"The Expendables 3" (2014)
The Expendables 3 Official Final Trailer


Stallone and his squadron of geriatric action movie bad-asses are back for a 3rd go-round. This time Sly disbands his "old" crew after a disastrous mission and hires a new team of much younger mercenaries to help him go after an old enemy. As usual, lotsa bullets fly and tons o'stuff blows up. Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Wesley "Blade" Snipes and even Kelsey Grammer (!) join the fun this time out. Disposable, but enjoyable, old school action junk.

METROPOLIS (1927): Workers of the futuristic city of Metropolis revolt, led by a robot who has been substituted for a kidnapped prophet. Aside from the astounding art deco/Expressionist visuals which still amaze audiences to this day, this silent classic has a true mythic feel to it that can never be quite recaptured by a modern sound film. Utterly essential for anyone who loves movies. 5/5.

I Hate You (2004) - this old guy goes around killing people, and he also does a standup comedy routine where he talks about killing people, which doesn't get too many laughs.  That's the whole movie - no plot and it doesn't say anything about anything, other than that this guy is obsessed with the fame achieved by Jack the Ripper.  1.5/5.

NINJA DEATH 3 (1987): Our hero Tiger finally tries his kung fu out against the Demon Mask ninja and the evil Master in the gold lamé hoodie. A bit of a bounce back from the second installment of this badly paced and edited trilogy, with a compact ten minutes of flashbacks and the most elaborate fight scenes of the series. 3/5.

Kebab Connection (2005) - decent commercial comedy movie from Germany. There are more than enough and funnier American comedies but if you feel like watching one made in a different country you should feel free. free trade all the way.

A Turkish kid with a German girlfriend makes a commercial for his uncles Kebab place that becomes a hit somehow. Its a stupid ad with some modern kung fu  effects and this is supposed to be hilarious and impressive. The rest of the movie is him coming to terms with his impending fatherhood. My favorite character was the sexy daughter of the owner of the Greek restaurant across the street, which is the major competitor of the Kebob place. You learn a little, I guess, about the social mores of Turkish people in Germany and what's going on with all that.

All in all it was about as good as a PG rated foreign comedy is going to get which is to say not that great.

3/5

GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM (2014): Under Rabbinical law, Israeli women can only get a divorce if the husband consents; this story follows a woman who fights in the courts for years against a stubborn husband who won't agree to grant her her freedom. Wrings maximum drama out of a chauvinist law that is admittedly tailor-made for outrage; an actor's showcase, fans of teary courtroom outbursts and passionate oratories will love it. 3.5/5.

CRIES AND WHISPERS (1972): A woman lies dying of cancer, moaning in pain, and the unhappy stories of her and her two emotionally stunted sisters are told in a series of flashbacks. Impressive, obviously, but dry; if life were really like an Ingmar Bergman movie, death would indeed be a relief. 4/5.

"Creature" (1985)
Creature Trailer 1985 Small | Large


Space explorers awaken a carnivorous something-or-other on one of Saturn's moons, and naturally it turns out badly for everyone involved in this enjoyably sleazy, gory low-budget "Alien" wanna-be.

The Killings at Outpost Zeta (1980) - watched this again.  Some people are sent to outpost Zeta (where the three previous groups of people were never heard from again) and encounter rock monsters intent on getting rid of this group as well.  Sedately paced, low budget, but I thought it had a real retro charm.  Characters weren't as bad as in a lot of cheap movies.  3.5/5.

Pillow of Death (1945) -oddly titled entry in Lon Chaney's Inner Sanctum Mysteries series. It's a little over an hour long.

A guys wife is killed and the mystery is who did it? The main suspects are him and the spiritualist guy his wife always had over to do fake o seances. There are a bunch of other suspects too like the guys side piece secretary's absurd neighbor who is constantly spying on her because he cares so much.

This isn't on the level of Twilight Zone or something but it's well ahead of, say, Scooby Doo as far as having an unpredictable compelling mystery. It comes on a disk with 2 others I haven't watched yet.

The Frozen Ghost (1945) - Another Inner Sanctum Mystery. This time Chaney is a mentalist who accidentally gives an a***ole audience member a heart attack then is for some reason hanging out at a wax museum where weird stuff happens. I liked the wax museum doctor guy and the demure assistant as well as the agent guy who hung around so some good characters. The one lady who was in both episodes has that 40's style huge weird hair and it's not good. This one wasn't as suspenseful as the other one but it made up for it in wax museum atmosphere. I'll say 3.5 /5

Strange Confession - This was the last one of the Inner Sanctum 2nd DVD. No ghosts here, just a thriller but a decent one. A scientist is fired and blacklisted by his evil boss, who is like something out of Karl Marx. He's a brilliant scientist but in order to do this he must work with horrible people like his boss that's the tension. Except why would his bosses competition not want to hire him? Not a very good understanding of business dynamics by Lon Chaney and co. Also his wife might be having an affair. It's kind of like a tamer version of a Michael Douglas movie. All of these films were solid but could have used a little pizzaz and exploitative elements but this is the 1940's here. I enjoyed them this one I'll give a 3.75 /5

Night Train to Terror (1985): Strange anthology style movie in which God and Satan are riding on a train and arguing over the fate of three different souls as we hear their strange stories unfold. The first story about Harry Billings is a nonsensical tale of a man getting abducted by doctors in a mental hospital and drugged and forced into kidnapping women to bring back for an undercover organ harvesting operation.  The second story about Greta Connors involves her getting whisked away from carnival life to become a porn star and then she and her new lover get mixed up in suicide games in a bizarre death club. The third story about Claire Hansen is about a woman trying to stop a man named Olivier, who never ages and dies who may in fact be a demon trying to set into motion doom for whoever comes into contact with him. Also throughout this movie is an 80s style band performing what seems like a music video with their feature song "Everybody but you" which is very corny but also very 80s.

