Perfume: The Story of a Murderer ~ not what I was expecting, but I actually really liked it. I would love to read the book.
'Salem's Lot (2004) ~ started out okay, then was almost good at times..... then got really, really weak. Too bad, I liked some of the cast.
The Ferryman ~ just okay, nothing special.
and also....
Fright Night

Dressed to Kill – Brian de Palma doing a kind of giallo. Not a great movie, really, but I wonder if any of his 70s movies seem very good anymore (maybe Carrie?).

A friend of mine suggested me to watch a horror movie named “Evil Dead Part-3”. Then I bought this movie from the market. This is also my last seen horror movie. I am very much scared while watching this movie. I hope many people are familiar with this name.

This was good fun even tho it loses its way towards the end. Clancy Brown always plays the part of a real prick extremely well (life reflecting art perhaps?). Great soundtrack to I liked the creepy rockabilly score and the L7 and Ramones tunes.

There is no reason to watch this movie. There is not a single original shot, line of dialogue or situation in the entire film. The special effects are lame. Acting is lackluster.
It's just a mediocre waste of time.

I also saw House of 1000 corpses. It was original and kept me watching it until the end. Good amount of gore too. 6.5/10
Saw Step Brother with Will Ferrell. Funny as hell. Not intellectually stimulating to say the least but some of the lines they come up with are pure gold! 6.5/10

Quarantine (2008)
I went to the theater today with my friend Kat to see this. I didn't realize, she didn't really want to see it. It was just a way to get me out of the house.
Anyway, the way to really sum this one up, would be to say it's a cross between; I Drink Your Blood (1970), The Blair Witch Project (1999) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). Very entertaining, and very intense. You don't really expect to see the things you do.
Luckily, the movie trailers didn't show a whole lot of it.
The highlight though, was watching Kat scream and flinch. lol, She only saw about 30% of it. The rest of the time, she was covering her eyes. :D
It's worth a watch.

Quarantine - This was a good movie theater flick and I doubt I'll ever pick it up. It really reminded me of a haunted house. Lots of things popping out, flashing lights, and scream from the darkness. I think it worked as a Halloween movie, I'd suggest people see it before the 31st and in a dark theater.

Nope, I've done some searching and haven't run across it yet, I'll probably enjoy it but to be honest I'm really not sold on the whole homevideo thing (yes I know it was a professional camera in some of the movies). I liked Diary of the Dead and Cloverfield but thought Quarantine was just alright and really disliked Blair Witch. It will take something super special shot in that style to really get me to love it.

Cool, I hope so, I think Diary was the best shot in that style so far and that's only because of the way Romero made the characters utilize multiple cameras, security footage, etc. I understand that Quarantine is a remake but I've heard that it's almost shot for shot, have you seen both?

Tonight I watched -- the midnight meat train
All in all, I was impressed. Great story, good directing (I loved the camera work), and a nice refreshing feel to the slasher genre. I thought this movie had some nice classic qualities with a new age twist.
Few bad points. I didn't really like the protagonist very much; I just didn't believe him at times. Also, there was a little to much drama in the movie for me (got bored with a few scenes), but overall, the movie kept me entertained. The story was a little slow building up; however, sets up a spectacular ending.
overall rating 8/10

But they left Bangladesh & now happily living in Toronto, so I missed the chance but soon I'll recommend them to see this movie asap.

Postal, I think is his only tolerable film to date. It kind've resembles the plot to postal 2 if you ever played that, but it's not important, at least in this case, the game and universe was stupid, crazy shit to begin with - I think that's why it worked a little better.

Ella Enchanted- how cute.
This movie has been a unopened Christmas present for the girls for about 2 years.
I had no idea it was so adorable. I had no idea Cary Elwes was in it.
I had no idea they had special effects.
I had no idea Eric Idle was in it!
I guess I just thought any movie with Anne Hathaway was horrible.

I have an old song from the 40s by Kay Starr called The Headless Horseman in the mix. I haven't seen the Disney cartoon in forever so I can't remember the song, so I'm not sure if it's the same one or not.
Don't have the Moon-Rays.

Midnight meat train.
*spoiler ahead*
I have a few complaints about this one...the fact that it was pretty much "the night flyer" with the slightest twist, the lack of good dialogue, the (I'd rather see ketchup than this...) digital blood allover the place, and following the same "let's throw in a bleak ending" they seem to deliberately put in every single horror film these days...not to mention the second Jones coughs blood, at least one element of the ending is damn obvious from then on.
*spoiler done*
other than these few complaints...not bad...the atmosphere was good, the concept...kind've interesting...would probably make a great beer film.

