Loved the concept, and I can absolutely see myself buying this for the special features: a making of or a commentary track would do it. Unfortunately, the execution leaves a bit to be desired. The characters are barely people, and when the climax should be building the film starts to drag. I did like the ending, though.

Quotes:

You're acting like a little baby.

You're being annoying.

Guys do I have to pay for subtitles here.

Everything's weird underwater.

What the hell is that doing in a kitchen?

What kind of stuff were they filming.

Feels like the sort of movie you'd catch on a no-name TV station, at 2pm on a Tuesday in early October. Has a nice soundtrack and some solid Halloween decor, but overall it's a bit of a slog.

Quotes:

Halloween. My favourite day of the year.

Oh, this is going to be a weird night.

I feel a completely different sort of way about this movie every time I revisit it. It's such a bad Godzilla movie, but it's also such a fun, cheesy late 90s dino movie. Plus, a franchise is really only a franchise once it goes to space and New York, and this is s pretty decent ______ goes to NYC on the city side of things, all things considered. I don't love it, and I don't hate it, but if it wasn't over 2 hours long I could see it becoming a not-quite-guilty-pleasure.

Since they sequel bated this, what I really want is a throwback computer game to come out as a sequel in 2028. I'd take a movie, if doing this CGI justice didn't mean it had to be self aware. Bonus points if once you beat the game you could unlock a noir playthrough. That rain. . .

Quotes:

That was a footprint. I was standing inside of a footprint.

Sir, I think your story just walked by the window.

He's in there someplace.

You call this coffee?
I call this America.

I don't know what's going on.
You never know what's going on.
Thank you.

We need bigger guns.

I don't want any candy. Leave me alone.

Doesn't he need a mate?
Not if he reproduces asexually.
Where's the fun in that.

What is this the virgin lizard?

They mentioned you by name.

What's with the chewing gum?
Makes us look more American.

Look at this. He trashed the Garden. Now I'm pissed.

Wrong floor.

Where'd you find this guy?
He's from .

Not this way!
Not that way!

You gotta be kiddin' me, man. We're in his mouth! We're in his mouth! . . . You're going the wrong way, man. You're going the wrong way!

Purposely watched this prior to rereading the book or rewatching the original, (or watching the 2019 because I forgot about it), and with only a mild remembrance this is pretty solid. Some decent effects, and the score knew just what to do. That said, the story is fairly weak. It doesn't give enough to stand alone or establish a footing as necessary in the lore.

Quotes:

Chill is a societal ill.

Ludlow's Ludlow.

Only children tell the whole truth, but I'm not lying.

You know what you are? You're a hero without a cause. That's worse than a rebel without a cause.

You're bumming out the chickens.

Death is different here. Death is a gate to eternal life.

But believe me when I say, sometimes dead is better.

I think this is perfect up until they go to bed after the Halloween party. Not that I don't enjoy the last act sometimes it's hard to stay up to finish it rather than to tuck in when the characters do.

More Quotes:

Riting? Don't you mean lightning, Scoob?

Cadets advance to the rear. And step on it!

Like there's itchin in the kitchen.

There are so many of these now, that my curiosity got the best of me. Had I known it was Jim Carrey I wouldn't have bothered. He's not my sort of comedy. I'd have rather watched whoever controlled that 2010 Dr. Robotnik facebook troll play the role, but I didn't like the rest either. The fact that it's basically one big ad is weird, and the bar brawl was okay.

Quotes:

Must be rough being slow all the time.

Not in the mood to get probed.
You think you're worried? I'm not even wearing pants.

I was spitting out formulas while you were still spitting up formula.

I've gone ice fishing with Tom. He doesn't know how to make a bomb.

You just sit there and be you-seless

Ever wonder where your tax dollars are going.

Whoa. Where'd you learn how to drive?
Here. In this truck. It's happening as we speak.

The time for talking is over. It is time for pushing buttons.

Confidence. A fool's substitute for intelligence.

No more pushing people off buildings.
You know I can't promise that.

