-King kong (1933)

-King Kong (2005) (In my top 3 best movies ever...)

-Hellraiser II: Hellbound (One of the best horror sequels ever...)

-Swingers (For the gajillionth time...I love this movie)

[Yellow Jacket]

2001 Maniacs

Human flesh, mmm mmm good! And so is 2001 Maniacs! Well, it's not the best thing that I've swallowed (I see the jokes coming already), but it does get the job done! And when you have Robert Englund and Lin Shaye in the same movie as cannibals, it's hard to go wrong. Let me start with the...

Positives

-Great amount of gore
-Acting was better than expected (well, from the youngsters that is)
-Blowjob good kills
-Nice setting


Negatives
-Weak Beginning
-Weak Ending
-Ending dragged on too long
-Some of the cast could've been re-cast
-Racial slurs are a many

Hmm, I should just do my reviews this way from now on. Anyway, 2001 Maniacs has gut-wrenching and tittie-juggling middle, but a weak-ass beginning and middle. The gore does make up for that, along with the amazing kills! And Robert Englund and Lin Shaye rocked the house, as usual!

3 and a half stars out of 5

I'm watching King Kong (2005) right now. When I'm finished, I'll write my review for you guys.

[Michaels Shape]

Cruel Intentions--8.5/10

[Yellow Jacket]

King Kong (2005)

The hype was right! King Kong is hands-down Jackson's best film to date! Turned out a helluva lot better than I thought! Here are the positives and negatives.

Positives

-Great action
-Beautiful CGI-Phenominal acting
-Directing was top-notch
-Great build-up
-Action throughout
-Peter Jackson at his best
-Greta popcorn film
-Good love story
-Ultimate Destruction

Negatives
-The dinosaurs were over-used. I felt like I was watching Jurassic Park at times.

The negative aside, King Kong was a beautifully crafted, heartwarming, action-filled up the yazoo (???), and Jackson's best film to date!

5 out of 5 stars

Yeah it was. Hey, I didn't get a good look at that map, was it a map of the island or one of the complexes on the island? I noticed it was shaped like the Dharma logo though... weird.

Time Cop
Dark Crystal
Bladerunner(VHS,not the shitty director's cut)

[Elvis_Christ]

^^ not a fan of the director's cut? I love/hate elements of both versions. Kick ass flick either way. I've got both cuts on VHS and it was pretty amazing seeing the director's cut on the big screen a few times. That movie needs to be BIG and LOUD!

I just got thru with The New York Ripper...... and it was an amazing bloodthirsty sleazefest! My favorite Fulci flick. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

[slasherman]

Stay (2005)...pretty good mystery drama...

[feral cat]

One Night In Mongkok (http://ispitonyourmovie.com/index.php?id=342) ... really good crime thriller from Hong Kong

[The_Return]

Dark Heritage (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228182/)


Though this is not a good film by any stretch of the imagination, it's been one of my favourites ever since I saw it about a year ago. The script is laughably bad, and the actors only make it worse. The lead actor, Mark LaCour, played one of the stupidest leading males I've ever seen in a horror movie: No matter what anyone said, his response of choice was "So, what does that have to do with us?". After awhile, you can almost predict what's going to come out of his mouth. As bad as the script and actors are however, this film does have some redeeming qualities. The silent, sepia-toned dream sequence about half-way through the film is actually very creepy and well done. In fact, I think the entire film would have been better if it was done like this scene. Though it usually seems that he's not sure how to work a camera, director David McCormick does know how to create atmosphere. The tunnel scene was very well done, claustrophobic and almost creepy. The ending was beyond obvious, but I still think it was pretty good. Last but not least, the Dansen clan themselves. Though many will disagree, I though these creatures were great. Once again I refer to the tunnel scene, the first time we see a Dansen-creature is an incredibly cool shot. Overall I recommend checking this out, providing you don't mind some very bad actors and a fairly low-quality DVD. Why do I say the DVD is low-quality? On the menu screen...the misspelled the title! Oh well...

That's actualy a pretty fun film, I though. Not very good, obviously, but still pretty good for a laugh/some mindless action.

[joshaube]

Hehe, I heard House of the Dead was horrible, but I want to see it for that single fact. Then, perhaps in the future, I'll have something to compare other terrible movies to.

its definately worth seeing just to witness such a pure exercise in incompetence ....

i just wish i hadnt seen it at a theatre - let alone dragged friends to it.

[The_Return]

Id rather watch it with some friends...it's great to watch a bad movie with some buddies so you can rip them apart:p

A word of warning: Though this is by all means and awful film, dont go in expecting the biggest pile of shit you've ever seen. It's bad in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way, in my opinion. Lots of people would argue the contray though...

