Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[urgeok2]

- tango and cash ... still a shitty movie
- Rocky Balboa - not bad - but very redundant
- g.i. joe ... liked it far more than i thought i would. the pace is kept so crazy fast that you dont have time to realize how mindless it is until after it ends. there were some pretty fun action sequences and it was fairly well sewn together. first shine of hope since Deep Rising for this director.

I dig it. Especially for Jack Palance as the villian... the prison segment is classic too. Lethal Weapon 2 kinda stole its thunder when it came out.

I'm a pretty big Sly fan and a sucker for older action flicks. I got a copy of Night Of The Juggler I'll have to flip your way. Takes me ages to send shit overseas but I'll sort it one day :)

'A Haunting in Connecticut'

Better than expected ghost story. Based loosely on true events. I enjoyed it.


"Friday The 13th" (2009)

Exactly as expected. I got a few laughs out of it, but nothing more.


"The Fog" (1980)

One of my favorite John Carpenter films.

"The Fog" (2005)

I don't know why everyone hated this remake. It's not that bad. Not as good as the original, but as far as remakes go, it was all right

Runaway Train

This was awesome. Jon Voight is badass! Cheers for the reminding me about this one ____V____ I enjoyed it a lot.

The best thing about that flick is that it still holds up pretty wonderfully even after all these years.
The script, cinematography, sequences and atmosphere are still amazing.
And yep, Voight and Roberts kick ass.

The Psychic aka Seven Notes in Black (1977)

http://shopping.yahoo.com/video/images/muze/dvd/sm/49/1294449.jpg

A perfectly well crafted murder mystery from Italian gore maestro which hardly qualifies as a Giallo. But that doesn’t matter at all. Yeah..may be the body count was extremely low and the gore was mostly absent but Fulci in his own style manages to build and hold the tension and suspense brilliantly throughout the movie. A must see for Fulci fans.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

It's about a small town, Endora, where nothing ever happens with going nowhere people. A simple town where people find excitements when a mentally challenged boy climbs the town water tower or at the arrival of 'Burger Burn' into their locality. And in this town the twenty-year-old Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp), takes us on a journey through his everyday life with his fatherless family. Gilbert tries to do good for everyone but doesn't know quite what he wants for himself actually. He’s sensitive and lovingly protective for his mentally challenged younger brother Arnie, less understanding of the plight of his grossly overweight mother. The film nicely blends with comedy, drama, love and everyday emotion, perfected with beautiful cinematography and superb directing; nonetheless with a brilliant cast. The performances of Johnny Depp, Darlene Cates and Juliette Lewis are unparalleled and truly wonderful. The biggest surprise was DiCaprio as Arnie, the performance that makes this film a must see. Moreover, it was nice to have some little comic relief from the city coroner Bobby (Crispin Glover) and the local handyman (John C. Reilly).

Perhaps it’s not a ground breaking or too spectacular film with an extraordinary storyline. But surely is a very beautiful and touching movie that will always have a special place in my heart.

Palance is the one thing i like about this movie ..

everything else is rediculously lazy, slippy and cliched.
i understand the appeal this would have as 'camp' but its been done a lot better.

I love Russell.. he's one of my favorite actors - but all i felt was embarrasement for him.

and brion james in that fucking horrible accent...

and Michael J. Pollard in his pattented 'retard' roll..

and james hong, and ... fuck it - everyone should have been embarrased to be in this mess ... just too childish for me ..

At the Earth's Core (1976)--A classic among the "so bad it's good" movies. All it needed was Caroline Munro doing a slave girl dance. And boobs--unfortunately it was PG.

Lizard in a Woman's Skin (1971)

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9743/lizardinwomanskin.jpg

There's no faceless or black-gloved maniac on the loose, so the body count is absurdly low compared to other 'typical' giallo. But it’s a fantastic stylish Giallo from Fulci. The vivid colors, a chase through the catacombs of a church, a lounge soundtrack, bat attack, tits, lesbian love, madness…all masterfully worked in this bit complicated but fascinating plot. The film also takes its time establishing the outline of its central puzzle and where the various characters fit into it. Fortunately that puzzle happens to be a good, engaging mystery. Despite a relatively small pool of suspects, one's guesses as to whodunit will have to be reevaluated with each new twist in the plot. Fulci fabricated the whole thing by employing a host of stunning visual techniques.
There's one disturbing scene, in which Caron (the lead) somehow stumbles across a lab in a hospital, with eviscerated but still-living dogs hanging over buckets. Fulci made it eerily realistic.

I thought Azumi was cool...didja like it?
Felt like a manga.
Have yet to see #2, but I'll probably buy both in a double pack.

I just saw Scarface for the first time.
I had a friend who insisted I see it, literally getting on my ass with a "how could you not have seen this by now?!?" so since I just borrowed the game from him too, I figured I'd give it a look.
In all honesty considering how many people have talked this movie up, I just didn't think it was that great...it was ok, it was watchable, but nothing outstanding whatsoever in my opinion, I could probably do without ever seeing this one again.