I'm a bit biased because I am essentially allergic to heat, so the ice world doesn't seem too bad. Plus, Nekron just had a bad mum. Feel like the focus on him instead of her was misguided. Once he killed her off, the world would have been fine. Maybe more people would wear proper clothes in that new ice world.
All in all, -sans the people- I rather liked the animation. No mater the time, Rotoscope is always one of my favourites, and it really is so different in every decade. It's just a shame that the story isn't particularly developed here.

Quotes:

The night's so dark. The jungle so thick. A bird couldn't find its own nest.

Don't hunt for death, boy. It finds us all soon enough.

Why do the living disturb the sleep of the dead.

Woman, I spit on peace. I spit on you.

Next time you present me with one of your little sluts, mother dear, I'll squash you like a bug.

You interest me.

Still a little too heavy on the set up for my blood, but I did enjoy the story. Some fun animation: the "Home Was Never Like This" sign, the dog shooting a flee, and the mass murder. Cute.

I think I like my 20s animation mix to be with the animators a lot more than with children. That said, the cat tail bat, mahjong, and the real cat were all a treat. The ending I'm torn on.

And Alice dreamed.

Interestingly animated, but rather dull. Felt much longer than its short runtime.

The first time I watched this I hated it. Which is likely because Douglas' voice irks me and our main character is so dumb. I didn't hate it this time, but I do still think it's sorta forgettable. It's the right sort of scifi for me, but done in entirely the wrong font.

Quotes:

Is that a promise?
Sorry, I'm not aware of that term.

Seymour Butts. Never get tired of that one.

Humour me with specifics.

That's right you're a left-brain word fetishist.

John chapter 9 verse 25.

You're right. Impossible. You're having a conversation with your television.

How do we know he's real?
He's pissing his pants. Is that real enough for you.

So where's your modesty around attack dogs?

There goes a thousand dollars.
Your shoes cost a thousand dollars?
That one did.

I'm being toyed with by a bunch of depraved children.

Wake up it's a fucking con.

I am extremely fragile right now.

I was drugged and left for dead in Mexico and all I got was this stupid shirt.

This review may contain spoilers.

I actually rather like the idea that faith is more abstract than religious iconography. That what you believe in most becomes the symbol that shields you, and showing a vampire being being burned with a dollar is such a simple, powerful way to illustrate that. That idea is too good for this movie.
This is mostly a vehicle for nude women to touch each other. Which doesn't do anything for me, but Sheridan has a fun smile.

Quotes:

She followed her bliss.

You're not going to hurt her.
Don't know that yet.

How would she know what I believe?

There's not much to say about this but it's a Chapa. Instead of going on vacation he has a helicopter, so it's a little different from the norm. Lots of close faces, bad sound, and incompetent kills.

Quotes:

Yeah I've been drinking tequila but I didn't steal your shit.

I like women. All of them.

Guess you haven't heard, Mexican's in.

There is an old saying on the street, every dog has a day.

You're not millionaires. You're maybe hundred thousandaires. You've got to stop spending money like that.

Japanese sword.

Definitely one to watch in a group. Not sure if the shooting or the dialogue was more absurd.

Quotes:

Is your dick hard? [Shoots him]

No disrespect will be tolerated.

Shut the fuck up, Zay, eat your biscuits.

I didn't get the name Milk because I fuck up.

Respect my titties.

I'm helping criminals destroy my neighbourhood

I still want you to bring the pizza rolls.

Who the fuck are you?
Britt-nay
Who the fuck is Britney?
It's actually Britt-nay
Why the fuck you saying it like that?

Keep your hands off my motherfucking mama.

I don't want to be this person, but I think the cornbread's burning.

Nah, I was there. It was a trainwreck. I ain't trippin.

I don't have a job! I lost it three months ago. Wanna know what I've been doing for the last two and half months for money? I've been fuckin. I've been fuckin hella bitches. 'Cause apparently good dick is hard to find.
Wh-what are you saying?
I'm saying the house you live in, the mortgage that's being paid, food on the table - All financed by my dick.

There's about to be a lot of dead motherfuckers then.

Thought black on black crime only happened after ten pm.

He's a big guy.
Can't stop a bullet.

I'm gonna be a mathematician.
No the fuck you ain't.

Disrespect will not be tolerated!

It's about to get real ugly in this bitch.

You killed my baby because you are insufficient.

Don't worry, grandma loves her babies.

