From the Terrifier team comes this Strangers-esque slasher where hotel guests are locked inside and cut-off from wi-fi and cell service while masked psychos set out to kill the guests in a live-streamed competition.
The cast is great if you're a horror fan. Jeffrey Combs plays the eccentric psycho running the hotel, donning some attire that reminds me of the fisherman in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer in which he played... an asshole resort manager. What's good about this is that he's finally not being reduced to a bit part, but he's an actual main character.
David Howard Thornton plays yet another Art the Clown knock-off. They cast him for his exaggerated mannerisms an lanky appearance, and that's what you get with his killer. There's also a beefcake and a busty killer, too. I do love boobs.
Our main protagonists are a family here for a getaway. Dad means well, mom is Danielle Harris, the son is a technology addict, and the daughter is a cliche who is surely attactive, but also has a distracting underbite of a jaw. That thing is the real star of the show.
I was also surprised to see Tim Reid who played Mike Hanlon in the 1990s "It". You also have appearances by Daniel Roebuck as a drunken bastard, Felissa Rose as that guy's pissed off wife, Dee Wallace, Tony Todd, Mark Holton who played the fat asshole in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and most importantly to me... Danielle Harris! Of course, it's in her contract to die in every movie she's in, but she was there for a chunk of it, and Dave Sheridan was flirting with her in a cringeworthy scene.
You also have:
Terry Alexander from Day of the Dead... apparently?
Tim Curry: Didn't see him in there at all...
Bill Moseley: Also didn't see him anywhere...
Terry Kiser: No idea where. Probably a corpse from the get-go...
What the fuck is up with all these big names I can't see? I was actually paying almost full attention to the movie, too, which I don't normally do.
It's pretty violent, sadistic, a bit overly long, and it has a stupid fucking ending that's so dumb, I LOL'ed. I guess this movie is also similar to Laid to Rest in which the killer live-streamed his kills, and Danielle Harris had a cameo in the sequel to that one. A sequel is in the works called "ST2EAM", which is kinda weird. I'll probably watch it.

#ViolentCity (1970)
Jeff (Charles Bronson) is a hitman going against Al (Telly Savalas) and falling in love with Vanessa (Jill Ireland), a girl he's supposed to take out. Jill was Bronson's main squeeze in life, having stolen her David McCallum, so the lust is real!
This movie is Italian and feels like it. It starts off with a great car chase through the claustrophobic streets of the Virgin Islands. I normally don't care for car chases, but this one grabbed me. There's something captivating about that Italian style.
Things calm down a bit for most of the movie, but Charlie always plays it cool and the Ennio Morricone score helps a lot. It came out in 1970, but the movie was trying to cash in on the success of The Godfather for its 1973 U.S. release, but the only real similarity is a crime boss.
One of the better Bronson flicks I've seen outside of the Death Wish series, and an interesting downer finale.

#RIP to Tom Noonan. Man, they're dropping like flies!
I remember him primarily as The Ripper from Last Action Hero and Cain in RoboCop 2, but a lot of people know him from Monster Squad and Manhunter. He was also in the great Ti West movie House of the Devil. RIP Ripper.

Markus's TDS corner! #TDSmarkus
Trump was recently heard telling a reporter "you can't have guns, you can't walk in with guns". He is of course referring to the shooting of Alex Pretti and the fact that he was, legally I might add, carrying a gun when he was shot. Except we all know, plain as day, that he was disarmed by the ICE agents before he was shot. Trump knows ICE are in a bit of hot water over this. Two of the agents have been put on leave and he's apparently trying to de-escalate the situation in Minneapolis by sending in the "border tsar". But what does he really mean by "you can't have guns"? Does he really mean liberals, like Pretti, should not be allowed to carry guns but it's probably perfectly okay for conservatives to carry guns? Or he is just having a reflective moment about about gun control in America and he's speaking out loud? Of course he's never said that after any mass shooting, in a school or something. Either way, he's upset the NRA, who are on the side of Pretti. I swear Trump has no ideologies about anything much, he'll just say what he thinks is right at the time or whatever fits the narrative he's going with, even if it contradicts something that is well known, i.e. the 2nd Amendment allows all Americans to own and carry guns. So um, yeah you can have them..
Basically this is Trump's state of mind:
Pretti is shot by ICE - Gets Noem to again go with the "must be a domestic terrorist" rhetoric. However, video footage definitely does not favour ICE this time, so he listens to other Republicans, decides to "de-escalate" and sends in the Border Tsar. Admits that Pretti didn't deserve to die but he was carring a gun so it was, kind of, justified? Remembers there is something called the 2nd Amendment, but still goes with the "you can't carry guns" narrative because he doesn't know how to else to make ICE come out looking OK in this.
Here's the thing. Why doesn't Trump just come out and say, look, this ICE agent might have fucked up. People can make mistakes in the heat of the moment (or however he wants to spin it) but that it's being investigated internally as they are being placed on leave. Hell, he might even gain a bit of respect from some on the left. But he can't and won't do that, will he...

