Our Favorite Movies Day 14: Poltergeist

download (2)

Here are on day 14, this is weirdly one of the few movies on the list we have never reviewed. This isn’t about truly reviewing the movies for me, but a real quick run down the little girl in this picture gets taken by a poltergeist and the family tries to save her.  The line most people know from this movie is “They’re here.” The movie itself is pretty great, as many 80’s movies were tho many were pretty horrible. This one is remembered fondly because of how great it was. That is actually why it’s on the list. I also remember this one fondly because I actually saw it for the first time with my mother, and as far as i remember is the first one I saw with her. So definitely check this one out, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorite Movies Day 13: Hellraiser

download

Hellraiser Movie review is our day 13 movie, and why? Well its got pinhead. This movie revolves around solving a puzzle. The movie itself is quite cliché but Clive Barker made it quite brutal and is an amazing 80’s movie. This classic is worthy of this spot on the list, tho sadly the later films in the series are less than good. If you are a horror fan tho there are very few must see films, but this is on the list. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

I found a box trilogy on Amazon for those that love the series and want to support us. Feel free to check that out.

Our Favorite Movies Day 11: IT (2017)

It (2017) Yes I will say it, feel free to hate me. IT 2017 is far better than the original. I thought this when I checked out 2017 in the theaters, but recently I went back and watched the original and it was legitimately painful to watch. 2017 made this list for being both a great movie and a movie that surprised me most recently. I thought this movie was going to be horrible. From the fact it would be split in 2 to not Tim being Pennywise made this a recipe for a bad movie. What we got however was an amazing movie any horror fan would be doing themselves a disservice skipping. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Like we have been doing lately, here is a link to Amazon where you can purchase this movie. It helps us as well as gets you the movie. It 2017 on Amazon

Our Favorite Movies Day 10:Birds(1963)

Alfred Hitchcock made quite the simple movie here. Birds for some reason attack people. The magic of this movie is that we have all seen birds just hanging out, and I dare you to watch this movie and not wonder if those birds sitting on your cloths line or power line are going to kill someone.

That is why this classic is on the list for me. It was probably the first horror movie I have seen that made me think in the real world this stuff could happen. And I know @torstenvblog in real life, we hang out and drink together, and have worked together at real life jobs. The dude is semi afraid of birds and I mean that legitimately. Not like outside terrified of them, but he got one in his house and me and 2 other friends had to go over to his house and get them out. His reasoning was he saw Birds. That is a 100% true story that happened this summer, and that is why this movie deserves to be on the list. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorite Movies Day 9: Jason Goes To Hell

Jason goes to Hell: the Final Friday Is our day 9 favorite horror movie. It is also another movie that is a damn liar when it comes to the title. Tho this movie made the list because for me the ending was iconic and was really our first confirmation that a Freddy Vs Jason (Jason’s side) would actually happen. Just seeing Freddy’s hand rip Jason’s mask down to hell to me was amazing. Me and friends used to debate as kids who would, and that was the first time we saw them together in any capacity. The movie itself was also pretty solid but the ending? That secures it a place from me. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Worst Horror Movie I’ve Seen, 11/11/11

Every so often I see a bad movie. Its kind of the nature of the beast, I also occasionally play some real crap games. It happens and I accept that. It isn’t very often I see a movie i consider a complete waste of time tho. This one tho, probably takes the cake in the shit sandwich department. Seriously, this thing has a huge 7% on rotten tomatoes and I feel that might be way to high. If you care about the god awful story you can read about it on Wikipedia but I don’t even suggest that. It is about as cliché as it comes and revolves heavily around the date being 11/11/11, no longer believing in god, a child being the Antichrist and I am fairly sure there was an Indian burial ground in there as well.

The acting, the script the whole movie was just bad. There really weren’t any redeeming qualities to speak off, just don’t watch this movie. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorites Day7: Scream

Scream is the 1996 Wes Craven movie that spawned a sort of resurgence in horror movies for a bit. It wasn’t the best horror movie of the 90’s, but it was possibly the most popular. This is part of why it makes the list. The movie itself while good and maybe even great, it is what it represents that is important. Horror movies weren’t dead or anything like that but people were losing interest. Along came scream, renewing the main stream interest. I remember being in school and people who never even discussed horror movies talking about it. This was really the first time I remember people being that excited over a single horror movie, and that is why this made the list. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Movies We Love Day 6:Zombieland

Zombieland Now you guys had to have known this movie would show up today after this mornings post about Zombieland 2. This one is great for so many reason to me. It has a great story, great cast and is simply funny as hell. Whether its Woody yelling “Thank god for rednecks” while shooting a fully automatic weapon or Bill Murray simply being Bill Murray. I don’t really have any fond childhood or heartwarming memories, I honestly just really enjoy it for what it is. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorites Day 5: Night of The Living Dead

Night of the Living Dead by George A Romero  is a classic zombie movie. And as I learned last year due to some forgotten paper work when it was made it has always been considered public domain, meaning you can find the entire movie on YouTube. I can also post it right here for you to watch. Seriously if you haven’t seen it, watch it below.

When I was a kid me and my dear old father used to watch monster movies every year when he was on vacation from work. He was an EMT and worked a lot, so when he went on vacation we would collect a huge pile of movies, usually Godzilla and vampires and stuff. That being said he also introduced me to this movie. It was the first black and white movie I ever watched and also to my knowledge the first zombie movie. My dad died last year of cancer and 2 of my 3 kids don’t really enjoy these types of movies the way me and my old man did, but me and my middle daughter still watched this together. Will also be sure to watch it with my youngest when she is older as well. Which is why this movie is on my list. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Our Favorites Day 4: Freddy’s Dead

Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) Day 4 of out favorite movies is actually one me and @torstenvblog greatly disagree on. See i have fond memories of this horror/comedy and greatly enjoy this movie. I understand why so many people don’t, but this was the first movie I saw that showed that a movie could be both horror and comedy successfully. Tho I am greatly disappointed Tom Arnold and Rosanne didn’t get murdered.

The movie itself also had everything I like. Gross deaths? Yup, gotta love the nail on the chalkboard scene. Comedy? Yea I laughed at “The map says we’re fucked” after the kept driving in circles.  The movie’s title was a pretty big lie tho. The final nightmare? Come on there were movies after. Regardless this movie made my half of the list, tho @torstenvblog did mock me a bit as always. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
