From Dusk Til Dawn

[hellfire1]

lords of dogtown

[SodaGirl]

The Perfect Man :(

Let's not talk about that one...

Before it was Skeleton Key. I had put it off because I thought it was going to be bad, but I ended up loving it.

[ShankS]

Aliens. DC

[urgeok]

Brothers Grimm.

I heard a lot of bad things about this ... thought i was going to hate it but i ended up liking it quite a bit.

It was like watching a moving painting - gorgeous to look at ..
overshadowed any flaws it may have had.

(reminded me of Legend in that sense)

[RavageRitual]

Boogeyman Original

[Posher778]

Scream 1

great movie, except the ending is a piece of shit.

[RavageRitual]

WTF, I thought the ending of Scream was pretty damn amazing.

[Despare]

From Dusk Till Dawn and True Romance, good movies.

Why, becuase your ego tells you that mainstream horror endings always have to suck?

Come on, Scream had a great ending, the only way it could "suck" is maybe if someone told you or something.

*************************************************

Anyway, I had a little Vincent Price marathon.

-The Bat

-The Abominable Dr. Phibes

-Diary of a Madman

[Posher778]

no... not at all.

it was a cool twist and all, but that one kid is such a fucking dumbass that he could never be a killer, and why did they keep stabbing eachother? Thay were acting like pricks instead of being spooky.


the opening scene with drew barrymore is the best part imo.

[novakru]

Hoodwinked
Way too long but the 5 and 7 year old crowd loved it and gave it two thumbs up.
An interesting twist on red riding hood.
Xzbit(sp?) as the voice of the bear was hilarious.

[Posher778]

really, how long was it?

[novakru]

Long enough for me to start wishing the damn thing would be over:D
I think it was an hour and 70minutes?

[novakru]

I just checked-it's 95 minutes:cool:

[Posher778]

oh thats not too bad.

lol novakru, you said an hour and 70 minutes... hmmmm

[novakru]

I orignally said an hour and 60 minutes,but was thinking 70.....but it REALLY seems that long:D

french connection II

[Marroe]

Underworld Evolution

It was ok, had some pretty decent visuals, but I was mostly bored. One of those halfway through my mind is on anything but the movie kinda things.

[Amalthea]

Babe (1995) 10 / 10

[bwind22]

Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde

Very old, silent and black and white. This film just seemed too slow moving for my taste. I wasn't really a fan of it.

C



The Hunchback of Notre Dame


This one was very old, silent and black and white, but I liked it a quite a bit. The facial expressions of the hunchback were just hilarious and overall I was entertained.

B+




American Pie: Band Camp

Well, it was a bout what I'd expected, which was a pretty stupid sequel. This franchise had been going downhill since the first one and now it's straight to video, but nevertheless, it has it's moments. Very crude humor in the tradition of American Pie.

D+




Venom

I thought this was pretty stupid. The gore was good, the acting was fine, but the story sucked and didn't really make sense. It wasn't one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but I probably won't be watching it again either.

D+

[urgeok]

Ghost Lake

low budget - predictable .... they tried....but...

[Elvis_Christ]

Cannibal Ferox - overated as hell, saw the best bits on a clips tape that was floating about in the 80s. But I still dug it being a trash freak with a head full of herb.

&

Invasion USA - really enjoyed this one. Damn good fun. I'm becomin' a big Richard Lynch fan.... creepy assed motherfucker. Perfect for those bad guy roles, makes me fucked off my copy of Bad Dreams grew legs and disappeared :mad:

[Bezenby]

Cannibal Ferox is bollocks - like the rest of those Cannibal flicks (except Cannibal Apocalypse)

Just finished watching The Spiral...original sequel to the Ring....not too eventful I must say...

[RavageRitual]

School Of the Holy Beast

[phantomstranger]

Darkness Falls

[Dante'sInferno]

The Longest Yard

[RavageRitual]

Starkweather

[Angelakillsluts]

The Devils Rejects

I didn't like it.

Underworld: Evolution

Despite the negative reviews, I thought it was leaps and bounds above the first.

My Life With Morrissey

low budget indie .. uneven but still - a lot of laughs...

[alkytrio666]

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein...

...for my 100th time.

