I actually almost bought that last week, but I noticed that it's R rated. Oh the curses of youth...;)

The Frighteners (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116365/)

From the first time I watched it over a year ago this has been one of my favourite films. The opening credits alone are enough to impress most people : Micheal J. Fox, Jeffery Combs, R. Lee Ermey, Dee Wallace Stone, effects by Rick Baker, written and directed by Peter Jackson...a veritable who's-who of Hollywood and horror. The plot is incredible, full of surprises, laughs, scares and fun. I can vouch for the fact that it can stand up to numerous viewings; other than Dracula and House on Haunted Hill, I cant think of a film that I've watched as many times as this, and it keeps getting better every time. The actors are phenomenal, the effects are very realistic and cool, the plot is interesting and very original...this is basically a perfect movie. I can only think of a handful of films that deserve a perfect 10, but this is certainly one of them.

10/10

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

Funny little shlock film, in the so bad it's good catagory for me though. I loved the way the film was done, good stuff and I'm glad I got to see this one.

The remake is definately worth a watch - has some good effects.

However, for me it just can't come close to the original. Romero's Dawn of the Dead seems to me to have a rhythm and pacing about it that is just right. Makes it feel a lot shorter than its running time. The characters develop a depth about them that somehow doesn't require lengthy character-building scenes outside of the main plotline. A great piece of film making.

[AnnieMiller]

I have to say I wasn't that sure about it before I watched it but I got so engrossed in it I didn't even notice how long it was. It's definately up there now with my all time favourites - I'll have to watch the remake now though just for comparison sake if nothing else.

Why aren't there more films like this?:(

I know what you mean... I watched this movie a few weeks ago, for the first time in a long while (a few years) and enjoyed it so much that I replayed it straight away to listen to the director's commentary.

Have you seen Suspiria? Totally different movie I know, but another film that has that elusive atmosphere that transcends the subject matter. Masterful.

Is one of them that this film is tremendously over-rated for a second rate Matrix rip off?



Dawn of the Dead is simply spectacular. Along with Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it is one of the two best horror films of the 70s.

The remake was pretty good as well, but it can't come close to the artisticness of the original. Lots of good gore and it's well acted though.

Suspiria seemed like Argento was trying too hard to be visceral and atmospheric. It seemed forced. Other than that, it was a pretty good movie, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near the original Dawn of the Dead's league.

[AnnieMiller]

That's what I'm talking about - Texas Chainsaw Massacre and now Dawn of the Dead - there just doesn't seem to be films made to the same standard. Now they seem to rely far too heavily on special effects (which don't get me wrong when used well can help create an amazing film) but the special effects seem to be used in place of plot and characters. What's going on, is it just easier for the directors to take an insubstantial plotline and rubbish acting and hope that the special effects cover the multitude of sins - because they don't. Anyway rant over.

As for Suspiria - no haven't seen it will put it on my "to watch list" which is getting far too long!

[The Flayed One]

The original Dawn of the Dead...it's hard to describe how much I enjoyed it when I first watched it. I was completely glued to the set. I my cousin and I looked at each other after it was over in disbelief, rewound it and watched it again while drinking some beers. I haven't seen it in years, which makes me very sad.


As for last seen movie: Walk the Line.

I've always liked Johnny Cash. I never really read much about his life, so I can't attest as to the movies accuracy. It was a great watch, though. I thought J. Phoenix did a great job. I haven't seen a movie I liked R. Witherspoon this much in since Freeway. All in all, a solid watch.

oh man ..
how much of this film was even comparable to the matrix ?
a 2 minute fight in the hallway ?

people are grasping to that comparrison because its the closest they can come to nailing some kind of label to it.

i enjoyed the 1st matrix - dont get me wrong ... but Equilibrium had just as much going for it (better acting for one) and the plot was just as engaging.

Equilibrium definately borrowed from sources - but literary ones, not film.
It was a mix of Farenheight 451, Brave New World, and 1984 - yet somehow came off fresh and new and with nice FXs that betrayed the moderate budget.

people hype the film more than what some people might like because it caught the fans unaware. the most common thing said is "how the hell did this get under the radar ?"
It is a fantastic film - that feels even moreso because it was unknown and people were taken by suprise at how good it was because of the lack of advertising.

the only hype is word of mouth.

how can that be constrewed as over-rated ? its the voice of the fans.

[cheebacheeba]

Agreed...I'm a bit sick of the constant matrix comparisons...there just arent enough reasons...they're both decent films...you don't have to try and hate one to like the other.

Last THING I watched was a cartoon I randomly downloaded called "clone high", this here is a funny, good quality show. I'd reccomend it.

