What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[Touchofevil]

Going in I mostly knew what to expect. That is why I rented it through Redbox for a buck.

Read the book once upon a time and knew from the previews that the movie followed book in name only. Did not expect a whole lot and consequently was entertained enough. I was more entertained than I was by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter which although more like the book was somehow made in to a waste of my life.

Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Safety films.
I found it on Amazon Instant Video.
Nice 50's through 70's styles, including one story about a TV being delivered broken.
It's a 50's Motorola, complete with the 50's house and furniture.

Really slow and too many shifts back and forth in time. :doh:

 

[Matt Crunk]

Just watched The Lineup (1958), a very decent late classic-era noir.

 

[celestial]

Was pretty amazing.

Good, because I can't find it where I usually look anyway.

I couldn't sit through 15 minutes of the Vampire Hunter business...and I tried 2x! :eusa_doh:

George Washington: Zombie Killer will be better.

George Washington: Zombie Killer will be better.

I always thought Lord Cornwallis looked a little on the pasty side.

I was bored pretty early on and struggled through the rest of it.

It was okay in 3d, but the theater we went to was old, and the screen wasn't that large.
Put it in HD with a large tv, and it looked a lot better.

Tonight it's The Crimson Cult, with Karloff, Lee, and Steele.
This is the film Karloff got pneumonia from, because some fool put him in freezing rain.
As a result of that action, he went downhill quickly.
I know the smoking didn't help, but given his age and condition, I often feel better decisions could have been made to keep him with us a few more years.
Also have several classic horror movies set to tape in the next few nights.
I'll watch Cleopatra Jones tomorrow night while those are taping.

How could it not be?

On DVR.....

I like the fact that the expectations for a horror film are so low that you can write one with good reviews without it being Beowulf.

Bad is the new Good. Lower expectations make everything better. Everyone is a winner!

Especially writers of said genre.

 

[C44Antelope]

We are watching "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon"


Not strictly a horror film.


There is a graveyard, blood, a guy gets thrown into a fire, there's a storm. If it had a kook with a hockey mask you'd swear it was horrorific

Is this a slap at silver painted paper plates on a string?
Or plots that don't make any sense whatsoever if you think about them for more than 30 seconds?
I have a large collection of those, mostly Mystery Science Theater 3000's versions of course.
