Viewed Saw-Spiral.
Gory as to be expected. Nice to see Chris Rock and Samuel Jackson in it. I saw the twist coming quite early. Still, an enjoyable 90 minutes. I give it 3/6 beers on the RFSRS

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Viewed Army of the Dead yesterday. Tons of gore, and new takes on different levels of zombies. Wasn't even aware the actress who played the helicopter pilot was "green screened" in after the original guy was dumped for sexual harassment charges. She was the funniest thing in the movie. I give it 4/6 beers on the RFSRS.
Army of the Dead was fun. I appreciate that it's not based on a comic book or something.
I have to say though, for a zombie action film, the first part of the film after the opening is fairly light with action. Speaking of that opening, I thought those were some of the best opening credits I've seen in a long time.
I loved the premise, Ocean's 11 with zombies. That's pretty cool. Also, two words: Zombie tiger.

Those Who Wish Me Dead. Really surprising and good. Didn’t know Michael Koryta wrote it til the closing credits. He has been on my to read list for awhile and now goes to the top.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
"Point Blank", on Netflix was pretty good. Frank Grillo & Anthony Mackie star about a nurse and a criminal who team up vs corrupt cops. Not bad as these films go. I gave it a solid 4 out of 6 beers on the RFMRS

Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality. Edgar Allan Poe
I went to see it this weekend as well and loved it. I think I liked it better than the book (though I would've liked a little more info./background about the Big Conspiracy). The action and suspense was great (especially the first cabin scene), the performances were grounded, the score was killer, and the dual threats of man-versus-man and man-versus-nature was done really well. I'm very glad I saw it on the big screen. Unfortunately, I don't think its box office totals will end up reflecting its quality.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I feel I would be remiss if I didn't mention "Charlie Wilson's War". It has become another "Shawshank" in that whenever I see it in the guide, I switch to it. Stars, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Truly great flick concerning the initial fight to get the Russians out of Afghanistan. I give it a 6 out of 6 beers on the RFMRS. It's certainly not a current film, it came out in 2007, but if you haven't seen it or, haven't seen it in awhile, DO IT!!! Trust me, it will be a treat for the day and ypu'll want to thank me, but that is not necessary. lol
I'm watching it right now on DTV channel 526 (Starz, so you can probably also view it on Amazon streaming service.

That's one I always pass over when I find the DVD at a used store. I will have to pick it up.

If you're into animated films, do yourself a favor and check out The Mitchells vs the Machines on Netflix. I know most animated films not produced by Disney and Pixar are largely ignored, but Mitchells vs. The Machines should not be overlooked. It's easily one of the best-animated films I've seen in years.

I definitely second this one. You'll find yourself cheering for their efforts to get Russia out of Afghanistan while at the same time realizing how the US created a future enemy for itself in the process. While the movie deals with such heavy material it is still a lot of fun because it doesn't take itself very seriously.
Yep, it's a true diamond in the rough.
Another "Oldie, but a goodie" that doesn't get much hype is "The Pope of Greenwich Village". It stars, Mickey Rourke before he went nuts, Eric Roberts (Classic role for him) and Burt Young. A real, true to life "New York" film that also involves the Mob. "They took my thumb, Charlie"!!! lol This film brings back many memories for me in all the subtle nuances of life in NYC pre-turn of the century. Sadly, it's a by gone era as the city just ain't what it used to be anymore.
