Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[Elvis_Christ]

I was really excited about the original but it was really disappointing to me. It was just straight up dumb and all the humor just didn't work for me. It just didn't deliver what it promised IMO but each to their own.

Danielle Harris rules. A true modern Scream Queen if ever there was one.

I get that, the humor bothered me too. That's why my brother didnt like it either. In that aspect i can understand why you like the second one.

Danielle Harris is amazing and like you said a true Scream Queen in an era severely lacking in such. Now i think i'm gonna have to go watch the Halloween Remake. She saved that thing for me. ;)

I'll have to check out that Malefique flick. French i guess.

I am surprised you haven't seen it yet.

You will love it. A very interesting film with a rather unique premise.

An absolutely incredible film; a perfect combination of pulp drama, historical comment, and wild stylization. Probably my favorite Suzuki, which is saying a lot.

Vanishing on 7th Street


would have worked better as a short in an anthology. Hayden Christensen must have gone to the Michael Pare school of acting....not very exciting.

Some tension with a bit of atmosphere but as stated above....dragged on too long with NO explanation.

Yeah, in retrospect I totally agree. Check the date on that post, long time ago. Still love Halloween II though...might not be as good as the original, but still miles ahead of most of the other sequels.

...Since, and only since, we're seeing the third one next week...
Transformers.
Not *all that* bad, but lacks the essential feel of the franchise, really it's something I don't think should ever have been bought out of the cartoon world and upon this viewing I still think so.
It's "ok". The fight scenes were pretty jumbled though.

"Guns Of The Magnificent Seven" (1969)
-George Kennedy, James Whitmore, Monte Markham

Plot: IMDB

A Mexican revolutionary hires an American gunslinger to organize the rescue of their leader from a brutal army prison.

Phantom's Review: Third film in "M7" series. Not as good as the classic original, but nowhere near as bad as the fourth film ("The M7 Ride!")
Western vet George Kennedy takes over the role of Chris from Yul Brynner and his version bears absolutely NO resemblance to the original, but despite this, I actually enjoy this film a lot. Familiar screen faces such as Jo Don Baker, Bernie Casey and Micheal Ansara (as the villain) populate the film. The plot is basic, but the acting is good and the action is plentiful. A solid, good sequel.

"Tall Man Riding" (1955)
-Randolph Scott

Plot: IMDB
seeking revenge against ranch owner Tuck Ordway for publicly whipping him years earlier and breaking up his relationship with Ordway's daughter, cowboy Larry Madden plans to oust Ordway from his ranch by having his claim to the land declared invalid. Ordway's daughter Corinna, believing Madden to be the cause of the family's recent misfortunes, is unaware that the local saloon owner also has designs upon the Ordway holdings.

Phantom's Review: Randolph Scott doing what he did best. Solid, well acted western adventure. Nothing too original, but plenty of action. I enjoyed it.

You can't do much when the kids in your wife's family are literally begging you to accompany them to watch a film which you know you won't like one bit. They yelled and cheered and watched in awe at the ultra-loud and ultra-fast effects, while I had my ears covered for most of the time.

Adding a story for the first time in the series, the film is actually semi-decent if you are looking for an entertainer. Don't know why Spielberg regards him so highly, but Shia LeBeouf can't act. Half of the time he looked bored, tired and out of place. The new girl, Rosie, was gorgeous eye-candy but can't act either. John Turturro, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand try their best, but that isn't enough.

I can only pray they don't make another one.

I liked that movie and i thought it was okay that they didnt explain everything. Not every movie has to do that and i thought they explained enough that you could figure it out on your own and i like movies that give you that option. It sparks thought and conversation.

Don't misunderstand. I LOVE movies which doesn't just explains itself, but still, this movie had a lot going on, and imo, they could've left some of it out of the script.

It doesn't make it a more worse film tho.:)

"The Lone Ranger" (1956)
-Clayton Moore, Jay Silverheels

Plot: IMDB

A a greedy cattle baron wants to seize a silver-rich mountain on an Indian reservation and devises plans to have the Indians relocated or exterminated to achieve his ends.

