Haven't seen the other two, but FROZEN was very good; suspenseful as hell!

WYVERN (2009). Pretty good little film involving a small Alaskan town at the end of a 24 hour sun being terrorized by a dragon like creature, released by melting ice caps. The only person in here I knew was Barry Corbin, but good performances and worth seeing. ***

Well, if you are interested: both are on Tubi. The Pool also on Shudder and 200 degrees also on Roku.

And Wyvern is on the watchlist.

EAT LOCALS (2017). Very odd yet compelling Vampire film, directed by Jason Flemying (actor who played Nutley in FROM HELL and was also in SNATCH). about a group of the undead, composing all parts of Society coming together to discuss quotas and future plans. During this meeting in a farmhouse, a group of soldiers gathers round all but ready to strike, but are delayed for "Business Reasons", which is kind of funny, and at least a little different.
I found I enjoyed this more than I thought I would...it's similar in tone to WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS and definitely different from your average bloodsucker flick; some good true and a sense of humor that actually is beneficial to the film. ***1/2

blood and chocolate (2007) this one seems to get mixed reviews, not the worst movie ever, but not the greatest, I do enjoy werewolves whenever they pop up in movies, and this was on my watch list, so I went for it.

THE ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS (1968, released 1996). After legal troubles and musical slippage, the Stones recorded BEGGAR'S BANQUET, a return to their dirty blues vibe. The "Circus" was filmed as if under a big top with several friends appearing also, with The Stones naturally playing last. After viewing the footage, Mick Jagger shelved this indefinitely as He felt the Stones set was uneven and they had been upstaged by The Who. While The Stones aren't bad (especially on opener "Jumping' Jack Flash"), they weren't properly rested and original guitarist Brian Jones was barely functioning, so they don't come off very well especially on an embarrassing "Sympathy For The evil".

On the other hand, The Who are magnificent here; "A Quick One While He's Away" is performed with incredible ferocity. Also some decent performances by Taj Mahal and The Dirty Mac, a one off with John Lennon, Keith Richards (Bass and quite good), Eric Clapton and Mitch Mitchell. Sadly, Yoko Ono does her primal wailing on a couple of numbers and is a matter of personal. Also, a very early performance by Jethro Tull with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi on guitar!

So, musically, not all home runs, but a good time capsule to see many rock stars younger or who have passed on since, like Keith Moon/John Entwistle (The Who), Brian Jones, Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Charlie Watts (The Stones) and John Lennon. ***

THE POOL (2018)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Not bad story of a young guy not sure of his position in life who after working on a film shot in a huge pool, is laying on a float relaxing when a colleague tells him the pool is being drained and to get out. Our boy dozes off and then finds himself unable to get out (pool is 6 meters deep), although oddly, every pool I've seen has ladders to exit-this one doesn't. From here on out, it's Murphy's law,to the nth degree, especially when a huge crocodile and his pregnant girlfriend manage to get in the pool with him.

While there are some good suspenseful scenes here, plausibility is stretched tight, considering how long everyone is down there and I absolutely HATE the way he is able to finally escape, especially the lingering on it. A not totally believable happy ending, but after all his travails, He's entitled to that. A good watch, but not as good as it could have been. ***

This got really bad reviews on IMDB with many comparisons to SAW (which I've not seen yet), but I founds this a quite intense ride. A very smarmy wheeler-dealer wakes up imprisoned in a large metal kiln with a voice from the outside demanding He raise a million dollars in two hours or face a horrible death by heat (hence the title). Somehow, with a LOT of twists and turns, our protagonist is able to do it, but then finds out that it's not quite enough and there are more obstacles to face....

2D really was a good watch and I would recommend this, but You may yourself how a certain object manages to keep its power and You will shake your head at an incredibly DUMB suggestion towards the end. ****
