Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

"Cowboys And Aliens" (2011)
-Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde

Plot: IMDB
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been...

Phantom's Review: HOT DAMN! This is the coolest movie I've seen in years. Now, everyone here, should know by now, that I love westerns. but I also love Science Fiction/Horror movies too, and I think it's very cool when these genres are mixed, unfortunately, 8 times out of 10 the result is pretty bad, but not this time. Plenty of great western action, good story line and excellent special FX. Harrison Ford was born to play in westerns, Daniel Craig is also very impressive and Olivia Wilde is absolutely gorgeous. This film may not be for everyone, but for me it was awesome.

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

I hear ya on the digging scene. The idea was great, but they failed so bad on it. It was wayyy too long, shouldve been cut in half. Also, Amy was so annoying, saying all this ridiculous jibberish that I was actually happy with the end result.

[siorai]

Your Highness:

Holy crap what a terrible movie. I had to turn it off about ten minutes in and try again the next day. I really wish I would have left it at the craptastic ten minute mark and never gone back. I honestly cannot think of one reason to recommend this movie to anyone. Well ok, Natalie Portman did a good job, but that bring sup a serious question. Why the hell would she do this movie? The same goes for Zooey Deschanel. The infantile weed, swearing, and dick jokes were just way too much. I have just one thing to add: minortaur penis. That's right. Min-o-taur PENIS. Yeah. Pretty funny stuff. For an eight year-old. Or maybe a stoner I guess? Either way, I'm neither so this movie sucked pretty hardcore which is too bad because it looked pretty fun.


Wrong Turn 1,2, and 3:

I picked these up on bluray since it was a set for $20. The first one was fairly good, but it rapidly went downhill from there. The second and third were quite cornball direct-to-dvd quality. I just wish that the inbred hillbillies weren't so stupidly comical. They went too far with them. I think the movies would have been more terrifying if the hillbillies were actually believable. As it was they were about as scary as a muppet that had some dirt rubbed on it.

[kelvecion]

Last seen horror movie? The howling, last night. Still love the Eddie Quist character and the transformation scene. I always get the feeling the movie is underrated.:confused:

My all-time favorite horror movie. I agree with your feeling that it's underrated, I feel the same way.

Last movie watched for me was Alien.

No it had great potential - I was really looking forward to it as it had 2 actors I really like (James Purefoy + Brian Cox). The fight seens were bloody and well done but the plot was by the numbers and pretty dull..

If you have read the graphic novel (yes it's based on one which came out in 2006 and is actually a pretty good read), you should know what the storyline is all about. In fact, the title pretty much describes what the movie is about.

But don't let the very-apparent cheesy title fool you. Jon Favreau has done a stupendous job after the Iron Man films in making this nice little gem which is a mishmash of three very prominent genres (sci-fi, western & action), and genre heavyweights Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell and Clancy Brown give the film an added push in terms of quality by their screen presence. The effects perfectly complement the film, and the music and cinematography add to the wonderful mood and atmosphere the film carries throughout. Keep an eye out for Olivia Wilde - she is a real stunner.

In short, go watch this film in the theaters. You will come out with a smile on your face.

"The Batman/Superman Movie: Worlds Finest" (1996)
-Kevin Conroy. Tim Daley

Plot: IMDB
Joker, short on money for his criminal endeavors, strikes a deal with Lex Luthor to kill Superman. Batman tracks Joker to Metropolis and alerts Superman to the Joker's plan. After initial distrust of each other, the World's Finest team up to thwart the villains by night. By day, Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent clash over the attention of Lois Lane.

Phantom's Review: The first of the modern era animated team-ups of Batman and Superman. A terrific film for fans. Wonderful animation, good story, plenty of action and the voice actors do a great job of bringing these characters to life. Very enjoyable.

[Mogwai]

The acting, the stupid cheesy one-liners, the nauseating visuals, the writing, the characters, the entire thing.........

I agree with you on the acting. It was either just god awful or extremely exaggerated, except for Rutger Hauer, who I thought was great. Cheesy one-liners....that's expected. I had no problems with the visuals, in fact, I actually enjoyed them. There were both good and bad characters, more bad IMO. I've heard a lot of criticism about "The Plague", but I thought they were a great addition. Overall, I thought it was a fantastic movie and I'm glad to add it to my collection, but I could see why some people didn't enjoy it. :)

The worst of the series. This was just terrible. The acting, the dialogue, the writing...its all bad. The movie focuses so much on the 3D and just completely ignores the story which is why i hate 3D movies. The deaths in this one are also really stupid and unrealistic and i know that the deaths are supposed to be over the top but in the others they always seemed plausible. In this one stuff happens for apparently no reason. This is the only one i havent liked. Hopefully the fifth will be better.

