Annabelle comes home: I give it a B. I liked the storyline but they just don’t make movies scary enough anymore.Comment

Shazam on DVD - I'd give it a B. My wife took the kids when it was in theaters but I couldn't make it. I am not a Marvel family expert by any means, so I didn't get hung up on any continuity issues. The film was fun for the most part, but I would have preferred a different villain than Sivana.
Spoilers below
The rainbow of Shazams at the end confused me a little. I'm not sure how they fit with the Shazam I grew up with. I only recall Uncle Marvel, Mary, and Freddy.Comment

I just watched "Lifeforce" on Amazon Prime. Since there is nothing less than an "F" that is what I will give it! The late-great Tobe Hooper (shame on him), directed this utter piece of garbage from 1985. Laughingly set in space, a group of astronauts find a group of well-preserved people (who ended up being space vampires). The writing, acting, special effects -- everything was just atrocious. Yes, kudos to the naked lady vampire (she was gorgeous). Yet, if I want a cheap thrill, that is what other venues are for. This film was a great study in how NOT to make a film.Comment

I didn’t love it, but it was a fun “little” movie. Derivative of Big. I much prefer Tom Hanks movie. That’s a classic. I don’t see Shazam! morphing into classic status anytime soon.sigpicComment

Tag- 6/10
I was hungover, yesterday. It's recommended if you're hungover, a few decent laughs weirdly provided by Jeremy Renner.
JAW 3D- 4/10
To be fair, I knew this was a trainwreck but I guess you sometimes check in to make sure it hasn't changed? The director was a rookie, seemed to have little knowledge of building tension, sprinkle in terrible special effects and poof! A ruined franchise.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

The Green Slime
Someone, somewhere on these boards mentioned it and so I found a copy. I finally got around to watching it last night and it was a blast. I don’t know how I missed this one in all of my B-movie affection. This is a pretty good movie.
First off, there is such a crazy vibe in watching a Japanese-made movie with an all Anglo cast. The sets, the costuming, the miniatures and effects all give off the feeling that Godzilla is going to make an appearance at some point, but it’s straight-up ernest and sincere in a 1960’s sci-fi kind of way. It’s no 2001 A Space Odyssey, but infinitely more rewatchable for my sensibilities.
A double-bill drive-in showing of this and Forbidden Planet would be a great night under the stars.Comment

I just saw "Bad Match" on Netflix! Wow! This film was much better than I ever imagined it would be. Yes, the entire "Fatal Attraction" genre has been done to death (pun intended). However, there is a great twist in this film. Yes, I did suspect the twist. Yet, it was still a very effective twist! Overall, it was a very well-made film! It is certainly worth an A-/B+!Comment

It's hard to understand why Jaws 3D didn't come out better. It was written by Richard Matheson, and although Joe Alves didn't direct much before, he was the production designer on the first 2 Jaws films and on Close Encounters.Comment
