I gotta pretty much agree with Terry. --- The wife and I just finished watching Tremors 6 and we liked it. The Original four were better. Especially 1 & 4. But overall, I think we'd watch it again as part of a marathon. Probably not as a stand alone like 1 or 4, but certainly good enough to carry on the Tremors tradition of Direct-To-Video Not Overly Horrifying Or Slasher type movies. I also agree with Terry that it was trying too hard to be serious. (If ya can count all the Global Warming and DARPA digs as serious. LOL) They do need to lighten up and give us back the laughs though. --- As to the chicks getting ate in 5 & 6, . . . I'm pretty sure that the guys still outnumber the gals by a long stretch. In the original Dr Wallace and his wife both got eaten early on in the flick, so Graboids have never shown a preference for males only. I'm just glad that they haven't found a need to make the Graboid feeding scenes overly graphic as so many flicks would have been doing by now.? --- Sex scenes??? --- I must have missed something other than the goodbye kiss at the end.?
Was I the only one who remembered those eggs in the the hot springs are still sitting there???
OVERALL = I'd give it a four Graboids out of five rating. LOL
Keep It FUN!

I did watch the whole thing. I am really sad that Stampede Entertainment didn't do the latest two. The original group really understood the campiness was main charm of the first four movies. In the first four there was not a single sex scene or any young ladies getting killed, both of which are staples in slasher films. Those do show up in 5 and 6.?
Both 5 and 6 had too many characters, too many sub plots and were just too serious.
There was a very nice call back to the original movie in 6 though.

I'm not a Tremors lover but I do/did like all of the movies I've seen up to now. It maybe good if a person sticks with it but 10 minutes of what I saw turned me right off. Of course the boss was sitting here too, I may go back and try to watch it when she is gone. :-)

It would sure be FUN to see a reunion flick with all the old crew. Heck, I'd settle for a spin-off book! (series??? . . . I could never get THAT lucky!)

Hollyweird has no idea of the concept of new idea's!! LOL
That said, I started watching the new Tremors movie. Starts out where they are supposed to be in the Artic but it was obviously shot in sand. The second scene cuts to the original store with Bert in it arguing with the tax man ... and the show just gets worse and worse.

Greetings All,
I really had to laugh when I saw this commercial on the tube. This was one of the last video games we bought for the kids (while they were still kids). All I could think was, . . . Well, at least they ain't rebooting yet ANOTHER old TV show! ---- But I sure do gotta wonder what they'll be forced to turn to when they run out of old movies, TV shows and comic books, and video games. . . . something ORIGINAL??? === Hope I get to live that long! LOL

Re: SOLO: A Star Wars Story
Yeah. And it seems that the more they push-peddle the thing (like with slipping film shots into other totally unrelated commercials = insurance, food, etc adds) the worse the flick turns out. Go Figure!
That was also one of the reasons we totally gave up on watching new comedys. You saw/heard All Three of the good jokes in the previews. The rest of the flick would turn out to be lame filler. No matter what major star was aping about on the screen. --- Thanks to our grandkids we learned that all the good And FUNNY writers had turned to doing the Kid Vid Cartoons. = Far more laughs for your buck than any "adult" oriented comedy could ever hope to crank out in a lifetime! = Pretty Sad. . . . But GREAT for giving kids (and us almost still kids) a place to laugh in this world!
Keep It FUN!

Re: Netflix TREMORS TV Series Dumped . . . AGAIN!
Yep. We don't watch much TV these days. Haven't for years. If we do, it's to mainline stream a series (NO DARN COMMERCIALS!!!) But this new job I've got has me staying in hotels four to five nights a week so I catch about an hour of SyFy and the weather a night. One, a book series I read a while back and really liked = The Expanse, is pretty good. The rest, . . . not very much. Pretty much all lame CGI-ed soap-opera stuff, IMO. = Me, I'd rather hope to catch the Futurama reruns! LOL?
I've even tried to watch The Walking Dead on another channel one night just because everyone (including my kids) RAVES!!! about it. = Thought it weak, stupid, boring and more fit for Zombie Chow than anything actually worth wasting time watching. Heck, I've gotta deal with scarier Zombies every time I go to WalMart! Sure glad now I didn't waste money on the audios!?
Yeah, so I don't get it. . . . But what with the people they've got doing the picking&choosing in HollyWeirdLand these days I'm sure they came up with a million and one of THEIR reasons not to go with it. No matter how good or bad the pilot actually was. . . . I'm just hoping that somewhere down the line they release it so that we can all get a peek at it.?

Ever notice that the previews always end up being the only good parts of a new movie?
