ANGEL HEART (1987):  Detective Angel (Mickey Rourke) is hired by a mysterious, sartorial client (Robert De Niro) to track down a missing man, and the search leads him to new Orleans and a voodoo cult. Supernatural film noir with a very chilling twist, if you don't guess it early on...
I hate that movie. 

I watched FRIDAY THE 13TH Pt 3 DREAM WARRIORS on IFC last night.  Of course, I'd seen it.  I hate Freddy.  But, I enjoyed it.

Rush Week (1989) - Yet another painfully unfunny slasher/comedy, this one plays out like a third rate Animal House knock off.  The two main characters are dull and duller.  A real chore to sit through, in fact, I turned it off with probably a half hour left.  I started out thinking that there were all these wonderful slashers from the '80s, just waiting to be discovered.  Now I'm finding out there's an extremely good reason why they're so well and truly forgotten.  Most of them really suck.

the snorkel-  hammer rarity shown on tcm.  if you like early 60's black and white horror/ thriller type stuff this is definately worth a look.  likeable characters and a simple but good story.  They tell us right away who is guilty but it's a matter of proving it and the games back and forth between the one who knows and the guy.  one of those.


midnight blue- porn stars of the 70's.  -  the ultimate sleazy 70's artifact.  interviews with seka, bambi woods from debbie does dallas and others as well as disco fueled strip routines and ads for various gross looking brothels and swingers clubs in NYC.  netflix has it.  highly recommended

The Dark Power - some totally unlikable, and totally undeveloped characters move into a house.  They argue a lot.  Lash Larue drones out a load of exposition.  Eventually the Toltec warrior comedy troupe shows up and kills a few of the arguing people.  Unfortunately a couple of them survived, I was kind of hoping for a clean sweep.  Lash cracks his bullwhip about 150 times and the thing thankfully comes to an end.  One girls walks around in her panties for a couple of short scenes, that's about all this movie has going for it.  2/5.

ONE FLASE MOVE (1991): As two psychotic murderers and their sexy bi-racial moll make their way across Texas towards Star City, Arkansas, the enthusiastic but inexperienced police chief prepares eagerly for the arrival of the big-time crooks.  Well-scripted and executed thriller/drama with a twist on the stock character of the hick sheriff and a surprisingly emotional climax. 4/5.

Pumpkin Karver (2006) - a guy has psychological problems due to killing a guy who was attacking his sister, but it turned out to be her boyfriend pulling a prank.  Anyhow, a year later and sis takes him to a Halloween party out in the desert.  The guy keeps having hallucinations that his sister's ex-boyfriend is still alive.  People start turning up dead.  Is the kid a psycho killer?  Or maybe it's the creepy old man?  This had some pretty good characters, one especially, the girl that the guy's sister fixed him up with.  She's so sweet and cute that any guy watching this will have an immediate crush on her.  The screenplay was pretty dodgy, it seemed the writer couldn't really integrate the whole "Pumpkin Karver" thing into this Halloween party slasher, and it's just clumsy and doesn't really make any sense.  Still, a fairly enjoyable waste of a couple hours.  3/5.

Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer

I was very bored yesterday, found myself sitting through this utter piece of garbage that makes a total mockery out of some of the best Marvel characters. What the hell is up with Dr. Doom - he's a total wimp, his voice hasn't even broken! ...AND - he steals the Silver Surfer's board, why!? Stoopid! Oh, and the Silver Surfer is rubbish, here's hoping that his own spin-off film is better, as he is the only Marvel character I can tolerate in CGI. As for the rest of the film, the CGI is bad (I hate CGI!) and wow, Jessica Alba looked dog-rough  Buggedout  0/5  Thumbdown

Harvesters (2001) - A gang of murdering thieves is on the run from the cops, and they invade a home because they need a place to hide out for the night.  However, the people who live there make their money by killing people and selling their organs on the black market.  A very low budget production - everyone involved has a regular day job and just worked on the movie in their spare time.  They did a marvelously good job considering that.  Camera work, lighting and sound was all quite good.  Acting ranged from fair to poor.  The movie even had a musical score, throughout the whole thing!  However, it had one huge problem:  the "hero" character was the most unlikable person in the whole movie.  What can you say about a movie where there's some woman you're hoping will die, but instead she's like Rambo and kills all the other characters?  2/5. 

