Saw Transformers Rise of the Beasts some hours ago

It's an ok movie it got 6 out of 10 points on imdb.

There's good SciFi and then there's cheap SciFi..

..and then there's the ultra rare, good, cheap SciFi.

Let me keep looking for the entire flick (Dark Star), it's SO worth it.

OK, this is the best I can do.

YouTube lists this as "free with ads" yet there are no ads indicated.

So, what the heck is Dark Star? Imagine that the Alien franchise is Tiger Woods. Dark Star would be his slightly older brother who runs a sporting goods store in a Philadelphia mall.

Seriously, there are some direct links to Alien in this movie. Just no Sigourney Weaver or Yaphet Kotto, or Harry Dean Stanton. Or much of a budget, to be fair.

Check out the credits, just be aware that those names you recognize weren't quite as famous as they would later be.

Dark Star should have been a "boat flick" but it was much too obscure for its own good. Subversive where it mattered, down-right comedy where it was needed (O'Bannon stated that the scenes between Sgt. Pinback and the pet alien were directly based off the old Roadrunner cartoons where his character filled in for the coyote).

Just a bit of fun.

More fun.

OK, this is tough even as a drinking movie.

One of, if not the dumbest movie EVER made. Even Vincent and Tangella give up on it.

1985's DEFCON-4. And yeah, they even got the title wrong.

Chef
When Chef Carl Casper suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner, he is left to figure out what's next. Finding himself in Miami, he teams up with his ex-wife, his friend and his son to launch a food truck. Taking to the road, Chef Carl goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen -- and zest for life and love.

Finally, something worth watching for once, breezy, lighthearted and relatable, this is what Hollywood has been missing, no, not food but creativity, the cast is great and it has a decent written script to go with it as well. What more could you ask for?, well, Scarlett Johansson bent over the serving hatch would have been good as well but, I'm not going to knock it for not adding that in.

Film Rating 7.7\10.

A genuine feel good ( no pun intended ) movie. Very original and a lot of fun.

I've posted a trailer earlier some weeks ago.

"Casa Amor - Exclusive for Ladies".
