September Movies - Week 3

Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,

Yet another busy week... they seem to keep on coming... but we got a few movies in...

September 13 – The Mummy (1999)
 
The remake of the Universal Monster flick… and showing off perhaps the sexiest cast in cinema history with prime Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, Omed Fehr & more… but yeah, inexplicable curse to give a disgraced priest unimaginable power just so that he could suffer for all eternity in a sarcophagus… but then somebody opens it & hijinx ensue. If you haven’t seen this movie, you’re under 20 is showing… but yeah… it’s great!
 
Rating – 10+/10 – One of the better examples of 90’s action comedies that’re just awesome & fun to watch…
 
September 15 – The Immortal (2001)
 
So… we’re almost finished with 5 seasons of “Renegade” (more on that later) but we noticed on Tubi that there’s a 2001 series that lasted one season where “Renegade” star Lorenzo Lamas is an immortal who goes around killing demons with a sword for all eternity… yup, it’s basically Highlander… but even more convoluted somehow, cheaper, poorly written & Lorenzo is no Adrian Paul. We made it through all 22 episodes of the Adrian Paul follow-up “Tracker” but we REALLY had to force ourself to finish one episode of this one…
 
Rating – 2/10 – Potentially the lowest thing I’ve scored on this thing… it was just horrible… and it was the PILOT!!!
 
September 17 – Night of the Demon (1980)
 
A school field trip on the search for sasquatch leads deep into the woods to interview witnesses & local legends… but hijinx ensue when the local murders and disappearances start to be recounted by the professor… and yeah, this is the basic sasquatch movie format as a slasher… but the kills are actually pretty fun & legit… and the movie is really good… and then in the 3rd act, things take a dark turn… but does it affect the movie?!?
 
Rating - ???/10 – Find out during Squatchtember on Everything I Learned From Movies
 
September 19 – The Best of Times (1986)
 
Kurt Russell & Robin Williams are two guys who played high school football 15 years ago in the dusty ass town of Taft outside Bakersfield… and Robin Williams is having some issues with people walking all over him… so he has the idea to get the old team back together to finally beat their rival Bakersfield for the first time in town history… and hijinx ensue. Look, that’s a bad summation… but the movie is actually pretty funny. Is the premise a little… juvenile? Absolutely! However, keep in mind… Robin Williams is your lead… and Kurt Russell is in his BTILC days…
 
Rating – 9/10 – Lots of fun… and we got to ask Drew of Reel Feels about Taft and… apparently this movie is pretty accurate

Join us at Harvest Moon Festival on Ogden's Historic 25th Street this Saturday!!!