Phantom's Review: I love this movie. A wonderful, Saturday morning matinee style western adventure film. In other words, it's fun for kids of all ages.
Simple, but well written story, plenty of action, beautifully filmed, a good supporting cast and of course the legendary Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels in their signature roles. I fully admit to having a fondness for The Ranger And Tonto and this is one of their best adventures. The folks who are going to be in next years new movie had better do a good job. They have a lot to live up to.

This movie made absolutely no sense. It was just a bunch of strange random events that were supposed to be (from what I've read about the movie) shocking, hilarious and thought provoking. It was none of that. Why this was nominated for an Oscar i'll never know. I get that this movie was trying to make a point but i'm sick of movies that go over the top with its weirdness and debauchery just to try and invoke a reaction. I wish i could get my hour and a half back.

World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries 2 (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/ZombieDiaries2WOTD.jpg

The first Zombie Diaries was a pretty decent effort, I liked that. But this sequel first of all, was kinda annoying as a POV feature or first-person perspective. As it centers around a small squad of military soldiers so the "camera man" also happens to be a soldier but most of the time he does absolutely nothing but record the events watching dying his fellow comrades while he was just standing there with the camera. And more annoyingly no one notices that or tells him that he should have shooting something other than footage. Other than that it adds nothing that much new than the first film.

I really enjoyed Dogtooth. There's no need for a plot; to me, its power lies in documenting some outrageous and fascinating little world. The viewer becomes like a zoo-goer, watching creatures in captivity and feeling sad, yet being transfixed with the way they interact with their censored world. It's definitely disturbing, and like Fearonsarms said, the set-pieces are great. I can certainly see why some might not dig it, it's slow-burning and off-putting, but I was definitely impressed with it.

Okay that makes sense. That's just not the kind of "movie" i like to watch. As for it being disturbing, i dont understand why everyone says that about it and why people think it was hilarious. I didnt get that from it at all.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g432/Travis_Lake/imagesw.jpg

I liked it but i dont like they way they handled the death of the daughter. It happens right in the beginning of the movie in a flashback/montage type sequence while the credits are still rolling and a weird music plays killing the mood.

You never got a connection between the daughter and the parents, you never got to see the love and therefore you cant connect with them yourselves and feel for them for the loss of their daughter which is bad because her death is the catalyst for everything they do later on and the events that follows.

It also seemed to be in a hurry to get to the ending and rushed through all the storytelling. Certain elements of it just felt out of place and presented wrong because of that. Also that weird music thing i mentioned plays a lot during scenes that would have been scarier if there had been only silence. It also rips off Pet Semetary.

Not terrible but it had the potential to be really good and in the end it was only okay.

"Passengers" (2008)
-Anne Hathaway

Plot: IMDB

After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire, is assigned by her mentor to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident -- which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened -- Claire is intrigued by Eric, the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric -- despite her better judgment -- blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.

Phantom's Review: Well acted, but slow moving mystery thriller with a slight supernatural twist. Nothing really original about it, in fact my wife and I figured out "the twist" about half way thru the movie. Not bad, just not all that interesting.

"Return To Oz" (1985)
-Fairuza Balk

Plot: IMDB
It has been six months since Dorothy has returned home from Oz and she still cannot sleep. She has been going on about imaginary places and people so much that Aunt Em takes her to see a doctor. She promptly escapes from the mental hospital and wakes up in Oz where her pet chicken, Billina, can now talk. There she meets a whole new bunch of friends and they set off to rescue the Scarecrow from the evil Nome King who has found her ruby slippers and used them to lay waste to the Emerald City and take over Oz.

Phantom's Review: Based on the second and third "Oz' books. this film is far darker in tone than the 1939 classic musical.But it's a good film in it's own right. Unfairly compared to the Judy Garland film this movie is a more faithful adaptation of the L. Frank Baum novels. Very entertaining and a bit scary. I think the film is worth watching, just don't expect any singing or dancing.

