Re: movies
Hey @Coffee, Jeff Besos, the creep pervert that he is, was spying on me but the good that came out of it is that he recommended a series I hadn't heard of so I just took the plunge and bought it and it was baddass!
Vampire in Venice aka Nosferatu in Venice (1988) Christopher Plummer is a professor looking for the vampire who terrorized a family of nobility in Italy 200 years before. They summon the vampire (Klaus Kinski) and the terror resumes. Why did they do this? The vampire hadn’t bothered anyone in 200 years. Donald Pleasance was a priest. Confusing movie, some very good nudity near the end.
Homewrecker (2019) Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes) meets a woman a few years older at the gym, is invited over to her house and soon finds herself held against her will. Precious (daughter of Tommy) Chong is pretty good as the psycho-stalker, who forces her abductee to watch 80s movies and play board games aimed at 13 year old girls. Basically a two-person movie, not bad and a pretty easy watch at 75 minutes.
Swamp Thing (1982) Adrienne Barbeau is federal agent protecting a government project where Professor Ray Wise is working on a formula to make plants grow faster for the good of humanity, but the evil Arcane and his band of mercenaries (including David Hess) hijack the experiment and leave most of them for dead. Adrienne is on the run, and Ray is doused with his volatile formula, which turns him into an ass-kicking, superhero plant-man (though the monster is a different actor). Most of the fight scenes involve Swamp Thing throwing someone. No punching, no stomping, lots of throwing. Wes Craven adapted and directed this comic book tale for a PG audience, BUT…If you can get the unrated version in which extra scenes were filmed for a European audience, you'll see an extended swamp-bath that includes gratuitous Adrienne, as well as a couple topless beauties hosting a dinner party.
Kalifornia (1993) David Duchovny and Michelle Forbes drive cross-country writing and photographing a book about serial killer sites, and take a couple strangers along for the ride to share expenses. That would be redneck Brad Pitt, who happens to be a serial killer himself (what are the odds?) and leaves an undetected trail of bodies just about every time they stop the car, and his child-brained girlfriend Juliette Lewis, who steals every scene she’s in. Fun movie, I’d probably seen a half dozen times, but not for 20 years!
Pledge Night (1988) After an excruciating 45 minutes of brain-dead fraternity hazing pranks, most of them including butts, suddenly the one nutzo frat brother starts stabbing everyone. Or is he possessed by the soul of a hippie kid who was hazed to death 20 years ago? Anthrax’s Joey Belladonna plays the dead kid in the flashback, and Anthrax does the soundtrack. As tedious as the first half was, when all was said and done, there was a large body count and about a half dozen local girls took their tops off in this offbeat New York indie. First feature from Paul Zeller, who’s done nothing particularly good, though he does have over 50 directing credits and a lot of them are SyFy originals!
Stoker (2013) Park Chan-Wook’s (Oldboy) homage to Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt was a lot of style over substance. Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman are a mother and daughter at odds, and the relationship is further strained when “Uncle Charlie”, the mysterious and possibly dangerous brother of Kidman’s recently deceased husband comes to stay. Lots of good visuals, the movie itself was not bad. Worth a one-timer.
The Zero Boys (1986) Three couples inexplicably decide to squat in an obviously lived-in cabin they happen upon during a camping trip, and become targets of the hunting family that lives there. They fight back using their trophy winning paint-ball skills. 80s favorite Kelly Maroney (Chopping Mall, Night of the Comet) spends much of the fist half bouncing around braless in a loose tank top. That would be the highlight.
Rica aka Konketsuji Rika (1972) A schoolgirl is raped by GIs during the Korean War gives birth to "Half-Breed" Rica, then falls into a life of prostitution and drug abuse. Rica, a constant victim of sexual abuse herself, grows into a gang leader, but when her friends are kidnapped and sold into the sex trade in Vietnam, she sets on deadly revenge. When she's not doing that, she's constantly getting arrested and escaping from juvy, while keeping a rivalry with another gang leader burning. The story was a mess but loaded with nudity and gallons of spurting blood, and Rica had the cutest psychedelic outfits! The first of a trilogy as Toho joins the Pinky genre, and Rika Aoki stars in all three. She would only be in one other film.
Near Dark (1987) A cowboy ladies-man picks up the wrong lady at a bar and she turns him into a vampire. He joins the shit-kicker vampire crew that rides around in a van looking for victims and includes Bill Paxton, Lance Henrickson and Jenette Goldstein, all stars of the previous year’s Aliens! They couldn’t get Newt to play the little sister? I mean vampires mostly come at night too. Mostly. Director Katherine Bigelow was married to James Cameron, I guess they share everything! Tim “Dollman” Thomerson was and angry farmer-turned-vamp-hunter. There was three sequences in a row, the barroom massacre, police shootout, and the motel scene were pretty cool, but overall not quite as great as I remember. Nothing wrong with revisiting this one every 10 years or so.

Black Widow (2021) Loved this one, Scarlett Johansen is great, but Florence Pugh shines as her sister.