[cheebacheeba]

The worst of the series. This was just terrible.
I agree...and the big build up was over...a fire in a mall cinema?
No atmosphere, and characters you didn't give a shit about one way or another.
I thought the third one was pretty bad too - but not THIS bad.


Last night I saw a 2008 french short film called "Dix".
One of the strangest things I've ever seen...I'd recommend it, if anyone can obtain a copy, not sure where you'd look for short films...

Exactly. I couldnt care less about the characters and that ending was pretty bad. These movies are just getting progressively worse. They're just like the Saw movies. All about the deaths and nothing else with each movie getting steadily worse...although i did think that Saw 7 was better then 4,5, and 6 but that's a different conversation all together.

[The_Return]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

In a lot of ways this could be the worst major movie I've seen in a very long time - the script ranges from painfully cheesy at best to nothing short of pandering at worst - and even though the cast list is phenomenal, most of their talents go completely wasted.

But, on the other hand...this could be one of the best movies I've seen this year. Normally I'm not big on CGI, but the motion capture work here is stunning - Andy Serkis's performance as Caesar was absolutely breathtaking. I can't even begin to describe how impressed I was not just with the effects, but with every movement, every look, every expression...everything came through with such an incredible power that the flaws of the movie just seemed to disappear.

On top of that, once the real action scenes get started...nothing else really matters. I'll admit that I'm a sucker for large-scale destruction, but only when its done well - and believe me when I say that this is some of the best I've seen.

I was genuinely surprised at how much I loved this movie...went in expecting very, very little and left thoroughly impressed. If you can look past the flaws, which aren't too difficult to forget, this one shouldn't be missed.

It sounds like a silly premise but its actually a very serious movie about a man going through a mental breakdown during a depression. If this movie doesnt get Mel Gibson's career back on track i don't know what will. His performance is amazing. He puts so much emotion into every scene he is in even when talking through the puppet. This is an incredible movie and anyone who lets Gibson's indiscretions keep them from seeing the movie is missing out.

We Are What We Are: (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1620604/)

Awesome movie. Very brooding and intense. Not your typical cannibal movie. It's not without it's flaws though. Spoiler: It was quite unbelievable that they would suddenly forget about Gustavo. Of course if he didn't escape then the whole last quarter of the movie wouldn't have happened, but still I thought it was a very weak way to progress the story. Even with such a gaping plot hole, I loved this movie. It is quite simple, but highly effective.

Strigoi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117636/) (2009)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/strigoi-poster.jpg

Strigoi is about Vlad, a failed med student who returns to his small Romanian hometown and ends up in the middle of a murder mystery. Vlad investigates a mysterious death in his grandfather's village that raises questions about land ownership in the community that somewhat beautifully captures a universal tone of village politics. The trail points to ex-communist Consantin Tirescu and his wife, but when Vlad confronts them, he discovers that the richest landowners in the village have become something other than a living human being.
But the thing is thought there are some certain horror elements but this isn;t actually a horror film at all. It is more of a slow burn dark comedy that's currently facing marketing mishandling; as far I've noticed the movie has been pitched as a vampire flick and when people will pick it up for that reason then they will be sorely disappointed for sure.
If you have any kind of appreciation for a fun and interesting story embodied in a well-crafted & well-acted film, then you should give it a try. Other than that skip it.

Green Lantern
It's liked it, some very impressive effects.
Minor complaints were that I think Ryan Reynolds was miscast as Hal Jordan, and the use of constructs vs "firing green energy" was kind of lacking.
The cast was ok, and it served as an alright (if not chronologically unusual) origin movie. It was enjoyable.

"Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" (2011)
-James Franco

Plot: IMDB

An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

Phantom's Review: Sci-Fi fans rejoice! "Planet Of The Apes" is back and it's kicking ass! Terrific, well made origin film. Great FX. well written (and sorta plausible) story, fine acting (Andy Serkis as Cesar is amazing) and some damn good action scenes Far, far Superior to that God awful "re-imaging" of the original film made 10 years ago. This is an "Apes" worthy of the franchise. Can't wait for the next one.

