The Cooler

Have decent Vegas casino flick with William Macy his usual solid self, Maria Bello beautiful and Alec Baldwin as expressionless as ever.


The Thomas Crown Affair

Easy on the eye and even easier on the brain. While Rene Russo's see through dress is certainly a highlight the chemistry between her and Pierce Brosnan helps carry this one along. A good remake.

Paranormal Activity (2009)

Well, I had originally planned to definitely not see this in theatres, but after all the surprising hype, I decided to anyway.
And so I kind of wish I hadn't.



Chrono already wrote up a good review in the Paranormal Activity thread, but what I'll say is that up until the end, the movie had me more or less sold. The acting was good. The pace was slow-burning, well-understated to accent its scares through negative space. I really enjoyed how the film even spent most of its time focusing on people rather than ghosts. It seemed to mainly document more-so the destruction of these two people's lives and relationship than the paranormal activity itself.
However, these pros were ultimately drowned in bullshit. I thought the boyfriend was one of the most one-dimensional, unlikable characters I've seen in any recent movie. And the ending! Ugh! What were they thinking?! For a movie that's supposed to play as verité, anchored in realism, why the hell would they have her attack the camera (viewer) at the end? This directly address the audience. What cheeseball Hollywood bullshit. I couldn't believe it. Plus her CGI demon-face was incredibly unconvincing.



So anyway, some good scares, genuinely creepy moments, and good acting make it worth one watch maybe, but wait for the DVD.

Battleship Potemkin (1925)

One of the very influential masterpieces in world cinema. The most noted sequence in the film, and perhaps in all of film history, is "The Odessa Steps". Hundreds of extras used to portrayed this shocking part and it was amazingly handled. The mother holding her dead child, the baby carriages sequence alone demonstrates both fine technical skill and a keen awareness of how to drive home an image to an audience. I guess it consider as one of cinema's best remembered sequences.

A stunning piece of celluloid arts.

6.5/10

[Despare]

Saw VI - They didn't try for too many extreme twists or out-gore their previous efforts but instead made a flick that moved the overall story forward (albeit a bit slowly through a few too many flashbacks). I'm surprised that Saw has reached number VI without becoming a terrible franchise and there's real consistency in the quality of the films (although the 1st still stands tall as the best). I enjoyed it and will be happy to go next year around Halloween.



Rocky Horror Picture Show - Just washed the V off... hell of a show. The Tickled Fancy Burlesque Co. was there and did a pre-show as well as a stage show during the film dressed as characters.

Return of the Living Dead 3.

Not a bad little diversion. Good effects and Kent McCord (whom I have not seen anywhere in a LONG time) lends an air of authority to his role. He did a fine job.

[psycho d]

The Abandoned (2006). A suprnatural horror flick with an amazing score and lots of disturbing imagery, but little more. Many people really seamed to have loved this one, and i could see why. My main disappointemnt was that this flick could have been so much more. First, we have rare a mid-forties lead actress in a horror film. There were so many ways that her character could have been developed, but instead she remains flat, leaving the viewer without any empathic ties. The story itself was also fresh. But instead of developing it with actual storytelling, this film falls back on disturbing imagery and again that wonderful score. While it is definitely worth a watch, so much more could have done to make this decent flick a great one. Ashe.

[psycho d]

Candyman (1992). Hard to believe that i had never seen this wonderful flick. While looking kinda cheesey, this flick deserves to be a cult classic. The story was solid, as was the acting. The direction made for a believably creepy movie, and the score had a disturbingly religious feel. All in all a great horror movie.