I quite liked this one too - not a musical, but that's not what I required of a movie as a child...I never got to see this at the cinema but I remember I was about 7 years old when we first hired the VHS.
It scared me, that much I can clearly recall.
I remember being a bit taken aback by the "different" characters, but yes having seem the original illustrations in the Baum novels I can see that they were designed in a pretty close manner to them.
Having seen it again just about a year ago, I think it still holds it's own as a pretty good "kids" movie, if you can call it that.
As far as the grounds as a sequel, I think it does pretty well there too - there are perhaps some things "missing" and "different" from the musical predecessor, but this to me is the stuff of pretty good sequels, continuity and time gone by...really loved the changed Oz.
This, the "original", and "TinMan" actually make for a great collection.
One day, I'll try to get a collected edition of all the Oz stuff, as I understand it the books proceed quite a bit past the Dorothy stories.



I went and saw Transformers 3 yesterday, expecting very little.
I've not really enjoyed this series much at all, so when the third came around I thought "yep, more explosions".
Surprisingly enough, this one actually had a coherent, and IMO actually decent plot...sure, it was relatively simplistic but compare it to the two films that came before it and it's a pretty major upgrade.
The storyline was ok, the characters...hit and miss...with a just a tad more depth to their interactions with each other and the machines.
Have to say the new chick just looks like a freak to me...while I'd hit it, her mouth makes her look like an alien...she wasn't actually that terrible though, her accent was a little bit annoying - reminded me of Lady Penelope.

***Personally, I know Fox got fired etc...but I thought it would make more sense to bring the Australian chick from the first one back, rather than establish a brand new character out of nowhere...though I suppose her storyline and the events involving her didn't play out too badly***

The machines dialogue and interactions with each other was also an improvement, and in one particular scene...was actually a bit heart wrenching.
The fight scenes were pretty spectacular, and this time they seemed a little less cluttered - better to tell what was going on - They were longer and just, put together in a way I much preferred.
The atmosphere was more tense this time around, and the overall events were on a much larger more significant scale.
I actually...liked this film...
It has everything the others do, it just feels like a better movie.
I don't think it's about to win any awards, but for those who have not enjoyed the series thus far it might be worth a chance.

Phantom's Review: Minor league Randolph Scott film. The acting is good, but the plot is simple, the action is minimal and the attempts at humor fall flat.
And Scott does a truly unnecessary and annoying voice over narration. I like Scott but this is not one of his better films

[cheebacheeba]

Carriers.
Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs) and a brief appearance by Chris Meloni (SVU/Harold and Kumar).
Set after the outbreak of a deadly viral epidemic, two brothers along with their respective partners are travelling towards a secluded area in order to live safely without coming into contact with the infected...which of course, they do throughout the course of the movie.
A popular theory seems to be that this is a zombie film, it's not. The infected aren't undead, they aren't in any way superhuman or flesh hungry - In fact the larger threat in this reality is the "normal" people and how they react to the situation...ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances kind of thing - Breakdown of civilisation incited by panic.
So yeah it's really more of a drama/thriller I suppose, it's not without it's exciting and terrifying moments though, with situations presenting themselves that require the characters featured to make some terrible decisions, the choice between humanity and survival coming into play...it's a pretty emotionally charged, and scary film, acheiving it's scares not through cheap jumps, rather by introducing ideas and concepts that will play on the mind of the viewer.

If you've seen films along the lines of "Right at your door", or enjoy films that introduce visions of a morbid reality, you'd probably enjoy this film.
Good for what it was.
I'd give it a 7/10

Hey cheeba I like these new in depth reviews you've been writing. Enjoying them very much!

Hey cheeba I like these new in depth reviews you've been writing. Enjoying them very much!

Cool, Thanks.
I don't watch all that many movies these days - but I figure I should try to give some insight when I can, so yeah I'll try to keep it up.

[cheebacheeba]

That said,

I just rewatched "Rain Man" for the first time in maybe 15 years.
I have many memories of watching this movie as a child...back then, I likely thought it was just about a 'quirky' guy.
So this was the first time I've seen it in my adult life - I got the BluRay, and while it looks "decent", it's nowhere near the quality of the original Dawn of the Dead BluRay I picked up a little while ago...so yeah, it's showing age a little.
Got it for $8 so no complaints there really.

