Watched another creepy "horror" flick on Netflix called "The Eyes of My Mother". It was in black and white and was in both English and some little Portuguese (though it took place in the US). VERY strange story about a girl growing up in a quietly unhealthy environment and how it affects her. Not really as "scary" as it is mesmerizing to watch. No flash. No fanfare. The story just unfolds in one monotone-ish style, but keeps you watching to see what will happen next. Worth a watch!

And introducing Paul Rudd!
Wow what a low point in the Halloween series.

Michael is back to finish up murdering every surviving member of the Strode family in this nonsense entry in the series. Hard to believe 6 years after the last installment this is the best they could come up with.

Production problems plagues the film which I'm sure didn't help. It was painful to watch.

Too bad this had to be the last appearance of Dr. Loomis due to the death of Donald Pleasance.

Interesting, odd and wacko
If you can find this documentary out there somewhere give it a watch.

There are a lot theories put forth while film historians, professors, Kubrick worshippers, etc. try and explain lots of wild hidden meaning, fan theories and even the infamous how Kubrick filmed the "fake" moon landing (Danny's Apollo 11 sweater).

Some of the commentary is pretty out there, but some is actually almost believable.

If nothing else, you get to watch Kubirck film montages the entire time and what could be better than that?

Critically underrated
I’m always a bit cringe telling people this is my favourite film, but it honestly is. The direction is SUPERB. The pacing is perfect. When my son finally got old enough to watch it, I could tell he thought it was going to be terrible. He finally agreed to watch 5 minutes, with the caveat that he could leave after that if he was bored.

The first 5 minutes have it all! He was hooked.

Not Quite There
The Hulk is my favorite Superhero. Anything Hulk I will watch or read. However I regret spending money on this set. Hulk vs Wolverine started out great. The battle between the two was good. Even the battle between Thor and Hulk. Even so I thought the focus went off the battles to telling other story arcs that were thrown in. If you can find a way to watch this without spending money on it, then do it. Otherwise I would not spend money on a purchase for this movie

Well done
Im not a big Vin Diesel fan(you won't catch me watching any sequels to Fast and Furious) but I enjoyed his performance in this movie. This movie was very well done. Great cinematography, good acting and a cool, dark, fantastical story. Very entertaining with good characters, cool magic and a few interesting twists. I'm not sure how, but I think I'd enjoy a good sequel to this one. Fun and entertaining this one fits the criteria for a good movie. Watch it with thre family! Really worth a watch!

Very interesting watch. I bunged it on when I was bored and ended up binge watching all three episodes.
As human beings, we are monstrously intrigued by the monstrous and this documentary shows that.
It starts with a horrific video of animal abuse on 2 adorable kittens and escalated into psycho killer territory. Addictive and disturbing to watch and the whole time it makes me wonder about internet habits.
The ending takeaway from the "internet nerds" was super forced and strange XD no I am absolutely not complicit thank you very much hah

Have been laid up with a bad back for over a month. Been prety much confined to either bed or the couch for that time and the only consolation has been the time that I've had to watch films and I have watched well over 70!

It's times like this that I'm glad that my hobby is film and TV and not something more sporty!

Catching up on the classics on my to watch list as well as some more recent fair. Found some real gems and some surprising duds. By that show business... ;)
