Crocodile Dundee (1986)[edit]

Crocodile Dundee (stylized as 'Crocodile' Dundee in the U.S.) is a 1986 adventure comedy film set in the Australian Outback and in New York City. It stars Paul Hogan as the weathered Mick Dundee, and Hogan's future wife American actress Linda Kozlowski, whom he first met while working on the film, as reporter Sue Charlton. Crocodile Dundee - 4/5 stars A Film Review by John Ulmer 'Crocodile Dundee' is one of those Fish Out of the Water tales; the innocent outsider thrown into the frustrations of modern life. Or is it the Croc out of the Water? Whatever it is, it's one of the best of its genre.

A New York reporter named Sue Charlton heads to Australia to interview the living legend, known as 'Crocodile' Dundee. When she finally finds him in the vast Australian terrain, she is so enthralled with him that she brings him back with her to New York City. In New York, Dundee is amazed by the many wonders of the city life and the interesting people there. It's a whole new way of life for the crocodile hunting adventurer.

Crocodile Dundee II (1988)[edit]

Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee is just settling into his new way of life, in a home in Manhattan, when a South American drug dealer abducts his girlfriend, Sue. The drug dealer believes that images of his criminal activities, taken by her photographer ex-husband, are now being held by her. The crime boss takes her to Colombia under threatening pretenses, hoping that she'll give up the evidence. The legendary intrepid Dundee is soon on the criminal's trail, and as an expert hunter and adventurer he aims to rescue his hostage girlfriend.

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001)[edit]

Dundee an expert adventurer in the truest sense: a crocodile hunter who lives in the wilds of the Australian Outback, and survived the dangers of New York City. The titular character must move to the colorful netherworld of the United States - Los Angeles, California - when his wife, Sue receives a new job as bureau chief of a newspaper. 'Mick' becomes an amateur undercover investigator when a conspiracy arises surrounding a Hollywood studio and their next big film release.

Dundee (2018)[edit]

Hogan refused several proposals for more Crocodile Dundee films.[2] In January 2018, two trailers were released online for what was marketed as another film in the series, titled Dundee, with the tagline The Son of a Legend Returns Home. The film was said to star Danny McBride as Brian Dundee, the youngest son of the original Michael 'Crocodile' Dundee. The trailers also feature cameo appearances by Australian actors Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Margot Robbie, Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, Liam Hemsworth, Jessica Mauboy, and Luke Bracey.[3] Various aspects of the campaign made some publications believe that the film was an elaborate hoax.[4] It was later reported that these ads were actually part of a lead up to a Super Bowl commercial for Tourism Australia.[4] McBride and Hemsworth starred in the final commercial, which included Hogan in a cameo.[2][5]

Following the positive response to the fake trailers from the campaign, Chris Hemsworth discussed production on the short clips and confirmed the possibility of creating a film, stating: 'While shooting, Danny McBride and I spoke about if it could be a movie. We started to get worried that if this commercial is as good as we hoped it's going to be, people are going to be disappointed, we're going to have to make a movie. But I had so much fun making this commercial, I'd definitely be open to discussions about it.'[6]

It's officially a franchise: After ranking the and, we completed the trilogy (and have even tacked on for good measure). Like any beloved franchise, the best horror movies ranking includes a careful mix of fan service and fresh ideas to keep both the horror devotee and the novice satiated. With 2019 in the books, it's time to reflect on the scariest, goriest, nerve-wracking horror movies of the year, and there's no shortage of material to work with. If you saw something good that I missed, or you want to yell at me respectfully for including a documentary on the list, find me on Twitter.Like this kind of stuff? Good: Check out our picks for the and the, and also our profiles of. The ProdigyRelease date: February 8Cast: Jackson Robert Scott, Taylor Schilling, Colm FeoreDirector: Nicholas McCarthy ( At the Devil's Door)Why it's good: There's always room for another 'killer kid' flick if you ask me, and while this one borrows quite a bit from both The Omen and Child's Play (yes, really), it also earns a lot of credit for being well-crafted, consistently creepy, and unexpectedly, well, dark.

Plus that lead kid (Scott) is pretty damn great.Where to watch it: Rent on, and VOD. ThrillerRelease date: April 14Cast: Jason Woods, Jessica Allain, Mykelti WilliamsonDirector: Dallas JacksonWhy it's good: If you have an affection for the classic slasher flicks of years past (particularly the 1980 Canadian favorite Prom Night), here's a low-key but enjoyable homage that's packed with all the tragic pranks, hooded killers, red herrings, and (mostly) deserving victims you'd expect. It's nothing we haven't seen before, plot-wise, but there are enough interesting performances and plot contortions to keep things interesting until the late-arriving mayhem hits the screen. Plus it's set in South Central Los Angeles, which is pretty unique for a slasher flick.Where to watch it:; rent on. The Field Guide to EvilRelease date: March 29Cast: Birgit Minichmayr, Marlene Hauser, Niharika SinghDirector: Several, including Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala ( Goodnight Mommy)Why it's good: Indie horror fans have no shortage of anthology flicks to choose from these days, and here's another decent effort to add to the list. Like virtually every multi-story horror film ever made, The Field Guide to Evil is a decidedly mixed bag - the offerings here range from quietly fascinating to atmospheric yet dull - but it does have the distinction of being a truly international affair; the segments found within represent myths, legends, and fears from nations like Austria, Hungary, India, Greece, Turkey, Poland, and the United States.Where to watch it: Hulu; rent on, and VOD. The Dead Don't DieRelease date: June 14Cast: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe SevignyDirector: Jim Jarmusch ( Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai)Why it's good: Longtime cult film icon Jim Jarmusch has made lots of films that have delighted critics and (indie-friendly) audiences in equal measure, but this oddball zombie comedy was noteworthy upon its release for earning all sorts of negative reviews and disappointed reactions.

