Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...
Last post by chainsaw midget - October 08, 2026, 01:07:17 PMI watched Love at first Bite and Once Bitten. They came together in a Blue-ray two pack.
Love at first bite is a funny little romantic comedy with George Hamilton as Dracula. He's not in my top ten list of actors who have played Drac, but he does the role all the justice it needs here.
Once bitten is one of Jim Carrey's earliest movies. He was the "relatable teen romantic lead" and there were time he was a bit ... well... too Jim Carrey for the role, but it was all in all a fun movie. I loved the dance-off and the vampire's gay servant was a really fun character.
All in all- both a good recommendation, neither GREAT, but if you're in for some romantic vampire comedies, you could do worse.

EYES OF THE MUMMY (1918):
This is, somehow, an early film from Ernst Lubitsch, a highly regarded director who later made the very good TROUBLE IN PARADISE. It's amazing he kept working after this one. To quote another fat film reviewer - It stinks!
A British guy visits Egypt to find mummies. He enters a pyramid (the entrance to which is sitting wide open) and finds no mummies but does find Emil Jannings and Pola Negri, supposedly playing indigent Egyptians. The white guy steals away w/ Negri and Jannings follows, looking for revenge. (Spoiler Warning: He gets it.
)
Okay, Negri and Jannings are supposed to be Egyptian, but the Polish (maybe Romani) Negri's character is named "Ma" and the white guy fetishizes her like she's Chinese (including ordering her to dance to "Oriental music"); and German Jannings wears insane brownface and a fright wig to play "Radu", which is a Romani/an name, not an Egyptian one. Also his character is a complete psycho but I guess we're also supposed to feel a little bad for him? This poor cultural representation would be distasteful even in a great silent movie, and EYES OF THE MUMMY is dull as hell.
Negri does play with a little kitty cat in one scene. 1/5 No, there is no mummy in this movie!

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by indianasmith - October 08, 2026, 05:48:30 AMEVIL DEAD BURN (2026) My daughter and I watched this one Tuesday night. A fairly typical addition to the franchise which didn't do anything new but still managed to be a fun horror movie. 4/5
