Monster of the Day #1599

Updated on July 10, 2017 By Ken Begg 11 Comments

One of the many joys of Futurama was the pretty good chance that you might see a neat monster at any moment. Several people are streaming the last couple of seasons on YouTube right now, so it’s a good change to catch up.

Anybody catch Spider-Man, or Baby Driver?

    I’ve heard both films are pretty good, but it’s coming on five years since I’ve been in a theatre.

    I caught Spiderman. I thought it was pretty good. Nice sense of humor.

    Found a bunch of cool Korean and Chinese horror and action movies on Netflix and that’s about all I’ve been watching recently- sorry.

    With cable, Netflix, and Tivo, I feel I already pay too much for entertainment and I feel like a sucker to spend so much on a ticket.

    After I realized that I had middle range hearing loss I wondered if that was partly the reason I did not enjoy going to the movies as much. I now rely on subtitle at home more and more. I do have hearing aids, but not always right in theater situation.

    Luckily some theater have “glasses” like device with subtitle built in. Looking forward to trying them next time I can drag myself to the theater.

    Please share a list!

    I already know about Train to Busan, which I just watched this weekend. It is EXCELLENT, by the way, and I highly recommend it. Best zombie movie in quite some time; I’d put it slightly above 28 Days Later, which was damn good.

  • I can recommend “A Chinese Ghost Story” (1987) and “Peking Opera Blues” (1986). Not primarily horror or action, but good fun nonetheless.

    Well, so far…

    ‘The Silenced’- Korean/horror- crazy stuff happening at a girl’s school in 1930’s Japanese occupied Korea.

    ‘The Phantom of the Theater’ Chinese/horror- neat riff off ‘The Phantom of the Opera.’ Set in beautiful art deco 1930’s China.

    ‘The Wailing’- good movie but at 2.5 hours it’s too long. Some editing would have helped.

    ‘The Pirates’- Korean/historical action- Well, it’s a Korean version of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. Really bad odious comic relief but otherwise absolutely bat-guano crazy fun.

    ‘Memories of the Sword’- Korean/ historical action- Actually more a drama of a family that’s even more screwed-up than the Skywalkers. Great movie.

    ‘The Great Hypnotist’- Chinese/thriller- more a drama here, really good acting and a cool plot.

    ‘The Monkey King’- Chinese/action- absolute bat-guano crazy kid’s film here. Some awesome demons and monsters, mostly all CGI though. Would love to see Ken use some like the Fox Girl and Buffalo Demon as MotD.

    I’ve been wanting to see ACGS for ages, but the DVD never seems to be at a reasonable price. I’ll look into the latter, thanks.

  • The Rev.

    I actually caught part of one of the Monkey King movies, or at least A Monkey King movie; I think the second of the series? I want to say a ManDemonPig was involved. Kind of cool.

    I think I’ll be starting with The Silenced and The Wailing; Korea’s been making some good horror lately. Thank you!

    There are at least two Monkey King movies, Netflix has the second one, I haven’t gotten around to watching it yet.
    I just did a net search for it was either Korean horror movies or Asian horror movies, I forget which and got a couple of great websites with a bunch of reviews and a note indicating if Netflix or Amazon has it. Most of the sites were a little out of date and Netflix didn’t still carry some of them but most were still there.
