OMG I LOVE that film. Even the preface is brilliant. I have the Criterion version on DVD.

Have you see Les Yeux sans Visage? Any Nouvelle Vague?

On the opposite end of the spectrum I've been revisiting M. Hulot and Jacques Demy.

Diabolique/Les Diaboliques (1955): 8/10

… been catching up on classic French cinema (while simultaneously binging on Blaxsploitation & Kung Fu movies!) and this Henri-Georges Clouzot thriller/murder mystery does not disappoint! Need to catch The Wages of Fear next.

Day of the Siege. About the Battle of Vienna in 1683 involving the combined forces of the Holy Roman Empire and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth vs Ottoman Empire.

I really wanted to like it...as I love historical-based war movies. But oh boy...

Low budget affair with bad CGI cannon blasts and smoke. The battles are slow and ponderous. The dialogue right out of the 50s. The direction is horrid. The acting was bad, really bad. Hilarious in fact. You think I’m lying? Get a load of this gem of a scene:

Yes, I made my first ever YouTube videos just for this, lol...

Was I lying?

Poor F Murray Abraham...having to keep a straight face amongst all the bad acting...

hey Mike, good to see you back, hope you're feeling better.

I liked the Irishman but it was way too long. I think it was one of those vanity projects that some film makers do

The Irishman

Didn't hate it but didn't love it either … I didn't think it was possible for a Scorsese mob movie to not have one quotable line but there it is.

The de-aging stuff didn't bother me, to me everybody looked old with or without computer software

Best thing about the movie was Pacino -- He was like the only actor who seemingly had a good time making this movie

Everybody else (especially DeNiro and Pesci) came off as bored and just working for the paycheck.

If you want to see a decent Jimmy Hoffa movie, the Jack Nicholson/Danny DeVito one is a lot better.

Watched the 1974 version of Dracula with Jack Palance on Tubi. I hadn't seen it since it was originally broadcast. Wow! It was even better than I remembered. He is one of my four favorite Draculas along with Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and Frank Langella. I liked how he played the part as a tragic figure longing for his long lost love, but still very menacing and evil. The rest of the cast was great too.

I got the DVD a couple of years ago. First seen it on TV back in 1983 I believe. I like all of the vampire movies until the 90's decade, but the Dan Curtis directed Jack Palance Dracula stands out as one of the most sensational in the genre. Palance took very seriously his role. The movie still pulls some emotion. A lost gem for sure!

Spider Baby (1968): 6/10

Wow, apologies as I was way late to this insane party! After a three-day Pam Grier bender, I had to check out this *other* Jack Hill film. Clearly a simultaneous horror homage and the inspiration for several contemporary genre. Much has been written about this movie, so I won't belabor its cult status… just check it out.

We watched a horror movie called Midsommer last night.

Beautifully shot, but yikes... very unsettling.

I wondered about that one, I admire original The Wicker Man.

"Cop Car" with Kevin Bacon. The film was pretty good. Then again, I am a huge Kevin Bacon fan -- just a terrific actor! Once I saw him in the original "Friday the 13th," one of his first films, I was an instant fan! On a side note, I love playing Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon. That is a fantastic party game!

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Even better than I had remembered. It has aged very well.

RED SONJA (1985)

It's not a good movie, no where near as good as either Conan film, but I like it. A fun, entertaining adventure flick.

I agree. And for its time I was happy to have it since there were few comic movie alternatives.

Fantasy Island 5/10- Blumhouse trying to make horror out of the old series, some good ideas in there mixed with some predictable jump scares and a convoluted plot. I like Michael Pena but he doesn't have the gravitas to play a man of mystery like Roarke. This could have worked.

Arcard 5/10- Fullmoon movie from 1994 about a killer arcade game, the CG looked dated and weird when it was new but now, it's a nice little time capsule. I had a crush on Megan Ward back in the day so I checked it out. Meh.

Freaked 8/10- Underrated and still quite funny comedy by Alex Winter. This should have been a big hit instead of video store sleeper. Plus Megan Ward!
