Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[42ndStreetFreak]

The sadly disappointing "I Bury the Living" (http://www.beardyfreak.com/rvbury.htm)

[urgeok]

i always thought that the 70's was one of the greatest decades for filmmaking.. (especially for horror and action) and the end of an era...

I used to wonder why .. was it because i was first watching films then ... was it because they had more grit - more texture ...

then it hit me ... in the 70's horror films were for the most part - movies staring adults .. seasoned actors - mature themes.

In '78 Carpenter came along and showed us how things would change .. an effective, wildly successful film featuring mostly teenagers being dispatched by a madman.. which would set the pace for the next couple of decades.
Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St ...tons of others ..
The focus was on the teenage demographic.

So now we have a horror film culture that is primarily teen based.
Another major player in this was the VCR. In the past serious horror films were mostly rated R. Kids couldnt get in ..
but now with the VCR kids are seeing more horror films .. becoming more 'jaded' and ate the stuff up creating a demand .. for more teen horror films.

We all know this trend is still strong today with few exeptions.
Its the kids that pay to see films. Adults seem to find it a chore to go to the theatre, and when they rent films for the weekend ... well its generally not some grade c slasher flick.
(i'm talking average joe here - not the folks on this board)

Anyway - this is was the long way of explaining why some people love The Omen and some dont.
You'll find the latter to be young people .. who want to see young bodies in the roles, not people the age of their parents ...which is too bad.
The Omen is one of my favorite films - and i saw it when i was a kid ... but i enjoyed seeing adults being put through the paces .. it seemed far more believable to me than a bunch of sex starved teenage morons being sliced and diced in an abandoned mall.

So when i see a film like the 6th Sense, or The Others come along now, it gives me hope ..
I'm finding it tougher and tougher to enjoy films with shitty actors ..and most teens are just that ...

Not to diss the teens on the forum ... remember .. i felt the same way when i was (gasp) one of you ...

We went to see the Spongebob movie last night...We saw The Grudge a couple of nights before....Spongebob was better...lol:p

I see no problem with that scene in "The Omen" at all. You just have to get into the film and think.

He is a holy man faced with the ultimate enemy, the coming apocalypse, he has lived in dread and fear for years. He knows what is happening when the storm lashes him.
And when he finds that even his church offers no sanctuary he is simply rooted to the spot, not just much in fear, but in defiant resignation.
He knows it's over. He knows he has been caught outside of the protective lifestyle he has led by taking the risk to warn Peck.
If he had stepped aside then lighting would have hit the brickwork where he moved to and crushed him...or whatever!
The film spends all it' time SHOWING you that your fate is determined when you are marked.

And that will never change until the very end of the final film with the destruction of Damian.

One of THE best horror films ever made.


Jesus FUCKING christ!!!..... Did you make "The omen" Freak? IDONTTHINKSO!! How the hell can you know what the priest was thinking? Did you talk to him before he died? NO? GET A GRIP, for heavens sake! If you have 5 second to make a move, the last thing you would do is to stand and wait for death to hit you (Final destination). I didn´t say that "The omen" was bad. I just said that the scene with the priest was hilarious and artificial. Don´t take everything so god damn personal, Freak.

You say it´s a good scene with depht obviously, and i say it´s artificial and hilarious. Now let...it...go, dude.

The Lon Cheney Hunchback. It was awesome! Im really developing a liking for Silent films recently...

Why was i taking that 'personal'? Just because I defended i scene? Well some of us CAN think and DO think.
Some of us actually take in a film and don't just watch it like wallpaper.
Some of us can know what a character is thinking and their motivations because...WE HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION and UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE MAKERS SHOW US.
And when we do...we don't jump to silly conclusions that something is 'hilarious', when it isn't.

The ONLY one who was getting personal and wetting themselves...is you.
And ONE post is hardly 'not letting go'! DUDE.

or is the fact that FILMS are actually being thought about and discussed with more than one sentence? I know how a few of you hate that.

Sorry if i did not agree with your simplistic observation of this scene (and I was not the only one either!) but there you go. YOU let it go.

Thanks for that really great bit of input though. Truly majestic in it's craftmanship. Shakespeare would be proud of you.

[Angra]

This evening i saw "The grudge" and i thought it was very good actually. It was clearly a blend of the first 3 Ju-on movies, but it was done with lots of skill from director Shimizu, and i enjoyed it very much, though i knew what was going to happen most of the time.
I don´t know why most of you people hated it? My guess is that you either was disappointet that all the climax in the movie stops before you see blood and gore, or because you think it misses depth and a better story. I can´t find other reasons than those two?

