The Plague of Zombies is an okay little horror movie with an interesting enough premise and has enough of the cheese factor to make it entertaining enough.
Scooby-Doo and the Curse of the 13th Ghost was an okay movie that at least did make be chuckle a few times and I did enjoy the connection with the old 1985-86 series, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo which was pretty cool.
Sarah T.: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic is actually not a half bad little drama from 1975, one which has garnered a modest following over the years and the long wait is over as Shout Factory gives it its home video debut.
The Girl in the Spider’s Web is certainly a step down when comparing it to the Fincher adaptation of Dragon Tattoo and although I personally found it entertaining even for all of its flaws.
First Man might not be the best movie about space exploration around but it is still a well made drama from Damien Chazelle in a solid follow-up to his Academy Award winning music-drama, La La Land. Ryan Gosling gives a nice, if not quiet, performance.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels might not rank high amongst my favorite 1980s comedies, but this is still a funny film even when you know the ending. The dynamic between Steve Martin and Michael Caine was great.
Cobra isn’t a very good movie… at all and rather a second (or third) rate Stallone action-thriller with minimal to no character development and an utterly ridiculous plot, or more to the point villain(s) and motives.
Hell Fest does not re-invent the horror wheel or anything, and it does feature a rather thin story and even thinner villain, but the ensemble cast was likeable enough.
Johnny English Strikes Again is not a very good movie but at least is tolerably bad if only for Rowan Atkinson’s physical humor more so than the actual jokes.
Screamers is a fine B-movie science fiction film that works mostly for the charisma and weight Peter Weller brought to the role as well as Jennifer Rubin who was wonderful in the female lead.
I’m not especially fond of the Howling franchise and this third entry, which doesn’t have much in common with the first two films, has a few cheesy scenes and an amusing premise that did make this at least an entertaining fantasy-horror flick.
Suspiria is one interesting film that does take aspects of Dario Argento’s 1977 original and adds a little bit of a spin of it, including an absolutely bananas finale which in some respects was actually better, or at the very least more memorable.
The Super could’ve been a fun thriller as it was advertised but what we got instead was a messy supernatural-horror film whose only redeeming factor very well may be Val Kilmer who did bring a gravitas to the film.
Night School is just a poorly made comedy, one which I did not laugh once and goes to show perhaps Kevin Hart’s limitations when he doesn’t have the right director, material and even ensemble cast to work off of.
Bloody New Year is your typical 1980 indie slasher/horror with some gory fun moments amongst the so-so performances; this probably would make for a fun viewing especially around New Years.
