A whole bunch of stuff! I just got a Blu-Ray player with Netflix streaming on it... so you can imagine how little I've been outside lately... I really need to find a job... ANYWAY.

-Deathdream- Criminally overlooked post-Vietnam horror flick from Bob Clark (Black Christmas) about a guy who comes back from the military as the undead and alienates everyone around him. Awesome stuff. Would make a great double bill with Romero's Martin.

-God Told Me To- Crazy film by Larry Cohen about a cop tracking a spree of random murders that the perps claim were ordered to kill by god. Turns out they're all puppets for a Jesus-like alien messiah who is trying to get the main cop to f*ck a vagina in the side of his chest... yeah its nutty as hell, but so original and different. Cohen is underrated

-It's Alive- Another Larry Cohen film, this one a bit more well known. A killer mutant baby! Its actually played pretty straight and not a bad flick at all, although I found the middle to drag a bit. Haven't seen either sequel yet but I hear they are a lot campier.

-Before Sunrise- Gen-X romantic drama about two pretentious windbags who meet in Europe. Boring.

-Before Sunset- Sequel to Sunrise, and I actually REALLY dug this one since the characters are no longer smug, self important college kids..

-Galaxy of Terror- A really nifty Alien rip off from Roger Corman, with an all star cast and awesome set design and death scenes by James Cameron. A precursor to Aliens as Cameron shows a lot of the trademarks of his early films here.

-100 Feet- A pretty decent cheapy from a couple years ago starring Famke Janssen as a woman who killed her abusive husband and is now under house arrest with the ghost of her husband terrorizing her. Would have been a GREAT film, but its hampered by over-exposure of the ghost, awful CG effects at every turn, and a really over the top and out of place finale. Still worth a look.

-Fallen Angels- Wong Kar Wai's sequel to his fantastic romantic drama Chungking Express. Good, but not great. I'm a big fan of WKW but this is the weakest I've seen from him

-The Spirit of the Beehive- Awesome Spanish drama about a lonely little girl who sees the 1931 Frankenstein and becomes obsessed with finding the creature herself. An amazing portrait of what its like to be a lonely kid with a sh*tty family. A definite influence on Guillermo del Toro and it shows, even if its more drama and not much fantasy at all. Tons of nods to James Whale's film as well.

-Piranha- Just got the blu-ray for the Roger Corman produced, Joe Dante directed overlooked classic. A riff on Jaws made to capitalize on Jaws 2, made for only $600,000 and managed to be infinitely better than that film and the other Jaws sequels combined. Great cast, great characters, and surprisingly good and witty writing make this one hold up even today. I look forward to Aja's remake for a cheesy good time, but I doubt it'll have the clever satire or the great characterization of the original film.

And I still have yet to watch my Blu-Rays for Robocop, the Aviator, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, and Unforgiven.

The Dark Knight - I absolutely love all the little homages to Burton's first Batman film. Specifically, the scene where the Joker challenges Batman to gun him down while he's on the Batcycle and how that is so similar to when the Joker challenges Batman to gun him down while he's in the Batplane...

Matango-LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

Fourth Kind-I thought it was good. The series of clips playing on the screen sometimes kinda threw me off, but it was definitely an amazing "documentary" to watch. It did scare the crap out of me sometimes.

American Pie 2- Again hadn't seen this in awhile so decided to watch it. Was ok not as good as the first but did have it's moments.

American Wedding- The weakest in the trilogy not really that funny at all. The stuff they tried to make look funny just seemed like they where trying to hard.

Jason and the Argonauts- I have this on DVD but decided to Netflix the BD version to see if it was worth an upgrade. The picture is decent but a lot of the scences looked just like a sharper version of the DVD. Still an amazing movie though.

Julie & Julia

Yeah, it's a chick flick, but I'm something of a foodie and the the Julia Child parts are cool, and Streep rocks.

The Amy Adams stuff not so much, but as I'm working my way through a couple dozen cookbooks myself (currently on Iron Chef Chen Kenichi) I can relate. No plans for a regular blog about it though.

-Dead and Buried- Unique zombie movie co-written by Dan O'Bannon and directed by Gary Sherman. Not quite as good as I hoped, but still a pretty decent flick. Even though it doesn't make much sense, it has a really good creepy mood to it.

-The Bird With the Crystal Plumage- I'm back and forth when it comes to Argento, but this is one of the better ones, especially for a giallo (a genre that I generally find pretty boring).

-Godzilla vs. Destroyah- I don't care what anyone says, this is still one of my favorites.

-Trick r' Treat- Yes, its out of season, but this movie is still a great deal of fun on repeat viewings.

-Citizen Toxie: Toxic Avenger 4- An awful movie where only about half of the jokes are funny... but I guess that's part of what makes a Troma film a Troma film. Lemmy has an awesome cameo.

-Period Piece- what in gods name did I just watch? Ultra cheap, nonsensical movie made by the kid from Independence Day. Lots of naked old people, teddy bears being raped, narration by tater tots, tater tots having sex, and dead animals being dismembered.
