Started the day off in the wee hours after returning from Scott's home. Had
Black Christmas (1974) saved on my DVR from TCM Underground and wanted to spin it. It's a great moody horror flick starring Olivia Hussey, whom I like a lot, plus John Saxon. Glad to have finally watched this film and plan to watch every December. 6.5/10
After several hours of needed sleep, I awoke to hit a matinee of
TRON: Legacy 3D (2010), a film I had severely low expectations for considering the early word-of-mouth. But I gotta say, I truly enjoy this movie and how it was presented in 2D into the 3D grid. It just works for me. Yes, it's got a few problems but overall very enjoyable. Lots of eye candy not to mention Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett, who both look stunning. 6.7/10
For my afternoon viewing, I skipped the Portage Theater event and opted to just watch
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) at home rather than on the big screen. It's not a good film but charming in its own way. I think this would've really appealed to me as a child with all the low budget costuming and set pieces. 5/10
Finally on NWI, I queued up
The Order of the Black Eagle (1987) because I noticed @paulcorupe had recently viewed and it looked like my kind of flick. And it is! If you can imagine a low-rent James Bond with a baboon sidekick that can also pilot helicopters and tanks, than this one is for you too. Obviously meant to be ridiculous, it provided enough enjoyment for me. 6/10
