Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)

The grooviest of the Dracula sequels is definitely a victim of its time but is no less fun and it gets better as it goes along. It also sees the return of Peter Cushing as Van Helsing both the original and his descendant. Stephanie Beacham is one of the better actors in this and she's pretty entertaining to watch despite some of the material she was given. Christopher Neame at times gives an over-the-top performance as Johnny Alucard and the resurrection ceremony scene is very well done. Dracula appearing out of the smoke is a really cool visual as is seeing Lee and Cushing reunited on screen as these particular characters at the end of the film. In fact the build up to their confrontation is quite suspenseful and I really like the brutal trap Van Helsing sets for Dracula.

A highly enoyable Jarmusch flick. Swinton and Hiddelston are amazing together just as I would imagine (and we all know by now that Tilda Swinton actuallay
doesn't age, she's immortal). But the story itself drags you IMO. As a scandinavian and fiull on gluitar geek I really aprecciated that intro.

Only sad thing watching this a coupla years after it's release is knowing that both John Hurt and Anton Yelchin aren't with us anymore. Godsped, gentlemen

"War Is Hell".....William Tecumseh

And what happens to the men and women of the armed services is quite hellish also

In Thank you for your Service Director Jason Hall and writer David Finkel
take true events and form them into a riveting and soul stirring film as the lives of returning soldiers from Iraq play out as they deal with PTSD and the disconnect from fiance's,wives,family and the world.

Fine performances from the entire cast which includes : Miles Teller,Haley Bennett,Joe Cole,Amy Schumer,Beulah Koale and Scott Haze
and sobering scenes of combat kept me engaged
The scenes of the soldiers trying to get their benefits and some kind of psychiatric help were definitely moving as they are coldly placed on a waiting list
There's always a haunting feeling surrounding each scene in which the soldiers are dealing with their PTSD in the presence of their families,which pushed me to the edge of my seat.

Some scenes even though based on true events still felt a bit forced,cliched and predictable

This is one of the better films about war and the trauma that follows many in the armed services
This is a film that will definitely stay with me


Scale of 1-10 an 8



Geostorm




Disaster films have become so paint by number that I can predict every line and turn they will take
Geostorm definitely falls into the aforementioned but at least I thought some of the characters were fun and the SFX were pretty good as the story of a hacked weather controlled satellite system wreaks havoc on Earth.
I actually liked some of the scenes in which the characters attempt to put the pieces together of who the culprit is
There's some silly sibling rivalry and clunky romance thrown in but this will definitely make for a nice Saturday night rental......when the weather is bad and you dont feel like going out.

Scale of 1-10 a 6½

One of my favourites - the coach-top battle between Dracula and Van Hesling in the prologue is quite possibly my top scene in any Hammer film.

Nosferatu

One of my all time favorite classics. It's the only movie that still gives me nightmare fuel to this day.
10/10

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Still one of the most underrated and misunderstood horror film of all time.
10/10

Halloween (1978)

The movie that officially kicked off the modern day slasher flick. (unless you count Black Christmas or Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
10/10

Trick 'r Treat

Seeing it tonight, but it's THE movie to watch on Halloween that's not Carpenter's Halloween. If you haven't seen it still, you are doing yourself a disservice. See it Nao!