Don’t Let Him In (2011)

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

Though the title may sounds like a sequel to the 2010 Matt Reeves film Let Me In but this is a low budget indie Britt horror where two couples spend a weekend in the country and become potential victims of a serial killer known as The Tree Surgeon. Not bad but could have been interesting if they could punched up the suspense levels somewhat more in the middle. The ending was a disappointment also.

La herencia Valdemar II: La sombra prohibida aka The Valdemar Legacy II: The Forbidden Shadow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1727800/) (2010)

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

If I consider only the visuals & special effects part of the film then this is a pretty decent watch indeed but the problem is there was a clear rush in the development of the story where it seems they wanted to tell so much more in a limited time period. But the funny thing is this a sequel of The Valdemar Legacy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242744/) and in that 1st part they already wasted a good amount of reel in portraying the back story of the Valdemar family which they could shown in a 5 to 10 minutes flashback rather than making a complete movie-part out of it.
Anyway, the sad thing is they had a fantastic premise & a decent bunch of cast to make a great film based on Lovecraft's universe...specially when the plot elements include Necronomicon to Mythos of Cthulhu aka Outer Gods and Great Old Ones! Although the overall package may let down the original fans of the Rhode Island's great writer but I think it's worth a watch at least...the Cthulhu attack in the final segment was pretty entertaining, IMO.

Super 8. It was like a mix between E.T. and the Goonies. I really enjoyed it - the child acting was superb, and the direction was great. My only issue was that, whilst the "slow reveal" by Abrams is almost Jaws-worthy in it's suspense, the eventual "monster" is uninspired and the same thing we've been seeing for the last 5-6 years. Where are the Gigers of this generation of film making?!

Despite not coming from that era, even watching this film I got a sense of that nostalgia. It seemed to capture the time very well. But yeah, I agree with you about the ending - although the stoner character did make the last act pretty entertaining.

But lately I got a sms & e-mail from my internet provider & they just informed me that (to ensure a minimum level of smooth connection to its all users) if I download more than 30 GB in a month then they'll slow down the speed drastically to 128 kbps for the rest of that month!! That sucks! as I've already downloaded more than 22 GB this month so far.:(

Super 8 (2011)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/SUPER8.jpg

One of the best films of the year so far, IMO. Loved the 80's set up & loved its beautiful & simple story that delivered a fantastic homage to Spielberg's 2 best creations to date. But the interesting thing is while watching & enjoying the film last night, I cared pretty less for a major element of the story...the alien. I really wasn't that much bothered about it...when it'll show up next time on the screen or why it's acting so crazy or what would happen to it later. The thing is the heart of the movie is it's assembling of excellent bunch of child actors who totally carried the film all the way. It's not the alien; it is the character of Joe Lamb and the other kids in the cast who delivered the magic & kept the nostalgic momentum throughout the film. Kudos to them for their marvelous job.

Quarantine 2: Terminal
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g432/Travis_Lake/quarantine2-poster-535x792.jpg

It follows the same basic formula as the first except without the found footage technique which may be a good idea since that genre has become over saturated. However i feel it is a part of what made the first one as good as it was. I like that it is going on its own instead of just continuing to remake REC but if they're shooting for a franchise i just dont see what else they can do from this point on and still make it fresh and exciting. Besides that, the characters were annoying and the acting was pretty bad. Good effort but a bad job in the end. I prefer REC 2.

The Deaths of Ian Stone (2007)

Never really got into any of the the After Dark stuff...unless I'm forgetting something (which is quite possible, heh) I'm pretty sure this is the first one I've actually got around to checking out. Glad I did though...pretty cool movie.

Every review I've seen tends to liken it to a mix of Groundhog Day/Dark City/Jacob's Ladder/Butterfly Effect/The Matrix (take your pick), and even though it did obviously take inspiration from a bunch of different places, I still found it surprising original compared to a lot of modern horror. The concept kind of fell apart toward the end, (SPOILER: Really would have liked something a little better than the same ol' "love conquers all" cliché.) but overall I thought it was really well-executed.

The acting could have used some work here and there - the main villain chick really brought down the whole final act, and even though I thought the CGI monsters were pretty damn cool, they got a little overdone by the end. I had fun with it though, not a bad movie at all.

The 2nd was better, but the breed-thing was stupid and ruined it imo.

If.... (1968)

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh11/RubberSoul28/if-poster.jpg

My personal favorite film of all time, If takes place in a British boarding school, where Mick Travis (played by Malcolm McDowell, who is fantastic as usual) and his fellow "degenerates" revolt against the "whips" (seniors of the school who dominate their classmates) and the authorities of the school.