I agree with bwind22. Equilibrium is totally overrated in here.

Yes, it has Christian Bale staring it. Yes, it has a semi great story..... And that´s about it.

[bwind22]

Are you guys kidding me?


You don't see the Matrix similarities? Were you two watching it blindfolded?


I'm not talking about a 2 minute fight in the hallway. I'm talking about the entire movie from start to finish. They took from The Matrix's plot, their wardrobe, their shooting scenes. The whole movie was like a Matrix ripoff. I noticed less than 5 minutes in to the film.


When I say it's over-rated, I'm refering to it being over-rated on this website. (By people much like yourselves who seem to overlook the fact that it's nothing more than a pretty good sci-fi/action film with a totally borrowed plot.)

And by the way, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the acting in The Matrix. (At least not the first one.) I'm not saying I thought one film had better acting than the other. They were both well acted.

woah ... have you read either Farenheight 451, Brave New World, or 1984 ?

i'm thinking no or you wouldnt have mentioned the plot thing.

the plot behind the matrix was more like The Island.
an artificial existance needed to sustain life to provide power/spare parts to others (be it machine or person)

Equilibrium was a out losing the right of freedom to feel.
a whole different ballgame - nothing whatsoever like plot of The Matrix.

if you mean 'the hope of the world resting on one mans shoulders' then you could add about 2000 movies to that list - before and after the matrix

[cheebacheeba]

Even if there WAS such a similarity, I wouldn't think fans of the matrix should have a problem with that anyway...I mean, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the fact that it WAY more heavily "borrowed" from dark city...

[newb]

I have to agree with the last two post concerning Equilibrium.
I never heard of it until STE mentioned on this very fine site, and when i watched it i was very impressed.And other than the hallway scene there are no similarities with The Matrix.

[Yeti.13]

Can't they just both be good films without caring about the similarities. I prefered Equibrium myself, Mr Reeves can't act to save his life but that's another matter and only my opinion.

that actually served The Matrix well..
Neo wasnt supposed to be that dynamic a person anyway.


its not actually that he's a bad actor - depending on his role ..
he has no range and i think he is cast with that restriction in mind.

i'm sure he remembers his lines, hits his marks, etc ...

I am hoping by now that people casting him in movies understand his capabilities and hire him accordingly.

(i.e. the roll in constantine ... i think a low key performance suited that movie also)

[The_Return]

Freddy Vs Jason (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329101/)


*Spoilers*

This movie is purely mindless slasher fun, and doesn't try to be anything more. The plot is just a flimsy pretext to get the two icons together, but it works pretty good and kept me at least somewhat interested throughout. The characters/actors are typical slasher fodder, no better or worse than usual. Like most post-Scream slasher films, it feels the need to poke fun at itself, however it does it more subtly than most with characters like Freeburg. Englund does a great job as always as the wise-cracking Freddy. Though the less wordy, serious Freddy from the first Nightmare film may be scarier, I really enjoy Freddy like this, spouting one-liners and catch phrases by the handful. The film isn't serious to begin with, and he really adds to that. I don't see why people complain about Ken Kerzinger, I think he did as good a job as anyone else that has played Jason...not like it would really take a lot to play that kind of part. The final battle between the icons is a tad disappointing, but I liked the outcome more than most. I was cheering for Freddy. Sure, Freddy technically loses, but I think that's a testament to him being the better villain: Think about it, the villain always loses in slasher movies. In that respect, I say Freddy won and rightfully deserved to. Overall this is a fun movie for a rainy day, thats it thats all. Don't be looking for something on par with the original Nightmare on Elm Street, but it's still a fun movie.

[AnnieMiller]

Re good old Keanu - I loved Constantine and conversely Much ado About Nothing. But yes it must be said he excels at one type of role but nothing wrong with that if he has the sense to stick with it.



As for what I've just watched - Ice Harvest a very respectable 8 out of 10 and this simply because it's pure fun - believe me I didn't think there was much more to it, although I do like John Cusack.

[AnnieMiller]

By the way complete afterthought - I saw a film years ago and can't for the life of me remember what it's called can anyone help me out? By the way I remember it has very good.

Ok very brief plot synopsis.

A rare book collector gets caught up in a supernatura/devil worshiping cult when he gets his hands on one of their most prized books. He ends up following "clues" as to the books origins which leads him all over Europe - and of course he is being continually chased and in fear of his life. If I remember correctly there are a number of stages or gates that he is to go through. The cultists of course require the book in time for their extremely important ritual. I think he pairs up with what appears to be a beautiful backbacker (yawn only in a film could a backbacker travelling across Europe with no showers anywhere be stunningly beautiful) anyway they form an uneasy alliance neither really trusting the other until the end of the film. I can't remember too much more except I think it may have been called something like Seventh Gate??

