When #zombiesteve52 says Space #zombiesteve52 gets Space!
It’s space week, & I’m about to watch something that didn’t get the best reviews, but my curiosity compels me to watch

Week 15 Space
#zombiesteve52
Joe Dante-directed sci-fi film starring Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix as two of three teenage boys who build a spaceship from their dreams and travel to outer space, encountering aliens. Despite its cult following, the film was a box office failure
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) is a science fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Richard Dreyfuss as an ordinary man whose life is upended after a UFO encounter, leading him to obsessively seek contact with extraterrestrial life alongside a single mother (Melinda Dillon) whose son is abducted. The film is known for its sense of wonder, groundbreaking special effects, John Williams' score, and its focus on peaceful contact rather than conflict, culminating in a spectacular rendezvous at a remote location. It was a major critical and commercial success, earning an Academy Award for Best Cinematograph
SpaceCamp (1986) is a sci-fi adventure film about a group of teenagers at a summer space camp who are accidentally launched into orbit in a space shuttle, forcing them to work with a counselor to get back to Earth. Starring Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Tate Donovan, and a young Joaquin Phoenix (billed as Leaf Phoenix), the movie was directed by Harry Winer and featured a score by John Williams. Released shortly after the Challenger disaster, it faced poor box office performance and criticism for its timing, though it has since become a cult classic.
Jason X (2001) is the tenth film in the Friday the 13th franchise, sending Jason Voorhees into space in the year 2455, where he is cryogenically frozen and reawakened on a spaceship, leading to a futuristic slasher-comedy as he hunts the crew, eventually becoming a cyborg known as "Uber Jason". The film is known for its campy, tongue-in-cheek tone, taking the horror formula to a sci-fi setting with holographic Crystal Lake simulations and a cyborg upgrade for Jason.
Strap in, astronauts. Week 15 of #zombiesteve52 is SPACE, where the movies are epic and the physics are… optional at best.
Comedy is the theme this week. And it just so happens to be the 22nd anniversary of one of the best horror comedies ever. Perfect day to rewatch this classic

Does it need to actually be funny to count as a comedy, #ZombieSteve52?
A brain surgeon marries a femme fatale whose life he saved, causing his life to turn upside down. Things go even more awry when he falls in love with a telepathic brain.
The Man With Two Brains (1983)
#zombiesteve52
Week 14: Comedy
I guess I’m going classic tonight — although a few minutes in and I’ve barely cracked a smile. Might’ve picked the wrong one. Then again… it is Steve Martin, so I really should’ve known what kind of chaos I was signing up for.

Week 14 of the #zombiesteve52 challenge is here, and we’re diving into Comedy Lately it feels like comedies are an endangered species, So this week, are you dusting off a classic that still makes you snort‑laugh, or rolling the dice on something new that might actually be funny
Poster for Albert Brooks' Modern Romance
It's Comedy week for #ZombieSteve52 and I heard people gushing about Albert Brooks recently, but I can't remember where. It's awkward comedy, as in derived from awkward situations rather than awkwardly done, but it's still comedy.
#ZombieSteve52 Week - Oscar nomination (any year)
This one causes confusion as I googled Oscar noms yesterday, got this movie, then after watching realized it was an academy awards list, then today realized that’s the same thing.
Anyway. Good movie. Epic gum chewing. A racist gets slapped & cries.
Heather is an attractive, competitive, sweet-and-sassy softball player who is used to winning, but she tends to strike out with guys once they find out she's not their type. Tyler is a competitive baseball player, charming and saintly, who has never kissed. When happens when Heather tries to get Tyler's first kiss and Tyler tries to win Heather's heart to help launch his baseball career? A head-on competition that ignites a light-hearted cat-and-mouse chase, of course. And since falling in love wasn't part of their plan, now Tyler must choose between his dream and Heather, and Heather must choose between love and loneliness.
Pitching Love and Catching Faith (2015)
#zombiesteve52
Week 13: Sports-Themed Movie (Any Sport, including E-Sports)
Faith based love story on the ball field grabbed my attention as well as the .25 cent price tag for the DVD.
Week 13 of #zombiesteve52 is to watch a Sports themed movie. Going with one from my watchlist, Sixty Minutes on Netflix
#ZombieSteve52 Week 10 - a movie with a killer soundtrack
Sing Street
Despite a rather silly name, this is such a delightful movie!

‘ey yo, #zombiesteve52! I did it!
Not a sports guy, so this week’s theme was a bit of a challenge. Decided to just rewatch this since the sequel’s coming soon & it is basically an inter-dimensional kumite

Superman returns poster
A day late, but last week was Week 17 of the #zombiesteve52 challenge and it was to watch a Superhero movie. Going with one I just never got around to, Superman Returns.
Poster for The Flying Scotsman, a bike racing movie with Johnny Lee Miller
It's Sports week for #ZombieSteve52 and I've had this on my shelf for about a decade. I had initially debated Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India, but it's nearly 4 hours and I have stuff to do today. Maybe next year. Also, found this list if anyone needs inspiration. letterboxd.com/tarokhnstuff...
Forgot the #zombiesteve52 tag

Week 12: Superhero

We got Super Heroes as the #zombiesteve52 theme this week. Time to fill a neglected hole.
Kind of forgot I was rewatching the MCU. Good time to pick that up again
#NowWatching
#zombiesteve52
#zombiesteve52 Week 11 (which was last week) was to watch any Oscar‑nominated film from any year, any category. Going with The Wild Robot
#ZombieSteve52 Week 9: Weather
Catnado.
A very low budget movie that’s actually several shorts based on the catnado theme. Weird anti vax vibes in one skit?
Three away from being caught up!
#ZombieSteve52 Week 8: Based on or turned into a tv show
I actually watched this awhile ago but forgot to post it here.
Poster for LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash2018
It's Superhero week for #ZombieSteve52 and while I do love The Flash, I totally picked this because Kate Micucci as Zatanna seems hilarious to me.
Fantastic 4

Week 17 of the #zombiesteve52 challenge has arrived, and we’re going full cape‑and‑cowl.
This week is all about superhero movies—the big, the bold, the ridiculous, the iconic.
Suit up and let’s see what you’ve got.
Thought I’d go with this film for this week’s #zombiesteve52 category. It was nominated & won for best editing in 1969. Haven’t seen it since I was a kid & been wanting to rewatch for years
#NowWatching
I didn’t get to see this before the Oscars on Sunday, but at least I got to count it towards #ZombieSteve52 !
