"Never Too Young To Die" (1986) - cheese-to-the-extreme action comedy (tho I think most of the comedy is unintentional) starring John Stamos as the son of a famous secret agent, drafted to foil a hermaphrodite super villain played by Gene Simmons.  WTF moments abound. 

"The Conjuring 2" (2016) - another case file from real-life ghost hunters Ed & Lorraine Warren, who go to England to help a single Mom and her family with a haunting that may have roots in one of their most famous cases. Not as good as the first but still a decent spooky flick.

I'm off from work this week so I've been catchin' up on my movie watching....

"It Follows" (2015) - A teenybopper is pursued by a relentless Sexually Transmitted Ghost (STG?) after a one night stand. This flick got a lot of rave reviews when it was released but I thought it was kinda "meh." 

"Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children" (2015) - Tim Burton directed this young-adult novel adaptation that's kinda like a steampunk mash up of Harry Potter and the X-Men. Cool stuff.

"Garfield: The Movie" (2004) - This is what happens when it's my 9 year old's turn to pick a movie (haha). Thank God that Jennifer Love Hewitt wore short skirts throughout this movie cuz it's the only thing that made it watchable. 

"Independence Day: Resurgence" (2016 - years-too-late sequel to the 1996 hit has lotsa purty special FX mayhem but we've seen it all before. Will Smith was smart to sit this one out.

"The Second Best Secret Agent In The Whole Wide World" (1965) - first in a series of three low budget James Bond knockoffs starring Tom Adams as suave British agent "Charles Vine." Not great, but I've seen worse. 

"Chopping Mall" (1986) - Teenage mall workers vs. homicidal security robots. It doesn't get much more "80s" than that premise, folks :D

"The Visit" (2015) - Kids spend a week at their grandparents' and slowly realize that there's something "off" about the old folks. M. Night Shamalan's "comeback" flick has a nice twist. 

"The Conjuring" (2013) - creepy-cool haunted house story based on a supposed real-life case file from paranormal experts Ed & Lorraine Warren, who investigated the "Amityville Horror" back in the day.

The Whole docu thing is pretty convincing. While neither the acting nor the effects, are anything special and the film is pretty dated in many ways, those of us who are old enough to have experienced Cold war paranoia, can easily relate to the horrors of the film. I´m still a bit shocked really about how unpleasant it was...

Spider-Man Strikes Back (1977) - another "movie" cobbled together from two episodes of the cheap & cheesy Spider-Man TV series. Charmingly silly. 

The Chilling (1989) - Linda "Exorcist" Blair and Dan "Grizzly Adams" Haggerty are staffers at a cryogenics lab who have to deal with an invasion of half-frozen zombies when a storm knocks out the power. Cheap direct to video horror nonsense.

Unearthed & Untold: The Path To Pet Sematary (2017) - interesting behind-the-scenes doc about the making of the '89 Stephen King flick. Lots of cool trivia for horror nerds.

Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) - The fourth (but far from "Final") F13 movie revives Jason yet again and sends him back to Crystal Lake for more of the usual gory fun, except this time there's a machete wielding pre-teen Corey Feldman (!) waiting for him. If ya liked the first three...

You'll have to let me know how it was. I thought it was alright.
I was disappointed. There were some twists in the story which ruins the Alien universe IMO, and the dialogue was pretty bad too...and why put that unnecessary sex scene in the movie at that particular point in the movie?
 
It was of course a beatiful movie with great effects, but that was about it. I enjoyed Prometheus a lot more.

I'm slightly disappointed with this one. It has some great scenes, but feels like it's missing a narrative focus a lot of the time, and I'm not sure if it was the theater I was in or the movie itself, but the sound mixing seemed way too loud, like it was basically blowing my ears off at points.

Watched this the other week on Netflix:


I've seen movies with a similar premise before, that of someone being terrorised in their own home by an unknown assailant, but this one had the twist that the main character/victim was both deaf and unable to speak. It was a good film, IMO.
