I may have to watch it, what with the way you have been "ceaselessly" championing it...:D

Yeah. I did that on purpose for emphasis this time. If i had to compare it to a style it would be similar to "Lost in Translation". Lots of scenes without dialogue framed by scenery and ennui. Funny, I searched "movies with ennui" and Lost in Translation came up first.Quote:

That's next on my list as the trailer was enticing for me.Quote:

It’s sort of a thriller/spy/sci-fi mix. The lead is the Farmers Insurance “we know a thing or two...” guy.
I thought it was decent...will continue tonight.

Stick with it - it sucks you in. I was furious when they cancelled it.
The remastered version of PHANTASM just popped up.
This is a hallucinatory nightmare in overdrive; eerie and unnerving.
While it spawned 4 sequels, this is the best of the bunch (though II and III were actually decent; don't bother with IV or V, though).
Mondo late night red-eye matinee fare par excellance!
Those fucking orbs filled my childhood nightmares
Phantasm was superb back in the day.
Will revisit.
The Aeronauts was pretty good. Very cool story.
Enjoyed it.Quote:

It is a seminal entry in the heist genre.
Some fun adventurous scenes, but mostly chick flick. And WTF not wearing hats nor gloves at 28,000'?Quote:

Anybody watch a Patrick Melrose? Looks like a newer release starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Edit: First episode is a wild ride.
House of the devil was really enjoyable for a horror movie aficionado! Keep em rollin!!!
Loved it. Had no clue what was going on.Quote:

Slick, well-made doc that is surprisingly heartfelt.
Contains some great interviews with pretty much everybody involved in the making of the film, plus lots of great back story and behind the scenes insight.

You can watch all of the old Columbo episodes (with commericals unfortunately) through Amazon Prime. Wife and I get a lot of mileage out of those.

Prime has a treat for Ween fans, Ween Live at the Cats Cradle, from '91 or '92 (it's actually a collection of videos from multiple concerts, which happens to have been bundled with a live album that was recorded at Cats Cradle). This is early period Ween, definitely quite "brown", before they had a full band and a semi-conventional rock concert sound.
Love the God/Satan era Ween; like a folkier Butthole Surfers. Will watch.
Loved it. CheersQuote:

In the early 2000s Verhoeven returned to his native Holland where he made this WWII thriller, originally released in 2006, and it one of the best of his career.
Killer Kung Fu Kraziness!
If you find yourself hankering for some martial arts mayhem of the Old School variety, but with a macabre and weird twist, then HUMAN LANTERNS should fit the bill.
Without giving too much away, the story is about two egotistical lords in constant competition with one another. While they are trying to one-up each other a monkey skull Bigfoot villain is kidnapping their women and doing unspeakable things to them. Much flying fisticuffs and swordplay and deadly fighting fan action ensues.

Based on “Stranger in a Strange Land”? Or something new?Quote:
