Three Amigos are we...
Cult mid1980s comedy, which is really based on a case of mistaken identity as three Western movie stars from the silent film era are mistaken for the real thing by Mexican villagers and hired to run out real bandits terrorising the village, with those three (rather dumb) stars believing they have been hired to put on a show.
The singing bush.
The invisible swordsman.
An extreme case of mistaken identity.

Terra Mystica Review
An insanely popular game right now is Terra Mystica. So, when I was offered an opportunity to try it out, I gladly accepted.
In Terra Mystica, each player represents a fantasy race that is attempting to expand. Unfortunately, only one habitat is viable for them to build upon, and so they must regularly terraform different parts of the world in order to spread out. The game is played over six rounds, and in each round players first collect income, then they alternate taking actions, and finally, they collect bonuses. The different actions can include terraforming and/or building a dwelling, improving their shipping, improving their skill at terraforming, upgrading a structure, improving on one of the "cult" tracks, taking a "power" action, taking a "special" action, or passing for the round. Each of these actions requires a different combination of workers, gold, and priests. And many of these actions will give you victory points as you perform them. At the end of the round, each player has the chance of gaining additional bonuses (like free terraforming actions) based on how far he has moved along one of the cult tracks. At the end of the sixth round, players get extra points based on how far along they have moved on each of the cult tracks, and also for how many connected structures they have. Whoever then has the most victory points is the winner!

Sep 21, 2017
Following a very selective rapture-like event, this series looks at how the residents of one upstate New York town are dealing with life after the departure.
A smoking, silent cult residing in the town go out their way to ruin everyone else's fun and enjoyment.
The main character is the police chief, played by Justin Theroux, who plays the role well of struggling to keep the town together while upholding the law and obeying the mayor's orders.

Slimer - there's always one pointless character to ruin the fun
Classic 80s childhood movie
I can still watch this over and over again without flinching. It definitely hails as one of the tops cult movies for the 1980's, it still has charm, comedy, and a decent enough plot to be played on TVs across the globe on a weekly basis. Inspired to watch it now.

H.R. Giger's designs (3 more)
Great Sfx that stand out even today
The building tension
Some genuine make you jump moments
A cult classic
A great film on so many levels. I love the Alien designs and look of the found spaceship by H.R. Giger. The film is genuinely scary with some iconic scenes. It slowly becomes a game of Alien and mouse aboard a spaceship, providing a claustrophobic setting. If you haven't seen this where have you been?

Schlocky cheesy gory fun!
One of the greatest cult classics of all time. The first time I saw this film, I almost couldn't believe some of the dialogue and cheesy, 80s gore. It is so much fun, you almost can't stand it.
Watch scientist Herbert West try and reanimate (duh) dead tissue including a few people who meet untimely deaths and you will be in for one heck of a great time!

Sick
If you like a little camp, a little porn, and a lot of horror you have to see this movie grindhouse cult film. Dyanne Thorne is incredible but the premise of the movie is a laugh. I am glad i found this on a free movie streaming site. I would have not paid to see this.
If you choose to watch this I recommendation is to have a few drinks and then watch. I would skip this movie.