[Jacob Singer]

Finally I could find "Escape from NY" special US edition . Here in Spain is not edited yet on dvd so I've got it recorded it from TV in a old vhs...now I can throw it to the dump!!!! So tonight I will see it again....my name is Plissken, you know?:cool:

Good Night, and Good Luck (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433383/)


When I watch a film, I often watch it more than just to be entertained. I like to learn from film as well, and this fulfills both needs very well. Perhaps it loses some of it's entertainment factor by staying so close to the source material, however that doesnt detract too much. For one such as myself with very little prior knowledge of the subject matter, the film is rather confusing at first. After the first half hour or so though, the plot sucks you in and you wont want to blink. Strathairn skillfully heads up a wholly incredible cast, backed up by such strong supporting actors as Ray Wise, Frank Langella, and even director George Clooney himself. Though Clooney is great on both sides of the camera, in this film he really shines behind it. The beautiful cinamatography blew me away, though I am a sucker for back and white. Overall, this film does drag in parts but is completly worth it. Should have one at least one or two Oscars.

7.5/10

damnit, i watched club dread last night. making it the last one i saw.
ugh.

[Yellow Jacket]

I just finished watching Freddy vs. Jason for about the 20th time (yes, I have that kind of time). I haven't really watched any movies this week besides King Kong and 2001 Maniacs. I'm sad to admit that. But, I think I'll catch up on my movie viewing this weekend. Starting shortly tonight.

[bloodrayne]

Cut...With molly Ringwald....It wasn't terrible...Was worth watching

Firestarter 2....Really long movie, but good stuff...I actually loved it...not bad for a sequel...

Frankenfish...Oh well, it was better than Anaconda...Although it reminded me a LOT of Anaconda.....To be honest, I actually really liked this movie

The Last Horror Movie...A Fangoria movie...And it was AWESOME...The main guy has GOT to be a Scorpio...Watch this one and you will know EXACTLY what I mean...His attitude, the way he thinks (completely analytical and logical), the things he does and the way he does them, the questions he asks...I swear, I love this guy:cool: :D

Dark Town...HUGE disappointment...Seriously...There really isn't any reason at all to watch this piece of crap...Not even good gore....And you guys know that I'll give pretty much ANYTHING a fighting chance...This one loses all the way around...Blecch...

Hell's Highway...OMG, it was SOO bad...see above^^^

Tower Of Blood...A few good kill scenes...But, overall a pretty terrible movie...

Death Valley 2: Return Of Bloody Bill.....For some reason, I absolutely LOVE this movie...Awesome gore, cool storyline...It was so much better than I thought it was gonna be...It makes up for the few terrible ones here and there, that I keep ending up with....If I didn't try out some of the ones that SEEMED like they could potentially be terrible, I would never run into the good surprises like this one....Glad I didn't pass over it and miss out:)

I enjoyed this one. Pretty underated slasher that had some nice touches. I like how the villain looked in this one.
Cut was kinda like a Aussie Valentine which I dug almost soley for the villain (I thought the bleeding nose thing was a great touch).
Cut needed a little more nastiness (as did Valentine and Scream) and NY Ripper style gore in my opinion. Both sleepers distined for some cult status. But then again its cool to hate slashers especially modern ones.

[Thorns_demon]

Killer party, god could the ghost be even more scary, hahaha, damn bad movie, nothing happend, the only thing I liked is when the college girl gets haunted, I mean like the exorsist, that was so funny.

[AsherAtori]

The first Puppet Master and Sleepwalkers. I love Puppet Master mainly because I'm fond of the puppets but Sleepwalkers was horrible. That movie had a lot of potential and just didn't deliver.

Almost bought that one on two occasions...guess Im glad I didnt.

Anyway, I just wanted to get this review up before I slip into my alter ego:


Return of the Fly (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053219/)


In my opinion, The Fly was one of Mr. Price's weakest roles. It was a pretty good movie on it's other merits, however he simply wasnt at his best. Reviving his character in this mediocre sequel didnt help much either. Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed the film, but it's not hard to tell that it was made purely to cash in on the original's success. The biggest indicator of this is the plot, which is contrived and hard to believe. I dont mean the science-fiction parts were hard to believe; they made just as much sence as ever. The unbeliveable part was how poor ol' Philipe becomes "the Fly". Other than the derivative plot, this is a bit better than most cheesy sci-fi/horror flicks from the era. Though, as Ive said, it's far from his best role, Price's presence is what elevates this to a higher level. The effects were good for the time as well, especially the guinea-pig/man. The hands on the guinea-pig looked pretty bad, but the guy looked great! The fly suit was better in the original, the head grew about 5 times as big for this! There are also some horribly cheesy lines, my personal favourite being "He may have the murderous brain of a fly!". Overall this isnt a bad film if you're into this kind of movie, but it's flawed and not as good as the original.

Sometimes the Come Back...Again (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117692/)

*Clearly marked minor Spoiler near the end*

One thing can be said for Stephen King movies, whether he had a direct hand in them or not. They almost always have at least one or two really good characters, and the plot is always interesting. This film was no exception, and in fact was better than the first film, despite some incompetent cops and occasionally idiotic villains. Alexis Arquette made a great leader of the villains, though at times he seemed to be doing a bit of a Jerry Seinfeld impression. Micheal Gross was also very good as the typical troubled father. To be honest, the only part of the cast that wasn't up to par was Hillary Swank. If you told me in '96 that she would win an Oscar in less than a decade, I would have laughed in your face. As good as she may be now, she was awful in this film! Her lines were monotone, her facial expressions were flat, just and overall bad job. Up until the ending the plot moved along at a good pace, very interesting and enjoyable. The ending on the other hand seemed to drag on forever! I wont spoil it, but suffice to say it could have been a lot shorter. Last but certainly not least: The gore. *Herein lie the minor spoilers that I mentioned, so avert your eyes if you want. Nothing major though.* The deaths were all very well done and gory, though I wish we would have seen more of the lawnmower scene. The death by tarot cards was very cool however, and is quite possibly the best part of the film.

