I watched Clive Barker's Nightbreed last night. Not very good, but I also didn't enjoy Hellraiser, so there you go.

Twitch posted:I, Frankenstein is probably the funniest movie I've seen all year. One of the first scenes is a montage of Frankenstein doing martial arts training in the woods. And of course, he wears a trench coat and fingerless gloves through most of the movie. It's like a worse Blade/Underworld sequel. Honestly, I don't understand how it actually got released, other than that had already spent the money so they might as well release it and see what they can recoup. Also, to the guy who mentioned Brick Mansions before, wow, that was incredibly poorly acted movie. I like Bobby Digital and all, but goddamn if RZA is not movie cancer. In theme with my comments above regarding I, Frankenstein, Brick Mansions seemed like a terrible District B13 sequel.

The Vosgian Beast posted:He did do the soundtrack to Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai, which is a pretty great movie. Exactly. He is awesome as a memeber of Wu-tang and otherwise making music (he and GZA also did the soundtrack for Kill Bill, if I remember correctly), but if he is acting in it, you can basically just write the movie off. Example: The Man with the Iron Fists.

Pretty terrible in its own right, but I feel like with a Steven Seagal movie you know what you are getting in to. "I'm going to take you to the bank, Senator Trent... the blood bank."

If you've never given Peep Show a shot, I highly recommend it. It takes an episode or two to get going, but the third season forward is 100% gold. In the same vein (i.e. British Television), Black Adder is pretty good (the second season in particular), if a little more high brow.

Just watched Chef, which I highly recommend. I like Jon Favreau's work generally, but this one was particularly good about not falling into tropes, etc. Very positive (if not a little bit unrealistic), especially if you are going through a transitional part of your life.

Puddin posted:All this talk of Babadook makes me remember that when i first saw it, I just wanted to steal my movie buff friends phone who loved the movie and make the ringtone the scratching and the Babadook-dook speech, then ring him at like 2am. My girlfriend gets incredibly upset with me when I whisper "BaBa-dook-dook-dook as she is falling asleep. Totally worth it though.

I was freaked out by Jurassic Park when I was that age, so you are looking at some pretty extensive therapy bills if you do it. Totally worth it though.

Rolo posted:They just added Transformers: Age of Extinction, and I have to say, this movie sucks so bad it's ridiculous. They have a guy carry around a card in his wallet validating the legality of his underage relationship, and between him and the yellow car, I couldn't understand 40% of the speech in the movie. I just watched this last night and completely agree. Also. It seems like it went through several re-writes, as the editing and storylines do not mesh together well at all; plot lines are picked up and dropped randomly, new characters are added and then forgotten, and the "transforming" aspect is of little to no value to the movie itself. In a word: trash. It frankly amazes me that this is one of the highest grossing movies of all time (seriously, go look it up; domestic sales were lackluster, but it killed internationally).

wormil posted:I stumbled across an HBO series on Amazon called Hung, about a down and out basketball coach with a big penis. I watched 2 episodes expecting it to be a comedy but strangely it's not. What's the skinny, worth watching? The 2 eps I watched were okay but the series seems very predictable. First two seasons are alright, third season takes a nose dive and then it got cancelled. Not worth putting in the time.

jodai posted:W/ Bob and David is on Netflix. I've only watched a few episodes but there are some very funny sketches and they all weave together just like Mr. Show. I really like sketch comedy, but never really liked Mr. Show. Unfortunately, it is the same with W/ Bob and David. It's just... too over the top, and the laugh track (live audience, whatever) is too in your face. Different strokes, etc.

Captain Lavender posted:I actually loved A Very Murray Christmas. It's getting mixed reviews and a lot of people say it's lacking a "Christmas Spirit", but I think it's there. I think it's kind of aimed at a lonely Christmas type. In my 20's I spent several Xmases by myself, and the tone of this really hit me the right way. Scrooged is easily the superior Murray Christmas movie.

coyo7e posted:It was pretty obvious that most of the footage was edited to provide a better plot, but I flat-out grew up around people who run over cats for kicks and point guns at each other when they get drunk in the hills partying. It's why I moved to the city and advocate stronger gun control. The small-town cops there were also well-known for being nasty, spiteful POSes who'd cite you for bullshit or follow you around town each day hoping to catch you doing something they could gently caress with you over, small town cops are mean motherfuckers you don't wanna cross. Oh, okay.

Stranger Things is a Netflix original sci-fi/thriller series starring Winona Ryder, Matthew Modine, and a few other people I recognize. Show revolves around supernatural elements and MKULTRA conspiracies. Pretty good so far (about halfway through), although the second episode was a little slow. My girlfriend, who does not usually care for sci-fi, is really into it, FYI.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:At first glance, that smacked of an ABC Family preteen sci-fi/drama. Did I count it out too soon? I'd definitely watch the first episode in its entirety to see if you'd like it, but realize it slow burns the first two episodes then gets pretty crazy. Definitely not an ABC family preteen show.

Kevin DuBrow posted:Any thoughts on the martial arts and samurai flicks on Netflix? The IP Man movies are good, but they do get worse as you get further through the series. There are a ton of old Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies which are hit or miss, but usually pretty good (especially Chan's older stuff). The Man from Tai Chi is good, and if you haven't seen Kung Fu Hustle you should definitely check that out. They used to have a bunch of Bruce Lee's films on there, but they can get a little meh (there really was an asiansploitation period). Chuck Norris has some okay films, but they are often 70/80's cliche as gently caress. Edit: also, Tony Jaa's stuff is pretty good, although Ong Bak 1 & the protector 1 are my two favorite of his.

Ugly In The Morning posted:. I wish JCVD (the movie) was streaming somewhere. Lol, it is streaming on Amazon Prime. That's what I was referring to in my original post, NOT Jean Claude Van Johnson. That show is pretty good, and I like how it plays with tropes, but THE MOVIE - JCVD is much better imo. E. Joey Freshwater posted:Wait were me and the other guy talking about two different things? I was talking about the series Jean Claude Van Johnson. I didnt know there was a movie called JCVD. Lol, yea, two separate things. If you liked the show, you'll like the movie (which I believe was also called "Van Dammage" in certain regions). Like I said, it's streaming free in Amazon Prime right now, too.
