The Green Inferno....





An interesting story line. The film contains many graphic, and sometimes disturbing scenes. Definitely not one to watch with children!

How can a writer express that so poorly?—gripping but you can't look away: worst use of a conjunction by a professional author, ever.

Although I constantly comment on, and complain about, the correct use [misuse] of language my 24 year old daughter always replies "Dad, language is constantly evolving"; to which I constantly reply "more like a rush to the bottom by ignorant/uneducated people with no standards". Each time this interaction occurs I tell myself that I am definitely starting to get old.

I dunno. You ever look at Trump's twitter feed? The phrase suits.

For probably the first time since 1978, Superman.  97% good fun.  Personally, I find "Can You Read My Mind?" just too goopy.  More than compensated for by Christopher Reeve's performance, wonderfully good-natured.  Of course, Gene Hackman and Ned Beatty are good comic foils.

And now:  Superman II . . . .

Don't forget Valerie Perrine! 

Sooo...

My youngest son visited today, and confessed that he has become hooked on the 1990's TV show...



Mystery Science Theater 3000 !    

Today the offering was an epic from 1995 (featuring Martin Sheen's brother Joe Estevez     ) called Werewolf , which has a rating of 1.7 out of 10 on IMDB! 

Anyway, it featured an "actress" whose main talent was the ability to breathe while standing sideways, and who oozed an aura of being one late rent payment away from doing hardcore pornography.

When I checked on her other credits, I saw that she had not done anything for 20 years, Werewolf having ruined her career, such as it was.  But then 3 years ago she obtained a writing credit for an animated movie called Dwegons and Leprechauns, which was animated in China.

One reviewer said the movie was so unbelievably awful that it proved God does not exist!  0:)

Today, a couple BDs arrived as DVD replacements:

Dude: reversing the earth's orbit again? It's a hard habit to break ....

Big Wedding....





Light, fun and entertaining.

Big Wedding....





Light, fun and entertaining.

With Robin Williams as the celebrant, it oughta be!  The poster does not make it look like all that big a wedding, but of course, you want the faces of the stars you've paid for, to be visible . . . .

I would guess that great fun was had by all of the cast in the making of that one.

Good stuff.
Also, I can't think of anything featuring Dominique Pinon that I haven't liked.

e: even Micmacs - although that has the bonus of André Dussollier.

I have always liked that film.

Yes it is! And now it got me hankering for more of that super cool French 80s Cinema du look.

So I've lined up Betty Blue and Mauvais Sang, and later probably Boy Meets Girl, Metro and maybe Nikita.  Most of which I've seen before, but it's been a while.

He has huge character actor career but I always think Jeunet & Caro.



Somehow haven't seen Micmacs yet. Thanks for mentioning it.

I see that a BD copy has finaly been edited.  I need it NOW !

SEXMISSSION   Poland 1984  dir. Julian Machulksi
Sex meets science-fiction as two scientists awaken after a 50-year cryogenic slumber to discover they are the only two men in a post-apocalyptic world.  An Amazon race, dressed in transparent plastic will let them live if they will give up their 'manhood'.
Escape is another option.
Inventive and humorous plot and production, English subtitles.

Amazing Grace
[asin]B000VNMMQG[/asin]
An excellent movie with a good cast, all the players in suitable roles, a well cast cast, about William Wilberforce.

Sad to say, I suspect I need to add an explanation of who Wilberforce was. But I won't.

[Parsifal]

Good stuff.

I believe in recycling whenever possible.