Overall, I recommend at least renting the double sided DVD with this and it's predecessor. Two very enjoyable films, though this is slightly better.

Epoch (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0233657/)


I picked this up today as part of a 2/$5 deal, so needless to say I wasn't expecting much. To be honest it didn't exactly deliver a whole lot, but it was certainly better than I was expecting. Takes a long while for the plot to get up ad running, the first 25 minutes or so of the film drag on terribly. This time does serve to introduce the characters, though only one of them is really worth introducing. David Keith's character, Mason Rand, was a decent character who had some very funny lines, but the rest were forgettable and bland. The film picks up as we learn more and more about Torus, the mysterious object that rose from the ground. The CGI effects looked about as good as can be expected, which is a kinder way of saying they sucked. I guess that's a bit harsh, but the majority of the CGI looked very, very cheap. The only exception being the...er...beings in the Torus. Though it ended fairly abruptly, I think the ending was the best part of the film. Leaves you thinking, and I know that I'll be thinking about it well into next week. Overall this is better than a lot of modern day "B" grade sci-fi, but still isn't that great. Worth picking up if it's cheap.

Alky...I loved the jacket, you down with it?

I watched Unleashed, for the second time. I think I enjoyed it even more this time around. Solid but not overly complex characters, nice back story...good storyline flow.
I was also very impressed by the musical score, all done by massive attack, it's close to a perfect score IMO....so well suited in every scene.
Action scenes...if you liked the stuff in romeo must die, kill bill, the transporter...throw that all together with some John Wu, and this is what you get. Some of the most hardcore, CRAZY chunky fight scenes and amazing stunts I've ever seen Jet Li perform in film...another area of the film that's damn near perfect.
It's a little sad, scary and brutal at times, overall a great watch.
I'd highly reccomend it.

28 Days Later, which is overpraised rubbish.

Danny Boyle will never come close to the heights he reached with Trainspotting.

City of the Living Dead

Some good gore but pretty ho-hum throughout. I liked it but I think I had higher expectations.

[PR3SSUR3]

Some nice foggy amosphere in COTLD, and it's loaded with good bits - the maggot shower (witness the real revulsion of the actors), the head-scrunching, intestine-puking and infamous head-drilling, and a very cool slow soundtrack to boot.

Rabbit Proof Fence 9 / 10

[PR3SSUR3]

There's an irritating trend of selling British films (at home and abroad) through stereotyping, hence bright red phone boxes and London buses, "evenin' all!" flatfooted bobbies on the beat, gor-blimey exaggirated accents and an overall sense of downright falseness... guess this is why Hollywood is denounced as such a fake, fantasy-land by down-to-earth Americans.

But it's understandable why some British films are a hit over the water, since even if our quaint humour isn't present :D Yanks are probably just pleased to see a production without the usual big and booming Tinseltown aura around it.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079945/)


Let me start off by saying that I am certainly not a "trekkie", and after watching this I think "trekkies" may be just a bit odd in the head. As a child I was a rabid fan of Next Generation, however this is my "first contact" with Star Trek in at least 7-8 years. Though this film certainly had some very good moments, I think you'd have to be a fan to truly enjoy it. The plot plods along at a snails pace, repeating itself and making me think the director wanted to cut as little as possible. Every scene went on much, much too long in my opinion, Id say the film could have been 45 minutes shorter and still just as good. With a few exceptions, the actors were awful. Every stereotype about Shatner is completely true, and I found myself in hysterics after some of his totally monotone delivery. His "acting" aside, his character just plain wasn't likable. From the first few minutes it convinces you not to like him as he acts like a total jerk, for lack of a better term. There was one good character though whom I wish would have been used more: Dr "Bones" McCoy. His dry and sarcastic attitude was hilarious and a breath of fresh air amongst a cast that takes themselves far to seriously. One thing that it did have going for it were the effects. As much as I disliked this film, I cant think of a single bad thing to say about the effects; they were phenomenal! Too bad it didn't have much else going for it...

Overall, if you're not a big "trekkie", Id avoid this like the plague. If you are a "trekkie"...I suppose you must not like this review much, eh?

4.5/10

[cheebacheeba]

I thought MOST of the star trek films were pretty shithouse, and the first one was VERY slow and boring.

I only really liked #2, and the um...the one with the klingons (one of the last of the original crew movies), and generations.
The two after generations were "ok", but the last one was pretty damn pathetic.