[hammerfan]

The Family Stone

[novakru]

Batman Begins
By far the best Batman I have ever seen.
Loved it.

[urgeok]

erest scared stupid

well...... i think my kid liked it..

interesting sidenote ...
there were movie trailers before the flick ..
one was for an older musical called Newsies.

I'm watching this thinking .. damn that one kid looks like Christian Bale ... singing and dancing ... and it was him.

interesting to see what he looked like somewhere between the young boy of Empire of The Sun, and the man he is now ..

[Angra]

"Death valley" 2/10


Despite its decent acting and special effects, this zombie movie is totally ruined by it´s low budget and weak story.


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

"House of wax" 2005 7-8/10


Even though i´m not a big fan of slasher movies, i found this surprisingly good for it´s genre. Great special effects.


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

"Willard" 2003 7-8/10

Also a surprisingly good horror movie, about a not quite normal man who finds out he can communicate with the rats in his basement. The movie could might as well have been called "Lord of the rats". Hehehe...
There´s a handfull of good actors in this one, including Laura Harring and R. Lee Ermey who is enjoyable to watch as Willards asshole boss. But the most remarkable performance comes from Crispin Glover (George McFly in "back to the future") as Willard. I mean, WAUW!!... Talk about perfect casting.


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

"Longest yard" 2005 4/10


Adam Sandler plays an ex-football pro who ends up in jail and is forced to gather a team of convicts who will play against the jail guards.
You´re supposed to root for Sandler and his gang all the way thru to the big showdown, but before that happened i found myself not giving a shit anymore.

The big problem with the Longest Yard is, that it can´t decide if it´s a comedy or a drama, a sports movie or a jail movie and because of that nothing works from beginning to end.

It´s just not a very good movie.


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


"The Godfather" 10/10

[AUSTIN316426808]

Friday Night Lights again

[zwoti]

beverly hills cop

[Zero]

hustle & Flow - and, while i'm no big rap fan - it was a decent movie with AMAZING performances!

[newb]

The Fog - remake---All i can say is WHY? It did not improve on the original one bit, as a matter of fact it lost the best factor of the original...atmosphere.


Flightplan---not bad for the first half.....got a little stupid towards the end.

[novadawn969]

Army of Darkness... again! then View From the Top. Corn!

I used to think Kevin Spacey was one of the most underrated actors until he finally got an award,then it seemed his work really suffered ...now I think that about Christian Bale-I have seen many of his flicks and think "wow,what a talent",yet I kinda hope he stays on the level he is at,to save his talent-you know what I mean?

Wes Craven's They

[Elvis_Christ]

Starship Troopers 2 - Total shit compared to the original but stands alone as a pretty cool low budget sci-fi splatter Hidden rip off. Worth the $2.95 I paid for it anyway.

House By The Cemetery - Fulci rules! Kinda abrupt ending tho... still awesome all the same.

[RavageRitual]

Went to see "The New World" today and it blowed so much ass. I dont have any idea what anyone saw in that movie.

[SodaGirl]

Two For the Money

While it's sort of a guy movie, I thought it was good.

[Angelakillsluts]

Audtion

Wow. It actually exceeded my expectations even after hearing everyone talk so highly about it. :eek:

[Despare]

The uncut/unrated Escape 2000 also known as Turkey Shoot and Death Camp, Tatcher. It was a blast, I especially liked the hands being cut off and the really cool head explosion near the end. I liked the story too especially how that one hunter was a lesbian even though homosexuality was supposed to be a capitol crime.

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Not bad, not as good as I was expecting but there were some great moments and I loved the set. Anyway, it was a lot better than Lost in Translation, that movie didn't do anything for me.

King Kong (Jackson)

I thought this movie was amazing ...

The dinos were incredible .. as were all the action and creature scenes on the island ..

the finale had me woozy ... i have a problem with heights ...
i almost couldnt watch some scenes..

you could see every penny Jackson put into this film..it was all worth it...

[cheebacheeba]

Cube.
Second time I've seen it, after about 5 years.
Pretty decent sci-fi type dealy...love the whole setting, score was pretty nicely done too.
Pretty good value, I got it brand new on dvd for $5AUD, which is really fuck-all.
Unsure about the sequal/prequel though, might just spoil the whole deal.

