Note: I haven't seen this movie in the last 17 years and I decided to rewatch it because I feel like watching a comedy. This movie is still great to watch and the humor holds up well. The movie has great acting and a good cast of characters. I like all of the characters and there is not a single boring moment in this movie. What makes this movie so funny is that the movie is a satire of 80s teen movies and pokes fun at the rebellion and revenge gone wrong stories that exist in those type of movies at the time.
I can't think of anything wrong with this movie other than some of the editing could have been better. Overall, this is a great movie if you haven't seen it yet. I highly recommend this movie.4 years, 10 months ago

Note: Another movie that I watched as a kid in the 90s, but I only remember the third segment of the movie with the killer doll. It's been so long since I have seen this movie, so I decided to re-watch it on Amazon Prime. It's not a great movie, but it is a lot of fun to watch. I thought the first story was pretty good, the second story was okay, and the last story was the best out of the three. The acting is not too bad for a 70s TV movie and I did like some of the characters. Also, the pacing was nicely done for a movie that is only 72 minutes long. It didn't go by too quickly or didn't go on for too long. Overall, this is a pretty fun movie to watch and I recommend it if you want to watch something short to watch.4 years, 10 months ago

Note: I never saw this movie until now after hearing about it over the years. I'm glad that I finally saw this movie because this movie is a pretty great movie. I love how dirty that this movie is because you feel and smell the dirtiness of this movie. Bubby himself and the house that he grew up in feels so gross and sleazy. I also love how the movie has a different point of view for every new place that Bubby went to because it made the movie feel very unique than most movies out there. The movie itself is a very good character study of someone who has been sheltered all of his life and how a person like him would react to the real world.
I also love how this movie will have deep and challenging questions to the viewer like the existence of God and if humans can be exploited by others. Overall, this is a great movie and I highly recommend it.4 years, 10 months ago

Note: Every June, I watch a LGBT movie for Pride Month and I decided to watch Chasing Amy on Netflix because it will be gone soon on Netflix. Chasing Amy is still a great movie and is easily one of Kevin Smith's best film. The movie has a great cast of characters and the movie did an amazing job on handing some really touchy subject matter. The humor is also great because this movie has many funny moments that always make me laugh. I highly recommend this movie if you haven't seen it yet. 4 years, 11 months ago

Note: I decided to rewatch this movie on Amazon Prime since I probably haven't seen this movie since 1995 when I was a little kid. This movie is probably my second favorite movie from Tobe Hooper next to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This movie has a really cool story, and awesome special effects for a movie released back in 1985. I always love the atmosphere in this movie because it does remind me a mix between Dawn of the Dead and Alien at times.
The story may not be anything award-winning, but I do love the creative take on Vampires in this film. The idea of space vampires that suck people's life force and not blood is a very cool and creative idea.
I also like all the characters because they are fun to watch, and they have their own set of personality to them. The acting in this movie is the weakest thing about this movie because the acting is a mixed bag. Some of the actors are pretty good while the others are really bad. Overall, I highly recommended this movie if you haven't seen it already.4 years, 11 months ago

Note: After re-watching Zombie, I decided to watch a Lucio Fulci movie this week from Monday-Sunday in honor of his birthday. The weakest movie in the Gates of Hell trilogy, but still a solid movie nevertheless. I personally love the dark, spooky and gothic atmosphere in the movie. The movie has you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I also love the set designs in the movie because they look fantastic. My biggest issue with the movie is that I do feel like the characters could have been better.
It would have been cool to have more backstory on the evil Priest. I recommended this movie if you are into horror movies or zombie films.4 years, 11 months ago

Note: For Lucio Fulci's birthday, I decided to watch Blue Underground's 4k Transfer. 40 years later, this movie is still amazing and watching the 4K transfer made me love this movie even more. I love the music, the atmosphere and the special effects that this movie has. The special effects are excellent for a horror movie released back in 1979. All of the zombies look so dirty and gross looking which is what I would imagine real zombies from the dead would probably look like. This movie has explicit violence and gore, and it's executed so well. Some scenes will make you want turn your head away from the screen. The special effects crew did an amazing job on creating awesome blood and gore.
The make up in this movie is also great and it was good enough to be nominated for a Saturn award back in the early 80s. The music is chilling and memorable for having a lot of great iconic music moments in the film. The atmosphere is fantastic for creating a suspenseful tone and capturing the feeling of summer time as well.
The story is pretty good, but it could have been written better at times. This movie does not have any social commentary like the George Romero Living Dead series does, but the movie's fun cast of characters makes up for it. Zombie also has great cinematography from Sergio Salvati and the underwater scenes look great.
Overall, I highly recommend this movie for anyone who loves horror movies or zombie movies. 4 years, 11 months ago