-Glen Ford
A former gunfighter turned preacher rides into a small town just as a range war between cattleman and sheep herders starts to escalate.
Entertaining. above average "B" western. Good performances by Ford (as always) but the film is nothing new, Nothing great, but watchable.

Teddy Roosevelt, An American Lion – a three-hour History Channel documentary. An interesting film, full of good detail and insight and lots of appealing early movies. I felt like the way it glossed over Roosevelt’s imperialism was a bit of a weakness, but still a solid film.

after that, though. i definitely have to agree with "meh".

Death Race.
Not so much as a remake per se, its more like a re-take of the cult classic. My respect for Paul W S Anderson as a filmmaker went up by a wee bit, and I thought I caught Roger Corman's name under exec producing credits too. Its definitely recommended for anyone who doesnt mind a fast and mindless racy action flick, with ample doses of cheesy dialogue thrown in for good measure.
The effects are not limited to any budgetary restrictions either. Jason Statham is no Stallone or Carradine, but he does a competent job. My only gripe - Tyrese Gibson. For some reason the guy just annoys the heck outta me. Rest of the cast round off beautifully, with a nice little touch by Joan Allen. Pretty refreshing to catch a glimpse of Robin Shou too, after a long gap.
Is it great? Nope. Good? You can say so. I would definitely recommend it to Urge, Newb, Elvis, Return, Flayed and others who dont mind enjoying 90 minutes of cheesy, fast and fun-filled action stuff. If you are a serious movie critic though, stay the hell away from this one.
Elvis are you listening? This one's right up your alley, bro.

The Omen. I love this movie, although I have found I cant stop doing Gregory Peck impressions through the whole thing.
I also had an epiphany while watching it:
Why do studios go through the time and money to remake movies like this when they could save a bundle, and make a bundle, re-releasing them in theaters?
I would gladly shell out 8 bucks to get to see classics like Aliens and the Exorcist on a big screen.
Granted, it was over a decade ago, but I did it when the Star Wars movies were re-released, and I bet enough people would go to make it a profitable venture. Its got to be a better business model then spending 30 million to remake a classic and barely recoup the money spent because after the first 2 weeks, word of mouth destroys any attraction the marketing has created.

i've explained this a million times ... follow closely ....
the vast majority of people who pay to see movies in the theatre are kids.
these kids dont want to see old people in movies - they just want to see other kids.
show The Omen in the theatres and you're going to get older (and cool younger) people who are die hard horror fans.
of the older people who do see movies - not very many go to horror movies - let alone horror movies you can watch on DVD in the privacy of their homes - where there is a pause button, a toilet and a fridge.
thats why the only time these movies get shown on the big screens are in rep theatres on special revival nights .. and they dont do great business.
sad .... but true

Anamorph
Anyone here that's familiar with my taste in movies knows that I love ambiguity. There is nothing better than a movie with a good mystery that still leaves you asking questions once it's over; that doesn't tell the audience everything and leaves elements up to the imagination.
That said, there is a difference between ambiguity and just confusing the living Jesus out of your audience. Leaving more questions than answers is great, but refusing to answer ANYTHING is just lazy writing.
Anamorph isn't an awful movie by any means. The set-up is great and the acting is very good (Dafoe never disappoints). But in it's attempt to be "edgy" and "mysterious", it manages to leave you wondering what the hell you just spent 107 minutes watching.
When you really think about it I guess there are some interesting theories to come up with, but the more that I think about this movie the more I think "Why should I care?"

Max Payne.
First off let me say, this movie was decent at the most. Hardcore Max Payne gamer fans will argue that the adaptation has a lot less action than the games, but then again this happens in most of the game-to-movie adaptations when directors concentrate on characters more. The first half has the smooth storyline and once the shooting starts, it gets slightly better.
Character-wise, Mark Wahlberg does a real competent job of being Max. However, it feels like he's pretty loose in Max's shoes. Someone like Mickey Rourke would have fit Max's character to a T, and that is very evident. Mila Kunis looks mis-cast as Mona Sax, but tries her best with the bit she's given (which includes speaking an ill-fitted Russian accent). The rest of the characters are nothing to boast about - Chris O'Donnell hams and huffs his way through, and Beau Bridges does his best in spoiling the climax. The girl who plays a bit role, Olga-something her name was, looks gorgeous however.
Atmosphere-wise, the first 15-20 minutes are the highlight of the entire movie. It starts off so well, and then sort of hits a Stuck-mode. Once the other characters start popping in, you can't help but notice something pretty vital to the entire experience is missing. You got it right - the movie lacks depth, or a better word for it would be, it lacks a soul.
Overall, it's a pretty average movie. John Moore had a great chance to make this one of the most killer kickass game-to-movie adaptations of all time, and this could have so easily been yet another Sin City, but all it gets to be in the end is just another bland and watered down version of Death Wish. Much like The Hitman's movie adaptation from earlier, Max Payne lacks punch.
If you are an avid Max lover, go check it out. If you didn't care much for the games, this is well worth skipping.

