Don't understand the recent obsession with debating whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not (it's even mentioned in a commercial for something). It's simply one of the best action movies ever.
My week:
Just a couple of (very) oldies:
The Lost World (1925) RV 7/10 Early Willis O'Brien stop action Dinosaurs make this worth watching, despite the over acting typical of the time.
Vampyr (1932) RV 6/10 Creepy, atmospheric German vampire film. Slow moving, but has some interesting scenes. -
Hey_Sweden — 9 years ago(December 19, 2016 08:02 AM)
"Vampyr" is a good, stylishly done, surreal horror film. I have the Criterion DVD release.
I would definitely like to see both versions (1925 and 1960) of "The Lost World".

I'll second both of Alamo's Kirk recs and add Gunfight at the OK Corral (just sticking to westerns - he was great in a lot of genres).
This place is the Horror Board. We are supposed to have anarchy here. -

Hey bud. Sorry you didn't like the ones I recommended to the board. Feel free to ignore my recommendations for found footage in the future lol. I won't be offended. Thanks for checking them out though, I guess we have kind of different tastes when it comes to those.
I'm gonna rec one more to you though in a last ditch effort to get on your good side
. Feel free not to check it out if you've totally given up on me but I'm recommending this to you because it's a 180 from the ones you didn't like. This is not a supernatural one but a (creepy) home invasion one and it stars Hollywood actors so you might like it (mostly because it's different from the ones you didn't like.)
Hangman (2015)
I know it has a low rating here but I rec'd it to the board a while back and quite a few liked it.
Just trying to redeem myself here lol.
Found Footage Movies I Have Seen:

Iceflamez — 9 years ago(December 18, 2016 05:04 PM)
No worries dude it's all good, i love checking other people's recommendations so keep them coming.
It's probably my fault but when it comes to horror i find the supernatural for the most part ineffective (there are exceptions ofcourse), but i actually did enjoy "Where's Carolyn", short and sweet it did the job.
I watched Hangman and i rated it with 5/10, i know with such rating you might assume i didn't like it, but in fact i did, i guess im very harsh with ratings but i was actually expecting this one to be complete waste of time so with such low expectations it was surprisingly better than what i was anticipating and i ended up enjoying it. -

I watched Christmas movies and anyone who accuses me of lying is his/herself the real liar. Because I watched these:
I, Madman (1989) - 6/1O
Brazil (1985) - 7/1O (beautiful but I honestly thought missed focus on the real threat of bureaucratic excess I loved how the revolutionary's demise was simply turning into a puddle of paper that's symbolic, but not dangerous enough. Trump is scarier.)
Lady in the Lake (1947) - I now have a crush on
Audrey Totter
. Crap movie though, 5/1O.
The Children (2OO8) - 8/1O, one of the best "evil children" movies, I think.
Beware, My Lovely (1952) - 6/1O (Ida Lupino is a woman, therefore I am a feminist for having watched this.)
Goodbye 20th Century (1999) - 7/1O (but I didn't get it)
Christmas in July (194O) - 6/1O and not about Christmas at all.
Beyond Tomorrow (194O) - 3/1O, yuck.
Kind Lady (1935) - 8/1O great (if I ever do the Orloks again it could make my top 5 for the year)
NON-CHRISTMAS:
Amityville: The Evil Escapes (1992) - 6/1O
Talk of the Town (1942) - I also have a crush on Jean Arthur
Also I rewatched Wizard of Oz. It was on TV but there were commercials so I just watched it on Plex instead since I already ripped my DVD of it. I use the Plex app to watch my movies. I use the "PlayStation Vue" app to watch TV. Except I cancelled my subscription to that this week because I don't need live TV any more now other than to DV-R
Top Chef
which I can honestly do without. I also have a crush on Gail Simmons.
Also on TV, with commercials, were the
Star Wars
[prequels. Now I am not a big
Star Wars
lover and I nearly hated the prequels 'cause they're so black-and-white unsubtle. But now I kinda like the ham-fisted political aspect to it because right now I fear it accurately presages the incoming Trump administration which is also ham-fisted (small hand ham fisted) and so yikesy to me.
The fiction book I'm reading this week is
Invitation to a Beheading
by Nabokov.
This was also the week I finally understood a joke a friend of mine told me almost 10 years ago. Do you remember the shooting at Virginia Tech? At the time my very funny but conservative friend said "It never would have happened if the students had been armed." I remember thinking "This guy is a douchebag. Why am I his friend?" I FINALLY
got it
recently he was being sarcastic! It was actually a hilarious quip. Good job, Sean. -

Finally watched Lights Out last night and rather enjoyed it. Not a modern horror classic, but an effective little flick with some solid performances.
Most recent viewings:
Lights Out- 7/10
