Last Movie You Watched

Galaxy of Terror (1981, dir. Bruce Clark). As I wrote elsewhere, perhaps a galaxy of something, but "terror" is likely way down on the list . Produced by Roger Corman (say no more).

Makes me long for commentary from the late, lamented Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

" Ah'm a danger to mahself an' others... "

( My favorite MST3K song, along with Patrick Swayze Christmas. )

Frank Whaley is my Gary Sinise, and this movie would seem to be right up my alley, and much of it is, but it has that 1980s thing where it ends on a voiceover, and that detracts significantly, for me.

White savior trash. DVD went straight into the trash. Complete and utter waste, and my regard for Kidman has decreased (Penn has always been whiny garbage).



(Broke the disc just to make sure it is truly unusable.)

Saw THE OUTRUN again today.

Love it as much as I did last weekend.

Have to flush this shit from my mind: The Wiz



Dancing. Freedom. Love. Perfection.

Caught the end of Earth vs. the Spider (1958, dir. Bert I. Gordon). At the risk of overstatement, I can only say that I am not curious to see the beginning. 

(Apparently this is the original title, and after the success of The Fly, the title was shortened to The Spider.)

The only truly entertaining " giant spider movie " I've seen ( not counting Return of the King ) in the last twenty years was Eight-Legged Freaks. It's cheesy, campy fun, and the makers knew enough not to take themselves too seriously.

I was thinking the other day that I should revisit The Wiz. It was quite the event when it was released.

The Great Mouse Detective.

More Disney: The Jungle-Book.

Last night I went to the cinema to see Seven Samurai.



I've watched it before quite some years ago, but it was good to see it on the big screen and the restoration certainly seems to be a success. You know you're seeing an epic film when the director builds an intermission into the print.

Was that the 2016 remake or the 1967 original?

There are only a few directors on my " never a waste of time " list, and Kurosawa is one of them.

Picked up copies of the Criterion editions of Fanny And Alexander and of The Leopard today



Also picked up a guilty pleasure 6-disc set of second-tier Wesley Snipes action flicks



and watched the first - The Contractor - tonight.

Everything here is awesome.

I watched Salem's Lot. I was surprised that it was a movie and not a miniseries like the other two. That was not a good choice. This is a door stop of a novel, and compressing it to two hours jettisons the character arcs. And then they just proceed through the big moments, but none of them are earned. Oh, and they changed the ending to something stupid. I don't want to spoil it, but it made me roll my eyes and feel more like the kind of nonsense you would see in a straight-to-VHS movie of the '90s.

It is all right but entirely pointless. It is underwhelming compared to both previous adaptations, with Tobe Hooper's original still being completely untouched.

Interesting but creepy. The space scenes especially were uncanny. I had a distinct feeling of uneasiness watching it.