I get why my friend liked it, or at least I suspect I do...first having seen a film like that at about the age of 13 would have you convinced it was pretty hot shit on account of the swearing and violence, maybe?

For me, it just seemed generic. The characters were just unlikable to me.
It was not "bad" by any stretch, just not the classic I've heard it made out to be...especially considering the other works of the writer and director.

[Elvis_Christ]

I think Scarface grows on you with a few viewings. I saw it for the first time when I was about 13 and have gorwn to appreciate it more over the years. A few scenes really stand out but it is long winded. Along with Mean Streets it really set the pace for modern crime/gangster flicks. What's the game like?

I'll admit...this was not what I was expecting at all. But once I got used to the undeniably unique sense of humor, I thought it was fantastic. A great mix of subtlety and in-your-face comedy, with an amazing cast - made even more impressive by the fact that most of it was improvised. That's talent.

The Dirty Dozen (1967)

Not usually too fond of WWII movies, but this is just flat-out badass. The characters, portrayed by one of the best ensemble casts ever put together, are really what makes the film - lots of laughs throughout, and lots of tension near the end make it an undeniable classic. Great, great movie.

District 9- Believe the hype. Great, intelligent film that encompasses horror, social commentary, sci-fi, action and drama. Wonderful lead performance and stunning effects work from Weta. The first film I've seen all summer that I didn't want to end and would have gladly sat through 2 more hours to see more of the story. I really hope a sequel is made. The orgy of destruction that climaxes the film must be seen to be believed.

[roshiq]

Pickpocket (1959)

http://shopping.yahoo.com/video/images/muze/dvd/sm/47/252047.jpg

The camera captures pictorial beauty of an abstract world through in depth observation of hands, faces, and objects and where natural sounds rather than music supports to create the atmosphere. And thereby Bresson portrayed a passion of crime not with human psychology but with the capacity of the soul to survive in a world of pain, disbelieve, and restriction.
The amazing railway station sequence, with its extraordinary display of tricks of the trade that seem more magic act than crime and the stylized nature of the sound that always keeps Michel (the protagonist) kind of detached from the world around him are much more thrilling displays of technique. The art of the crime glorified by excellent camera-works and editing, which is nothing less than sheer mastery, you can say a ballet of thievery.
Throughout the film sometimes the acting of the cast, mainly the lead was somewhat flat and expressionless. But there was a deep coldness in this style of performance which makes it surprisingly and ironically acceptable and fits well in the movie.

The Mutations (aka The Freakmaker) 1974--This is what bad drive-in horror movies from the 70's is all about. Awesome.

The Great Buck Howard (2009)

Stuck in an awkward level between family film and dry adult comedy, McGinly's film is almost not worth the trip; John Malkovich, however, shines with what he is given and almost develops a worthwhile character in Buck Howard. His presence is enough to lift otherwise dull scenarios into often witty moments, and with a genetically charming Colin Hanks at his side he finds quiet scenes of grace. The humor is hit or miss, though, and the ratio is about one to twenty. There are echoes of a project that could have been something hysterical, but the attempt here falls flat.

Bicycle Thieves (1948)

Probably the most potent example of neoreolism I've ever seen, and an exquisitely delicate motion picture anyway. De Sica was an emotional genious, and neither brutal tragedy or blissful optimism escaped his career lasso. Surprisingly, this- his most popular film- is heartwrenchingly pessimistic. So why have generations of audiences been so captivated by this tender tale of poverty and rotten luck? Because people like the truth, and the simplistic realism of this story is honest and naked. Here is a piece of art that asks to be given a fair trial, to be seen and thought over and maybe even dissected as an example of the cold quietness of human suffering. Antonio Ricci is a reflection of man at his weakest moment, and his character almost transcends moral judgement, or at least after his sad story is told. Whether or not what he does is right or wrong, his shame for having been placed in such a dilemma seems a lifetime punishment, and the hurt he feels is captured unflinchingly by Vittorio De Sica.

Playtime (1967)

Unconventional and indescribable, Tati's 1967 take on the humor of modernism is unique and totally immersive. There's a rhythm to the film, and one either has the option of dancing along with it or sitting back and laughing at those who do; I partook in a little of both and found myself in a defying state of mind for a cool two hours. Though the film mostly follows a comic tone, there is a nightmarish hue to the events which make them sometimes hectic, sometimes distressing, and sometimes downright maddening. The world Monsieur Hulot inhabits is one of ever-growing alienation, where friends communicate only in uncomfortable public encounters and strangers dance methodically with one another between fits of business and pleasure. Many films have tried to paint a picture like this, but none have done so with such rich visual ingenuity; like a different kind of space odyssey, Tati's world drifts, floats, buzzes and jives with an almost documentary naturalism, and each inch of his enormous canvas is meticulously calculated so that multiple viewings might offer an entirely different experience. Brilliant and singular.