My parents have all of 'em except Generations and Nemesis on VHS...if Im ever really bored I might drag out another one. Dont count on it though, Ive had enough Star Trek for another 7-8 years:rolleyes:

Star Trek IV - the voyage home is the highlight of the series.

the one Shatner directed - # V is by far the worst.

they say that the even numbered films in the series are better .,.. i myself really like the 1st one.

The Gate (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093075/)

*Minor Spoilers*

This sat on my shelf for months, just waiting for a day where I had absolutely nothing better to do. Today was that day, and I was actually really surprised. What other movie has miniature demons, Lovecraft references, zombie construction workers, dead dogs, and really bad 80's haircuts? This has it all! The acting obviously left a lot to be desired, but what can you expect from a cast of kids? The plot, though it took awhile to get to the good stuff, was very interesting and, though cheesy in many places, kept my interest until the very end. The effects were very cool, the "huge" demon at the end looked great! The film's main downfall was the ending. I suppose a movie like this needs an upbeat ending, but I think it would have been a lot better if it ended 5-10 minutes earlier. Oh well, this was still a surprisingly enjoyable film, I definitely recommend picking it up, it's usually in a bargain bin somewhere...

Totem (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211050/)


Why would I even watch this? It was a double feature on my Jigsaw DVD, which is quite possible the worst movie ever made. However I was bored and wanted to watch something new, so I grabbed this off the shelf. I've got to admit that it was better than Jigsaw, but that isn't saying much. The basic concept was the only thing the movie had going for it, but they ran it into the ground. 6 people find themselves part of an ancient ritual in which 3 of them must kill and 3 of them must die. If handled well, it could have been a decent plot. Of course being a Full Moon picture, it was not handled well by any stretch of the imagination. When a movie has to have a psychic, it bothers me. It's rarely more than a cheap way to get out of explaining parts of the plot. What does this movie do? The whole friggin' cast is psychic! No point explaining how or why they're at the cabin, they're just psychic and got called by some kind of force. The actors, like in any Full Moon flick, give some of the worst performances ever seen in front of a camera. Their characters are so poorly written they cant even decide on what they think is going on from one minute to the next. The random dream sequence made no sense, and if I'm not mistake it stole footage from various other films. The "mosters" looked like they were rejected from the latest Puppet Master sequel, and if you happen to be epileptic you might just get a seizure from the terrible editing and strobe lights.

Overall, this is pure garbage. Not as bad as Jigsaw, but horrible none-the-less. Avoid if you value your time.

Dream Warriors is a riot, and way better than the later entries in the series (included Wes's own self indulgance episode).

The last decent entry in NOES, save for some cool FX in part 4.

I liked the gore and the atmosphere but I think my favorite part was the music ESPECIALLY toward the end.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.

But it's way better than the rest of the sequels, surely?

Except maybe for Freddy's Revenge, which is very interesting (homo-eroticism and all) and underrated.

Of Unknown Origin (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086036/)


Though I dont really consider it a horror film, if you are one of many who happens to be afraid of rodents this film will terrify you. Hell, even you you dont mind rodents it might freak you out a bit. Peter Weller is always a great actor, and he stars in this film as Bart, a man who wages an all out war with one hell of an angry rat while the rest of his life begins to fall apart because of it. He is the only leading actor in this film, and he carries it almost completly on his own. His dinner table speech about the dangers of rats was both hilarious and a bit unnerving at the same time. I liked how this film was almost self-mocking in parts, though it always kept a straight face about it and never went to far. The rat's point of view shots really show this. The scenes with the rat were all very well done, congrats to whoever trained the rat. The plot was very original, and I liked how smart the rat was. Always a couple steps ahead of poor ol' Bart. I think I jumped a foot when the damn thing came out of the toilet. Last but not least, that was one heck of a bat he made near the end!

Overall, this is a great film. Admittedly it's a bit cheesy in places, but it knows what it is and handles itself very well. Highly recomended.

Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown

aptly named - this was one of my bigger disapointments in a long time.

in typical big hollywood sequel fashion .. instead of the relaxed pacing and clever delivery of the 1st film, this one was - from the 1st frame - amped up, bloated, and just plain irritating.

again a sequal is ruined by the filmmakers looking at what made the 1st film a success ... and crunching it into a computer to come up with something bigger and brighter based on what worked the 1st time ...the 'key moments'

where the sequels of toy story and shrek made wonderful films by allowing a fresh movie/story to unravel ... ice age 2 felt forced and desperate. dont let the kids get bored - knock them dead and keep it coming. go go go go !!!!

such a shame.

[bloodrayne]

Madhouse...Excellent...Everyone should see this one...It's got a little bit of everything...Some gore, psychological mindfuck, psychosis, murderous mental patients, ghosts, suspense, and a twist

Final Cut...With Robin Williams...This one was pretty good, too

Dracula 3000...Meh...It was okay...I guess...

it was ...ok.... for the most part .. but eventually near the end it got stupid.. one sequence in particular ..

the escape from the dungeon cell ... WTF was that ??!!

that scene alone reminded me how stupid either ewe boil is - or how stupid he thinks his audience is.

it was a non-rvent really as a whole .. buy miles better than the other 2 pieces of shit he grunted out previously.