For those that might have missed it, Rain Man stars Tom Cruise as the main protagonist "Charlie" in one of his earlier adult roles (I remember when people actually used to like him, rather than let his personal life colour their opinion...), who has a solid enough performance as a bit of a self centred egotist, though the film is absolutely stolen from under him in every way possible by his characters brother "Raymond" played by Dustin Hoffman.
It's funny, a newer generation of moviegoers may underestimate Hoffmans acting prowess after being involved in a few...less-than-sensible...movie roles of late, but all they need to do is pop on one of the classics like "death of a salesman", straw dogs, (the astoundingly awesome) Papillon, and of course the film you're reading about now.
Hoffman portrays an autistic savant, in a performance he completely embodies to an amazing degree, as a character who is emotionally behind nigh inpenetrable walls.
Long story short, upon the death of his estranged father Charlie discovers that the majority of his estate is falling into the hands of an unknown beneficiary. When he investigates the matter, he finds that this is actually a brother he was unaware of, along with his primary carer and doctor. Raymond resides full time in an institution due to the perceived severity of his condition. Charlie decides to "kidnap" his brother in an brash attempt to extort half of the inheritance he feels he has a right to.
As they spend more time together and the events of the film unwind, the brothers step outside their normal routines and further towards each other, both making personal progress in themselves as they go from strangers to two people with a bond that while distant is very touching and truthful.
A realisation slowly emerges that a sense of "family" that they never had is perhaps worth much more than a dollar figure.
There's some really great character development in this one, some really funny and totally memorable scenes, and also some damn near heartbreaking ones...though the film comes full circle to a satisfying resolution, and one of the better endings you could expect for all involved.
Very well acted all around, and Valeria Golino has to be one of the hottest things in existence...added bonus...
Really excellent musical score and soundtrack as well, this is one of the best elements of the film in my opinion - really sets the mood of their journey.
This film won four academy awards, and watching it again as an adult, it's not difficult to understand at all.

80's gold right there, I'd suggest it very strongly to anyone that's yet to see it, or hasn't revisited it in a while.

That movie was insane, i loved it. From what i gathered it was supposed to be a parody or satire of sorts of the way Hollywood makes movies. I thought it was pretty funny.

i was going to get this movie but never bothered,but reading you quotes i might have to give it a watch.i like a good b movie.

Very well acted all around, and Valeria Golino has to be one of the hottest things in existence...

Essential Killing (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1561768/) (2010)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/EssentialKilling1.jpg

There's very few dialogs in the movie and particularly Vincent Gallo portraying the protagonist has none...a terrorist who initially captured but luckily escaped and struggle every moment for survival as he finds himself in a forbidding snowbound climate; a totally unknown territory for him. But he avoids his pursuers by every little chance he gets...even when its 'essential' he doesn't hesitate to kill or forcefully drinks a baby's most 'essential' food from his breast-feeding mother in hunger (a jaw dropping sequence)...!

Though aside from that there's nothing much happens in the film where the ending comes suddenly & that may turns out to be somewhat 'disappointing' for some viewers but I must say just for that harrowing sequence it's an essential viewing.

[The Villain]

Carriers.
Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs) and a brief appearance by Chris Meloni (SVU/Harold and Kumar).
Set after the outbreak of a deadly viral epidemic, two brothers along with their respective partners are travelling towards a secluded area in order to live safely without coming into contact with the infected...which of course, they do throughout the course of the movie.
A popular theory seems to be that this is a zombie film, it's not. The infected aren't undead, they aren't in any way superhuman or flesh hungry - In fact the larger threat in this reality is the "normal" people and how they react to the situation...ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances kind of thing - Breakdown of civilisation incited by panic.
So yeah it's really more of a drama/thriller I suppose, it's not without it's exciting and terrifying moments though, with situations presenting themselves that require the characters featured to make some terrible decisions, the choice between humanity and survival coming into play...it's a pretty emotionally charged, and scary film, acheiving it's scares not through cheap jumps, rather by introducing ideas and concepts that will play on the mind of the viewer.

If you've seen films along the lines of "Right at your door", or enjoy films that introduce visions of a morbid reality, you'd probably enjoy this film.
Good for what it was.
I'd give it a 7/10


I thought that movie was pretty boring. It just didnt do enough for me.

