I Spit on Your Grave (1978)

The first half of this was pretty hard to watch because it's pretty much one long rape scene. Once you get past that it becomes a pretty decent revenge film. I know it's a very low budget film but man the acting was pretty terrible.

Prometheus is a movie filled with adults, professionals (scientists even!) that just run around the whole time behaving like teenagers in a slasher flick. It was boring, formulaic, and filled with uninteresting characters that I couldn't have cared less about. My biggest problem with the movie though, is that like Predators from a couple of years ago, I feel as though Prometheus is ultimately just doing a very poor impersonation of a much, much better movie.

Having said that... maybe it was the handful of decent scenes in the movie, maybe it was the interesting concepts they were playing with, or maybe it's just that it has ties (tenuous as they may be) to other movies that I really love and care about, but I did enjoy the movie to a certain degree.

Played out as the "ancient aliens" idea is, I'm a sucker for it, and I like that's the direction they went with the Engineers. I loved the mystique of the Engineers, and I hope they get explored further if any sequels are made. The pregnancy scene was great. It was the one genuinely tense part of the movie. Though the squid baby looked fake (and stupid) as hell. So yeah, it wasn't a total stinker and while I understand people (myself included) were disappointed with it, I really don't see a reason for it to receive the kind of it has.

Overall, I found Prometheus to be an exceedingly dull and oftentimes sloppy movie that I somehow managed to enjoy despite itself. I have the suspicion that a stronger movie (even if only slightly) exists somewhere on the cutting room floor, so I look forward to checking out a potential extended cut.

3/5

3/5

Ridiculous yet hilarious.

Hercules, that should make me like it

I'm still surprised at myself for giving it that high of a score but it was pretty damn funny in a ******ed kind of way.

Or maybe it'll be another "Meet the Spartans"

It's not exactly like those spoof films. It's really dumb and cheesy but it doesn't just throw a bunch of pop culture bs at you.

Night of the Creeps 7/10

This is the first time I saw this cult classic. It's not great but the special effects are good for low budget and it has likeable characters. Notably Tom Atkins as the sarcastic sheriff.

Did you catch hints of Zimmer's Batman music in there?

Prometheus

Still like it. I love what they did with the Jockeys, introducing the goo, etc, I'm on board with all of it. I'd missed Fifield's attack in the theater, boy was it violent, not sure how they intended to get that through the MPAA.
