I watched with a coat over my head frequently, taking wary peeks. 😬🤭

I truly need to stop buying certain movies and just rent. Very glad I cancelled the blu ray order of 3 From Hell, though I wish I would have rented the digital instead of buying it.
Too many years have gone by for Rob Zombie to continue the tales of his crazy killer clan the Firefly and this wound up being a weak retread of The Devil's Rejects.* Outside of Dee Wallace, no one else could match Bill Moseley in this movie (and Bill was playing a weary, kind-of-tired Otis).
*For an unrated version we see a lot of post-action gore, but not during. I think the edits were purposely done not to show violence much violence happening to women, but what do I know?
That said, I do hope that Rob does another original film with Bill Moseley and Dee Wallace.
Oh well.

Goldfinger (1964)- Miami, Switzerland, Kentucky, Fort Knox, although they used a mockup of the the Ft Knox building near Pinewood Studios, England. After that outstanding fight on the train in FRWL, the fighting in this movie was a bit shabby. They needed a better stunt coordinator. But I like the gadgets, the spiffed up Aston Martin, lasers, Goldfinger, Oddjob, and ***** Galore. The ending was a bit weak, a blown out window does not cause a jet to go into an uncontrollable dive, they made it way to easy to get out of that plane, and apparently all it took was a jump in the sack wth James to sway Ms Galore to betray her boss. He, not Goldfinger has the midas touch. 😘 😉

I can't watch most scary movies. What's weird is I've been in physically life threatening situations a few times and not thought much about them later, probably because they obviously had happy endings.
But movies are another thing... heck for a long time I couldn't even get myself to start watching Free Solo, the docu of Alex Honnold's climb of the 3000' Dawn Wall face of El Capitan... and something told me National Geographic wasn't going to have been pitching me a snuff film. Even so it took me weeks to watch it, ten minutes at a time.
I’ve watch films of people free climbing and think it and possibly they are insane. 🥶 I used to repel and climb, but with ropes, harnesses, gears and brakes. The deepest cave was close to 300’ deep descending into a large, deep, black hole.I can't watch most scary movies.

Thanks for the mini review, I'm currently thinking about whether I should buy the film or rent it. Since I have the two previous installments in my shelf I kind of sort of want to blind buy 3 From Hell, just to have them all, then again the reviews I've been hearing have been all over the place so that gives me some pause.
Important life decisions to be made, it seems.
"How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World". Another decent addition to the storyline.
Toy Story 4 (2019)- originally posted this in wrong thread. It was ok, the same production values I expected from this franchise, but the story was a bit stretched imo. I’m glad Bo became an independent feminine toy. Forky was great. And Woody finally figures out where his heart is.
I was confused at the beginning because I remembered all of the toys ending up at Bonnie’s at the end of Toy Story 3. What I forgot was that BoPeep had been written out of Toy Story 3, which makes the flashback at the beginning of this movie make sense.

Why was Bo Peep written out of Toy Story 3?
Answer (1 of 8): The in-universe explanation is that she was given away to a new owner, as eventually shown in detail in Toy Story 4. As for the real-world explanation, the writers remembered that even though Andy liked to use her as the “damsel in distress” in his games with Woody, she technica...

Watched - "The Dark Tower" a few days ago - enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would - read a few of the first books and found the books confusing so was wondering how they would be on film - well done and enjoyed it

That was why I bought it.
Sid barely has two minutes in it. Richard Brake is no substitute. Sheri Moon Zombie was particularly bad and the story is mostly Baby-centric (Dee Wallace saved the scenes they shared together).
My main thought, I'll pretend it was never made.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971) - Haven't seen this in eons and had such a great time. I loved the mix of animation (Happy Hedorah! 😂) and various nods to psychedelic things/counterculture.
Unfortunately, TCM host was trying too hard to apologize for no budget Toho men-in-rubber-monster-suits which annoyed me. Just let it be, and if viewers cannot roll with classic kaiju business, so what?
Bummed I couldn't stay awake for Rodan or especially Sugar Hill (I haven't seen that in a very long time too, and just realized Robert Quarry was in it).
Oh well. Starting to look more and more like a rental then. Bummer, the horrible Halloween films notwithstanding Zombie has shown some good potential as a filmmaker. Never really been a fan of Sheri Moon Zombie, but Dee Wallace always piques my interest. The fact that Sid's involvement is that minor just feels like the last nail in the coffin for this one.
Shame, really, as there was at least a little bit of potential for a good film here. Not necessarily a film that was needed in the first place, but still.
Hostiles [2018]
Quick Synopsis:
A Really captivating movie, well directed and one of the better endings I’ve come across. Christian Bale plays a soldier who has to transport an Indian chief/family members back to their tribal land across the US. In doing so, they encounter rivalries and other endeavors. Rosamund Pike‘s character joins the journey when her family is brutally murdered.
Anyways.....
First and foremost, and outstanding musical score to boot. Christian Bale always delivers, so there’s not really much surprise there. Rosamund Pike’s (She was in Jack Reacher, Gone Girl) character I think was well played, I don’t see enough of her in movies, but I do think she did a great job in this role.
More than anything, you can kind of see the diversity in this movie how Indians were not really favored during this time frame, but you get to see firsthand Indian culture, and the shot scenery is absolutely stunning in this movie [Much of which was filmed in Santa Fe, but portrays Montana fictionally.]
I think the whole cast in this movie really is what made this a complete project, it kind of shows you how hard life was back then, and the divisions between Indians and the white culture. I thought the execution of this movie was top notch. Watch it, you won’t regret it.

Watched "The Dead Don't Die" last night. This is a very meta comedy/horror movie that takes great pride in destroying the 4th wall. This is not great cinema, but it was an amusing film, with a cast full of people who were obviously in it for the fun of making it. Worth a watch.
The Shining(1980)
Been a long time since I’ve watched this one. First time in HD. Every frame is menacing. Masterpiece in filmmaking.

Outstanding movie, a piece of cinematic art, although I preferred some aspects of the book that were changed. Halorran did not die, and there was the aspect of the furnace blowing up, which was corrected in the remake, a mini-series n TV approved of by King. Yet, it’s hard to be competitive with Jack Nicolson.The Shining(1980)