An absolute brilliant gem.
It has minor flaws (***SPOILER*** the POV shaky-cam beginning and end was slightly nauseating, plus some effects looked cheap like the ghosting outlines of the aliens) otherwise its conceptually wonderful, and executed damn-near flawlessly. Blomkamp is a shining new example of prodigial potential...it remains to be seen if he does justice to his own abilities in his career now.
I would love them to turn this into a franchise, if they can. If the execution will be anywhere near this original, I ll be pumped in anticipation.

Halloween 2 (1981)

A brand new 35mm print (struck from the master for this event) played this weekend at the New Beverly Cinema, my favorite place on earth. The film looked amazing and I hadn't seen it in at least a decade. The screening sold out and at least a hundred people were turned away at the door (I got in for free because I know the guys running the screening). It was an awesome night.

I still feel the same way about the film. Although it ends perfectly, the film is a boring, suspense-free re-hash of the original with less likable characters, an annoying take on the score and weak direction.

A creation from comic book writer Ed Brubaker, starting as a web series, this is a 70's Grindhouse style B-flick with stunt artist Zoe Bell (Death Proof) on the lead who delivered some nice fight scenes. Pretty straight up simple revenge flick, worth a rental.

You're talking about the US ones right?
I saw a trailer for a first, and thought it actually looked pretty decent.
Though right now it sits in the dvd bargain bin, selling last seen at $6.99AU. Dunno how it compares exactly but it's about as cheap as they come here.
Might pick it up.
I remember I also saw the sequel in there with it.
Then, I saw that there was a #3 out (currently full price for all of what I'm sure will be a week), seems pretty quick to drum out two sequels yet.

I last watched Moonstruck, a half our or so a night 'til it was done. Never liked this as a kid, it's very much the chick flick, but getting a bit older now...while it's not on my list of things to see again soon, it wasn't actually too bad, and for a predominately romancey type deal it was actually pretty funny too.

[The_Return]

The Thin Man (1934)

Pure, unadulterated entertainment. A nice little mystery featuring the original husband and wife detectives, Nick and Nora Charles. Powell and Loy have wonderful chemistry together - with a lesser pair, this could have been just another forgettable "B" mystery. But with Powell and Loy's snappy banter lighting up the screen under the slick and tight direction of W.S. Van Dyke, it has to be one of the most entertaining mysteries of the 1930's.

District 9 (2009)

It's not too often these days that a huge-budget sci-fi flick can deliver not only on big entertainment, but also give you something to think about - District 9 succeeds on both counts. Though it wears it's allegory on it's sleeve and might be a bit heavy-handed in its message at first, it creates an all-to-believable world of "What If?" - as much as we would like to think we're be more civilized, the reaction to First Contact in the movie is almost disturbingly realistic. But outside of the social commentary, it gives us a glimpse of a fantastic mythology by leaving out many details but showing enough of the "Prawns" to leave the viewer with a million questions to ponder after the end of the film.

A great theatre experience - don't wait for DVD on this one. A smart, exciting sci-fi epic: I share _V_'s sentiment in hoping this becomes a franchise. They certainly left it open, and I feel like the world created here has many more stories to tell and secrets to reveal.

Five Easy Pieces (1970)

Jack Nicholson's first mainstream leading role, but you can already see the hallmarks of his persona - one of his more subdued performances, and without a doubt one of his best. A character study of a high-society dropout, the film focuses primarily on the Nicholson's returning home to visit his dying father. A powerful and emotional film about finding one's identity, with one of the greatest endings of all time.

You're talking about the US ones right?
I saw a trailer for a first, and thought it actually looked pretty decent.
Though right now it sits in the dvd bargain bin, selling last seen at $6.99AU. Dunno how it compares exactly but it's about as cheap as they come here.
Might pick it up.
I remember I also saw the sequel in there with it.
Then, I saw that there was a #3 out (currently full price for all of what I'm sure will be a week), seems pretty quick to drum out two sequels yet.
.


yeah the american version.

it wasnt that bad at all ..

but the sequel (i have both but only watched #2) was cheap rushed low budget junk.


they tried something different - but it didnt work.

The Strangers

A slow film, with quite annoying protagonists. Really, I felt nothing for these characters and couldn't care less if they died. Good premise but execution was...average. Like I said, it was slow and quite repetitive but I didn't feel that it was awful. I've seen worse. The ending was quite good, I liked the sickness of it. They obviously tried to something like Psyco where you don't really clearly see the knife go in, but you almost imagine you do. Obviously it wasn't as good as Psyco but it wasn't bad.

5/10

Watchmen

Very good film. I liked how close it was to the comic. Some people said it was too close and that the characters felt static and the scenes didn't "breathe". Whatever :rolleyes: The effects worked well and it was nice and brutal. Just how it should be. I also thought the changes that were made, i.e. Nite Owl II's costume an the removal of the giant squid alien were better suited to the big screen adaptation. It was slow in places and between about 45mins-1hr30 I was really watching the clock, but nonetheless, it was a good experience. I'm glad I read the comic first, made it a bit easier for me to understand things.

