It’ll be interesting to see how they have Laurie still in Haddonfield, babysitting again, but 40 years later. But it’ll be awesome to have Jamie Lee Curtis return to her iconic role! I was soooo excited to hear Jamie Lee Curtis will be coming back to Haddonfield. I re watched the original a few days ago and it is still creepy scary good fun. One of my absolute favorite horror films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re watched the original a few days ago and it is still creepy scary good fun. One of my absolute favorite horror films. Me too, Vicefan7777! The original is my favorite scary movie...for many reasons, but mostly because of what happened to me during the first time I ever saw the film. Rented a VHS of it back in high school when home alone over night. To make a long story shorter, we lived in the country, and at about 10:30 that night and around the time Laurie (Jamie Lee) was running back across the street to the Doyle house, with Michael in-toe, I heard a noise downstairs. I got part way down the stairs and looked to the front door. I then had the “upmost joy” of seeing someone ripping the screen of the screen door (as it was summer and the actual door was open to let air come in thru the screen door), and trying to break in. Never before nor since have I felt that kind of fear...nor do I want to. However, the psycho intruder turned out to be...my outside dog! He was scared of lightning (which it was doing that night) and was trying to get in the house with me. I could have shot him!! I was so mad I chained him to the garage, smoked a few cigarettes (as back then I was young and stupid...quit years ago), and—forced myself to finish the movie, lol! I’m really looking forward to the new 40th anniversary movie with Jamie Lee next year!! Meanwhile my towns theater is showing the original next week on Halloween...I’ve already got my tickets! It’ll be awesome to se it on the big screen! Im not sure, but this could be the 1st time the films been on the big screen since ‘78 when it was released!

Vincent Hanna Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Aww I'm so jelly.^ saw Halloween for the first time on one of the movie channels a couple of days ago, loved it but then was disappointed that I never got see it for the first time on the big screen.

IA-SteveB Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I went to The Foreigner with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. That was one of the worst movies I have seen in a while. Badly written and so many plot holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think it’s to help get ready for and promote the new 40th anniversary Halloween movie next year—October of ‘18. It’s been digitally remastered so I’m really looking forward to it!!

Stinger390X Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Finally saw the new "Bladerunner " film. I found that it kept to the original very well in content and look. The effects were pretty good and the burning question from thirty years ago was finally answered regarding Decker. (I won't spoil it for those of you who want to see it) All around I was surprised that they did such a good job on the sequel, as I find that most sequel's suck! The movie was good but not great, but still satisfactory in my books. People who sat behind me in the theatre weren't getting the movie at all! I had to turn around and tell them the plot of the original after, as they had never seen the original. They were young kids, so I guess they are now exited to go see the original?

No masterpiece but certainly not a horrible movie either, and compared to Junior (1994) Twins is much funnier. I give it a very nice 7/10, but the extra point goes to Kelly Preston alone, without her this would be down to a 6/10 Beautiful woman!

Stinger390X Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Well it was drizzly and cloudy yesterday so I blew the dust off some old Sci-Fi's from yesteryear. The first one I watched was "FORBIDDEN PLANET" starring Leslie Nielson back in I think 1958 or something? Great movie !!! The special effects were pretty good for the time and it was way ahead of it's time for the day. Looking at it today it is less appealing but still the nostalgia was great! The second movie was "Phantom from Space". By todays standards it was totally laughable but it was great to reminisce over the old time Saturday afternoon Sci-Fi's that were on tv when I was a kid. It is totally old school and I have the black and white and colourised versions on the dvd. The plot is horrible and the costumes funny but then again you have to remember the times. It brings me back to the old drive-in days of bad "B" movies. Made for a fun afternoon though.

I would have to say this movie is another one of my favorite classic Sci-Fi watchable films. I watch it several times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Forbidden Planet is also a favorite of mine, featuring Leslie Nielsen, a young Anne Francis, and a few other notables such as Richard Anderson. I read somewhere that the monster from the ID displays a goatee because the visual effects guy was loaned from Disney and it was made to either resemble Walt Disney or Morbius. And there were some effects that may have influenced the future Star Trek in this 50s flick, such as the chambers used for light jump that closely resembled the later Star Trek transporters. And it had a number of firsts such as the first movie to use all electronic score and the first film to be set entirely on another planet. I often wondered whether Roddenberry took some inspiration from this film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Very good SB your correct in the Star Trek transporters. Forbidden Planet was the first and it did have some real cool effects for the day. The Phantom movie was just a hahaha moment for me. Maybe you guys can help me out. I told you when I was a kid I watched ABC every Saturday afternoon for the "B" movie sci- fis they played in the 60's. There is one space movie where the astronaut's are on a strange planet and they get stuck in a maze underground cavern. The guy uses hi lighter as a compass because the flame is leading them to fresh air and a possible exit. Does anyone know the name of that old B&W sci-fi? It's been over 40 years and I still remember the premise but not the title of this flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remington Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Watched Beverly Hills Cop 2 for the first time. It has some good moments but doesn't hold a candle to the first film Watched the Goosebumps film finally. Surprisingly enjoyed it. Growing up, I was a huge fan of the books and show. So I'm feeling nostalgic lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remington Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I hear Nick Castle, the actor who originally played The Shape, is returning for the next Halloween film. Sounds promising so far. Of course the bar is pretty low after the last three films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi too, but that I would not recommend unfortunately. Disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicefan7777 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Tis the season for watching certain movies. Two of the favorites in my house are White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street. Both are classics that are must see viewing every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two prequals were much better I think. Tonight I went to see "Downsizing" It was ok...had a couple of funny spots and had a good fable to it , however \I only give it a 7/10.

agent 47 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Atomic Blonde (2017) Very stylish spy thriller with solid performances and a great soundtrack. The plot of the film feels is a bit obvious but the film was so much an entertaining watch with heaps of neon lighting, spy theatrics, sex, and action it's hard for me to say I cared if the plot didn't add up as much in the end. Charlize Theron made for a spy who I wouldn't mind seeing return in a future film if they have sequels (or prequels given how late in the cold war this film is set) in mind and the late eighties setting gave me some The Living Daylights vibes. To note I've watched this three or so times since I got the Blu-ray last month and it gets even better with each viewing. Fletch Lives (1989) I know it's often considered a weak sequel but I honestly really love this film. Chevy Chase as Fletch is such a blast to watch wondering where Fletch ends and his own inimitable humor and personality begins and his many disguises make for many funny and quotable moments (Elmer Fudd Gantry being my favorite). The Louisiana setting made for a galore of the usual southern tropes but here the film is so less serious than its predecessor it doesn't feel too out of place. I never get tired of seeing Hal Holbrook on screen and if any performance is up to the level Chase is on it's R. Lee Ermey as the televangelist making every moment of screen time great as Ermey usually does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know it's space fantasy, but you're supposed to stay within the rules of your fictional universe, but the poorly written The Last Jedi breaks those rules that were set up, constantly. I'll give an example: *spoilers* When the Rebellion uses the ship and lightspeed as a weapon to rip through an opposing First Order's shield and ship, you wonder why that tactic wasn't used all the time to destroy empire ships and the Death Star in previous episodes. You target a ship in your trajectory, autopilot it to jump to lightspeed and get out before it does. How many lives could have been saved and wars could have easily been won?

Marc Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 The biggest problem with the last Jedi is how they portrayed this character. https://streamable.com/917td https://streamable.com/h6qzh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
