Not saying it was done badly, quite the opposite, I just don't really like CGI creatures most of the time. Highly recommend seeing this in the theater.

I liked the filmmaking but did not enjoy spending time with the main character. To put it mildly, she can come across as a jerk. Moreover, I see enough self-destructive behavior around me. <br /><br />CRAWLSPACE (1986)- There is Klaus Kinski and then there is the rest of the film. Kinski gives a memorably demented performance as the homicidal landlord. He definitely committed to this role. Why anyone would rent from this man is beyond my comprehension. As for the other aspects of Crawlspace, they do not rise above nondescript 1980s schlock.<br /><br />THE STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR (1940)- Some have made the case that this is the first film noir. I will leave the noir debates to the scholars. I have watched better examples of film noir (Out of the Past, The Set-Up, Double Indemnity), but the brief time Peter Lorre appears on screen made it worthwhile. The Lorre style of sinister is indefinable; he could communicate a lot in a glance or a gesture. With a running time of just over an hour, the film moves along quickly.

I won't say I hated it, but it was easily forgettable.<br /><br />Disco Godfather: got on a bit if blacksploitation kick as of late and this features Julius J. Carry III (Sho'nuff) in his debut feature. Awfully cheesy but loads of fun.<br /><br />Black Belt Jones: Jim Kelly of Enter the Dragon Fame in an even more campy blacksploitation film than Disco Godfather. Ends in what felt like a half hour fight in soap. Skippable.<br /><br />La Femme Nakita: excellent action film with tons of characterization and a great female lead.<br /><br />Reign of Fire: was looking for fun action, I got it in places, nothing special.<br /><br />Hero: I was sad to hear Patrick and Adam aren't fans of this film because I absolutely love it. Easily my favorite Wuxia film. The art direction is just awe inspiring. Jet Li is serviceable as an actor, but itsi really the visuals that bring this one to incredible heights. I put this one above even the highly touted Crouching Tiger.<br /><br />The Disappearance of Alice Creed: watched this one based on a reccomendation from last weeksw thread. Wanted to love it but never got invested. Impressive for itsi limited sets and only containing three actors.<br /><br />The Killer: when I first saw this years ago it became one if my favorite action films, this time it somewhat dissapointed. I've since watched a few John Woo films (Dace/Off) so I suppose I've just become a bit desensitized to his stylized action. This film still has more characterization than most action films of the time.<br />Cole Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641844595029240609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-86012816801320408022018-04-07T17:21:00.977-05:002018-04-07T17:21:00.977-05:00Yeah I had a blast with this one.
