Yes, but why make a remake???
Cīmon Urgeok, the first one was close to be a B-movie.... Admit!;)
In my eyes Dolph has been in 3 good movies:
1. Dark Angel/I come in peace (Awsome)
2. Showdown in little Tokyo (Good fun entertainment)
3. Universal soldier (Dolph Lundgren = Baaaad Aaaaaass)

My favourite would be Universal Soldier also...

I wasnīt so excited about "The forgotten". Reminded me of Shyamalan, with the far out ending. And i thought his las movie "the village" SUUUUUUCKED!!!!!:mad:
Of horror movies from 2004 i recommend:
1. Gothika (The best supernatural horror movie of the year)
2. Godsend (The second best....)
3. Dawn of the dead (best zombie movie ever)
4. Saw (Just plain exciting)
5. Ju-on; the grudge 2 (Japanese)
6. The grudge (Havnīt seen it yet, but iīm sure that i will like it.):)
Thats all folks!!!
The end
ChEEbA
01-21-2005, 11:14 PM
I'm one of the few people that enjoyed Gothika also...cannot see why so many people rip on this movie, not that I much care.
I haven't seen Godsend, but it looked ok...
The new dawn of the dead was ok, although I preferred the original...they're totally different from eachother though, the new one was more a reinvention than remake if you ask me.
Saw was good, yeah...although I'm not inclined to run out and buy the dvd straight away.
Ju-on; the grudge 2 (Japanese) - Haven't yet seen either of the japanese grudge films, although if the ring was anything to go by, the japanese version was infinitely better and explained the story a lot more clearly, shall hope the same is the case with
ju-on ...I didn't really like the US version of the grudge much...I mean, it was ok, but didn't really stand out in any way.
The grudge - If you're referring to the US version, see above. If you're referring to the Jap version, I've not seen it, but would reccomend it over the US version on faith alone.

I was talking about the American version.
But if you didnīt like that version, then you shouldnīt bother to go look for the japanese. Iīm pretty sure itīs much the same thing, because itīs the same director.
Itīs a haunted house......... Thatīs it.
Now, I loved that theme. But what i really loved about the 4 japanese movies was the director Shimizuīs creepy imagnination. From the first low-budget movie itīs easy to tell that Shimizu knows how to scare. Not many directors does that.

I agree with Cheeba with some things. I KINDA liked Gothika wasn't all that great but it wasn't that bad.
Same with Godsend, I didn't see it but it did look ok.
DOTD it was good but like Cheeba said, it was more like a reinvention. I mean the running zombies seem more of a threat, but slower zombies just seem to make better movies I think.
I'll just say exactly what Cheeba said. "Saw was good, yeah...although I'm not inclined to run out and buy the dvd straight away."
I haven't seen the others yet but I heard Gurdge wasn't that good, I still wanna see it though.

"Gothika" STANK. The end is a comnplete con and makes no sense at all. NO WAY it would work out like that for her.
Nr 3 sucks badly though...
Not at all.
It's a far cry indeed from the stunning first 2 (which i see as one film anyway) but that is mostly down to Sofia's awful turn, the lack of Robert Duvall and the less than thriling Vatican plot (though it does show up the Catholic Church and it's cronies for what hey are, which is nice).
But for fans of the "Godfather" story there is much here of interest.
Not least of which are the nods to the other films (GREAT to have Michael's old bodyguard appear again), the on going journey of Connie and the heart breaking finale for Michael.
The very last sequence is pure magic for fans of the series and is a really emotional end to it all.
Highly flawed, not great as film on it's own...but there is still much to enjoy here.

The typical plot twist again .. take the most unlikely person ...
thats the bad guy. As if ......
The ghost enlisting someone to find her killer ...done to death (pardon the pun)
It had the same appeal as breakfast at Dennys.

