"Braddock: Missing in Action III" (1988)
In the 3rd and final installment of the "M.I.A." saga, Col. Braddock (Chuck Norris) returns to the 'Nam after a dozen years to rescue his Vietnamese wife, who he thought had died during the Fall of Saigon, and the son he never knew he had. Along the way he has to protect a literal truck load of war orphans from the Vietnamese military, led by a crazed Colonel who still holds a pretty major grudge from back in the day. This was far from Chuck's best movie, but it's the best of the "M.I.A." series, with all the usual wall to wall gun battles, crashes, explosions, and roundhouse kicks you'd expect. It's not Shakespeare but it's fun.

THE SUPER MARIO BROTHERS MOVIE (2023): A pair of plumbers from Brooklyn somehow enter a fantasy world of mushrooms, Princesses, Donkey Kongs, and parkour obstacle courses and raise and army to defeat an evil turtle. Beautifully animated with a thin, cliche plot; slapstick and action scenes will please kids, and it hopes nostalgia will keep adults involved. 3/5.

So it’s better then the pile of crap from 1993?

Technically better, but I'd still rather watch the live action one, cuz I like bad movies.

"The Octagon" (1980)
A martial artist (Chuck Norris) infiltrates a secret training academy that's teaching terrorists and criminals the ancient art of the Ninja, so he can bring it down from the inside. This oldie has a promising premise, but it's extremely slow moving -- I swear, nothing happens for the first HOUR! -- so by the time Chuck finally did get around to the long-awaited ninja punching scenes, I was so bored that I didn't care anymore. Even the most diehard Chuck fans can safely skip this one.

Yeah, interesting catastrophes are better than boring blandness 99% of the time.

Also, Rev, your profile pic reminded me.  I just watched Trackdown for the first time.  God damn is James Mitchum the spitting image of his father, maybe more than any other father/son acting duo I've ever seen.  Doesn't have half the charisma or acting ability though.  But Trackdown was a halfway decent 70s thriller/revenge movie, it was worth the time.  Well directed in particular.

The Pool (2018) - breakthrough movie for Thailand (made it to Tubi!) decent idea for a movie decently carried out.

A guy gets stuck in an empty swimming pool. How can he get out of the pool? That's it. Various tension and plot enhancing elements are slowly added: his dog, his girlfriend, and of course a CGI alligator.

The selling point here is they really could have phoned it in and they didn't. and yet, it did take me a couple nights to watch it. It's ultimately kind of a slow moving scenario, you know?

4.5 /5

I SEE YOU  (2019)

   A police detective is investigating the disappearance of a young boy which follows the MO of a child killer he helped put away a decade previously - but at the same time, his marriage is melting down due to his wife's affair, his son is furious with the mom for destroying her family, and a series of disturbing incidents seems to indicate there is a malign presence in the house with them.
LOTS of twists and turns on the way to a stunning conclusion - this was a very fun little thriller!  4/5

OLD PEOPLE (2022) - Something is causing the residents of a local nursing home to go on a homicidal killing spree.  The remarkably spry geriatrics manage to off a surprising number of young and physically fit people after the loud music from a wedding prompts them to break out and start murdering people.  Interesting plot; unsatisfying exposition.  Some good intense moments, though. 3.5/5

TEENAGE TUPELO (1995): Voluptuous D'lana Fargo gets knocked up by lecherous singer Johnny Two-Note, joins a gang of Man Haters, and connects with stripper Topsy Turvy, who's in Tupelo promoting her latest sexploitation opus. It's the first postmodern grindhouse film, earlier, grittier, and much, much weirder than Tarantino and his imitators. 4/5.

I had seen this years ago but it's just been re-released on Blu-ray; unfortunately, you have to contact the director directly to get a copy. It may show up on VOD after a while.

Avatar: The Way of the Water.

Or Space Pocahontas Returns: The Wet One. Visually impressive, story is fairly bog standard. The action shifts the to the Pacific Islands in the first film I've 'seen' Sam Worthington in, in a long time. Last one might have been one of the terrible Die Hard movies, or maybe it was the terrible Clash of the Titan's sequel.

Whatever it was, it was pretty bad.

Anyway, humans invade Pandora, but although they are fighting to save their species, they only make a very half-assed attempt at conquering the planet they want as a home. They don't even start some genocidal war against the dominant species that kicked them back off the planet last time. At some point, they introduce some stuff about a really valuable chemical that stops people aging, but then that is never mentioned again and just suddenly appears mid-movie. Maybe a reminant of a previously abandoned plot? Not a bad film but it can't imagine it set the cinemas alight the way the previous one seemed to (released and rereleased what 3 times already?).

FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER - In which a very young Corey Feldman gives Jason his final (???) comeuppance.  By this point the F13 series had gotten into a comfortable routine but hadn't yet been run into the ground; this one serves up the now standard doses of teenage nudity, gruesome kills, and unlikable characters combined with heroic final girl (and in this case, final kid) to survive till another day.  Nice retro fun on a Sunday afternoon. 4/5

FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING - Jason is dead, and the kid that killed him is now a troubled young man sent to a halfway house to recover his wits after years of flashbacks and unsuccessful therapy.  But then a fat, simpleminded boy is axed to death by another troubled teen, and suddenly a killing spree starts up with the same MO as the Voorhees killings.  Has Jason returned from the dead?  Has the kid who offed him gone off the deep end?  Do we really care?  Once more, it's teenage pulchritude, gore, and jump scares as the inmates and therapists' bodies pile up.  Some exceptionally pretty girls in this one; all but one wind up dead, of course.  4/5

Dracula Untold.

Not a classic Dracula film by any means, but nowhere near as bad as I'd heard. Would have been a better start to the Universal Cinematic Universe than The Mummy. But then so would The Wolfman. It is an adventure movie really rather than a horror which is where I think the attempts to get this series off the ground really fell down.

After the 3rd Jason movie, I was done. I DID like JASON GOES TO HELL more than most folks.

I think the Universal Monster reboots were trying to hard to be like the Superhero franchise films. But these are supposed to be horror films...so , naaah.

Yeah, they really tried hard to make it The Avengers or Justice League. That space was already filled. Should have tried making it its own thing.
