I always thought it was f*cking stupid to make a Warcraft movie. You could never do the plot justice with a single movie.
They should have done some kind of animated mini series instead. That could of been good.
At this point if you just took a bunch of cut scenes from the game and spliced them together..THAT would be superior to the movie.
The Hills have eyes (2006 remake)
Solid film all things considered, though the effects and camera work could be shoddy at times. Like the scene where the father gets burned alive the effects just look cheap, and the effects of the mutants at time seem really plastic looking. Overall though the acting was good for this type of horror film (much better than Zombie's films from the same period), and the scenes where the family got revenge were all done well.
6.5/10
31.
I made it into 30 minutes and stopped, Zombie's dialogue was cringe worthy and he kept having tons of absurd closeups in the van. No thanks to this horseshit.

I don't judge you and your chicken fetish. 😆

I actually rather enjoyed The Hills Have Eyes remake. It's been a while, though.
As far as Zombie goes, I haven't seen 31 yet (sounds like I should avoid it), but The Lords of Salem is the only film I've seen by him that is a legitimately good movie. It honestly feels like a very different filmmaker, heh. It's much more mature and genuinely interesting, with great visuals on a low budget. It actually approaches Kubrick status.
The Color of Money-
Was looking through Tom Cruise's back catalog and because a hardcore band I known named all of their songs off of his past films. So I came across this one and was interested in the title/the fact Scorsese helmed it. Cruise in his prime in the eighties being one of the top actors of that decade, and the movie true to form has Cruise giving a multifaceted performance. At first when Felson finds him he's raw talent, unmolded but with high potential to excel in hustling/pool as Eddie soon finds out. Seeing him work with a veteran actor like Paul Newman was stellar, especially since the film blurs the line between whose deceiving/hustling who well until the end. Edie sees a talent similar to himself in the Hustler (haven't seen it yet), and molds him while skimming a little from the top though Vincent later matures and eventually beats him at his own game from the same lessons he learned. Overall, the group going from city to city to dusty pool halls, and the blurring of the line between genuine compassion between teacher/student made for a great film. Scorsese made a film about pool interesting, and inserted a great drama about road trips and hustling. 9/10
Boogie Nights
Growing up this was one of the films I may have caught snippets of, but never actually seen in full. The name of the film seems to conjure images of disco, or some late-Seventies drama, but when I finally sat down and watched the film I was blown away. The ensemble cast alternates between the main character Diggler's main character, to Cheadle's, to Julian Anderson's characters all so seamlessly- that it doesn't detract from Diggler's rise and fall all while melding the secondary characters backstories so well while depicting the excesses of the Golden age of porn/Seventies/Eighties. We see Buck's failed business ventures, Amber's addiction/loss of a child, and a young man become an addict, overnight celebrity, to fall and find his place again with the same people. It was a roller coaster of intense scenes, a great period piece, and just an overall amazing movie. It melded all of the characters easily and finished the film by humanizing them even with the flaws and the problems they faced. I really can't believe it took me this long to see this movie, I loved it.
10/10

DaybreakersAgain. Classic Dafoe. Actually a pretty legit good movie. Underappreciated for sure.
The ending was a bit uh...disturbing.
All those soldiers jumping on each other ripping at each other's clothes & throats.
I wish they focussed a bit more on the full blown mutants.
