Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 49: A Christmas Carol 🦌 People's opinions will always differ, and I respect the perfectly valid arguments for other versions and other Scrooges, but for my money, I think this is the best overall adaptation of A Christmas Carol, and I absolutely, unequivocally believe George C. Scott is the best Ebenezer Scrooge I have seen. Plus it features the brilliant David Warner (the ultimate British "oh hey, it's that guy" actor) as Cratchit. In fact, the entire cast is pretty perfect for it, with the possible exception of Tiny Tim, but I may just be saying that because he is disconcerting to look upon... (no offense, Anthony Walters, but young you was slightly creepy.) But seriously, I don't know why he in particular was so perfect for the role, nevertheless Scott as Scrooge is something to behold. 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #AChristmasCarol #1984 (#AChristmasCarol1984 ) #GeorgeCScott #GeorgeCScottAsScrooge #DavidWarner #SusannahYork #FrankFinlay #EdwardWoodward #RogerRees #MichaelGough #TheBestScrooge #CharlesDickens #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon . https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm75_pQO6x5E7lNfQphG2IsEHpuGFqdd8VYTCE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lifeforce (1985)

Lifeforce is one crazy movie. Everything about it - starting with the premise is bonkers. Knowing its story won't prepare you either. But you want a hint, don't you? Alright. What if I told you the screenplay is based on Colin Wilson’s 1976 novel The Space Vampires?

The crew of an advanced space shuttle encounters a gigantic needle-shaped alien vessel containing three naked humans in suspended animation. When the ship returns to earth and the humanoids awaken, it’s up to Col. Tom Carlsen (Steve Railsback), Col. Colin Caine (Peter Firth) to save the world from this space menace (with the lead alien being played, almost always in the nude, by Mathilda May). Patrick Stewart also plays a small role in the second half.

Lifeforce is a bad movie that fills you with enthusiasm. Even with the extended 116-minute cut, chunks of the narrative feel like they're missing and the information being delivered zips by at such a fast pace you'll easily get confused. So many elements feel like they're included for no real reason you'll wonder what was going through everyone’s heads. It's a so-bad-it's-good blast that's pretty easy on the eyes due to amount of bare skin shown throughout. It’s not just Mathilda May either, there’s plenty of male nudity too.

Lifeforce is a dozen plots crammed into one. It’s an alien invasion movie like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, it’s got elements of classic vampire lore like Dracula, it’s got plot points reminiscent of demonic possession horror films, and then it turns into a zombie movie. It’s so many things all at once it becomes this new wholly original entity. You can never quite figure out what’s going to happen next because Lifeforce always has a new trick up its sleeve and it’s as predictable as a deck of cards with a red 13 of clubs.

Director Tobe Hooper offers plenty of memorable moments. So many it's hard to pick which is the best. Many will lean towards some of the scenes featuring Patrick Stewart as Dr. Armstrong. I'd select a moment that highlights the special effects. You won't believe this film was made in 1985. Some of the CGI is a bit dated, but the practical effects are amazing. Even mentioning the CGI feels somewhat unfair. The golden standard for modern special effects is 1993's Jurassic Park. Lifeforce was made 8 years earlier, with less than half the budget.

Lifeforce knows you can counterweight not being good with consistent entertainment. It's filled with nudity and gory deaths/violence, the plot is unpredictable and at times so far out there it'll make your head spin. The biggest flaw with it is the opening credits. I wish they didn't tell you “based on the novel The Space Vampires by Colin Wilson”. It would amplify the surprises to godlike levels. I'm sure neither Tobe Hooper nor anyone involved in the filming will fondly remember the film but I’m a fan. You should be too. I recommend it to anyone who wants something completely different or who likes bad movies. (Extended cut on Blu-ray, October 16, 2015)
