I showed Beetlejuice to a friend who's never seen it the other night, and it was also the first time I watched it in a long while. So relieved to find out it's aged pretty well after all these years. Alec Baldwin is completely unrecognizable, Winona Ryder is cute, and it's still the great horror comedy I remembered it as.
The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

The Karate Kid remake with Jackie Chan. Watched it on FX Movies last night.
The original Karate Kid with Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio was one of the best movies of the 1980s. When I first heard they were going to remake it, I had low expectations for it because I thought it was going to be awful, but I was proven wrong when I first saw it. Definitely not as good as the original (as most remakes tend to be), but I would still give it a chance. 3.5 out of 5

Fullmetal Alchemist (2018)
I had never watched the original anime version of it, but this live-action version was really well done and captured my interest throughout. The only problem I have with Japanese movies in general is the tendency for them to be overly dramatic and therefore overacted at times. But since this is a sci-fi film, it doesn't stand out so much. 3.5/5 You love this signature.

The live-action He-Man movie with Dolph Lundgren from 1987.
I watched this film out of curiosity as to find out how bad this movie really is, and I found myself laughing at how bad it actually was. The makeup on Skeletor looks awful, it strays far from the source material, and it's quite obvious it suffers from Star Wars/Conan envy, but I had a good ol time watching it. 1.5 out of 5, but on a so-bad-it's-good scale, 3.5 out of 5

I always thought the Eternia sets and costumes were actually pretty great (in a cheesy sci fi kind of way). It would've been a much better movie if it spent more time in Eternia and less time on Earth with those stupid kids.

Deuces Wild
The 1950s. The decade of doo-wop, Cadillacs, and greasers. Definitely an enjoyable crime film. This is an underrated one, but sometimes underrated films are watchable. 3 1/2 stars. "Magic can happen to you."

jkatz wrote :Agreed. Though it was pretty clear that the budget for the film was going to allow them to do much on Eternia. I know that is one thing Gary Goddard was really upset about. As for Skeletor, I think better makeup could have been done. Looking forward to the new movie, and hoping it makes up for the original's many shortcomings. You love this signature.

Happy Death Day (2017)
Last night there was nothing on TV, so me and my father looked at our cable company's On Demand service to see what movies they had to offer. He wanted to watch that film Three Billboards, but I told him I wasn't interested so we continued looking. We eventually found a horror film that looked kind of cool called Happy Death Day. So we decided to settle on that. My aunt joined us and all three of us watched this. I wasted over an hour and a half of my life that I will never be able to get back watching this film. I legitimately feel like I was robbed of something. The film is simple: it's Groundhog Day meets Scream. Essentially a girl gets murdered at the end of the night on the day that the film starts on, and she wakes up every morning on that same day. She has to figure out who her murderer is so she can break the cycle. There is nothing at all good about this film. It's just terrible in every aspect. It doesn't even have the "so bad it's good" aspect that other bad films have. There's nothing redeeming at all about this film. And I'm not joking about this being a clone of Groundhog Day either. In one of the final scenes of the movie, a character says "This entire ordeal is similar to Groundhog Day." Whoever wrote this film legitimately wrote that line into the film as a reference. As soon as they said, we all looked at each other with our hands in the air, mouths open and in silence because we couldn't believe they actually wrote that into the film. Overall, this movie is crap and I will likely not watch it ever again. My father complained we should of just seen Three Billboards before saying that I no longer have any say in what movies we watch. 1/5 *Insert funny signature here*
