[bwind22]

Day of the Dead 2: Contagium

All I can say is... Wow too! I can not believe this movie somehow had rights to using the name Day of the Dead and was allowed to try to pass itself off as a sequel to the Romero masterpiece!

The first five minutes of the movie seemed promising enough, then we were treated approx. an hour of B quality acting with horrible characters, no zombies, no seemingly relevant storyline and no sort of action whatsoever. They try to make up for lost hour of our life by cramming some "gore" into the last twenty minutes of the film but it's far too little too late.

Terrible acting, characters, storyline, plot, direction, lack of zombies and some seriously low budget gore make me wonder how this particular film got itself in any way attached to the franchise Romero made legendary.

D-

On the whole,I've seen worse horror films, but if you're going to be naming yourself Day of the Dead 2, you should at least attempt to live up to at least one standard Romero set.








The Santa Clause 2

Meh. Not horrible. Not great. Not as good as the first one, but still a pretty decent sequel.

Now I disagree with that. It doesn' even come CLOSE to the first one for me. But to each his own.

[The_Return]

Personally, I think Jaws is one of the most overrated films of all time. Havent bothered to see the sequels, but the first was boring as hell until the last like 10-15 min. The shark didnt look realistic at all, and the plot was pretty contrived. In my opinion, that is, but to each their own...

It wouldnt have seemed as conrived if it hadnt tried to be believable. The fact that the shark always showed up at the perfect time and place was my major grievance with the plot. I mean, in a slasher movie or something, you can get away with that, but in a film that goes to the limits trying to be realistic? No thanks.

Keep in mind that I never said it was a BAD film. It did have it's moments [Frreding frenzy at the beach, Ending], however I found it boring for the most part and the failed attempts at reallism were bothersome.

I'm sure just a lot of the slashers you're referring to have tried to be as realistic as Jaws.

I've had this one since last Christmas and popped it in while I was in bed sick and I have to say I was surprised. I wasn't expecting much and what I got was a damn good movie. Check it out, even if you don't like the actors.

The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe. I'm thinking I should have read the book. Pretty movie though.

Oldboy, a visual knockout of a revenge thriller. Highlight was a 5 minute long single-shot fight scene!! There's also a good human core to it, leaving you with some things to think about. Highly recommended.

Just got around to finally watching "Audition", I thought this movie was very good, and some of the scenes really freaked me out. But where the hell was all the blood everyone has been saying. I bought the unrated directors uncut edition, and all you get is a wired off head, a wired off foot and alot of needles, no blood. Im kinda upset because Ive been hereing how gory this film is. And thier was none.

[bwind22]

Creep

Very good, intense chase thriller thats finds a young woman locked inside a subway station overnight, but she's not alone in there. Good movie, well acted, decent gore, the plot felt fresh.... All in all, I liked it a lot.

Caligula

A friend I used netflix with picked this one so I didn't know what to expect and I certainly didn't expect what I got. O'Toole seemed drunk and the story... well I guess it was better than most porn scripts but this seemed more like porn than a movie. Not reall what I look for in a movie.

[Yellow Jacket]

Santa's Slay

An enjoyable flick which has Bill Goldberg playing Santa, Satan's son. Santa lost a bet to an angel and had to be good for 1000 years. Well, 1000 years are up, and Santa is doing some last minute holiday slaying. Low on gore, some nudity, but pretty cool & unigue deaths, and cameos by Chris Kattan and James Caan (I was shocked as hell to see him). Oh, and a cameo by that chick who played The Nanny on the tv show The Nanny.

4 out of 5 stars

Cry_Wolf

This is a review of the UNRATED version!!!
The slasher genre is now being taken seriously (sob) as the makers of the film try to tkae the genre's stupidity (not an insult) and make a smart slasher. Good idea, but wasn't played out well.

2 and a half stars

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

This is a review of the UNRATED version!!!
In The Exorcist of Emily Rose, we're taken through the court ruling of Emily Rose's exorcism, with flashbacks of what happened to Emily. I hated this film! First off, the whole "court ruling/flashback" thing didn't work at all. Also, the Devil didn't feel evil here. It just felt like he was taunted Emily the whole time, instead of torturing her (like he did to Regan in The exorcist). I gave up about an hour into the film!

0 stars out of 5

Four Brothers

Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin, and Garrett Hedlund play four adopted brothers who's mother just died. They go back to their hometown to bury their mother, only to find out that her death was a set-up, a murder. So, they set out to find the killers and bury them too.
Four Brothers was a great movie! Good action (not overdone), great acting (Wahlberg stole the show once again) and even emotional at times (nothing to cry over, but you felt really bad for these guys and the actors' performances really helped the film emotionally). A must-see!

