WILDWOOD: After her baby brother is kidnapped by a murder of crows, a girl ventures into the Impassable Wilderness (with a geeky companion in  tow) and ends up in an epic battle for the fate of the wood. Mostly stop-motion animated, but seamless, with no stuttering--it's a technical marvel--while the story is epic and surprisingly dark (this has the highest body count of any children's movie of the decade.) I could see someone rating this 5/5 (I certainly would have as a kid). I'm not sure about the marketing here; it's only being shown at matinees here, which means kids are in school and can't see it. I guess they're praying word of mouth will lead to an expanded release, but right now it's a financial bomb---that's also probably the favorite to win the Oscar for best animated film. 4/5.

Kristi finally got out the hospital last night, late enough that we'd given up hope of it happening yesterday.

It was good to get to sleep beside her again last night.

Her mother and sister are coming over this weekend, my mother, sister and younger brother have just left. Got one of her friends coming over for thanksgiving (not exactly sure when that is), then a cousin coming over for Yule.

Going to be taking one of the American armies in a refight of Bastogne. I'm getting the paratroopers and reserve troops that were scraped together to defend the town.

1st Platoon - Rifle Platoon.
1 Veteran Paratrooper HQ. 1 officer + 7 men all with SMG's.
1 Medic.
1 Artillery Forward Observer.

2* Veteran Paratrooper Squad. 8 men with 1 BAR.
2* Inexperienced Rear Detachment Squads. 10 men with rifles.
1 Veteran Bazooka Team.

1 2 1/2 Ton Truck.
1 Light Truck.

2nd Platoon - Vehicle Section.
1 Airborne Armoured Jeep (HMG).
1 Reconnaissance Jeep (MMG).

3rd Platoon - Artillery Platoon.
1 Officer.
1 Medium Howitzer.

4th Platoon - Heavy Weapons Section.

1 Veteran Paratrooper HQ. 1 officer + 7 men all with SMG's.
2* Regular HMG's.
1 Heavy Weapons Rifle Team. 3 men with rifles.
1 Heavy Mortar Team + Spotter.
1 Regular Bazooka Team.

The two SMG equipped HQ squads are my fire teams, both can fit in the deuce-and-a-half truck and be deployed to support wherever is required, supported by the gun armed jeeps. The rear detachment troops are to protect the artillery. The paratroopers backed up by the HMGs are my gun line. The bazookas and howitzers are to deal with enemy armour. Very short on big guns, but a reasonable amount of low-level firepower.

Quote from: Alex on October 26, 2026, 12:00:06 PMMy favourite roles of his were Moontrap and as Alfred Bestor in Babylon 5. Rest well sir.

Walter once said that Bester was his favorite role because of just how different it was than Chekov.  He did great work with both roles. 

It amazed me when I found out he'd only been in 12 episodes of Babylon 5. Felt like he was the main villain.

This could also be the title of a SEVERANCE S2 episode.

"Zombie Holocaust" (aka "Dr. Butcher M.D.," 1981)
An anthropologist and a doctor investigate crimes involving cannibalism in New York hospitals. This somehow prompts them to travel to a remote island in the tropics, where a mad doctor has been experimenting on the natives, turning them into zombies.
Silly, sleazy Italian splatter schlock that doesn't make much sense but the gross out effects are impressive.

Kill Her Goats (2023)

A beautiful big breasted blonde has just graduated college, so her rich father buys her a house.  SAhe decideds to invite a few of her friends over for a girls' night, where they strip down to their undewrwear, take showers, and then hang out in their underwear.  Lots of underwear.  Except when they take it off. 


HOWEVER... this house has a reputatio for being haunted.  Or not. 
Then a maniac wearing a goat mask (played by Kane Hodder) shows up and starts killing people.  At one point, one of the women is killed in her dreams by somebody with a goat face when our goastfaced killer is busy elsewhere killing somebody else.  These weird dream powers are never explained. 

Also at one point, the killer has two chainsaws stuck together with sparklers on them. 


Eventually our leading lady kills Goatface by decapitating him. 


He shows up a scene later alive-and-well, and nobody mentions how. 

There's also a couple of goats that show up.  Again, no idea why. 

The killer is revealed to be ... well, I won't spoil that, but he's just a guy, one that does NOT have supernatural dream powers nor is he a ghost or anything.  He's just a guy. 

Eventually, Goatface gets killed again, and the person responsible suddenly goes crazy and tries to kill her sister. 

The gore is actually pretty good in a practicle effects/80s slasher kind of way but the plot is very much like the women's outfits. Not always there and very skimpy when it is. 

If I had to compare this to any more, I'd say it strongly resembles the Slumber Party Massacre 2.  So, if you like that kind of thing, check it out.
