When Doug Jones was mentioned I figured I should probably watch it. The plot is basically that the demon Lilith is turning people into lust-crazed maniacs.

I didn't like Things 2 at all so chances are there's nobody on the planet who will like it. It has absolutely no heart, pulse, charm or point of being a sequel to such an insane, honestly made effort as the first. It's trying to be "Things" intentionally without it organically happening like the original.Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-18214743947065945942018-06-15T22:07:49.598-05:002018-06-15T22:07:49.598-05:00Super Fly (1972)

I didn't expect quite so much rape. I was not surprised that rape factored into the movie, but the movie is just alternating sword fighting and rape for 70 minutes. Also, lots of tits, as I don't think shirts had yet been invented in this fantasy world. If you are not put off by all the rape, it is mildly entertaining.<br /><br />My trawling through Amazon Prime also turned up Divorce Invitation (2012), which doesn't really fit in with Junesploitation, but what the fuck is going on? A guy's pre-nup includes a clause that if he wants a divorce he has to invite everyone who was at the wedding to a divorce ceremony. This only comes up in the last third of the movie; the first third is about him converting to Judaism to make his fiance's family happy, then the middle is about him rekindling things with his childhood sweetheart. Both women are portrayed sympathetically (if nonsensically), which just makes the main character look like even more of a cretin than being a guy trying to get a divorce within 6 months of marrying already does. It ends with him giving a speech about all the lessons he learned delivering those invitations to his divorce, which was shown a montage with him seeming to have the time of his life.Scott Skocyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481902978617982142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-21443861962620589702018-06-15T21:56:05.545-05:002018-06-15T21:56:05.545-05:00Religulous (2008)

I think it’s a movie I admire more than enjoy, but I miss the brief window in movies when fantasy like this was kind of the norm and more or less treated seriously. There’s obviously a lot of adolescent fantasy in Frank Frazetta’s art, but the story and the approach are geared towards adults.Patrick Bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771837625286775607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-75142293658560161582018-06-15T21:29:04.680-05:002018-06-15T21:29:04.680-05:00That Doctor Who comparison is spot on.That Doctor Who comparison is spot on.Daniel Eplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866855763520017556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-1387071446935430932018-06-15T21:26:41.846-05:002018-06-15T21:26:41.846-05:00I need to see this.I need to see this.Patrick Bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771837625286775607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-8953744013070377662018-06-15T21:08:42.647-05:002018-06-15T21:08:42.647-05:00High Risk (1981) Dir: Stewart Raffill

As this group has no actual skills things gor horribly wrong.<br /><br />Light-hearted 80's action film that's short on entertainment. Everything moves and there's a few laughs but the whole thing came up short for me. James Coburn and Anthony Quinn play the villains and they certainly know what kind of movie they're in, so they do provide some enjoyment. Not terrible but totally skippable.hibachijusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746187565371540594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-26894160746631036972018-06-15T20:51:15.028-05:002018-06-15T20:51:15.028-05:00Zone Troopers (1985)

The casting, set, suspense, unease and visuals are all here in full effect. I haven't had the time to really think about what is actually being said in detail with this film but it was a brutal and nail biting ride and I'm so happy to see him continue to push things after a five year hiatus. I've seen all of his features and have yet to be unimpressed.

Set in a world where all the women prisoner's hair is perfectly feathered, and even the guards have undone one more button than appropriate. I started to get nervious about half-way that this was getting shakey, but felt that they stuck the landing in a major way. Absolutely loved the Sybil Danning and John Vernon performances, of course, buy Tamara Dobson is totally the secret hero of the whole thing. With all due respect to Puzuzu, it kinda feels like Linda Blair missed a calling as a network soaps star, but she still feels pretty good.
