Movie Homeless Santas, We have watched a lot of movies and we have watched a lot of weird movies and we have watched a lot of bad movies and we have watched a handful of foreign movies. Last night we watched a movie that feels like it got away from us for too long. Maybe because it was French and came out in 1989… but we tracked it down and watched it. FORMIDABLE. 

Movie Kringles,  Last week we watched a festive holiday film, Fatman. Where Mel Gibson plays a down on his luck Santa, forced to manufacture parts for US government spy satellites all while being stalked by a hitman sent by a spoiled rich kid. Now this premise seems very wacky, but the movie is surprisingly subtle. Everything about the ‘north pole’ location seems legit. Santa lives in a quiet small town and tries to make ends meet delivering toys. I’m not really sure how he’s getting paid to do that? are they running on Christmas cheer? Is this the plot of The Santa Clause 3… 

Tiny Movie Men,  What can you do with a 13 inch man? This week we watched Dollman. I finally found a copy of it and we seem to have a system that works with twoseven. We should probably test out some of the other streaming options, but the google drive thing works for now. 

Movie Gentlemen,  Last week we returned to some form of movie night, watching FX from 1986 on TwoSeven.xyz. 

Movie Buddy Cops,  I totally spaced on writing a recap of last last week. But since I’m an OCD completionist I literally can’t stop. We had just Me, Chris and Ivy. But statistically 1/3 of us hadn’t seen this movie. Last week we watched a classic 80’s genre defining action movie, Tango and Cash. I pretty much only remember the part at the end where they drive the ‘badass RV’ and blow shit up. But there is a lot more to this movie. Unfortunately I both don’t have the energy to recap a movie that most of us have seen… and it’s been at least a week by the time of writing this. 

Movie Janitors,  Oh man we did it again. We let Cote pick… and he chose a Troma movie again. We watched “The Toxic Avenger” the movie that pretty much started the Troma-verse. I’m not such a fan of these films. I think its the weird combination of low production values, horror effects and weird humor that just doesn’t click with me. But I see the draw… if you leave out the humor you have that movie “Street Trash” we watched, which was… difficult. 

Movie Earth Heroes, We did it again this week. Movie night in general, but also we watched a movie that has been on the list so long that they have completed and released the sequel in the meantime. It ranged from serviceable comedy to very funny at some points. If you’re looking for some good pg-13 family friendly comedy its a safe bet. 

Movie Commandos,  Again this last week we watched a movie that I hadn’t seen before, a classic from the 80’s called “Deadly Prey”. It wasn’t the most perfect bad movie ever but it did have it’s moments and oh God did it have the best jorts.

Movie Linemen, Last night we watched a very important film. A film with very big stars and the best of plot. We watched Ivy’s inaugural pick, the 2016 Travolta opus, Life on the Line. In the grand tradition of Movie Night… this was a terrible movie. In the ‘rush’ of this movie, I forgot to take any screenshots. Which is probably good since the only thing funny about anything is Travolta’s facial hair. Which could be described as a scared Halloween cat smashed against his chin.  This movie is so sincere, every moment just oozes saccharine sentimentality. Some things that you should know going in.. Kate Bosworth is currently 37, Devin Sawa is currently 40. Is this what we look like now?!

Movie Rat-Monkeys, Jesse joined us for a movie night for the first time since… some movie… if you can remember what it was, I’ll give you credit on the sheet.This week we watched an all time classic from an Oscar winning filmmaker. This is a 100% true statement! We watched “Dead Alive” (aka Braindead) from Peter Jackson. Yes, ‘Lord of the RIngs Peter Jackson’, He started his career in New Zealand making these weird comedy gross horror movies. (bad taste, dead alive, meet the feebles) before making a normal movie called heavenly creatures and then ‘the frighteners’ with Micheal J Fox. the real question is how he landed LOTR with that resume?! Anyway. It was a small group, but 2/3 hadn’t seen it, so that was good. It was Erskine’s pick, but he can’t stay up later than my 2 year old baby, so he bailed at 6:51pm.
