Kazmac, you ever heard of or even saw The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne from '81 by any chance? Just stumbled upon that and it looks interesting and just got a good Blu transfer / re-release this year. Featuring Udo Kier.
Same goes for Buio Omega by Amato, you know that one? Shold be quite on the gory side..
Just asking since I'd like to get them but they're not on the cheap side (and Buio got a youtube release although I avoid those at all costs generally).

Was the first after the reboot? Yea, not my thing too. Felt like cheap entertainment ( sorry Huntn
) but the second could easily be even worse so tough choice if you ask me.
I have no idea why. So what if it rewrites the original Khan legacy? Before the reboot of this series, there has not been one Star Trek movie I deemed worthy of ownership.
I liked it also. I know there are a lot of folks who didn't like the whole Khan retelling, but I was entertained none the less.
There was one part that I didn't like and that was Spock yelling out Khan's name.
*Edit, spelled the Vulcuns name wrong!*

I can't say that it was my least favorite of the star treks.... I haven't seen them all, but I thought that it was enjoyable. Especially for those who had not been previously a fan of the show. It was a nice entry point for lots of younger people.
Kelly's Heroes (1970)- One of my favorite WWII movies, according to this trivia page based on an actual gold heist perpetrated by American and German officers. The heist based on the value of gold in 1944 made the value of the gold $196m not, $16m. For those of you who play WoT, the Sherman's were real, the Tigers were modified T-34s made to look like Tigers.

A very good flick, great people in it. I'm watching 'Ronin' for the second time, not a bad movie and I do like a Model 1911 handgun.
Was watching the internship but fell asleep and woke up to something i'd rather not wake up to. Oh how I hate cinemax.
Hopefully Ex Machina in a couple of hours if my coworker gets to the theater on time. If not, well, I've got plenty of Kung Fu to happily absorb.
Ex Machina - Phenomenal movie!!!
In the Houston Metro area, it appears to be limited release.
Not a bad film. I like the title song.
Just finished Layer Cake. Found it quite entertaining.
Robocop (2014)- I don't care for the changes they made to the story. Lacking the Verhoven touch, which includes dark humor and hokey villains, not as good as the 1987 movie of the same name. Peter Weller still holds the title of best Robocop. Michael Keaton as the head of OCP, the evil corporation had Ronny Cox's (Dick Jones) big shoes to fill and failed to come through. One improvement was the ED-209 Mech which has always rocked, but even that could have been better when Robocop fights them. Available to watch for free on Amazon Prime.

I personally think Star Trek 5 is worse. The reboots are not very good Star Trek movies, but at least they're watchable. STV is a chore to get through.

Most of the early Star Trek films felt like we got this TV show, what are we gonna do with that extra hour?
The Longest Day (1962)- Outstanding Memorial Day weekend fare, the invasion of Normandy!
What's interesting is that it looks like several scenes were filmed on location. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056197/locations
