So, I can say with 100% accuracy that I am never going to finish this bastard of an idea!! I don't have the patience, or time, to actually sit down and watch all my movies. I don't know anyone who would have the time.
Even if I was jobless and this was all I had to do...I would find other things to do! So I am going to try to keep the spirit of the project alive, if not the actually format. I am still going to plow through a great deal of my movies..and maybe from time to time just review movies I've seen in the past!
With that said lets throw out a fun film I just watched last night....
Terminal Invasion -- (2002) Bruce Campbell
For what, I can only assume, is a made for Sci Fi (excuse me SyFy) movie...it was good. Not Godfather good, not Gone with the Wind good...more good in the sense that Roadhouse (R.I.P Swayze!) was a good movie! Bruce plays a convicted murder who is being delivered to prison when his transport runs off the road and he, and his police escort, seek shelter at a small airport during the middle of a blizzard. Seems that aliens are using the airport as a test run on future Earth takeover plans!! For the most part it is played straight by all involved. To his credit I think that Bruce plays the reluctant hero as good as anyone. Especially when he doesn't have to fill screen time by playing the fool at the same time. I love Army of Darkness, Evil Dead, and many others ...but I would like to see Bruce in a more straight laced approach (outside of Burn Notice). All things being what they are...Bruce can do no wrong in my book...if I ever have to sell my movies to get by in life I will have a few seasons of tv shows, a select few comedy flix and my entire Bruce Campbell collection.
Alien Apocalypse - (2005) Bruce Campbell, Renee O'Connor (of Xena fame!)
Just watched a trailer for District 9...shocked to see it looks like they stole the aliens from this Bruce Campbell flick! Premise is this...Planet of the Apes..but Earth (rear earth..not wonky time earth) sub in some giant Preying Mantis' and remove the Apes. Bruce is an astronaut who retuns to Earth to find that the planet has been enslaved by giant bugs that are using the population of the world as slaves to harvest wood....saying that...maybe they were termites? Wasn't paying that close attention! But, still...here we have Bruce in all his campy glory. There's a quest a la Lord of the Rings, a revolt a la one of the Planet of the Apes movies and epic battle a la Bravehart...well may be not. But, still a fun movie --> as I said Bruce can do no wrong!!