Would really like to watch it again and see if it is as good as I remember.

All help greatly appreciated.

Ive said it before, I count these as short films.

Masters of Horror: Incident on and Off a Mountain Road (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0643107/)


Though the plot is very predictable and not original in the least, this is still pretty good. I wont spoil the plot for those of you that haven't seen a horror movie before, but it's pretty straight forward and has a really obvious "twist" at the end. That isn't to say that the plot isn't good, it kept me interested, it was just very derivative and predictable. The actors all did well, especially Angus Scrimm as a delightfully looney old man. The main girl wasn't too bad, but I really didn't like her character for reasons that I wont go into, for fear that I might spoil the plot for those of you with pickled brains. It had moments where it was very atmospheric and tense that I really liked, but the chase got on my nerves pretty quick. Moonface wasn't a great character as it leaves way to many questions. It's nice to leave a few questions about a slasher, but I would have liked to know at least a little about him. Overall, not as good as the Carpenter or Gordon episodes, but still good.

i love that movie ...

#1) cant go wrong with Polanski (unless you're a 13 year old girl)
#2) Langella is always great
#3) Depp did a nice job in a seedy role
#4) being a book collector myself i loved the way old books were highlighted .. full of texture .. you could almost smell them watching the film.

I don't plan on watching Equillibrium again any time soon to confirm, but I do know that the entire time I watched it I could not shake the feeling that it was a wannabe Matrix. For more thoughts on it, check out my 1 minute movie review of it by clicking the link in my sig.

I don't see much similarity between The Matrix and Dark City other than that they are both movies about a dark future. Dark City wasn't even an action movie.

[urgeok]

(or artificially created and controlled life experiences)


I always thought Dark City itself borrowed from the visual style of Hellraiser ..


lets face it folks .. a lot of people have come to the conclusion that in the future people will be wearing long dark leather coats with big collars. It looks cool so people are using it.
They've also decided (and this has been a prediction in literature for almost 100 years) that in the future there will be a controlled state... no doubt as a back lash to the growing unlawlessness we're seeing today.

this is a complicated question that has captured the imaginations of countless writers and filmmakers .. "how much personal freedom are we prepared to sacrifice for a safe existence??"

so yeah, both stylishly and thematically you will definately see these similarities in futuristic movies ... The only thing the MAtri introduced that was really 'new' was the 'bullet time' which itself is getting a little old and is being mocked now in countless other movies. (sometimes something that is 'too cool for it's own good' can become goofy really fast)

anyway - the point i'm trying to make is that it is ok to remake the same film over and over if done correctly - and the same thing goes for films that are influenced by other films.

for example if we start comparing films with vampires in them (that almost all derrived from 1 main source) then we'll be here for a year...

That's why I enjoyed Dracula 2000 more than most people I know. It was a totally original twist on the vampire legend. (The whole Judas connection.) I thought that was awesome, plus there was a decent amount of gore too.

And how can you not like Drac2000 when you were just saying how the same old vampire story has been done hundreds of times? I would think a new twist on an old story would be like a breath of fresh air for you. It was for me.

You can also say Peckinpah was ripping of Kurosawa.

Masters of Horror: Chocolate (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0643101/)


I'd heard some bad things about this so I wasn't expecting much, but I was quite surprised. Though Garris does have some good films under his belt, I'd be hard pressed to call him a "master". That said, this was a very good offering. I really enjoyed the plot, even though I'm not usually a fan of psychic stuff. It moved at a good pace until the end, it had some twists, and still left room for a bit of comedy. With one glaring exception the actors were all pretty good. That exception is the girl that our hero was psychically linked with, her delivery was flat and I just overall think she could have done a better job. All in all though, I recommend this. Not as good as the first 2 Masters of Horror DVDs, but a little better than Incident On and Off a Mountain Road.

Great slasher film, lots of fun, I'm thinking of picking this one up because I'll probably want to see it again down the road but maybe it's just one of those multiple rentals.





As far as ripping off movies or being influenced by them, humans have been around so long that original thought is dead. 99% of everything you think of or see has probably already been thought of and either kept to the originator of the idea or acted upon in some way. Just enjoy, if it's good who cares if somebody did it in another way another time? If it isn't good... don't watch it again or turn it off. I don't condone blatant ripping off of Koontz novels for your movie without any kind of recognition but I think with other ideas to see and work with greater things are created eventually.