Gake no ue no Ponyo (Ponyo) (2009)

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-C_ejcKBFWo/Sfvtdc9uEEI/AAAAAAAAHS4/GDhAMGOyzVY/s400/PONYO.jpg

Well, once again Miyazaki has proven to me that he is a master of storytelling (and not to mention animation). Far from the broad, complex, and sometimes grotesque films he's made in the past, Ponyo is one thing above all: simple. Even in its animation style, Miyazaki has reduced significantly not only the color palate, but the finer artistic detail of his other work. But that is not to say it's not still gorgeous, because it is, but with his focus so honed in on the two main characters, it's appropriate. What's even better is that he uses the narrative itself to focus in on the two main characters. There's a quote towards the beginning of the film; Sosuke's (the main boy) mother says to him regarding dinner, "Let's eat dessert first, and work backwards. It's been a backwards sort of day." And that's how I feel about the film. The first act holds all of the action and theatrics, but progressively Miyazaki strips away all the excess around Sosuke and Ponyo, leaving only their relationship and the love between them to witness. There's plenty of back-story hinted at regarding a few of the more important characters, but Miyazaki wisely leaves it at that; mere hints. It's not a their story. It's about Sosuke and Ponyo. And it's a wonderful way to tell a story, especially one so delicate and sincere.

Highly recommended for pretty much anyone. Especially if you've never seen a Miyazaki film on the big screen, because it is a singular, dazzling experience.

Inglourious Basterds

I had heard a few early critiques on this movie, all consisting of how it isn't your typical Tarantino movie with flash backs and non-linear story telling. Yes, the movie was in chronological order but that didn't detract from this being a Tarantino film. Everything was laid out in chapters which I think added to the whole b-movie thing. A lot of really funny scenes with hilarious acting by Brad Pitt and BJ Novak. Eli Roth did a great job as 'the bear jew', and made me think that maybe with the movies he has directed, and his performance as a ruthless killer with a baseball bat he wasn't acting at all.

Great plot, well acted, lot of fun. Go see it.....At. The. Theatre.......Seriously. Drive in eve,n.

I think Eli Roth is a much better actor than writer/director. Still, I'd like to see at least one of his scenes filmed with Adam Sandler playing the role as Tarantino had originally intended.

I didn't expect Samuel L. Jackson and Harvey Keitel to lend their voices to the movie. I was pleasantly surprised at that. :)

Inglorious Basterds (2009)

Fortunately, Tarantino's newest film is about so much more than what its marketing might suggest. In fact, the "basterds" play only a small part in this beautiful orchestration; the original working title- 'Once Upon a Time in Nazi-occupied France'- suits it much better. It's less about any specific characters (no, Brad Pitt is NOT the show stealer here) and more about the character of mass disorganization and widespread wartime chaos. Comparatively, this is a huge canvas for this director; considering his films usually contain themselves in one compact setting, and sometimes even one room, World War II is quite the undertaking. Thankfully he does it uniquely and makes the subject matter his own- though not obnoxiously so. Since his last project, the borderline self-parody that was 'Death Proof', he has gotten his dialogue back under control and I daresay he's even bettered it. It does help to have such a magnificent cast reciting it, and if the Academy is worth a damn Christoph Waltz and Diane Kruger will recieve Oscar nominations when the time comes. Perhaps best of all are the gloriously executed references and nostalgic nods to the cinema of the past, from Chaplin to De Palma, 'King Kong' to his own 'Pulp Fiction'; these are in-jokes, but they aren't pompous; unstead they, like the film itself, are a loving melting pot of all that is great about film.

Well, lets add another one to the pile:

Inglorious Basterds (2009)

There's no way I'm going to top Alky's review, so I'm not even going to try. I'll be more concise: I fucking loved it. Easily one of Tarantino's best, and Christoph Waltz gives a brilliant performance. The entire cast is great to be sure, but it's Waltz that really steals the show - can't take your eyes off him for a second, incredible work.

Doesn't happen often that I'm tempted to stand up and applaud in the cinema...this is an exception. Great fucking movie.

Nighthawks (1981)

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh11/RubberSoul28/Nighthawks_movie.jpg

Great little action/thriller from the 80's. Sly Stallone and Rutger Hauer both put up fantastic pefrormances. Hauer is capable of being one of the screen's best villains and I think Stallone is capable of being one of the screen's best heros, so it's especially awesome to see them playing off of each other, especially towards the last half of the film.

Nothing short of brilliant.

It's been mentioned a few times, and I have to definitely agree that Christoph Waltz is an absolute genius. He and Tarantino create one of the more horrifying and chilling villains that I have ever seen on screen. Cunning, brilliant, and just chilling. His acting job is complimented in full by an incredible job by Brad Pitt, who seems to outdo himself every time I see him.

