  1. The Last Starfighter The Explorers The Boy Who Could Fly Flight of the Navigator Leviathan Deep Star Six Fist of the Northstar (Animation)
  2. I'm a little late to the party on this one, but couldn't find a thread on it. Just finished all 10 episodes and this might be the best limited series of the year for me, even ahead of We Crashed (which was unbelievably good). I won't say much, other than it's a dramatic retelling of the making of The Godfather, starring Miles Teller. It's amazing. Just watch it.
  3. I scrolled specifically to see Some Kind of Wonderful. I was not disappointed. My two favorite 80s movies? RAD and Thrashin'.
  4. Is that release date official? Between this and Terrifier 2, I can't wait for horror movie season!
  5. Just got back, and pretty much anything I can say would be a spoiler. What I can say, oddly enough, is that if I had to compare this film to one other film, it would be... Us. It felt like the same movie, only with a different plot device at the core. And reading through some of the spoiler filled reviews, I can see what Peele was trying to do with the contrast of the Jupiter ranch versus the Haywood ranch, but if he had spent a little less time on Yuen and his backstory, and more on the brother/sister connection (other than a single memory, which breaks a cardinal sin of filmmaking - don't tell, show), the resolution would have been a lot more emotionally powerful. Parts of this movie definitely reminded me of Jaws, but the difference is, Jaws absolutely nails the characters. Nope feels kind of empty in comparison. All that being said, it's definitely worth a watch, but as far as "horror" is concerned, don't expect much. It's more a drawn out episode of the Twilight Zone. The most terrifying scene in the film was "fake". That felt like an awful lot of skirting around spoilers.
  6. Batgirl will make bank because of Keaton. They should just push Flash out and hope for the best.
  7. Looking forward to seeing the Truth Social post from Trump on Twitter claiming he could reach the steering wheel from the third row, that no one can reach a steering wheel as perfectly as he can. I honestly believe he cares more about insinuating he can do anything better than anyone else... than criminally incriminating himself.
  8. It was also a decision made to not date the film. By making it a nameless aggressor, it really could be anyone, and the "who" really is tertiary in the scheme of the plot. Also, since it looks like they're going with 75 days until streaming instead of the current 45 days, I think I might break my theatrical record and see this for a 5th time.
  9. Oh, The Howling was all about that sex. Human sex, werewolf sex... and the best werewolf transformation ever put to film (sorry, John Landis).
  10. Never finished it. The Order on Netflix has some good werewolf effects. I'm definitely more team bipeds. It's rare that I like quadrupeds, but there are exceptions, such as London, Wolf Like Me (seriously, everyone watch that now--Isla Fischer & Josh Gad, and the finale does NOT disappoint), and Being Human. Being Human (US) also has Starkiller as a vampire, which makes it a must watch. Of course, you also have Buffy and Angel.
  11. There's like 8 books in the series. The Vampire Lestat is probably my second favorite novel of all time after The MEG. Definitely going to check out the graphic novel.
  12. I'd put that #2 behind Interview. Bram Stoker's Dracula, not Brooks.
  13. Well fuck me. It's my second favorite book series, and I'm sure my brain knows the correct title, it just happened to fart when posting. I've read through Memnoch the Devil, and The Vampire Lestat is easily the best book in the series to that point (wish we'd have gotten a good film from that, instead of an Aaliyah music video. Interview, however, is probably the only movie I feel surpassed the book. Even Anne Rice, RIP, felt that way.
  14. You'd be wrong. The Howling, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Werewolves Within, Cursed, Wolf Like Me (Peacock show that does not disappoint), Silver Bullet, Underworld, Late Phases, DOG SOLDIERS, and the most recently released horror video game.
  15. There are a large number of great Vampire movies... ... but Interview with a Vampire stands head and shoulders above them all.
  16. I reserve physical media these days for rare or special editions I really want, such as The Howling steel book and RAD 4K BD. We just recently upgraded from our BenQ 3550 (never again will I buy BenQ) to a 4000 lumen Epson that is ridiculously bright. We've got the 3D glasses, too, but have never used them. Might have to throw in some Step Up 3D soon.
  17. Just so long as it's not a Zack Snyder movie. For the spoiler... Keep watching.
  18. I did, and I need to see more. Also, Terrifier 2 is coming Halloween season. Can't wait!
  19. This film in DBox is nothing short of spectacular. First movie I've seen twice in the same day (three times total) in well over a decade. One nice little nod that I didn't notice until my third viewing--when they introduce Jennifer Connelly's character? Bowie is playing on the jukebox.
  20. I concur. It's better than the original in every conceivable way. I need to see it as many times as possible this weekend. Did Dolby Cinema today, IMAX tomorrow. Would kill to see it in DBox.
  21. I could live off of Reese's. Their pieces, their cups, their ice cream, their cereal. All of it.
