It may look dated but this is one of Hammer’s greats. Christopher Lee brings some class to this Dennis Wheatley story of good vs evil.

Snooze factor = Zz [Snooze Factor Ratings]: Z = didn't nod off at all Zz = nearly nodded off but managed to stay alert Zzz = nodded off and missed some of the film but went back to watch what I missed Zzzz = nodded off and missed some of the film but went back to watch what I missed but nodded off again at the same point and therefore needed to go back a number of times before I got through it... Zzzzz = nodded off and missed some or the rest of the film but was not interested enough to go back over it |

The Old Guard (2020)
This Netflix comic book movie feels like a series pilot. It's a decent introduction to (unbelievably cliched) characters, but it doesn't go any further than that. Even the ending seems to scream "remember to watch the next episode". Despite all that, I'm a little partial towards all sorts of immortals and can easily look past the cliches and predictability. |

Anyone interest in Psycho should check this out. For its time it has a very dark storyline and Bette Davis is perfectly cast as the lead character. Is she innocent or guilty of the tragedies that have struck the Fane family? |

The King of Comedy (1982, Martin Scorsese) This seems to be a highly acclaimed movie, and I fully expected to like it going in because it's Scorsese and the subject matter is right up my alley, but frankly it didn't do much for me at all. I mean, I get the satire, the black humor and all that, and the first half of the film was kinda decent, but the longer I watched, the more I realized it wasn't going in the direction I wished it would go (didn't care for the plot turn with the kidnapping and everything that ensued), plus I totally missed insight into comedy as a genre, the trials and tribulations of the profession/working on television, no character development in sight - to me, that was a glaring flaw when it comes to plot. It certainly didn't help matters either that Pupkin is probably the most annoying character in the history of ever (when Langford finally said to him, "Did anyone ever tell you you're a moron?", I couldn't have concurred more). Thumbs up for the satire, but otherwise I found it frustrating - and irritating beyond belief. Sandra Bernhard as a psychotic fan was pretty good tho. |

Well, I'm sick of lockdown, need to get downtown. I need a downtown movie and it goes even bigger, like I want to be in New York. Looking at the movie pile, I see one of my favorite New York movies, Ghostbusters. The real one, the first one, not the imitators. So, it's the Big Apple, the Staypuft Marshmallow Man. I also want the big, noisy ambulance with the license tag ECTO 1.

http://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/movi...65_p_v8_aa.jpg BLACK RAIN (1989) First viewing. An extremely mediocre action thriller directed with flare by Ridley Scott and featuring Michael Douglas as a badass motorcycle riding cop. The movie offers nothing new to the action cop film genre, except for the setting being in Japan. |

As good as its predecessor, this is a great Hammer Horror sequel. Christopher Lee has no dialogue whatsoever but his presence is enough as the prince of darkness. It’s hard to believe that in its time these films were scorned by many as grotesque examples of cinema. Now they are nothing but praised upon and studied by film students. How attitudes have changed. This appears in my Hammer Horror top 5. I cannot fault this. |
