Crash (1996)

"I think I'm all right.
-Maybe the next time, darling."

Supervixens (1975)

"You can't make a throughbred out of a jackass."

Well, I guess I'll have to drop that one from my maybe-one-day-popcorn-flick list.

The two under it are much more typical grindhouse though Bloodsuckers is like early torture porn horror. I found an intro by Lloyd Kaufman online, in which he said it was the only movie he ever did that he would pass on if he could go back. Take that for what it is worth. Samurai Cop is so bad it's good x 10. A reckless Samurai cop vs. Yakuza. What's not to love?

Saw X Men: Apocalypse and I'll never listen to critics again: BADASS movie! Not as good as Civil War, but great anyway. Seeing Phoenix completely blew me away, anyone who hasn't seen this movie should NOT hesitate!

Apocalyse: 9/10 (Civil War, Winter Soldier, Man of Steel, and Dark Knight Trilogy are all 10/10 and Green Lantern is 7/10 in my book (10/10 for all the scenes off earth), if that helps).

It was okay, but most of the performances, especially Duvall's were very good.

Godzilla 2000

"Quit your b***hing."

Colombiana (2011)

"I want to be a killer. Can you help me?
-Sure."

Godzilla vs the Sea Monster (1966)

"It's too bad Mothra has no alarm clock."

Goosebumps (2015)

"Why couldn't you write about unicorns and rainbows?!
"Because that doesn't sell 400 million copies!"


The new kid in town makes friends with the neighbor's daughter, despite her dad's intense efforts to keep him away. One night he thinks she's in danger, so he sneaks into the home and unwittingly unleashes the monsters from R.L. Stine's book series upon the locals. Left with little choice, the author and kids must team up and stop evil from destroying everything.


Actually, this was better than expected. You'd think it was a Syfy-grade flick, but actually it's got some good visuals and loads of creative enemies (lawn gnomes never seemed so scary, even in the show). The details on said monsters are actually pretty solid, and the voicework Jack Black does as Slappy the Dummy make you think it's Mark Hamil recreating his iconic Joker from Batman: The Animated Series.

While the story starts out a little typical, it really does come off as something right out of the pages written by Stine, and therefore fits very snugly into the mythos. As does Stine himself, who makes a brief cameo at the end.

Overall, this is a very solid rental, if not a buy. I loved a bunch of the Goosebumps books as a kid, and I really enjoyed seeing a bunch of the old characters, one of my favorites being the Werewolf of Fever Swamp.

Being on an X-men kick after seeing Apocalypse, I gave this another try. Quick backround: I never particularly cared for the mutant heroes' movies until First Class and Days of Future Past, and watching this didn't change my opinion much. Like the other, early two, there are things I REALLY like about it, but as a whole...put it this way, if I never saw it again, it wouldn't exactly bum me out. Not so for DoFP, FC, and now Apocalypse. Just me.

I Saw the Devil (2010)

"Who broke your balls?"

This was an excellent crime-revenge flick from S. Korea in which a secret service agent tracks down the serial killer, but decides to continually beat, release, and track him until things turn back on him. And yes, that quote, is being asked literally, not figuratively.

Miami Connection (1987)

"They don't make buns like that down at the bakery."

Soul Brothers of Kung Fu (1977)

"I exposed myself but simply to trick you."


Girl Boss Guerilla (1972)

"Things may be rough today, but come tomorrow I will be able to put it behind me. That's my motto."

I watched Dead Of Winter last night (1987). Seeing Roddy MacDowell again was fun, but it was overall kind of meh imo.

The Exterminator (1980)

"I think you need to take a s**t. It's coming out of your mouth instead of your a**hole."

/\ Ha ha, that's a good line. I'll have to remember that for future insults.

Black Gunn (1972)

"No need to waste good horse."

Man I watch reviews for these Grindhouse movies on Youtube because sometimes they're informative or funny, but I feel like I could do better than half of these except for two problems: I have no technical skills to edit in clips or photos (which the best ones have) and I don't particularly like to be photographed. Still, I know more about these cold than half these cats do (let alone if I researched them, which I would do).

Anyway, this was pretty good for throwing in so many now cliche Blaxploitation tropes (the white gangsters use half the racial slurs out there). The story and action are decent. The cast (besides football player turned "actor" Jim Brown) includes a lot of familiar faces from before and after this time (like Martin Landau and Bruce Glover).

The Beastmaster (1982)



Pretty white pup pup died.

Fun movie, but the soundtrack for some reason irritates me really bad.

I saw this, and it jumped the hell out of me. The story was very obvious/microwav'd, but I'm baffled at the more vehemently negative reviews. It's not often I get actually scared during a movie; I was outright petrified at a couple points during this. Reccomended.
