sukiyaki western django (2008)

haha, goodness...where to begin?

i got to see this on the big screen as part of a weekend-long "b-movie celebration".
i figured i knew what i was getting myself into watching a spaghetti western by takashi miike (and featuring quentin tarantino), and in a way, it's precisely what you might think. however, there are a few points that took me by surprise.

it's quite easy to tell that miike and his bunch have a profound love for the genre, and made the film not only to pay homage, but to have a blast doing it. the result is a goofy, gory, WAY over-the-top film, packed with all of the essentials of the spaghetti western; savagely convoluted plot, brow-furrowing dialogue, lots of cool characters, leonesque close-ups, cinematographic grandeur, intermittent flashbacks, a soundtrack that morricone himself could have easily written, and so on. miike, on a technical level, does a great job of keeping the pacing right and balancing between comedy, drama, and action.

and the gore is most ample, and very much traditional miike.

all in all, it's definitely a lot of fun. i'd recommend it for sure, especially to lovers of the genre, because that's who they made it for.

---------------------------------------

also, a question for people who have seen death of a ghost hunter (2007):

is it any good? what'd you think?
thanks in advance!

Day of the Dead (remake/reworking)

ended up liking this one ... fast zombies again - (some doing weird shit like crawling across ceilings and jumping like spiders) - for the visual effect - nothing that could be explained as an effect of how they became zombies - but i didnt mind at all - i kind of liked the way it looked.

characters slightly elevated above the typical cliches ...

and i like how they rejigged 'Bud'

all in all - it could have been a lot worse - it kept me interested and i didnt roll my eyes once (which i do a lot with zombie films these days)

[Devil-Hunter]

Day of the dead Remake was good film.

[Phalanx]

I've actually got the DOTD film you guys are referring to...is it independant of the last DAWN film, or a sequel?
I might check it out soon all the same, it's been sitting around for a while now.

If this one isn't a contunuation, IS there actually a planned sequel to the ?2004? dawn?

Last seen movie...I can't remember...
I watched HELLBOY 2 a little while back, which I thought was really good, an improvement on DT's first attempt. Great stunt coreography and an atmosphere all its own.

It wasn't a continuation...... There isn't one like that planned that I know of, but you should watch the remake... a hot zombie slaying chick and a bit of fun.

.

if anything it could be considered a possible prequel to the 2004 dawn of the dead ... same fast zombies ... but in this case it shows where/how the infection started... but in all probability - its an independant effort

Last watched - Young Frankenstein

[The_Return]

Boogie Nights

Well, I've now seen all of P.T. Anderson's major films (aside from Sydney/Hard 8 and a few shorts), and I have to say that he's yet to disappoint. This one wasn't my favourite of his work (that goes to There Will Be Blood, followed by Magnolia), but it was still a fantastic movie.

Great performances, great script, great camera work...just an all-around great movie.

went back to the b-movie thing today and got to see these on the big screen:

for a few dollars more (1965)

night of the living dead (1968)

psycho (1960)

fright night (1985)

-after fright night, i got to meet its writer/director, tom holland (also responsible for child's play, the langoliers, thinner, etc.), and had a nice little chat with him, and finally found out why jerry dandrige eats fruit throughout the entire film (i had always wondered.). anyway, he signed my copy of the film.

lots of good fun.

À bout de souffle (breathless) (1960)

[sfear]

Watched Progeny yesterday. Made by the people who made Re-Animator (co-produced by Stuart Gordon who also helped with the story) its a tale of alien abduction/seduction and the hopelessness of trying to fight other planet people. More sf than horror its easily enjoyable by both fan bases. Wouldn't pay a lot of money for it. Fortunately I found a used VHS for a buck at a pawnshop.

Beneath ~ I really, REALLY disliked this movie and I am not even sure why, yes, it was mostly predictable and dull, in my opinion, but I have seen far worse, and been bugged less. Must have been my mood.

Resident Evil: Extinction ~ actually liked it quite a bit better than the other two, nothing outstanding, but I had fun. Can't expect much more than that.

Original.
Yeah it was a bit predictable, but fun and enjoyable nevertheless. Good film to watch when you are bored and need quite a bit of entertainment.
I won't bother with the remake that's for sure.

i'll have to watch it and provide the tie breaker opinion

[urgeok2]

almost forgot :

Excalibur. hadn't seen it in quite a while - watched the HD-DVD last night.

i still really enjoy ALL the performances - especially Nicol Williamson's Merlin
but the film is in serious need of remixing - the sound is off in a lot of scenes and the bachground music needs to be readjusted and brought up in several places.

maybe some tighter editing in some spots as well. (and better Lady in the Lake special effects)


but still a fun movie ...

