Watching All Through The Night. Not an all time classic, but by far the best ranked (top 20-30 range) and most prestigious of the Bogart movies I hadn’t seen. Feels weird being all finished. I’ve read two books about him, seen documentaries, and rewatched his top movies several times. Now I know there will never be a really good Bogart movie left to see. I’ve also seen all his post-30s movies.

As for All Through The Night it’s ok, but lacks something the true classics have. Nazis in New York, made just before the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. Bogart is stellar though, in his prime.

There's still an episode of Tales from the Crypt left ;)

Watched Hellbound: Hellraiser II for the first time in a while yesterday and just threw on Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, nothing like an exploding head to get a film started. I can't say I have been any type of fan of the various reboots/remakes of original horror series but if I can separate the first film from what it became I think an update might work.

I really like Hellbound, and Hell on Earth might be dates, but is still compelling. Of course they are well behind the first one.

I need to pick this series again and see IV soon.

Ya'll know I don't rank things here but yeah, pretty much this; though I guess we both need to see Judgment.

Not ranking things, seem very un-RMerican.

it’s a bad movie, unintentionally ridiculous and boring at the same time. Authors should almost never make films based on their own work. The short story is actually decent.

wow. Cant disagree more. Even if you felt it the acting was dated, it would never ever be boring.

The acting is bad no matter when it was made.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