#CastleFalls (2021)
Directed by Dolph Lundgren himself! Castle Falls is about two characters caught in the crossfire over a fat sack of cash. Scott Adkins is working with a demolition crew about to destroy an old hospital, but he finds a wad of money hidden inside. Dolph is a prison security guard who gets word of the money from an inmate and wants to use it to save his sick daughter's life. They're both ater the money, but so is a gang of ruthless criminals.
This movie was a pretty solid. Competent, high stakes, and violent. Our protagonists are panicked and desperate, not impervious to fear and damage like they usually portray, and that human element is what's missing from a lot of Hollywood action romps.

#RIP Robert Duvall.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised he was still alive. You hadn't heard much about him in years.
The Godfather 1 & 2 are great. I always felt like they shafted his character in that because he wasn't blood related, but also because they excluded him entirely in part 3.
To Kill a Mockingbird was one of his earliest. I remember watching that in school and he pops up as Boo Radley.
He loved the smell of napalm in the morning.
The Sixth Day was also decent.

WTF is up with those #UniversalSoldier sequels?
The first one came out in 1992 when Van Damme was kicking ass. It's an okay film. I'd see them selling copies of it all the time at the grocery store back in the day.
Six years later, they did 2 back-to-back DTV movies. I finally watched them. The second was okay at best, featuring Gary Busey as the main villain and a recast Luc Devereaux. The new guy did an okay job as the stoic bad-ass. The third one kinda sucked, though.
This was 1998 mind you, and these two films were chock-full of 90s alternative music to the point of being distracting and feeling out of place. My sister and I were laughing at their failed attempts to be cool.
Both sequels featured Burt Reynolds as the bad guy pulling the strings. They set it up for a TV show continuation, but at that point, nobody cared to follow up that thread, because while they were making these shit-shows, Van Damme was making his own proper sequel. That's why I find this whole mess so confusing.
So Van Damme comes back to put the series back on the right track. It's not exactly the same vibe as the original, but I still enjoy the movie. Audiences, however, did not, and the movie killed the franchise for another 10 years.
So Van Damme comes back to put the series back on the right track. Again. This time is more fitting because it's violent and also has Dolph again, even though it makes no sense how they can keep bringing him back after he gets obliterated, but whatever. It's a decent entry.
Then, they throw all that out the window and make Van Damme the bad guy for the next one, and Scott Adkins (usually a bad-ass) is constantly getting his ass kicked throughout the entire movie. And Dolph is back again when there's no plausible way for that to happen. So yeah, I'm not sure wtf is going on with this series.

Happy #FridayThe13th!!
The first of three this year: February, March, and November. Allow me to blather on, because there's some "news". As for stupid things, the short film "Sweet Revenge" was taken down a while ago and for no reason, so if you didn't see it when it came out, you're fucked.
The TV show is still in the works, but Harry Manfredini is reportedly attached to do at least some small bit of the score, which is awesome. A Jason movie isn't a Jason movie without his score, as evident with the 2009 movie. This show will probably get released in another 10 years at the rate it's been going.
Since the lawsuit is apparently over, there are murmurings of a new movie. I wont hold my breath just yet.
And NECA is finally putting out a Part 8 and a Jason Goes to Hell figure (versions from "The Game"), so they already have my money. I recently grabbed a re-release of the Part 3 figure, because I'm such a sucker.
Now, the hardest part of my day... figuring out which of the movies I'll watch tonight...