Rebound

Martin Lawrence plays as a cocky, arrogant College Basketball coach who gets fired after flipping out on the referee and accidentally kills the team's bird. So, to get back on the spot, he goes back to his old Middle School where he became a basketball protege to teach the school's team. Only problem is, the team don't know a thing about teamwork or the game of basketball itself!

Another one of those family films where *SPOILER* the main character only thinks about himself in the beginning of the film, but at the end is a heartwarming guy.

Bad Santa

After seeing Badder Santa, this version seems kinda tame by comparison, but it's still a really funny movie overall. Thornton's great, Bernie Mac is funny as usual, and the midget's funny and that kid is a fuckin' riot!

All in all, very crass humor so it's not for everyone, but it's a funny film if you don't mind the vulgarities.

Now if that isnt the perfect movie to watch on a snowy Christmas Eve, tell me what is. I was quite surprised by this movie, it was actually really enjoyable. Definatly more of a comedy, but it's freakin hilarious [Capt. Caulks? Hahahahahahaha!!!]. The kills were totally over-the-top, not very gory but still pretty cool. Lots of Christmas related humor and Santa is FULL of one-liners and catch phrases.


Overall, Id say if you're looking for a light-hearted, original horror/comedy for Christmas Eve...Go for it!

John Carpenter's The Thing -10/10- For about the 50th time. I fucking love this movie, it's one of my all time favorites. I think the atmosphere makes it so creepy and different, and the acting is superb. And yes, the FX might look a little cheezy to some, but I think they're sick and awesome.

Bad Taste -6/10- First time. It was good...but it wasn't great. And it certainly wasn't on par with Dead Alive. Some good gore and some good laughs, but a little slow at times, and at others just dull. I will say that the vomit-drinking part almost made me chuck, and the sheep part was hil-fucking-arious.

Office Space -10/10- For probably the 5th time. This movie is the definition of a perfect comedy. Hilarious every time you watch it, and the characters are all connectable in their own ways. I just bought the "W/ Flair" version, too, and it's a great package for the price you pay.

Elf

This movie gets funnier every time I watch it. Will Ferrell and James Caan are both hilarious in it and it's refreshing to know that Hollywood still has the ability to put out a really good and really clean film still, but I've written up a review of this one before so I'll spare you any more babbling.

A-

-----------------------------

Jack Frost

Okay, there are movies that are so bad they are funny and then there are movies like this... So bad, they're barely watchable. I fell asleep the first two times I tried to watch this but the third time was the charm and I made it through. This movie was lacking everything; production quality, anything remotely resembling decent acting, a good script, a budget... You name, this one didn't have it. Except for Shannon Elizabeth in what must have been one of her first roles... It did have that.

Really bad. If not for a few corny one-liners that weer kinda dunny, it woulda got an F for sure.

D-

------------------------------

Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman

Well, here's a sequal that was better than the original. Instead of trying to make a scary horror movie about a fluffy white snomwman (like the first one tried to do), this one embraced the cheesiness of the lame ass killer and it worked out better. The acting and plot still sucked but it had a funnier script and way better gore (Although not great, just way better than the first one.)

D+

-------------------------------

The 40 Year Old Virgin

Word of mouth got around on this one that it was a fresh new comedy and word of mouth was right! Witty, original and superbly cast and acted, this might be on it's way to breaking in to the ranks of my top 10 comedy list after another viewing or two.

Very entertaining.

"21 Newly Made Cartoons". Disgraceful. The animation looked like it was made in Flash, the actors doing the voices were awful [Esp. Tweety and Bugs], absolutly nothing like real Looney Tunes.

Wow. To each his own, but...wow. I think just the opposite, this movie only improves with time, and I love watching this, not as a Christmas tradition, but as a brilliant movie all around- great acting, great pacing and great directing. One of the greatest movies ever made, but that's one man's opinion.

Last night I watched War of the Worlds (2005). Very good, especially the second time. Not a movie I would have bought on my own, although I saw it and liked it in theaters, but I got it as a gift and am glad of it. I do think this movie really does a great job of bringing out a crazy blend of emotions.

[noctuary]

Creep. Eh, it was pretty decent. Franka Potente's character seemed to be some sort of harbinger of death, as nearly everyone she spoke to in the movie ended up being killed. Kind of silly in places, but not bad. 6/10

[cheebacheeba]

The new guy, pretty funny for what it was

Just watched "toolbox murders", I guess it was the remake, it seemed fairly recent, it was just on in the background...didn't seem that great.