[urgeok]

thanks guys ..

i actually had a terrific night Friday :

I went to see Nash the Slash .. my favorite most life influencing musician since i was a kid .. My wife took me as a b-day treat ..

well, it turns out that he was a guest attraction at Ad-Astra - some Sci-Fi writer geek convention (Terry Brooks was there .. Ray Harryhousen was supposed to be there but he cancelled. Peter David was there - writer of many Star Trek novels - as well as Ed Greenwood ... the Forgotten Realms guy)

So to see Nash we had to get admission to the convention .. he was playing a live score to the silent classic 'the lost world'

So once we walked around a little - and saw all too much of the terrifying crowd there (middle aged sci-fi and fantasy geeks .. fat bespeckled balding men with vests, ponytails and tilly hats with some of the nastiest women i've ever seen all in one place - all EXACTLY like the comic book store guy in the Simpsons)

we decided the safest place to be until Nash's show started was in the hotel lounge to have a few drinks ..

after a bit NAsh was in there (not many people know what he looks like without the trade mark invisible man bandages he always wears when playing.

so i went over and said hi - and we chatted for about 30 min before he had to go change for his show (we'd exchanged emails a couple of times and we were introduced at the festival of fear so I'd met him before .. but i was still thrilled)

so as we're leaving to get decent seats he says .. come on back after the show - i'll be here ,, selling tshirts and CDs. etc ..

so we did .. and he calls us over to sit at his table where we proceed to chat for an hour or so until we had to leave ..

it was a memorable night ... super amazing, cool, smart, articulate, friendly guy...who is not only a Canadian music icon, but also has stories about all the others ...

(He is big still in the UK - he played with - and toured with Gary Neuman at one time ..)

it would be like someone here getting to sit with Kurt Cobain(alive), Eminem, Alice Cooper, or whoever the hell it was who's music shaped your tastes at a young age ..

oh .. and i finally got a nice picture of his skull mandolin ...

some day - i'll ask if i can get a pic while holding it.
i'd better be wearing rubber pants the day that happens !!



this isnt my picture below .. its a closeup from the cover of his album :American Bandages

Seriously...I could never have imagined that a movie could be SO bad....And I have seen a LOT of really awful movies...

Yes, definately my favorite comedy, one that actually has good humor. Glad to see I recruited somebody!

And yah, like Urge said, check Made out. Vaughn and Favoreau again star and their chracters are similar. Not as good as Swingers, but still some very funny moments.

[bwind22]

Curdled

This was a really nice surprise. A dark, off-beat and peculiar film with a few laughs and alot of violent subject matter (However, there is little onscreen violence.) Quentin Taratino's company put it out and he got the Executive Producer billing for it so if you like QT's stuff, this is along those lines and I don't think you'll be disappointed. (He did not write or direct it though.)

There's also a nice Dusk Til Dawn reference in there for those that are watching closely.

B+




The Brothers Grimm

Well, I had heard bad things about this so I didn't have my hopes up. That being said, it didn't exceed my lowered expectations, nor did it disappoint them. The imagery was pretty cool but the story itself was rather bland. All in all, I felt this film coulda been done a LOT better than it was, but it wasn't terrible.

C-



Session 9

I didn't seem to like this as much as most people here. It was okay, but I didn't really find anything too special about it.

C+



The Gift

This movies only saving grace was the all-star cast and Katie Holmes knockers. Cate Blanchett, Keanu Reeves, Katie Holmes, Greg Kinnear and Giovanni Ribisi, (also the guy that played Schillinger on Oz) make this a very well acted film but the plot was pretty stupid and fairly predictable. They tried to throw a couple twists in to the end, but it was also fairly predictable.

I don't know... If you are in to psychic thrillers or you haven't already seen a dozen other movies with similar twists atthe ends, you might like it. I wasn't crazy for it.

HighwayMen

I have had this film for months but just not got round to viewing (I could say this about a whole crate of movies I got stashed away) but hell, I decided on Highwaymen and well what can I say? If you are like me and think that you can't get better (in these kinda movies) than Duel and the Hitcher...I did like the recent effort Roadkill but this effort I just didn't get into like the rest. I thought the bad guy was a bit pap to say the least.

An average film with a plot seen so many times before...

5.5/10

CopyCat

I really like this movie. Straight from the acting, the plot and the overall feel of the film establishes it as one of the better thrillers out there. Unlike alot of films like this it refers to all real life serial killers ( Dahmer, Gacy, Ramirez, Bundy, Hillside Strangler etc) which I thought was a good touch. Sigourney Weaver plays her part well - check out those panic attacks!! All in all a good 2 hours viewing.

8/10


The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Now as the Exorcist is my fave movie of ALL time I was quite excited about seeing this. After seeing peeps reviews on here though i realised that my excitement may be soon dashed so, as I placed the DVD in my player I tried not to build this up only to be very disappointed. I have to say if you are after a truly scary possession film or a gory film then this film which just be one big let down But - I did enjoy this one. I thought it was well acted and the courtroom scenes held my attention well. I did enjoy this film, yes it could have been scarier but for me it did create a good debate afterwards and was good viewing.