So do I. It's the only way I get to catch a lot of films.

Ditto. This is the only available way to catch movies around the world here. The industry here is totally wrecked, IMO! Almost no foreign films gets released in the theaters. I guess most of the viewers here haven't even seen an original dvd in life. All the so called DVD stores are packed with pirated dvds...they just download 'pirated torrent movies' along with the dvd covers and then just copy-paste & sells in the stores in a cheap price. So people got so used to buy & see 'movies in DVDs' in that kind of price range that they can't even think of spending an amount of a standard price of original dvd for their viewing purpose. Moreover, the banks & financial institutions doesn't allow to keep or use an International Credit Card for online purchases. You can have or carry a Credit card to buy things but that's just when you're in abroad. But still I made some desperate efforts to buy original dvds online few years back by sending Cash (USD) via mail which is a very risky & hazardous procedure. Luckily I even bought several number of dvds by contacting with some good sellers at e-bay. But most of the time it took more than expected times (I guess probably for our lazy postal services) to get the package here properly...in most cases 2 to 3 months. But sadly I even lost quite a large amount of cash after some 'failed/missing delivery' and last year or the year before that when I was finally realized that I'm not getting the package of Coffin Joe's Coffin-box set along with some other cool dvds then I finally stopped buying Original dvds online through sending cash via mail.
Now it has been almost a year I bought a laptop and started downloading Pirated torrents and watching films whichever I want or find online. It has been a great rescue for a movie fan like me.

So...Long live Pirated Torrents!:)

Cold Fish (http://asianmediawiki.com/Cold_Fish) (2011)

Making films like Suicide Club (2002), Strange Circus (2005) and Noriko's Dinner Table (2005) Sion Sono has become one of the most thought-provoking film makers in today's world cinema who often explored a large variety of controversial themes within his films that have established him as a director that isn't afraid to the push the boundaries of cinema to its utmost extreme.

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/ColdFishPoster20102nd.jpg

Sono is a director with genius of showing a grasp of multiple genres when creating his films. Ranging from action, horror, comedy and drama--and in many cases a combination of several of them--Sono has developed a style of film making that has remain distinctively his, and with this latest film Cold Fish, Sono has once again explores the dark, tragic and horrific sides of the human condition, a character study of an individual negatively influenced by his oppressive surroundings. But unlike his above mentioned other films Cold Fish isn't that much hypothetical or mysterious in story telling; it unfolds the story & the characters in an easier & straight forward fashion.
The story loosely based on the case around the true-life "Saitama serial murders of dog lovers", a series of four gruesome murders carried about by doghttp://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/ColdFishPoster2010.jpg[/IMG]

The film slowly explores a shattering downfall to the human psyche as one continually views or assist in homicidal actions--which provide a relatively genuine look into how such exposure can turn a simple individual into a monstrous force of destruction. It examines what drives some individuals to murder when pushed to the utter edges of human depravity, where savagery seems like the only 'credible' solution.

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/CF2.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/CF1.jpg

Unlike other stereotypical serial killer genre films, almost two & half hour longCold Fish pushes further the perception of human behavior & following action and give us a gut-wrenching tale of murder, greed and psychological torment where only Sono can treat quite a number of disturbing elements with comedic ease and that even makes the film all the more captivating, filled with a bucket...nope! I should say a fully loaded tank of blood & dismembered body parts.

"The Long Ride Home" (2003)
-Randy Travis

Plot:
Mistaken for a gunfighter, farmer Jack Fowler kills a man in self defense, then abandons his family and goes on the run and leads the the life of a shootist until he finally makes his way back home.

Phantom's Review: Despite being beautifully filmed and having a good cast, this film is very slow moving. It lacks any real action or tension. It's not a BAD movie, it's just..kinda dull. Randy Travis does sing a nice song over the ending credits.

Anthropophagous: The Grim Reaper AKA The Beast

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g432/Travis_Lake/anthropophagus.jpg

I enjoyed it. Good build up although a little slow at points. It was able to maintain its creepiness even after they revealed the killer although i probably didnt find him as freaky looking as most people might because to me he looked like a demented version of my ex-girlfriends father. I think they should have built up the blind girl's ability to smell him although that might have turned it a little gimmicky.