No youtube tutorial on how to be a fucking drug lord.

The wraparound is a lady going 'I don't know what that means' 'how does that apply to anything' 'what do these have to do with each other' and a man responding 'people used to be weird, idk'. Which really sets the feel of this anthology. Some of these shorts could have been fine elsewhere, but together it's a mess. Would recommend watching Spiders of Doom - it's one of the shorts with a title card, so it's easy to find.

Quotes:

Great! Then you need to fuck a hooker!

I cant tell if these are historical or fictional narratives

I have no idea what I'm watching right now.

Go over there and get him!
No.

We have no frame of reference for what this is.

So, I hated this. A lot. But, it is very well done on the references. It pulls from everything. I'm begrudgingly giving it 2 stars for including so many things I enjoy in a movie-I-loathed's tone.

Quotes:

I'm a loser at home and a loser at work.

You think my muscles are big -thank you- you haven't seen my brain.

Snake clowns?

Must be nice to be happy.

Look who's bat.

The first few songs in this are fantastic. Can't imagine hearing Batty's rap and then being excited about humans, though. Also Crysta has wack taste in men. All her decisions are sus. That said, the environment plot is well done, the message is well received. This just needed way more Tim and some more Robin. They're who carried this movie. Wouldn't go out of my way to own the movie, but I'm tempted to buy the soundtrack for: Batty, Lizard song, and Toxic Love.

Quotes:

What a strange little bug.

Ope. Gravity works.

Aren't you little old to believe in human tales?

A human!
A tree!

If I'm gonna eat somebody it might as well be you.

Great! I've been shrunk by an amateur.

How many times a day I've got to threaten your life?

Humans can't feel anything. They're numb from the brain down.

I don't know what a recording is but I know what music is and that is not music.

Oh, this is gonna hurt.

All of the photo options for this being Cagney based is a bit misleading. This is a Darro picture. I've only seen a couple of his rolls from when he was an adult, but he played such a strong little-shit as a youngling. Pairs beautifully with Cagney, too, in the few they share.
This isn't one I'd be likely to sit down and choose to rewatch, but it's absolutely going in my folder of films for when friends ask for syllabus recommendations. Would make for a beautiful teaching aid.

Quotes:

You're not going to send my boy to no school.

Excuse me boss, I ain't no lawyer. I can't talk without thinking.

You getting yellow?
Nah. Just careful see.

I know you don't squeal.

Well, you can't get much happier than that.

I had such hopes for this one. It's Bela and Nat, and they did interact so I am happy with that. I just. The writing sucks, the choice to interrupt the story so regularly to remind us its being told by a corpse hurt the flow, and the quality of the copies on MGM+ and YouTube leave a bit to be desired. Still, it's Lugosi and Pendleton together so I can't hate it.

Quotes:

One hates to perform an autopsy on a beautiful woman.

Never knew a cop who didn't love to stand around and watch other people work.

There is an air of inquiry about you that immediately offends my deepest nature.

Who can ever be sure what's behind the mask.

To the rescue ma'am!

Still and all, if, if you was to get murdered and, and I was to find out whodunnit, it'd be kind of a break for me.

I wouldn't say that to you lady. Even if I knew what it meant.

I must tell you frankly, I have been easedropping.

Has no one arranged to silence you yet, Mr. Lee? What a pity.

What were you doing outside? You're supposed to be dead.

Obligatory it's too long, the ending is pretty lame, and it's really not a good adaptation of the book comments. Mostly though, I love this. Excellent atmosphere, beautifully shot, and such uncanny portrayals of the characters.

First Book: Catcher in the Rye

Quotes:

Don't worry mom. I know all about cannibalism. I saw it on TV.

I'd give my goddamn soul for just a glass of beer.

I love the little son-of-a-bitch. I'd do anything for him. Any fucking thing for him.

I'm the kind of man who likes to know who's buying their drinks, Lloyd.

You've always been the caretaker.

Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and trust in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a contract, in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a moral and ethical principal is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?

You've had your whole fucking life to think things over, what good's a few minutes more gonna do you now?

Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in! Gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!

The Girl is easily one of the characters I hate most from the 1920s. It's silent and I uttered the phrase, "she needs to shut up". Absolutely despised that character. Which hurts the whole a good bit. The sets and camerawork is fantastic, Lloyd is great, and the cop killed it.

