...Really impressed by how we Dawn was taken over to the format. Beautiful...

Oh yes Dawn looks absolutely fantastic in Hi-Def. Which player did you get?

And welcome to the BD club. :)

Story, acting, direction, visuals. Pretty much everything about it was solid.

Thanks for the rec, Ros.

Nice!

Thanks for the thumbs up, Roshiq and Angra.

I highly enjoyed it! Pretty entertaining with an unpredictable twist at the end...yeah, I didn't see that coming. A good comeback for John Carpenter.

Great to hear! I was waiting for a positive response before watching this. Now it is a must-see for me!

Highly entertaining sword play flick. The final scene, the battle sequence, lasts a long time and is totally engrossing. The setting for this final explosive stage is raw, violent and gripping. By the time the powder keg goes off, I found myself chomping at the bit to see some retribution.

In short, wonderful, emotive story telling with a superb climax. Check it!!!

Fabulous! I was a bit apprehensive about how Miike would handle this remake but looks like he's done an expert job. This is going into my must watches for this month. Thanks, Tony!

I was particularly impressed by the honest portrayal of how this small town dealt with something completely outside its experience. The raw low-budget, almost documentary feeling also helped to honestly impart the emotions of the situation far better than a slick Hollywood approach would have.

I agree....that's what I meant by "NO FICTIONAL HORROR".

Finale (2009)

I have read somewhere that the director spent 4 years on making this film. But sadly...it just turned out a complete piece of crap!

>>: F

The Tunnel (2011)

Terror in the Tunnels of Sydney! A POV-Docu style Aussie 'underground' horror feature, not bad!

>>: B

The Woman (2011)

The sequel story of Jack Ketchum's Offspring and as it's co-written & directed by Lucky Mckee (MAY) so things get bit psychologically 'bloody' twisted this time. But the film takes time to build up its characters first and then...the last 30 minutes turns into quite a grotesque showcase of some grisly violence.

>>: B+

Red Riding Hood (2011)

The big bad wolf can talk!

>>: C

The Shrine (2010)

On the half way of the film it seems like another pretty average cult horror feature but it turned out quite entertaining in the final showdown.

>>: B+

Cool I've got The Shrine sitting here might give it a watch tonight.

Domino

Hated it. Mickey Rourke was great as usual but he couldn't save this one.

Mothers Day 2011

And welcome to the BD club

Yeah I have to say I was pretty surprised...they just got it to look perfect...
PS3 160gb. Got that and my first HDTV at the same time.

The Devil - 7/10

I know everybody's hating on M. Night at the minute but this is pretty entertaining/intriguing story telling and proof that you don't 120 mins to get your message across. Definitely worth watching.

The Frankenstein Experiment (2010)



>>: C

La Moustache (2005)



One day, on a whim, Marc decides to shave off the mustache he's worn all of his adult life. He waits patiently for his wife's reaction, but neither she nor his friends seem to notice. Stranger still, when he finally tells them, they all insist he never had a mustache. Is Marc going mad? Is he the victim of some elaborate conspiracy? Or has something in the world's order gone terribly awry?

A very strange but interesting French movie that somewhat started with a Hitchcockian flavor but slowly descends into Lynchian surreal realm of madness, where nothing is ultimately provable. So it'll frustrate those who demand that a mystery be solved & all questions wrapped up with explanations, as the ending is pretty ambiguous where the audience need to fill the blanks with their own interpretations.

For Y'ur height only

Sounds very Lynchian indeed. I'm on it.
