  A Serbian Film 2010

  ★★★ Rewatched 08 Oct 2018

  Watched a second time, mostly to see someone’s reaction.  Less shocking the second time around, but still tough to watch.

  Mansfield 66/67 2017

  ★★ Watched 03 Oct 2018

  Mildly entertaining. The weird cut scenes with dance performances were strange and didn't offer much to help the doc progress.

  Hatchet 2006

  ★ Watched 15 May 2017

  I see all the reviews saying this is a great throwback 70's/80's horror flick. I can't agree. Bad writing, sloppy directing and piss poor acting doesn't make it cute, funny or remotely interesting. It just felt like a waste of time. The extra half of a star is for the practical effects from John Carl Buechler. The kills are great. Skip ahead to those and watch it as a five minute short.

  "This is the end, friend!"

  I've never gotten down with the Child's Play franchise. I know I saw this film, likely before 1990, but I've never seen any of the follow up films. That's about to change.
  Entertaining and amusing from beginning to end, if not totally ground breaking.
  Brad Dourif is brilliant as Chucky and the hairstyles remind me of my teenage years.
  Any movie that opens up with blowing up a toy store is OK by me.
