2D Movie Night

Movie Nerds,  We’re back! The boys are back in town and they have brought with them a crazy bad movie from 1991… Samurai Cop! Oh man was this thing great. There were some parts that dragged a bit because these guys clearly barely knew how to create a movie. They clearly ran out of money halfway through and then had to cut what they had together into a ‘completed’ project. All of the screenshots are works of goddamn art, I want to get them tattooed on my back. The faces of everyone are insanely glorious and every other one is a full on solo head shot. 

Movie Joes,  Last week we revisited a piece of 80’s history. GI JOE : The Movie. Apparently not released in theaters after the failure of My Little Pony and Transformers : Movie Film for Theaters. And Duke didn’t die, because everyone freaked out at Optimus dying in Transformers. Which I can totally see how they changed it because.. he died, then they just said… he’s in a coma.Any HOOOOOOO. 

Movie Cyborgs,  Last night we rebooted the Movie Night with a viewing of ‘Hands Of Steel’ AKA ‘Atomic Cyborg’ A glorious relic from 1986 in the post apocalyptic genre. It has all the strong beats of 80’s future, some kind of vague apocalypse has happened and everyone is forced to live in the desert or abandoned quarries and drive late 70’s beaters. 

Movie Fellows, We are back! For how long no one knows! To celebrate our hiatus we watched a ‘good’ movie!

Movie Elves, Last week we watched a movie that I had previously thought to be a good movie. ‘Rare Exports’ from 2010. I still think it’s ‘pretty good’ but time has made me downgrade it. The ending doesn’t hold up as well.

Movie MotherFuckers, Well this week we were supposed to watch some kind of Halloween themed movie. but we gave up almost instantly when ‘Wolfcop’ and ‘All Cheerleaders Die’ weren’t on Netflix anymore. So we let Bill go to the list again and pick one of his movies.

Movie Night Survivors, This week we watched… THINGS… a 1989 no budget Z-grade Canadian horror film made by trailer park residents in between walks to the Zippy mart for packs of smokes. It brought us to our collective knees and made some question the 0 ratings they gave to ‘A Talking Cat?!’ and ‘Manborg’. Was it enough to kill movie night forever?

Movie Truckers, So last week we went way back to 1986 when Emilio Estevez was a legitimate star and a coked up Steven King was directing a movie about sentient trucks. I remember this movie being frightening, I swear it was frightening… damn times have changed.

In the interest of Completion I’m writing some sort of recap for the last week we watched a movie. Cote was trying to pick “Mil Mascaras and the Aztec Mummy” but we couldn’t find a stream of it. So We settled on “Cemetery Man” a 1994 Italian movie that Bill Erskine recommended. (Dun Dun Dummmmmm)

All right movie chums. Last Thursday night, Bill, Bill, Charlie, and I watched Soldier (1998). A movie that 22 year old Chris Johnson really enjoyed at the time of its release, and still enjoys to this day. Kurt Russell plays the lead hero and  probably says 50 words in the entire movie. But the little that he does say, to me it makes his words more poignant. You really get a sense of how he is feeling in that even though he was essentially bred to be who he was, it wasn’t that he ever had the choice.
