STill been watching movies that I missed in 10 years. Watching a lot slower than I would like, and I have been feeling nostalgic and instant watching some old stuff.
From January to now
The Horsemen - 3 stars - This follows the Seven Template but is quickly solved by the viewer - Pass
Collapse - 2 stars - This is a doc from a journalist that presents his ideas on the collapse of the modern world. Very very ego centric and half trues - Total Pass
A/k/a Tommy Chong - 4 stars - Doc about what happened to comedian Tommy Chong after being targeted by the "War on Drugs" - Stream/on Demand
Lo - 4 stars - A man looses his girlfriend to a demon so he summons another demon to get her back. Funny and entertaining. - Solid Watch
Dorian Gray 2009 - 2 stars - Adapted from the story "Portrait of Dorian Gray" Bypasses most of the character dev from the book and concentrates on the evils of Dorian. Great train wreck of characters and settings. - Total Pass
Fetishes - 2 stars - Doc about a Dom service in New York to see what kind of people becomes submissive. One interested person in this and that is the guy in the maid uniform that is extremely articulate. Other than that lots of cliches and the usual fair that you think a femme dom is like from movies and TV. - Total Pass
Martial Arts Master: Live of Bruce Lee - 2 stars - Pass
Kings of Pastry - 4 stars - Follow a Pastry chef as he participates in the French Competition for the collar. If you like watching the food channel you will enjoy this - Solid Stream
Ponyo - 3 stars - Story of a boy that meets a fish and the fish becomes a girl and almost destroys the world. I have given every Miyazaki film a 5 star BUY except this one. Watch it as a completist otherwise - -pass.
Sword of Valiant - 3 stars - Old movie based on the poem of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This is kind of a trippy movie with Sean Connery as the Green Knight. - Stream
The Keep - 4 stars - Set in WW2 we see Nazi soldiers controlling an ancient keep where some weird stuff starts to happen. If you liked Prince of Darkness you might like this one too. Just a touch of Mythos in it. - Solid Watch.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age - 4 star - This is a polished Oscar movie. Well acted and great scenery. - Watch for the Drama
Sunshine - 4 stars - Astronauts restart the Sun. The characters are annoying throughout save one. The music was great and the imagery great. Odd change into a horror movie near the end ruins the feel though. Scratch the 4 stars, its now a 3 star. - Stream/ On Demand
Monster - 3 star - Woman finds love and decided to change her life but takes the wrong path. A little too long and everything ends up as you think it would. - Pass
Milk - 4 stars - Story about Harvey Milk's life and work for gay rights. Very well acted and solid movie 3 act set up. - Solid watch
The Last Lovecraft - 3 stars - Comedy in the Mythos world where the last of the Lovecrafts bloodline must insure that the dark ones remain locked away. I was hoping it was funnier but it seem to pull its punches in a lot of places. Makeup effects are great. - pass
I got more movies to watch now. Need to say away from the Documentaries and waste that time with bad movies.
