[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, this kind've freaks me out.  One of my chess cronies is being played by Cuba Gooding Jr. in one of those 'teacher saves the po' kids' movies.

Eugene kicked my butt over the board.

Ok...so, um...

Watching Man of Steel....

Now, I've never been a huge Superman fan, so maybe I missed some retcon stuff somewhere, but is this supposed to make sense?  Everyone's a clone or some nonsense.  Clone of half a skull that is quite simian I must say.

Recently saw Where Eagles Dare - Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood.

King Kong Escapes - English Trailer

Recently saw Where Eagles Dare - Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood.

That was a great action/spy film. I had no idea who the mole was.


I went to see Disney's Frozen yesterday. I thought it was their best musical ever.

I'm not going to say it's a GOOD movie.  But it's not as terrible as some make it out to be.  There is a lot of things in there I could draw from...

Recently rewatched Stripes and am rewatching Full Metal Jacket, just a little past halfway.  If there's a better movie drill instructor than R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, I'd like to know.

There can't be: before acting, he was a real Marine D.I.

A slow burn...I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'horror', more thriller.  If you can get past the low/no budget, it's actually quite a clever little slant on the norm.

I re-watched a couple of movies recently (it's been years since I last saw them, but found them online):

Brave New World
Scavenger Hunt

I also saw The Butterfly Effect (the abomination based on Ray Bradbury's short story).

A reminder to appreciate certain Scifi movies.

My brain works sometimes curiously.
This is a poster I only saw once in a video club some 30 years ago. It came back to my mind last week.
Never heard, never read about it.

The movie is from 1974. Without spoiling me, has someone anything to say about it?
The first links appearing in Google seem to indicate that it had no ending but it has now been revealed.
I'll probably try to watch it, it's been creeping in my head for too long. 

[Lord Avalon]

No idea. But it seems like it should have been on MST3K.

Recently rewatched Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

I actually remember seeing this movie on TV back when I was still a teenager.
Well, I remembered the sunset ending scene, and some of the measures and countermeasures between the ants and the scientists in the station, that's it.