I agree. I know I've ranted and raved about this movie enough, but I really do think this was the best cinematic piece in years ann years. It paid SOOO much respect to the original.

When i´m thinking Burton and fairytales, i´m thinking something in the line of "Sleepy Hollow".

I would have loooved to see "Brothers Grimm" made that way. And Depp starring it wouldn´t have made it worse.;)

My favorite of the 1988 - 89 sea monster movies. Really likeable cast and one of the better Alien rip-offs. Nice effects by Stan Winston too.... I dug it. Another old assed VHS gem.

[urgeok]

1/2 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

(bedtime for the kid - we'll finish it tomorrow)

[bwind22]

Dead and Breakfast

Very entertaining, mid-budget pseudo zombie flick. (They aren't quite zombies.) Anyways, this film shattered my expectations and actually made for a very fun watch. The acting is just fine (Jeremy Sisto is always good and David Carradine is in there too.) The humor is just about right... Not too in your face and not like they were trying TOO hard, but just right. The gore, while low budget, was sloppy and abundant. And overall, it just had a really unique feel to it with the interjection of comical country songs in between each "chapter". If you're a zombie or low budget cheesy gore fan, don't miss this one.

The Evil Dead [1982]


Cant believe this is only the 2nd time Ive seen this one. I totally adore this movie....the gore, the plot, the effects, everything. An all-time classic and rightfully so.

I think everyone has movies they can watch really often. Some of mine:

The Frighteners - Highly under-rated. Great ghost story.

Dracula '31 - Classic, but not 1 I could watch all the time.

House on Haunted Hill '99 - I prefer the original, but this remake was alright.

Dick Tracy - Haha. Really? I liked it a lot when it came out, but the last time I saw it, it was WAY worse than I remembered it being. Way too colorful, the sets were tacky. It was just waaay too cartoony. I know that was the point, but I didn't like it nearly as much seeing it fifteen years later.

Sin City - Yeah, this is one for me too. Kick ass movie. And orgasm for your eyes.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes - Never seen it.

Dracula and House on Haunted Hill are the oly movies Ive watched more than once in 1 day:p

I agree Dick Tracy is a bit overly cartoonish, but I guess thats the apeal for me.

Sin City is one of the only movies Ive watched within an hour of buying it:D

And you've never seen Dr Phibes!?!? You need to! One of the best horror movies Ive ever seen...the reviwer on the box says it best "Phun or Phear? Phibes has both!". It's gory, it's crazy, and it's Vincent Price at it's best. You can get a great double-sided DVD with it + the sequel....best $15 bucks Ive ever spent.

[bwind22]

I'll just Netflix it, but thanks for the recommendation. Vincent Price rocks, but obviously I haven't seen all his work.

[RavageRitual]

Underworld, Watched it because Im going to see the sequel later on.

[The_Return]

Have you seen Theatre of Blood, Bwind? If you have, it's VERY similar to Phibes. Not quite as good IMO, but still very similar. If you havent seen that either....it comes almost as highly recomended:D

The Machinist

I think this is a great film, the acting is very good and the story compelling. But I just can't get over what Christian Bale did to himself; I have mentioned this everywhere I go tonight. That's just crazy.....I mean, suffering for your art is one thing, but geez man.....:eek:

A few movies I can watch over and over again that will NEVER get old:

Evil Dead 2
Animal House
Jaws
Sin City (a bit early on this one, only watched it three times, but in a fairly short period of time)
Pumpkinhead
Young Frankenstein

[cheebacheeba]

But I just can't get over what Christian Bale did to himself; I have mentioned this everywhere I go tonight.

Not to mention that he then went on to film "batman begins" more or less right after, and beefed up like whut! for that. I guess the guy's just very into what he does.
I think he's pretty much got the "method actor" title by the balls, among the folk of today.

[cheebacheeba]

Dodgeball, first time I've seen it.
I actually AVOIDED watching this movie...but saw it on weekly hire, so I thought I'd give it a shot, and it was actually one of the funniest films I've seen in a while. Vince Vaugn played a decent role, and Ben Stiller...well, he's always played the completely overdone dipshits pretty well. Not a bad watch at all, WAY funnier than I was expecting.

