We just got back from seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. We had to see it in 3D as they stopped the regular version yesterday. I had never seen a newer 3D movie before, it's the Imax 3D process. We had hoped to avoid a gimmicky event, but in the end, other than some slight discomfort from the x-ray vision goggles being a wee bit tight at the ears, it was actually enjoyable.
Oh, the movie was great too!

Teenage Strangler (again), the MST3K version. I'm sorry but I've watched so many of these dern things, my wife and I do our own version on a lot of movies. It's a curse!!!
We tried to watch Big Bad Mama from 1974 with Angie Dickinson, but the dern sound cut out at the beginning.
Netflix is right on top of this I'm sure....

OMG! Big Bad Mamma is a classic!

movies like that are sooooo wrong they're funny!

I remember The Executioner, Defiance (with Jan Michael Vincent), Search and Destroy (with Perry King),

But one of my absolute BAD favorites is High Risk with James Brolin, Anthony Quinn, James Coburn and Lindsy Wagner as a pot head. I remember there was some sort of buzz because at the time she was one of America's sweethearts playing the Bionic Woman.

I had just seen the 1931 Dracula film, starring Bela Lugosi as the Count. It's definitely the best Dracula film I've seen so far. I know that there's a few more I'll probably see eventually, especially Nosferatu which came before it in 1922 (is he supposed to be Dracula?).

I just got done watching the 1963 sexploitation classic, Scum Of The Earth. You gotta love the "shock" of seeing a woman's bare legs and back, and that hamrageous speech by the evil porn mogul near the end.

"Deep down inside you're dirty... do you hear me? Dirty!"

My wife and I go for a lot of "sploitation" flicks. I don't know why, but she likes them.
Yeah Lugosi's look into the camera in Dracula is one of the all time greatest IMHO.
I'll try again with BBM, if it doesn't work we'll see if we can get it on DVD.
I still have Plague of The Zombies from Hammer to watch.
I love my Hammer horrors.

Night Moves (1975)- If there's a movie that exudes the Post-Vietnam-Watergate-Nixon Resignation*-Era-Blues more effectively than this one, I haven't seen it. Gene Hackman's moustache should've gotten an Oscar for this. Great movie, though I'm even wearier than usual after having seen it.





*IIRC, Night Moves was filmed before Nixon fled office.

The Bourne Identity, whoops, I mean Unknown with Liam Neeson. Wow, what a complex, innovative thriller. Took nearly 10 minutes to figure out exactly how it would end. Even Frank Langella in his usual role as the creepy, mysterious soft-spoken older man couldn't salvage this one. Thank goodness for Netflix, if I had paid theater prices, I'd be bummed out. Frank

It was fun, way more violent than I thought it was gonna be. The hummingbird spirit guide was a bit much, but if that movie does not bring back the waistcoat, nothing will!

The 1931 version, although slow in the second half, is a classic, and to MANY people Bela Lugosi is Dracula. Nosferatu is supposed to be Dracula; the production company couldn't obtain the film rights to the novel, so it changed some names and basically kept the same plot.

I just caught the last half of "Dive Bomber", from 1941 on TCM today. I could watch that flick 6 times a year. Stupid plot, but oh those planes in vivid Technicolor!

Yeah, that avis talisman was a bit much, but the movie was enjoyable. I didn't even recognize Keith Carradine as the Sheriff; I had to later look him up in the cast...

I caught the last half hour...and regretted missing the rest. Weak plot, mediocre acting...poor Errol Flynn looked like he was sleep walking half the time! But...you're right about the planes...fantastic. They were the real stars.