Now, listen up people!!

It´s about ghosts and a haunted house. That´s it. There is nothing more to it. It´s all about creeping out the audience every 5th minute, and i think Shimizu succedes yet again. At least it worked on the audience in the cinema i was in.

If you guys have another opinion about "The grudge" please let me hear it. :)

I never even began to look at it that way, you make a really good point. But if you think about it that's not really the whole story for example if you took the cast out of Halloween Resurrection and threw in Gene Hackman, Edward Norton,Johnny Depp and Clint Eastwood do you really think you'd like it? I'm not saying you're wrong I think you've got about 90% of the reason why horror films aren't as good these days.

[42ndStreetFreak]

A fun slice of macho mayhem in the form of "Coogan's Bluff".

Given YET ANOTHER career boost with "The Million Dollar Baby" it goes without saying now that, given his success in every decade, in many genres from acting to directing, a mammoth fan base, worldwide fame and a load of awards...he has to go down as perhaps THE most successful all rounder working in films today.
A real Cinematic icon, and to see him get rigfht back on top at the age he is now is justice indeed.

Yes, i think I would like it more. Mostly because i think that the older and more experienced actors can add something to their caracters to make them more interesting, that the teen actors can`t. Then maybe you would care about them when they are running for their lifes.

I´m pretty sure "secret window" with a teen actor instead of Johnny Depp would just be a plain thriller and probably suck pretty bad.

you could be right but I don't think it has much to do with age, you can act or you can't, Dakota Fanning is like 12 and she's a great actress.

[ChEEbA]

Taxi - The US remake...It was slightly funny...but overall, something the teens would probably be into, not much thought required. I didn't really like it, but didn't dislike it either.
I'd still like to see the original french version, I've heard it's infinitely better.

Appleseed - Again, I'm not sure if it was a remake of the 80's animated film of the same name, or a sequel to it...I didn't see the original. Anyways, definately some of the best animation I've EVER seen, very VERY nice style...but it wasn't really my kind of movie, didn't think much of the storyline, and found the non-action scenes rather boring, but hey, I'm sure someone might like it. I was happy to have been able to have checked out some truly awesome animation styles.

its not just the cast - its also the content ..
the adult oriented horror movies were more layered ..
most young people are content to see the school sluts killed and the goody goody plain janes stalked. Just a bunch of murders..

Thats not going to satisfy older folks ..

I'm a prime example because i though slasher films were the shit when i was a young guy .. but i've completely grown out of them now ..they just don't hold my interest.

Just seen "Hide and seek".

It is actually very good until you see through the plot halfway into the movie. From there it goes downhill towards an ending that you´ve seen a 1000 times before. And the plot dosn´t quite hold water, i think.

But it´s well acted.

[IDrinkYourBlood]

Watched the omen last night. And having a halloween marathon tonight.

[majorbludd]

just watched secret window on hbo....thought it was sorta lame.
turturro's the man...i thought it'd be tough to watch him in this role....but it turned out depp was tuffer to watch, especially during and after the twist..

Yeah, the worst part was you could kinda see the ending coming about halfway through the flick.

I saw the commercial for this about three times before I realized that Deniro was Charlie so I didn't even bother to go see it

Not a big deal. You probably saved me a rental that would have pissed me and my wife off.

Plus, im pissy from sleep deprevation.

Larry Cohen's extremely good, off the wall "God Told Me To" (http://www.beardyfreak.com/rvgod.htm)

The excellent John Wayne Western "The Cowboys". A film that manages the hard feat of being both sentimental AND funny as well as harsh and gritty.

I've seen Ray and I'm going to try and see the other four nominees over Thursday and Friday, I do that every year after they're announced so I was wondering if you've seen any of the other three.

[42ndStreetFreak]

Not seen any of them. I only pay out for cinema tickets if it's a film i really want to see or for a film that really needs to be seen at least once on the big screen.

I just go to anything that looks promising, and as for the oscar nominees I see them because I figure they have to be at least mildly interesting and since I enjoy all genres of film I usually end up at least enjoying the first viewing.

[42ndStreetFreak]

We have to travel to the nearest cinema by bus (no car) and when you add in drinks/snacks and the tickets it comes to about £20 at least ($37) for my Wife and myself to go the cinema.
For that cost I simply don't go to see many things.

gonna watch "Hell Night" for the first time tonight :)

that's understandable, for the moment I usually have a decent amount of money that I can blow on whatever but I'm sure that'll change after I graduate.