This shlock-sleazefest is basically three unfinished films thrown together to make a nonsensical 1980s anthology film. Richard Moll is very notable in his roles here as a crazed killer named Otto in the Harry Billings story and later as Robert Hansen, the husband of Claire Hansen who's written an arguably blasphemous book. Also on hand is Cameron Mitchell in a memorable bit part. The first story is atrocious and completely nonsensical but very over the top when it comes to slasher style gore as Otto tries to cut and saw up his victims alive when not groping and caressing nude kidnap victims. The second story has slightly more clever death sequences but is also pretty atrocious in many ways as it seems poorly edited and the story feels unfinished. The final story is the best as the villain Olivier as played by Robert Bristol has a certain screen presence and gives a good performance. The stop motion FX are pretty cheesy but honestly I did enjoy them, this story feels like it would make a sub-par double feature with Equinox. This story was taken from the 1980 film Cataclysm. This poorly edited atrociously bad, poorly edited and thrown together 1980s horror anthology film should probably be considered some type of cult bad movie classic so it might actually appeal to some folks here. But be warned, this is Grade-Z sleaze at its worst or finest depending on your point of view.  *** out of ***** stars (on a bad movie scale, regular scale it would probably be a *).

Snowbeast (1977): What I said about this in the past, re-watched it again.
Quote
During their annual Winter carnival event, a Colorado ski resort is terrorized by an angry and hungry mutant Bigfoot type creature who seems to have developed a taste for human flesh. However, town officials and those behind the carnival want to keep things quiet so as to not interfere with the success of the 50th annual Winter carnival.

This TV Movie feels pretty much like a Jaws rip-off only with a Bigfoot hunting skiers in the woods instead of swimmers in the sea (really it appears to have been written before Jaws but may have been changed to play more like it after the success of that film). It actually does build some decent suspense and has some pretty good scares for a TV horror film. I liked that they keep the monster hidden for a lot of the film, only seeing bits and pieces of it as when we finally do see it, it doesn't quite live up to one's imagination (they probably should have kept it even more hidden in fact). It was actually written by the one and only Joseph Stefano (of Outer Limits and Psycho fame) back in 1967 following the footage from Roger Patterson. Bo Svenson, Yvette Mimieux, and Robert Logan star as former members of a love triangle with the side story focusing on Svenson's character, a former Olympic gold medalist skier named Gar Seberg trying to move past his former fame and start a new life working at the ski resort, Mimieux plays his wife who happens to be a reporter who coincidentally enough formerly did a story about Bigfoot, while Logan plays Tony Rill, grandson of the owner of the ski resort who's set to inherit it all. The Bigfoot stuff ultimately proves more interesting and feels a bit gorier than I expected for a TV movie, the rest is kind of a drag. I did like some of the scenes with the creature stalking its prey through the woods which felt kind of creepy and atmospheric. A mixed bag this one so I'll give it *** out of ***** stars.

Moon of the Wolf (1972): Re-watched this yet again, it is pretty slow-moving, my thoughts on it haven't really changed.
Quote
Louisiana Sheriff Aaron Whitaker (David Janssen) while investigating a series of brutal and vicious murders begin to suspect something supernatural at work, possibly a werewolf.

While this has some problems (it's too slow-moving, too darkly lit in some scenes, makeup disappoints), I rather enjoy this horror/murder mystery from 1970s television. It's not unlike many horror TV series from this period and features some great character actors notably Bradford Dillman, John Beradino, Royal Dano, and Geoffrey Lewis. There's some good suspense scenes and tension is slowly built throughout the film, perhaps much too slowly for some. Me, I still like this one. ***1/2 out of ***** stars.

The Devil's Nightmare (1971): Seven tourists find themselves pursued by a relentless succubus (Erika Blanc) who's determined to kill them all and punish them, each representing one of the seven deadly sins. All this takes place in a mysterious, spooky castle which is said to be cursed.

This movie which is in some ways sleazy Euroshlock cheesecake (several nude/promoscious scenes including lesbian scenes) proves surprisingly atmospheric and creepy with some gruesome death scenes and some memorable old dark house/castle style characters. Slightly better than I expected, the creepy stagecoach driver brought to mind Nosferatu in some scenes. ***1/2 out of ***** stars.

Battlespace (2006) - in the future...there's lots of very low budget spaceship battles! Some evil empire is destroying the planets that the other people live on, so some halfway decent looking woman in somewhat sexy battle gear has to make a long trek across a desert in hopes of destroying one the the evil folk's planet smashers before it launches. Then the last half hour is like some totally different movie (there's lots of voice-overs explaining all this plot stuff that they're not showing us) that's like some Dr. Who episode or something. Overall it was pretty cheesy and got a little slow moving at times, but at least it was different I guess. 3/5.

Pacific Rim (2013) - some monsters that escaped from a Godzilla movie are attacking earth, so the humans build huge robots to fight them. I dunno, I liked Battleship and I love those GI Joe movies, but this thing struck me as particularly childish. The characters are straight out of a first-person-shooter video game and whenever the screenwriter faced the old "it makes sense" versus "the kiddies will think this looks cool" argument, he went with "kiddies will think it's cool" every time. The hot Asian babe was the only thing that kept me watching through the rather sucky first half, but it did get better in the second half when they threw countless millions worth of CGI monsters vs. CGI robots battling in a CGI city on the screen. 3.5/5.
