. They make the mistake of messing with an old spell book they find in the cellar, and naturally things go downhill from there.
Barely watchable demonic-possession nonsense that you've seen a thousand times in a thousand other, better movies.
AVOID.

BLOODY BLOODY BIBLE CAMP - I saw this as a freebie on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a watch.  It checks all the bad movie boxes with a large dose of deliberate offensiveness thrown in (Ron Jeremy as Jesus?  Really?)

Hey at least they had him being played by a Jewish actor. How many times does that happen?  I mostly remember him being played by Jeffrey hunter and max von sydow, neither of which looked very jewish.

THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974)

Two siblings and three of their friends en route to visit their grandfather's grave in Texas end up falling victim to a family of cannibalistic psychopaths And must survive the terrors of leatherface and his family.

As a horror fan I was quite embarrassed of not having watched this one, so I gave it a moment of my time this weekend. Damn, it's so well done. It's amazing how good it looks, if it weren't for the silly hairtcuts and clothing it would've passed as a new movie, except for the fact that this one is actually great. Not to mention, the crappy budget they had at their disposal. Nowadays the have loads of cash and yet they go straight for the awful CGI.
Funny how Leatherface isn't even the main villain, but rather part of a whole family. The grandpa sucking the girl's finger was far more disturbing for me. I actually thought he was a corpse, then when he started moving I was like .

Amazing classic, totally recommended. 5/5

"The Package" (2018)
Disaster strikes five teens on a camping/drinking weekend when one of the group accidentally cuts his (ahem) thang off while playing with a knife. Once he's been Medivac'd away, his friends then have twelve hours to find their pal's missing member and get it to the hospital so it can be re-attached. Obviously, they will encounter a series of wacky obstacles and have various misadventures along the way.

...soooooo yeah, basically this ultra-raunchy teen comedy is a 90 minute series of dick jokes.

I rolled my eyes at my 16 year old son when he recommended this Netflix original to me after seeing it at a friend's house ("Oh my GOD, Dad, you GOTTA see this movie, it's SOOOOO funny!"), and yes, it was gross, tasteless, and dumb as a box of rocks... but dammit, I can't lie, I laughed out loud quite a few times. This is the kind of movie that's best enjoyed with a few beers and with your brain turned off.

"Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil" (2011)
A pair of hillbilly buddies take a weekend trip to their remote mountain fishing cabin, which soongoes horribly wrong after an encounter with some college kids who've seen too many horror movies. Mayhem ensues.
A very funny, very gory spoof that takes every cliche' of the "backwoods horror" genre and turns them all upside down. Tons of silly fun.

When I saw the title, I thought you meant this



Then I realized it can't be that film because no one loses their thang in that.

^^ Haha, I've seen that "The Package" too! I even mentioned it to my son while we were watching this one. I was like 'This is a looooong way from Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones." :D

I nearly bit through my tongue with that ending.

RIFFTRAX: OMEGA COP: Incredibly cheap "post-apocalyptic" adventure (set in 1990 on deserted streets to simulate the apocalypse) about a crotch-kicking "Omega" cop who collects a trio of wasteland babes while fighting slavers. The guys have a lot of fun with it. 3/5.

"Vendetta" (1986)
After her sister is murdered in a corrupt womens' prison, a movie stuntwoman gets herself sentenced to the same institution so she can get revenge on the gang who killed her. Yep, that's the whole plot.
This very silly, so '80s it hurts women-in-prison flick is pretty typical for the genre, in that there's plenty of nudity (of course), comical fight scenes, and all-around horrendous acting. Entertaining enough if you've had a few beers.

SPIDERMAN: FAR FROM HOME   (2019)

    After the death of many of the original Avengers in ENDGAME, Peter Parker (Tom Holland), returned from "the Snap", finishes high school and gets ready to head to Europe for his senior trip, wondering if he will find the opportunity and intestinal fortitude to profess his affection to MJ.  But while he is in Venice, the city is attacked by a huge elemental water creature, which is fought off and destroyed by a strange costumed figure the media dubs "Mysterio." (Jake Gyllenhall).  Mysterio enlists Spiderman to help him fight off the next Elemental, who is scheduled to attack Prague.
Full of humor, drama, great effects, and solid performances, this is the best SPIDERMAN since Spidey faced off against Doc Ock in SPIDERMAN 2.  Holland has really stepped up and owned the role that I thought Toby McGuire would own in my mind forever.  Be sure to stick around for the post-credit scene!
5/5

HOLY TRINITY: A dominatrix finds she's able to speak to the dead after huffing cans of new age air freshener, but her newfound viral celebrity threatens her relationship with her submissive partner. With the whole cast dressed in over-the-top homemade glam costumes and heavy dosses of weird sex, drug abuse and sacrilege, this is sort of like John Waters done by artfags (in the most complimentary sense of the term). Seldom a dull moment. 2.5/5

My Winnipeg (2007) - This is the second documentary about Winnipeg I've seen after "Death By Popcorn: the tragedy of the Winnipeg Jets"

It's an artsy autobiographical documentary but still a documentary I guess. Winnipeg is extremely cold and snowy this point is effectively conveyed. Its generally his angst and so forth abuot his upbringing colored with historical tidbits about the place. They have (or had) a building that had 3 floors with a pool on each floor. Isn't that interesting?

ann Savage from Detour (1945) of all people plays his mom in a 4th wall sort of thing. Its a Rev Powell sort of movie but pretty well made and likeable.

4/5
