Here's an overview of the movies we watches in November! What did you watch? Do you have any nice tips for us? 

The Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf is a horror movie from 1985. It's a sequel to the movie the Howling. I decided to watch the movie because Sybil Danning (In this movie: Stirba) was attending Weekend of Hell. I met her there and got an autograph. I will write about that seperately. In the Howling II, the sister of a man gets killed by a werewolf. He decides to help an investigator track them down and help him battle the werewolf queen (Stirba). The movie has a duration of 81 minutes. 

At Weekend of Hell, we met Sybil Danning (Stirba). Did you already check out our article about meeting her? 

Night of the Creeps was another we watched in preparation of Weekend of Hell. At the convention, we met Tom Atkins and Jason Lively! In the movie, alien brain parasites turn people into zombies. A couple of teenagers decide to fight them! 

Eat is a 2014 horror movie. I bought the dvd at Weekend of Hell at the stand of Zeno Pictures. The movie is about an actress, Novella McClure. She hasn't landed a role in the last 3 years. That's giving trouble. She can't pay her rent anymore and her landlady might evict her. She develops a disturbing disorder: She eats her own flesh. She tries to hide it by telling she had an accident. But that's hard. She's not in control and keeps eating more and more of her own flesh.. The duration of the movie is 92 minutes. I'm actually not familiar with any of the actors in the movie. Novella is played by Meggie Maddock. I like her acting in Eat. She's also known for the Ridiculous 6, Dear Eleanor, a Remarkable life and the TV series Flock.  Sig also wrote a review about this movie. 

Alice Sweet Alice is a horror/ mystery/ thriller movie from 1976. It's directed by Alfred Sole. In this movie, a girl gets killed during her first communion. The prime suspect is her sister.. Brooke Shields stars in this movie. It's actually one of her first roles! 

One night, Sig and I wanted to watch a movie. But we didn't know which one. So we looked through our dvds and found one named 'May'. May is a horror/drama/comedy movie with a duration of 93 minutes. We both didn't remember where we had bought this movie. My guess is that it's been in our collection for a quite while now. We decided to watch it! It's a bout a girl who has no friends and feels very lonely. She works as an assistant in an animal hospital. She becomes sort of friends with a colleague and she even falls in love with a guy. They go on a couple of dates, but it ends soon because of her strange behavior. When she was young, she got a really scary doll from her mom with the idea: If you can't find a friend, make one. She still has this doll.  At a certain moment, the doll breaks and this is devastating for May. She decides to repair the doll and find new (human) parts.. 

The tagline of the movie is: There are no good wholes, just parts. The movie stars Angela Bettis (as May), Jeremy Sisto (as Adam) and Anna Faris (as Polly). You all might know Anna already from Scary Movie. I have to admit immediately that this movie didn't make it back to our collection. It wasn't awful. But I didn't think it was a good movie either. I get what it tries to accomplish, but it's not completely right. I didn't like it too much. So we won't keep the dvd. I have to admit: I'm not really into the combination of horror and comedy. And Anna Faris just reminds me too much of her role in Scary Movie. 

Yeah, this is quite a name for a movie isn't it? I think it's quite hard to remember! Marthy Marcy May Marlene is a 102 minute long drama/ mystery/ thriller movie. It stars Elizabeth Olsen (She's the younger sister of the Olsen twins), Sarah Paulson and John Hawkes. 

Short plot: Martha runs away from an abusive cult. She has spent there 2 years, without contacting her family. Now, she runs to her sister and her husband. The movie shows how Martha is having a hard time to adapt. Her relationship with her sister isn't easy and she has changed a lot during the two years in the cult. 

Yes, we watched this classic! Both Sigmund and me hadn't seen this movie yet. And we both like Hitchcock movies. So this was an easy choice! Vertigo takes 2 hours and 8 minutes to watch and can be classified as a mystery/ romance/ thriller movie. 

Just by looking at it for a few minutes, I really saw that this is a Hitchcock movie! And I love that. 

In this movie, police detective John is being forced into early retirement because he suffers from acrophobia and vertigo. The, he gets hired as a private detective to keep an eye on an acquaintance's wife. But John gets obsessed by the woman.. 

Phantasm (1979) is a fantasy/ sci-fi/ horror movie of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It stars Michael Baldwin (Mike) and Reggie Bannister (Reggie). The director of the movie is Don Coscarelli. 

At a funeral, Mike witnesses the mortician (Tall Man) lifting a coffin on his own. Mike investigates it and finds out that the Tall Man shrinks dead bodies. The Tall Man reanimates them as slaves. 

The tagline of the movie is: If you're looking for horror that's got balls, it found you! 

The movie wasn't completely my taste. It was okay, but I won't watch the sequels. A nice quote from the movie: "You play a good game boy, but the game is finished. Now you die."

The McManus Brothers are back for the sequel to "The Boondock Saints". Ten years after the events of the first movie, the McManus Brothers are leading a quiet life on a sheep farm in Ireland with their father. When a priest in Boston is violently murdered, someone tries to frame them for this crime.Of course they can't let this happen and they travel back to Boston to clear their names. Like I already said before I love these movies and although this sequel is not as good as the first movie, it's still nice to see the McManus Brothers in action again. Just like in the first movie the supporting roles are very cool, I especially like Clifton Collins Jr. as Romeo (their new sidekick) and Julie Benz as Special Agent Eunice Bloom. There are a lot of rumors about a possible third installment of "The Boondock Saints" and I for one can't wait until they make it!

Duration: 117 minutes.

November was a cold and wet month in the Netherlands and the inevitable happened: I got sick. And what do you do when you are recovering: browse Netflix and pick a movie to watch. I stumbled upon "John Wick" and I  remembered my brother telling me he liked this movie, so I watched it. The movie is about John Wick (surprise!), a retired hit man played by Keanu Reeves. After the death of his wive he receives a last present from her: a puppy. When he goes for a ride in his Mustang the dog goes with him. At a gas station three Russian mobsters, led by  Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen). Iosef expresses his interest in the Mustang, but John tells him it's not for sale and drives away. Later that night the men show up at John's house, beat him up and steal his car. When John recovers from the beating up he notices they also killed his dog. This drives John to take up his weapons for one last time to get his revenge. 

Although it's a pretty standard story, the movie kept me interested until the end. Keanu Reeves is solid as Wick and Alfie Allen is even more annoying in his role as Iosef, than he is as Theon Greyjoy in "Game of Thrones". I guess he is very skilled in playing characters who are all but lovable.

Duration: 101 minutes

This 2015 documentary is the absolute must-see for this month! Filmmaker Matthew Heineman gives a very impressive insight into the ongoing drug problem in Mexico and along the US-Mexican border. I'm not gonna tell you more about it, because you just have to see it for yourselves. WATCH THIS!