Overall, certainly not the standards of an Exorcist but a good movie in it's own legal right.

7.5/10


Panic Beats

Continuing my Paul Nashy season (not to mention I am trying to get in the mood for Espana seeing as I will be there come Sunday for my jollies) I plumped for Panic Beats rather than Rojo Sangre (next on my list). I enjoyed School Killer (another Naschy effort from Spain) so had high hopes for this one and although typically cheesy and very 80's I yet again enjoyed this effort. Absolutely cram packed with gore without many scares I found this to be a good additon to my collection. Worth a look

Love Object...Hmm...Not what I was expecting...Not really too good, but I'm glad I finally watched it

Riding The Bullet...Bought it because it was a King...Not too bad, but a lot was added that wasn't in the book

The Fog (original)...Always great

The Fog (remake)...I noticed that they left out quite a few things from the original in order to make room for the 'Elizabeth' storyline...The girl who played the radio DJ, had NOTHING on Adrienne Barbeau...The kills were a LOT better than the original...It was a good movie overall

However I will watch again sometime and hopefully will get more out of it then.

Yeah, it was better than Brothers Grimm or The Gift, but I didn't especially like any of the 3. Both of those other two coulda been borderline D+ but the all star cast pulled THe Gift from the Ds for me. Plus Katie Holmes topless cant be all bad.

Anyways, Im not exactly sure why I didnt love Session 9 like everyone else around here does. I actually found Curdled quite a bit more enjoyable and was debating whether or not to give that one an A-.

maybe too much positive hype built up your expectations and the film went in another direction than you were anticipating.

if that was the case it would be wise to see it again ..
often a second viewing under those circumstances ends up with a completely different outlook on the film.

[The_Return]

Jericho Mansions (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338159/)


Without a doubt this is the best movie that I've seen in a very long time. The Story centers around the agoraphobic, amnesiac superintendent of an apartment building called, as you guessed, Jericho Mansions. When one of the residents is murdered, dark secrets come out and wounds from his past are reopened. What secrets do the walls of Jericho Mansions contain?

To avoid spoilers, that's the best I can give you for plot. Kept in guessing until the very end in true thriller fashion. For a change the twist ending was completely unexpected and very well done. All the actors, especially James Cann, gave great performances. I do wish some of the characters had more screen time, but that wasn't a huge problem. The CGI effects left a lot to be desired, but the idea behind them was pretty good.

Overall this is a great mystery that sucks you in right from the opening. I found it in a bargain bin for $5, and if you happen to be browsing through just such a bin I highly recommend picking this up. Amazing film that deserves alot more recognition.

Back to the Future (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/)


How do you review one of the best, most famous comedies of all time? What is there that hasn't already been said? I suppose I could comment on how amazingly well-written the plot is, how everything fits together perfectly and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Or, I could mention how hilarious it is; the subtle jokes like Lone Pine Mall, the absurdity of some of the characters, the expression on Crispin Glover's face. Perhaps I could say how incredible the effects are, and say how great it is that they still hold up today. After that, I could say something about how these are the characters that Micheal J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd will always be remembered for. That would link in to the fun 80's soundtrack. Then I could end the review by saying how much I love the ending, how it almost makes you want to grab the sequel of the shelf right away. Oh well, I guess it's all been said before...

Scream (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117571/)


*Huge Spoilers*



I'm probably the last horror fan on Earth to see this movie, and I'll admit was wasn't expecting much. Amazingly enough, it was worth the wait! As I expected, the smug attitude was really annoying, but not as bad as I expected. Another thing I didn't like was the supermarket scene. How stupid can it get? Dressed up like that in a supermarket, the day after a double murder. Nobody's going to notice that (heavy sarcasm). I though the ending was really cool though. I had the twist partially figured out, but I really didn't think it was Billy. I did figure there was more than one killer, but I fell for the obvious red-herring of Randy...I guess I just underestimated Craven, didn't think he'd twist it too much. The deaths were great, I especially liked Tatum's death, though the scene leading up to it was pretty stupid. Overall, this was surprisingly good, though Craven's smugness does get pretty bothersome.

8/10

Anyway, I watched A Clockwork Orange last night for the gazillionth time.

[The_Return]

Werewolf of London (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027194/)


I started watching this once, and fell asleep within the first 10 minutes. Today I decided to watch it properly, and I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as Universal's later "The Wolf Man", but still a good film in it's own right. Henry Hull made a good werewolf, though he wasn't nearly as easy to sympathize with as Cheney Jr.'s later portrayal. I really liked the plot, very different than most werewolf flicks. I especially liked the fact that there were two werewolves present, though we only get to see one transform. Most of the transformations were pretty run-of-the-mill, but the walking transformation was phenomenal. This film's main flaw was it's pacing; even at barely over an hour in length, it seems to drag on very badly. Overall if you're a fan of werewolves, this early feature is a good one to check out.