Tarantino knows how to weave music, direction, acting, and writing into a horrifying breath-taking tapestry. I HIGHLY recommend this film. Best one I've seen this year. I actually applauded at the end of the film (a few people in the theater did, actually), and I can't remember the last time I've done that.

5/5.

[REC] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1038988/)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/rec-2.jpg


Prior to watching [REC], I had seen its American counterpart, Quarantine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1082868/) in the theater, which I thought was utterly horrifying and brilliantly done. Because I had enjoyed the remake so much, I was really anticipating the original, especially because of the praise that it has gotten. However, I think that seeing the remake first might have taken a bit away from watching [REC], unfortunately; the remake was so faithful to the original to the point where the scares were predictable for me (not to say that they weren't good; I think that I would have enjoyed them more had I not seen the remake first). That being said, [REC] was quite good, but I have to say in all honesty that the liberties that were taken in the remake (slight change on the ending, for example), makes the remake a slightly better movie. Don't get me wrong, [REC] was quite good, but I think that Quarantine did it better for me.

Oh, and I have to mention that I was REALLY disappointed that our heroine is equally as obnoxious in the original as she is in the remake.

4/5.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Well, I won't write much on this one considering so much has been said already.
Sure, the movie's a blast; it's brash and arrogant; it's wildly creative, but what I think I enjoyed most about it is Tarantino's (finally) full commitment to doing whatever he wants. Because he's good at it; his mind takes stories into bold, surprising places. The film seems a series of strange catharses for the director and audience. With Inglourious Basterds, I feel like he's making (whether purposefully or inadvertently) a point on the power of cinema. Cinema can mold (and remold) history. And with this, in this case making a caricature of something as sacred as World War II history, perhaps it is to say "Let's not take ourselves too seriously." It's the kind of ethos Dušan Makavejev worked with, and it's a refreshing one.

Also I'll reiterate how wonderful the performances are (yes, especially Christoph Waltz). Also, I'll admit to a serious crush on Mélanie Laurent:

Killing of a Chinese Bookie, Original Release (1976). Obtrusive, awkward, artistic, brilliant. Cosmo, played by Ben Gazzara, really does an effective job portraying a man that is truly "comfortable" with himself. The pretense of his character actually becomes him. Somehow, the camerawork at times seemed almost amateurish and the sound cheap and clunky, but this just added to the overall texture and brilliance of the movie.

The Virgin Spring (1960). Bergman takes a 13th century ballad and weaves it into a compelling story of the transition of Sweden from paganism to Christianity. For its day, the brutality of this one must have really struck some nerves. Ashe.

District 9 (2009)

2.5/5

Admirable in its attempts to reinvigorate a genre in need of a boost but ultimately exhaustingly repetitive. Like 2007's 'Cloverfield', the film utilizes documentary style footage to inject realism into the story- and this actually works very well here. In fact, stylistically, this is an enormous success; the aliens are believable, the enormous hovering spacecraft is chilling, the slum scenes are almost always effective. Unfortunately, the narrative restrictively follows one man in his encounter with the alien people; his character unlikable and poorly-written, and I almost immediately grew weary of his selfishness and stupidity-especially come the last forty minutes of the film where it goes from intellectual hypotheticals to action movie eye-candy. There is a political message in all of this explosive CGI mumbo-jumbo, but we're beaten over the head with it so much that it becomes contrived. When the credits roll the films has over-stayed its welcome.

Scanners

Good film and a good concept. The chilling sound made whenever a scan was taking place added another dimension to it and the effects in the final fight whilst very fake were still quite gruesome and sick. It was less of a horror film and more of an action, which I wasn't expecting.

I didn't like it- my review's a page or two back if you want articulation.

Theoretically it was well concieved, and there's plenty of good ideas in it, but the central character is as dull and unlikable as they come- so after awhile I was numb to any of his pain.

Effects-wise it was phenomenal, but after awhile I was tired of brain-splatter-camera shots and a film which tried to attain all of its emotional height by close-ups of a man going "Oh fook. Oh fookin shit, man", "You're my fooking wife, man!", "What the fook?!", etc.

funny, but it wasnt the documentary approach to the film that achieved realism for me .. it was the man you hated so much.

i thought his character was completely believable. you dont have to like a character for a character to be real. i thought the guy was 100% dead on. there were clues given here and there that painted a much more detailed portrait of the man and his life.. Much more layered than you give credit for.

your criticism to me sounds like the movie isnt cinematic enough .. i can dig it if you dont like documentary style films ..

i dont mind them .. ikeep hearing people moaning about them all being alike ... (but nothing said about the 10,000 of other films all being shot alike in the non documentary style ?

the splatter was real .. these are what these weapons did ..

unless you want to go back to the days of the western where people got shot, bloodlessly held their chest and fell over ... then you might have to deal with realistic violence.



i cna honestly say that there wasnt a frame of this film that ddnt ring true to me with one exception ...

unless you want to go back to the days of the western where people got shot, bloodlessly held their chest and fell over ... then you might have to deal with realistic violence.