Quotes:

Keep on being early every morning son and you'll either be president or a night watchman.

The idea of working in your shirt sleeves! Think of the shock to your customers _ women of culture and refinement.

Say, for five hundred dollars I'd climb to Heaven, an' hang by my heels from the pearly gates.

This was a choice I made, and I don't want to talk about it.

Creepy not crazy.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

This was far more engaging than I expected it to be. Was suggested as a background movie at the office, and I got zero work done when it was on. It was quaint at the start, but by that newborn song 13 odd minutes in I was hooked. The use of colour is fabulous.

Quotes:

That's Tommy Pickles he's the bravest baby I ever knowed. And that's Phil and Lil. Um. Well. They like worms. And I'm Chuckie. I'm not so brave, but that's okay.

But, you try finding good yak these days.

Do you really think a baby is a gift from a Bob?

In my day a woman just dropped her baby in the potato field and kept going.

She's having the baby not a build-a-fish

You guys help me pick one my mom will like.

Excuse me, bro, my tax deductions are crying.
You can't deduct them if you haven't got any income!

What's a train doing in the middle of the forest?

I'm a park ranger not a knight of the round table!

Hey, you stupid diaper bags!

I didn't know she could fly.
I think it's because she's a witch.

You've got the Pickle spirit son. Maybe not the brains, but the spirit.

Everything good I wanted to watch was either over 2 hours long or something I'm saving to watch with someone, so I figured I'd do the second one of these prior to heading off to work. It is world's better than the first. Which isn't saying much, but I am surprised at how much I didn't hate it. A lot of that had to do with Victor, but I also enjoyed the silly Gargamel magic in this one. Two stars may be high, but I feel like it deserves double the original, so we're grading on that curve.

Quotes:

Wait, how is her hair still dry.

How dare you. How dare you call me 'yo'.

Deeply, deeply disappointing experiments.

I'm on a dark, lifeless planet that smells like corn dogs.

Sorry, mister, your face got in the way.

They're little blue aliens trying to steal our faces.

Le Bingo.

Truth itches doesn't it.

No like leaking.

I'd be completely nauseated if this wasn't the happiest moment of my life.

This was a delight. I was worried at the start, but it's beautifully acted and has such a solid, subtle score. Took me a moment longer than I'd care to it to clock it as a Louis L'Amour, though. That said, taking Killkenny and making it a Black Jack Ketchum story is such an odd choice. He was a real person and Lance Kilkenny he was not. Thankfully, they don't call him Black Jack too often, and Tom is such a common name, that I could easily side step that choice. Could see it being a problem for some, though, if you're really into the novel or that period of American history. I like both, but I'm not a stickler so I was able to happily sink into this.
Surprised to see it's easy to find on dvd, too.

Quotes:

Can't meet strange people when I look a fright.

He said 'if he comes back'.
Maybe that's the difference between an amateur and a professional: the professional knows they can only make one mistake.

Our man is right in front of us and you're thirsty?
We've gone without no sleep, and hardly no grub, but I don't intend to go without no water.

No gun? No horse? What good are you?

All cats look the same in the dark.

Back down or reach.
You're an idiot!
He was reaching.

He bought all the guns and ammunition in town.

Didn't you hear me I said you was yellow?

Biggest word in the language: if.

The best killer money could buy.

A different sort of tornado Tuesday brought to you by Cinevault. I'm not the biggest on singing westerns, but I do have a soft spot for Dub Taylor. Full of fights, songs, and a golden plot, but fairly standard in its hour long b-western execution.

Quotes:

You've been itching for this, and K aim to please you.

Bring enough bracelets for all of us?

Not what you'd expect from a Bela, Boris, and Lorre photoplay, and I rather enjoyed that. I likely would have liked it more had it be standard fair, but the big band comedy aspect was quaint and mostly enjoyable. I'm a sucker for spooky houses full of secret ageways and suspicious séances though.

Quotes:

What a beautiful spot for a murder.

I'm in love with her.
You are, Chuck?
Yeah.
And who is she in love with?
Me.
Then you protect her.

Clothes are no good to a dead man.