Beetlejuice (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/)


Considering Im a huge fan of Tim Burton, I knew Id like this before I even popped it in the DVD player. I dont really know why I put off seeing it for so long, but Im glad I finally got around to it! The whole film has that great Burton style that we all know and love, only perhaps a touch more macabre than usual. Keaton completly steals the show in a relativly small role as the title character, a rude, crude, self-proclaimed "Bio-Exorcist". The effects are amazing, the various hauntings looked great! Baldwin and Davis both did great in their roles, especially near the end. All the creatures and charaters from the afterlife were very cool. My only gripe with this movie is how long they waited to introduce the title character. Not a huge problem, but I would have liked to see more of Keaton. Overall if you're a fan of Burton don't go any longer without seeing this movie!

Dead End (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308152/)


Wow. I never thought that I'd be creeped out by someone singing Jingle Bells. This right here folks is a great, scary, intelligent horror flick. Ray Wise always does a great job, and this time he headed up a whole cast of above-average actors. The characters were pretty good, though I'll admit that Richard AKA "Comic Relief Jackass" got on my nerves pretty quick. The plot was very, very good...borrowed a bit from other movies, but overall it was pretty original. There were some very tense moments, and I will admit to being more than a bit freaked out near the end. The twist at the end wasn't too hard to see coming, but it was still very well done and leaves a lot up to your imagination. There was one thing that bothered me though. Films such as the original Amityville, Blair Witch Project, or even the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre profited from not showing the viewer everything they wanted to see. In those films, it was done very well and created a lot of tension. That doesn't work for this film though...at one point, they're all standing around something commenting on how disgusting it is. The camera is looking up at the family from the "thing"'s point of view while they all stare at it, not done well at all. That wasn't a huge problem though, it didn't happen too often. One thing that didn't bother me, but would bother a lot of people was the pacing. This movie is VERY slow in parts, however it needed to be. If you don't like slow movies, this might not be for you. Overall though, this is a very creepy and atmospheric movie that comes highly recommended by me. Check it out!

Epoch: Evolution (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374286/)


Having watched and enjoyed Epoch last week, I was looking forward to this. It wasn't too disapointing, but the first one was definatly better. The actors were actually worse than in the first, which is quite a feat. The plot was somewhat interesting, but once again not nearly as good as the original. The director took this in a much more religious direction, which I think was a very bad idea. The introduction of Mason's kid was a horribly contrived plot point, that lead up to a horribly predictable conclusion. It wasnt all bad though...the Torus's looked as good as ever, and I quite liked the idea of an "evil" Torus. Overall this is worth watching if you're a fan of the first one, but dont be expecting much.

Back to the Future Part II (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096874/)


Though not as good as #1 by any means, this is definatly a worthwhile sequel. Fox and Lloyd both reprise their characters, and do just as good a job as in the first. Biff is without a doubt one of the most easily hated film characters of all time, and he's worse than ever this time around. The plot is ingeniously complex, though that makes it hard to follow at times. I love how it ties in with Part 1 so incredibly well, the writers did a great job. Zemeckis's directing was pretty cool in some parts aswell. Overall, this is a pretty good sequel to an all-time classic. If you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one too.

[Yellow Jacket]

The Benchwarmers- 3.5/5

Though not great or hilarious by any means, Benchwarmers does get some cheap laughs in and does send you home with a warm feeling (and I'm not talking about the piss in your pants). Of course, since this movie only recieved 3.5 out of 5 stars, there are some flaws. First off, the Howie character (who is afraid of the sun and has had himself locked inside for the past six months) was overrused and didn't belong in the movie. I'll admit, I laughed at him once in awhile, but I couldn't shake the feeling that he belonged in a different movie. I also didn't like Gus's backstory (which I will not reveal for the sake of the people who will go see it), but I did find it mediocore and a slap-in-the-face with what the story was about. Lastly, the immaturity of the coaches on the other little league teams was pathetic and unfunny. I know at that age you could still be a bully to others around you. But, to do it in teh same way as you did in grade school, and with the worst insults, just doesn't work and makes the movie falls apart. But, not all is lost (obviously). Like mentioned before, it did hit the funny bone. Maybe not in an effective way (like Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector did (yeah, so sue me, but I liked it)). But, it did get the job done. And the physical comedy worked out really well. Then again, what do you expect from Adam Sandler? But, my favorite part about the movie is David Spade. I don't know what it is, but Spade usually makes me laugh. Maybe it's because he makes fun of himself for being so skinny and weak, even if he doesn't actually show it. All in all, The Benchwarmers was a nice seat in the dugout, and it did put a nice, little smile on my face.

[The_Return]

Back to the Future Part III (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099088/)


This was a great way to close off a classic trilogy. Though it obviously wasnt on par with the first, I think was was almost as enjoyable as Part 2. The plot was much less complicated, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It's a good thing because it's much easier to wrap your head around, however it shows that the writers were more concerned with finishing the series than making another classic. The majority of the cast reprise their roles, and are all as great as ever. The Clara character was kind of annoying, but I can forgive that because she was important to the plot. I liked the ending, great way to end the series. Last but not least, what western fan such as myself wouldnt love the Good, Bad and the Ugly reference! Overall this was a fitting end to a great trilogy. Probably the weakest of the three, but that's definatly not a bad thing.