The iNvasion of the Body Snatchers remake.. Just what the world needs, another horror movie with Veronica Cartwright crying for the last hour....

(she did the same thing in Alien)

[taylorsmommy]

Last night I watched "Lathe of Heaven" with Lukas Haas, James Caan, Lisa Bonet, David Straithairn. What a boring movie! I definitely do not recommend it.

[Vodstok]

Most recently watched movie for me:
The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer.

It was a prequal to Rose Red. it was, okay. However, not much of it would make sense without seeing rose red, and then there were so many inconsistancies between the two movie versions that it was just frustrating. However, they did have the same woman play Zuccini or whatever her name wa sin both movies (the handmaiden who gets her ass beat when the the little girl disappears)

GREAT final scene though.

Very effective. i still wanted to slap Donald and Veronica by the end of it, but definately a great twist, and a big change from the original.

i prefer the sutherland one, then the MCcarthy one (origional), then the Abel Ferrara version last.

There were things in the 1978 version that i found creepier than the origional. In some cases - colour does add more atmosphere.
(the scenes at the pod growing facilities ...especially)

Wasn´t it also the thing the aliens screamed that was more frightening in the 78 version.

Wasn´t the 78s "NOOOOOOOB"!!! more scary than "Become one of us" or what the hell the line was in the first one..?

I thought it was a pile of poop, but i hated "Resurrection" even more.


Now, i know that i´m gonna be in trouble for saying this, but i really don´t see anything special about the Halloween serial? I´ve only seen the first and the 2 last ones.

Here is some questions:

1. Why is it, that the first Halloween movie got 5 out of 5 stars in Mick Martin´s "video and movie guide" and the first "Friday the 13." only got around 3 stars?

2. Is it because "Halloween" started the whole slasher theme?

3. What was so special about that story that it´s a classic now?


I know i´m not talking or writing like Shakespeare, but Freak, you are welcome to answer this one if you like.;)



Peace


:cool:

[EXTR3MIST]

1. Because Mick Martin liked Halloween more than Friday the 13th - reviewers' opinions are always just that, but I would not listen to the likes of Martin for any reliable or informed critique on horror films: he hasn't got a fucking clue.

2. Halloween didn't start the whole slasher/bodycount theme - this is generally credited to Mario Bava's Bay of Blood (aka Twitch of the Death Nerve) 8 years earlier in 1971. Halloween did bring the genre to mainstream audiences, though.

3. Halloween has a lot of classic-making virtues, not least down to its simple hook (a faceless, indestructable bogeyman returns home to kill teenagers - not common at the time), John Carpenter's unusual and devastatingly effecting framing techniques (complimented by Ray Stella's steadicam work) and of course his unforgettable soundtrack.

Back in 1979, teens-in-peril did not need to be particularly attractive or hip, and films like this were made devoid of the humour and clever knowingness that plagues them today.

Black Christmas was even before halloween (1974)
but as it was a Canadian film, no one saw it.

it doesnt stand the test of time like Halloween but i remember it being a pretty scary film back then.

[42ndStreetFreak]

And "Silent Night . Bloody Night" was released before "Black Christmas".


As for "Halloween"...well it got a better rating than "Friday" because it's a better film than "Friday".
Though "Halloween" itself is not as effective now as it once was i think.

[EXTR3MIST]

No-one bothers to see anything from Canada, dude!

Black Christmas is a top film.

usually there is a good reason for that ...
usually little low budget 'art films' too topical to appeal to anyone anywhere else.


there are a couple of exceptions ... and we have/had a lot of talent up here .. but it usually goes south - where the money is.

Film is not one of the arts supported up here - worth a damn.

[EXTR3MIST]

Starship Troopers again - seriously excellent, the only thing that would make those bugs tougher is acid-for-blood.

Speaking of Aliens, there are more than a few similar scenes between these two films:-

* The spectacular bodies-ripping-in-half stunts (remember Bishop?)

* The "Oh you want some? You want some more motherfucker!?" losing it bits just before a trooper/marine is overpowered by the bugs/aliens

* ...and some other aspects, which I've bloody forgotten already.

well .. the military itself ...being involved. as opposed to a bunch of 'space miners' or something.

Yeah similar in theme to an extent, but there were more specific scenes perhaps Verhoeven deliberately attributed to Aliens.