Dead Man (1995). One word-brilliant! There is so much to this movie that it would probably be best to see it a few times before making any comments on it. Unfortunately, i am not that intelligent. This is a dreamy movie centering on purgatory, good and evil, and the spiritual sterility of the west. While Johnny Depp and Gary Farmer are wonderful in their leading roles, there is not a bad act in this one, with the likes of Crispin Glover, Robert Mitchum, Iggy Pop, and many others filling in the gaps. The symbolism in the movie is layered like an onion, and the direction and story by Jim Jarmusch is perfect. Shot in black and white, with the occassional transition to sepia and the infrequently obtrusive closeup, this movie is absolutely beautiful. The score by Neil Young not only drives movie forward, but is seemlessly interwoven into the very fabic of the essence of this movie. The very beginning hints that this movie will be better than anticipated for all of those that expect more than just sex and violence from a movie, not that there is anything wrong with that. Ashe.

Ravenous (1999). This wickedly delicious little flick that was both comical and disturbing. The story itself was simple enough, pretty much an offshoot of the infamous Donner Party. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep it interesting. The acting was more than solid, and the quiver of personalities was delightful, though many of them were killed off before they could fully bloom. The score was fantastically incongruent with the movie content at times, which somehow worked with beautiful effect. The direction was solid, as was the camerawork. A must see if the overall theme is not too repugnant. Ashe.

"Werewolves: The Dark Survivors" (2009)

Made for cable TV movie. (showing on Animal Planet of all places)
Faux documentary (shot like a true crime show) about a cop and a zoologist investigating a murder and how it leads them into the shadowy world of modern day werewolves.

Surprisingly decent take on the werewolf legend. Tries to be realistic even with such a fantastic subject. I enjoyed it.

Halloween III - BAH, at least I didn't fall asleep this time.


Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (82') - While the acting in the movie is far superior the voices in the original are beautiful. I love Lansbury as Lovett, she always cracks me up. It's funny, the only person in the movie that is far and away better than their stage counterpart is Sacha Baron Cohen who puts on a show that's truly superior to the original. A lot of fun, it's neither better nor worse than the movie in my opinion and I think I'll be buying this one.

What an infuriating movie. Sets up a really interesting situation, keenly directed, expertly acted, and then in the last 20 minutes completely throws away everything it set up for a bunch of psychobabble.

[The_Return]

Every Little Step (2008)

Brilliant documentary about the trials and tribulations of young performers auditioning for the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line, while simultaneously delving into the fascinating story of how the show was originally conceived.

I know that I'm not the only one here with a passion for theatre - if anyone with a love for Broadway hasn't seen this one yet, treat yourself and do so immediately. I went in with high expectations and was not let down.

[psycho d]

The Alphabet Killer (2008). Decent enough psycho-thriller. It seemed better than it was because i figured it would be total crap. The acting was decent, the story fairly predictable. At least the very ending, which was lame in its own way, was not at least totally cookbook. Ashe.

A brilliant film. Aside from a short spell in the middle it was consistently funny, the acting was good and the character of Tallahasse was brilliant. Bill Murray had a very funny part. I found myself laughing at this just as much as I did with Shaun of the Dead, if not more. The rules were entertaining and the film never takes itself too seriously.

10/10

[scouse mac]

Gods and Generals


Fuck me this one just went on and on! I persevered though and dont wholly regret doing so. The rise and fall of legendary confederate Stonewall Jackson is a struggle at times, overly sentimental and waaaaaaaay too long but it is compensated by some solid acting and decent battle scenes.

If half the things in this film is accurate, its difficult to see Stonewall as a tactical genius when its clear every bugger else was a complete clueless wanker when it comes to battle tactics. Surely lining your men behind a wall is basic common sense as opposed to standing up in an open field firing one shot a minute. In the Kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is King.

Worth a watch but be sure to stock on supplies before settling in.

Calvaire (2004). Definitely not a movie for everyone, but a must see for those looking for horribly disturbing movies that are done well. Set in the countryside of Belgium, this shocker rates up there with Irreversible, if not beyond. The acting was solid, the story simple, and the direction great. The camerawork was awesome, with dizzying shots and dismally washed out color film. The harsh and foreboding landscapes only added to the dark nature of Calvaire. The ending is one that initially disappoints but then works its way back into your psyche like a persistent parasite of the mind. Loved it.

A Simple Plan (1998). Wonderful if somewhat dismal, this flick by Sam Raimi takes a rather simple idea and twists it up into ugly knots. Intrigue, greed and distrust disfigure typical stereotypes and bring out the evil in the four main characters. Billy Bob and Bill Paxton were superb, and the rest of the acting was without a flaw. The cinematography was literally chilling, and the direction was awesome. This dark tale literally uses film to separate the veritable dark nature out of man's divine self portrait.

It seems that yesterday was a day of frozen landscape flicks. Ashe.

Dee Snider's performance was actually decent, and Robert England's was up to par, but the cop and especially his partner's performances were poor at best. The story itself started out OK but wore thin at the midway point. The ending, which could have potentially resurrected this dying flick, fell flat. There were some sick scenes, but not enough to carry any movie, especially this one. Overall it was a disappointment. Ashe.

"Drag Me To Hell"

First let me say I love Sam Rami's movies. From "The Evil Dead" to "The Quick And The Dead" to "Spider-Man. now having said that, I have to say that "Drag Me To Hell" was not his best work. It started out okay, creepy and gory, but by the middle of the film it started to get a little on the silly side and by the end it was just lousy, and I 100% hated the ending. Not the worst movie ever made, but a disappointment.

Wrong Turn (2003). Pretty good overall backwoods horror flick. i only saw the R version so i may need to track down an UR disc. There were some pretty graphic scenes, a couple of which stand out nicely. Acting was decent enough, with visual pulchritude making up for any deficiencies. Some of the cinematography really helped to keep up the dread hopelessness in this decent enough little horror flick.

Spoorloos (1988). Absolutely wonderful. While not as outright scary as i thought it might be, this flick's power lies in the prosaic calculation of evil. A slow burner for sure, the intensity of the protagonist and the mundane deliberations and epiphanies of the antagonist make for a nice prelude of what is to come. The acting is superb, the direction flawless, then ending: perfect. The ostensible symbolism turns out to be apropos as well.

Don't forget that today and tomorrow are the Dias de los Muertos and ya'll should probably say a little hello to you ancestors...

Friday:
Return to Horror High- Hilariously bad highschool slasher movie (read lots of boobs and blood) with George Clooney for the first 5 or so minutes but they advertise as if it's Clooney's big starring role.
Slither- I'm Bill Pardy. Best extra ever. Youtube it. I would link it but youtube is down for maintenance right now.
Nightmare Before Christmas- We needed background noise during horror movie pictionary, but it ended in many sing alongs.
Evil Dead 2- Yep, it's still as good as when I watched it a week ago.

Saturday:
Eraserhead- I'm still processing this. We watched it a little too early in the night so it was interrupted by many trick or treaters. I left to give out candy, and I heard Derek scream really loud. Ran back thinking he was hurt but he was scared by something in the movie. I enjoyed this a lot though, and we watched an interview with Lynch that was on the dvd. What a strange guy (not that I'm surprised) but he explained in great detail how beautiful the fresh intestines of a dead cat were and I kinda fell in love.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake)- We watched this while there were still some older trick or treaters coming around, and one guy came to the door white as a ghost. He was like "have you seen those guys next door?" We were out in the middle of no where in the country, but according to this guy the next door neighbours grandkids were scaring trick or treaters with a chainsaw. We had no clue because of the chainsaws on tv. Anyway, didn't much like this remake. Too many scenes that were specifically devised to include Jessica Beil getting wet, cold, dirty, sweaty and all wearing a white tank top. Oi.

Even after watching it a second time, I can't get over the scene with *spoilers*



Annie in the bathroom, and the scenes that follow. That scene made me realize that while Zombie doesn't always have his act together in film, he can really tug at the emotions of fear and despair when he tries.

I don't like to spoil it or give you a single clue...just saying: 'A must see for any true sci-fi lover!' Find in many reviews where they compared it with classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner or Solaris. I'd say ignore this stupid comparisons...watch it with an open mind asap..you'll find a simple but very original and thought provoking beautiful sci-fi feature where Sam Rockwell delivered a fantastic one-man show! :cool:

[Dante'sInferno]

Well, I finally wanted to watch more of David Lynch's films. All I had seen before was the Elephant Man which I really loved. So I posted on my facebook, what movies to check out by him and, the majority said check out all of his films. I decided to watch Eraserhead. Holy shit. That was great. I've never been so creeped out. I like the way it was shot and how there was very little dialogue.
I felt really bad for the baby though. That scene made me tear up.


I'm going to start watching the rest of his work now. I think the next on my list will be Lost Highway.

[Disease]

Van Diemens Land

This is the story of 8 escaped convicts in Tasmania during the 1820's. I didn't know much about the story before watching it which is probably the best way to go into it. It's a brutal movie with a few scenes that make you squirm. Worth checking out but not the best film of it's type.

7/10

You're in for it. Lynch's world is wonderful, nightmarish, and exciting.

1000 Convicts... and a Woman! (the story of a nymphomaniac)

Hilarious BRITISH exploitation flick from 1971. Much tamer than it sounds. Still, worth checking out for a laugh.

Newb- you'd like it. It's on demand currently- under "Drama."

[psycho d]

From Within (2008). This little psychological thriller was actually a nice treat. The story itself was standard fare but well crafted and dark indeed. The acting was solid and worked well to make for some pretty ugly, self-righteous scenes driven by hatred. The camera-work kept things edgy. The scares were enough to keep one on edge, though it is not a flick for the gore hound and the like. The direction was adept as well. While the ending was a little predictable, the fact that it bravely followed through made up for this little shortcoming.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006). Absolutely genius and hilarious, this is the perfect slasher 101 flick. While that last act was not as enjoyable as the first two, it is out of necessity to the overall theme of the movie and it should in no way detract from the brilliance of this lovely horror flick.

Halloween 1,2 & 3 (Season of the Witch is prob my fav of the Halloween films)

Rogue

This was a surprisingly decent creature feature from the director of Wolf Creek. A tourist boat in the Australian outback travels into the territory of a giant crocodile and end up being trapped on a small island with the tide rising. Theres some good fx, well paced story and solid acting. Well worth checking out.


Red

Excellent film about a man who wants justice for the brutal murder of his aging companion, his dog Red, by a group of bad seed teens. Brian Cox is the lead and is absolutely fantastic, his character has had a life filled with tragedy and he displays this wonderfully. When his attempts to get the boys and their parents to face up to what they've done fails, he turns to other means. This is not a straight forward revenge flick but much more subtle and realistic, defo a must see in my book.

Up (2009)

The best of the best from Pixer. The first ten to fifteen minutes are easily the most emotionally impact portion of the entire film. Using little to no dialogue, the opening "montage" of this film tells the story of Carl and his wife Ellie, and the beautiful life that they share together. Carl is such a lovable character, that we feel for him from the very beginning. You feel the joy that he feels, and when his wife passes away, you feel his loss. By the end of the whole sequence, it turns into one of those rare celluloid moments that stays in heart forever.

A brilliant animated feature (top notch in every department) with a pure heart & soul that shares an adventure truly for all ages.

Certainly different, two stories running alonside one another, one set in London and the other set in a mysterious metropolis called Meanwhile City. It takes a long time for the stories to come together and it does drag its heels at times but its not a bad film all told. I had it pretty much figured out after half an hour or so (Im usually wrong about these things so was very pleased I got it correct this time!) but it had enough about it to keep me going to the end, especially the visuals of Meanwhile City which are great.

Dont go out your way to see this but it is worth a watch.

ZOMBIELAND.....fun movie....great cameo.

[psycho d]

I Stand Alone (1998). "The story of a man like so many others, as common as can be. It starts off in France, shithole of cheese and Nazi lovers." The opposite of a Mary Poppins flick, this bleak flick oozes abject despondancy mixed with hateful philosophic rationalization. Not a movie for everybody, but for those with a strong stomach and a penchant for art mixed with nihilism, this is a must see. Be prepared for some Prozac washed down with a whiskey afterwards. Ashe.

They never really cared about Carl Weathers. One of those around who you never noticed. I thought he was excellent in Predator and in the Rocky series. He was one actor who went under the radar. Too bad.

[The_Return]

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)

Totally DESTROYED my expectations. The books were my absolute favourites when I was younger, so even though this looked pretty lame I had to check it out anyway. Based on the trailers I wasn't expecting much at all, but as it turns out, I really had fun with it.

Stays surprisingly faithful to the books, essentially adapting the first and second, while mixing in some elements of the third as well. It's obviously condensed quite a bit, but they hit most of the major points and keep the atmosphere completely intact. John C. Reilly was a huge surprise as Crepsely - I hated the idea when I heard he was cast, but he actually did a lot of justice to the character; after seeing it, I couldn't imagine anyone else in the role. Casting was bang on all-around...all the "freaks" were awesome, Ray Stevenson was perfect as Murlaugh (though I do wish they had used more of Tunnels of Blood so he could have got more screentime), and even the younger cast were pretty impressive - specifically Josh Hutcherson as Steve, who managed some wonderfully menacing moments during the climax.

Of course there are elements that as a fan of the books, I could nitpick about. But on the whole it was a very faithful and HIGHLY entertaining adaption of one of my favourite modern vampire stories. Anyone who has read the books will not be disappointed, and if you can get past the fact that it's geared towards a younger audience most everyone should find something to enjoy.

Fingers crossed they stick to the plan and adapt the rest of the series - this really left me wanting more.

Shit I forgot he was in Predator :o

I was watching Death Hunt with Charlie Bronson and Lee Marvin last night and he turned up in that too funnily enough.

I'm well overdue to check out Copland again. I've always really dug it and thought of it as Sly's standout performance and was a return to his earlier work where he wasn't as typecasted.

[cheebacheeba]

Children of the Corn - I'd seen it once before years ago but didn't remember too much of it. It's an interesting kind've film, though personally didn't find it all that terrifying.

#2 of the above ^^ - Hm..."more of the same" only not quite as good.


UP - I really liked this one. Whoever said that the opening montage was a little sad hit the nail on the head there - though I find that the subject matter of death was treated in a respectful and gentle way, doesn't bring the overall tone of the film down so much, just throws some melancholy into the mix - it's a good introduction to the character. It's a nice tale of moving on, love, loss, rediscovery of passion and friendship, and expectations not always turning out as one might think in life. Very solid film if you ask me, for all ages. It's funny too, and I think in regards to the animation some of the textures are really, unbelievably good.
So...I downloaded it, but this one's on my buy list without question.

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

Kind of bland, but still a decent entertainer. Lots of amusing moments and solid performances from a great cast, but lazy direction and lack of plot drag it down. You've already seen the best moments in the trailers - maybe worth a look when it hits DVD, but no reason to rush. Just fairly entertaining fluff, nothing that really stands out.

"Abnormal activity" 5/10

The scenes at night were entertaining, but I couldn't care less about their daily lives and arguments.

About the scares. Cheap tricks most of em, which CAN be fine, but I thought they stuck to the same recipe way too much.

All in all I woulnd't say this haunted house flick was better than movies such as "The chair". Also a low budget indie flick.

When it comes to scares and atmosphere neither of them holds a candle to The Haunting, The Shining, Ju-on, The Grudge, The Woman In Black... ect.

The big difference is, that Normal Activcity uses handheld cameras, which is always a pain in my ass...

"Watchmen" 8-9/10

Could be my favourite superhero movie. At least it's in my top 3.

