Claudia Jennings motorboating on the Bayou, me-o-my-o, Howie’s best work, and traumatic tales of Lincoln’s birthday. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky🎞

neutral · AI labelView post →I ended up liking this more than I expected to, but it has the shittiest needle drops in the Vietnam movie game ("Brown Eyed Girl" to "American Pie" to "My Girl", then back to "American Pie", a bar band cover of "Born On The Bayou", a lot of George M. Cohan)

neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching THE BAYOU because I couldn't resist a movie about plane crash survivors being eaten by alligators. Even better, it starts off with a DEA raid on a drug warehouse resulting in meth being dumped into said bayou to make mutant alligators.

I haven't felt this betrayed since I found out that nobody in CCR was actually "Born in the Bayou" Still a good movie though #thebrutalist, even if it's all lies.

neutral · AI labelView post →Good Times is of course a classic, but I recommend a low-budget action movie called "Bad Asses on the Bayou" starring Danny Trejo and Danny Glover. It's not *good* per se, but it's incredibly enjoyable, and it made me wish someone would have put John Amos and Richard Roundtree in a buddy cop movie.

I was thinking about how to make it a movie, actually, I just want the eords on the screen and a great voice reading them. Nicole Kidman? Nancy Leman? Michelle Obama (in a heaven somewhere)
neutral · AI labelView post →This is probably better than it deserves I have seen Rogue. This is not Rogue. This is of a lower quality, and some of the stock-footage of the actual animals is annoying. Some of the cgi used for the animals is decent, way better than one might expect from a movie like this, which is a lovely surprise. The characters are distinct and likable enough, and the actors do a good job of portraying them, giving them all enough life so that you can engage with them without overstaying or overstating…

neutral · AI labelView post →Bad Ass 3: Bad Asses on the Bayou is a solid ending to the Bad Ass trilogy, though admittedly I didn't enjoy this film quite as much as its predecessors. Still, this is one of those rare instances for me where the third film isn't complete garbage compared to the other entries. Go watch this movie!

neutral · AI labelView post →From an ideological perspective, the treatment of Malika is revealing. She represents the neoliberal subject par excellence: impulsive, self-assertive, driven by the primacy of personal desire over collective responsibility. That the film positions such behaviour as not only tolerable but admirable signals a larger ideological failure #TheBayou https://boxd.it/bbl2fV

If you wanna watch drugged up crocodiles do… nothing? 🦎 Fascinating concept (Methed up Crocadiles) bogged down by a story nobody wanted. Let’s kill some people in cool ways. Let the horde of monsters be monsters. Stop talking. #filmsky

positive · AI labelView post →So glad I pay to watch Hulu. It has the latest & greatest. 2025 movie, "The Bayou" has camp thrills and chills with stoned out reptiles. Bet with your friends who get chomped first, second etc. I like this fun review site. #Entertainment #movies #horror
positive · AI labelView post →I recommend skipping this crocodile attack film. A group of drug fueled crocs pursue survivors of a plane crash in The Bayou. The characters are completely unlikable. I didn’t care what happened to any of them. The attack scenes are laughable… the ones you can actually see that is.
