What did you witches watch this week? (10/06-10/12)
My week:
Truth or dare (2017 Netflix): I hated it. 2/10
Clue (1985 DVD): First half was okay, second half was better. I’m glad I bought it just to have the three ending versions: Version 1 (Miss Scarlet): 6.5 Version 2 (Miss Peacock): 6.5 Version 3 (all of them): 7/10
Fright night (2012 Bku-ray): I enjoyed the cast. I loved the sunny neighborhood. I loved the story. The teenagers shenanigans. The light humour was good too but it never became a parody so that’s cool. The special effects were dope and overall, this is now amongst my top vampire movies. Admittedly, I do have a good dozen of them on my top list. I’m really not a Colin Farrell fan., like I could never say oh yeah, he was really good in that movie! Well, now I can this is the movie he’s good in, to me. Colette was in top form too. Absolutely loved her here. My rating: 8/10
Resident evil (2002 DVD): I hadn’t seen this movie since it came out and I think it still look pretty great and I’m not talking about Mills Jakovich. The decors , the camera work, the slow motions, the special effects and the Gore, all still very good if you ask me. even the soundtrack worked for me. I really dig the overall vibe of the movie. Quite atmospheric and filled with cool scenes. I’m totally aware that I’m not a very demanding movie lover, but I don’t see how anyone enjoying the zombie genre could not appreciate this little gem . Another thing is the fact that it starts with a bang and doesn’t let up for its entire length, it’s really action packed, and I appreciate that from it. Kowalski mentioned three things about fans of this flick: the nostalgia factor: that I totally agree with. Having played the video game: I did but I was not a big fan of them . And finally, fans of Milla. That I am! She might be the most beautiful and at the same time the most badass actress of all time. When she shoots all those dogs and then roundhouse kick the last one in the face., that was pure gold. It was a total blast and I was stoked to finally see it again. 7.5/10
Rabid (1977 Tubi): This movie worked well for me. I enjoyed the atmospheric and creepy tone of it all. The music with the themed piano track, the madness of the story, the lead actress. Maybe not Milla but she was hot and did a good job, especially considering she was a porn star. It was unique, that’s fire sure… an armpit vagina with a deadly phallic stinger, i mean, who else could come up with that other than my fellow Canadian prolific director. Not a lot of names come up to mind… Good movie, looked very nice for the 70’s too..Only negative comment is I thought it lost some wind in the last 10 mins but that’s a very minor detail. My rating: 7/10
Stake land II (2016 Tubi): Fine for what it was, a bit too cheesy at times. Liked it just a bit less than the first. 5.5/10