Chicken Little

Meh... This was a semi-entertaining CGI film, but these types of films are really losing their sense of awe. I remember back when Toy Story and Antz came out and it didn't even really matter if the plot was there because the film were just so visually fresh, it was something cool to watch. Now, these are starting to get somewhat stale and aside from Finding Nemo (Which was great) I haven't seen one in the last several years that really impressed me.

This one was okay, but nothing special. If you got little kids, they'll probably like it.

C


Invasion of the Body Snatchers

I thought this film was great! I was pretty much in to this from start to finish. Well acted, good plot, good suspense. All around great movie.

A-



The Gate

A pretty cheesy PG-13 horror from the mid 80s about a kid (Stephen Dorff) accidently opening a Gate to Hell. It's not horrible, but it is PG-13 and that means they didn't do as much as they coulda with the gore. The main actors all do alright, but the friends of Dorff's sister are both TERRIBLE actors. The plots pretty basic, gore is minimal, actings okay.

god i hated this movie.. so did my wife.
there IS a standard for CGI animation .. and although a lot of them look good ... they still have to have an engaging story and a more subtle approach.

Pr3ssur3 doesnt like the Screams, etc because of the 'smug self awareness' - well this is how i felt about chicken little ... tried too hard to be hip ... ended up being a smarmy mess.

Nosferatu, A Symphony of Terror (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/)


One of the few truely terrifying films ever made, Nosferatu is a classic film, pure and simple. The atmosphere is phenominal, just bristling with that early German style. Max Shrek looks incredible as Orlock, easily the most terrifying image of a vampire of all-time. As for the score, I saw the Type O Negative version. Very uneven, though at times it's truely amazing. In many scenes it seems very out of place, but in others such as the infamous Door scene, it fit perfectly and elevated the tension of an already scary scene. The actors werent very good, but it's not often you see a silent film with good actors. Overall this is one of the only films that can actually scare me. Though Dracula '31 is easily a better film, it doesnt even hold a candle to this in terms of pure scare factor.

Agreed on PotC...Id probably give it a 6. aside from Johnny, I didnt like it much at all. Had a few decent parts, but not phenominal.

I just thought National Treasure was way too long, could have easily cut out at least half an hour.

[newb]

Take 1 cup of "The Ring", and a dash of "The Changelling",stir in a tablespoon of "Dark Water",add a pinch of "Devil's Backbone",shake it up and you have "The Dark" .
You would think with all those ingredients you would have a recipe for success but perhaps it was its unoriginality that brought it down.
Still not a bad movie, good acting,excellent locale with great atmosphere, just had a been there done that feeling to it.

i thought Pirates of the Carribean was one of the most entertaining films i'd seen in ages....
It had more then Depp going for it .. Rush was fun as always and I have no problems with the way Bloom handled himself ..

great sword fight sequences, nice effects .. and yeah .. a terrific score.

I'm looking forward to the sequels.


i wasnt a big fan of national treasure .. its one of those films that is mildly entertaining while you're watching it, but you cant remember a damn thing that happened once it's over.

Parts of Pirates of the Carribean stay with me - and i've watched it several times since the first - and never get bored of it.

well, although it was entertaining, it was very much unrealistic, IE, the complete stupidity of the guards and such, but even though it was meant to be... whatever. I also felt like they just went back and forth the whole time, which they did. Secret cove, sea, secret cove, island, sea, etc.

***POSSIBLE SPOILER***

Like when someone commented on how well the one girl did special effects, etcetera...The new guy was too obvious for a suspect, so he had to be ruled out...It pretty much unfolded when the affair was revealed...

just the way different people's thought processes work, I guess....As for Skeleton Key...

***MORE POSSIBLE SPOILERS***

I figured they had taken over the kids...and I knew that the old woman was the servant woman (the picture with the servant woman, where she's smoking cinched it)...I was just trying to figure out what was up with the husband...I knew the lawyer was involved, just not sure how...Yeah, I SHOULD have put that together, but I thought when they took the bodies, the body they left behind just died....So, that threw me off


***POSSIBLE LITTLE SPOILER THAT COULD RUIN THE WHOLE THING***......:p

As for Shattered...The first time I saw it, I was much younger...And yeah...It DID surprise me...I really believed the husband was the husband...Looking back, I really should have picked up on it...

Theatre of Blood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070791/)


Vincent Price meets Shakespeare to create one of the most memorable and greatest horror films of all-time. Edward Lionheart commits suicide after being shunned at the Critics Circle awards, but he miraculously survives...to take his gory revenge! This was easily one of Price's best roles, second only perhaps to Don Medina from Pit and the Pendulum. He essentially plays an exaggerated version of himself, which makes for some fine subtle humor. In fact dark comedy pervades this film, making for some very uncomfortable scenes. The gore and deaths are especially well done, all look very realistic and bloody. The writing was phenomenal, I love how they incorporated so many of Shakespeare's works into the film, even his lesser known works such as Cymbeline play important roles. To sum up, this is one of the all-time greatest horror films and is essential viewing for any horror fan.
