The last movie you watched?

Just watched in parts "Night of the Lupus". 1972....Rory Calhoun, Stuart Whitman and DeForest Kelly who played Bones McCoy in Star Trek. That is why I tuned in. Large Rabbits who eat meat. That includes people. Bones mailed it in. Not good.
 
Just last night, I watched Bill & Ted Face the Music.

I wasn't that impressed with it.

Where the first two Bill & Ted movies left off, all those many years ago, they really didn't need a sequel. The new movie did nothing to change my mind about this point.

It was worth watching, but I don't think it was nearly as good as the two movies that preceded it.
 
Now watching . Where Eagles Dare. Richard Burton , Clint Eastwood WW2movie
 
Silver Linings Playbook. A crazy love story starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

I was looking for something to watch and went through a list of 50 of the "best" films on Netflix; this was the only one that seemed like it could be tolerable. It wasn't bad, but considering it was the apparent best one out of fifty, that is sad.
 
I was flipping around the dial this afternoon and came across the "classic" horror picture, "Son of Frankenstein," a sequel to the original Frankenstein. Karloff (of course) played the "monster" and Bela Lugosi played Ygor, the original Dr. Frankenstein's lab assistant. Ygor has a permanently crooked neck, reportedly the result of a botched hanging/execution for the crime of body snatching. We know all about that, eh?

Of course, by today's standards it was incredibly hokey and more humorous than frightening.

And I wonder who, exactly, was the 1930's target audience for this film. Kids might have liked it (I liked this stuff when I was a kid), but did it also thrill the adult audience during the Depression?

In Pittsburgh, we used to have a Saturday night film program called, Chiller Theater, in which the host, a local DJ named Bill Cardille, would play a scary movie with added humorous commentary. Those were the days, my friends.
 
According to my parents it scared the heck out of them and my grand parents. It was for adults 100%.
 
A late ,late show movie ,called Moby Dick 2010. A modern version of the 19 century Herman Melville novel. It had some good spots .And wasn't a real bad movie but I can see why was on the late late show. Mad captain of a U.S nuclear sub chases a giant prehistoric type whale. I would not pay to see at the theater but for the T.V early in the A.M. it was pretty good.
 
I watched a movie called "Victor Frankenstein" last night, which was pretty much everything wrong with Hollywood.

Igor the Hunchback is a Gary Stu (the male version of a Mary Sue), and they don't get to the monster until the last 10 minutes and it's boring.