[psycho d]

The Holy Mountain (1973). This movie begins with a bombardment of seemingless unrelated and disturbing imagery and religious symbolism with no discernable story; at one point its seems this movie has no point at all. Then it starts to tighten itself up to reveal some relevent meaning and even a story. By the end, the beginning of the movie, which made no sense, is revealed to be just that, but somehow there was still an indescribable point to the beginning. Not an easy movie to comment on, which is probably for the best. If one can handle some pretty disturbing imagery and is willing to be open to philosophic and religious opinions and relevence, then this movie might just be for you.

Where the Wild Things Are (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386117/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/where_the_wild_things_are_poster2.jpg


Honestly, I was disappointed with this one. Was it gorgeous? Yes. Was the acting and voice acting great? Yes. Was Spike Jonez's vision incredible to watch on the big screen? Yes! I think my issue is that it honestly did not need to be a full-length movie. The muted tones served more to make the experience more bland than it should have been. At times I even found myself feeling kinda bored. Then again, the caveat to all this is that I was sick, so take my brief review with a grain of salt. I still give it 3 stars, though; considering the beauty I have a hard time giving it anything less.

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


REALLY low production value (at times reminiscent of a bad porno; there were scenes where it was CLEAR that the actors were not even on the same set), bad acting, horrible writing, and cheap vulgar humor. Reminds me a bit of watching Feast II after the original Feast. You begin to wonder if the original cult classic was just a fluke. Regardless, I cannot defend this movie, but I had a LOT of fun watching it. Embrace all of the flaw above along with its contrived twists and turns and you're enjoying it more ironically than anything else... But at least you're enjoying it. If you're a Boondock Saints fan, definitely see it, but don't pay theater prices for it.

2.5/5

Laid to Rest (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1228933/)

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


Honestly, after seeing its trailer, I wanted nothing to do with this movie. It looked like cheap, contrived exploitation. But it was the positive reviews from HDCers that made me give this movie a try... And I'm glad that I did. Laid to Rest is a movie that shows that the slasher genre is far from dead and that even low budget films can shock their audiences - This movie had some kills that seriously made my jaw drop... And as a jaded horror viewer, that is honestly not easy to accomplish for me. The writing is good (at times flawed, but easy to forgive), the acting is great, and the kills are awesome. What more can you ask for in a slasher film? Definitely check this one out.

3.75/5

Seventh Moon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1052040/)

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

I had honestly been looking forward to this movie for quite some time. Director Eduardo Sanchez, co-director of Blair Witch had already made his solo directing debut with Altered, a film that I have recommended on this forum multiple times. So when I read that he was directing a movie based in China during Hungry Ghost Month, I was pretty psyched to see what he would produce...

The over-use of the shakey cam alone was enough to make me feel sick (and I'm not generally one to complain about shakey cams). Then there was the bad writing, horrible acting, and the fact that I would rather see our two heroes die than triumph, made this one of the lest successful horror movies that I've seen in a while. Also, I'm not sure how he did it, but he managed to strip any sort of tension completely out of every scare scene. It was like an exercise in ineptitude. Not worth seeing.

.5/5 (the .5 is for the concept, but that is all)

Yet another "Turn of the screw".

This time the director had a new take on the story. Wasn't successful, but at least he tried something new with a movie that has been remade at least 10 times since the original back in the 50's. That's one each fifth year. Do we really need that many???

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

A very significant masterpiece of all time. A must see for all ages, classes and races around the world.

>>: A

Cool. My all-time favorite movie. Glad to see you appreciated it. Its always A++ in my book though.

[Angra]

UP - I really liked this one. Whoever said that the opening montage was a little sad hit the nail on the head there - though I find that the subject matter of death was treated in a respectful and gentle way, doesn't bring the overall tone of the film down so much, just throws some melancholy into the mix - it's a good introduction to the character. It's a nice tale of moving on, love, loss, rediscovery of passion and friendship, and expectations not always turning out as one might think in life. Very solid film if you ask me, for all ages. It's funny too, and I think in regards to the animation some of the textures are really, unbelievably good.



"UP" 8/10 ^^ Couldn't have said it better myself.

