Get Out 7/10
An original and enjoyable enough thriller but not nearly as "amazing" as the critics make it out to be. Some I watched it with found the reverse discrimination kinda offensive.

Witchcraft (1964) 8/10 - The more I watch these old 1960's/70's British horror movies, (Hammer/Amicus, etc...) the more I'm starting to see them as a sub-genre of horror. This one was filmed Lippert Fims & is, imo, a wonderful example of "Gothic Style". Lon Channey jr., an American actor, gets top billing but he's only in the movie for about 1/3 of it. Still, I guess they were banking on an American actor to open distribution doors in the U.S. Two 600 year old British families' hatred towards one another finally comes to a head in the 60's over modern development on the secured burial grounds of one of the families. A grave yard is disturbed & a 600 year old witch is released from her magically sealed tomb. She joins her
practicing witch family against the more modernized clan & begins picking them off thru supernatural means. Extremely atmospheric & spooky, Witchcraft delivers in soft ways. No pop-outs or serious scares, this movie deals with witchcraft & wiccan practices subtlety. Well worth a watch if you like the old stuff.

Well I will say this, it doesn't really make a departure from the show. Of course a couple things are changed but my issue is they took way too long to get to the rangers part of the movie.

seems they stayed true to the base story, but I just dont like how they changed the looks of the costumes and zords so drastically, and supporting characters like rita and goldar, but I guess thats how it goes
I took my dad to see the new pirates movie for fathers day since he really likes pirates of the caribbean
POTC - dead men tell no tales - 8/10

TRANSFORMERS: The Last Knight - Took my daughter to a screening my LCS hooked me up with. FWIW, best one since the original. Still massive chunks of hot mess but fun enough & visually stunning at times. By far the least amount of humans of the films this far.
Still ultimately a 5.5/10 though.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Life - 8/10 Don't get the hate for this one. It's not high art but it kept me interested and thought it was overall good.
Passengers - 8/10 Don't get the hate for this one either. Enjoyed it.

Lust For a Vampire (Hammer, 1970) 7/10 - I tell ya, I think, after years & years of watching Hammer, I think I finally have their Karnstein Trilogy figured out. It's a 3-part trilogy, where the main vampire, Carmilla Karnstein, once again is reborn & causes vampire chaos among nubile boarding school girls. I finally figured out that each film takes place some 40 years before or after the other 2 films in the trilogy. Carmilla just keeps on getting resurrected into different sexy vampire women, never actually dying as shown at the end of each movie. Lust is the 2nd, but it really doesn't matter what order you watch them in, they're all pretty much self-contained. The thread lies in a vampire-matriarchal familiar & a bearded creepy overseer who watches all three versions of Carmilla, usually from horseback throughout the trilogy. Like the 1st movie - The Vampire Lovers, & the 3rd, Twins of Evil, Carmilla is resurrected, thrown together with isolated, 20-something schoolgirls, then goes lesbian --vampire-nuts. I know it sounds weird, but they really work on a great Hammer-Vampire-level. IMO, this is the weakest of the 3, even though it has it's moments. It's a beautiful, slow-paced, non-Dracula, Vampire movie. A little soap-opera-ee at times, the actual vampire stuff is beautiful to watch & quite horrific. Hammer spent money on the costumes & sets & you can realy see it. If you like the old stuff, watch all 3 films in Hammer's Karnstein Trilogy this summer. Based on a pre-Bram Stoker vampire novel. -
