Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)

A horror movie all about a big misunderstanding leading to absolute chaos.

And it's got Alan Tudyk in it. You just know you're gonna have a good time when he's involved.

    Baby driver I know it’s decently well known, but honestly not even close to enough.

    The old one you never heard of.

    "Report To The Commissioner" 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.

    "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it's got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.

    "Honey, please don't undermine me in front of the hostage."

    The Man From UNCLE (2015)

    Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer chewing up the scenes, nice fast paced plot, fun and engaging. A real shame it's a Guy Richie film, but since I don't pay him when I watch it I really don't mind 🏴‍☠️

    Mea culpa edit: I confused Guy Richie and Russell Brand. I'm dumb and Guy didn't deserve that. Sorry for the confusion and also go watch The Man From UNCLE. While your at it, go find Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, where (funny era) Steve Martin does a film noir mashup movie flawlessly

    If you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with Guy Ritchie?

    The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Ford

    That movie is a legitimate work of art in which every performance is understated and every frame could be hung on the wall of any gallery. But because it's quite long, and because nothing gets blown up, no one really paid any attention to it.

    I genuinely only know about three people IRL who have seen it, and I'm one of them.

    Pontypool, great concept and execution for a low budget horror, Canadian zombies with a twist

    The Man from Earth low budget sci-fi about a guy who's been alive for thousands of years, mostly just character development and story telling through actually story telling.

    Deep Blue Sea 3, 1 was great b movie shark horror, 2 was garbage, but 3 knew it was on the back foot and just goes all in, not a great movie but after 2 definitely underrated.

    Cowboys and Aliens is far more entertaining than it has any right to be.

    Street Fighter has survived to become a cult classic.

    Sneakers message still resonates strongly today

    Better Off Dead outside the band of most 80s teenager comedy movies

    Paycheck I thought it was a fun sci-fi that most people missed

    The Great Escape not underrated back in the day, but not very well known now

    I love The Net, it's a decent thriller even if janky by todays standards. I saw it as a kid some years after release, and the tech side of it was absurd even then. But the core plot is basically Hitchcock like, and Sandra Bullock is good in it. If you can let the silly tech side of things go (it was made when the Internet was a new concept even to users, so it does get things wrong), it's actually a decent enough plot.

    Not sure if it's underrated or just not well known, but "The unbearable weight of massive talent" was so insanely good!

    Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story

    Great biopic parody that just keeps on giving. For me, Tim Meadows will always remain Sam, saying "not once." It helps that his other roles are also goofy, like the ARGUS dude in Peacemaker.

    Repo! The Genetic Opera

    The music is incredible. The Gothic setting is great. The father/daughter storyline is complex. I wish it was more popular.

    uwe boll's postal.

    don't get me wrong, it's one of the worst, most disgusting films ever made. it's like if john waters was a conservative. but there's a certain... something to it. there are little details that didn't need to be there that shows some enthusiasm and care for its making.

    like there's this one scene where the protagonist goes over to his uncle's sex cult compound and finds him asleep in just an open bathrobe with like seven naked chicks, right? and the dude wakes him up and he has to push them off of him. and as he crawls out from under the blonde sleeping on his crotch, they've added a little *plop* sound effect as her head moves away from his dick. like, that's funny! and totally unnecessary.

    Thankskilling (2008). Low budget horror movie about a talking turkey (a puppet) who murders college students. It's one of the most ridiculous and hilarious movies I've seen.

    Matrix Reloaded. People generally dislike it. I find it deepens the Matrix universe in many ways

    The matrix sequels definitely muddle the pacing and characters, and they struggle to fill the void left by the central mystery of the first film, but the philosophising and action are both as good or better than the first film.

    Speed racer has already been critically reevaluated so I guess my wachowski hot take is that Jupiter Ascending is due. It's idiotic but it's a sweaty blast of pure cinema.

    The metaphysics in the whole series is honestly mind blowing. I even found the 4th movie to be oddly disturbing because it made it click in my mind that choosing a different reality than you were born into is akin to suicide. That blue pill kills your old self. It didn't quite click for me in the first movie because I feel they were doing a lot of world building and it was easy to miss it in the fast pace.

    The 4th movie they kinda lingered on that concept and it just screamed "this is talking about suicide" to me. And then I got kinda anxious. Because the blue pill seemed like the obvious choice until then. I know Cypher kinda makes a point about preferring the matrix, but it felt more like preference than suicide.

    But he did say "if you told us the truth we'd have told you to shove that blue pill up your ass!"

    Terminator Salvation

    While I've always liked the first two Terminator movies due to their Tech Noir aesthetics, I find that this one adds some important background to the world building in general. The story is for the most part interesting, and Christian Bale plays the role well.

    Terminator III and any movies after Salvation can fuck right off, tho.

    Mom And Dad Save The World (1992)

    Stars Terri Garr and Jeffrey Jones as the Nelsons, an ordinary set of suburban boomer parents who routinely go on vacations/car trips. On such a trip, they are abducted station wagon and all by Emporer Todd (played by Jon Lovitz) of planet Spengo, a desert planet inhabited by a species of dog headed if male, fish headed if female creatures, and humanoid idiots. Ridiculousness ensues.

    It bombed at the box office and is poorly reviewed but I had fun with it.

    Mother!

    I found it really enjoyable trying to trace all of the symbolism and allegory. For whatever reason, audiences didn't like it so much.

    "Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer"

    Despite the anime ass long title it's a Steve Buscemi starring film nobody watched. I thought it was fucking hilarious. You will too if you like dark comedy.

    https://youtu.be/kJB2nac129A

    Tremors II: Aftershocks is a perfect comedic action horror film and a perfect sequel.

    https://youtu.be/jas8OABbn0Y

    Mad God is extremely disturbing and dark, probably impossible to watch for most people. I think it's a stop motion master piece.

    Exit to Eden. Terrible rotten tomatoes score, but it's awesome and loved by the bdsm community. It's a 1990s film adaptation of the Anne Rice novella of the same name, which is more or less just classic her style erotica, this one of a man going to a femdom island retreat and falling in love with and impressing the head lady there. Cliche whatever, but pretty good representation of kink despite the outlandish setting. But some executives or someone involved in the movie had a brilliant idea: buddy cop b plot with Rosie O'Donnell. This takes it from a bold and interesting decision that would probably be well regarded by a small group of people, to a movie that's just kinda fucking nuts in a fun way. The b plot keeps the movie silly and light.

    So yeah, if this sounds up your alley I highly recommend it.
