It's Here My Long List of What I watched in August.

Wow, its September already! I know so many people are ready for the fall and our happy place of Pumpkin spice, rustling leaves, and cooler weather. This was a summer for the history books that is for sure. That week in August with no power killed my vacation movie-watching plans hard but was still able to check out a few shorts on Disney+ along with a few documentaries. This was also the last few weeks of Full Moon Horror Streaming site so I had to capitalize on that early on so the horror movie genera received some much-needed love.  So here you go the full list of my August viewing for Your pleasure.

Watched on Monday, August 31, 2020. Netflix

This documentary captures the extraordinary twists and turns in the journeys of Rubik's Cube-solving champions Max Park and Feliks Zemdegs. You really find yourself rooting for Max who has autism and the friendship he has with Feliks. This is the heart and soul of the story as the Cube solving takes a backseat. Never the less this was a fun little story the runs a fas 45 minutes. All of us on the couch was amazed by the story.

Roger Rabbit once again is chosen for the dangerous task of babysitting Baby Herman and everything is going to be just fine. I remember working at the theatre when this was a big deal. This short played just before Honey I Shrink the Kids even getting a predominate spot on the poster shouting this one out. Nothing over the top crazy for me tho but then again I'm one of those rare birds that do not like Roger Rabbit.

Nerdy Walter Paisley (Dick Miller), a maladroit busboy at a beatnik café who doesn’t fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla (Barbara Morris), by making a bust of her. When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady’s cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces using the same artistic process.  You know I really wanted to like this one. I watched the Dick Miller documentary and that really pushed me in this direction. Miller is wonderful and Morris needed more acting jobs she was a "Cool Cat" sadly the story is a tad rough around the edges. If I did not watch this right after the documentary I may have enjoyed it more.

Watched on Thursday, August 20, 2020. Amazon Prime

A documentary about veteran character actor Dick Miller, whose career in and outside of Hollywood has spanned almost 200 films across six decades, featuring a diverse range of interviews with directors, co-stars, and contemporaries. If you have Amazon Prime this is a really great watch about a career that you never knew he had. Miller is the king of B movies along with some of the best blockbusters of his time. Add this to your queue now.

Watched on Tuesday, August, 18th. Amazon Prime

Lighthearted comedy chronicling the exploits of the employees at a record store. Came for Tim Thomerson but really enjoyed Ted Lange! Goofy 70s vibe with no real story involving the record store but still Worth the visit. With so much Cheese you will need to bring an extra bag of nachos. 

Watched on Tuesday, August 18, 2020. Amazon Prime

At the dawn of the space race, two radio-obsessed teens discover a strange frequency over the airwaves in what becomes the most important night of their lives and in the history of their small town. I love period pieces like this I love small town 50s period pieces the most sadly this one just did not do it for me. I'm like the only one too the average rating on letterboxd is 3 1/2 stars. Something just did not hit right for me. 

Watched On Friday, August 14th. Disney+

Though legendary lyricist Howard Ashman died far too young, his impact on Broadway, movies, and the culture at large was incalculable. Told entirely through rare archival footage and interviews with Ashman’s family, friends, associates, and longtime partner Bill Lauch, Howard is an intimate tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent and a rousing celebration of musical storytelling itself.

 Not quite the tear-jerker I was expecting. A fantastic story of Howard's life that all Disney fans should watch. 

Watched on Friday, August 14, 2020. Shudder

Oh, thank you so much, Joe Bob Briggs and your Last Drive-In on Shudder. Ten years after the events of the original movie, Victor Crowley is mistakenly resurrected and proceeds to kill once more and some more... this was a fun ride made special by all the cast members that came on the show to talk about the film.

Man Joe Bob killed it for his Summer special "slumber party" on Shudder. Slumber Pary Massacre 2 has been on my watch list for years! What a great way to watch it while tweeting along with other horror fanatics.  Courtney, the sister of a survivor from the 1st movie, and the members of her rock band go to a condo for the weekend to play music and have fun with their boyfriends. Courtney’s dreams are of her sister, who is in a mental institution, warning her of having sex, and the dreams begin to spill into real life, threatening Courtney and her friends as they begin experiencing an attrition problem.
