One of my favorite lines of the movie... ;D I need to upgrade my vhs of this one. Haven't watched it in forever. Not sure about the R1, but the 'AB' UK DVD of "Haethers" is now at a nice budget price. "Red Dawn" - Far better than I remembered. Lots of well done, big budget, 80's action as well. It was also far less silly and gung ho, and far bleaker and serious than I remembered. Nice suppport cast of adults to back up the up and coming youngsters as well (Ben Johnson, Powers Boothe, Harry Dean Stanton and William Smith speaking fluent Russian!) |

Death Rage- A worthy Yul Brynner action/thriller.

House by the Cemetery: Classic Fulci, and the last of his masterworks. Trades overt gore for a more suspenseful take than normal, which results in many creepy scenes. Gets more understandable as time goes on, so repeat viewings are necessary to understand it. Not Fulci's best, but I'll call it Top 5 of what I've seen. 9/10
The Dead Next Door: I must be a zombie fix, as that's all I've been watching recently. Nice gory romp that tries something new with zombies: gives them a religious following that tries to protect them. Amateurish effects aside, I had fun with this long lost classic. 9/10.

Life And Death Of Peter Sellers - good, and Geoffrey Rush is very convincing, but I expected more; why, for one, so little screen time for Kubrick?

Man Sellers was a brilliant actor but a dick in real life....I loved all the scenes that demonstrated his dedication to method acting (like for his character in Dr.Strangelove...) Probably little time for Kubrick cause there was SO MUCH craziness to just fit into one little movie. |

"Red Dawn" - It was also far less silly and gung ho, and far bleaker and serious than I remembered. Another great one....Scared the shit outta me when I watched it as a teen...kinda like The Day After. Had nightmares for days. Watched this week: Kindred:The Embraced Disc 2 Constantine 2/4Pretty good...a bit slow in some places, but overall I like it. |

WAYNE'S WORLD (1992) Part on Wayne! Party on Garth! Excellent! ;D 8/10 After seeing, or should say while watching The Graduate, I immediately recognized the spoof that Wayne's World 2 did on the wedding scene. I actually thought that was original.  |

I think these have dated REALLY badly. "Bill and Ted" have gaged far better. |

I think these have dated REALLY badly. "Bill and Ted" have gaged far better. Still funny! The "sponsors scene", ie; Doritos, Pepsi, etc. is hilarious and probably even more relevant today. The T-1000 (Robert Patrick) from T2 cameo is brilliant! And many other funny bits that still cracked me up. Didn't really care for Part 2, though. Personally, I've never sat through all of BILL & TED. The twenty minutes or so I saw of the first one didn't really do anything for me. |