When A Stranger Calls (original)

Well, this was decent, but not great. Also, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. There wasn't too much gore, but the acting was good. The story was alright and the direction was fine. I'm sure it was scary when it came out, but it's not any more.

Puff, Puff, Pass

I never had heard of this movie but noticed it on Netflix and being a smoker, I couldn't resist checking it out. It has Danny Masterson (Hyde from That 70s Show), Mekhi Phifer and a few cameos by folks like Seth Green and Darryl Hammond (Actually, his role is more than a cameo.)

Anyways, I wasn't really expecting much from it so I wasn't let down, but I wasn't exactly pleasently surprised either. It was okay, but not great. There were some parts that were funny, but on the whole this movie lacked humor. It was well acted and kept a pretty good pace though. I wasn't bored with it, I just wasn't thuroughly entertained either.

An American Haunting.

Was real excited to see this.

So I went to the theatre.

It has great sound effects and lots of great "spookhouse" action, with stuff jumping out at you. Not very subtle with its visuals, most of the time. But if you like spook rides and cheesy scares, this has a lot of that. I recommend seeing it in a theatre with a bitchin' sound system.

It is not, unfortunately, a good story with interesting characters. I thought it was going to be, but I think it is a "take it as what it is" movie.

If you love loud noises, noises crawling around the theatre in 3D sound, and stuff jumping out at you suddenly, this is your ticket.

Oh yeah: the distinctive howl of the American Werewolf In London makes a special guest appearance at one point. But if you recognize it, then that means you're old.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096438/)


When I'm not feeling great, there's nothing Id rather do than sit back with a nice cold can of Coke and good, light comedy. Let me tell you folks, it doesn't get much better than this. A classic in the truest sense of the word. Bob Hoskins makes for a great private eye, easily one of the best roles I've seen him in. I always like to see Christopher Lloyd as a villain, and here he's at his over-the-top maniacal best. Of course, how could I not mention the effects? The toons fit seamlessly into the "real world", and Hoskins fits just as perfectly in Toon Town. Speaking of Toon Town, that is easily one of the best parts of the movie, filled with classic cameos, great effects, and hilarious gags. Overall this is one of the funniest movies you'll ever see as well as pure movie magic all-around.

Deathwatch (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286306/)


I'm usually not a big fan of war movies, but this is the second war-themed horror film that I've watched recently, and I've really enjoyed both. The other was The Bunker, and Id say this was slightly better. The plot isn't anything overly original, about a company of soldiers that stumble across an abandoned German trench, but it's pulled off very well. The director does a great job creating atmosphere, the perpetual rain and mud in the claustrophobic trenches make for some pretty creepy scenes. The entire cast does a good job, especially Andy Serkis of Gollem fame and Jamie Bell from Billy Elliot. They lead a very talented ensemble cast, all of whom play their characters to perfection. In films like this the characters often blend together, but not here thanks to the above-average performances. It has the kind of ending where you think you know what's going to happen, then you're slapped upside the head with something totally different. It seems pretty obvious after watching it, but I guarantee you that you wont see the ending coming. This film shares it's one major downfall with many war movies: It's brutally slow pacing. There are scenes that seem to go on forever, especially near the first. Otherwise, this is a very well made and creepy film that I highly recommend.

Hey a little respect please - it may not compare as regards special effects to films of today but directors then were innovative - they were the ones who paved the way for films that are made today - early films like Nosferatu (1922) were ground breakers. Go watch some classics you'd have to be a retard not to appreciate them.

The Hound of the Baskervilles [1959] (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052905/)


Ah, you can't go wrong with Hammer. On the back of the DVD, Newsweek proudly proclaims "The Best of the Sherlocks!", and I have to agree. This is the role that Peter Cushing was born to play, it's a shame he didn't play it as often as he did Van Helsing. His mannerisms, his delivery, even his looks, everything about him is perfect Holmes. The rest of the cast are pretty good too, dont get me wrong, but Cushing puts them to shame. Though he is rather ominous in some scenes, it's nice to see Christopher Lee opposite Cushing as a good guy for a change. I really liked the classic plot, full of surprises, great characters, humor and lots of chances for Cushing to shine. The atmosphere is great, foggy and dark like many Hammer films. Perfect for horror. All in all this is a really fun film, though it does have a few pretty cheesy moments. Good film overall though.

The Greatest Game Ever Played 9/10
I really enjoyed this movie, especially since it was based on actual events and real people. I thought the little kid who was his caddie was something Hollywood added in, but it turns out that he was real also. In the bonus features you get to see the film and pics of the real Francis, and pics of the real Eddie. Well acted and directed, I would recommend this film from the most avid golfer to the weekly hacker(myself). Even if you don't play golf you might enjoy it.

