last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

Well to be fair 'Jaws' was loosely based on the multiple shark attacks along the Jersey shore in 1916. While I know it DID inspire a widespread fear of sharks among many and a culling of a lot of them for a short period, even 'Jaws' author Peter Benchley changed his tune on them. I (still fearful of sharks, same way I'm fearful of Grizzly bears) became more intrigued by them due to the movie and more respectful...I mean I don't want to swim with them or anything, I just think wow, what a magnificent animal, a real force to be reckoned with....although Orcas seem to have little trouble dealing with them...now THERE's a predator that you never think about, they're super smart and fucking tough but everyone seems to think they are the great big panda bears of the sea.


Those movies listed are "horror" they're an attempt to elicit a fear based response and make the viewers unnerved it's not like the folks watching are like "golly gee I really wish I could see some horrible shit happen to REAL people" it's just horrible shit has to happen in order for the plot to advance, but I guess you're just not into horror which is fine....I enjoy all sorts of movies, I get curious as to what other folks enjoy and why is all.

Made the mistake of sitting through a marathon of 'Friends' with my sister. First time seeing it and honestly one of the dumbest shows ;D. Save for Jennifer Aniston, then and now. Mm mmm.

In an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans traveling through Europe.

The heroic trio is comprised of Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and U.S. Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone, who play themselves in the film

@walrus if you get a chance to watch this then do it. Soldiers in training are heros too.

Watched Hunter Killer last night. Aside from a few hard to believe scenes, I enjoyed it. My fav sub movie of all time still remains Crimson Tide, though.

Only draw back was one being the ep where she and 'Chandler' are expecting a baby. She's in the stirups in labor, sweaty legs up in the air and I'm just thinking what a sick guy I must be still finding her legs so damn hot ;D.

That was Ross, not Chandler and yes those nips had past their peak by then. :)

The Wizard of Lies (2017) 7.2/10

Informative movie with some very good acting, especially by Michelle Pfeiffer. The actor they chose to play Madoff's son Mark, Alessandro Nivola, looks almost exactly like him. However, the movie has none of Madoff's relatives knowing what he was doing, which is impossible. Interestingly, Diana Henriques, the author of the book the movie is based on, plays herself in this movie.

Isolation (2005) 5.8/10

Really frightening, but rather sickeningly gruesome. Some scenes in this one are similar to those in other movies such as Alien and Threads. Cast includes some talented people in early roles, namely Essie Davis and Sean Harris.

Amy of you yanks gunna watch death house, it's been released in the US today.

I know it's gunna be fucking terrible but written by Gunner Hansen (leatherface) starring Kane Hodder (Jason Vorhees) Sid Hague (house of 1000 corpses) Michael Berryman (hills have eyes) Tony Todd (candyman) barbara crampton (re-animator) Adrianne Barbeau (the fog) and a fuck load of other people.

I've tried everything to get it off the US version of Amazon and ITunes but I've not had any joy and it's not on showbox or anything yet.

Barbra Crampton used to look a bit of alright (got naked in a few movies as well)...I guess she's aged ok, I haven't seen her in a while.


I think every so often an 'Expendables' take on a different genre is needed. Karloff and Lugosi were in many movies together. The movies won't be GREAT as there's no way to get the most out of everyone (oft-times).

You Were Never Really Here (2017) 4/10

Good storyline, but bad direction ruined it. Lynne Ramsay is one of those pretentious directors like Justin Kurzel who tries too hard to be clever and to please the critics, but her movies like this one do poorly at the box office.

This Gun For Hire (1942)

Starring: Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake
Plot: A hitman is paid off in phony bills by his employer who is selling government secrets to the Japanese.



Both of these noir flicks were quality. They were shot well, some directors were impressive in their use of light and shadow as opposed to just filling the screen with too much the eye can't process it all. Very entertaining movies, I really do enjoy a quality noir flick.


Next up I've got more Game of Thrones which I'm in season 5 and I'm already quite bored with it but the wife likes it so I'm held hostage by her decision to have those in my queue :-\ .....other than that I've got Deadpool 2 and then Season 6 of GoT and then Christmas movies which so far include Mixed Nuts, SNL Christmas, A Merry Friggin Christmas, A Bing Crosby Christmas, and The Best of Andy Williams Christmas Shows.


Hard to believe it's already so close to that time of the year

My movies are starting t pile up, Red dead is eating into their time.

Watched the new Predator. It was entertaining, but has nothing on the original.
