I am at the hour mark and up until about 50 minutes I thought this could be a good film in its own yet generic kind of way.
Around 53:20 minutes I burst out laughing and the following ten minutes have done little to make me think this is a hidden gem.
Yes even if we could suspend the disbelief of the daughter who described her mothers killer a "nun in a hoody".
It got generic very fast from 50 minutes to the hour mark and let us see if it improves....
I switched it off at the 1 hour 6 minute mark.
It just lost appeal to me.
So if you managed to watch the movie all the way through then and disagree with my abrupt being bored of it after laughing at it when the Nun came round again and then got stamped back into the bath You may disagree and post if this film actually regained any 'cool' factor.
good post.
:)
Can't say I watch a lot of freebie movies, but every once in awhile I'll check out a bad horror because I love horror movies that much.
Rock and Rule
I watched this a few times and will again tonight.
Set in a post WW3 where humans don't exist and animals have evolved into humanoids.
There is a great Rock Star called Mok.
He is up to no good.
'his name is Mok and he likes to rock' - its actually pretty catchy.
On the other end of fame is a band that is trying to make it at an audition.
The paths collide.
There are different versions and the link I'll provide has the US HD version and the Canadian VHS version which is a few minutes longer and going by the reviews is the preferred version.
If you do choose to watch this be aware this is not a polished piece of animation but it is a damn fine piece of work.
The musical artists :
Cheap Trick,
Debbie Harry,
Lou Reed,
Iggy Pop,
Earth, Wind & Fire.
You were expecting 'under the sea' by Sebastian of Little Mermaid? A good song but its not
Rock and Rule!

I have not watched any of the conjuring series I'll be looking them up.
Next movie after Rock and Rule I'll have a look at my horror list.
So watching this in a critical fashion not the usual way i watch this.
I am at the 40 minutes mark of the Canadian version.
If I was 17 and kicking it back with some beers watching late at night I would think its pretty cool the weird and zany bits of it.
Watching it now I am more thinking those 40 minutes could have some more music set pieces within them.
I really like Debbie Harry aka Blondie, because Blondie the artist always came across with bit of an attitude that I like and in this as the female singer and object of Mok's wants of ultimate power there is a softness I do not see in her outside of this cartoon.
and back to watching.
Continuation from the 40 minute to 60 minute mark.
The storyline is now taking priority over the zany (but i would have liked to see that impression of John Wayne as an officer more).
There is the music number of 'My name is Mok, thanks a lot' 'his name is Mok and he likes to rock!' which as catchy as it is makes me want more!
Need some more power to it this is a person who wants to bring evil into the world and himself to control all of its power! .
and finished the Canadian Version VHS.
I liked it still.
Nowadays and probably back when it was made too, there is a feeling of wasted opportunity.
Could be far more music put into it considering the talent on offer within it.
The animation I would redo maybe bit more 'Heavy Metal style' if you have seen the fist or second cartoons of it.
Possibly like the original 1991 cartoon style of Aeon Flux for clarity (obviously keeping Blondie's attire in the original Rock and Rule not those of Aeon Flux).
This is a remastered version of Angel's Song by a fan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URubGYolW5w
In this version you can really hear that guitar piece.
My name is Mok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJa0Zv5gHSU
Time to brush up on my scales and get remaking this song in my own image :p
So after all that what is this animation about?
I see it as a typical couple with talent, and going through the same as any other couple go through.
They get through it using their feelings towards each other and their shared strength of music.
and yeah I felt bad for the security and his use of Uncle Mikey to explain the world to him and what happens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcWJrzK0wU
I remember this!
Thanks, this I recall is a very good film and watching it either tonight or tomorrow.
this following one maybe a little dated for some.
I find the horror of it that Vincent Price is not playing a villain or bit eccentric or however we can define him in his many films.
Here Vincent Price is let loose in a dangerous time of English history.
You could be anyone and the Witchfinders are near all powerful given strength by people's superstition and inability to think.
Witchfinder General
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvGH-pKMBrQ - if I could post the right link that would be helpful.
With a film like Witchfinder General, you may not be scared.
It's set in the countryside of merry olde Englande and its got a grumpy Vincent Price walking about it.
but take yourself out of the city.
Put yourself in a more rural setting.
The main road is about 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive if your car is still working.
Your neighbour has a farm and to get to their house you got to go through the muddy track, open the creaky gate in the dark.
Sometimes that bar on the gate will just be a little too stiff to move easily.
Then you carry on that muddy track past the fields with trees and bushes that any'thing' could be watching you from.
The moon is giving some light and the clouds illuminate around it.
It would take ten minutes walk to get to your neighbours house and who knows what is waiting for you.
A few foxes watching from the trees for you to go by?
That pony a little way from the fence watching as you trudge through the muddy track?
Maybe a shadow of something, waiting to manifest itself from your fear?
But that's ok, you are safe in your home now.
The dark is outside the window, whatever is out there is still out there.
Your torch, has a little juice left for 'emergencies'.
Your light bulb just blew earlier this evening and that's ok you got those little lights that give a pleasant soft glow.
they are nice, when you want to relax.
We know the Witchfinder General was real and that was centuries ago.
Watching the film about a character like him is good light nightly entertainment.
Those soft lights casting strange patterns on the wall.
