Thank you CANtalk. I take back every bad thing I've ever said or thought about your homeland.

I also loved Doctor Sleep. Read the book first and thought it was an excellent faithful adaptation. Which is funny. Because Kubrick's The Shining was a very unfaithful adaptation and was better off for it. When a more faithful adaptation of King's book came out as a miniseries, it kinda sucked

It's also hard for me not to like anything with Ewan McGregor in it.

creepy classic

I like Suspiria particularly for that awesome murder at the beginning (right after the clip posted, iirc) but have always felt that the rest of the movie does not live up to that scene.

Happy Halloween

Few Actors Have Ever Been As Entertaining As Bruce Campbell In Army Of Darkness

‘Acidman’ Review: Thomas Haden Church Gives Best Performance of His Career in This Undercooked Drama​

25 years ago, the sexiest action movie ever made was released. Here’s why it still sizzles​

Excellent movie, showing how the systems of society have been broken for a long time. The political class is totally in bed with the 1% & there's no accountability for even economically catastrophic fraud put onto the American people. Including events that sound too crazy to be true (& they are).

I've been meaning to mention some months back that I renegotiated a new cable TV package subscription with a discount, and I went with a high tier content option that's bringing the goods big time . I have at least 50% more movie content access than before, and lots of new tv show content, etc.

I've been on a big sci-fi & fantasy binge since, while also looking back to older content (including content from my youth). I've also been tracking down new-to-me movies & stuff I haven't seen in a long time. I've even been searching for movie recommendation lists & articles to find new stuff. It's been great

The cable package includes Disney+ & wow on that, lots more adult & movie content than I was expecting. Plus the full Marvel & Star Wars universes. I find Disney+ as worthy as or more worthy than Netflix, Amazon or Apple TV+. Here's some of the content I've been enjoying & recommended watches, worth checking out, especially if you like earlier stuff I've shared.

Interstellar

Sunshine

Pandorum

Ad Astra

Avatar 2 - Way of Water

Alien Romulus

The Black Hole (1979)

Deadpool & Wolverine

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Haywire

Reign of Assassins

Zoolander 1 & 2
I watched them back to back & they're quite similar with lots of callbacks.

Eye in the Sky

Everything Everywhere All At Once

The Promised Land

Bottle Shock

A Good Year

Blades of Glory

John Carter

Ben Hur (1959)

Excalibur (1981)

Everything Everywhere All At Once - simply one of the best films I've ever seen

Also
Excalibur
The Promised Land
Pandorum (way better than its ratings)
Deadpool & Wolverine

Everywhere All At Once came out of nowhere for me, I had no recollection or any knowledge beyond the name .

It's the first science fiction movie to ever win the Best Picture Oscar. And so many accolades.

Apparently, I missed a lot ink on it , shoutout to anyone who hasn't seen it yet & is interested


I won't add any more with that last big movie share

Rabid – 1977



Rose, played by Marilyn Chambers, and her boyfriend get into a motorcycle accident in the countryside so she is taken to the nearest facility, the Keloid Clinic, for emergency care and is treated using an experimental solution to help her skin grafts heal faster, unbeknownst to her. The treatment works but has an unexpected side effect where the woman develops a new organ that she must feed with human blood and feeding off of someone makes them develop a fast form of rabies that makes them aggressive soon after. She escapes the clinic and hitchhikes back to Montreal spreading the virus in her wake and leading us to the films brutal and haunting conclusion. A top-tier Cronenberg film featuring some well-liked Cronenberg regulars like Joe Silver and Robert A. Silverman as well as his usual body horror elements that always makes me wonder why I don’t watch it more often; it's a movie that seems to get even better every time I watch it. In more recent years this was remade by Jen and Sylvia Soska of American Mary fame and it was a decent remake but nowhere near the original.

...E tu vivrai nel terrore! L'aldilà / The Beyond (1981)



Often I’ll think of this title and immediately think of it as my favorite of the Fulci catalog or at least my favorite of his zombie movies but really there are several movies from him, zombie or otherwise, that I think this of. Regardless of where it falls on the ranking scale it’s definitely top-tier as far as this sort of thing goes though, the thing being gory zombie movies made in Italy in the 80s.

A young woman named Liza, played by Catriona MacColl, has just inherited a dilapidated hotel in the south and despite being warned to stay away she decides to make a go of fixing up and running the hotel unaware that it is built on one of the 7 doors of evil, a door that is quickly opened after she calls Joe The Plumber, a typical weirdo Fulci character, to take care of her flooded basement. Before long the dead are coming back through the gate and begin to take over the town. Can Liza and Dr. John McCabe, played by David Warbeck, stop the zombies?

Featuring lots of the gore that Fulci was best known for and many of his other trademarks The Beyond is a must see for horror fans. The recent UHD/BD/DVD/CD release from Grindhouse Releasing got me thinking about this one since I checked it out yesterday and it stands out, as expected, as the best release of the movie. Not only does it look better than it did before but now for the first time ever the US cut of the movie, which removed a lot of the gore but completely changed the soundtrack, is included on disc; this cut of the movie has not been officially available since it was released on VHS in the 80s. It’s definitely not the version of the movie I’d recommend but it’s appealing if you like the movie and have seen the normal version a bunch of times already + look at the artwork they used for the VHS release back in the day(!!!):



I did the 2 cuts back to back. There’s also a third version of this movie now, The Composer’s Cut, which is just the regular, uncut version of the movie with a different soundtrack from the original soundtrack composer. I'm not sure why they did that but it is also included and for me it’s a curio to save for another day.

The Dark Money Game
Two episodes, 4 hrs. Newer, but another documentary on widespread US corruption by the rich & powerful.
After watching, I found & read some news articles like these (see bottom articles)

These last two documentaries are very depressing so schedule them when you can handle the sadness
