Jaws 2 (1978) - sequel that's not even in the same ballpark as Spielberg's original, of course, but it's still a halfway decent creature feature. Lord knows it's better than the rest of the "Jaws" flicks that followed it...

 Amazing film. It's a bit slow at first and I wish there was a bit more explanation for a couple things, but overall I found it incredibly suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) - The Big G's 50th Anniversary flick has enuff plot for twelve movies; doesn't make a lick of sense but it's a ton o'fun to watch.
Curtains (1983) - Disappointingly slow moving slasher flick set at a movie audition Tales of Halloween (2015) - ten short horror stories all set in the same town on All Hallows' Eve. Lotsa low budget fun ala "Creepshow" or "Trick r' Treat." Last Showing (2014) Robert Englund as a crazed movie theater employee who traps a couple in the cinema overnight and forces them to star in their own "horror movie." Not great but I've seen worse. Truck Turner (1974) Soul music legend Isaac Hayes as a badass L.A. skip tracer/bounty hunter. Action packed sleazy fun. The Burning (1981) Surprisingly brutal summer-camp slasher flick, a cut above the usual for the genre (sorry, I couldn't resist). Hush (2016) - Deaf/mute woman at a secluded cabin vs. murderous home invader. Hilarity ensues. Gerald's Game (2017) - Netflix original based on the Stephen King novel about a sexy-time game gone wrong. Weird, disturbing, worth watching in spit of the cop out ending. |

 Riding High (1981) Slight spoiler alert! Basically an excuse to hook together a number of Eddie Kidd motorbike jumps, footage of Eddie Kidd riding bikes, and a couple of comedy turns among an implausible story with more holes in it than a sieve. The jump at the end over an 80 feet gap in a disused viaduct across the Blackwater River is a fucking ripper! Kidd can't act for shit, but it doesn't really matter. Irene Handl, playing his Granny hams it up for all she's worth. A young Lynda Bellingham is wasted as Miss Mott. Some of the supporting characters aren't bad, like Dorking (Zoot Money), Astro (Owen Whittaker, who has a funny incident with a truck) and The Halifax Hellcat (Ken Kitson). Otherwise, Marvin Ravensdorf (Murray Salem) would probably be called borderline racist today with his portrayal of a money-grabbing Jewish promoter, Judas S. Chariot (Bill Mitchell) is a bit cliched as a washed-out drunk former stuntman a la Evel Knievel, and Zoro (Marella Oppenheim) has a nice ass but is a wooden character. The soundtrack isn't bad, featuring mostly late-70s/early-80s soft rock/synth pop, along with Eddie Kidd's anything-but-metal rendition of "Heavy Metal". Overall, silly escapist fun. I had the book of this movie when I was a kid, and my brothers and I read it repeatedly 'til it died. A case of the book being better than the movie if ever there was one. 2/5 |

A bit of a B-grade acted movie, but I still kind of liked it:

- Mu ji zhe (2017): interesting and enjoyable Chinese mystery flick.
- It (2017): very good remake. Better than the original, in my opinion. - The Basketball Diaries (1995): one of the best anti-drugs films I've seen. Leonardo Dicaprio gives an excellent performance. - Kansen (2004): Japanese terror film with a very complicated and symbolic plot. Edited by Sisslith - 04 Oct 2017 at 2:20pm |

Rumpelstiltskin (1995) - the fairy-tale gnome has been trapped inside a figurine since medieval times, but now he's on the loose in '90s Los Angeles, where he has nefarious plans for a young widow and her baby son.
...cheap direct-to-video cheez from the writer/director of the original "Leprechaun"... which tells you pretty much everything you need to know. :D

Lol I fully agree, I remember watching a couple of them when I was a kid  Two films I recently watched that I really liked: - American Beauty (1999): a classic I guess. - Let Me Make You a Martyr (2016): at first it's rather puzzling and leaves you with some unanswered questions, but when you unravel them by thinking a little, it becomes pretty interesting.

Dragnet (1987) - Dan Aykroyd is the straight-arrow nephew of the original Joe Friday and Tom Hanks is his freewheeling new partner in this action/comedy homage to the classic TV cop show. One of my fave 80s flicks.
Puppet Master (1989) - cheap horror nonsense about murderous puppets in an old hotel; cool stop motion FX but not much else. Someone must've liked it though, cuz they made nine or ten sequels... Jonah Hex (2010) DC Comics' Old Western gunslinger and all around badass gets his own movie, but unfortunately it's a misfire. Cliffhanger (1993) - Stallone vs. plane-crashed bank robbers way at the top of the Rockies. One of Sly's better late-career flicks Plus a couple of "behind the scenes of classic horror movies" documentaries on YouTube: His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th Halloween: The Inside Story Scream: The Inside Story

Surf Nazis Must Die (1987)
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) I should know better, but I do love a Troma 2000 movie every now and then! |

Scream (1996) - The horror/comedy hit that revitalized Wes Craven's career and kicked off a whole new teen-slasher movie craze. In spite of all the badness it inspired, this one has actually held up pretty well.
XX (2017) Disappointing "Creepshow" style anthology of four horror stories written and directed by women (the title refers to the fact that females have two "X" chromosomes). Neat idea but unfortunately none of the stories are particularly scary, or for that matter, coherent. Ignore, delete, destroy. Leprechaun In The Hood (2000) Ice-T somehow manages not to embarrass himself in this cheaper-than-usual sequel with the evil leprechaun on the loose in Compton, mixing it up with assorted gangsta rappers. It was god-awful but I still laughed all the way through it.
