Bedtime for Bonzo

Had a lot of fun with this one. Most people probably only know this one as "that monkey movie with future president Ronald Reagan in it", but I think it deserves a lot more credit that that. Reminds me a lot of the Three Stooges short "Hoi Polloi", but with a chimp instead of stooges.

How to Make a Doll

Didn't expect much going in, but jesus christ.

Maggie

I probably would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so poorly shot.

Hercules in New York

The movie where Arnold wrestles a bear in Central Park. Do you need anything else?

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Easily the best Indy flick for me, and probably Spielberg's best film as well.

Taste the Blood of Dracula

There's some great imagery in this one. That scene of Dracula waking up with his eyes a solid red is iconic. Just an alright Hammer Dracula film otherwise.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades

The finale is really the highlight of this flick. Well worth the buildup.

Stereo (Tile 3B of a CAEE Educational Mosaic)

There's some good ideas here, but it's a hard film to love. Great as a curiosity, but very flawed.

Detour

Favorite Noir I've seen. Infinitely rewatchable.

House of Wax

The opening scene is absolutely fantastic, so much so that the rest of the film doesn't quite live up to it. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable Vincent Price vehicle.

Blood Shack

Wow, this is a good one. And by "good" I mean "bad". I have a real love of these independent z-flicks shot out in the boonies, and damn does this one deliver. Best 70 minutes of nothing I ever saw.

Tales of Terror

Enjoyable anthology film. The Black Cat was quite humorous.

The Strange Door

Charles Laughton's performance was wonderful, certainly the highlight of the film. Just decent, otherwise.

Attack of the Killer Donuts

One of the most incompetent films I've ever seen. I loved it.

War for the Planet of the Apes

Kinda boring and long. Not a whole lot of action, and then it just sort of ended. Expected better, honestly.

Halloween

THE classic October slasher flick. Kids nowadays don't get it, I guess.

Five Easy Pieces

A child prodigy-turned-blue-collar-laborer returns to his family home to visit his dying father. This experience doesn't improve him. He doesn't become "rehabilitated". The movie ends with him changed, but just as much of a burn out as he was before. That's the point.

Borderless

I feel like it tends to miss the forest for the trees, but it wasn't half bad.

Bill Burr: Paper Tiger

Possibly Burr's weakest hour special. Burr has a similar style to Hicks or Carlin in that his jokes are more so humorous statements of truth, than they are jokes. This style of comedy works best when the comic isn't stating the obvious, but Burr's jokes in this special consist of statements already made 200 times prior. Burr might state them more concisely and in a more entertaining style than anyone before him, but that's really the only saving grace of this special; Burr hasn't changed.

Not unfunny or bad in any way, but nothing all that original either. Most enjoyable if you've been living under a rock for 5 years.

Vanishing Waves

To me it was more annoying than anything.

Two word review: "Holy Shit"

The Killer Shrews

Very underrated "last stand" horror movie. Setup is crap, but payoff is well worth it.

90 Day Fiancé: Season 1

The truncated season length definitely helps. I feel like seasons 2 and 3 only had 30 minutes of content per 40 minute episode, most likely due to the longer seasons.

Chargeman Ken!

Probably the worst anime ever. Definitely so bad it's good.
