Who's Watching Oliver, 2018. 9/10.



Russell Geoffrey Banks makes this movie. His performance is outstanding. He makes Oliver real. Iv'e never seen anything like this, perhaps when Bill Oberst Jr. plays his roles, thats saying something. Vodded. Pre ordered and rewatched. My cinematic life is perfect right now.

Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
7/10



Ten years after the giant robot task force sealed the alien invaders' portal, the alien's threaten again. This time a new entrepreneurial scientist, jockeying for power, has created giant drone robots to fight any new giant monsters that may come from a new alien portal. But is everything as it seems?

There's still some cool special effects and action, but the film is missing the heart, the resonating emotional depth of characters, of the excellent original Pacific Rim (2013). The new young characters are not compelling, and suffer from woefully undeveloped emotional background stories. Instead the draw is the old tired rebel teen angst background. The two films have different screenwriters and directors.

I needed subtitles. :) Such heavy Scottish accents.

I'm watching Leprechaun 3 on Hulu. I think he's funnier than Freddy Kruger. :D

Robert Englund has had an interesting post-Freddy career. Sometimes his job is just to stand around and look creepy. Like on the episode of Bones where Dr. Brennan attends a high school reunion, and Englund plays the school's janitor. If course, his face was familiar from Nightmare on Elm Street, so you were supposed to believe he was the killer, even though he was an obvious red herring.

What did I just think of...I think I read somewhere that the way Freddy stood in Nightmare, that sort of crooked posture, was Englund's idea. It might be true. Adrienne Corri (Vampire Circus) said in an interview that the reason she loves to do horror movies even though her agent doesn't want her to, is because actors in horror movies often are allowed to have this kind of creative input.

I like this quotation so much I will throw it in even though I'm sure you guys know it already: "You think I'm mad, don't you?...Perhaps we're both mad." --Boris Karloff in "The Terror."

I haven't seen the movie, but that title A cure for wellness reminds me of a t-shirt I saw: "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is."
