Rammbock: Berlin Undead

[Angra]

Had a day of drama yesterday.


"My best enemy" 7/10

Danish flick about school bullying. Surprisingly violent considering the young age of the characters.
If only the acting had been better.


"The way way back" 7-8/10

Sweet coming-of-age flick with a terrific performance from Sam Rockwell who completely stole the show in all the scenes he was in. The movie even managed to have me in tears at the end.


"The perks of being a wallflower" 8/10

Also a very charming coming-of-age flick with some delightful lead characters. Looooved Ezra Miller. He was as lovable in this movie as he was frightening in "We need to talk about Kevin". This one also had me in tears a few times. Maybe im just a big softy??



"Silver linings playbook" 7/10

Fairly entertaining, but didn't do a lot for me. I'm pretty sure i didn't cry..

YES. She is awesome. I really geeked out about the fact that she had a short in the anthology.

Couldn't agree with you more here.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who saw this and enjoyed it. I think it really flew under the radar. I read the book AGES ago and I was reticent to watch the movie because of how much the book resonated among my friends... But I thought the adaptation was great, Emma Watson was utterly charming, and Ezra Miller was so fantastic. It was great to see him in this context where he's really cute and likable vs. We Need to Talk About Kevin where he was utterly and effectively creepy - I want to see more of him.

The Nightmare Before Christmas, I can go one for days about how much I love and adore this movie but I'll keep it short. This movie is just fun to watch and all the songs are wonderful, even my least favorite songs I know all the words to and will sing just as loudly as my favorites. This movie is a Halloween and Christmas staple in my family and this has to be one of the best movies to watch with a big group. Super glad I got to watch it tonight and cuddle up with my fiance on the couch :) Aww he's the Jack to my Sally....ok that was sappy and gross, I apologize.

"Green Street Hooligans" 7/10

A movie that makes you dislike brits and elijah wood. Highly entertaining nevertheless.



"Gardens of the Night" 5/10

A grusome story about child trafficing. I felt nothing..

I blame the director and the mediocre acting abilities. The two lead characters felt hollow and so did their relationship. And the most interesting part, for me, was never explained. Totally ridiculous.


"Reform School Girl" (1994) 2/10

Piece of crap.

Curse of Chucky. Was hyped to see this, because as a kid I loved the first three. Hated the last two, and this one's different, kind of a mixed bag. Don't know much what to think.

PLEASE BEWARE OF SPOILERS BELOW

Good;
*Nice creepy feel.
*Chucky's hilarious one liners.
*Commendable effort to visual detail, takes cues from what made slasher movies awesome in the 80's and 90's.
*Lesbians.
*Fun and interesting plot progression.
*Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.

Bad;
*Not enough deaths, and what deaths there are aren't really impressive.
*They felt the need to rewrite Charles Lee Ray's entire backstory. Seriously, guys?
*Chucky doesn't bleed when he's injured, and there is no ending climax where he gets gloriously killed.

Personal verdict; well it's not a total mess, but nowhere near as fun as the old ones. But I really can't believe they didn't kill Chucky at the end. Making a slasher movie really isn't complicated, damn it. Crazy ending climax is necessary. Also, the whole thing happens in a house. Meh. I appreciated it a bit more than the last two, and...somehow...it was fun to watch. But I wouldn't watch it again.

Maniac (the Elijah Wood version)

Headhunters. Watched on Netflix after finishing the book the other day. Good film but they changed some bits around which was a bit annoying but, well, I wondered how the film makers would have handled the FULL outhouse / toilet scene ha,ha.

To the poster who said about Green street I understand what you mean but we aint all bad lol.

To the poster who mentioned Frodo Baggins does Maniac what did you think of it ? I quite enjoyed it and I loved the original, isn't the musice he puts on at one point the song out of Silence of the lambs, you know Buffalo Bill's dance scene ?
