Maniac Cop

Holy crap! I forgot all about this movie. Haven't watched it in a very very long time.

First time? If not, how does it hold up?

I'm not a fan of horror genre, but I gotta admit that older movies effects are more terrifying than modern horror effects, they feel more real.

Yes, never feels ashamed of watching the movie starring the 4th best live action Batman.

The Goldfinch

This is like going to a five star restaurant with excellent atmosphere and an hour after you order something you can barely pronounce, they give you a small PB&J sandwich. Despite the good performances all around, the plot stays in neutral the entire time. The stakes of the movie are so minuscule that it doesn't justify the two and a half hours it spends trying to tell this story. And even when they are stakes towards the end, it quickly rushes through it. This almost feels like it was originally meant to be a limited series on Netflix. That being said, probably the biggest thing this movie has going for is the cinematography and direction. Roger Deakins once again pulls the rabbit out the hat and he along with the director manages to make the movie somewhat watchable despite the lack of care for the story. Overall, I don't hate it, but it could have been so much better.
6.5/10

In Fabric

It's utterly bizarre and wild and I loved pretty much every minute of it. This manages to be a homage to Argento and the Giallo films from the 70s and 80s, but bring something new that we haven't seen before and it doesn't hold back. It's got an overt message on consumerism, but it doesn't takes itself too seriously because it is about a dress that literally kills people and play by slasher rules. I dug the performances, but Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Fatma Mohamed were really great. Overall, it's a much watch if you are a fan of Giallo.

I've seen it several times over the years (had it on VHS tape forever)....yesterday the cable channel HDNET showed it, so I was able to burn it to DVD. It's still a good crazy action movie. Since we have a young Dolph in it, he gets off several good quick spinkicks and other martial arts type fighting. The alien's guns are used to great effect with their explosive shooting. I've never been much of a Brian Benben fan, so his presence still bugs me.....but I always like seeing Mathias Hues pop up in things. Back in the day he would have made a good Doc Savage.

I'll have to watch it again.

I wonder if Shane Black is still trying to get a Doc Savage movie made. I remember him talking about it a few years back.

There's been no real talk about it getting made for several years now. The last I heard, there was mention that Conde Nast (the copywrite owners) was holding it up.

Not seen I Come in Peace in years either. Got to rewatch that again soon. The first time I saw it was on television. Eventually saw it on VHS and then maybe once more on DVD like 20 years ago.

Is One Cut of the Dead better than Shaun of the Dead? I found Shaun to be a boring movie I did not want to watch from start to finish, I stopped halfway through.

Is it as fun and memorable as Street Fighter?

Oh god, it's been so long since I've seen Street Fighter. I'd need to watch it again.
