I watched a classic 80's flick last night The Hitcher with C. Thomas Howell and one of my favorites Rutger Hauer.

Been a long time since I've seen that! That's a great movie. I need to see it said again.

It was pretty cheesy.  But nostalgic cheesy.    I found myself drawing parallels between Hauer's "Hitchhiker" character in this film and the "Nexus 6 Replicant" character he played in Blade Runner.

Tomorrow Never Dies
The World Is Not Enough
Season 3 of Person of Interest

Andor.

As some of you know, I don't like anything that Disney has done within the Star Wars universe.  The Force Awakens was great, but after that it went down hill pretty fast.  Some series were okay, but they all came with certain baggage.

Andor was pretty good though.  The first 3 episodes have been a bit of a slow burner, and it's not the greatest series ever.  But the world building has been great, and the atmosphere is spot on!

The wife mentioned that the other day.  I think we will probably give it a try.

Oh wow the O.G. Nutty P!
I'm pretty certain I haven't seen all of that one (just clips).
I'm assuming you've seen the 90's era remake with Eddie Murphy.

Yeah, I can remember seeing the Eddie version way back when (in the 90’s). I came across the OG version on Prime and had to see it.

Episode 4 was really good too.

Die Another Day

28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Wolf of Snow Hollow (well acted, but lots of profanity)

28 Days Later is amazing.  Weeks was pretty lame in comparison IMO.

I thought that Wolf Of Snow Hollow flick looked good.  Other than the profanity, did you like it and would recommend it?

28 Weeks Later had a bigger budget and bigger name actors... and it blew chunks compared the 28 Days.
Just really hard to catch that "lightning in a bottle" kind of thing they had with the first film.

I really liked the Wolf Of Snow Hollow.  The Sherriff's Deputy that is leading the investigation really makes the movie (Jim Cummings).  He also directs the film.  But the character is funny and tragic at the same time, while these horrible slayings are going on in his small ski resort town.  Cumming's character has a bunch of personal challenges going on during the entire movie and it's almost as if you are going to see him have a complete mental break-down in the middle of trying to catch a werewolf. I would give it a four out of five thumps up. 

It's funny, I thought 28 Weeks Later started off so great and then just started sucking - only to discover that Danny Boyle (director of Days) directed the first part of Weeks, and then another guy did the rest.

The Wolf Of Snow Hollow has been on my watch-list for quite some time but I'll prioritize trying to watch it sooner than not - if I ever get a free evening!

Snake Eyes: GI Joe origins

Wrongfully Accused (1998)

^I haven't seen that one in ages but remember loving it as a kid.  Leslie Nielson was amazing.

I had been wanting to see it again for ages and it popped up on Prime , so I didn’t hesitate to watch it .

Those Airplane and Naked Gun movies with Leslie were fantastic.  I don't remember Wrongfully Accused (beyond the fact that it was a spoof on The Fugitive).  I do know some his films were less than stellar (such as Mr. Magoo, Dracula: Dead & Loving It).
I know he was in some of the "Scary Movies" as well, but I never saw any of those.

I don’t remember the scary movies too well,but basically remember being less than thrilled by them.

The Mummy (1999, Brendan Fraser)

^Classic!  Have you seen Odd Thomas?  It was from the same director and very well done IMO though I think only went straight to video.  I definitely recommend it.

The title seemed familiar but couldn’t recall it. Looked up the trailer on YT and whoa, that looks freaky creepy. Considering it is from Dean Koonts, that explains why. Now a days I tend to stray away from those.

I just finished She-Hulk.  That was absolutely horrible!  No big battles and the emasculate the Hulk.  If this is the best the MSheU has to offer, then this genre is dead.

It's been dead since right after Hawkeye.