Then, watched Shaun of the dead...probably about the 6th time around. Yup, still brilliant. If there's the slightest chance anyone here HASN'T seen it by now, do yourself a favour and at least hire it, I cannot praise this film enough.

I was hyped for this movie, since people have rather ranted about it quite a bit on forums I frequent. "Best werewolf movie in a long time" someone said. Personally, I thought Ginger Snaps was a lot better. I'm not a fan of war movies, or the likes, so I should have known I wouldn't think of this as "great". It was so-so. if I was into this genre, horror/warfare, then hell I would have thought it was great. Just not my thing, so this is my rating. The camera work early on hurt my eyes with it's quick movements.

I haven't seen it in awhile so it's not all that clear in my mind at the moment but by war movie do you mean just the exsistence of soldiers? 'Cause from what I remember it was a group of soldiers that encountered werewolves, other than them being soldiers it had nothing to do with war.

"Grotesque", starring Linda Blair. Was pretty cool, but the 'movie within a movie' format spoilt it.

Rat Race: Utter utter wank, complete waste of my life yet out of sheer curiosity I continued watching.

Murder in the First: Brilliant film, Kevin Bacons best performance.

Suspiria


Good cheesy, low budget gore. Very artistic and unique direction as well as fine acting and compelling witch tale make this one a rightfully deserving classic. Argento's use of color in almost ever scene's lighting is something I haven't seen done in that manner very often and it creates for a very atmospheric film. All in all, it was good, but I'm not a nut for witch films so I didn't think it was anything great, just good.

A entertaining love story from start to finish, with many surprising shots of violence.

B+

Plaga Zombie

One of the cheesiest Films I Have ever seen, I also wasnt expecting it to be in spanish. So having to read subscripts was a bit of an irritation. Acting was either hot or cold. But I did watch this movie the whole way through and I was entertained.

C-

[Despare]

Pi - Gripping movie but in the end that payoff wasn't worth the invetment. I liked the movie but I was a bit dissapointed.

The Crazies - Another reason to thank God for Romero. Incest, killer gradmothers, and the Trixie disease which I think was kind of a precursor the "rage" from 28 Days later only less zombifying.

The Howling - A little slow but a good werewolf film, not many of those around anymore. Joe Dante sure has a diverse resume and can do both horror and comedy pretty well.

Resident Evil Apocalypse.....Again

[cheebacheeba]

I saw chicken little at the cinema yesterday...it was fairly funny, worth a few chuckles, but I wouldn't rush out for the dvd.

I just got through "the big lebowski" which I'd not seen before. Interesting film. Funny, quite watchable. Ended a little suddenly, which felt strange, but yeah, not a bad watch.

[slasherman]

"Jason Goes to hell"...pretty gory...

[RavageRitual]

Plaga Zombie : Mutant Zone

This was a sequel to Plaga Zombie, and was actually much worse. This film picks up from right where the first one left off. Overall thier was some cool shots of gore. And all around bad acting.

The Legend of Zorro......not bad....it was a Zorro movie, nothing more.Could have used a little more sword play.

thats weird ...

i watched corpse bride ,,, then checked out the Legend of Zorro ..
watched the begining to check the quality...

i liked corpse bride ... it wasnt as strong as Nightmare - and the songs weren't as good (except for Victors theme which was very nice) but it was as visually rich. I find that style of animation very watchable ..

the 'live world' scenes would be hard to take when tired as they were very drab and dreary ..

i know it was pretty obvious but i still got a kick out of the way the land of the living was all grey tones and the land of the dead was vibrant with colour ..

I'm workin' on the first seasons of Deadwood and 24. I never can keep up with those shows, which is why I thank the Lord for box set dvd's.

[Despare]

Alive (Kitamura's not the plane crash one) and Never Die Alone.
I went into Never Die Alone expecting a crappy movie and got a little better than I thought I would. Some decent gore with some brain splatter, decent shotgun work, and a nice shank to the eye. Anyway, I kind of liked the movie, surprised really.

[Marroe]

"Me, You, and Everyone We Know"...it was ok. Not much of a story, just a really odd film.

"Boondock Saints"...They need to make a sequel already.

[Elvis_Christ]

Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby..... not as shit as the Exorcist II but pretty fuckin' close a few cool moments tho. But fuck I got my $2 worth.

