My wife is into it but I couldnā€™t seem to gel and I did try. Well truthfully I didnā€™t have an option but to try.

However I did enjoy 1883 and weā€™re going to binge watch 1923 when itā€™s good to go.
Does Sam Elliot ever age. I swear he looked the same in that as he did in Roadhouse.

For the final movie in my February of remakes, readaptations and reboots, I have chosen The Lion King.

Why, well it is the Disney movie that stands on the cusp of full CGI effects and is the last to have any dramatic chops. Obviously I will be watching a Blu-Ray which doesnā€™t cut the ā€˜sexā€™ out.

I am now pondering what Marchā€™s theme will be. I was pondering ā€˜Mad as a March Hareā€™ and picking movies based on March hare/hair and madness. Although, any suggestions are welcome.

1883 was incredible, it was the first show in years that i didnt have to swear at the whole time. The characters actually acted human, the sets were amazing as were the costumes and dialog. And i didnt have to turn it up and down every 5 seconds. I dont often get teary eyed and i almost never waste those emotions on entertainment but this one got me right in the feels, even more than when Rocky wins his first tittleā€¦

I havent watched either of the others yet but i certainly will.

On the eve of D-Day, American paratroopers drop behind enemy lines to penetrate the walls of a fortified church and destroy a radio transmitter. As the soldiers approach their target, they soon begin to realize that thereā€™s more going on in the Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. Making their way to an underground lab, the outnumbered men stumble upon a sinister experiment that forces them into a vicious battle against an army of the undead.

As I havenā€™t pinned down a theme for March as yet, I decide to use a random movie generator for tonight.

Oddly, The Witch (2015) was already on a list I made of horror including rabbits, so a nice coincidence to start the month with.

Well, I have finally decided on a theme for the month: As mad as a March hare. And, there is only one way to kick this off - with In The Mouth of Madness.

Many will class The Thing as their favourite in John Carpenterā€™s Apocalypse Trilogy, though Iā€™ve always favoured this instead. This is mainly due to it moving further into cosmic horror than just fear of the unknown.

As itā€™s a personal favourite, Iā€™ll include a few reflections on it:

I must admit that Colour out of Space, as a direct Lovecraft adaption and The Void, with itā€™s dark and visceral cosmic horror, may shift my ranking of In The Mouth of Madness with time.

For tonightā€™s dose of madness, I will be rewatching one of the most brilliantly demented movies ever made: Mad God.

This was Phil Tippetā€™s personal pet project, and one which he started after finishing the stop-motion for Robocop 2 in 1990. He also nearly abandoned this many times due to the ever increasing progress in CGI. Luckily for us, he stuck with it and decided to say to himself ā€˜fuck it! - Iā€™m going to do all this in stop-motionā€™.

This is an unsettling visual feast unlike anything most have seen. As Iā€™d prefer people to go into it near blind, Iā€™m only including one clip and no review or reflection video.