Yeah strange that she suddenly got away with murder....but i didnt think the film as a hole was sooooo bad...think i was expecting a lot worse.....
anyway....
"Satan Rir Media" A Norwegian documentary about people burning churches...if somebody remembers "Greven"(Varg Vikernes) better known as Burzum...a satanist who kills a band member from Mayem....
"Club Dread" a horror parody....most a slasher parody....
"Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" 1978...still good :)

Ok....havnt updated here in awhile, here's what Ive watched this week, in order:
Chronicles of Riddick : Decent movie, nothing spectacular, and nowhere near as good as Pitch Black. It did have moments, and the ending was amazing.
Stepford Wives [Remake] : Exactly what I was expecting from it. Mildly funny, decent plot. I really want to see the original though. But ya, I enjoyed this.
Dawn of the Dead [Remake] : Wow. I was speechless after this movie. I agree that it was more of a reinvention than a remake, and both versions are amazing. The gore was great [More varried than the 1st], and I laughed my ass off at the Down w/ the Sickness jazz version, lol
Van Helsing : I was bored this morning, and grabbed a random movie off my shelf. Havnt watched this in awhile, I thought it was really good. If you wanted a horror movie, I can see why most people are disapointed with this. But I was looking for action, that what I got.....Along with some minor plot holes, but those can be overlooked:p

Actually, it has 3 sequels: Revenge of the Stepford Wives, The Stepford Children, and The Stepford Husbands. All three were made for TV though, lol.
Anyway, I just got done watching "The Bone Snatcher". I wasnt expecting much, I was at Blockbuster, in the mood for something I hadnt seen, and this was the only non R rated horror movie I could find, so I picked it up. Wow was I surprised. Fairly original plot, amazing looking monster, and even decent acting! Definatly gonna buy this if I can find it

"The Enforcer", groovy 3rd Dirty Harry film with lots of enjoyable Eastwood/Harrty moments. God bless the 70's.
"A Nightmare On Elm Street"
Just caught a bit of the lame "Red Heat" on TV...VERY strange to hear the music John Woo used for many of the action scene in his classic "The Killer". This is their origin, but they seem far more at home in "The Killer" than here.

actually it was the first movie i had seen (after a bunch of abysmal stinkers) that i thought was ok ... like you said an extended x-files episode with a couple of effective jumps...
it was weak around the edges but it kept me amused .. something the village, house of the dead, and RE2 failed to do.

The shop teacher scene was actually pretty gross, i thought.
"Can you believe this? Would you look at that? Just call me 'Mr. Butterfingers.'...I think it's on the floor somewhere. Boy, is my face red..."
I also find the commercials and the Rambo imitation hysterical.

Last night I watched The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Billy Wilder)
I was a bit disappointed because i found it very stagey (esp. the performance by the guy who played Watson) but that is typical of Billy Wilder.
Some scenes ran on too long for certain 'jokes' that did not pay off..It could have been much tighter.
But - I like pretty much anything to do with Sherlock Holmes so I still enjoyed it somewhat

Princess Mononoke.
It's been around for a while in Japan...I saw the english version, with the voices of Gillian Anderson, Billy Bob Thornton, Jada Pinkett Smith, Minnie Driver, Claire Danes, and a WHOLE lot more people that usually voice videogames/cartoons...
This film was fucking cool. I enjoyed it WAY more than "spirited away" which was the last film by the same people...I don't REALLY agree with the hype calling it the Star Wars for today, but there WERE certain similar elements.
Good, solid characters none of them "pointless" as are many in such animated films.
Awesome soundtrack, really spectacular background and geographical art, and a storyline that's strange, but very easy to follow. Some great action sequences, crazy-ass giant animals/gods/demons running around.

i really love the studio Ghibli films but i think Spirited Away is still my favorite (even over the lovely but more simplistic Totoro)
The animation in Spirited Away is so rich ... and the images - for me - have more impact .... like the train sequence ...
As in totoro i really like that - mystery train/transportation - in the middle of the night when the real world is sleeping.
Princess M. is still a bit to violent for me to watch with my kid so I have only seen it once.

Yup, I thought the bottle/corkscrew/gun 4 way scene was fucking intense...great mixture of elements in the film, and the comedy in no way fucked up the horror, it was great....my favourite dvd.
Not the LAST film I've seen, but just before it....I saw a Japanese dvd I got off ebay called "tales of the unusual", it works kinda like creepshow, but not really...there's four stories told, each of them turn into completely different kinds of "mini-films", one psychological horror, one sci-fi/romance, one "what the fuck?" and one comedy/sci-fi...but all very watchable, interesting films...I'd reccomend it to anybody. I got my copy for $12AUD, well worth it.
Urgeok, I haven't seen totoro, or castle in the sky...
I'll look out for those.
I was just wondering, your suggestion reminded me of the name of another manga type movie...an old one...has anyone here seen "the casle of cagliostro"? I myself, have not. What I have seen of it looks excellent...apparently it belongs to a series of films starring this "Lupin" character....any information on these films would be helpful.