If I don't write these things down at the time, I forget.

i just read a biography on Verhoeven .. i dont believe aliens was mentioned...but he openly admits to pulling a lot of influence from other films ..so its quite possible.

I always liked this film too .. great effects, outstanding gore..

I think there are talks of a 3 & 4 in the works .. possibly with Casper's involvement.

[EXTR3MIST]

And didn't the director keep a remarkably straight face throughout the whole thing!

It's obvious his handsome, vaccuous stars took it all very seriously (perhaps someone showed them Heinlein's book, first? Snigger!) which makes Verhoeven's swipe on American imperialism and commercialism all the more satisfying here.

no where as much as in RoboCop though ...
he had a lot more fun with that movie.

he also gave a kick with showgirls but ....

Did you know up to that point at least .. Verhoeven was the first director to accept his own Golden Turkey award ?

[EXTR3MIST]

Good for him - he is one of the ballsiest filmakers in Hollywood, and that's always going to upset some people.

Basic Instinct, RoboCop and Total Recall made the adventurous Showgirls possible, then Starship Troopers gave another two fingers up to the establishment.

I read in an interview with him once, on Showgirls: "I like tits & ass... mostly, ass."

[urgeok]

he wanted to succeed in america where so many european filmmakers failed (commercially).
He knew he had to adjust and he did .. but without sacrificing his style.

I forgot he did Hollow Man ... been a long while since then ..

There has been talk about a Basic Instinct sequel ..

Dunno?

But that´s something that i like with japanese movies. They tell you minimum of whats going on. Rest is up to the viewer to find out.

What i found to be the biggest problem with this movie was all the locations. You never knew where the fuck they where most of the time. Annoying.

Great movie though.

I must've gotten the title wrong.

it stars Sharon Stone and Billy Baldwin.

he owns an apartment building and he has a hidden room in the apartment he stays in which has a bunch of tv sets that are hooked up to hidden cameras that he's place all through the building including inside the other tenants apartments.

does anybody know what it is?

De-Lovely - The Cole Porter Story with Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd.
Not going to be a popular movie with the folks on this forum - thats for sure.

I liked it .. there is something about these songwriters and big band leaders that i find interesting ...

one thing i did find distracting was that every time there was a musical number a 'name' was singing it .. so you started anticipating who the next one would be ..(elvis costello, cheryll crow, etc)

well acted movie and the music was great if you like that kind of thing - which i do.

I watched a movie last night called "SEPTEMB8R TAPES". It was shot in Afghanistan a year after september 11. Its kind of like a Blair Witch fake documentary type movie. I'm not sure how I felt about it.The footage was very interesting and you knew that they were in danger on more than one occassion, most of it was staged but for an American to be in that part of the world was very ballsy, but to make a fictional movie for profit with the still sensitive content kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The first kill scene was hilarious(IMO), I thought it was funny everytime he went on his rants about the music he played before every kill, I guess I just found how far off his block he was funny period.

I thought it was watchable at best but you put Halle Berry in a skin tight leather suit and watchable goes up to pretty good.

"Bichunmoo".


Here´s a comment from IMDB that fits my thoughts on this movie very well:



In terms of plot and storytelling, Bichunmoo was weak and slow. It was far too long (1 hour and 55 minutes to tell a very simple story), and most of it was incredibly dull.

There were two plots; firstly the Bichunmoo martial arts secrets, and secondly the love story. None of them worked particularly well; the martial arts plot was particularly undeveloped. In the middle of the story, the action jumps some 12 or 15 years, which is quite confusing, as it isn't portrayed very well. You sit with a feeling of having to fill in a lot of blanks yourself.

Action-wise there isn't much to enthuse about, and the overall story and storytelling style can get no more that a "4" rating from me. I will reluctantly raise that to a "5", though, because of the many visually beautiful shots that occur throughout the movie.

But all things considered, this is a movie you can live just fine without having seen

Before I get to the last movie I watched, I need to say something. When you start watching a movie with as high expectations as I had of this, usually you get disapointed [Ex. that aplies to me- Exorcist]. But on a rare occaision, you go into a movie with very high expectations, and the movie blows right past them. The Godfather, which I watched for the 1st time last night was just such a movie. Some of the deaths, one in particular[It would be a spoiler], actually came damn close to bringing a tear to my eye. One of the absolute best movies ever made, I look forward to seeing parts 2 and 3.

never watch this movie it has to be the worst movie of all time
id rather watch the tcm remake while eating dirt off a std ridden cock

Dragonheart ... cause my kid likes dinosaurs and I'm running out of ideas.