The Echo (2008)
Haven't seen the original (Siagw [2004]) yet but I guess it's a decent remake overall. A good ghost story set on a 'noisy' old apartment building. Worth a watch.

>>: B

The original's alright, but nothing incredible. The rotting face stain in the ceiling was pretty creepy, but other than that, it was pretty mediocre... I did like how the tenant wasn't the only person who heard the apparitions making noise.

[SamCostello]

Trick R Treat – Not sure why everyone was so excited about this. It wasn’t a bad movie, but it sure wasn’t anything to get excited about and was far from scary. Oh well.

I don't have any 'A++' grade in my book, buddy:) but yes..there is 'A+' which I like to keep for supreme masterpieces of cinema. And Mocking Bird was actually very close to that for sure.

Yes, everyone knows A+ is the highest grade. Myself included.

This is the only movie in history which I give an A++. Its that special. Don't know if anyone else shares my sentiments.

It is #1 in my all-time faves list. And it will always be #1.

Really good adaptation of the book (well kinda) - loved the sets, Langella was great (although a little Goth Romantic) - Olivier was a bit of a dissapointment in it....

Poor Quincey - he never gets a look in on these movies.

I have a very distant connection to this movie. The script it was based on had its original production at the Cherry Streey Theater, off-broadway, directed by Robert Hall. The very same Robert Hall, years earlier had directed me in my first three real plays, for the Omaha Junior Theatre. He later went on to draw for Marvel Comics- Godzilla among other titles.

[Ferox13]

Cool stuff - I did actually know it was based on a (off)Broadway play and that where the character Mina VanHelsing had its origins.

"Frygtelig lykkelig/Terribly happy" 8/10


Had a feeling i would like this one. A lot. Very well made drama/thriller with a lovely touch of dark humor.


Best described as a slow paced and more serious version of "Hot fuzz". Actually, maybe it comes closer to "U turn".... maybe it's a little bit of both. And a third..

The Quiet Earth (1985)

Another one that I've had for ages and only just got around to watching...glad I did though. Fantastic little "last man on Earth" story, with a powerhouse performance from Bruno Lawrence carrying most of the film. Really brought something different to the post-apocalypse sub-genre and had some truly amazing moments.


The Hurt Locker (2008)

Good movie, but didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Lots of great performances (particularly Jeremy Renner) and some very intense moments, but the scenes just didn't seem to flow properly and it took me a long while to get interested. Once it grabbed me I was pretty impressed, I just wish it could have been a bit more cohesive.

The main character's monologue at the end (to his son) I felt was really annoying and redundant; it really took me out of it.

Borderland (2007). Better than average horror from the 8 Films to Die For series. The beginning was pretty darn good, with the actual story starting afterwards only to bring the beginning back into the fray.

Leaning on the side of torture porn, this one is definitely worth a watch. Ashe.

[Disease]

Journey among women

It was a bit slow but an interesting piece of filmmaking from 1970's Australia. set in N,S,W bushland (it looked like the blue mountains), it is the story of a bunch of convict women who escape and are led by one of the ladys of the town. It all comes down to the redcoats trying to wipe them out.

7/10


Dogs in Space

This movie is great, I rented it yesterday mainly for the bonus documentary "We're living on dogfood" but I watched the movie late last night anyway for the first time in about 5 years, damn, I forgot how much I love it, I have to get me a copy.

For those who haven't seen it, it's set in Richmond,Melbourne,Australia in the late 70's. IT's about a share house that is out of controll and a band that exists there called dogs in space. If you haven't seen it you should.

Poor Pretty Eddie (1975)

This is one of the most amazing pieces of 70s exploitation I've ever seen. A wonderfully twisted piece of low budget filmmaking starring Leslie Uggams as a singer who gets stranded in Hicksville and held captive by a deranged group of hillbillies including Shelly Winters, Ted Cassidy, Slim Pickens and Dub Taylor.

Like most exploitation films, has to be seen to be believed.

