Last Monster/Horror/Sci-Fi Movie/Show You Watched

[WnewCreatureFeatures]

Watched Gotham , good episode , like to see where the new character will be going (Christopher Heyerdahl joins the Gotham cast as Jack Gruber)

[Wicked Lester]

The SWARM 1978. Always loved the 70's disaster flicks. This one has an all star cast. Gets a little tedious as it is 2hrs and 40 minutes long but overall still pretty good for it's day.

Housebound~Started watching this one but stopped since I thought the wife would enjoy it as well.  I hadn't gotten to the ending yet but so far I'm going to suggest that everyone do themselves a favor and check this one out.

I'll give my final opinion once we've watched the whole thing.

Ok, finished watching this last night and loved it.  If you don't pigeonhole it into thinking it is tied to one specific genre then you'll probably enjoy it as well; the film definitely doesn't end how you think it would from the first 30min of set up.

 The Quiet Ones - Sub-par, recent Hammer film. Very dull.

Amazing Spider-Man~Went back and watched this one again after enjoying part 2.  It wasn't as bad as my initial impression...well the portrayal of Peter/Spider-Man wasn't as bad anyway.  This Peter is still a little to cool for my taste and his initial Spider-Man is a snarky douche but I guess that part of the characterization may come from thinking someone that gains power would let it go to their head a little.  Also the parts were he is an ass to Uncle Ben and Aunt May (definitely something Peter Parker from the comics [at least from original run to early 90's] would never do) can be explained away by him not feeling quite himself after being bitten.

Both films suffer horribly from lazy script writing, found in the spoilers below...if anyone cares.


!!!SPOILERS!!!


Peter steals another students badge at Oscorp!?  Surely they would verify who you were when entering this facility.
The student who's badge was stolen is then dragged from the building; Again they would certainly verify who he was and want to know if there was an imposter running around the building.

Peter easily sneaks into a high level research area?  Let's just forget about the plausibility of how easy that access panel was to manipulate and think about this........Does this building not have camera's?!

Many folks bitched about Raimi's organic webs saying that Peter inventing the webbing showed off his intelligence; Well, Peter doesn't invent the webbing in Amazing Spider-Man either.  He buys (or procures it somehow) from Oscorp and just invents a case/trigger mechanism.  If he is buying it then tying him to Spider-Man really wouldn't be that hard and that stuff can't be cheap.  If he is stealing it then again.....Where are the security cameras in that building?!

Dr. Connor walks Peter thru the facility and there in the corner sits a device that any terrorist organization would give their left nut to gain access to?!  This thing isn't locked up in the sub-level or hidden away, nope just sitting there...well it is behind some glass I believe.

Peter solves the decay rate algorithm like anyone else could figure out the sum of 1+1?  That's just not showing that Peter is intelligent that is showing that he is a super genius.

Every villain conveniently comes from Oscorp so defeating these villains shouldn't be that hard; Peter just needs the research or development data (It's not like he doesn't have access to Oscorp.) on the individual or their gear and could easily determine weaknesses.




!!!AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 SPOILER!!!



In the first film Peter easily solves the decay rate algorithm but in the second film it takes Gwenn to figure out the web vs. electricity problem.  As mentioned above, they pretty much showed that Peter is super genius level so this just doesn't make sense.

In this series Peter just so happens to get bitten by a breed of spider that was infused with his father's DNA....gee what a lucky guy.

Dead Snow 2~Great comedic-horror sequel

[geezer butler]

zombiehorror inspired me to watch "The Woman in Black" on Wed night. I liked it. Great set and costume design---gives it a nice old school Gothic horror film vibe, perfect for the Hammer tradition. I'm a little confused by the end though (spoiler alert): why is she still haunting Harry Potter and his son? Actually, why is she haunting the village in general? Isn't her problem with her sister and brother in law? Maybe I'm over-thinking.

Last night was 80s night:

Predator (1987)
Nightmare on Elm Street 4 Dream Master (1988)

 The Descent I & II

[neonnoodle]

Phantasm
Day of the Dead
Star Trek: Insurrection
Ichabod and Mr. Toad
Queen Kong (AWESOME...no, really!)
King Kong 1976 (some things I liked about it!...but the original Kong is still, of course, the original)

Annabelle~Anyone that enjoyed The Conjuring should have a ball with this one.  We watched it with the girls, they almost made it to the end but 1hrs 24min in they both screamed, jumped and said they were done.  Sam was bawling over it but they are both fine now.

The Island of Dr. Moreau aka Island of Lost Souls on Svengoolie

The Fog (1980)

[jimm]

Finished off the Dracula Legacy collection...always good .... really enjoy the Spanish version. Always wondered what happened to Harker and the rest while Van Helsing was getting put to the coals by the cops in Dracula's Daughter. "Yo, a little help here?!"

Leatherface: TCM III~This was the first attempted reboot of the TCM series and while I do enjoy it, it is fairly bland overall.  Just your typical late 80's-early 90's horror flick.

Better than II, Next Generation, & The Beginning, though (IMO).