Donnie Darko: Director's cut and Bubbleboy

It was the weekend of Jake Gyllenhall. For as stupid as Bubble Boy is, I dont think it would have been nearly as good if a lesser actor had been in the lead role. And Swoozie Kurtz is godamn hilarious...

Miss Petigrew Lives For A Day

Surprisingly sweet and fun, This novel adaptaion feels like the best kind of old-time screwball comedy. Frances McDormand is great (as ususal) and Amy Adams is incadescent. If you are a guy with a theater-loving girlfriend, this film will make both of you happy.

If all you want is horror, steer clear.

8/10

[Kane_Hodder]

Full Metal Yakuza.
For the most part, a low budget Robocop rip-off. Again, the plot becomes thin from middle onwards. Not much action either as the title would suggest.

Samurai Cop (1989)

Hysterical. I don't usually recommend trash unless it's the golden goose, and here it is.

Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

Right up there among Argento's greatest giallos.

The Children (1980)

Eh...not bad. The premise gets old fast, but it's got a surprisingly shocking ending.

[hellfire1]

Mirrors - Could have been decent if not for the last hour or so...

Brainscan,

[joshaube]

An American Nightmare
Excellent documentary! Thanks for the rec. Speaks on the historical significance of a lot of horror films, such as Dawn of the Dead (consumerism), Shivers (sexual revolution), Last House on the Left (it's not ONLY a movie...) and so on. Really great interviews, especially with Savini.

Sick Girl
An alright installment in the MOH series. I'm a big fan of Angela Bettis and Lucky McKee. I just thought it could use a much darker tone. I was expecting a female version of Bugcrush.

Home Sick
See it. Now.

Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film
My must-see list has gotten much larger. UGH, one thing I hated about this? THEY GODDAMN SPOILED the twist endings to almost EVERY SINGLE MOVIE they talked about. I really enjoyed the interviews with the creator of Slumber Party Massacre, and the actress who played Angela in Sleepaway Camp.

[joshaube]

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
People say it's like The Evil Dead. I can see the connections, but it's totally not as fun. The only real action takes place an hour into the film, and while it's non-stop from there, it still doesn't reach Evil Dead status. I don't think Jack Brooks compares to Ash, either. Still a good watch. It's not GORY, persay, since most of the liquids are green goblin ooze, not blood.

Bloody Murder
Wow, what a rip-off of Friday the 13th. Shameless, too. They don't even try and pretend F13 never happened. And one of the characters TRIES to be self-aware, ala Scream, but it's just a bad attempt. The acting is horrific, as is the camera work and sound... VERY much like a softcore production on late night cable. Seriously. I think that's the nail-on-the-head. Softcore without sex.

[alkytrio666]

The first time I have seen this classic, and I loved the first half, the build up of the plot, the 20 minute scene where the blackmail took place etc..

Jesus...this is the first movie in a very, very long time to genuinely scare me.

It's a great horror movie right from the start, but the last 15 minutes or so just take it a whole other level. Doesn't really break much new ground, but they pull it off so incredibly well that it seems really fresh.

If any of you guys haven't seen this yet...track it down. Right now.

[sfear]

Last movie finished was Progeny by the creators of Re-Animator. Good but not great; entertaining but not thrilling. Today started Blame, from the 3-disc collection Six Films To Keep You Awake, the Spanish version of our Masters Of Horror if I understood my Fangoria correctly. So far so good.

[Despare]

Don't forget that if you have Xbox Live, you're supposed to be able watch them on your regular boob tube if you don't like the movie/compy thing.

I thought he made a fantastic villain...he was low-key and underplayed for sure - and he sure wont be winning any acting Oscars, this I realize - but I loved his character. Very menacing in a subtle kind of way.

You've got to admit his mask was pretty badass though, right? :p

[Roderick Usher]

Run Fatboy, Run

A cliche-filled rom-com/sports-com with cheap sit-com beats, gross-out gags, sappy crap and odd bits here and there. It is 100% predictable, but is saved by the perormances and the weird little bits of writing. Simon Pegg is simply charming. Thandie Newton is a stunner, Hank Azaria is a douchebag and Dylan Moran is awesome as the "kooky friend".

No where near great, but a fun little film.

6.9/10 (not quite a full 7)

Blindness (2008)

Perhaps the most under-appreciated film of the year, and it just opened last night. A majority of the reviews are scathingly negative, and with no real reason behind them.

The directing is superb; the camera work and cinematography are masterful. The soundtrack is simple, yet highly effective. The acting, while not entirely award-caliber, is very close to it. And the social relevance and messages backing this film? Incredible. Just incredible.

I loved every second of it. As disturbing, and disgusting, and vile, and rotten, and inhumane, and immoral, and every other adjective and word like these, as it is... I loved it.

I think the fact that it was so disturbing turned off a lot of critics. But that was the point.

It moved me.

I really do think it's a modern Salo: 120 Days of Sodom.