But I kind of liked it! Yes it's weird, droll, dry, and occasionally dumb, but it's really difficult to dislike a laid-back zombie invasion in which Bill Murray and Adam Driver are the laconic cops on the scene.Where to watch it: Rent on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, VOD. The Curse of la LloronaRelease date: April 19Cast: Linda Cardellini, Patricia Velasquez, Sean Patrick ThomasDirector: Michael Chaves (feature film debut)Why it's good: This sixth entry in the long-running horror series that also boasts two Conjurings, three Annabelles, and one Nun doesn't reinvent any wheels by revisiting the well-known Latin American legend of the 'weeping woman' who stalks young children, but like the previous chapters, it knows how to deliver some satisfying scares in a very moody atmosphere.Where to watch it: VOD. Escape RoomRelease date: January 4Cast: Taylor Russell, Tyler Labine, Logan MillerDirector: Adam Robitel ( Insidious: The Last Key)Why it's good: A bunch of strangers awaken inside of a booby-trapped maze. You know the drill by now. Take a dash of Hostel, a splash of Cube, and a good portion of Saw and you're pretty much up to speed on what has to offer - and yet, despite its relatively familiar set-up (and PG-13 rating), there's still a decent amount of clever twists, chills, kills, and (of course) escapes to be found here.Where to watch it: Starz; buy on, and VOD. Annabelle Comes HomeRelease date: June 26Cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Mckenna GraceDirector: Gary DaubermanWhy it's good: Between The Conjuring, The Nun, and previous Annabelle entries, this marks the seventh entry in the long-running occult horror series that's focused mostly on demonic possessions, very haunted houses, and (of course) extremely creepy dolls.

About

This chapter seems especially geared towards younger horror fans, but that doesn't stop it from spinning a decent yarn and offering some highly amusing scares in the second half.Where to watch it: Rent on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, VOD. FracturedRelease Date: October 11Cast: Sam Worthington, Lily Rabe, Stephen TobolowskyDirector: Brad Anderson ( Session 9)Why it's good: A stressed-out father drops his wife and daughter off at the hospital for a routine CAT scam, but when he returns to pick them up, they're nowhere to be found.

Yes, we've all seen the 'suddenly missing loved one' premise in countless movies and TV shows but director Brad Anderson is good at bringing some craft and color to even the most familiar of plots. (Check out 2013's The Call for an example.) Sam Worthington does an admirable job of playing the confused man who has no idea what's going on, and while you might figure out the big twist before the finale, it's still a suitably suspenseful way to spend 90 minutes.Where to watch it. HellboyRelease date: April 12Cast: David Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Daniel Dae KimDirector: Neil Marshall ( The Descent)Why it's good: While most of the critics (and the opening weekend audience) made their opinions immediately clear on - and the reactions were not kind - I found myself having a fairly decent time with this R-rated adaptation - despite some obvious glitches in the areas of clunky editing and inconsistent special effects quality. Guillermo del Toro's awesome Hellboy movies are lush and deeply imaginative pieces of dark fantasy. This new version seems content to plunk Hellboy and his eclectic mess of horror tropes into sort of a wise-assed Bond movie structure, and for the most part it works as amiably insane monster madness. Well, it did for me, anyway.Where to watch it: Rent on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, VOD. GlassRelease date: January 18Cast: Samuel L.

Jackson, James McAvoy, Bruce WillisDirector: M. Night Shyamalan ( Unbreakable)Why it's good: While it's safe to say that in a strange 'anti-superhero' trilogy goes to some highly unexpected (and perhaps even unpopular) places, there's always something to be said for audacity and unpredictability, both of which M.

Night Shyamalan exhibits here with no apologies. I'm not sure I even like this movie all that much - despite a few great moments - but I respect its boldness.Where to watch it: HBO Go/Now; buy on, and VOD.

Pet SemataryRelease date: April 5Cast: Jason Clarke, Amy Seimitz, John LithgowDirector: Kevin Kolsch & Dennis Widmyer ( Starry Eyes)Why it's good: There's not much here that fans of the Stephen King novel (and Mary Lambert's 1989 adaptation) haven't seen before, but this one avoids the 'stinky remake' curse because it does manage to throw in a few new twists we didn't see coming, plus the cast is great and the titular ' is brought to life (relatively speaking) in very creepy fashion. Fair warning that this is definitely, but hey, so is the source material.Where to watch it: Rent on, Vudu, and VOD. BrightburnRelease date: May 24Cast: Elizabeth Banks, Jackson Dunn, David DenmanDirector: David Yarovsky ( The Hive)Why it's good: Ever wondered what would happen if Superman turned out to be, well, evil?

The writers of this movie sure have! Brightburn plays exactly like a modern re-telling of Superman's arrival here on Earth, only this time around he's an alien who only seems decent.

But once early adolescence rears its head, this poor kid goes from an awkward outcast to something monumentally snotty, belligerent, and violent. The pre-teen from hell, essentially.
