If anybody watches that new Stephen King movie Doctor Sleep i'd like to hear about it.
The TV commercials make it look like it's a direct sequel to Kubrick's Shining including showing the twin girls, but we all know King HATES that movie and would not make a sequel to it.
That said, it doesn't remotely look like a sequel to his mini-series either.Comment

Terminator: Dark Fate
This is supposed to be a direct sequel to Terminator 2 as Cameron says he ignores the other movies made since 2. It's a shame because the movie is kind of boring. Schwarzeneger has a few moments but most the film just happens. The biggest flaw, IMHO, is that you never really connect or attach to any of the characters. There are some great action sequences, but you really wouldn't be upset if one of the main characters died. I blame the script and Tim Miller. Oh, and Linda Hamilton's just awful, over-the-top acting. - C for the creative action sequences.Last edited by Wee67; Nov 10, '19, 3:48 PM.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

i enjoyed Dark Fate. as I said previously, the acting is what you expect in this type of movie. I thought the action sequences were really good. but, it is also a product of the womens empowerment movement. girl power and all that, so I guess that may turn off some people. I don't really think that is necessary in a Terminator movie, as one of the main characters has always been a strong female.Comment

Terminator Dark Fate sucked. I’m glad it bombed at the box office.
Why?
You know why...
***SPOILERS!!!***
They kill off John Connor in the very beginning of the damn bloody movie...that’s why!!!!!!!!!!! It completely disregards and shiats on the entire premise/purpose/point of Terminator 2...saving John Connor!!! It’s exactly mimicking what happened in Alien 3. The very beginning of that movie kills off Hicks, Newt, and Bishop. Those three SURVIVED in the movie Aliens. The entire point of Aliens was Ripley saving Newt!!!! SO WHY BOTHER????? Argh... I’M GLAD DARK FATE BOMBED. RETIRE THE FRANCHISE ALREADY!!! HASTA LA VISTA, BABY!!!!! And hey, you’d think I’d be elated that the new central character is a Mexican girl and the new Terminator was played by a Mexican actor (as I’m Mexican-American)...but not at the expense of disposing of the important character of John Connor. Sorry, but this movie was caca.

it's a reboot. they are just restarting the whole premise. I did not mind that change. they had already rehashed the whole John Connor bit in every single movieComment

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Why does Dracula think controlling Frankenstein will allow him to conquer the world ?
Frankie can't even hold off a few villagers with torches
Also, does Dracula realize Frankenstein's current brain is actually Igor's brain ? … So Bela Lugosi wants to take out his own brain
When Wolfman grabbed the Dracula bat and fell into the crashing water he should not have died -- only silver bullet, right ? …. If he could die so easily wouldn't Talbot have just killed himself earlier ?
McDougal's House of Horrors displaying the original Frankenstein monster seem weird … Wouldn't that be like Madam Tussaud displaying the real body of Vladimir Lenin alongside their wax figures of Elvis and Michael Jackson ?Comment

Overlord.
Wow, I was blown away...great friggin movie.
My mini thoughts in this one year old thread...
I went to see Overlord tonight. I've been interested in seeing it since I saw the first trailer. At the basis of the movie it's played off as the movie version of the Call of Duty Zombie game but it's much more than that. It takes place on D-Day, hence the title. It's produced by JJ Abrams and has some recognizable faces in

Also...the last universal monsters movie before A&B meet Frankenstein was House of Dracula, now wasn't Larry Talbot cured of his curse? because at the end of that movie he stood in the bright moon light and never changed.Comment

Watched the recent CHiPs movie on Comedy Central the other day.
Being a big CHiPs fan I naturally expected to hate it - especially after all the negative reviews.
To my surprise it was at least watchable --- The studio should have released it as a stand alone buddy cop comedy with no references to CHiPs
I'd give it 1-1/2 stars out of 5 …. A way higher rating than I would have expected before I seen it.Comment

Battle for the Planet of the Apes
I just got a bug and decided to brake out my POTA set and watch the final film. It was kind of sad to see how far this franchise had fallen. It was watchable and even enjoyable at times, but that might be because of my already established love for the franchise. The plot seemed to steamroll into war with almost no nuance at all. The more recent 'War for the POTA' was a much better told story. Overall- C-WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment
