Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[psycho d]

Dersu Uzala (1975). Another masterpiece by Kurosawa. How he directs a Russian movie with a Mongolian co-lead is a mystery, but he does so wonderfully. This beautiful flick centers around the friendship that grows between two unlikely men, one adventurous but deeply civilized and cultured, the other innocent and wild. The movie almost has a documentary feel to it in the beginning, but this slowly ebbs away as the relationship between the Russian and the Gondi wildman comes to fruition. The cinematography at time was felt more than seen. The irony of "civilized man" really rears its ugly head in a cryptic sense at the of this incredible movie. Ashe.

Dersu Uzala (1975). Another masterpiece by Kurosawa..

One of my faves from my all-time fave director. Some of the cinematographic sequences are absolutely breath-taking and stunning.

I am so glad you are loving Kurosawa, D. His works are indeed once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

If you didn't know about Twilight I'd have just told you I was going to see a vampire flick that had vamps fighting each other as well as a group of shapeshifters that change into giant wolves. Also, I guess the only way to kill these vampires is to dismember them and burn all the pieces... why are such novel concepts hidden so deeply in these books/films?

[siorai]

Surrogates

Not bad actually. There are some plot holes left at the end, but overall it's a decent enough sci-fi action flick.

Star Trek [2009]

Ditto. It really surpassed my expectations... with the exception of the Shaun of the Dead guy playing Scotty that just didn't work at all IMO.

Still not a great film but there was much more action, the acting was improved, and the story was a little more interesting this go around. I liked that Alice character and the Jamaican vampire.

Clean, Shaven (1993). A wickedly disturbing film that shows the in the schizphrenic. The story is perfectly vague for its intents, but is solid at the same time. Peter Greene portrays the tragic lead powerfully, and his mother, played by Megan Owen, plays her part so well that it seemed that Peter had no choice but to be deranged. Where they found that little girl, the one the permanent "pout face," is a complete mystery. The imagery and hauntingly ubiquitous audio brilliantly allow the viewer a peek into Peter's disturbing reality. The direction was awesome as well. Sadly, as great a film as this is, i doubt many people could actually get through it, let alone enjoy it for what it is. Ashe.

The counterpoint between the serious, straightforward visuals and the subjective, layered audio track is just incredible. I hadn't seen anything like before and haven't since.

Don't wake him, he's dead tired is probably my favourite line, to many fine one liners to choose from though. Bennetts ridiculous chainmail vest is enough to make the film a classic alone.

I Spit on Your Grave (1978). This started out as a poorly acted 70s exploitation flick that was almost forced viewing, but then turned into a pretty decent flick, especially for its time. The feel was almost documentary in tone, and the main scene was blatant and real as opposed to viewer friendly exploitation. Overall worth a watch, especially for the fans of brutal flicks. Ashe.

This is my ultimate bliss. My nirvana.

Most of you might rate this a 7 or a 8 (maybe a 9, or even below 7), but for me this is the only cinematic experience I would give a 12 (out of 10). If there ever was a sixth star beyond the maximum rating of 5 stars, this is the one which gets it. Goonies, Neverending Story, Platoon, The Warriors, Alien, Blade Runner all fall a notch below (for me that is).

If you asked me why...I probably couldn't answer you back. Couldn't explain it. No words come to mind.

Except one line which I can offer as the best summation - this story touches me like nothing else in my life.

That's all.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle - A dour crime drama about small-time hoods in early 70s Boston. Not a fun movie, per se, and the Boston accents weren't great, but a good movie all about negotiation and transaction.

Elevator to the Gallows (1958). A masterpiece of French noir by first-time director Malle. The acting is superb, with steamy Moreau melting the screen brooding over her lover, the cool but luckless Ronet. The scene of her crossing the street was insane. Lino Ventura also gives a great if brief perfomance. With sparse dialogue, again this flick does what it is supposed to, show a story unfolding. And quite a story this was, with unforeseen coincidences, childish pranks, and luck culminating into that great ending. The dark atmosphere and camerawork are wonderful, with a score by Miles Davis that addded the perfect touches to an incredible film. Ashe.

Mulholland Dr. (2001). Though this was a great movie, it still begs the question: Why make a movie that is so nigh impossible to figure out that it comes with a just as cryptic cheater card? i love mind benders, but this was a bit much. Maybe the fun is found catering to the ego in how much a guy can correctly figure out before peeking at the interweb's "answers in the back of the book" website. Either way, it was a great experience, just a little over the top for the average human brain.