The leads have zero chemistry, the humor relies pretty much solely on stale, running gags and the plot was just an absolute mess. It's like they had 2-3 different stories to tell and didn't know where to go with any f them...but shot the movie anyway.

The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA – A good documentary on the rise and fall of the AWA (as well as a primer on the history of modern wrestling). It was funny to see them try to gloss over, or at least downplay, the role Vince McMahon had in dong the AWA in.

[jenna26]

Funny Games (remake) ~ never seen the original, but from what I understand its almost identical to the original. I have mixed feelings, I think the performances were good, and I can understand the point the filmmaker is trying to make. And I think most of it worked well, even if it is blatantly manipulative. But then there is one scene, where all of sudden it completely loses me, and there is no emotional impact after that. And that's a shame.

The Lost ~ sometimes surprisingly good, and disturbing.....other times, not so much.

Murder Party ~ really a lot of fun.

Waxwork & Waxwork 2

Bruce Campbells infamous rib-cage scene in the second one is hilarious. It was also fun to see Alexander Godunov again.

yesterday :

- our sons birthday party was 13 noisy kids at the theatre - went to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua (my son was dying to see it) I was prepared to gouge out my own eyes - and ended up actually being amused throughout the film .. the kids were glued to the screen (but they were a bunch of little bastards back in the party room)

- Blazing Saddles ... still a good film - but it seems pretty dated in parts now
(Monty Python and the Holy Grail is by far funnier and still current)

- Batman Begins - watched it in hi-def. I like this film more every time i see it.
bad casting for the scarecrow though - way too young.

[Vodstok]

Yeah, But Cillian Murphy plays a good nutcase, so its forgiveable

Watched Cloverfield. Pretty cool. shorter than I was expecting, and It bugs me that the movie ended with pretty much nothing answered, but i understand both by the type of movie it was, and really for writers, leaving stuff out and getting people guessing is half the fun. Some great "Holy Shit" moments. Especially Hud's moment in central park. Look to the left, look to the right, look up...:eek:

no - seriously - the 'bigness' had to be seen on the big screen - it put you right in the movie with the actors ..

I have the unique ability to absorb myself completely in something no matter where I am. I could watch it on a gameboy and have the same experience if i am in to it.

After one viewing, i was already having "Cloverfield" dreams at night (who knew i had apoll in my backyard? I did in the dream....)

I understand what you are getting at, and I love seeing movies in the theater because Ilove the overall experience, but I never have a hard time being completely absorbe din anythign that is even remotely interesting :D

[urgeok2]

i dont mean just getting aborbed in .. but it was a giant monster movie - where you look up ... you know ?

you were actually viewing the creature from the same perspective as the characters .. it really adds a crucial dimention to the movie ...



specifically the scene where they come out of the underground and get caught between the creature in the army - man i was there - right in the middle of it ...

it felt physical ...


as you can tell, this movie impressed the hell out of me.


I've since seen it on the home theatre and although that's the next best way to see it - it still lost a lot of the impact i experinced in the theatre.

Once apon a time in America

I just finished watching it, it was the first time I have seen it. I wish there were more movies being made today to this standard.

They were both made in the same year, so it's hard to say which one duplicated which. However; Scary Movie did a better job of it.


As for me the last movie I saw was Dark Corners on dvd,

Thought WAR was alright.
I think this is the same film released under the title "rogue assassin" here, with Jason Statham and Jet Li?
Yknow...there was another film I thought looked great from the trailers, similar theme, at least looked like a fun action romp that I would get a kick out of - it was called ECKS VS SEVER.
Funny thing is, the amount of similarities that happened with these 2 films.
Both starred people that had been in pretty good movies ('cept maybe Lucy Liu), both had great looking trailers, both seemed like they'd be kickass action flicks...ha, and I turned them both off after about 20-30 minutes.

Honestly among the films I will never bother with, or remotely recommend.

Hey just wondering if anyone in the states caught the movie "THE SIGNAL" yet?
Came out a while back, and I thought it was great...really gritty and crazy...nice soundtrack.

Demons

You know, I think I've grown away from this kind of thing...would have LOVED this a couple years back, but as it stands I was pretty lukewarm about it.

Maybe I was just in the wrong mood...but at least give me some semblance of a plot, or characters that are a little bit more than cardboard clones? Sure, the gore was fantastically done - but it takes more than that to make a good horror movie, IMO.

I didn't really hate it, but I can't see why it gets so much praise. Other movies have done the same thing far better.

Are You Scared?- I fell asleep

Angel Heart- I thought it was better when I watched it the first time.
All I saw this time were all the body doubles...man, I had no idea they needed 50 people to film sex scenes and STILL Rourke looked bad:eek: Amazing.

Waxwork- another one that was better the first time I watched it.

