I didn't really see any classics this week, the oldest movie I saw was Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994)!
How does Liam Neesom always find himself in these situations? In The Commuter he has to find someone on a train before his kidnapped family is killed. Way to ruin your rush hour.
I rewatched The Hollars (2016) with a friend, I really love it, maybe it's because I relate so much to the characters and certain circumstances. The cast is really working hard, especially Copley, Martindale and Jenkins. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll eat too much while laughing and crying at this movie...okay, that bit was probably just me.
Hostiles (2017) is a violent and dangerous western with a killer cast, so great to see these actors acting together. It's pretty harsh and cruel, probably how the old west really was.
Santa Jaws (2018), yes, this is a real movie, it sounds ridiculous, but it's not to be lumped in with the usual schlock that comes along. It has actors who can actually act, and it doesn't look like it had the budget of a mere $100. You have to have a special sort of tolerance for this sort of thing, and I do, apparently. The plot seems like a mash-up of Home Alone and Jaws: The Revenge, so if that sounds like fun to you, you will enjoy this soon to be holiday sorta-classic.
This is a real scene from the movie, I won't explain how the Santa hat winds up on the shark fin, yule just have to see it for yourself!
Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994) was the fifth and final entry in the Charles Bronson series, and I had seen all the rest, but not this one. Figured I should watch it because I planned on seeing the Bruce Willis remake of the original later on. Bronson gleefully kicks ass at age 71, this was his last theatrically release film, R.I.P.
Death Wish (2018) is a nice update on the original, although I prefer the gritty 70's vibe of the original still. This one has some of my favorite actors in supporting roles, Vincent D'Onofrio and Dean Norris. A standout was Beau Knapp who plays a serious scumbag, wound up seeing him in another scumbag role later in the week, purely coincidental.
Small Town Crime (2017) and Small Crimes (2017). jeffersoncody recommended Small Town Crime, which did end up being right up my alley. A bit of a Coen-noirish thing going on there. While searching for it on Netflix, they also suggested the similarly titled Small Crimes, so I watched that too. Robert Forster was in both, how's that for coincidence?!
5-Headed Shark Attack (2017), although still stupid, this third movie in the series is slightly better than the first two. It takes a little more time to develop the characters (well, kinda) and the CGI has improved, somewhat.
Just don't expect any explanation for why there are 5 heads, or where that 5th one comes from.
Vincent N Roxxy (2016), seemed like your typical lovers on the run tale...and then the last half-hour is a major bloodbath of unexpected violence. Whoa, Nelly! Beau Knapp returns as yet another scumbag.