Well, I can't control lightning.

Listen, one man handles our legal affairs because he's a lawyer. You manage our business because you're a manager. But this is a matter of keeping my skin whole and, brother, you're no taxidermist.

If you ever catch me near a secret again don't argue with me - slug me.

Ish, I wish I had known you when you were alive.

Well, if I have to die I'd rather do it in bed.

In a house like this I don't want to be alone unless I have plenty of people around me.

Theme song is Zombeez by Nik Flagstar and His Dirty Mangy Dogs.

Cheesy b movies are usually more fun when they're not meant to be cheesy b movies. This has a plethora of references and an abundance of bee dialogue and decorations that makes it feel like it was intended to be that way. There are still bits, though, where it seems like everyone is having fun, and the director/star does seem to have put a lot of heart into it. Which makes it not an awful time.

Quotes:

Are you here to sell insurance?

Have you ever done a bee-topsy before?
Of course.

What in the Beelzebub?

How does Thor, god of ganja, hold the key to our little beepocolypse.

Payback is a beeotch.

Stick your fingers in my face again and I'll shoot them off.

This gets two points from me. One because I had a laugh at the other characters checking their watches during Diane's big, dramatic speech, and then again at Dresden just popping up; though, that second point mostly just goes to Dresden in general. Overall, rather lax on the disaster. Very Asylum - rooms full of screens.

Quotes:

Mention Star Wars.
Star Wars like the movie?
No.

If our enemies knew Star Wars exist, they could use it to destroy the world.

I don't think we have any better ideas.
Nobody asked you.

This software was not engineered with earthquakes in mind.

Sometimes you just know the answer. You don't have to wait for the math to catch up.

This was quaint. Solid Lloyd and some beautifully illustrated title cards.

Quotes:

Surfing sunfish! Girl pirates!

Walk the plank.
I don't think it's safe.

I don't like Destoroyah. They're mad proud of how he looks in all his evolutions, and they should be, but he's so 90s goofy to me. His look paired with our lead scientist being someone who failed out of uni juxtaposed with the story and effects in Godzilla overheating is too much. The Godzillas' story - great, tragic. But you could get whiplash between it and the 90s cartoon feel of freeze-rays and Destoroyah. Had it swayed one way or the other I could have sunk my teeth in more, but it's nearly an even split between the two tones.

I think this is Megumi's last Godzilla that's not a doc or a short, though, and the ending of her arc is very well done. Ten years of one character. What a ride but I'm glad to be putting Miki behind me next Monday.

Quotes:

The water. It seems to be eating away at the fish!

That's what I would like. An ordinary life.

You're crazy. It's preposterous.

Let's go freeze that overgrown lizard. This is going to make my day.

I have a feeling this is going to be Godzilla's last fight.

What a monster.

What radioactivity.

This is one I wish were longer. It's a bite sized introduction to a wonderfully interesting bit of animation history. Has a decent balance between animation shots and interviews. It just doesn't dive deeply, and I suppose you can't fault it that with an under an hour run time.

I'm not a Freudian, so this became nothing more than a curiosity rather early on. Diving into the mind of someone whose understanding of reality is so fundamentally different than your own is interesting, but I can't say I enjoyed this experience. Such boggling takes on some of my favourite movies.

Quotes:

Desire is a wound of reality.

I think that flowers should be forbidden to children.

When fantasy disintegrates you don't get reality.

Honestly surprised I made it all the way to June without rewatching this.

We don't know who's shooting off canons but we know who's shooting off their mouth.

It doesn't say anything. You've got to read it.

Clues:
• Go outside, then look for the part of the house with its knee out.
• You're near the family jewels than before. A broken key unlocks the next door.
• Look for a relative who is quite old, whose face cannot look, and whose hands cannot hold.
• What does this clock lack besides a tock?
• Don't look any higher. Think what you are when you're not the buyer.
• Look for a kind of stone you wear as a hat.
• You're nearing the end of this obstacle course. If you go buggy, you won't need a horse.
• Think how you are feeling when you are not sick.
• At the end of the tunnel, there are many more pearls and many more perils.
• There's no mystery for this clue. In Bear Cave, the jewels are in plain view.
• Go to a place that covers the tide and pier inside.
• No more riddles, here ends the chase, the treasure is in the fireplace.