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

A true wonder; brings one back (or puts one back, rather) to a sense of awkward and wide-eyed childhood amazement. Times when grand adventures popped up at every corner, yet with those came insecurities, sometimes sadness, the mopes; all indicative of something bigger than you, some future lesson. Wes Anderson has captured this in a colorful, intimately-animated, tiny little world, one that's difficult to leave.
Absurdly (and dryly) hilarious, melancholy, and constantly delightful.

Sad to say I agree. I mean while I didn't hate it, and thought the "more" sci-fi element towards the end was kind of interesting, I found I wasn't overall as entertained. The first one, I went and bought as soon as I possibly could, something I haven't done since Shaun of the Dead.
The second one, just felt like...a game expansion pack?
Though perhaps if they worked on a storyline, and a less specific form of "energy generation" (hm...general Pain?) they could make the sequel they should have...probably beyond hope now though.

Blue Velvet (1986). This Lynch classic definitely deserves to be a classic. Though i probably need a couple more viewings to get most of the symbolism, i went away with enough of an understanding to be appropriately disturbed.

Saw some bits and pieces of the original NOTLD, pretty good background flick to have on.

Just finished watching Mary and Max...bit difficult to sum it up really, kind of sad little film centered around a couple of slightly broken characters...with moments of happiness sprinkled throughout great humour and interesting perspectives on life regardless of "reason".

*yawn*

I don't think I've been so bored watching an action movie, nor ever cared so little about characters that I have loved in previous installments in a series. I think I got to about the halfway mark before I started looking at the clock and wondering when it would be over. It wasn't a bad movie per se, but given what the first two movies were like Salvation just felt hollow and lifeless. It didn't help having inane plot manipulation, gaping plot holes, and actors slipping in and out of their native accents.

[cheebacheeba]

Out of the two, I probably thought Star Trek was better - though I didn't have much a problem with either, both met/exceeded expectations, both were better than the last franchise films previous them.

[Straker]

I gotta be honest and say I struggled to sit through Star Trek. Thought it was pathetic. Half the characters came across as a parody of the original the other half came across as a bunch of emo kids. I can't think of a single character from that film that I had any interest in. I haven't been that close to wanting to smash the TV since seeing Watchmen. I guess on a positive note I could say Star Trek was a bit better than Watchmen though. I also thought the opening scene was fairly good.

[psycho d]

Amores Perros AKA Love's a Bitch (2000). Absolutely awesome Mexican flick that comes with one major warning. If you are an animal lover ya may want to stay away from this one (unless of course ya can completely divorce movies from the real world). The title is an apt one, for this is a painful study on the pain of love, both sexual and familial. The story was convoluted but never confusing, with a nice complement of drama and action. The acting was awesome, as was the direction and camera-work. The symbolism works wonderfully, and Cofi almost serves as the centerpoint to the fundamental meaning of this great movie. A long movie to be sure, i never found myself wondering when it would be over, and was actually found myself disappointed that it ended so soon.

i enjoyed star trek a lot - with the exception of simon pegg who was horribly miscast.


Really? I liked Pegg a lot, I just didn't like the stupid creature they threw in (Was that the Oompa Loompa from Carlie and the Chocolate Factory?).

I want to see Salvation, maybe I'll check that out this week, I honestly have enjoyed all 3 Terminator flicks so far so I can't see disliking the fourth.

I felt the same way and it was my only complaint about the film. Karl Urban really surprised me, his performance of Bones was brilliant.

I avoided most of the hype when it came to Terminator: Salvation and not being a fan of Bale I honestly wasn't expecting much especially after the third film which did have a couple of cool moments but lacked the more serious tone of the previous films. I think seeing Terminator: Salvation on the big screen help sway my judgement on it. The film was such and onslaught and I walked out of the theatre with my ears ringing! It's my favourite of the series after the original film and I'm amped on the rumoured further entries.

Ned Kelly (1970)

The story of the legendary Australian bushranger, interestingly played by Mick Jager. A pretty well worked telling of the tale this one. I think I prefer it to the more modern Heath Ledger film.

What a performance from Charlize Theron.

[psycho d]

Le Doulos (1962). Another wonderful gangster flick by Melville, this one may be the most covoluted of the bunch. Just when i resigned myself to be being completely lost, there was finally a little relief. The acting was solid, with a rather jazzy soudtrack to keep things going. The lack of the central character might disappoint some viewers, but this is one"s strength is hidden in the story, which centers on honor, the code, trust, and betrayal. The black and white cinematography was sweet, and the opening scene reminiscent of Melville's perfect beginnings. The ending was perfect for the era. Overall, this was a great viewing experience.