The question that springs to mind as the garden gate bashes in the growing wind outside,
does evil ever truly die?
City of the Dead
An unholy prayer at the demise of a witch sets the stage for this film
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF7IB3n3UbU
Worth watching or not?
you'll be happier with another film especially after reading a somewhat spoiler of a review.
But if you like your 1950s/ 1960 type film setup this is reasonable for the era.
Christopher Lee was not the best actor in this film not that he was a bad player within it I felt the Witch herself was very good. Pity they didn't focus on her more.
The spoiler review
Plot
The film starts with a person being dragged to a bonfire.
Her accomplice makes an unholy prayer.
fast forward some centuries and we are in 1950/60 USA and not far away from the village in the opening scene.
Chirstopher Lee is talking about Witchcraft to a study group and encourages one of them to go to visit this mysterious village.
The film is not hurried there is suspense in the short journey and what is the village like now.
It does keep my attention.
BUT
There comes a part where things have happened and thats quite mysterious and sinister then after that bit the film suffers horribly by trying to link bits up to progress the story of the people coming into the village after looking for their friend.
I lost interest!
It is not that their acting was bad, it was typical of the era and they were believable.
It just got boring it was 'now lets do this bit and now lets do this bit to link that bit' and it bored me for ten minutes.
It would have been much more rewarding for the viewer if they showed what other incantations /rituals were going on in the village.
A brief bit of 'how do we get the people from the town to the village scene and then a little bit of spookiness prompting it along'
And at same time if they showed the shenanigans of the worshippers a morbid Halloween type parade or shadows on throughout the village of ghosts or super-naturalness.
They could have made that 10 to 15 minutes quite scary. With that chanting music you hear it would have been classic with minimal costs to production.
It picks up again so don't despair at all, the ending scenes are good and could have been better 'but they execute well "enough" ' .
For me a horrible part is all suspense is taken in the very last shot, they show her screaming before you see 'the big finale' which was not much of a finale just something that could have been made to look a lot more scarier than it was and then her screaming as you the viewer look at it in sync with the actor.
But no.
A waste of the Witch and her partner's performance,a waste of Christopher Lee's efforts of quiet darkness of his character too.
So frustrating!
Because the chanting music is really atmospheric they came so close to making something that could have spanned the decades (in my opinion).
It is not that is a bad film but it is of the feeling bit generic.
You know if they got Lee Marvin in there with his hard down to Earth ways as the student's uncle or father going along it would really have brought it out those last scenes.
Lee Marvin and Christopher Lee on opposing sides in the horror what that would have brought to the cinema!
To watch or not to watch?
for an afternoon, as a horror it missed a few opportunities to really make it pop out.
If you like Black and white movies and want to see the performances of Christopher Lee which are very subdued, but the real performance are the witches.
She did really well from beginning to end
waterloo (1970)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcWJrzK0wU
Today's film I will be watching is Waterloo suggested by Nargo.
It's early in the day for a film but if memory serves me correctly it is a real belter of a good film.
Following on from this I will be adding a bit of Sharpe because I have a mini program to write that is to do with the Napaleonic era and watching these will help push it along ~ at least that is what I tell myself when skiving.
Hope you enjoy it if you watch it :)
Great film.
They used the Soviet army and that really brought the scale of it to the motion picture.
15000 soldiers playing the parts of soldiers.
If you want to watch a film about Waterloo, they don't need to remake it that 1970s one is a genuine masterpiece.
This is about Waterloo from a youtuber and its accuracy and the build up to it historically ie as usual Britain said we don't care what you say we don't recognize you as a ruler or master of Europe and Russia and other countries thought yeah as usual Britain leads the way.
Prompting the Napoleanic invasion of Russia and his eventual sending off to exile only to return and so begins the film Waterloo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWKk5Sy0JT8 - youtuber review of Waterloo and accuracy etc.
Massive thank you to Nargo for bringing that film to the table.
the two main actors Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer.
Rod Steiger played Juan Miranda in Fistful of Dynamite aka Duck you sucker / Once Upon a Time ... the Revolution.
Christopher Plummer played the infamous General Chang from Star Trek and a greybeard in skyrim but who cares about that he played the General Chang!
Making a film about General Chang of the Klingon Empire vs Napoleon that would be epic!
Without waffling further tonight's movie suggestion
From thugs on horseback to thugs on the streets of merry olde englande.
there have been differeing versions of this film cutting some parts out of it.
If you want to know what the 1980s were like this film may provide some answers.
the quaint quirky plucky Brit, this film is not about.
Its about what in the 20th century would describe as a yob it is not a profound movie, he isn't a revolutionary it is just a yob and quite entertaining Tim Roth stars.
Made in Britain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2vuZXiW68Q
Tim Roth, think the diner scene in Pulp Fiction and one of the guys in Reservoir Dogs.
Don't blame me if after watching Made in Britain you feel like you should wash your hands regularly, the 1980s were grimy.
So watched it again after many years.
Sorry for putting it up here.
It is now boring.
The controversial film Scum I expect has lasted the decades (both versions) but this Made in Britain is bit of a tv film nowadays, just some idiot making a few speeches who thinks he's wonderful and does a few 'naughty things'.
So my apologies for posting this film up for tonight.
