Major League 2-DVD

Yea don't think I have ever seen this. DVD with part 2 was cheap. A major step down from the first. But a decent way to pass the morning. Oddly it is the non Sheen members of the cast that make this worth seeing.

Don't Go In The House: This was a film that Newt had wanted me to see, so I picked up the Severin Blu-Ray back at G-Fest. It was interesting, reminding me a lot of Maniac (only not nearly as gruesome or disturbing), and I thought Dan Grimaldi gave a pretty good performance as the lead, but it wasn't something I loved, either. Then again, I only watched the 83-minute theatrical version, and this set had three different versions, the longest of which is like 92 minutes, so that might make a difference. Anyway, the extras in that set were really interesting.

Forgot you had grabbed that. Not sure what versions I have seen. Know we rented it on VHS decades ago. Then got it on DVD.

Tacoma FD - Watched this on Netflix, just finished the four seasons. Exceptionally funny show by 3 of the Broken Lizard guys. I was a fan of Super Troopers when it came out, but when I re-watched it recently, it didn't hold up. (Super Troopers 2 was garbage.) I liked Beerfest and Slammin Salmon, but this show is way funnier, in my opinion.

Ninja III the domination-Shout Blu Ray

She wanted comedic action. So I grabbed a 80s Cannon ninja film. Seen this many times. This time got me thinking how I never see anyone drinking V8 anymore.

Cheech & Chong's Hey Watch this-DVD

Got this in one of my thrifting runs. Paid under a buck. Mostly is them on a stage redoing old bits from their records. With them doing a few new pieces.

Worth seeing if you are a fan of them. If not avoid it.

Cop: "And how long have you been in Mexico, sir?"
Cheech: "A week...uh, I mean a day."
Cop: "Well, which is it--a week or a day?"
Cheech: "Uhh, a weekday."

Wes Craven's Summer of Fear: I'd seen this once before, many years ago, and I'd say it's the best of Craven's TV movies (I remember Invitation to Hell being decent and Chiller being awful). Obviously, it's a TV movie from the 70's, so they couldn't get too extreme, but I found it to be quite enjoyable. I recently learned of and picked up a 2017 Blu-Ray, which not only has a commentary with Craven from the old DVD but also has a new interview with Linda Blair.

Am I the only person that thinks that big zombie that bounces like an inflatable sex doll when hit in NOLD 90 is hilarious? It's probably the best of the 'remakes' of the original Romero trilogy, but still a bit disappointing. I like what they did with the Barbara character, but even that got old post 2017 and the rush to give women a testosterone injection in just about everything (and the denial by the instigators that female action leads like Sigourney Weaver even existed before)?

Yeah that zombie was fake as hell, it's been awhile since I saw it, but I still recall that scene--I think he gets hit with a fireplace poker, correct? Ha, ha! I guess they tried to shoot it from behind thinking maybe it wouldn't look as cheap, but...whatever, I still prefer that to CGI crap anyday.

For me, the ability to buy the tough female lead that kicks everyone's ass really depends on the individual actress and the particular film.

I'm a fan of this one as well, and I appreciate the changes to the Barbara character. I dig Patricia Tallman's portrayal. She and Savini also worked together on one of the best Tales From The Darkside episodes, "Family Reunion."

I recently saw a video where somebody both criticized what they did with Barbra and Patricia Tallman's acting, saying she was over-the-top. It was a person I like, for the most part, but that made me think, "Wow."

Night of the Living Dead (1990) Umbrella Entertainment Blu-Ray: Recently just stumbled across this on Amazon and decided to pick it up, as I do enjoy this film. It has the audio commentary with Tom Savini and The Dead Walk featurette from the old DVD, but it also has new interviews with Savini, Patricia Tallman, and makeup effects guys John Vulich and Everett Burrell, as well as about eight minutes of behind-the-scenes footage. It's a shame, given his recent death, that they were never able to get Tony Todd in to do an interview about this movie.

Had time to kill this morning before taking Maggot Ass the Wonder Mutt to the vet for her annual shots.

The Best of Benny Hill DVD-Anchor bay released 1 hour 26 minutes of what I am guessing is early 80s era Benny Hill skits. I saw this as a kid and loved it. It was color Three Stooges to my 7 and 8 year old mind,plus aired right before BSG reruns. Now I get all the jokes I didnt then. Chuckled a few times.

Kung Fu Trailers of Fury Blu ray- 2hours of Martial arts trailers with a fun commentary.

No One Heard the Scream - The disappointment of putting in a thriller and finding that it's one that spends the whole time trying to cover up a single crime is crushing!!! They're always such a bore when they're like this and then in this one we get a villain who just never shuts up and is annoying to listen to. Ugh...