When you really think about it I guess there are some interesting theories to come up with, but the more that I think about this movie the more I think "Why should I care?"
Has anyone else around here seen this one? I'd kind of like to hear what other people thought, because it was so close to being a good movie.

I would never go so far as to recommend it, but I also wouldn't expressly advise anyone to stay away from it.
Please don't go out of your way, but if you have nothing better to do and can watch it free/cheap, by all means do so. About 75% of it is a VERY good film - only problem is that they left out the other 25% entirely.

They completely missed the charm of the original- the Northerners were so annoying and vacuous you rooted for the Southerners to do them in.
In this remake the Northerners were normal, average college kids. You don't hate them. So the dynamic is reversed- I didn't want the Southerners to kill them, which made the story very average. There were a few fun touches here and there, though- like a little girl pressing a rat to death in a cider press.

Its well acted, I think Liv Tyler did as good a job as she could have with her role. And there is some really good build up of suspense near the beginning. Then as some people have said, it starts to fall apart pretty quickly. But I do think it is worth a watch, just disappointing and a little frustrating.

I think I can manage a review.
Peter Fonda is actually dead in this movie, the producers just didn't care.
Plunge hot pokers deep into your eye sockets if you even glance at this accidently if it is playing near you, don't listen to the voices that tell you to buy this film even if they threaten certain doom. Always remember, watching this will be worse.
And if you do buy it(dumbass:rolleyes: ) and your child watches it, call 911 immediately.
Have exterminators come by for a emergency dusting of your house and have the HazMat people dispose of said video.
Unfortunately you will be carted to the nearest padded room and committed under law until time of death but your kids and cats will be fine after extensive shock therapy.

I can appreciate their attempts to sort of mimic the 70s/80s italian horror movie vibe (of course the movie is Italian itself, but it obviously takes more effort than that), but overall the movie was pretty stale and the characters annoying. It had a pretty nasty neck goiter popping scene, which was awesome and cringe-worthy, but other than that kind of a mess from start to finish.

I also didn't mind the Ang Lee Hulk - it's no masterpiece, but it's way better than it gets credit for. That said, this new version absolutely blows it out of the water. Ed Norton is perfect for Banner, and Tim Roth makes an awesome Blonsky (even though they do switch around some aspects of the character).
And if you thought Hulk's CGI was awesome before...prepared to be blown away.

They showed it at the Toronto After Dark film fest. I feel bad that I've forgotten his name but the producer was there for the showing and came out to the pub afterwards. He was part of Girl Next Door and he also has a couple of Jack Ketchum adaptations coming (including "The Offspring" which I now have a tshirt for lol)
I loved it, the kids were perfect (and actually brother and sister) which doesn't happen often. I don't watch TV at all but Pasdar was solid as well, likeable but not quite normal. I don't think you'll find it in time for Halloween but everybody else should track it down and give it a watch.

Saw V - I really liked this one, I agreed with my buddy when he said that it seems to be drifting more toward a gory crime drama and that's a good thing I think. If they're going to continue with more movies than the focus shifting more toward detective work will really fit the series. I also liked the fact that MOST of the traps were less sophisticated in V than previous movies.
*MINOR SPOILER*
Did anybody else think that, since V starts immediately after IV, there is a possibility that Hoffman has not even been to the autopsy of Jigsaw yet? Especially since in the beginning of IV he says that if he is hearing the tape he's probably the last one standing and that he won't walk away "undented". I'm kind of banking on the fact that the beginning of IV will be the beginning of VI as well but who knows.

After watching this movie, decided to look it up on IMDB...I have no idea why this movie gets so much hate! MST3K even had a show with it...
I thought this was a great fun little sci-fi flick. Sure it was cheesy, but what 50's monster movie isnt? I thought the monsters were really cool, the "human" villains were great (Who knew Alfred could be so evil?), and the overall concept was an awesome fantasy/sci-fi plot.
Sure, the actors are a little wooden, and the effects are a little shaky...who the hell cares? If you like 50's sci-fi, this is pretty near a must-see.
