A real amateur treasure with the some well known actors in it.  John Terry plays Hawk like a block of wood

Tonight's Stinker
Iron Warrior (1987)
https://youtu.be/c6X2Sfql4o8?si=Gjq3VPGCQHPW_On5

A strangely emasculate looking Miles O'Keeffe in a third reboot of the Ator mythos...
As children, a wicked witch kidnaps Ator's brother.... Eighteen years later, he spends his days posing in the mirror with his sword, the witch returns & crashes a princesses birthday....
Ator must escort the princess to safety & deal with the wicked witch & get in lots of sword fights...

Good cinematography at times, Malta makes for a good backdrop, Some surrealism, and riffable moments....
The witch likes to mess with people's heads, so the story gets confusing at times, especially at the end...

The Whispering Man - I haven't gotten to the end, but I refuse to watch the last 20 minutes. Every found footage  cliche in the book. The all Hungarian cast attempt to do the thing with their broken English. In the beginning I was skeptical, and my skepticism grew and grew. If I found this footage I would put it back where I found it.

1/5

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024 . I don't know how I feel about this one I mean I did enjoy the movie - i'm happy that the original cast was in this movie - and the new girl that played Wendy Adams did  terrific!
but still, Not really sure how I feel about it though it's not my favorite movie but I definitely don't hate it

Not too bad but...   definitely I like the original the best   

My favorite part was Monica Belushi's character she was absolutely beautiful

ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE (2006)

checklist of doom:

*shot in that deep brown/yellow sepia tone that is not cool or edgy (but thinks it is): CHECK

*immature one-dimensional wannabe cool/edgy characters who are all insufferable douchebags: CHECK

*TMI girly bathroom scenes: CHECK

*literally every guy in the school is obsessed with one girl, like that's in any way realistic: CHECK

generally rubbish: CHECK

another failed post 2000 slasher attempt. no charm  no energy, not entertaining.  3/10

Grizzly

Not as good as Jaws, but ok on a long afternoon.

COLLATERAL DAMAGE (2002)

If you're going to put Arnold Schwarzeneggar in a movie you might as well play to his strengths (no pun intended, honest)... he could be just about any other actor here. in fact he seems like a bit-part actor even though he's the star of the movie... there is no 'Arnie-ness' in his performance at all.  totally generic international crimebusting dreariness and seriously lacking in fun.

Hubie Halloween 2020 Adam Sandler,

I want my 2 hours back...

END OF DAYS (1999)

nonsensical, but way more watchable and entertaining than COLLATERAL DAMAGE, but once again Arnie is wasted. Arnie is virtually annonymous, and certainly not in 'Arnie' mode.

weird coincidence I noticed - Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Pollack who were both in THE USUAL SUSPECTS are in this as well, and like that film this one also contains the line "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he never existed"... spooky

MINORITY REPORT (2002)

Wow this was brutal and not in a good way. Absolutely cringe-inducing self important nonsense. on toast. and filmed in a horrible flourescent blue/white glare... couldn't even finish it. Not a big Cruise fan anyway but I'll give anything a fair chance. Disappointing.

MINORITY REPORT (2002)

Wow this was brutal and not in a good way. Absolutely cringe-inducing self important nonsense.

Agreed wholeheartedly, though somehow I know that you and I are in a "minority" on this one.    The cult of Spielberg was in full force support of this back in '02. Sure the premise is intriguing, but so much of the execution is thoughtless. Samantha Morton has been prostrate in a bathtub of saline for months or years but her muscle tone immediately returns as soon as she's released and she can run without hesitation.  Feh! One of the dumbest and worst from SS.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

I really, really wanted to like this one but couldn't. It felt like three separate but equally underdeveloped plots were going on. The first time we watched it we missed how things ended with Monica Bellucci, so we watched it a second time the next night. The soundtrack seemed jarring and didn't fit with the movie. There were some decent performances, but nothing enough to save the film. I am sure the film will have its fans, but I couldn't bring myself to be one of them alas.

gonna have to "report" you for that terrible pun... (oh hang on now I've done it as well!)

yeah I had a couple of friends tell me to check it... reviews all saying it's one of Spielberg's best, blah blah... whatever he does I will always love DUEL and JAWS.