It wasn't the actual explosions, it was that fact that the brain matter had to splatter onto the camera lens. And one time was okay, but I grew tired of that gimmick.

[_____V_____]

Funny People - Could have been better. Had some genuinely funny moments but second half felt like a bit of an overkill. Is it just me, or Sandler doesnt tickle the funny bones anymore?

Inglourious Basterds - Kickass. Amazing how much versatility Tarantino has poured into this one, making it unique and different from the original on which this is based. Eli Roth was a real revelation (he should look to act more). I d say its 2009's #2 so far, behind District 9.

The Fall (2006). i am sorta wavering on whether i really liked this one or not. Visually arresting and very well done, then near ending just seemed off in its execution, though the very ending was quite powerful. In a sense it almost fell flat just before it ended, which is ironic because that is the plight of the main character. Definitely worth a watch, and when all is said and done, and a little time has passed, i will probably really come to like it. Ashe.

I had this on my top 11 of 2008. Loved it.

I just watched:

Elite Squad

A City of God-style Brazilian favela cop story is brutal and fun and interesting with a solid ending, but a meandering pace and somewhat displeasing structure. Worth a rent if you dig tough-guy cop stories with subtitles.

7/10

[fuglystick]

A Perfect Getaway--Note to aspiring screenwriters--a twist is not a story, and therefore not a film. What a waste of time.

[MovieLover12]

The last horror film I saw was The Haunting in Connecticut. It wasn't all that bad, a little of the modern "shocks with CGI" that seem to be all to prevalent in todays horror films. 6/10.

[Posher778]

Rewatched Halloween (2007). I take back what I said about it being 'the worst remake.' I think when I first watched it I had just watched House of 1000 Corpses or something, which REALLY sucks. Decent flick, but hate the first hour. Too much on the 'psyche', not enough on the stabby. Might go see part 2 tomorrow if it isn't too crowded.

[ferretchucker]

Hannibal

I've always enjoyed the fact that there's more Hannibal in this film, as the name would suggest, as he's an interesting character. I somehow feel I would like him. But I fear the more I watch it the more things don't seem to work in the film. Just little things. Where did Lecter get the chloroform from after the pig incident? Surely they would have taken any he had on his persons from him. There were others. But it's still an enjoyable film with a good ending, although I would have prefered the original one. I also thought Julianna Moore was a good choice for Starling.

Knowing (2008). Great story with some absolutely incredible special effects. i swear the score was in a Korean flick, maybe from the Oldboy series? i did not like the ending only because of its implications.

***Spoiler Alert***
As a non-Christian the biblical imagery and references were rather annoying. i mean, the star people had angelic freaking wings, ephemeral as they were. At the very end, in the new "Garden of Eden," i could not help but to look for apples in that tree amongst the fileds of gold. In all honesty, had the ending catered to my own beliefs in such a strong fashion then i probably would have loved it, but it didn't. Just saying. Ashe.

I liked it quite a bit. I knew exactly what I was going into when I went. I thought the movie was great in terms of visuals. I was surprised at how big of a role Brad Dourif had and was quite pleased with it. It was a fucking brutal movie, of course, but Zombie does a better job at fleshing out his characters (save Loomis) from his original. I never bought Laurie's "tough girl" act, though I thought that helped the movie. Annie seems to have matured and is worried about her father's health, which I thought was a pretty good decision. Brackett stole the show for me though, best performance in the movie. And damn it, I just love seeing Michael Myers!

Enjoyed it and I will be buying the DVD and using it frequently. I love watching Zombie's movies when I'm drunk with friends. Haha.

[The_Return]

Currently at Festival of Fear - been spending most of my time checking out horror flicks in the "Screaming Rooms". Here's what I've caught so far:


My Name Is Bruce (2007)

Had rock bottom expectations for this - largely thanks to all the crap it gets around here - but I actually really enjoyed it. The plot was pretty ridiculous (of course) and the supporting cast was horrible...but Bruce made it all worthwhile. Even though he's just playing himself, it's got to be one of his most entertaining performances...hilarious.

Maybe it's just because my expectations were so low, or maybe it's just because I watched it in a room full of rabid Bruce Campbell fans, but for whatever reason I thought it was great fun.


Laid to Rest (2009)

Best slasher I've seen in years. In all honesty I'm pretty tired of the genre, but this was badass. The main thing that set it apart from the typical slasher was the main girl...she completely broke away from the traditional "survivor girl" formula, and her brain damage really made for a unique kind of character. On top of that, the kills were insane...usually I could care less about gore, but it's incredibly well done here - lots of the red stuff, and kills that I can bet you've never seen before; really original stuff and a super cool looking villain.

