Good Movies / 100 movies with a NAME in the ...
Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 01:39:45 AM
as we're on a roll with these...  :smile:

> for this I'm talking name of a person (or a 'being'), and not for example the name of a town / object / mountain etc...

it can be a full name, or just a first / last name... however a basic descriptive name like 'THE INVISIBLE MAN' or 'WONDER WOMAN' would not count.

should be fairly self-explanatory but we can deal with any issues that crop up.

>>> my only rule would be the same character cannot appear more than once in the list.

Tonight's Stinker
PULGASARI (1985)
https://youtu.be/guENqa88x4c?si=g1r7cKRFsIaYPbVb

A passion project of the late North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-il, and somehow not as big a stinker as learning another cat's living under my house (YUCK!)......

So anyway, a blacksmith in a farming village learns his protégé is the leader of rebel bandits, & he's taking half the town's young men with him.... The next day, a local magistrate shows up saying the king needs more swords, but there's no more Iron, so he has to take all the farming tools & pots & pans, etc..... The villagers protest, then the rebels try to intervene, but the rebels & the old man get captured...
As the old man is dying, he sculpts a handful if rice into a tiny figurine.... His daughter receives it, and while sewing a shirt, pricks her finger with a needle & spills a drop of blood onto the figurine, wich comes to life....
The next day, she and her brother find it eating metal in the blacksmith shop, and has now grown to the size of a hand puppet... They find out the leader of the rebels is about to be executed, but when they show up, the hand puppet attacks the guards & eats their swords, growing to the size of some guy wearing a kaiju suit on a break...
They return to the village, but they don't like this thing eating their pots & pans, so they run it off....
The king sends an army to take care of the villagers, but they prove to be a formidable force with land slides of rocks, boulders & pointed sticks, so the general decides to starve them out....
It almost works, but Pulgasari comes back, & fights alongside the rebels, & grows to full on kaiju after eating the soldiers' weapons....

The midi-synth soundtrack is pretty grating, & the sword fights are pretty goofy...
Still, the pacing is pretty good, and the number of extras in the battle scenes & the kaiju suit indicate some effort was put into this film....

"Til We Start To Shout" (2025)
Fan made documentary about KISS' tumultuous 1982 "10th Anniversary Tour" in support of the Creatures of the Night album, created with a mix of live concert clips and interview footage. I didn't learn anything new but it was a cool trip down memory lane.

LINCOLN (2013) - Watched this Stephen Spielberg masterpiece with my Dual Credit history class during out last week of school.  This is one of my favorite films of all time:  Lincoln is my personal hero, the cinematography is gorgeous, and the casting simply perfect.  From Sally Fields totally losing her s**t as Mary Todd Lincoln to Tommy Lee Jones as the acerbic, brilliant abolitionist Thaddeus Stephens to Joshua Gordon Levitt as Robert Lincoln, every actor and actress rose to the occasion and created a brilliant tribute to the genius and tragedy of our 16th President. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!   5/5

Quote from: zombie no.one on May 16, 2026, 01:45:53 AMTITANIC: THE LEGEND GOES ON (2000)

I'm not about watching feature length cartoons, but I'd heard some good-bad things about this one, so snagged it when I saw it on a 4x movie disc set cheap.

straight away the garish basic animation and dull colors were kind of off-putting. feels like some kind of 'restored' 1940s cartoon (in fact no, cartoons were way better back then but you know what I mean)

the style goes from very low budget almost stop-motion type animation(?), to normal, and then we get a shot of the ship in the water which looks like digital CGI?

very skitty, choppy editing as well, and no attention to timespans. Characters talk about doing stuff in the future, as they're doing it?

But this film is all about the 'rapping dog' scene. I cried with laughter. Even bearing in mind the whole 'anything can happen in a cartoon because it's a cartoon, duh...' thing, in the context of the film up to that point it is the most gloriously inept and incongruous 90 seconds I think I've ever witnessed.

The Nostalgia Critic did a review of this several years ago that had me in stitches!