Phenomena - I think I prefer the Creepers cut of this film cause it was a lot more fast paced. Not really into Argento as much as I used to be.... must be all the Fulci flicks I've been watching latley :p

[Elvis_Christ]

Oh yeh and I forgot about Crimewave. I really hated this flick when I saw it 12 or so years ago on TV. I picked up the original VHS awhile back for $2 and gave it a day in court and thought it was fuckin' amazing.... really funny comic book style caper. Definatley a dark horse.

"Sisters" by Brian DePalma. Was good but the ending was confusing and ruined it.

Evil Dead 2

After beating Evil Dead: Regeneration, I figured the guy that helped me beat it aughta watch the movie. Considering Id just watch ED1 a couple days ago, and considering ED2 is much more like the game, we watched this. Still an awesome movie, of course.

Yeh that's been debated for years. I like the De Palma style of Hitchcock cause its got a real 80s exploitation trash thing going on. I really like his film Raising Cain too. But suspense films will always have a dash of Hitch just like gangster films will have a pinch of Scorcese.

[jenna26]

The Brothers Grimm ~ It was okay; definitely had its moments, but some it I just found irritating, for lack of a better word.

Million Dollar Baby ~ Good film, excellent acting. But DEPRESSING.....it pretty much ripped my heart out and stomped on it for about an hour of the film.

[The_Return]

Brothers Grimm

Meh. It was tolerable, but not great. The plot was below average, it was like they took the worst bits from Van Helsing and Sleepy Hollow then added some wasted Fairy tale references. My main problem was that it drug on forever, easily could have been half an hour shorter. Oh, and I cant see why everyone was praising the visuals, that was some horrible CGI! The wolf eating the girl especially, how awful was that?

[RavageRitual]

Gozu

After viewing this film and as the credits rolled, all that went through my head is "what the hell did I just watch" This movie I thought was a little slow in the middle But was entertaining regardless. Had a few scenes that made me cringe. Which never happens, so I was really happy about that. Overall I thought this was a great film with a good storyline, good acting, very creative, good acting. Awesome Movie.

But what really bugged me was the ghost. I didn´t see a single sign of effort in making her look remotely scary at any time of the movie. :mad:

Dead Alive

[Despare]

Scanners
Cronenberg is the man but Lack's acting is as wooding as the Ark. Still a great movie though and the exploding head is great and I liked the effect where the veins would grow and grow and then start spurting blood. Fun movie.

[The_Return]

Transporter 2

Very good for what it was. And it was a very good action movie. Actors werent great, plot left some pretty big holes, but the action was fast paced and exciting. I really enjoyed it, though not as good as the first.

Hellraiser

[Despare]

Martin which I really really liked. I loved the way Martin was portrayed as a vampire with nothing supernatural surrounding it. After Martin I watched Darkman which we all know is plenty of fun, especially when Ted's charecter Rick is lifted up into the street through the manhole and of course Bruce's cameo at the end. I think I'll have a small Hennenlotter viewing sometime this week.

[cheebacheeba]

The Jacket.
Definately took inspiration from a few other films...a little gothika, a little 7 monkeys, a little butterfly effect.., but I really liked it all the same, at no point did it feel like it wasn't its own story, and a good movie. Weird storyline, pretty good feel overall, nice resolution, even if a little sad.
I hired it, but will probably be buying this one a little down the line...I've seen no end of people dissing this movie, but hey, guess it's not for everyone.

I really enjoyed it! Action packed, but still serious and thought-provoking, to some extent. One problem I had was that it was either poorly written, or the subtitles were poorly done in some places. Alot of those lines were beyond horrible. Overall, that didnt detract too much from the movie though....Mark has got to be one of, if not the coolest characters Ive seen from an Asian movie:cool:

Darkman, on vhs.
I honestly couldn't remember much about this film from seeing it last at about the age of 13, at which time I had no idea it was a Sam Raimi film.
Watching it again, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I expected after my initial viewing. Pretty dark tale, sad and funny, and what a psycho motherfucker he is! Good score, nice camera-work, and actually had a pretty comicbook "feel" throughout.
I'm sure that watching this, the comic would have been VERY good, I'll be trying to download it soon.

Not that great really. Some decent killings and gore, rather stupid plot, predictable ending. Not recommended. Overall: 4/10