Secrets and Lies/ Career Girls- too fucking dismal. Captured bleak, fucked-up life perfectly.

Catacombs- better than expected, I would actually recommend this movie sheerly on the ending:)

Midnight Meat Train- brilliant, gotta love the twisted intellect of Clive Barker:cool:

See, a lot of people around here would say that, but I don't find films full of detail like this to be slow at all. I find reality fascinating, and when a movie takes the time to show the details of the working of a mind and the unravelling of a story that's very exciting to me.

quarantine (2008)

eh, it wasn't bad. it just seemed mostly lackluster after seeing the original.

however, what intrigued me most about seeing it was the reactions of the audience. it's clear to see the difference between american audiences and pretty much the rest of the world. the intent of the original filmmakers was left fairly intact (with a lot less hollywood-type tamperings than i anticipated), so what was meant to be terrifying in the original, or even genuinely creepy, was many times laughed at by the people in the theatre. i found the same phenomenon when i watched the funny games remake. obviously made with the same intent delivered on non-american audiences, the reactions in the small theatre in northern indiana in which i saw it ranged from nervous laughter to walking out to walking out and then back in, back out, back in, and so on to seemingly involuntary outspoken reasoning of the action onscreen (i.e. "why is he doing that? oh, it must be because _______. but wait! why in the world would they do that?! is it because _______." etc.). it was quite fascinating. of course, i myself am an american viewer, so why did i notice it? i don't know.

anyway, back to the film at hand:

save your money and rent it, unless you have no way of seeing the original right now.

[neverending]

I had the experience of seeing Eyes Without a Face at a small art theatre here in Portland with a mostly college crowd. The "sophisticated" college students were mostly laughing at the film and mocking it. I was appalled.

i would literally kill a man for the chance to see that on the big screen.
there's a wonderful festival (http://musicboxtheatre.com/feature/massacre4.html) in chicago that i usually go to each year, and they're actually showing it this year. however, some serious financial problems are probably going to keep me from going (which really, really sucks).

I caught this last night at the opening night of Screamfest at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and it was awesome! It captures the unbridled joy of Halloween with good scares, really good laughs, great stories and absolutely amazing art direction. The film drips with Halloweenie goodness. Sam is a new Halloween icon. This film should be viewed every year - too bad it will never be released properly - just because a few kids die... all right a LOT of kids die, but that's what makes it fun. If the kids were teens, the impact would be diluted and made to feel tired and lame.

It's screening in NYC next week. Anyone in the area needs to find thier way to the theater to see this piece of awesomeness.

Final Destination 2

I'm torn on this movie...the first one had one of the best scripts that I've ever seen for a slasher movie, and on that front this was a HUGE letdown. The plot was full of holes, the characters were boring and the whole things just seemed like a last minute excuse to tie together a bunch of set pieces.

BUT - holy crap, what AWESOME set pieces they were! This movie had some of the coolest, most original kills that I've ever seen - and the pile-up scene was just a masterpiece of controlled chaos.

So I guess it just depends what kind of mood you're in...I really enjoyed it, but had I been looking for something "good" I would have been sorely let down.

Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper

I fuckin' love 70s Alice Cooper, great concert and one of the best rock n roll films period.

I fuckin' love 70s Alice Cooper, great concert and one of the best rock n roll films period.

Gotta track that down - the only Cooper DVD I've seen is Welcome to My Nightmare (which is pretty badass).

Seeing him live again next weekend - fuckin' pumped:cool:

Trick 'r Treat

Holy crap!!!

I caught this last night at the opening night of Screamfest at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and it was awesome! It captures the unbridled joy of Halloween with good scares, really good laughs, great stories and absolutely amazing art direction. The film drips with Halloweenie goodness. Sam is a new Halloween icon. This film should be viewed every year - too bad it will never be released properly - just because a few kids die... all right a LOT of kids die, but that's what makes it fun. If the kids were teens, the impact would be diluted and made to feel tired and lame.

It's screening in NYC next week. Anyone in the area needs to find thier way to the theater to see this piece of awesomeness.

9/10

mother f!

Though the plot was little bit interesting but they wasted it.

see, i thought the 1st one was watered down pg kiddie horror - that failed to deliver.


the second one was awsome... the freeway scene alone was one of the best things i've seen in a horror flick ..

easily the best of the 3 as far as i'm concerned..

it helps that i've had a pretty intense exposure to Tae Kwon Do in the last 6 months ...


the film is about a Tae Kwon Do instructor who starts losing his mind when his wife cheats on him .. funny as hell.

I was suprised at how much I dug that one myself. My girlfriend at the time hired it and it looked pretty weak like one of those countless gothteen flicks at the time but it ended up turning into a pretty fuckin' cool flick. I've got The Woods but haven't given it a spin yet. His Masters Of Horror episode is worth checking out to if you haven't already.