If is a very fascinating and unique film. The style is most noteworthy in the way the film switches between black and white to color, seemingly for no reason.

A very dark and surreal film, highly recommended.

Days of Heaven (1978)

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh11/RubberSoul28/DaysOfHeaven_US1.jpg

Days of Heaven tells the story of Bill and Abby a couple posing as brother and sister in beginning of the century America who travel south to Texas to escape poverty. They find work in the fields and harvest crops, on the farm of a wealthy man who falls in love with Abby and sets off a chain of violence and jealousy.

Directed in a visually stunning way by Terrence Malick, Days of Heaven has some of the most breathtaking poetic cinematography in film history.

-9/10

Down by Law (1986)

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh11/RubberSoul28/3277551020A.jpg

One of the first films I've seen by Jim Jarmusch, I was very pleasantly surprised by this little gem.

The story is pretty simple, three men (two of which were set up, and one of which murdered a man in self defense) are sent to prison in Louisiana, and plan to escape to freedom.

A very idiosyncratic ensemble (Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni), a very minimalist approach, and the melancholy mood throughout make this film a very interesting viewing experience.

Closed for the Season (2010)

The idea was decent as it centers around a forgotten-abandoned amusement park and even it had several scenes shot at the long-closed Chippewa Lake Park-Ohio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chippewa_Lake_Park), and featured some of the park's derelict attractions as backgrounds. But this low budget horror feature is quite lengthy (almost 2 hrs!) with a kind of repetitive materials and that made it pretty dull overall.

I thought that the reason why they switched from black and white to color was that they ran out of money... The color scenes were shot first, then they ran out of funds and shot everything else in black and white.

It was one of my dad's favorite films of all time - he was the one that told me that story. Been a while since I've seen it.

Maybe, who knows. In an article I was reading it said that the cinematographer wasn't able to guarantee color consistency in a lot of the church scenes, so the director decided to switch back and forth throughout the film for aesthetic reasons.

Womb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216520/) (2010)

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

Womb is a very slow burn & totally unconventional romantic drama with art house treatments...little dialogue, quiet gaps and some beautiful long shot cinematography where you'll find Eva Green with an award worthy performance. An easy summary would be this is about a woman's inability to cope with a loss which leads her to clone her boyfriend in an attempt to hold onto a relationship she had recently regained after twelve years of separation. Though that may sounds quite simple & romantic but at the end (with an unclear rationalization about the true motives of the lead character & her confusing constant aging factor) it all turned out quite a bit of emotionally as well as morally complex subject matter for its viewer.

"The change-up" 7/10

Quite a few LOL moments, amusing (not too original) story and some very nice performances from the 2&a-half in the leads.



"Saw 3-7" 8-9/10

Before this Saw marathon i'd only seen the first one. Coz although i thought it was a very well made horror movie this cruel torture genre really isn't my cup of tea.

But I must say, that as soon as i started watching the third installment i was hooked. I really liked how all the directors made an effort knitting all the movies together, no matter how far out and fucked up it became (seriously, this jigsaw dude must've been one stressed out mastermind.) Also, the high pacing in all the movies didn't make it worse either.

I really don't understand why the 7th movie is called the final one, coz it enden just as open as all the others. I'm sure we're gonna see an 8 in the near future. And to me, that wouldn't be a bad thing, even tho the 7th might be the worst ine the franchise. So fuck yea, keep em coming.

Phantom's Review: One of my all time favorite movies and my favorite John Carpenter film. Despite it's low budget, this film has got plenty of action, decent FX (for it's time and budget) and one of the coolest Anti-Hero's in the history of movies.."Snake" Plissken. A classic of it's kind.

Really liked this film - Had a great narrative and was a fantastic character piece. The script is actually quite minimal, but the performances are so strong and the environment so vivid that you hardly notice.

This is a slow-burner that focuses on character, emotion, and the world it creates. Definitely dark, but I like this angle of the vampire mythos.

Highly recommended.

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587707/)


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


Utterly captivating and well-constructed "documentary" on street art and the manufacturing of art as a consumer product... Documentary is in quotation marks because it is speculative as to how much of the film is a true documentary and how much is an elaborate prank perpetrated by Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Thierry Guetta.



I believe that the movie truly started out as a documentary by Thierry Guetta, though the latter half wherein he transforms into Mr. Brainwash, I believe this persona was created with the help of Banksy and Fairey to comment on how the reproduction of art still creates a stir amongst the consumers and how owning a piece of a Persona is more important than the trashy art itself. Also, it's poking fun of self-indulgent and/or derivative artists... I love the references to Warhol and his commentary on mass production of art.


