one year on the vineyard i tried to start a new christmas tradition where we all - maria's mom and family were there and other family - watch Opera every year together on christmas eve. it didn't go over so well.
ha! I actually tried to do something similar with another 1987 classic - evil dead 2. watched it post-thanksgiving dinner with the fam one year. tried again next year and that didn't go over so well either.

anyway, watched prince of darkness last night and was really surprised by how much I dug it. it oozes atmosphere (v. literally at times w/the satan goo) and I LOVED the nerdy ensemble cast. well, except for the conventionally handsome mustache guy (the weak link imo).
donald pleasance is a lot of fun here too. really chews on ever line of dialogue he's given. and alice cooper!
plot is actually pretty compelling and the religion vs. science stuff is kinda fun if not particularly deep.
wouldn't pick it over evil dead 2 or anything but was pleasantly surprised given its iffy rep.

watched street trash a few months ago too. loved all the gooey explosions. really did not love the mega long rape sequence set to benny hill music for laffs.

I will defend The Lost Boys as the perfect slumber-party movie
I literally had to go to sleep in the middle of Lost Boys, but was alone

saw Blood Rage (not on this list, but from this year).
decent moments, zero payoff.
great gore though.
not a great sign when an 80 minute movie starts to feel 'long' tho

premise for what makes the killer 'snap' is....a stretch

watching Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2.
Impressed that Mary Lou was able to dance with her boyfriend, sit down at the table, ask her boyfriend to get a drink, signal to another boy that she wanted to fuck him in private quarters, slink away with him, actually start fucking him, get caught, have her new guy threaten her boyfriend, slink away again and get back to the dance all during a singular playing of "Tutti Frutti"