Highly recommended to all slasher fans, a must-see for sure.


Deadgirl (2008)

Well...definitely an original concept. It had some flaws in the script and some logic trouble in spots, but overall I was pretty impressed. Some fucked up shit in this one, but its a fresh idea and really well executed. I'd recommend this one as well...not as strongly as Laid to Rest, but it's worth a look for sure.

Poker Run (2008)

I'll be gentle on this one - the co-writer/producer was there introducing it, and said that we weren't watching the final edit. The film's only major issue was the pacing near the first; things took what seemed like forever to get started. Hopefully they fix that in the final cut, because once shit starts hitting the fan this is a pretty solid thriller. Doesn't really bring anything new to the table - two wannabe bikers go on a Poker Run with their wives, meet up with two guys who turn out to be all kinds of fucked up and kidnap the wives - but it turned out to be a pretty fucking brutal cat-and-mouse game. Nothing special really, but once it got going I was entertained for sure. I think some of you around here will like this one...not for everybody though.

That's it for now...going to check out at least one more tomorrow, maybe more depending on the schedule.

[alkytrio666]

Sin Nombre (2009)

Beauty wrapped in ugliness wrapped in beauty wrapped in ugliness. It's a film which substitutes the flashiness these types of movies usually have (Meirelles, Lund and Boyle, I'm looking at you) and replaces it with moments of reflection, both soft and heavy. The violence is teetering on unbearable but for as many torturous moments as there are there are just as many moments of warmth, stemming from believable relationships of friendship and love. The story is helped by tremendous acting; Edgar Flores and Paulina Gaitan are extraordinary and revealing- heartbreakingly real. Through its themes of extreme human suffering, director Cary Fukunaga's debut film is filled with incredible photography and endearing storytelling.

Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommended.

[Posher778]

Halloween 2


Wow. Rob Zombie might just be cool after all. That was fucking great! Not to mention Myers actually ANNIHILATING people with the knife for once. Constant stabs. The ending was a bit bizarre, but expected. It actually gave me a bit of a 'Dark Knight' feel. One scene comes to mind.

District B13.
Pretty videogame-ish plot (hell, it was probably unintentionally more like double dragon than the actual DD movie was), but it was likable, had a cool soundtrack, simple yet not "empty" characters, an interesting take on the near future, and of course, some crazy-ass stunts and fights.

So thanks, whoever mentioned it a few pages back.

Parasomnia (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0922547/) (2008)

Laura Baxter is a young woman, literally a "sleeping beauty," who suffers from a medical condition called "parasomnia." A childhood accident victim, she is actually sleeping her life away, awakening briefly on rare occasions. Art student Danny Sloan falls in love with her, unaware that her hospital neighbor, a terrifying mass murderer and mesmerist named Byron Volpe has other, more sinister plans. Sloan helps Laura escape from her hospital prison only to discover that Volpe is about to enter her dreams.

An unusual and interesting horror-thriller from director William Malone. Kinda look like a Masters of Horror film and little flawed but overall a pretty fun entertainer with a nice weirdly surreal plot and a decent cast which includes Jeffery Combs as Detective Garrett in a supporting role.

One of the very best exploitation features. A favorite.

[SamCostello]

In Cold Blood – The 1962 version, Robert Blake’s debut feature. Not a bad movie, but fairly slow and certainly dedicated to recreating everything about the crime and its aftermath. Not the best presentation of this story I’ve encountered.

The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford – Another somewhat slow one, but Brad Pitt’s Jesse James is pleasingly nuts and Casey Affleck’s Robert Ford is terrific. An interesting presentation of a good story.

Meet Dave

There's a reason I despise the self indulgent, over the top pompous acting of Eddie Murphy...I think I just summed it up. This film however, seemed to be the perfect role for him. He could act like an idiot and yet it didn't feel quite as annoying. The story itself was lacking and the script was severely simple, with characters just stating things so bluntly they might as well have turned to the viewer and addressed us directly. I was also disappointed with the acting of Elizabeth Banks, which I'm usually quite satisfied with. This movie was a terrible film, however I can see how it could be entertaining for it's target audience. However, I'm afraid I don't fall for it.

He was alright until like Robin Williams went the way of "family comedy", I hope to one day again see a more adult title out of either of them.
Too bad about Williams too, it seemed like he was getting into some really good stuff (insomnia, one hour photo, the final cut) but since then, it's all gone for me.

Definitely a solid little monster movie. I liked how it had more going for it than your typical monster flick, and I like how they used the background of the 1870s to tell this tale very well. The acting was fantastic and the direction done well. It dragged a bit in the middle; I found myself getting bored at times, but overall it had some great scares and good gore scenes. Great little gem that's worth a watch. Thanks to all here who recommended this one.

3/5.