[Ferox13]

Poor Pretty Eddie (1975)


Never Heard of that - i must track it down..

The Killing by Kubrick - absolutely perfect caper film. A much see for all. Great performance by Sterling hayden and total stand out bit part by the always nuts Timothy Carey....

Bob le flambeur AKA Bob the gambler (1956). The first of some great gangster flicks by Melville, this one might be a tad slow in action but makes up for it in other ways. This flick moves with Bob between elegance and seediness, both of which he is very comfortable. Though he is a hood, he has morals standards and longs for the good old days before the war came in and ruined gangsterism. Of course, a good caper is on the horizon, and with completely unforseen results. And keep a look out for the stunning Isabelle Corey; what a looker. All in all, another wonderful Melville addition.

Silent Hill (2006). i knew this was based on a video game going in, and that helped to make this a decent little flick watchable. Unfortunately, the rather forced acting almost killed it. The story was decent enough, and the overall theme was apparently very true to the game itself. Thankfully, this flick was resurrected by the visuals. The monsters were great, and the ending pretty bloody awesome. Overall a decent watch, and if'n yer into the game i'd bet you'd love it. Ashe.

I just wathed HOUSE OF THE DEVIL on a special preview on On Demand last night, because I heard it was like 80's horror and 70's exploitation movie, but, uh, things happen in those movies.

Street Fight, a documentary about the 2002 Newark, NJ, mayor’s race in which Corey Booker lost the first time (he won the next one). A fascinating view of how machine politics can pull the wool over so many people’s eyes and can be used to steal elections.

Trainspotting (1996). One of the best gritty and funny flicks to come from the kingdom. Danny Boyle scored big time with this one.

Cache (2005). This turned out to be a rather cerebral film that poses as an everday psycho-thriller. Nothing really makes sense as to why things are going on, making for a chilling atmosphere. The acting was awesome on all accounts. There were no supermodels or uber-heros here, just kinda chubby, middle-aged and mundane sorts, making for a down to earth intensity. How they acted and reated was disturbingly human. The camera work was at times disturbing, but for reasons unknown. A great flick that is probably not for everyone as there is not a lot of action driving this movie; but for movie-philes that can be moved without an action hero this dark flick should be perfect.

Watched that again myself sometime last week because I've been reading a lot of Irvine Welsh lately. I got pretty anti towards it for awhile because I saw it way to many times during the late 90s but I really enjoyed it this time round. I don't find it as gritty as other flicks involving heroin and its quite lightweight compared to the book.

Last thing I watched was Bruno. There was some OTT shit that was fucking funny and the mother's peddling their kids off to be child actors was disturbing.
Doubt I'd watch it again but it was an enjoyable enough distraction.

Shoot the Piano Player (1960). An absolute gem of a French gangster flick, this is as much a study of natural vs developed character as it is a loved story spurred on by gangster violence. With lots of twists and turns and secret pasts, this is a simple story that is beautifully told and wonderful to watch. Ashe.

Le Deuxieme Souffle (1966). Another great gangster film by Melville. i think that most detractors dis on this film for being too long. But there is a difference between being too long and a movie that happens to be long. There is nothing that should have, or even could have, been edited out. Melville always spends lots of time in the actual caper, giving them a real time feel. That this movie takes its time developing characters and the story is blessing and not a distraction. Melville also did a great job giving this one a clostraphobic feel for much of the film, only to open it up in the middle with great effect. If ya like hard-boiled characters and films with likable villains (Ventura was awesome), great detectives (Meurisse was equally awesome), intrigues, betrayals, twists, and the "code," then this film will be anything but too long.

Slow paced with some average or weak acting skills, I think this new indie flick still delivered better than the expectations. Somewhat inspired by Clive Barker's stories, this weird little film tells three intertwined stories in a non-linear fashion. Centering around 3 characters...it tries to build a surreal world (Hell) of what happens when you meddle with superstition and try to cross into another dimension using the powers of a tattooed Ouija board on someone's body!
