Coming Soon!

The Woods (2016)


Release Date: September 16th

Synopsis: A group of college students on a camping trip discover they are not alone.

Kudos to the teaser trailer & synopsis for not giving anything away. This is how trailers should be done IMO. Nothing irritates me more than when the trailer gives everything away. Most of the time I stop a trailer 30s in because of that. The director & writer tandem of Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett, who brought us V/H/S, V/H/S 2, The Guest, and You're Next, return for their next project. I've loved everything that I have seen from these guys, so I have no reason to think this movie is anything less than good. In the acting department they have a bunch of no-namers with heavy backgrounds in TV. Hard to tell what this movie has in store for us, but the suspense looks riveting. The filming style looks like a solid blend of normal 3rd person & 1st person. Aside from the obvious forest setting, this movie looks like it has a lot in store for us. Count me in!

Turns out this movie was renamed to "Blair Witch"...

I gave you some cake to take along. Better get some booze too!

I'm not sure if Sy Fy has shown Sand Sharks recently.

Great concept imo, but it was poorly executed.

Here is a good one! Green Room


A broke punk rock band (including Anton Yelchin- RIP) living out of a van on the road takes a gig out in the middle of nowhere for what turns out to be a white supremacists club. They witness a murder backstage and have to try to escape from the "green room" (common name for the performer's waiting room in the backstage area).The situation disintegrates into a bloody mess as both sides battle it out.

This is one of the better I have seen in awhile. Acting good? Check. Direction solid? Check? Gore and violence? Check and check. Gritty, disturbing horror-thriller? Check, check, check!

Few flaws in this one. Has a kind of Hostel feel to it without the over-the-top torture stuff.

Positives:
*As already mentioned, solid all-around production on a relatively low budget. Acting, directing, fxs, are all pluses.
*A well established nasty and realistic feel.
*Gratuitous Patrick Stewart as the big bad leader of the douchebag neo-nazis.
*Rottweilers like to bite!
*Real punk rock music! No Hollywood cop-out BS.

Negatives:
Not many. But nitpicking a little..........
*Storyline is paper thin. But that is intentional. It is what it is and does not try to be anything more.
*Captain Picard/Prof. X does a weird ass accent that is from nowhere I have ever heard before.
*It seems that the bad guys could have wiped them out pretty quick with a little more aggressiveness but they do attempt to give it a plausible explanation.

I give it a solid 8 out of 10. Creeping towards an 8.5!

Joe Bob sez check it out!

Watching Bait. It's decent so far.

My main bitch about these Sy Fy made for their Network movies is sometimes the babes are hot but often times they are average at best. It shouldn't be hard to get good looking babes even for these cheesey Horror movies. At worst, give an acting credit to some pron stars who want to go legit.

Watching 3 headed shark attack again (watched it earlier this week) because it's early and not much else is on. And I don't want to watch infomercials.

That actually sounds good. Patrick Stewart seems an odd choice for a redneck neo nazi group with his English accent. Did he use a redneck accent?

His accent was bizarre. Not quite sure what to make of it. It didn't sound like any accent I have heard before.

Good movie though.

Slightly off topic......Eric Roberts is one busy mofo. I counted 29 appearances (on IMDB) in a short film, movie or TV show during 2016.

I know he's not a very good actor but he sure stays active. And he's 60, an age where actors slow down a bit.

He has 436 credits in his career. That shocked the fuck out of me.