Atonement (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783233/)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/atonement_poster.jpg


Absolutely stunning with incredible performances from Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, and the young Saoirse Ronan. I was particularly engaged in the first 1/3 of the film, which builds the atmosphere, relationships, and background to the lie that will entangle our characters through the latter 2/3. The sets and costumes are lush and beautiful and the heated passion between Knightley and McAvoy is so thick you can feel it... The music is interesting and intriguing, though at some times a little too much, but I have to hand it to them for incorporating the typewriter into the score.

However, the latter 2/3 drags a bit once our star-crossed lovers are separated, though I have to admit that the movie very well captures the alienation, loneliness, and pointlessness of war (the war scenes are brilliantly sad and lost). I almost wish that I had read the book; I can see that this is a rather rich canvas to work with that I'm sure the movie only touched on the highlights.

Regardless of my boredom, I cried at the end, being the big sap that I am, so ultimately the movie creates two characters whom I honestly feel for.

It's definitely worth a look if you love period pieces, love stories, and drama... I ultimately enjoyed it and am glad I watched it.

Julie & Julia (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135503/)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/julie_and_julia_ver2_xlg.jpg


What a ridiculously delightful film!! I found myself laughing and sighing along with our main characters, more audibly than I usually do while watching movies. Not much of a surprise, but Meryl Streep is utterly brilliant as Julia Child, and Amy Adams is just utterly charming. It was fantastic to see the lives of these two women brought to screen and especially the food - THE FOOD!! I never knew that Julia Child lead such an interesting life (and was so incredibly in love with her husband - what an amazing relationship)... This movie is sweet, well-acted, well-directed, funny, charming, and as I've said, utterly delightful. It's the kind of film that I want to own and watch on days when I'm blue. I highly recommend it.

Adventureland

Whiney virgin takes a bad job. Big fucking deal. Everyone in the film is a loser, which makes for a couple of entertaining moments, but all the pathos in this film comes from the soundtrack.

The lead supposedly just graduated college, but he acts like he just graduated high school. Feels like a rewrite that never got fully adjusted.

There isn't one descent example of manhood in the whole film. Watching this one with my son I found myself repeatedly telling him "don't ever be this guy." Don't be the self-doubting pussy who can't seal the deal. Don't be the married guy who cheats with young girls. Don't be the asshole who punches people in the balls for no reason.

Halloween II (2009)

An improvement over the last one for sure, but still nothing overly special. I really liked the more surreal aspects - the scenes with Sheri Moon Zombie as Micheal's mother were easily the best moments of the film - but otherwise it's just your typical slasher. It's ultra-violent like you'd expect from Zombie, but unlike the violence in something like Devil's Rejects, this just seems pointless most of the time. None of the kills have any tension or inventiveness...it's just a big motherfucker crashing through walls and stabbing people a shitload of times. Sure, it's brutal and gory, but it gets old pretty quick. Not to mention Zombie's awful dialogue...

Still, it has some decent moments here and there. Nothing I'd recommend, but if you liked the first one you'll like this too.

Inglorious Basterds... in the theater... again... And just as good. Good GOD Christoph Waltz is an amazing villain. Still highly recommend this one. The audience applauded in the end.

5/5.

Yeah, same thing happened both times I saw it, too. The first time I saw it on opening night. The theatre was packed and the applause was quite loud afterward.

The Elephant Man (1980)

A total heart-wrenching real life story of an Englishman named John (/Joseph) Merrick who become known as The ELEPHANT MAN because of his deformed physical appearance. Lynch masterfully put us on a heavy emotional journey that takes us get inside the man and his tortured existence. An uniquely unforgettable masterpiece that makes us truly sorry but doesn't actually care for our blind pity.The film asks for our respect, not cry for Merrick. But eventually it's very hard to resist ourselves from doing that. One of the greatest lines comes when Merrick's fellow "freaks" in the circus help him escape and said "Good luck, my friend. And who needs it more than us?" A must see for everyone to know & see the deformed face of 'humanity' in this cruel ugly world.

Totally agree. At first I had thought it would be a cheap Exorcist rip-off but there are themes which make it very different. One of the VERY FEW movies in which incest takes centre-stage right in the middle of a flick.

(Come to think of it, I cant think of many other US flicks, more so US horror movies, in which incest plays such a dominant role)

And its all complimented quite nicely by the shocker of an ending. I was slightly disappointed by the anti-climactic ending of the original flick earlier, but this fits the bill of a companion piece quite perfectly. Nice overlooked flick.

V and EC, I totally agree. I've always thought Amityville 2 was an absorbing and intruiging sequel, and I would even consider ranking it above the original.

I had that feeling too...probably that Shocker was more or less the same thing with electricity in place of voodoo or whatever was in Fallen.
Didn't like Fallen that much though, not sure why. It was ok I guess.

Ah. That's why. Maybe it wasn't all that dope i smoked. Grazi.

Yep it is definitely a notch above, considering the very anti-climatic ending of the original.

Totally.
But then I am a huge fan of the FD concept so my opinion might be a bit biased.
Still I d recommend it.