This was obviously supposed to be a satire. They try to make it philosophical, but the only person involved that touched philosophy, slept through their Intro to Philosophy course. It is so mindnumbingly boring. There isn't an iota of comedy nor commentary in it. It's so detached and uninteresting.

I don't like you. This is a problem. Goodbye.

Why don't we just eat some cheese, do molly, think it over.

I feel like had they not made this a Hannibal movie it could have been a spectacular thriller. But they did, so it's just ungodly stupid. That said, there is 100% fanfic about this Hannibal.

I'm torn. I didn't know Manhunter existed until a few days ago, and in many ways it is much better than this. Particularly, in the first half. But on the other hand, this has always been my favourite of the Hannibal movies. I like this Dollarhyde much more - he doesn't feel like he just needs a hug. I'm not sure which is a better adaptation of the books, I've not read them since I was little, but it is weird to feel like one is a better movie but definitely not enjoy it more. Probably still my favourite Hannibal movie; even if it's not the best made version of this tale.

Quotes:

I let him kill me.

I think we'll remove Dr. Lecter's toliet seat, as well.

Do you want to know what I am?
More than anything. I was afraid to ask.

Yeah, but now I have a serious marshmallow jones.

Starting to feel like my choice to watch the movies to kill my urge to fail at watching the TV show was a pipe dream. I made it less than half way through this and bought all the books. I'm going to finish these and still try to tv, and make it all of maybe one episode with Mads before losing focus. Would have been easier to just do that instead. As far as this goes, it's less subtle than Silence, and more involved than Manhunter. I actually rather enjoyed it.

Quotes:

I don't consider psychology a science.

When I speak to you you'll know it, because I'll look at you.

Nobody beats the Riz.

He preferred to eat the rude. "Free-range rude" he called them.

What the hell are you doing sitting there in the dark?

What are you doing writing a book of catching a crook?

Let the damage he sees suggest the damage he can do.

Cocksucker.

Can you walk?
I can try.

If you trust me, I will shoot you.

It's not very good, buddy.

I came half way across the world to watch you run, Clarice. Let me run, huh?

If this knew when to end it might have been charming in how absurd it is, but it doesn't. Which is among many things this movie doesn't know how to do. Had it just been a short film of the alien plot this could have been so-bad-it's-good, but we get so much more that's so much less.

Feels like this was meant to be softcore, but they had to edit it down for some reason. The Naschy werewolf stuff was as fun as always, but a little too few and far between.

Wolfman: Yes
Transformation Scene: Yes

Quotes:

As long as I .

To Elizabeth keeper of the big chest.
Big treasure chest.

Guess those old legends really get around don't they?

The werewolf's out there and we're in here so won't you please -

Be happy. Be pretty. Just be.

This review may contain spoilers.

I spent the majority of the movie trying to determine if anyone was a good guy in this interpretation of the original, non-ninja, movie. My determination is no, but the guy who got addicted to drugs and molested was the closest.

To : Necklace, slapstick rapists, possibly dead stuntman

Quotes:

Born a ninja. Die a ninja.

Remind me to never do you any more favours.

Hey bub we came here for business.

Please forgive me there's nothing I can do.

I think they know our plan.
Those bitches.

I'm just here for those CGI demons.

Quotes:

His name is Marcus Caine. Mark it down you punk ass bitch.

Close your mouth something smart might fly out of it.

Snipers are best with knives. Think of the ammo you'll save.

I'm so over these little bedtime stories.

If you're here to surrender I'll be incredibly disappointed.

You're still only a man.

I'm not afraid.
We'll see.

Give the old man my regards.

I'm dead, aren't I?

Should have gone popcorn action instead, because this was rough. About the only thing I liked was the blue moon. It was a very pretty moon.

Someone has finally given me what I want.

Been sick and miserable and wanted something dumb to watch. This hit the spot. It's overly popcorn, but not nearly as annoyingly nostalgia baity as I expected.

Quotes:

So let's blowup Google.

You should sell that at Barnes and Unstable.

Have you been playing Space Invaders a lot lately?
Yeah. How'd you know that?
Because you're invading my space. Back up.

