Bambi - 2/5

the others 0/5

Sad. Fair enough though, but I thought Pan was the best one.

It sounds insane if they pull it off

Quote from: claws on July 20, 2026, 09:45:28 PMNot seen any of those.

QuoteThe Popeye film is not included.

It's the only one I'm mildly interested in watching.

From what I read, only the 1929 Popeye character is in public domain, but with restrictions? All side characters like Olive and Bluto are not, or something. The "public domain" on Popeye & Co. seems kind of complicated.

Either way, they are obviously cash-grabs. I'm surprised The Asylum isn't all over these.
I found a conflicting report that Olive and her family are allowed, but not other characters just yet.

The Winnie the Pooh situation was similar. Which is why in the first we only had him, but the sequel had Piglet. The third can add Tigger, etc, because their public domain dates are later. And even with that, the producers have to avoid specific Disney creations, like Winnie in a red shirt, or Eeyore's color, etc.

Finally watched the Tom Cruise Mummy movie, and I can honestly say that out of all the mummy movies I've ever watched, this one has the most Tom Cruise in it.  The actress who plays the Mummy actually does a fairly good job and has a nice monster design, but she's got nothing script wise to work with.  Basically we have a scumbag unlikable hero that the figured the audience was just like automatically because he's Tom Cruise, despite the character having no redeeming value. We have a mummy who made a deal with the ultimate evil in order to gain the power to slit a baby's throat. She's revived in modern day with all sorts of super powers, and she wants to ... do something with a ritual... and Tom Cruise has to stop her because ... some reason probabaly. There's Monster Hunter SHIELD ran by the worst possible guy you could choose to put in charge of the operation. And Tom Cruise is trying to end his curse that does I don't know what because I have no idea why. And at the end of the movie he gains the powers of a mummy.

The whole thing feel like a two hour trailer for a series we never got... and like most trailers that means you get to see some cool scenes without anything that actually explains to you what's going on.

It's always enjoyable when Pitt doesn't take himself seriously.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on July 20, 2026, 12:33:54 PMOh God there's another f---ing Marvel movie coming out, please garotte me now.

Look at the bright side.  There's at least one movie coming out this year that's not a Marvel Movie. 

... pretty sure anyway...

M.10rda - The very first time I saw Super Fuzz there was a scene where the song from the ad for the "Candyland" board game was used. It was taken out from the 2 subsequent versions I saw, perhaps due to copyright issues.

Rider of the Skulls (El Charro de las Calaveras) (1965) - This was solid enough, I guess, but a little too cheap and hokey to recommend. I was definitely more impressed with the Ghosts of the Monastery or whatever it was called a few nights ago from 1934. That said, it does have it's charms. Also, Charro is not in this.

A guy who wears a black bandana over his face is the titular rider and he fights 3 different supernatural baddies: a wolf man, a vampire, and a headless horseman guy, the last one being the most impressive, but none of them being actually impressive. It's pretty much 3 episodes of a serial repackaged as a movie. There's an annoying comic relief coward guy and not nearly enough hot Mexican women.

I wanted to like it more than I did. Ultimately, it just doesn't have any sort of magic to it or enough crappiness to be so bad it's good. Imagine if you went to your backyard and made a Lone Ranger episode with your friends. That's what this is, basically.

3.75 /5