Note: I kept hearing some mixed things about this movie over the years, so I didn't bother to watch it for the longest time. After seeing The Void, Manborg and The Editor, I was eager to check it out now because I'm now a fan of Astron-6's work. This movie is a lot of fun to watch because the humor is great and the special effects are very good for a small budget movie. I love the large amount of blood and gore that this movie has because it feels so authentic that there was little to no CG in this movie.
The story does not make much sense, but that's the point. You don't watch Exploitation movies for the story or the acting. I also love the fun cast of characters because they all have a lot of personality to them. Another fun thing about the movie is that they put film grain and film scratches to make it feel old school. I could have easily seen this movie be release the around the same time as the original Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke 'Em High back in the 80s.
The only thing that I didn't like about this movie was the ending because it felt underwhelming. I highly recommended this movie for anyone who likes Exploitation films. 4 years, 11 months ago

Note: I decided to watch this movie after one of my friends recommended it to me. I went into the movie with no knowledge of the movie and I end up enjoying it. The movie was nothing groundbreaking, but I did like the story and characters. It was a very fun movie that capture the feeling of summer time during the early 90s. I also like the cinematography, the camera work, and the soundtrack that the movie had. The acting was also very good and Tim Chalamet did a great job as the lead role. This was also Elijah Bynum's first movie that he directed, and he did a good job for his first film.
The writing is the biggest issue with the movie because the movie has too many characters, and the romance in this movie could have been better. I also feel like the main character's motivation was never explained very well on why he was selling drugs.
Overall, Hot Summer Nights is a fun and relaxing movie to watch. I hope Elijiah Bynum will make more movies because I feel like he has a good future. I recommended this movie if you are nostalgic for the 90s or enjoy coming of age stories.4 years, 11 months ago

Note: I first saw this movie on TV back in the 90s when I was a little kid and I recently got the movie on Blu-Ray a while ago. This movie is still awesome and very underrated in my opinion. The movie has a very cool story and a fun cast of characters. Even if the story is not 100% original, the movie has a pretty good social commentary on the future that we are making for ourselves. The special effects are very good for a low-budget film and the gore is top-notch.
What I love about the movie the most is the atmosphere because they did a great job on making a gritty and dirty tone for the movie. The movie captures a pure dystopia future with everything feeling dark, dirty, and claustrophobic. Overall, I highly recommended this movie if you haven't seen it yet. 4 years, 11 months ago

Note: I'm not a Wes Anderson fan at all and I feel very indifferent toward the majority of his films. I decided to check out this movie after good things about it for over a year now. I love the stop motion and the art direction is fantastic. The dogs were quite enjoyable, but I didn't care for any of the human characters at all. They were flat and the main villain felt like another typical evil political villain in my opinion. I also felt like the movie was rather slow at time and the second act dragged on forever.
Another cool thing that I did enjoy about the movie was the cool references to Japanese pop culture like Akira Kurosawa, Godzilla, and classic anime like Astro Boy. If you like stop motion movies or Wes Anderson movies, you will probably enjoy this movie.4 years, 11 months ago

Note: I never heard of this movie until I saw an advertisement for it on DiabolikDVD over a day or two ago. So I decided to rent this movie from Amazon Prime and watch it without reading any reviews for it. I didn't think the movie was not as bad as people make it out to be. I did like the characters and the acting was decent. The story didn't make much sense, but I did like the atmosphere and some of the gory scenes. The special effects did look fake at times, and that's not always a bad thing. I can tell that the people wanted this movie to be a cheesy B movie and I take cheesy special effects over bad CGI.
The worst part about this movie was the black & white deceased celebrity monologue. They where really pointless and stupid that didn't need to be added in the movie. The ending also felt underwhelming as well. Overall, this was not a terrible movie. It was not good, but it was watchable. It's worth a rental if you are into B movies. 4 years, 11 months ago
