Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: Horrorfest 2016: We Are What We Are
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2016/10/horrorfest-2016-we-are-what-we-are.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Sunday, October 30, 2016. Horrorfest 2016: We Are What We Are. Bill Sage stars as the patriarch of a family living in a poverty stricken rural town. As the film opens, a disastrous rain storm floods the area and Sage's wife (Kassie DePaiva) is found dead, seemingly drowned. The sheriff (Nick Damici) breaks the news to the family and Sage's two daughters (Ambyr Childers and Julia Garner) visit the local doctor (the great Michael Parks) to view the body.

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: Horrorfest 2016: The Legend of Hell House
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2016/10/horrorfest-2016-legend-of-hell-house.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Saturday, October 29, 2016. Horrorfest 2016: The Legend of Hell House. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE can be added to the short list of exceptions, because it's good. This UK flick from 1973 was directed by John Hough, who went on to direct a bunch of those creepy Disney flicks like WITCH MOUNTAIN and WATCHER IN THE WOODS. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: Horrorfest 2016: Someone's Watching Me!
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2016/10/horrorfest-2016-someones-watching-me_31.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Monday, October 31, 2016. Horrorfest 2016: Someone's Watching Me! Now I'll depart from my various lists for one last movie this October, our Horrorfest 2016 finale, SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME! Since this a made-for-TV movie, it's not as stylish as the stuff Carpenter later became known for, but you can see he's a born director even with these limitations, especially in a suspenseful sequence where Hutton searches her building for the intruder, following him down into the laun...

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: Divorce Italian Style
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2017/01/divorce-italian-style.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Thursday, January 5, 2017. DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE was directed by Pietro Germi, who is not a huge name in Italian neo-realism, and stars Marcello Mastroianni, who is. Apparently Mastroianni was a dramatic star on stage, then relegated to goofy roles on screen, and with his lead turn in LA DOLCE VITA became an unexpected Latin Lover. Uncomfortable with that role, he sought to undo it with flicks like this one. I saw Mastroianni once before in YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW,...

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: February 2013
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Thursday, February 28, 2013. Well, looks like I'm not going to make it to 28 romantic movies in 28 days. There's a first time for everything, including a failed Romancefest. So, I'll just skip right to the top of the list with IT. No, not IT as in the made for TV horror movie starring Ben Heller as a handsome young Boy Scout. I'm talking about the silent romantic comedy from 1927, also called IT. Romancefest 2013: Bus Stop. Despite top billing, Monroe actually plays seco...

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: Horrorfest 2016: Oculus
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2016/10/horrorfest-2016-oculus.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Friday, October 28, 2016. One of the coolest things about this movie is the methodical way the sister goes about destroying the mirror, and also attempting to prove its super natural qualities. She sets up cameras, has failsafe schedules and stuff, complete with alarms. She's not taking any chances. So many horror movies rely on characters being borderline retarded that whenever there's stuff like this in a flick, it's a nice change of pace. I did absolutely nothing, and...

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-36th-chamber-of-shaolin.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Tuesday, January 10, 2017. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Liu knows the monks from the Shaolin Temple know Kung Fu and wishes he knew it, too, so he could fight back. So, he goes there to learn it and learn it he does. There's a legendary one-hour-long training sequence, taking up about half the movie, showing Liu's progression through the 35 chambers of Shaolin - each teaching him a valuable Kung Fu skill until he eventually graduates.

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: January 2017
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Wednesday, January 25, 2017. Yesterday I had the chance to see a rare 35mm print of the ultra-low-budget Blaxploitation flick BROTHERHOOD OF DEATH thanks to Dan Halstead and the Hollywood Theatre, so naturally I took it. After all, check out this premise: three African-American Vietnam vets return home from war and use guerrilla war tactics to rid their town of the Klan. Pretty irresistible. Finally as the movie nears a close, our three heroes don their military uniforms...

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Sunday, January 8, 2012. Top Ten Movies of 2011. Time for the top 10 of 2011! Anyway, as usual, this list is in no particular order, except of course I have saved the best for last, and I'm sure there are plenty of movies I didn't see this year that deserve to be on this list, as well. Fall in love with it, especially with that spectacular sunset at the end. This is a movie's movie. CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS. And "Where did we come from? THE TREE OF LIFE. As usual, I had ...

Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing: October 2015
http://nothingdream.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Me and My Dream of Doing Nothing. Friday, October 30, 2015. Horrorfest 2015: Cravenfest - Scream 4. Hey, I just realized I watched and wrote about 32 horror movies this month instead of 31. So now we're in bonus time! Although I guess technically a bunch of the posts were about TV episodes and/or segments of episodes, so I guess it's fair. But Neve Campbell does not have writer's block. Because she has finished a self help book and is now on a book tour – last stop… WOODSBORO! I guess this is Williamson'...