Ultimately, I found the finished product to be utterly brilliant. HIGHLY recommended.

The last two films I saw were both Andy Milligan produced, directed, written, edited, recorded messes that just squeak into the Modern Horror Film category: The Bloodthirsty Butchers (1970) and The Rats Are Coming, The Werewolves Are Here! (1972). The first is an awful retelling of the Sweeney Todd murders, the second is a could-have-been-better, if-only-he-had-any-talent-as-a-writer story about a family of werewolves. Sad, angry and weird, Andy Milligan. (Not that I'll quit watching his films. Torture Dungeon is next). :eek:

Wow, what a piece of shit. Some of the worst acting I've seen in a long time.

[hueyisme]

I watched one called Sorority Row last night. It was the usual slasher movie, people getting done by a whacko with a modified tire iron but it was better made than most of those movies. What made it interesting Carrie Fisher from the original Star Wars was in it. She was a fox in those films but in Sorority Row she's a overweight, frumpy old woman. She had one good line, "You dont f--- with me, Im house mother to 50 crazy bitches!" 4 out of 5.

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/AWarningtotheCurious72.jpg

An amateur archaeologist goes to a remote Norfolk town to search for the lost crown of Anglia, but at every turn he finds his movements tracked by a mysterious stranger dressed in black.

This is a very fine BBC adaptation of a M.R. James story. Though only 50 minutes long but there are some pretty effectively creepy set pieces. Highly recommended to those who love old fashioned atmospheric ghost stories.

"Red Riding Hood" (2011)
-Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Shiloh Fernandez



Plot: IMDB

Valerie (Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon... Written by Warner Bros. Pictures

Phantom's Review: I gotta be honest with you, I really didn't know what to expect from this film when we watched it. Was it going to be a "Wolfman" style "guts and gore" horror flick? Or some sort of lame "Twilight" type of film. Much to my surprise, the film seemed to follow a murder mystery type of format with almost the entire village locked behind walls and the werewolf is someone on the inside. You get a bunch of suspects to choose from and the director leads you in different directions as you try and figure it out. The film is beautifully shot and is surprisingly good, both in story and acting.
The romance angle is a little cliche', but the ending is interesting. Overall, I liked it.

Fright Night (2011)

I was really, really looking forward to this one...the trailers were great, and after In Bruges I've really been a fan of Colin Ferrell. I thought this could be one of those rare "good" remakes...and, as far as I'm concerned, it turned out great.

The start of the movie, however, is undeniably awful. Painful dialog delivered by horrible "teen" actors - even our hero Charley Brewster seems pathetic. The only thing that works right of the start is Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin') as Evil Ed - turns out the kid is becoming a pretty decent actor, and he's perfect for the part.

It stays pretty damn bad for a good long while - basically until Jerry really gets a chance to kick some ass, at which point it pulls at complete 180. Colin Ferrell plays a great monster, and even though it can get pretty corny at times, his Jerry has such an animal charisma that it sucks you right in. And once Charlie meets up with Peter Vincent (the always badass David Tennant, being awesome), it doesn't stop getting better right up to the ending.

They manage to stay faithful to the original too, surprisingly. It updates a lot of course and some details are changed up here and there, but all things considered it stays pretty close.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I thought this was a damn good remake - and just an overall blast of an action-packed horror comedy. If you can suffer through some horrible acting/dialog here and there, you should have a lot of fun.

Now very much looking forward for the Fast Six.

"Conan The Barbarian" (2011)
-Jason Momoa

Plot: IMDB



The tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.

Phantom's Review: Awesome! This was a great movie. Exactly what I wanted in a Conan movie. A story right out of the pulps, extreme violence, gallons of gore, evil witches,sorcery, sword fights and lots of naked woman.
Jason Momoa is fine as Conan (his style/look is more Barry Windsor-Smith, than John Buscema) and the film is shot well. I enjoyed it a lot.

[Bizarre]

Just watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

It was good, very good even. The ending was a little anticlimatic but I'm under the impression there is a sequel already in the works so it makes sense really. Plus, there is some extra parts after the initial credits so be sure to stick around for a little bit. This sets the scene for a follow up nicely. The CGI is frankly, amazing. The few laughable parts are, I think, a result of the difficulty of showing increasing intelligence. For that reason, I don't think the film should be criticised as they did well with a difficult idea. They just pushed it a little too far and it became a tad farcical.