Hills Have Eye 7/10
I just saw this at the cheap theatres, and I surprisingly enjoyed it. The acting is good and the atmosphere created by the director was done well also. I need to go back and see the original, as I don't remember much of it. I would not pay full price for it, but I would recommend you check it out at a discount theatre, or on DVD.

The Return of the Pink Panther (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072081/)


Put simply, Peter Sellers is a comic genius. Inspector Clouseau is one of the greatest characters ever to be put on film, and though this might not be his best outing, it's still hilarious. Sellers is in top form as always, and keeps the gags fast, frequent and undeniably funny. The obligatory Kato ambush here is one of the best of the series, without a doubt. Herbert Lom is great, slowly losing his mind as Chief Inspector Dreyfus. His reactions are priceless, and I'd have to say he does some of his best work of the series in this film. One thing that I didn't particularly care for was the subplot with Sir Charles Litton. It was well acted and interesting, but seemed very out of place in a Pink Panther movie, it was much too serious and too much like an actual spy film. That doesn't detract a lot, but I do wish more time would have been spent with Clouseau. Overall though, this is one of the best entries in the Pink Panther saga. Not as good as Shot in the Dark or as over-the-top as some of the later films, but still very funny and enjoyable.

Mine would go:


A Shot in the Dark
The Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Return of the Pink Panther
Revenge of the Pink Panther
Trail of the Pink Panther


Also, have you checked out the original "The Ladykillers" yet? Genious comedy. Anchor Bay's got it out on DVD for around $10, worth every penny.

[The_Return]

A Shot in the Dark
Pink Panther Strikes Again
Return of the Pink Panther
Revenge of the Pink Panther
Trail of the Pink Panther


Basically the same as yours, sans the original. It's been years since I saw the first Pink Panther, and I hardly remember any of it, so I left it off the list. Really need to watch it again.

As for The Ladykillers, I looked for it at Futureshop and CD Plus, but no luck, as usual.

Ouch. Well keep your eye out.



Last night/this morning I watched:

-The Fly (1986)- (7/10) This was my first time seeing this movie, and I'm certainly glad I did. Although not as good as the original V.P. classic, this gross little Croenenberg flick was well worth my time. A great spin on the original story, good 1980s acting, and some cool effects (Ex. the arm wrestling scene: neat-o!)

-Blazing Saddles (1974)- (10/10) I've seen this probably ten times, and I easily hold it as my favorite comedy (although Airplane! takes a close second), and one of my favorite movies in general. Mel Brooks did a great job with the witty dialogue and the goofy but very entertaining storyline. What an awesome cast, too. The perfect comedy.

And just now I watched:

-Halloween (1978)- (10/10) The omega of all bogeyman movies, and, in my opinion, the greatest horror movie of all time. The atmosphere is such a contradicting one; once we get comfortable, we feel claustrophobic. A great cast, most especially Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasense (but excluding the girl who uses the word "totally" so damn often...). And I've said it before and I'll say it again: Michael Myers, at least in the first two films of the series, is the most believable and scary killer to ever grace the silver screen. I can only think of two horror films that I would give a 10/10 rating to, and this is one of them.

I really liked both movies but liked Get Shorty better, my fiance however thought Be Cool was better and the plot was more solid. Anyway, both good films, how's the Be Cool dvd? Lots of extras?

As for MI 3 I want to go just to see the Hanso Foundation thanked in the credits.

[The_Return]

On the whole Tom Cruise thing, I dont mind his acting at all. He's been in alot of great films, most of which Cheeba listed. The thing that I cant stand about the guy is how you cant turn around without seeing his face or hearing some pointless detail of his personal life. I couldnt care less about his new baby, or what he did on Oprah, or what he believes in...if I had my way I wouldnt even know about it. Gets on my nerves.

Anyway, back on topic...still a similar topic though...



Mission: Impossible III (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317919/)


Explosions, car chases, helicopters and non-stop action...what else would you expect? I was actually really surprised with this movie to be honest. Not having seen the other 2 films in the series I didn't really know what to expect, however I had it pegged as a brainless action flick. Though I wasn't exactly wrong in that assumption, it was better than your typical brainless action flick. Tom Cruise does a pretty good job as usual, but he wish more of his screen time would have been used on the supporting cast, Philip Seymour Hoffman in particular. He was a great villain, but we didn't get to see him nearly as much as I would have liked. Simon Pegg's small role was great as well. The plot was basic and straight-forward, but definitely exciting. I wish they would have spent less time on the whole family aspect though, a pointless and failed attempt to give the movie a deeper meaning. The effects were great of course, but the bridge scene went on way too long. It was like they had an explosion quota they had to meet. Despite it's flaws, however, it put a smile on my face, put me on the edge of my seat and kept me entertained for it's duration. Abd in the end, that counts for more than you'd expect.

