movie # 2- Never Sleep again- One of the best documentaries on movies i've seen i a long time. It's sad that this doc is more detailed and in depth than anything lucas has put out on Star Wars.
It seems like a lot of the movies had to be trimmed down to get an R. I wonder if we'll ever get the uncut versions on blu in the future?
Also didn't know how gay Nightmare 2 was! I have to go back and watch that movie again

That's amazing. As I've gotten older, I've become an "early-to-bed, early-to-rise" kind of guy (although I'm still waiting for the "makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" part to materialize). I'd see more movies in theaters if they ran in the mornings for $5 a ticket. If one of the multiplexes near my office in midtown Manhattan did that, I'd definitely catch a movie there before going into work every once in a while. Maybe not something long or a loud blockbuster, but something like MONEYBALL. ("Sorry I'm late. I had a doctor's appointment. With a Dr. Pitt.")
It's really weird how few people take advantage of the offer. Me and my wife were alone when we saw Dream House the other day.
Qualification question: would the movie Android count for the challenge?

^ here in the DC area it's 6 bucks before noon. I do it all the time, they even discount the ETX and IMAX screen prices - something that Regal doesn't do (assholes)

I watched the Rifftrax Live show of House on Haunted Hill last night. It was fun and we watched the slide show they show in the theater, which was a nice for them to have included.
For some reason, I can never remember the movie even though I've seen it multiple times. I always confuse it with some other similar movie whose name I can never remember.

Just found Resident evil 1-4 and Hellraiser 1-6 on Amazon through partner sellers for about $40, so I'm happy. Hellraiser is the barebones movies, but for 6 movies for about $20, not a bad deal.

There was one that was something like "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to trick audiences into thinking Paranormal Activity was a watchable film". There was also a Movie First Drafts of The Sixth Sense with "I see dead people and I see you too because you're dead". I know I'm not remembering it well and I'm butchering it.

Joe Spinell's creepiness and Caroline Munro's hotness in Maniac, are ridiculously confusing.

'Tuck and Dale' might be still playing at the West End Cinema - don't know the schedule yet.

Just watched the 2007 version of The Hitcher and thought it was solid. Sad, but I haven't actually seen the original yet. Seeing all the positive reviews for that one, how much of a dissservice did I do to myself by not checking that one out first?

I'm slightly annoyed with myself. I just got back from lunch. I brought my laptop and a few movies. I had been preparing myself beforehand for The Golem, though. I sit down to eat, fire up the laptop, open up the case only to discover it empty. Why? Because I had removed it and put it in a separate folder, along with a few other titles, when I went out of town last year during the horror challenge. Yep, I never returned the DVDs to their cases.
Oh, well. I shook that off and was able to watch about 25 minutes or so of Axe, which seems to have become a horror challenge tradition for me (primarily because of its short run time but also for some of the checklist items this year).

Yeah, it starting on a Saturday this year threw me way off too. I managed to sneak in 9 over the weekend, which is about the norm for me in these things. There are definitely some pretty high numbers early on here.

Depending on which cable provider you have, you may be able to sign up with www.epix.com for free and they have the 1920 version of The Golem for streaming.
Speaking for myself, I tend to have big weekends and then taper off during the work week. I'm betting others are the same way.

Saturday and Sunday were cold and rainy, so I just had marathons both days. I doubt I'll watch many movies this week, though.

In honor of today's theme, One Good Ripoff Deserves Another - JawsSploitation, I present....
BEAKS: The Movie
I'm watching on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6jMoHQDPLo
Cheezy '80s goodness. Guilty pleasure, indeed.
And thanks, Chad for a point in this direction. Never even heard of "JawsSploitation" until this year's challenge. Could very well have missed it in the past, though. But enjoying the heck out of it now!

I need to knock a non-qualifying movie out of the way for my personal goal list, but for JawsSploitation I'm going to watch The White Buffalo. Charles Bronson as Wild Bill Hickock? Sold.

Not to be a Negative Nelly but I really didn't care for that movie. It wasn't the gore or anything but the plot in general. It wasn't bad in a incoherent mess, sort of way but the reasoning behind everything that happened.

Orca the Killer Whale was better than I expected.
Next up I'm leaning towards The Most Dangeous Game.
I never understood the fanfare Martyrs gots either. The first half was taunt and mysterious but it all crashed in the later segment when the reasoning was revealed.

Uh oh. You guys are getting me worried. I did a blind buy of Martyrs with my REC Blu-ray set based on all the positive things I had heard about it. I guess I'll find out soon enough which side of the fence I'm on.

I'm working my way through it but I agree. When the lady was giving the speech in the beginning, I couldn't tell if she was trying to get orcas lynched or not.
I was getting the impression she was trying to get the class to believe they were some sort of genius killing machines that would one day send some message across the globe to start eating us. Hell, I'm not that far into it, so maybe that's what does happen. Then in the next scene she's complaining that the guy is trying to catch them because they're really great and shouldn't be killed or caught. Pick a side lady.
