    I haven't seen Nightmare Alley yet but I have seen Pacific Rim, Crimson Peak, and The Shape of Water, and I enjoyed all of them.

Plus, I can tell that del Toro had a lot more control with this one. It makes me sad that we didn't get more films in this continuity.

    That's what you've told me. We'll see in a few days.

    Hellboy (2004): I've become a big fan of Guillermo del Toro over the last five or so years, but I'd never seen this until just now. As I'm not a comic book person, I never had any interest in it before. But after watching it, I have to say that it was pretty good. It was a little long, a lot of the CGI hasn't aged very well, and I thought the climax was a bit weak, but overall, it was an interesting story, with plenty of memorable characters and creatures, and Ron Perlman, naturally, is awesome in this role.

    X: The Man with X-Ray Eyes. I'd seen this once before, but it was quite a while ago. I remember thinking it was just okay then. However, upon this rewatch, I enjoyed it a lot more. The story is very interesting, Ray Milland gives a great performance, and the visuals are quite trippy (might've been dress rehearsal for Roger Corman's later film, The Trip).

    Hit a wrestling show Saturday night,so uploading footage. Which means I use this time to work my way thru my unwatched stackk of DVDS.

    Asylum of the Damned-2004 Columbia release of a total crap film. Only cast member of note is Tracy Scoggins. Wasn't so bad I couldn't finish it. But was so bad I hate I paid a buck for it and trying to figure out who I am giving this turd too.

    Bring it On Cheer or Die-2021 Universal release is I think the 8th film in this long runing franchise. This time to revamp it they made it a horror film. Cheer team that has had a horrible incident decades before ends up practicing for a big meet in an old abandoned school. Feels oddly like RL Stine wrote a Giallo in the modern era.

    (I stupidly put this in the What'd You Get Lately thread, and didn't realize it until just now.)

    The Last House on the Left 2009 Arrow Video edition. I've seen, and reviewed, this movie before (as well as the original, of course) and, as much as the rape scene really makes me uncomfortable, I've always liked it and thought, in many ways, it was better than the 1972 original.

    If you enjoy this film, than this Blu-Ray release is an absolute must (as is their release of the original). It has an interesting audio commentary by David Flint and Adrian Smith, two British writers who mostly talk about the movie's legacy and influences, and also admit that it's flawed but well-done, nevertheless. It also has some great interviews with Sara Paxton, Garret Dillahunt (Krug), screenwriter Carl Ellsworth, and producer Jonathan Craven, and most of them are around 30 minutes long, as the little features from the old release.

    Targets (1968). As big of a fan as I am of Boris Karloff, I'm ashamed to say that I'd never seen this before now. Better late than never, though, because this was awesome. Very well made and affecting, with Karloff giving a great performance, as does the director himself. Peter Bogdonavich. Sadly, the subject matter is more relevant now than it was back then. You could easily see someone like Robert Englund appearing in a remake of this.

    That is the movie. Worth a watch. Would have never bothered but she picked it out and I was like ok. Besides some odd time line quirks it is good.

    Superman: The Animated Series. I'm a huge fan of Batman and know that animated series inside and out, but I'm not as familiar with this one, and have only gone through the whole thing once before. But like just about every show and movie in this animated universe, it's really good, with awesome voice acting and fun takes on the characters, as well as bright, colorful animation.