Son of the Mask - My expectations were so low that this seemed much better than I thought it would be. Interesting development of the mythology behind the various comic/s/movies...completely different kind of film to the first one, while not as good, was still alright.

Alone in the Dark

Well, it wasnt as bad as I expected. The actors sucked and the dialogue was always laughable ["Dont be insane!" being my personal favorite], but for a mindless action flick, it wasnt too bad. The creature effects were surprisingly good! Overall, it was good for what it was.

Tais-toi!
AKA Ruby & Quentin

Great fun...for those of you that can deal with subtitles, it's worth a watch, definately. Nice blend of action and comedy, actually had me laughing out loud, so seldom for a comedy these days.
Definately Gérard Depardieu in his most likeable role (IMO)...damn, I finally start to like the guy, and he announces his retirement from acting, I'll have to check out more of his french titles. Jean Reno as dour and dry as usual, on par with most of his comedy film career, he's also very funny here. The two actually make a great pairing in this almost anti "buddy" film.
For fans of either actor, you won't be dissapointed.

Grizzly Man, Werner Herzog's documentary about Timothy Treadwell. If you don't know, Treadwell was a... researcher, of sorts... who lived with wild grizzly bears for thirteen summers. In the end, a bear killed and ate him, and his girlfriend. Using Treadwell's own footage (the man obsessively recorded himself) Herzog paints a compelling picture of a deeply disturbed man. Highly recommended. 9/10

Bloodline, a rather interesting slasher flick. The big twist at the ending was a nice touch, but it won't come as too much of a surprise. 6/10

[Femme Fatale]

The 1973 film "Don't Look in the Basement". It was cheesy and amateurish with horrible acting. However if you are into B or Z horror flicks you should check it out....it might help if you are drinking.

LOTR 3

[gorefreak]

Saw a few decent ones this last weekend....
"I Spit On Your Grave"
"Last House On The Left"
"Zombie" uncut
"Fantasic 4"
"War Of The Worlds" (and damn if that 11 year old Dakota Fanning gives a brilliant performance!)

Others that were either okay or for laughs....
"Amittyville 2 & 3"
"I Drink Your Blood"

Others that were just God awful....
"Flesh For The Beast"
"Virgin Among The Living Dead"
"Prophecy 4 & 5"

@ "I Spit On Your Grave"
Couldn't watch it, just like parts of Cannibal Holocuast. The rape scenes are far too horrific in their own sense. Couldn't live with myself if I did watch them >_<

I just finished The Descent. Here's what I blogged about it:
"Note to self; Don't ever FUCKING go into a cave. This movie, even temporary, has made me afraid of the dark. I have lived to see a true horror movie, and it's one of the best. I walked into this hearing only good things, but I was not enthusiatic about viewing it - that quickly changed. It's a genious film, and I'm guessing my heart stopped about 9 times, and I swore outloud just as much as the characters did. Wow. The special effects were top-notch, and the 'monster' wasn't CGI! Props to that, it was SO well done - every detail. Looked so real. The gore was also very well done, though it wasn't the main focus. It was a film that might confuse you, as it's underground in a dark cave, incoherent surroundings - some of the frames were impossible to see because it was engulfed in pure black. Atmosphere though, that's what it was. The frames you couldn't see anything in, you weren't meant to. Definately watch it, The Cave is just an american rip-off. Why are all good horror movies foriegn? Because Hollywood has discovered horror, and cheerleading schoolgirls have become it's biggest fan."

Personally, I think online rentals in general are overpriced. I did deal with Zip.ca for awhile though, and they seemed good. Fast shipping, pretty good sellection...ad you get a 2 week free trial:D. I quit once that ran out though, so I dont know how the prices are...

Yeah, I gotta admit, that movie was quite raw. But then again, it's a movie, it's acting. But ya gotta appericiate how girl served her rapists with savage revenge. The 'dismember scene' was extremely brutal. In fact, that scene is almost as harsh as the scene in "Cannibal Ferrox".

[alkytrio666]

I just saw Wolf Creek last night.

Ehhhh...it was aalllright, I guess. A LOT of buildup for not very much reward. I thought the acting was pretty damn good by all the characters. When one of them (I won't spoil who) was being killed, her screams were so real and horrifying that it kind of added to how disturbing the scene was. I think we're all completely de-sensitized from watching horror movies, but performances like hers can kind of snap us back for a moment.

Storyline was just decent, though. Killer wasn't all that scary of a person, I think it's better to NOT reveal who the killer is until maybe the end.