*Side note - I had to keep re-editing this because i couldnt get the damn spelling right. IMDB has it different then the poster. Decided to just make it the same as the poster to avoid confusion. Still dont know which one is right or how to pronounce that mouthful of a word.*

I think the reason for the difference is because that's the French poster, which defaults to the English spelling of the word with "-phagous". In America, I've always seen it spelled "Anthropophagus".

A Clockwork Orange

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g432/Travis_Lake/cloc4.jpg

I've been meaning to see this movie for a really long time unfortunately whenever i hear a lot of hype for a movie i lose interest. However as is obvious i love Villains and i kept hearing about how great a villain Alex was and how amazing Malcolm McDowell is in the role so i finally decided to watch it.

I am now very mad at myself for not seeing this movie sooner. Amazing, thought provoking, disturbing, perverse, engrossing. These are all words i think about towards this movie. Everything in this movie is just incredible especially the acting. People were not kidding when they said McDowell's performance was perfect. Every little mannerism he performed gave new range and life to Alex and made him such a complex character. I honestly couldn't tell at times what he was thinking and what he was going to do.

I loved this movie. I now have a new favorite movie and favorite villain.

I never liked The Shining but that's because i loved the book and hated what Kubrick did to it.

I'm in the minority that loved BOTH the book and the film. I understand the movie was very different but I was very impressed with the direction Kubrick took it. I suppose its because I see them both as seperate entities so I don't compare them.

Thats fair. To be honest, its actually a very good movie and pretty creepy. What i dont like is how the movie seems to get more credit then the book and people attribute and reference the movie especially aspects that were not in the novel. I enjoyed the book so much more then the movie and i dont think it gets the respect it deserves in comparison to how much praise the movie gets. I think that just made me bitter towards it.

[Fearonsarms]

That's understandable I see where you are coming from the book is one of King's best I think. It does deserve just as much love as the film gets.

"Batman: Under The Red Hood" (2010)

Plot: IMDB

Batman faces his ultimate challenge as the mysterious Red Hood takes Gotham City by firestorm. One part vigilante, one part criminal kingpin, Red Hood begins cleaning up Gotham with the efficiency of Batman, but without following the same ethical code. Killing is an option. And when the Joker falls in the balance between the two, hard truths are revealed and old wounds are reopened.

Phantom's Review: I've been a "Batman" fan/collector for about 45 years now and while I do enjoy most of the live action films I have to admit I think the Direct to DVD animated films are probably closest to the actual character. Based on a comic book story arc, this film is really well made with a good story and some fine voice acting. A very enjoyable film.

Godmonster of Indian Flats (1973)

I had never heard of this turkey before. It's currently on demand in the Cult section on Comcast. One of the absolute worst, but it's hilarious. The monster is a mutated, deformed sheep monster that stands upright and it's so rediculous looking it will evoke howls of laughter. It's a bit of a sleeper up until the last 20 minutes, but if you stick it out you won't regret it.

Watched the last episode of Masterpiece Mystery! Sherlock... I wish it would be an ongoing series though, I LOVE the actors and the twists on the classic stories. If anybody hasn't watched it, there's 3 "episodes" but they're all little movies, 90 minutes long, and they're fantastic. Also finished The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, watched them all together and it really felt like this show was an animated version of what we might see from the movie.

"Devil" (2010)
Plot: IMDB
In Philadelphia, Detective Bowden is still grieving for his wife and son, killed in a hit-and-run five years ago. When someone jumps from a skyscraper onto a truck, Bowden is sent to investigate. Meanwhile, five strangers are trapped in an elevator in the building where the jumper committed suicide. The communication radio in the elevator is broken but the guards, Lustig and Ramirez, observe the individuals via CCTV as events unfold. Tensions run high among those trapped, so Lustig calls the police and Detective Bowden assumes the case. Without being able to contact the individuals, he tries to work out who they are, but he can only account for four of them. Time is running out for the occupants of the elevator, as Bowden realizes he has to get them out quickly.

