Show.. show... show...

Well another weekend, another odd set of shows.. Let me just say.. It was fun..  ...

Friday Night... This happened.. :

Days of Thunder.. Tom Cruise stars in this flick and if you had your eyes closed for the first minute or so could you tell which movie was starting, Days of Thunder or Top Gun.  Until Kenny Loggins kicks in with that synthi bass line of Danger Zone, then you can tell.. It literally is about the same music and for that matter story line.. Who saw that coming.. Back when I first bought this.. Yes I have this on VHS..  Why watch it on netflix??  Just because.. But when I first had this on tape it was really a way to show off the surround sound system.. Netflix can be limited on the surround sound, it does have surround sound but not as deep.. 

Kathleen Madigan..  Watching her it's like she is so relaxed at what she is doing.. Very funny as well..

Jane Fonda is Barbarella..  And she was really cute back in '68....  Yep another movie I had never seen all of before..

Anti-Social is the movie to fear.. Could this actually happen today?? The answer to that is what do you mean could this happen now, it already IS..  Except for the turning rabid, which sort of still is.. There are parts of this movie that have other movies like it thrown in.. The 28 days later feel, that RAGE virus thing.. The end is the beginning and it just goes on and on.. That part isn't in this movie but the part that is, the virus being spread by watching a video.. That part is real.. to a certain extant..

Women who kill.. With Amy Schumer as the headliner.. She's funny and I heard her on the old Opie and Anthony show.. She was so funny on their show, I knew she would break eventually and here three years later she is everywhere..

Hanger 10.. What can I say about this movie??  Well.. it's very.. well ...  um... it's alright.. I mean fairly predictable but interesting none the less.. It seems the smaller the cast of these UFO type of movies the more scary it can be.. The scary in this instance is suspense and nearly no blood and guts..   There are other movies like this, Area 51 for example, where the smaller the cast seemed to help.. In the case of Hanger 10 we see them as ultra cool with each other. Then they get into day two and the movie has that Blair witch feel to it as our heroes get lost in the woods.. The shaky camera and spotty sound help to enhance the freakout that is forthcoming and there are predictable gags scattered throughout the movie.. You just gotta love them.. Sound effects and screaming.. Yelling by the guys and moaning from out there beyond vision.. WHAT IS THAT??
