Gonna watch it tonight with the missus
So you’re recommending this before having watched it?
Yes
As that went whistling over your head, maybe you tell us how it compares with the original. Eyes shut, no peeking, now.
I couldn't finish it cause she wanted to sing karaoke ... maybe tonight ... and not sure I recall seeing the original. If I did, it was so long ago, I'd need to see it again.

Frankenhooker 1990

A lighthearted black comedy romp detailing the efforts and misadventures of a stereotypical mad scientist type as he endeavors to rebuild the fiance his automatic power lawnmover sadly minced by using the body parts of several hookers

Nice snack sized flick at 85 mins, goofy with some mild gore

Solid 6/10

Watched The Enforcer last night ... man Clint Eastwood is great as Dirty Harold. Love that movie. And the vintage cars are great.

Watched the new Napoleon movie last night

5/10

Decent performance from Phoenix (as always) isn't enough to save a turgid historical movie

Insipid CGI, very humdrum trot through his military campaign, too much script devoted to the mythical midgets romantic foibles

All around hollywood-ism of a great tale

AND it's too fucking long