I agree that he has made some good movies in his career, but I have to disagree with you about anyone prying into his personal life. If you want to keep your personal life private, don't put the shit out there for people to see. Don't behave like a freaking weirdo in public and people won't pry so much.

Tamara- 2.5/5

First off, I'm getting tired of these "bullied girls who turn into sociopathic killers" horror movies. I just wanted to get that off of my chest awhile. Anyway, Tamara had some interesting kills, but the plot flopped. At times it seemed like you were watching a slasher flick, then the next minute it feels like you're watching a drama. The movie could not make up its mind. And, it felt like Carrie half of the time, which really seemed to bother me (though, this wou;d've made for a better The Rage: Casrrie 2).

That's not his fault, I'm pretty sure he's not that crazy about being stalked everyday of his life. As far as what he himself talks about, well he has to go on talk shows, SNL and other places to promote his films and all he does is answer the questions they ask. So it's the majority of the public who watch 'Entertainment Tonight', 'The Soup' and other shows of the same type just to find out shit like who Hilary Duff went out with this week are to blame, not him. Now if you think he can't act or his movies are shitty that's one thing but to not see a movie because of a participant's personal life that's been pryed into unwillingly more often than not makes no sense to me what so ever. Russell Crowe is in the news from time to time mostly because of his temper but I don't give a fuck, he was in Gladiator, L.A. Confidential, A Beautiful Mind ect. So I'm going to keep watching his movies regardless of the bullshit that has nothing to do with me.

I prefer the Lundgren version. I did enjoy the 2004 version but felt the original film was a better interpretation of the comic. The 2004 Frank Castle is a bit too romantic and senstive for my liking.

[dark thoughts]

Good thing to know. Maybe I'll rent it or look for it on serious sale. After all Frank Castle is the Punisher no Casanova.

[persuasian70]

Dolph Lundgren was one of the worst casting decisions ever in a movie. It was like having Don Knotts play the Godfather instead of brando. The new Punisher movie is so much better than the old one. Back then. none of the Marvel comic book movies were any good.

[AnnieMiller]

LA Confidential is one of the best films I've seen with excellent acting by Russell Crowe. He definitely stole the show.

Although on a completely different theme is co-star (another aussie) Guy Pearce was completely hilarious in The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Dessert. Worth watching.

[The_Return]

Flightplan (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408790/)


This movie could be renamed "Quickchange". Not only does it fit with parts of the plot, it fits with a lot of things. First off, it fits with Jodie Foster's acting. She starts off calm, cool and happy...then before you can say "lost kid" she goes completely insane. No slow descent into panic, she's there right off the start and doesn't let up until the end. Another way that "Quickchange" could apply is to how fast the film pulls itself out of the gutter. The first hour and ten minutes or so are awful, full of idiotic characters, poor acting, obvious twists and even a couple plot holes. All of a sudden however, things start to change. A twist is introduced that actually makes sense and that I actually didn't see coming. The acting becomes at least bearable, Foster tones herself down quite a bit, thankfully. All in all, this isn't a bad movie. It really picks up near the end, don't give up too fast!

7/10

PS - Was anyone else reminded of The Lady Vanishes? Much better film, but this reminded me of it in parts.

No way. The Punisher was one of the better late 80s action/revenge flicks. Its a underated classic in my opinion. I dug how it had a really sadistic female villian. I was a big fan of action flicks in the 80s and this is still one I enjoy watching.

I just rewatched Crumb. I've been checkin' out documentries latley and this is still one of my favorites.

Oh man. This particular horror movie 4 pack (Hell in the Family) stinks! So far, the three films I've watched from it have all been terrible! And not "good" or "funny" terrible either, just terrible terrible.

No gore, bad acting, pretty lame plot....

The movie has more than decent effects but the original had better performances, esp from Gene Hackman. If you loved the original, its worth a look, just for the effects and the deaths.

Horrible! No good performances (Bridget Fonda's weakest performance), the appearance of Steven Weber almost made me puke my guts out (almost), and the story was boring, repetitive, and slow.

The camera kept shaking, the lighting was off (too dark for me to see at times), and some bad directing (I couldn't see a damn thing thanks to the haywire camera angles) almost drove me insane. This must be how they torture damned souls in the fiery pits of hell. They just show them these piles of shit!

