Friday Film Recommendations: Jan 20th


Happy Friday Film Fiends!

Take a look at this week's FFR selection available via Netflix Instant Watch!


Nightwatch

Martin take a job as a night watch man at a morgue to get some extra cash and have free time to study for his law degree. He think the job is easy because "pfft, who's going to break into a morgue? Some sicko trying to score with the dead bodies?! As if!"
Well, yeah some sicko broke in and D.T.F. a dead body. Martin gets mixed up with a serial killer/dead body do-er all while trying to clear his name. 





Short Circuit 

A military-designed robot gets struck by lightening and starts thinking he's people. 

He pals up with a pet lover who thinks he's an alien trying to learn about Earth and with his designer who's trying to protect him from the military. 

Craziness ensues. 




Young Frankenstein 

This Mel Brooks classic is a comedy/parody of the Frankenstein story. 




Noriko's Dinner Table


A 17-year old girl bored with her life runs away to Tokyo to meet up with her internet friend. Little does she know her new-found friend is involved in a mass suicide plot.

I watched it based on Netflix's recommendation and I was pleased to find out that it's associated with Suicide Club. This movie fills in on a lot of back story and adds more explanation to Suicide Club so just that alone made me enjoy this movie a lot more.

If you haven't seen Suicide Club, omgz, you have to see it like right now! BUT it's ok to watch this one first. 





Have a great weekend folks!

Friday Film Recommendations: Jan 13th




Happy Friday the 13th everyone! 


This week's selection has a remake, spiffy doc, a movie with failed potential and of course a Jason flick. It's a wide range of movies to pick from so check them out via Netflix Instant Watch. 


Carrie (remake)


This remake takes on a different spin from the classic film. The aftermath of the traumatic event of the prom has Sue Snell in a police station re-telling the story of the bullied Carrie White. She flashes back to everything that led Carrie to lose her shit and kill everyone.


I don't think this is a bad remake, it's just ok but Angela Bettis rocks so there's one up. It might be an interesting comparison to the new remake that is in the works. Bleh. 






Watch Now 


Yellow Brick Road


Explorers who want to write a book/document a small town's 70 year-old mysterious history involving the entire town disappearing while traveling down a trail.  


Folks, I don't know what to tell you about this one. I'm recommending it so people can feel the same pain I did. This movie had soooooo much potential. I was all up in it, totally creeped out and then *fart* the ending was poop. They literally pooped out a random ending that had nothing to do with anything. I haven't seen The Devil Inside yet but I heard the ending was not good. After seeing this, I know the feeling. Again, it angers me because this movie was just so good up until the last 5 minutes so watch with caution. 


And if you do choose to see this and watch the last 5 minutes, you have to let me know what you think. 






Watch Now 


American Grindhouse


This documentary takes a look at the history and evolution of grindhouse films all while interviewing awesome people like David Hess, John Landis, Joe Dante and many more! 






Watch Now 


Jason X


So of course it being Friday the 13th, I had to add a Friday the 13th movie in this week's mix. 


In this "final" Friday movie (pffft) Jason is back and now with a spiffy power to take over someone's body all via touch! Whaaa? Yeah, think Wes Craven's Shocker and that Dez Washington movie Fallen only with Jason.








Watch Now 




Have a great weekend folks