Phantom's Review: Much to my shock and surprise, this turned out to be a very effective thriller. When I first heard this film, it's plot and The fact that it "Came From The Mind Of M.Night Shyamalan" I pretty much skipped it. But thankfully cable TV allows you to catch up with certain films and I'm glad about that. No major FX, just good acting ,an interesting story and some nice suspense.

It was enjoyable just like the others but i was upset that they messed up the Elder Wand ending. I felt that was important when i read the book and either they changed it for their own purposes or just didnt understand it. Either way, i was unhappy. But i liked the movie for what it was just as i enjoyed the others.

Dead Snow
Machete
loved these two, highly entertaining.

decent effort from Olaf Ittenbach. Jurgen Prochnows career must be in the gutter if he agrees to act in these kinda films though.

I've always seen the DVD around, always been intrigued by the cover but assumed it was shit, gonna try it out now.

The Tunnel
I heard good things about the movie and was really interested in watching it. Instead of watching it online, I decided to buy a copy and I'm glad I did. It reminds me a lot like Lake Mungo, by showing the footage they captured and also interviewing them. I thought it was great movie and could watch this many times. I'd definitely recommend watching it.

Murder 2 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1918965/) (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/murderII.jpg

Had a nice little trip to Kolkata, India from July 15 to 19 with friends. Saw couple of films in the theaters but this one surprised me...an uncredited loose remake of Korean thriller The Chaser (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190539/)! In compare to other Indian remakes of foreign films this one actually wasn't that bad. They have made some changes in the storyline which focused more on the 'relationship' between the hero (ex-cop) and his girl...the heroin, played by a hot Sri Lankan Model.

"The Sons Of Katie Elder" (1965)
-John Wayne

Plot: IMDB
The Elder boys return to Clearwater, Texas for their Mother's funeral. John the eldest is a well known gunfighter and trouble follows him wherever he goes. The boys try to get back their ranch from the towns gunsmith who won it from their father in a card game with which he was shortly murdered there after but not before getting through the troubles that come with the Elders name.

Phantom's Review: One of Wayne's best 1960's westerns. Good acting, great story, plenty of action, some nice doses of humor and solidly directed by Henry Hathaway. Highly enjoyable for fans of the western genre.

"Paranormal Activity 2" (2010)

Plot: IMDB
Daniel Rey along with his wife, Kristi; daughter, Ali; toddler son, Hunter, and their dog, move to Carlsbad, California. A few days later their residence is broken into, however, nothing appears to be missing. In order to prevent re-occurrences, they install a number of security cameras that will record everything on a DVR. After they hire a Spanish-speaking nanny to look after Hunter, she informs them that there is something wrong in their house and performs prayers, much to the chagrin of Daniel, who lets her go. He will subsequently regret this decision as more inexplicable and strange incidents occur, with Ali concluding, after a research, that their house may be possessed by a demonic entity.

Phantom's Review: Essentially, this film works as both a prequel AND a sequel to the original film. (those who have seen it understand, those who haven't, well, go see it) While not quite as good as the original, this film still is an effective thriller. The acting seems realistic, and the minimal FX are well done. Perfect to watch at home, late at night with the lights off. I love haunted house stories and this is a good one.

I thought PA2 was boring. How many times do we have to see shots of the living room, kitchen and pool with nothing happening? It became so repetitive and took away from the suspense. It seemed like the makers didn't know how to fill in time.

"The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr" (1993)
-Bruce Campbell

Plot:
When U.S. Marshal Brisco County, Sr. is murdered by John Bly and his gang of outlaws, the robber barons of San Francisco's Westerfield Club hire Brisco County, Jr. as a bounty hunter to round them up. Brisco meets a lot of interesting people along the way, including rival bounty hunter Lord Bowler, and the Westerfield Club's stuffy lawyer, Socrates Poole. He also learns of a mysterious object which John Bly would do anything to possess, for the supernatural power it can give him.

Phantom's Review" Pilot film for the short lived, but absolutely brilliant, Sci-Fi Western. Despite only lasting one season, this is one of my favorite shows. The pilot (like the whole series) is filled with action, humor and a great sense of fun. Not your traditional western, but then. it wasn't supposed to be.