Feast II: Sloppy Seconds (2008). After enjoying the first one, my guess was that the second would be horrible. i was pleasantly surprised by this blood dripping follow-up. It was an absolutely blast of a joy ride. With bodily fluids flying in every direction only to be blended by a vomit fest here and there, there was nothing sacred in this funky little follow up. Not for everyone for sure, definitely a must see for those in it for pure fun. The couple times that it did slow down it was so that the art director could flex his muscles. The acting was just ok, but how could it be otherwise when the monsters are driven by a dichotomy of bloodlust and extreme sexual licentiousness. If one were to look for something that was taken seriously, the art direction here was pretty wonderful. Fun stuff. Ashe.

Wow.

One of the best character pieces that I have seen. Ever. Black comedy done right (and I don't generally like movies that are coined as "Black Comedies"). Just enough over-the-top comedy combined with muted humor and a truly tragic hero (who is horrible, but at the same time someone you're rooting for). The writing and acting were phenomenal, especially Seth Rogan. I want to recommend this film, but I don't think that it's for everyone. However, for those who'd like it, you'll LOVE it.

So you didn't think it was a slight step above T3...at all?

T3 has only been surpassed in the category of "big budget movie that sucked complete ass" by Ultraviolet as far as I'm concerned. T3 was such a horrendous movie on all accounts that they could have had Salvation be a T-800 with a rubber Arnie mask reading Dick and Jane books for two hours and it still would have been a masterpiece in comparison to T3. I try to forget that T3 even happened much like Alien: Resurrection.

Zombie Strippers! (2008). Are you kidding me? This had the potential to go either way, and fortunately it went in the direction of B-movie cult classic.

Pontypool (2008)

For the first 50 minutes or so, it really draws you in; more than a reimagining or revisiting of a genre (zombie), but something that strives to work outside of it. It generates great tension and incredible curiosity, both increasing exponentially for the (like I said) first 50 or so minutes. Then, it kind of melts into a sloppiness of half-baked intellect and genre conventions. Even so, it still remains interesting throughout. Definitely worth a watch for some fresh ideas, great pacing, and solid performances.

The House of the Devil (2009)

http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/9001/hotd4.jpg

From the vintage opening title to the end, it captures the mood so well that if anyone see this movie without knowing its time of release then there is a good chance to believe that it was actually shot in the 80s!
Other than that it's a slow burning horror of "80's" that bit falls down by taking too long on build up the tension or any solid shocker punch. The first 70 minutes leave you feeling unease, like the inevitable is coming...yet it's only a question of when. But when the end begins, it all kicks off...fairly graphic & twisted.
Overall, this is a good homage to the late 70's & 80's horror films. I liked the effort of showing the essence of what horror once was, and trying to give a kind of authenticity of the genre for a treat unseen for the last twenty years.

Letters from Iwo Jima (2006). Another Eastwood masterpiece, this one truly felt as if it were told from an eastern point of view.

Either way, the acting was splendid, the war scenes powerful, and the direction wonderful. The story itself was well crafted. Ashe.

Paranormal Activity C

This film should be called No Activity. Slow build up, many loose ends and questions left unanswered. I understand we're meant to be clueless like them, but certain things like the flaming Ouija board didn't really need to be in there. Made worse by the constant screaming of nearby girls at every bump and creak (coughing on purpose at times of suspense was fun :D). The only bit worth watching is the last ten minutes, which is the only reason it reached as high as a C.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007). This one seemed to get some pretty good reviews, but it was only ok at best (that's being very generous). Gore hounds will be pleased as it is pretty gruesome, but to little effect. The storyline, even with a totally different premise, was almost the same as the first one. While there were at least a couple of tense moments in the first one, this one feels pretty flat. It was at least a bit of fun watching Henry Rollins play a total stereotypical hero, but only because Rollins is awesome. For those that want a Hollywood feeling DTV splatterfest then it may be great, but for true horror fans there was not much here but gallons of blood. Ashe.

Forbidden Games (1952). Nothing short of brilliant, this French classic captures the essence of children forced to come to terms with death. More than that, this films captures the innocent egocentricity of childhood, if not its essence in entirety. Juxtaposed with this is the absurd and trite world of adults, whose shenanigans are more silly than any games the children might play. The acting is great, and the children are nothing short of remarkable. The film's title is misleading, so let me say that the forbidden games are not of a sexual nature, which may keep some people from venturing out to enjoying this must-see classic. On a side note, this movie was originally shot as a movie short, but was then made to stand on its own and had to have more footage shot a year later. Imagine the director cringing to keep his child actors from looking looking that much older. Ashe.