[Angra]

Yeah - see em all. I love MR James.

All the adaptations except the last one are really goot

:Blackbeard, The Pirate" (1952)
-Robert Newton, Linda Darnell

Plot: IMDB
In 1674, "reformed" pirate Sir Henry Morgan is a high official in Jamaica, but Edward Maynard hopes to win a large reward by proving Morgan still dabbles in piracy. Maynard goes undercover as ship's surgeon with a Morgan henchman...who's been supplanted by notorious Blackbeard himself. Also on the ship is Edwina Mansfield, seemingly a damsel in distress, to whom there's much more than meets the eye.

Phantom's Review: Good old fashioned swashbuckling adventure. Robert Newton (of "Treasure Island" fame) does his patented pirate act and is lots of fun. Barely an ounce of truth in this "true" story, but lots of pirate fun . (plus Linda Darnell is gorgeous)

"The stalls of Barchester" 3/10

Contained much more dialogue than "Whistle and i'll come to you", but was equally dull nevertheless.




"Lost hearts" 8/10


Now THIS one was really, really good. Had some eerie moments that probably woul've scared the living crap out of me if i'd been around 10. But i'm 34, so i could take it. :cool:

Romper Stomper

This movie is a classic, I know it did ok overseas when it was realesed but probably has been overlokked since. I urge anyone who hasn't seen it to do so, I see it as an Australian Clockwork Orange.

10/10

Australian Clockwork Orange is all you had to say for me to give this a look.

It was pretty good

I think it had just the right amount. Nothing I would want changed about this movie.

How would you include more violence with out disrupting the story?

This is going to sound really weird, but a neo-nazi punk (one of my friends neighbors) recommended this to me years ago. Now before you get the wrong Idea, we talked to him because we were both into punk and he defiantly looked punk, so we went over to his house and talked to him (only once). This was one of the movies on his list of best movies ever. We checked it out to see what it was about, there were really good scenes, but some of it was boring, like him drooling over Mein Kampf. Anyway, when Russel Crow got big, we were like, hey I know that guy, he was from Romper Stomper.

sleepaway camp

going to watch sleepaway camp 2 and 3, still not ever watched them yet.

[Bizarre]

I watched "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" on BBC2 last night.

I liked the film generally but I think some characters were unsure of their actual motivations. I think that the mother character didn't really work. She didn't seem to hold any Nazi values at all despite being the wife of the commandant of what it presumably Auschwitz. That she didn't know of or approve of the extermination was fine, and realistic. That she didn't seem to have any negative feelings towards the Jews seemed to be at odds with what her character should have been. She seemed upset at the labour camp enough before realizing that it was an extermination camp. This would have worked had it been a regular German family, because of course not everyone was fanatically devoted to the regime. She seemed a bit too unsure and clueless for the wife of a commandant and SS man, though.

The kids were good and the ending, whilst shocking, was very good and very tastefully done.

I think the highlighting of the hypocrisy of the Nazi state was brilliant. The idea of one soldier being sent to the front line for disloyalty for not denouncing his father by the commandant with a disloyal wife - and her calling him out for just that - was very good and a very real part of that culture.

Overall, a very good film. I'm just not that keen of kids, they kind of piss me off with their innocence. But hey, maybe I'm just bitter because the cold light of reason hit me pretty early on...a reference to the quote (that I forget exactly) at the beginning of the movie.

how was thor?

A good entertainer, liked it.

Loft (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926762/) (2008)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g348/sanjidhdc/Loft2008.jpg

This is a pretty cleverly plotted an excellent Whodunit murder-mystery-thriller from Belgium. Gave it a watch as soon as I read lately that an American remake (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1850397/) (starring Karl Urban, James Marsden & Rhona Mitra) is on the way from the same director (Erik Van Looy) of this original.

Highly recommended.

The Alzheimer Case aka The Memory of a Killer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374345/) (2003)

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

From the same director of ^LOFT^, this time it's an intense crime aka cop thriller with great characterization & that comes with some engaging performance from a good cast of actors. Erik Van Looy's this film is also getting an American remake treatment which is currently in development by Focus Features, Universal Pictures' independent boutique.

Highly Recommended.

>>: A

Very much looking forward to check out more thriller films in coming days from Erik Van Looy.

Ice Road Terror
Typical SyFy Original Movie. No build up at all. The monster killed someone in the first two minutes and then appeared in the first eight. Still i know what to expect when i watch these movies and it was a lot better then Roadkill, the last SyFy movie i watched, so i enjoyed it.
