Really is great casting which I think is phenomenal given how amazing Laurel & Hardy were as a comic duo. The makeup job on John C. Reilly alone is worthy of an Oscar, brilliant job.


I think it would be interesting (although there's no way in holy hell it ever gets made) that during this time in entertainment the whole #metoo movement, post Weinstein Hollywood, that Fatty Arbuckle's story is told. I've read about it and hell I don't know if he was guilty or innocent but I think that ambiguity would really make for an impactful film because regardless of guilt or innocence you end up with a dead girl and a guy who was NEVER allowed to forget what he had been accused of. But alas Hollywood isn't into making films which make people think these days.

That actually looks a bit of alright








.....although Stan Laurel should be played by a genderqueer latinx and Oliver Hardy should still be a body positive role model but he should be played by Tess Holiday as she rides Leslie Jones' shoulders because #DIVERSITY

damn didn’t hear of this one yet. Should be interesting. They did a great job with Chaplin with Robert Downey playing him. I like a good biopic.

You know Chaplin snaked JD Salinger's girl while JD was off in WW2? She was 19 as well and Chaplin was like 50 some. JD Salinger would have an interesting biopic.

Still on Shameless end of season 1. How old is the daughter gal supposed to be? At first it was oh she's quirky and nice looking. Now she's just nasty. The girl is like a turnstile who makes weird faces.

The Ritual (2017) 7/10

Not bad. Best way to describe it is "Blair Witch Project" meets "The Wicker Man".

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) 5/10

Nice actress, but otherwise the movie wasn't so good. Very predictable and not intelligently written.

The Lennon Report (2016) 7/10

Decent movie, a "must watch" for anyone who is a Lennon fan. They should have chosen a better actress to play Yoko Ono.

The Hunter's Prayer (2017) 7.5/10

A decent action movie. Quite entertaining from the beginning to the end.

Fiona? Like her early 20's I guess. She looks like the offspring of a stray chihuahua and Richard Simmons' unwashed Sweatin' To The Oldies shorts. She's got a resting bitch face that could crack a mirror. But that's her character....remember these folks aren't supposed to be likable.



The Ritual looks interesting I may give that a look see


Just finished GoT disc 4 of Season 4....

You know the drill

Just saw Prince Oberyn stick and move vs The Mountain...and then have his head smushed in.

After that I've got 2015's Poltergeist (the original rocks, I don't expect this one to compete though the trailer looks scary enough). Then 1987's The Gate fuckin quality a young Stephen Dorff gets his start, then the classic Wait Until Dark which is more of a thriller, and then I've got some others Rear Window, The Fog, The Sentinel, Angel Heart, The Changeling, Dracula Untold.


I really would like to get either some more horror/comedies like Tucker & Dale vs Evil or Cabin In The Woods or The Babysitter OR some cheesy schlocky horror movies from any era Monster Squad, Teen Wolf, Halloween III Season of the Witch, Troll II, etc (all of those are excellent watches for the Halloween season)...I'd also be up for some diamonds in the rough like Sleepaway Camp which is a very solid flick...I'm up for suggestions.

Behold the first little glimpse of Todd Phillips' 'Joker'

hot off the presses

Sicario 2 (Day of the Soldado) - I expected to hate this after loving the first film, but thankfully didn't, the two best characters from the first film take over. It looks terrific and sounds terrific although I was a bit disappointed with the franchise end (sort of).

The last movie I watch is The Nun horror movie. It is the best horror movie and story are also great. I like this horror movie

You liked it? I’m hearing mixed reviews I might watch it this evening

House of Sand and Fog is one of my favorites of all time

The Poltergeist remake wasn't horrible, I mean it wasn't the same as the original but it had some good moments.


Next up is The Gate which is a 1980's horror classic

Watched Back door burglars1,2 and 3. Very good film

Finally watched Deadpool II and it was pretty cool. Some of the banter was overdone and I couldn't buy the little chubby kid as would be baddy but the call back references with Marvel universe always work. And Juggernaut would not go out like that, but of course he'll be back.