The japanese version got a much slower pace, but is much more scary. Especially at the end.
But i liked the story better in the american version, because it explains a lot more what the hell is going on, where Ringu makes you think for yourself most of the time, and is a little more confusing.

It was simply breathtaking. The cinematography, the score...Tuco, lol. Wow
Yes, thatīs an awsome movie. :)

While we're talking movies, I'm gonna jump into the future for a lil' bit, and let you guys know what I intend to watch soon:
An jap. animated film done in 2004 called
"APPLE SEED"
I've been enjoying a lot of animated films lately, so when something of that nature becomes available to me through certain means, I have a look at it.
I checked out IMDB for some info on this film, but saw that there's also a 1988 animated film of the same name...does anybody here know anything about EITHER of them???
Still want some info on "castle of cagliostro" too...

I love that the main character totally fucks the people over at first, too. Given who he turned out to be, it makes perfect sense. Rape some of the women, make the midget the mayor and sherrif, piss on their "hospitality" while taking advantage of it, and then save all their asses and make them look like fools.

well, i watched Jurassic Park : the Lost Word with my kid who is a complete dinosaur freak. I skipped throught the scary/violent parts though. I forgot how good the dinos looke in that film .. too bad there were so many trite and convenient plot devices.
Then i watched AVP because i had heard a few conflicting opinions and had to see it for myself.
good effects .. bad story .. it felt rushed and everything that happened was telegraphed well ahead of time.
And the last 'shot' was completely stupid and unnessessary.

Maybe thats true..havent seen all the D. Argento films....but I cant see why its better when it 's Argento....to me the movie could have been sooo much better if he had stayed more logical and believable........i'm not sure if its designed or simply lack of a better plot..:confused: ...

its done by the same studio (studio ghibli) as princess mononoke, etc .. but a different director.

I think so yes (it's better than "Fistful", which i always found as dull as "Yojimbo" for much of it's running time and it's much better than the bloated and stodgy "Once Upon a Time in America").
It's far rougher and has a larger scale (even larger than "Good, Bad", with thousands of extras) and is a much darker film.
Good performances by Steiger and Coburn though Steiger's Mexican accent can be a bit much at times.
Wonderfully eccentric Morricone score as well.
Horror fans will notice a young David Warbeck in the IRA flashbacks.
And there is another plus, it never takes Coburn's side (or gives any real view on his 'cause') about his IRA past.
As he is one of the 'hero's it's slighty synpathetic, but is a million miles away from such American, pro-IRA terroriist GARBAGE like "The Jackel".
If it never bothered me (who has no time for IRA scum) then it won't bother anyone.
And any fan of Leone will find tons of sweaty close-ups, grime, violence, personal sacrifice and black humour to enjoy.

"Sudden Impact" - Not as good as the 3 classic titles that came before it, and far more simplistic humour had been added and the 'hip' and cheesy attitude and dialogue had become overwhelming.
But it still has some great moments, some nice links to the other films (with Bradford Dillman from "The Enforcer" re-appearing and some nice variations on the original "Dirty Harry" music), some top violent action, and the new transfers on these look great and sound great (Harry's magnum has never sounded better!).
"The Dead Pool" is one to avoid as it's the bottom of the barrel, a moronic way for the series to go out. It should have ended here, with "Sudden Impact".

DAMN fine!
I see no problem with that scene in "The Omen" at all. You just have to get into the film and think.
He is a holy man faced with the ultimate enemy, the coming apocalypse, he has lived in dread and fear for years. He knows what is happening when the storm lashes him.
And when he finds that even his church offers no sanctuary he is simply rooted to the spot, not just much in fear, but in defiant resignation.
He knows it's over. He knows he has been caught outside of the protective lifestyle he has led by taking the risk to warn Peck.
If he had stepped aside then lighting would have hit the brickwork where he moved to and crushed him...or whatever!
The film spends all it' time SHOWING you that your fate is determined when you are marked.
And that will never change until the very end of the final film with the destruction of Damian.
One of THE best horror films ever made.
Vodstok

I have to agree with freak here. a common theme in many movies is that fate is set. if he had moved away from that falling vane, SOMETHING would have impaled him. Prophecy in movies almost always sits right on the line wetween fate and self-fulfillment.
In other words, in a movie, even if the person knows something is going to happen, and takes steps to avoid it, those steps invariably are the ones that lead to the prophesied(sp?) events.
