The year of 2016 in Personal Cinema So Far...

I am probably not on the same pace as i was last year when it comes to movies. Often at work i am getting tips of binge watching TV etc. Uhhh i think i would rather watch one of the many movies on deck. Everyday life gets hectic and i have no idea how some people who watch films (and not for a living) get so many in. But i have to say there is a sense of personal pride that i have a pretty good variety of films. From classics to bat shit crazy i have covered some ground already in 2016. I am listing my So Far list with maybe a few blurbs...




2016:
The Hateful Eight: Ehh, loved some aspects of it. Made me want to see a western romance between Michael Madsen and Zoe Bell.
Ahi viene el Chupacabras: Low grade Mexican comedy that had one of my new favorite silly scenes- Alien/ Chupacabra in a strip club watching lady jiggle to Spirit in the Sky.
Z for Zacharia: A thing of beauty, quiet and low key. 
Deathgasm: Silly popcorn fun with lots of squishy gore, a great Friday end of the week viewer.
The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher: Odd film that i do want to re watch with no sound as Ray Dennis Steckler suggested.
Sonny Boy*: Probably easily the 7th time i have seen this classic, now on Blu-Ray
A Most Dangerous Man: Beautifully shot, slow burn that made me really realize how good Phillip Seymour Hoffman was.
Bone Tomahawk: Believe the hype, characters that you care about and fall in love with. 
The Executioner Part 2: A hot mess and i imagine a lot of injuries were racked up on this one.
Ghost Gunfighter AKA Last Chance: Mid 90s film that has lots of potential, good ideas but a doughy awkward leading man. Fun meta film, not good but fun.
Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll: Spanish Giallo, really suspenseful and lots of red herrings. And i happened to pick it up for $5 and Ebay says now $35. Sorry bonus score!
Son of Frankenstein: Ygor's movie really, a revenge film. May be my favorite of Frank films. 
Alleluia: Like getting hit in the back with a fastball, it will stick with you. Love is a complicated and awful thing at time.
