  Tucker and Dale vs. Evil 2010

  ★★½ Watched 31 Oct 2024

  So charming. A really really fun premise. Every character was a great caricature but also a really engaging person.
  The gore was perfect; not too much, not too cheesy. A nice lighthearted, silly romp.
  My one note is more Ramones. Maybe play I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend when Dale first sees Ali? If that ain't too on the nose for ya.

  I give it 3.75 college kid corpses out of 5 cups of tea ☕️🐶

  Hellraiser 1987

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Oct 2024

  Another banger in the practical fx & make-up column.
  I thought this was a generic slasher style story, but what a pleasant surprise!
  The obvious Ramones tune here shoulda been Pinhead and it shoulda played when the demons show up at the end.

  I give it 8 clueless fathers our of 10 rubiks-style cubes 📍🦴

  The Lost Boys 1987

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Oct 2023

  I was way too excited when i realized that Bill S Preston Esq. and Richard Gilmore were in this.
  Keifer Sutherland was easily the least cool dude in the group so i dont know why he was the leader.
  This movie had potential for (at least an edgy goth rock cover of) a Ramones song, but no dice.
  The vamp makeup was stellar.

  I give it 1 vampire Bill out of 1 vampire Ted (in the sequel, i hope) 🧛

  Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 1931

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Oct 2023

  The transformation scenes were so good that i did a deep dive into how they were done after watching. People should wear capes again.
  Pre-Ramones, but did heavily feature Bach and what was he if not the Ramone of his day?
  Definitely worth a watch.

  I give it 3.5 concerned butlers out of a possible 5 indifferent father-in-laws 🎩