High score you alien trash!

She's got ghosts.

Pac-Man is not bad! I created him to bring joy to all the people of the world. They have brainwashed him! Deep down, he's kind, gentle. Someone you can tell your troubles to or grab a hamburger with. You'll see.

So much blood.

Don't tell anyone I killed a smurf.

I ought to love this. It is one of my favourite types of found footage, and I wish I could appreciate the way it builds. But I can't, because I did not believe nor did I like Logan, and this entire piece is dependant on how you view her performance. She seems to have acted the role she was given, so it's probably a writing or direction thing. Either way, it did not work for me, at all.

Quotes:

I'm god.
Yeah you are.

Great I'm in it. Can we go?
This is the star.

I don't notice a lot of things.

It came from the Earth. Out of the mud. It called to me. I didn't answer.

King Lear is my favourite Shakespeare, but Macbeth is my favourite of his for adaptations. It allows for so much creative license that from the likes of Jimmy Neutron to this you can't really do the play any wrong. And this leaves out the character I enjoy the most, but I'd also have cut her for something like this.
Not at all what I expected it to be, because I found this in Arrow's found footage section, and it is very much not found footage. At all. In the slightest. Not one iota of found footage. I did rather enjoy it, though. It feels like something you'd have stumbled upon in a Shakespearen horror movie pack - had such a thing been common when movie packs were. I'm definitely going to buy it because it reminded me of a type of horror I genuinely enjoy and rarely visit these days. Takes a bit to get rolling, but they did a good job.

Quotes:

It's so rural.

You should never ever whistle in a theatre.

Someone has to pour.
Yes, and someone has to drink.

Whoa. This storm makes me horny.

Just taking off my face. Ok?
Don't take off too much. I like it the way it is.

You don't mix up William Shakespeare.

I don't want to embarrass you.
Oh, dear, we're able to embarrass ourselves quite capably without aditional help.

You might be a good actor, but you're a consummate asshole.

He just got some crazy-assed kind of theatrical penicillin.

Might I suggest a lighter touch with the gin.

The wind.

Perhaps a cup of tea.
Na-na-no. Scotch. I'm thinking scotch.

Even the randiest of roosters much nap occasionally.

[Screams] Oh my God! Oh my God! Penis!

You have managed to awaken an elderly man from s very pleasant sleep. Is there no bottom to the pit that is your cruelty?

Perhaps they do live on. Inside the play.

Think they introduced Chute too early in this and not well. She shows up out of time, giving her opinions in a way that pulls focus oddly. Feels like padding and derails what was otherwise a well paced documentary. I'm glad there's a lot about his other works in here, and not just Maus, because he really has had such an interesting career.

When I met Art he was a master and nobody one else knew it. That was the basis of my, my love and then my life. That, my god, this guy is amazing. And isn't it incredible that the world is not paying any attention.

When they want to do 12 hours of movies, and you need to end on a perfect watch, Clue is the safest bet. It'll tie in to everything. Even if you watched: a silent comedy from 1928, a 2001 horror, a weird 70s porn, a dinosaur movie, a Sidaris, and some Lovecraft - Clue has got it in the bag. Honestly, I just love this movie.

All endings.

Some Quotes:

Why is the car stopped?
It's frightened.

I buttle sir.

I enjoy getting presents from strange men.

Flies are where men are most vulnerable.

Two corpses everything's fine.

I know because I was there.

It's rare for me to like a remake more; especially if the og has Combs in it, but this is a case where I do. There's so much more of the universe lore in this one. And I utterly loathe John, so his drunk driving is just par for the course. I wish it had done better, because I'd love to see where this franchise would have gone. But it didn't, so we won't, and that's a shame. It really has heart, and I love the ending.

Quotes:

I always have an open mind and I rarely have limits.

Push the lizard agenda.

People in the market for old castles usually have eccentric tastes.

I wish you could see this.
Really? Me too. So funny.

It's just a bunch of old religious crap.

Nice sheets [no sheets]

I guess you're not much of a castle girl.

Sounds like a view.

It feels red to me.

I like rich American. They really know how to party.

Relax, smuggling coke is easy.

1929, what a year.

What's he got that we don't?
Castle.

Best strategy is the element of surprise.
