NOTE to NON-MEMBERS: Interested in joining the SHERDOG MOVIE CLUB? Shoot me a PM for more info.
Here's a quick list of all movies watched by the SMC. Or if you prefer, here's a more detailed examination.
@iThrillhouse says Wassup? this week and has decided to steer us decidedly back toward the mainstream after @europe1's week.
What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
Directors: Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi
Stars: Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer
Premise: A documentary team films the lives of a group of vampires for a few months. The vampires share a house in Wellington, New Zealand. Turns out vampires have their own domestic problems too.
Why @iThrillhouse picked it: I heard it was funny.
Trailer:
Apocalypto (2006)
Director: Mel Gibson
Stars: Gerardo Taracena, Raoul Max Trujillo, Dalia Hernández
Premise: As the Mayan kingdom faces its decline, the rulers insist the key to prosperity is to build more temples and offer human sacrifices. Jaguar Paw, a young man captured for sacrifice, flees to avoid his fate.
Why @iThrillhouse picked it: Butt hurt that no one picked it last time, Mel G's best movie he's ever made.
Trailer:
12 Angry Men (1957)
Director: Sidney Lumet
Stars: Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam
Premise: A jury holdout attempts to prevent a miscarriage of justice by forcing his colleagues to reconsider the evidence.
Why @iThrillhouse picked it: We watched this in law class back in high school, but instead of appreciating Sidney Lumet's famous film, I slept....so probably a good time to give'r a watch.
Trailer:
The 13th Warrior (1999)
Directors: John McTiernan, Michael Crichton (uncredited)
Stars: Antonio Banderas, Diane Venora, Dennis Storhøi
Premise: A man, having fallen in love with the wrong woman, is sent by the sultan himself on a diplomatic mission to a distant land as an ambassador. Stopping at a Viking village port to restock on supplies, he finds himself unwittingly embroiled on a quest to banish a mysterious threat in a distant Viking land.
Why @iThrillhouse picked it: I remember liking this movie when I was 9.... but Its on so many lists of "the worst movie ever made!" and "so bad it made Omar Sharif retire from acting" ... but then I also see it on every single "guilty pleasure" lists that it makes me want to revisit it to see JUST WHATS SO BAD ABOUT IT!!!
