Tonight we watched 47 Meters Down: Uncaged. First up, it's hard to call this a sequel to the first movie. While there are a bunch of the same things, like girls and scuba and sharks, these people are never actually 47 meters down. It's sort of a dumb title. The crazy thing is, it's the same writing and directing crew, with Johannes Roberts doing ( Read more... )

Tonight we watched a recommendation from Heidi, Blood Feast. Directed by Herschel Gordon Lewis, it stars Thomas Wood, Connie Mason, and Mal Arnold. A serial killer is attacking young women and taking their parts. Could the caterer be the culprit? It's an exploitation film filled with simulated gore and some seriously bad acting. I'm pretty sure I ( Read more... )

We watched two movies today: Muppets Haunted Mansion and Haunt.

Gregg really wanted to watch the Muppets Haunted Mansion. I admit, I do love the Muppets, even if I like the older ones better than these modern ones. However, I love Gonzo, and Gregg loves Pepe. So, it was a shoo-in to watch this year. Directed by Kirk R. Thatcher, it stars the human ( Read more... )
