Welcome back to another week of the BEST & WORST edition of 'what movies did you see last week?' thread. For those who haven't been part of it before, basically your host (me) posts my weekly movies and you can comment on those and list your movie for the same time frame. I will get back to you on yours and you can talk to other users here about their films. It's a great place to talk about film. FIRST TIME FILM VIEWINGFelon (2008, Rick Roman Waugh)
NetflixStephen Dorf (Blade) plays a family man who is convicted of killing an intruder who must cope with life afterward in the violent penal system. Val Kilmer co stars in this modest budget prison film that has some issues in the writing department but never over stays it’s welcome. 6/10Double Negative (1985, Sam Irvin)
blu rayThis film short follows a film director who must plot to steal the negative of his film in order to save it from being destroyed in an insurance scam cooked up by his sleazy producers. 6/10Stay Tuned (1992, Peter Hyams)A whacky comedy about a tv obsessed man who gets sucked into his tv. It’s an ver stuffed film that doesn’t quite work despite some interesting ideas. 4.5/10REPEAT FILM VIEWING
The Fury (1978, Brian DePalma)
blu rayDePalma followed up the smash hit Carrie with another psychic Horror however this one’s story is not nearly as streamlined. It has far too many characters and storylines going to the point where all the characters maybe bar Kirk Douglas don’t really get any depth. The film succeeds despite these problems because of its superbly directed visual craftsmanship and set pieces. Not to mention a great score by John Williams and strong performances all around. 7/10Narrow Margin (1990, Peter Hyams)I did not care for this film on first viewing but I really enjoyed it this time around. It is really well crafted with some great dialogue. It’s only let down by the ending and tagged on epilogue. 7/10FIRST TIME DOCUMENTARY VIEWING The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (2023, Colette Camden)
NetflixThe documentary chronicles a happy-go-lucky nomad’s ascent to viral stardom and the steep downward spiral that resulted in his imprisonment. Average Documentary
FIRST TIME TV VIEWING Treason (2022, Mini-series)

Here I am.  Yours: The Fury 9/10 Love it.  I think it's underrated. The ending, wow. John cassavetes is great as the villain. Narrow Margin (1990) 5/10 I didn't like it much. I prefer the original. Have you seen it? Mine: Quigley Down Under 7.5/10 It's a movie with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman, about an American cowboy moving to Australia because a landowner has hired him, but once he gets there he discovers that his job would be to kill the aborigines living on his land. It's pretty fun, both Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman are good. The Lady in Red 7.5/10 It's a movie about a girl in the 30s, running away from her crazy religious father and ending up first working in a factory, then in jail, then working as a prostitute in a brothel, and the meeting and falling in love with John Dillinger. I enjoyed it. I got curious about it because Quentin Trantino is a fan. It's a Roger Corman production, so it's pretty low budget. It's pretty pulpy and kind of over the top, I liked that. I thought the lead actress, Pamela Sue Marton, was good. Robert Conrad too, he plays Dillinger. The cast is pretty good in general, there's Robert Forster too in it, Christopher Lloyd... Mikey and Nicky 9/10 It's Elaine May movie, with John Cassavetes and Peter Falk, it's about two mob guys, best friends one of them is hiding in a hotel room because he's convinced that his boss put a contract on his head. His friend shows up to help him out and maybe helping him getting out of town, btu things get complicated. Love it, it's really a great movie, it is stagey, but I really didn't mind that, it's so powerful. It gets pretty dark too. And the acting is really out of this world, especially John Cassavetes. There's Ned Beatty too in it. Twins 6/10 It's the Ivan Reitman movie with Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, about two twins, who were the result of a genetic experiment and were separated at birth. It's so-so, IMO, I mean Arnie and Danny DeVito are fun, but yeah... |

First Time Viewing
Nightmare Alley (2021; Guillermo Del Toro) - Incredibly long and still somewhat shallow noir which suffers from a bland lead performance from Bradley Cooper as well as from being utterly predictable plotwise. 4/10
A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985; Jack Sholder) - Not as bad as some make it out to be, but still not a very successful continuation of the series. 5/10
A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987; Chuck Russell) - Perhaps the most fun film of the franchise. 7/10
A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988; Renny Harlin) - Some creative kills, but overall just too goofy and lacking real scares. 5/10
A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989; Stephen Hopkins) - This starts out in an interesting fashion, but completely loses the plot after a while. 4/10 Repeat Viewing
A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984; Wes Craven) - Only seen this once many years ago as a kid and remembered it being more frightening. 6.5/10 Hey Raven, A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984; Wes Craven) 6/10 A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985; Jack Sholder) 4/10 A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987; Chuck Russell) 5/10 A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988; Renny Harlin) 5/10 A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989; Stephen Hopkins) 4/10 |

You'd enjoy Quigley Down Under I think. Probably The Lady in Red too. Have you seen The Heartkreak Kid too, from Elaine May? I thought that was really great as well. I did all 4 of her filmS, heartbreak kid was my fave It's a toss up between Mikey and Nicky and The Heartbreak Kid for me. And I thought Ishtar was fun, actually. I haven't seen A New Leaf, but I'm quite curious about it. |
