Creature from the Black Lagoon 1954
Watched on Svengoolie. I think Sven filmed this full show in 2011, but added some new ones for this release (3/22/2025). Watch Svengoolie! Even if MeTV keeps trying to get me to buy bootleg slap-chops. (Also, TIL it stands for "Memorable Entertainment Television"!)
Decent flick. Not gonna call it particularly stunning -- it's very fifties, bombshell babe and swarthy hero challenged by a horrific beast in some wild lands with some incredibly loud orchestral music -- but the Creature is pretty cool. I love the effects when it breaths on land and its gills flex.
Also, spotted a long nosed gar! Love that wet beast.

TNA Sacrifice 2025 2025
Great show, especially considering it's one of their live events and not a proper PPV.
Star for me was the Rascalz/Ace vs. Wes/Tyriek/Tyson; just a great match, and the lucha rules made it super fast-paced, even moreso than usual. Loved Ash and Heather and the Personal Concierge winning the belts off Spitfire -- I think they're funny, and also Spitfire's had the belt for too long anyway. Also nice to see an NXT KO's team teased.
X-Division match with Jeff…

Nosferatu 2024
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It's like Eggers totally ignored what made Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens work. There's no subtlety here, and it's so like ... gory and horny? But it doesn't earn it. If anything, the gory horny shit totally trashes the actual tension.
Main issue: them making Ellen, functionally, a "chosen by the vampire" final girl. Lily-Rose Depp is not good enough for what they've given her, period; and making Ellen a Chosen One rather than a very human woman deciding to…

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! 1978
Watched on Svengoolie, who is very funny. I also like his little Nostalgiaferatu fella.
Anyway, this movie scared the fuck out of me as a kid. But watching it as an adult? Actually a solid ... uh, satire? B-movie? It's clearly making fun of a number of things, chiefly the sort of b-movie you'd expect from a movie called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! Also, surprising amount of musical numbers (which I did not remember). I did not remember most of the plot, though, which is on me for taking decades to rewatch this. Had a ton of fun with it though.
Also, watch Svengoolie.