King Kong [2005]

It was alright. I expected a lot more due to how many rave reviews it received. Also, it seemed like there were too many parts where I was just like "yeah, right". Ah well. I'd give it a 3.5/5.

Hmmm.... This was okay as far as kids movies go, but I really didn't see much point to it. I kept trying to tell myself that there doesn't need to be much point to a kids movie, but the plot just seemed stupid... even for kids. It's really too bad too because with all the talented actors they had doing voices (Chevy Chase, Jon Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, William H. Macy, Jimmy Fallon), this movie should have been a lot better than it was and it also should have done a lot better in the theatres than it did. But the plot was very poor and the film flopped. Now I know why.

History Of Violence

Again...this was just alright. I saw people listing this as the best non-horror film of 2005 so I had big expactations. There were a few cool kill scenes but that's about it. The plot was hella short and it felt like the whole movie was only like 45 minutes long. Anyways, I'd give it a solid 3/5 rating.

You're telling me that you went into a movie about a film crew going to an uncharted island, inhabited by an undiscovered culture and a 25 foot ape who's captured and taken back to New York for show only to escape and tear through the city looking for a girl who he finds, proceeds to climb the empire state building from which he is eventually shot down from expecting realism?


If you're unable(or unwilling) to suspend your belief, you're gonna miss out on alot of great film experiences.

The plot was short which is what I LOVED about the movie. It told a story from start to finish with little bs inbetween. Short, to the point, and VERY well done. I loved this one because of the brevity, I'm tired of 2 hour movies that don't NEED to be 2 hours long.

I just watched 40 Year Old Virgin last night. I avoided it for quite some time, but I like Steve Carell too much. You know what? It was pretty funny. Steve definately made the movie.

[alkytrio666]

It's funny, I thought it was dumb.

And I don't like Steve Carell. I find him obnoxious and annoying and not at all funny. (Except in Anchorman.)

But then again, I'm a comedy snob to the max. The only truly great comedy movies, in my opinion, that have come out within the last 10 years, are Swingers, Made, and Office Space.

I just watched City Of God. This movie is fuckin' brilliant. Its been awhile since a 2 hour movie has kept me captivated. Shame I missed out on this one on the big screen because the cinematography was amazing and seeing it at the cinema would've done it more justice. Anyone else watched this one? It had a bunch of hype a couple of years back.

The Frigteners (1996)- (7.5/10)

Not much to say. Return suggested this, I rented it, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'd watch it again. Some of the acting was over-the-top, but I thought Fox actually did a pretty good job, and Dee Wallace, too.

Very entertaining, good way to spend a Wednesday evening. Thanks, Return.

Swingers is one of my favorite movies, and I haven't seen Office Space, but I bought Made because it had Vince and Jon in it. Jon also directed it. God, it was one of my worst purchases ever. I really didn't like the movie at all.

What!?!?!? How can you like Swingers but not Made? I don't get it. They were both written and directed aqnd starring the same people. IMO, Vince Vaughn's performance in made is 10 times funnier than he is in Swingers!

The Ringer


Well, this was pretty stupid and distasteful, but it did have a few funny moments. I think they tried to disguise the distastefulness of it by having Johnny Knoxville at first want nothing to do with the plan and then by having him act like a bigger goon than just about anyone else in the movie but it still comes off as cruel. I don't know... It was about what I expected, which wasn't all that much.

Finally managed to get a copy of the Ninth Gate and it was every bit as good as I remembered.

Also watched Sin City - jury is still out on this one - great plot but less is more know what I mean - it just had the feel of being a bit overcooked.

Talking about being overcooked - Mr and Mrs Smith - I couldn't help it as much as I like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie this just didn't work for me. It was so predictable and dare I say it boring
:mad:

And last but by no means least Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - laugh out loud funny - I really liked it:

As you can tell had a bit of a DVD fest today!

Sorry I already own the original Mr and Mrs Smith and to my mind the so called remake has nothing on Hitchcock's Mr and Mrs Smith - ok perhaps the marriage counselling has a similarity in that they each are attempting to be truthful but apart from the film title that for me is as far as it goes.

I really liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith, this little subtle things when they're trying to out each other. Fun movie with a lot of humor that was very over the top. I've seen it with a few people who really enjoyed it but it isn't for everyone. Odd too because I think Pitt's ok and Jolie is one of the most over-rated actresses ever. Maybe I expected less. Oh, the movie wasn't a remake of the Hitchcock film with the same title but loosely based on a television show starring Scott Bakula and Maria Bello.


I just watched a couple great movies to help relax me before Saturday...