Midnight Cowboy (1969). There is no really great story per say here, but instead a realistc snapshop of a couple of schmucks trying to get by in the squalid New York of the 60s. The acting was superb, with Voight and Hoffman complementing each other perfectly. This is a tale of a codependent friendship born of naivete and deceit. The direction was awesome, with appropriate uses of flashback and fantasies to help establish the inner character of each of our antiheroes. Definitely not a feel good flick, this is one of the best movies made in its time, if not one of the best ever made. Ashe.

the director is bruce macdonald - a canadian treasure. i love his films (although i havent seen this one yet (but i do own it)

the actor stephen mchattie (sp ?) reminds me of frank gorshin

here's bruce from a couply of years a go with a pair of goofs.
(he was promoting pontypool at the time)

Paranormal Activity.

Should be called no activity, seriously, this film was so dull for the most part it was unbelievable. Think of a Blair Witch project set in Suburbia in order to make more people stay awake at night. However, on the other hand, it's particularly good for such a small budget. However, I don't think it'll survive long alongside some of the big wigs.

Cool pic..

Loks like some one else they thought they looked similar:

bruce macdonald looks alot like Ray Winstone.

Guy on the left looks like a young Brad Pitt but dreamier....

What else has the director done that worth checking out (or where should I start)?

FC - the film did amazing at the box office (especially considering the budget) - I thought it was pretty good but much like Blair Witch I can't see much replay value..

Paranormal Activity C

This film should be called No Activity. Slow build up, many loose ends and questions left unanswered. I understand we're meant to be clueless like them, but certain things like the flaming Ouija board didn't really need to be in there. Made worse by the constant screaming of nearby girls at every bump and creak (coughing on purpose at times of suspense was fun :D). The only bit worth watching is the last ten minutes, which is the only reason it reached as high as a C.

Dread (2009)

http://www.horror.com/php/uploads/2358_thumb.jpg

Three college students producing a documentary on the true nature of fear are slowly drawn into a world of nightmares when one member of the group begins exploiting the phobias of his fellow participants in hopes of seeking salvation from his own dark obsession.

As it is already selected for 2010's HORRORFEST 4, I should say this is going to be a great entry in compare to those "films to die for" of recent years. As on directorial debut Anthony DiBlasi pretty impressively adapted Clive Barker's short story of the same title. Pretty slick, dark & twisted, I liked it. The ensemble cast also delivered adequate performance that was needed.

Recommended.

I always forget how good this movie actually is, I wonder why I don't give it enough credit. :confused:

[psycho d]

Maniac! (1980). With the exception of some of the worst acting that i have seen in a while, this was actually a great movie. The lead character, played by Joe Spinell, was chilling in its portrayal of a madman. Told from the point of view of the killer, we get to hear some of the inner dialogue that this psycho intrigues in, and this was probably more frightening than the actual kills. There are plenty of great gore scenes, especially for its time, with of course the one infamous scene that is still pretty shocking. The sound track was perfectly over the top, the direction was fine, and the camera work was splendidly playful. All in all a good time for the dedicated sicko. Ashe.

District b13: Ultimatum
It was ok, but not as good as the first IMO, storyline might've been slightly better but something just wasn't as "fun" in this one, I think the fight choreography was better in the first.
If there's a double pack I'd probably buy it.
If you liked the first, this is a decent follow up - cool music too.

Pop Skull (2007)

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8748/popskull.jpg

A very slow moving experimental Indie Horror that tells the story of Daniel, a pill addict utterly lost in a post breakup depression and struggling to maintain a fragile hold on reality and confused whether the visions he keeps catching sight of are actual ghosts or simple creations of his altered mind. The dark tone & atmosphere of the film sometimes able to delivered creepy & disturbing substances that are resulted from Daniel’s series of hallucinations & nightmares. Though this little dull weird flick definitely not for everyone but I think overall the effort is appreciable.

DSL was out for 5 days so I got to check out a lot of films...


2012 - Stunning visuals, weak direction and characters. Wtf Cusack?


Feast 2 - Seemed like some of the gore scenes were forcefully put in, just for the sake of being "gorific" (the monster-dissection one).
And the whole "baby-rescue" scene was really poor in taste IMO. Cant forgive the makers to have put this sequence into the film. It could have done without it.
On a side note, Jenny Wade has a really nice ass.