7/10

[The_Return]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose [Unrated version, if there's any difference]


I was truly surprised by this film. I was expecting typical Hollywood horror garbage, but instead got a smart coutroom drama, with only some elements of horror. Being a huge fan of courtroom dramas, I thought this film was very well done, however it suffered for every minute spent out of court. Emily herself was annoying [to say the least], but the rest of the cast was pretty good, esp. Campbell Scott and Tom Wilkinson.

Overall, Id say dont pass on this just because it looks like typical Hollywood crap. It has some elements of Hollywood crap, but all-in-all, it's a good film.

[Femme Fatale]

I watched the 1988 movie Memorial Valley Massacre. It's so bad it was good.

[noctuary]

A shameless bit of Lynch worship called November. As said above, the director obviously wants to be David Lynch very badly, but he needs to work on the transparency of his plot and the overall sappiness. Not very good at all. 3/10

What a great movie! Dont have time to say much about it, but the gore was great, the ending was really cool [if maybe a bit predictable], and Jeffery Combs was awesome as always. If you havent seen it....buy it!!!

High Tension
I should've looked in -other- threads. This film seems to have been hyped up to be better than it really is.

It doesn't seem like I'll ever get used to the finale.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
A good sequel from Hooper. Sadly, I can't find a DVD edition that would have better extra features than just the trailer. There's a lot of humor that's well embedded into the storyline and dialogue. Right up there with Deranged and Motel Hell in my mind.

I dunno.... TCM 2 put me to sleep actually. And what was the deal with Leatherface? They took a brutal, ruthless killer and tuned him into an almost mindless wuss. :(

Actually, he was always kind of a wuss. In the original, think back, when he was with his dad he turned into a cowardly baby. It's just how he is.

The Cave

There's no point in mincing words here. The Cave is a terrible movie; indeed, it's one of the worst I've ever seen. It's been a while since I've seen a movie that actually made me angry, but this one did it. What was so frustrating is that there was the seed of a good movie in there. Unfortunately, the inept direction and wooden script make this one a turkey, not to mention the dubious acting skills of Cole Hauser and Piper Perabo. The whole film had a slapdash and shoddy quality that rendered it nearly unwatchable.

In conclusion: Fuck The Cave. I hated this movie. 0.5/10

SUCKED ASS!!! This is just a pile of generic comedy leftovers, and I can't believe how you're all saying "funny shit!" about it, the only thign truwe in that statement is SHIT. I nearly fell asleep and laughed only once. For a movie that relies soley on comedy, that's not very good.

I don't tend to agree with ANYONE, expecially most critics. I loved Cry_Wolf, I HATED The Shining with the utmost passion, The original Amityville Horror was a complete and utter JOKE. It seems most people are stuck in the 70's, and think anything created now is shit, and nothing but shit. While there is a lot of crap, there was stil crap in the 70's. I don't see how you rave about Amityville Horror, or The Shining (everyone loves it...) when they were both mediocre at best.

Well, the effects were phenominal. Really great use of CGI. As for the rest, well I cant really say anything good about the rest. Tom Cruise sucked as usual. Who wrote the script? Uwe Boll? Good lord some of those lines we're bad.

Assault on Precinct 13 [1976]

I cant believe this was only the second time I watched this...awesome movie. Napoleon Wilson is by far one of the coolest characters of all-time. "Gotta smoke?".

Anyone seen the remake? How badly do they screw it up? Im considering checking it out, but I gotta say it looks pretty bad...


EDIT- One thing that's always bothered me though is the title. For anyone who hadnt noticed, the film takes place at Precinct 9, not 13. Does anyone know if this brutally obvious error was intentional/if there was a reason for it?

[Dante'sInferno]

Escape from L.A.

[bwind22]

The Island

I put off watching this for about a week because I was busy and just didn't have much interest, but once I got around to watching it, it was pretty good. McGregor, Buscemi and Michael Clarke Duncan are all real good in this and the storyline is just twisted and cool. This film explores the possibilities of what could go wrong with human cloning 50-100 years down the road and to be honest, it doesn't seem that far fetched.

All in all, it's a good futuristic sci-fi clone film that I'd recommend to anyone who likes a good futuristic movie or any sci-fi nuts.

I believe it's a different movie altogether.

[joshaube]

About The Exorcist, here's whats up with those two releases:

Back a few years, the studio paid a director to make a prequel to The Exorcist. They had a script, actors, and a decent budget. He set fof to due this, made it, but ultimately the studio decided not to release it because of some reason, probably thinking it did not live up to the series/was bad. Later in time, they used the same script, got a new director, and made "The Beginning", and actually released it as being the prequel. A lawsuit was made by the older director and the studio was forced to release his version as well. So, Dominion was born. Same script ultimately, a few of the same actors, same location - different director.
