I did wrap up Hell House II, Hell House III: Lake of Fire, and Hell House Origins. The movies do nothing to try and improve the genre or add anything to this cut/paste footage exercise. In fact, I’d argue that they try to add to it with “better” actors, cameras, and scripts, which really takes away from the grounded nature of the first Hell House. The last one tried something a little new by changing locations but managed to have one of the most insufferable main chicks possible.

I stuck with it because I do appreciate the kooky lore and trying to build something around this dumb idea. Sort of like the Annabelle series or others. Just keep piling on and making stuff up, trying to connect it all. It’s absurd and I kind of love it, for no real good reason.

They’re all pretty much 5/10s. Hell House III may be a 4/10 because it just added nothing and was pretty bad (I mean it tried to add plot and substance but it didn’t matter). The lead character was so unbelievable as any type of “richest man in the world” nonsense. Just make him a regular that wanted to buy the hotel.

On to the next B movie series

The Drop.
James Gandolphini and Tom Hardy. Also Noomi Rapace which has caused me to avoid it til now.

Decent film. Rapace sucks as always. Hardy's accent is pretty shit. How do you have two Euros playing peeps from Brooklyn? Hardy and Gandolphini are solid but Hardy is miscast. He just isn't a knock-around guy from Brooklyn.

7.5/10

Riddick.

A while back we were talking about Riddick, and I though I had not ever seen this one. I noticed it was on amazon prime, and watched it.
I think the only thing worse, was realizing that I HAD seen this, and just totally erased it from my mind it was so forgettable.

Theres two major problems. 1. its just a rehash of pitch black. 2. the movie is just utterly convinced Riddick is the coolest, most badass person in the universe, and is just trying so very hard to insist we think so to. it just goes way way too far. so cool. so few words. so badass. so edgelord. like the scene where buatista has him in a hold, and riddick defies physics to do an iron cross and break the hold.
we do see some tits. so theres that.

5/10

Can you give me a titless rating?

The Killer, 8/10. Very well made and written, Fast Bender is great in this. Not an action movie so if you have attention span issues this might not be the movie for you however I do have attention span issues and I enjoyed it so whatever.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny... 4/10. Mads Milking Son is wasted in this though anyone in that role would have been. Effects are horrible, cgi is terrible, colour pallet is grotesque, story is moronic, everything about this movie except Mads is just bad. No one is going to convince me that the chick in this attractive, she is not. Movie sucked. Only watched it because The Wife put it on and I was too tired to leave the room.

The past 16 weeks or so we’ve watched all the Rocky movies and last night finished everything with Creed 3.

The whole Rocky saga is really great to watch so close together. There’s a sense of his character growing and going through changes. Individually there are ups and downs, but they’re tolerable since you can directly compare it to what happened yesterday or last week. Almost like watching an 8 episode mini-series and not movies that spanned 40 years.

Creed 3 was just bad. The fighting looked bad, story was bad, script was bad. A very disappointing “end” to what we went through. Creed 2 wasn’t amazing or anything but it at least saw Rocky making up with his kid, being a grandpa. Creed 3 didn’t help Adonis look anything but normal thug and stupid. Jonathan Majors character was dumb. It is funny though seeing him as this whiny ex con and then see him play a whiny idiot that’s supposedly intimidating in Loki.

5/10 - worse than any of the Rockys

I recently watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo again. She is legit good in it. When I watch her in other shit she just doesn't rise to that level. Something about her just isn't relatable in her roles. Now that being said, her character in GWTDT is also highly unrelatable so perhaps that's why she is good in it.

I really liked both version of GWTDT the sail away scene was pretty fun

Agreed. I found there is a different version of the original for the US vs the rest of the world. Small edits involving the rape scenes and aftermath.