Countess Dracula (1971) - An aging countess discovers that by bathing in the blood of young virgins, she may regain her youth.  She has a lover who's her own age, but of course once she discovers the secret to youth, she takes on a younger lover.  A love triangle develops.  The youth-giving effects don't last long however, requiring a constant stream of young virgins to be killed and drained.  The way that the nobility is completely unconcerned with the fate of these commoners almost adds a low key dark humor aspect to the movie.   The sets are lavish and spectacular, and being a Hammer film, the acting and everything else is top notch.  Unfortunately it's a slow moving movie - there's really no horror aspect to it, and as a love triangle story, well, you pretty much know it's going to end badly, so it didn't keep me interested in that way either.  Still, the very original characters kept it fairly interesting.

the gay deceivers (1968) -  Heres a ridiculous and, yes, campy comedy about two guys who pretend they are gay to get out of going to vietnam.  to keep up the charade they move into a gay neighborhood.  your suspension of disbelief would have gone off even before then but you have to realize people were not too picky about this stuff until fairly recently.  I mean,  look at Knight rider, a talking intelligent car.  that's ridiculous if they had that kind of technology they could take over the world or cure cancer but we go along with it because we want to see the movie.   It's over the top and resembles a broadway play a la  Joan Crawfords "strait jacket" thuogh no one here is quite up to that level of sheer muscular melodrama.  Visually it lis like an episode of the psychedelic late era "bewitched".  not great, but entertaining.

WAXWORK (1988): An evil waxwork proprietor uses his occult powers to send teenagers into a lame nightmare worlds inhabited by famous film monsters, which will somehow enable him to take over the world. Competent production values and a tiny bit of humor can't save the tepid teen terror tableaux.  There were a few cool scenes, like the final brawl where the famous wax monsters of filmland come to life, and some eye rolling plot exposition to provide unintentional humor, but I kept checking my watch and thinking I'd rather be watching a rerun of Scrubs.  I know this film has its defenders but I really don't think it's that great.  2/5.

Freaks- Tod Browning's 1932 classic about a circus and the sideshow performers that work the 'freak show.'  Classic tale of love gone wrong and revenge served sweet.  Notable for starring actual sideshow performers in their respective roles.  Definitely worth a watch, and judging by the people on this board, most have probably seen it by now. 3 Stars. TeddyR

Rocky Horror Picture Show- Classic musical/horror/comedy film from '75 starring Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon and the perfectly cast Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-n-furter.  Tim Curry basically made this worth watching, but I've seen it so many times it doesn't matter what I'm doing, I'll still sit and watch.

BEDLAM (1946): A tender-hearted secretary and a bribe-refusing Quaker unwisely make enemies of the sadistic and unscrupolous warden (Boris Karloff) of London's notorious 18th century asylum, Bedlam.  Good hearted if a bit preachy historical drama, but Karloff is always fun to watch and cuts through the treacle whenever he's onscreen. 3/5.

THE HAUNTED PALACE (1963): When the great-grandson of a warlock (Vincent Price, in both roles) inherits a crumbling palace in Arkham, Massachusetts, bad things are sure to follow for local villagers whose ancestors burnt the magician at the stake.  A fun, eerie and artificial atmosphere and a good performance by Price, but like most Roger Corman-directed products of the era it has poor effects and drags at times. From a story by H.P. Lovecraft.  3/5.

Death Wish ** 1/2 out of ****

I didn't think it was that bad of a film, but I though it could have been slightly longer overall and went more in depth with Paul's character overall and his idea to shoot muggers.