Ichi the Killer

I think this was a good film. The violence was gruesome for sure but it actually had a narrative and themes as well so certainly wasn't just the shock film I was expecting having known very little about it.

It was a very strange and the motivation of the man controlling Ichi weren't really very good.

Overall, 7/10

"Captain America: The First Avenger"(2011)
-Chris Evans

During World War II ,Frail, skinny Steve Rogers is chosen to become the first of a new breed of super soldier,when the scientist who made the super soldier formula is killed, Rogers instead becomes a costumed hero fighting the Nazis

Phantom's Review: I've been a comic fan and collector for about 45 years now, and while I have read some "Captain America" books during that time, I have never been a real fan, (my personal favorite comics have always been "Batman", "Grimjack" and "Jonah Hex") But I went and saw this movie anyway, mostly because I think the director is good. Well I;m glad I went. This movie is a blast. Not only are the action and special FX top notch, but the story is very well written.and all the actors do an impressive job. This is high quality entertainment.

[ABjerg]

The Figher - Movie is kinda boring, but there's some superb actin' in it though.

Opstandelsen (The Resurrection) - Because it's danish it was a pretty fun horror/gore movie, but there wasn't really any concept or anythin'.
It was cool though.


Gonna 'maybe' see Julia's Eyes today.

[Bizarre]

REC

Awesome film.

The filming style has been overplayed a bit now with the likes of Cloverfield but I think it is far better than any other film I've seen in this style. It is short, straight to the point and the lack of emotion regarding "I've been bitten, do I tell anyone?" that is so common in zombie films is gladly missing. I was really on the edge of my seat waiting for things to happen, it is a seriously suspenseful film.

Highly recommended, though I'm sure most have seen it already.

I liked how they used a roller coaster accident in this one since a lot of people are afraid of them. However i thought the scene of the accident was a little disappointing. I liked how they referenced the first one and even the second one briefly. The camera thing was a nice touch as i think they should all have their own little gimmicks. I didn't really like the ending as i hate skip-aheads and so far all of them have used this idea.

A solid entertaining Scream fun! Loved it!
In compare to meaningless SAW sequels (part 4 to 7) I personally don't mind to see some more Scream sequels in future.

I hated Scream 4. It felt more like a parody of the other ones then a good sequel.

Thought it was boring and had awful acting, though the last 20-30 minutes were good!

Room 205: I recently picked it up at big lots for only 3 dollars and when watched I was pleasently amused. The first half drags a bit but when it gets to the second half It is a great thrilling rollercoaster ride. Grade: B+

I didn't hate it, but I thought at very least after this long a killer with a half decent motivation would have been written in...I mean it was bad enough in the case of the third one which I particularly dislike as well - I mean COME ON...some long lost brother with abandonment issues?
Wouldn't Sidney just have sympathised and agreed "yeah, that was fucked up of our mother...", being at the loss of having never met a brother, knowing he was lied to as well?
You'd at least think that since the killer seemed to show a bit more intelligence and balls than the former killers, handling everything on his own, being right at the scene of a few of the murders and pulling it off, you would think that maybe, he'd at very least consider the situation before deciding to kill her.

As for the killers motivation in the fourth one...complete shit...even worse.
That said I didn't mind it, the whole scream franchise has been taking the piss one way or another so that it came off as a parody is fine by me...in my opinion scream did "scary movie" before Scary Movie did, SM just did it in a way that was "scream for dummies".
But yeah I'd have liked for a half decent plot to be there fourth time around, to lift it from the third one, but, nope, didn't happen.

Personally I haven't really liked a Scream movie since the second.

I agree with you on all of that. I think my biggest problem was i love the first one, liked the second one, didnt like the third and since hearing about the fourth i was really excited and had a lot of expectations going in. That was essentially my downfall. I'm sure if i hadnt hyped myself up so much i probably could've enjoyed in on some level, or maybe not. Maybe it really was just that bad. There really was nothing i liked about it especially the killer. Definitely the worst of all three.

Yeah the last part was pretty freaky although the digging scene went on way too long. I actually fast forwarded.
