What did you watch this week sugar? (12/08-18/08)

I plan on catching Blade of the Immortal at some point, and I enjoyed Kingsman 2, 7/10, though not as much as the first film, 8/10.

The Church (1989 Amazon Prime) "An old Gothic cathedral, built over a mass grave, develops strange powers which trap a number of people inside with ghosts from a 12th Century massacre seeking to resurrect an ancient demon from the bowels of the Earth." 7/10

Mourning Grave (2014 Amazon Prime) "A teenager, with the ability to see ghosts, returns to his hometown to face his demons." 6/10

Voices from Beyond (1991 Amazon Prime) "When a family man is poisoned to death, it's covered up as a stomach hemorrhage and his spirit returns to aid his daughter in finding his killers." Director: Lucio Fulci 6/10

The Adventurers (2017 NetflixDVD) "The world's top thieves join forces to pull off the heist of a lifetime. But when they find themselves pursued across Europe by a legendary French detective, they'll have to take their game to the next level." Stars: Andy Lau, Qi Shu 7/10

Full Throttle (1995 Amazon Prime) "A top HK motorcycle racer is forced to reevaluate his entire way of life after a serious accident and the loss of a close friend. He struggles to maintain his identity as a risk-taker; and fights to maintain and redefine his relationships with his fiancée, friends, and estranged father. A compelling tale of a man's pride and the emotional catharses of himself and those he loves." Stars: Andy Lau 7/10

Headshot (II) (2016 Netflix) "Uwais plays a young man who washes ashore, an amnesiac with a serious head injury whose past comes back to haunt him shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor. Violence ensues. Sweet, sweet violence." Stars: Iko Uwais 6/10

Movies:

-Picnic (1955)
Just a dumb melodrama. William Holden looked about 10 years older than he was supposed to be. He and Kim Novak were also freaking annoying. There were actually no sympathetic characters at all. The ending was ridiculous.

-Valentine (2001)
Silly, predictable slasher. Not a lot of suspense either.

TV Shows:

-Agatha Christie's Poirot - "Murder on the Links" (1995)

-The Flying Doctors - marathon
Well, another channel decided to broadcast the show daily, so I switched over now that they've finally caught up with season 2.

-Saved By the Bell - marathon

-CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - marathon

-The New Detectives - marathon

-The Bold and the Beautiful - marathon of very old episodes

-Buffy The Vampire Slayer - "Enemies" and "Earshot"

Kingsman: The Golden Circle: 9/10

This week was a nice mix of very good and very bad.

Alien: Resurrection - Despite the negative reception it receives, it was my favorite movie of the Alien franchise. (8/10)

Multiplicity - Not sure why this movie isn't popular. I thought it was hilarious. (8/10)

L.A. Confidential (8/10)

The Feels - Not at all what I expected. One thing I expected was for it to not be complete trash, which it was. (3/10)

Action Point - A major disappointment. I didn't laugh once. There was also a dumb flashback narrative structure that was pointless. (4/10)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - It's difficult for me to explain why I liked this one as much as I did. But I was thoroughly entertained by it. I think I'm actually going to have to watch it again today to fully appreciate it. (9/10)

Fargo (1996) - Very good in every way. (8/10)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - It was good, but I thought it was a little overrated. (7/10)

My Cousin Rachel (2017) - Not much going on there. (5/10)

Spring Breakers - Terrible all around. (3/10)

Didn't get to Avengers: Infinity War like I had planned. Hopefully that will be this week.

I agree with you on Extinction, it was disappointing all around. Where did the kids come from ??

Upgrade (2018) - set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when Grey, a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem. One of the better AI movies I have seen in recent years. It is a bit dark but I didn't mind at all. 7.5/10

Bad Samaritan (2018) - A pair of burglars stumble upon a woman being held captive in a home they intended to rob. I thought this was a fairly good thriller. David Tennant is good as the psycho. The ending a bit predictable. 6.5/10

Adrift (2018) - A true story of survival, as a young couple's chance encounter leads them first to love, and then on the adventure of a lifetime as they face one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history. This has been done before and better ( All is Lost). Reasonably entertaining. 6.5/10

Lucky Number Slevin (2006) - A case of mistaken identity lands Slevin into the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city's most rival crime bosses: The Rabbi and The Boss. Slevin is under constant surveillance by relentless Detective Brikowski as well as the infamous assassin Goodkat and finds himself having to hatch his own ingenious plot to get them before they get him. Final saw it and enjoyed it immensely. Some good characters in this crime drama. 7.5/10

How It Ends (2018) - A desperate man tries to return home to his pregnant fiancée after a mysterious apocalyptic event turns everything to chaos. Not a bad road movie following a unknown event. Forrest Whitaker is very good. The problem is the end where the production company seemed to have run out of money. 6/10

The Children's Hour (1961) - A troublemaking student at a girls' school accuses two teachers of being lesbians. A tough topic to cover in 1961. Great performance I thought from Shirley MacLaine and one of the supporting actresses who got a Oscar nomination. 7.5/10

The Mosquito Coast (1986) - An inventor spurns his city life to move his family into the jungles of Central America to make a utopia. A fun movie to re-watch just for Harrison Ford's performance. He got a GG nomination for it. Should have gotten an Oscar nom. 6.5/10

Last of the Dogmen (1995) - A Montana bounty hunter is sent into the wilderness to track three escaped prisoners. Instead he sees something that puzzles him. A entertaining Canadian made adventure/modern day western. It is a fun movie not to be taken seriously. 7/10

Brewster's Millions (1985) was on TV earlier so I watched that and Once Upon A Time In America (1984) last week. (Both re-watches) 6/10 and 10/10

Your right, Extinction had some good ideas, but it was an under developed movie. I think it would have made a good book since the plot was pretty interesting. I wonder if they are going to do a sequel.