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq67/SkwirlForum/Topic%20Art/Feast_2_8.jpg

Looking forward to checking more of that soon.


Intruder - Always love this. Some of my favorite kills in this one.


A Night at the Roxbury - A guilty pleasure. Always loved it.


The Neverending Story - One of my all-time faves.


Flight of the Navigator - See above.


30 Days of Night - Great story, weak climax. Sort of like an anti-climatic ending really. For a strong villain, he went down rather "tamely". But still it kept my interest alive throughout so I am pretty keen on checking out where the sequel goes.


Dead Space: Downfall - Loved this.

But the extended "everyone gets a facial from a corpse" scene was Oscar-worthy cinema right? You obviously don't "get" the Feast movies at all. The movies are basically an hour and a half each of gore scenes loosely held together by a "plot" just for the sake of being gory and over the top stupid fun. You're meant to nitpick and analyze the plot and thematic devices used in the film about as much as you should for a porno. Oddly enough all the films in question involve an inordinate amount of flying semen...

i 'get' the feast films.

i understand perfectly that the sole point of these films were to lampoon the genre and push the envelope of bad taste as far as possible.

in the fisrt film it succeeded. it felt fresh and fun.
the second film felt like it was made by giggling school boys trying to offend their grandparents.

i get what they were doing - but an endless string of gross out set pieces designed to offend (and aimed at a demographic that have already seen it all) collapsed on itself, taking me out of the movie completely.

feast 2 was the iceage 2 of horror films.

Lunacy (2005). This Czech flick by Jan Svankmajer has it all: it's dark, blasphemous, disturbing, funny, and philosophic. This is Jan's notion of a horror film, but it is much more than just that. Blending elements of Poe and Sade, Jan uses them to put together a wonderful study of the treatment of insanity and then uses it to make a statement about society itself. His use of stop motion animation here brilliantly reveals the insanity that comes seeping out of the woodwork after each ludicrous scene. The acting was great, though some may find the "looking into the camera" scenes a little weird. With great direction, wonderful camera work, wild animation (tongues crawling in and out of beer glasses, sans owners), disturbing imagery (loved the view from outside of the horse buggy), like i said, this one has it all. Ashe.

In fairness the whole series prides its self on poor taste - the baby scene was pretty funny.

Yep, the first one was loaded with plenty of black humor. The second one went into overload mode, which made it look much inferior. The black guy wasnt funny. People might have laughed out loud at his antics, I didn't. Some of the gags were real eye-rollers. The first one is one of my modern-day faves, this one left a lot to be desired.

Yeah I expected a kinda unstylised approach to this - I thought (for some reason) it would be a realistic 'underground/bareknuckle' fight scenes - not a Bloodsport kung fu extravaganza (ie the swimming pool bit)...

The Box (2009)

http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/photo/movie_pix/warner_brothers/the_box/thebox_smallposter.jpg

Based on a beautiful short story of Richard Matheson that already has been adapted for an episode of the Twilight Zone TV series and I think that's the best way to treat such a simple & effective supernatural tale. But when director like Richard Kelly go for a celluloid treatment then you can guess how it can be turns out. Somewhat the original Twilight Zone episode is played out within the first hour, followed by further events that turned it into a X-Files type of sci-fi mystery thriller. But in this case, it's quite slowly developed and not that much confusing weird piece as Kelly's earlier work like Donnie Darko was and in the same way it isn't that much interesting at all. Overall, it's not a bad or very average movie but surely not as good as I expected.

Dan Curtis directed piolt for an illfated TV series - very similar to Curtis' earlier produced/directed Kolchak films....Very similar themes - a writer investigates the supernatural, stories told in flash back back etc..

Despite poor make acting, scares and make up there is something charming about this show/film. Unfortunally, protagonist David Norliss is has no where near the lovabilty of the rogue reporter Carl Kolchak..

Pity the series was never picked up...

Pi: Faith in Chaos (1998). Though many would disagree, i loved this shoestring offering from Aronovsky. The acting was awesome, and the unobtrusive ethnic diversity was a welcome change. The direction and writing were fantastic, and while the editing might be a little MTVesque, it was done with high style in what would become an Aronovsky trademark. Though a little harsh, the black and white film here was incredible. The symbolism was pretty effective, but at times too abstruse for me. The story itself was of a genius' downward spiral (couldn't help myself) into madness as he uses mathematics to unlock the secret of the universe. With antagonists both without and within, this was definitely a clinching intellectual thriller. Ashe.
