Hope you are doing well. Fortunately I didn't have surgery until this morning, (went mostly well). So with the extra time off work I doubled my goal of 50. I was home by 11:30 this morning, slept til 4 and was able to get one last movie in before I had to go to the E.R. for a minor...

98. Monster Hunter - 4k Disc - Milla Jovovich and her team of soldiers find themselves in a strange land after a weird storm. Quickly losing her squad to a giant horned worm and a group of giant scorpions, she must team with a local and, despite a language barrier, learn how to take down the...

96. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - 4k Disc - The scream factory Blu-ray of this looked great, but this is one of my favorite Halloween films and I couldn't resist the allure of a new restoration from the 35MM OCN. So I bought this again on 4k. It is a little grainier in some scenes and a...

I feel the same way. I loved it on HBO when I was 13, probably because of the transformation and because it showed full frontal nudity. But years later I think I bought it on DVD and thought it was pretty bad.

93. The Fog - 4k Disc - I love the opening of this film with John Houseman telling a spooky story as only he can to a group of kids around the campfire. That tale then unfolds in real life as a mysterious fog rolls into town. The next day, a big chunk of the middle of the film, is kind of...

91. The Devil Below - S (Netflix) - A group of scientists led by a female guide searching for a mysterious mining town that has disappeared inadvertently unleash some nasty creatures into the woods. What starts out as an intelligent horror movie soon becomes mundane with the stupidity of the...

Speaking of Tobe Hooper, I just got home and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 4k was waiting in my mailbox. :D

Have you seen Eaten Alive? I think it was Hooper's first film after Chainsaw. Robert Englund plays Buck and utters a famous line that inspired the same line in Kill Bill. Other than that, it is unwatchably bad.

89. Arachnophobia - S (Roku Channel) - A fun spider invasion movie made before CGI was all the rage. This film is mostly a comedy, John Goodman is hilarious as the town exterminator. But the use of hundreds of real spiders, as well as a great performance by Jeff Daniels, whose fear seems...

88. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - S (D+) - I had never been interested in seeing this as it looked like a Harry Potter rip-off, but for whatever reason today I decided to give it a shot. The first act sucked me in with Terence Stamp as a mysterious grandfather whose grandson...

84. Pitch Black - 4k Disc - Stranded on a barren planet during an eclipse, a group of strangers faces a swarm of killer alien bugs as well as an intergalactic serial killer amongst their ranks. This is a stylish action/suspense film with nice visual flair. I have to knock it a bit though...

I'm curious to hear what others think. I enjoy watching all these films and shows, but I'm watching more than I usually do I think so I can forget the stress and anxiety in my life right now. I might have been a little harsh. There were some good ideas and cool make-up and effects work. It...

81. An American Werewolf in London - 4k Disc - This film is still effective today. The TV commercials scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, and I was scared again watching this in a dark room on HBO a couple of years later, thanks in part to the initial unsettling tone established so...

78. Village of the Damned - Blu-ray - Not one of John Carpenter's best, but it has grown on me. The negatives: A bad acoustic guitar score in the beginning that doesn't match what is onscreen, an eye doctor who puts harsh chemicals in her eyes and acts like she is being violently murdered, a...

75. Bram Stoker's Dracula - 4k disc - This is a rich, lush telling of the tale with stunning, imaginative visuals, and saturated colors that really shine in 4k. I know Keanu's performance is criticized a lot, but he doesn't have many lines. He just has to be stoic and brave, and I think he...

73. Dracula - S 4k (Vudu) -. Probably my least favorite of the original Universal horrors. Bela is perfect in the role and maintains an ominous presence throughout, and he certainly set the blueprint for everyone else who has ever played the character. But he is not given much to do other...

Also, as far as Jack being a jerk, I always took it as he is kind of a jerk but was really looking forward to the long winter to unwind and get his thoughts out of his head and onto paper. But instead the opposite happened and his inner jerk took over.

I watched the Shining when the 4k came out, and before I had only ever seen it on cable. Never with a decent sound system. What struck me most was the score. Every scene has a disconcerting subtle clanging, banging, or otherwise eerie sound in the background. Constantly through the entire...

71. The Fly - S (Vudu) - Easily Jeff Goldblum's best performance, before he became kind of a caricature of himself. He begins the film charming, and his romance with Geena Davis has real chemistry. Then after he changes, there are a couple of scenes where he spouts scientific gobbledy took as...

68. The Wolfman - S 4k (Vudu) - A classic that I re-discovered in last year's challenge and enjoyed it just as much this go round. Lon Chaney Jr was really good in this, but having finally watched of mice and men this year, I hear a little too much Lennie in his voice and so it's a bit harder...

66. Black Friday - S (Prime) - This film had much more ambition than budget unfortunately, because it has a good setup. A small piece of meteorite crashes through the roof of a toy store on Thanksgiving, infecting one of the staff, and it soon spreads to shoppers once the store opens. In the...

Well I finally got paperwork submitted from the Dr but he messed up my restrictions so now I'm forced to go out on disability until my surgery on the 31st. It's frustrating on a lot of levels, but on the plus side I'll now have time to finish this challenge strong...

61. Extinction - S (Netflix) - A man is losing control of his life and family because of nightmares and visions of a coming alien invasion. Eventually it does happen. He must then lead his wife and children 10 blocks away to his office, which he believes to be fortified to withstand the...

I almost forgot yesterday I also watched... 60. Vacancy - S (Vudu) - A couple whose car breaks down near an old hotel becomes their only guests for the night. They decide to watch the VHS tapes on top of the TV and discover that they are snuff films, taped in their room. They then have to...

58. Trespass - Blu-ray - I was perusing my collection and this caught my eye. I remember this being tense and suspenseful, so I figured it would count. William Sadler and the great Bill Paxton play two Arkansas firefighters who come across a treasure map that leads them to East St. Louis...

Just curious, why not the 4k disc?

55, 56, 57. Ash vs Evil Dead S3 episodes 4,5,6 - S (Netflix) - Thankfully this show finally found it's groove this season. Ghost dad was awesome. The toddler fight was awesome. The stache leg was awesome. And plot wise the show finally looks to be heading to an epic season finale...

51. Friday the 13th - Blu-ray - The original still holds up. I watched it with the commentary this time, which was really just interview segments with the director, writer, a couple of actresses, and the composer. The most interesting thing said was that only 6 counselors were killed, and...
