The Room and Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Both those films for me belong to the category of "so bad they are good", meaning that, all in all, they end up being quite good, funny, entertaining, interesting, and even if it is only by chance, really good. Better than all those crappy movies Hollywood keeps on churning out remorselessly. They are way better than The Wicker Man or Batman and Robin, which have no redeeming qualities whatsoever and are just plain and simple shit on a stick.

Sharknado is one of the corniest, over the top, funny, action, movie series out there. They don't take themselves seriously so the writing is fresh, creative, and all the cameos in the movies have grown so much. I don't know why more actors don't pop up in more of the movies. BTW love SYFY original movies.

BONE TOMAHAWK (2015) 5/5.

An impressively gritty and gruesome American film, that straddles the genres of horror and western. It was produced by Jack Heller and Dallas Sonnier and written and directed by S Craig Zahler, who also helped to score this film with Jeff Herriott. It stars Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Richard Jenkins, Lili Simmons, Sean Young and David Arquette. It is an unrelentingly brutal film in certain places, that is not for the faint-hearted or the squeamish.

Yeah, I thought this was an unexpected treat. Will be keeping an eye out for Zahler's next pic. Also, it kinda reminded me of THE DESCENT, in the second half.

Free for All (1949) (4/5)



An obscure little Hollywood film with a relatively unconventional plot. As a matter of fact, its obscurity is highlighted by the fact that there are no reviews available on IMDb's website (there is a well-written storyline, though), which is surprising considering that most other obscure old English-language films that I've seen have at least one review.

Anyway, the basic plot is that an inventor, played by the youthful-looking Robert Cummings, discovers a way to convert liquid water into gasoline for vehicles. The conflict, which is intertwined with the love interest storyline (played by Ann Blyth), arises when a major oil company gets involved. I thought it was enjoyable; it's not a clear-cut comedy with an abundance of laughs, but it's leaning more towards that genre than drama. It's light-hearted and a good way to waste an 70 minutes if you're bored. I do think, however, that the ending felt a bit contrived and rushed.

But overall, the movie that shares the name with one of IMDF's beloved off-topic sections is worth a watch.

Respect your initiative in trying something here, Mustang. (Checked your profile, guess I won't be calling you Sally...)

Trouble is (for me) there isn't a thread for Men and Film to match. Women are like men - but without the penises (apologies to my pre-op transgender sisters of course) - it's an old, old battle - to gently nudge well-meaning guys to realise that providing any "Women's equivalency" speciality option is a little bit token, a little bit ghetto. We are 51% of the world's population, and while I respect all minorities, men included, I never bought Playgirl or "ladies" cigarettes either.

Or am I wrong?

I talked about this over the years, but people thought I was crazy. Have you ever noticed the similarities between Star Wars and American Graffiti? I mostly thought teens, music, humour, racing, fighting, guy getting the girl, etc. I'm glad someone out there did all the leg work. This was to a degree what I was trying to point out years ago. Stars Wars was somewhat a space knock off of the American Graffiti. I'm still fan of both movies. Well, the old Star Wars, more than the new ones.

What's your thoughts on this?
Do you think Lucas reused & just modded the Star Wars story to a degree?
Is this something you overlooked, and never noticed?

ABSENCE OF MALICE (1981) 4/5.

An interesting and well-made American drama, with a title that refers to the legal definition of one of the requirements of proof against libel defamation and is used in journalism classes to illustrate the conflict between disclosing damaging personal information and the public's right to know. The film was written by Kurt Luedtke - a former newspaper editor - and David Rayfiel. It was produced by Ronald L Schwary and Sydney Pollack, who also directed it. It stars Paul Newman, Sally Field, Bob Balaban, Melinda Dillon, Josef Sommer and Wilford Brimley. It is certainly worth the effort to watch.