This movie doesnt hold up too well.
Quaid had some pretty bad moments ..

The Dragon looked great and Thewlis was solid as usual.

I didnt really like Connery doing the voice of the dragon either ...

[Vodstok]

Dragonheart is luike the Dungeons and Dragons movie: A really disappointing flop that has gone great lengths to murder fantasy as a medium in film.


Lord of the Rings was a wonderful shot in the arm, and maybe some more good fantasy movies may be made, but its unlikely.

i'm interested to see what they do with The Chronicles of Narnia
Like Dune, the first book starts off simply - but they get pretty funky as they go ..

[Vodstok]

Shit, im just hoping they get off their asses and make a decent movie of American McGee's Alice. There is so much potential for a great dark fantasy there...

They will probably let paul Anderson or Uwe Boll take a whopping shit on it, making it into a shallow, retarded plotless action movie....

Was there much strong language? Id like to ask my dad to let me rent this, but if it has much language he wont let me...strangely enough, he doesnt usually care about gore or violence, lol

Same thing happened to me last night when I went to see Million Dollar Baby. I'm a BIG Clint Eastwood fan so I have high expectations for any of his films and it was no different last night I went to the theater expecting to see one of if not the best movies I'd ever seen and it didn't disappoint one bit, I thought Clint Eastwood,Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank all did fantastic jobs very much so deserving of their oscar nominations. This is one of the only two movies that almost had me in tears. It's definately my favorite Eastwood film(or at least a tie with The Good,The Bad and The Ugly)and in my top three all time favs.

Urge, have you seen that movie (i guess it´s from the 70´s) where some kids are going through a cave and when they come out on the other side, they find that they have traveled back in time and are standing in the middle of a pre-historic world?

I saw it as a child and found it very good and entertaining. Could be somethin for your kid.;)

Can´t remember the title though.:(

It's been awhile so I can't definately say, I wouldn't want to get you in trouble.

but I'm sure I would've remembered any really graphic stuff. I know for sure there isn't any fuck you you motherfucking fuck type of stuff.

thats a fucked up priority ..

you can watch gore but you cant hear the same language the kids say all day long at school.


i bet he has a problem with nudity too .. ?

I was watching it with my son [who had already seen it at the theatre ] and about 5 minutes into it I told him I figured out the twist. So I wrote on a piece of paper.

*spoiler alert*




















"the body on the floor is the killer".




Maybe it was a lucky guess.

Lasted about 10 minutes into Pulp Fiction, lol. Ill havta try Narc...;)

And Urge, he actually doesnt seem to have anything against nudity. We watched The Shining when I was like 9, he didnt bother to fast forward thru the Bath scene, and we watched Under Siege around the same time....No, he doesnt seem to mind it. Mostly just language

thats a relief ... cause the 'nudity is bad - violence is ok' standard freaks me out...

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

He was passed out drunk with porn blaring, but I didn't wake him up I just turned it off and went to bed.

He doesn't care what I watch anyway, he did until I was maybe 13. Though waking him up and telling him to turn it down would have been funny.

the movies i have respect for and really enjoy - are the films with twist endings - that dont present themselves as films with twist endings ..


it stops being a piece of entertainment and starts being a 'i bet i know who it is' game ...


thats why i loved both the 6th sense and the Others ...
i had no idea that there was going to be a hook in either of those ...

i love it when a film makes you go .. WOW



the worst bullshit twist ending of all time was The Jagged Edge.

throwing the twist in at the end .. just for the sake of a twist.

and I wont lie, I wasn't crying but there were tears in my eyes watching Million Dollar Baby.

I hate when I do that, I'm watching Edward Scissorhands that's why I put that instead of Empire of the Sun. Sometimes I type stuff that I'm saying or thinking instead of what I really want to type.

i can honestly say that my kid will never come in and find me dead drunk with porn blaring.

i rarely drink - and porn keeps me awake.


:D


seriously though - thats pretty fucking sad.

[AUSTIN316426808]

Thanks for the recommendation urge.

Empire of the Sun was great just saw it last night when I came from Million Dollar Baby, talk about a emtional rollercoaster.

first two hours of MDB was humorous and kinda... uplifting(for lack of a better word) then it gets sad, I come home with that still on my mind then pop Empire in the dvd player and it starts out cool then sad then cool then sad.