Maltese Falcon and Dr. Frankenstein Must be Destroyed

Great films, both classics, I hadn't had the opportunity to see either of these before so needless to say they were a real treat. Peter Cushing is excellent as the mad doctor.

9/10 Some plot holes, and annoyances, convieniently placed cars, etc, but its an action movie, its ok, haha. It had some great fight scenes, lots of explosions etc, and is definently the best of the 3 MI movies. Very much worth a theater view.

[The_Return]

Tombstone (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108358/)


A public service announcement to anyone that hasn't seen this movie: Watch it now! I just saw it for the first time, and it's easily the best movie I've seen in months.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but, in my opinion, characters are likely the most important aspect of a film. That said, the characters here couldn't be better, each one has their own distinct personality, they all have moments to shine and, most importantly, they are all superbly acted. Top honours in that category go, of course, to Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday. Simply one of the best characters ever to grace the screen, no more needs to be said. Kurt Russell also did a very good job as celebrated lawman Wyatt Earp. The supporting cast are great as well, but these two certainly stand out...especially Kilmer.

I wont get in to how great the plot is so that I don't spoil it. I'll just leave it at this: it's an enthralling story that will keep you glued from beginning to end, surprise you at times, and even saves time to make you laugh. Very well written, very well played out. Even the music is great, which is something that I often overlook.

In conclusion, I'm a huge western fan. In fact, next to horror, I'd have to say they are my favourite genre of film. Despite being fairly recent, this film ranks among the best and has certainly earned it's spot as one of my favourite films.

9/10

[Posher778]

Hmm, I actually didn't really like tombstone, but then again, I wasn't paying much attention, maybe i'll rent it sometime and try again.

Given that it was about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the gonads it wasn't lost on me! However I always feel the need to FULLY explain my actions, I think its a weakness.

Robocop 2

[ManchestrMorgue]

Last night I watched:

The Night Stalker (the telemovie).

Lots of fun, I remember some of the series but have not seen the movie prior to last night. Well worth a watch. Love watching these old telemovies - the dramatic score rises as the picture fades out - cue advertisement break - then half a second later the next scene fades in with some equally dramatic music. Priceless.


Followed that up with:

Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Hadn't seen this before, either. An early 80's Italian zombie movie, it has some interesting moments. Chiefly, the son of one of the female leads (obviously played by a jockey-esque adult) with an unresolved oedipus complex bites the nipple off his mother's left breast after he is transformed into a zombie. The ending, however, was sudden and I was hoping to see the final scene completed to its natural conclusion. Nevertheless the pace of the film was infectious, and despite (or perhaps because of?) the cheesy acting, minimalist plot, and marginal special effects (more obvious due to the very clean DVD reproduction), I was hooked. Will be worth a repeat viewing at some stage.

[noctuary]

War of the Worlds (remake)

Not a great movie by any means, but very entertaining nonetheless. The special effects were really amazing. Even though I don't normally put a whole lot of stock in them, I have to give Spielberg and Co. props for that. Is it wrong that I wanted the aliens to win? Overall: 7/10

[cheebacheeba]

Went to see "Slither".
Spent a bit too much time setting up/introducing characters for a horror movie of this kind, but when it got into it it was fun.
Nice effects and makeup, it was funny and fucked up...although I felt it ended just when it was getting good.
Nathan Fillion should be in more films like this, he seems right for 'em...If they ever adapted the walking dead to film, I'm sure he could handle the role of Rick pretty well...

I watched Parents last night. Fairly decent movie. I think I prefer Society for the whole whats happening behind the picket fences kinda deal.

Flash Gordon ..

showed this to a friend of mine so i saw it for the 20th time.

I love this movie ,, gorgeous to look at, amazing Queen soundtrack, and actors gleefully dishing up the most deliberately corny lines you'll ever hear in one movie ..

but i do have a nice widescreen laserdisc :)


to really 'get' this movie it helps if you've read the comics from back in the day - you get a better sense of what they were shooting for re. the artistic vision ...
i think this movie deserved some kind of award for set/fashion design.

i always loved the title sequence as well.

Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain

This was a low budget film starring a couple of porn stars and Richard Greico. Not very good at all. There was a small amount of gore, but it looked shitty. Much less nudity than you'd expect with 2 female pornstars in the leads roles and the plot itself was pretty weak. All in all, save yourself some time and skip it.

D+




When a Stranger Calls (remake)

I almost liked this better than the original. It seemed to drag less and had a faster pace to it. I also liked the new re-telling of the story better than the old. The acting was fine, the direction was fine. The only missing was the gore, which was basically non-existent on screen. Overall, this was a pretty good remake of an average-to-begin-with film.

C+
