Watching two of the films I have been awaiting to see tonight. Both have quite the hype, and I have high hopes for them.

Brick & Cemetary Man.

Reviews will follow.
Also finally get around to watching the second part of Nightmares & Dreamscapes that aired last week.

Overall: 4/10


now that those expectations are out of the way ..

Now this was a sick movie. For those of you who don't know (count your blessings), there is a certain fetishistic subculture in the world of "feeders" and "gainers." The feeder provides food to the gainer, and the gainer seeks to gain weight to elephantine proportions. Ugh. Anyway, this movie concerns a feeder who runs a website in which people place bets as to when his gainer is going to die, and the cop who is after him. This is a grim, nasty and unpleasant film about a subject I'm sure most of us would rather not know about. However, it's a well-made film. The camera work is very inventive, the characters are fairly realistic, and the plot follows many twists and turns before it arrives at the bizarre conclusion. Definitely worth a rental.

Vampires: The Turning

This was slightly better than I was expecting, but that really isn't saying a whole lot. There wasn't much gore and the acting was soap opera quality at best, but the storyline itself was actually sort of cool.

D+



Shocker

To this day, I'll never understand why this film never got a sequel but Leprechaun got 5. Horace Pinker is an awesome villain and the ending left it open to be continued, but it just never came to pass... The gore is alright, acting & directing are good and the story is pretty cool. The only bad thing about this film is the (now) outdated CGI, but it actually adds to the campiness feeling... All in all, this isn't Craven's best work by any means, but that doesn't make it any less of a kick ass slash film.

B-



Johnny Mneumonic

This was a decent sci-fi action film starring Keanu Reeves doing what he does best... Showing no emotion. The story could be a bit confusing the first time you watch it, but it's still a pretty fun film.

Steven Soderbergh's " Schizopolis." My friends from back home (Pittsburgh, PA) were in this past weekend and we watched it the morning after my birthday. Let me recommend you watch this movie in a rested/coherent condition b/c it jumps around a lot, but in the end it all comes together. All in all it’s a good social commentary and has some pretty funny parts.

I also started watching Cemetery Man, but feel asleep; liked what I saw so far.

Hard Candy and Cemetery Man tonight.

Review copied off webspace. That's why there is a lack of images, rating tabs, and links. ^^" Oh, and formatting.

(image here)
Brick's Emilie de Ravin lies lifeless; a mystery solved too late.
(link) Visit Brick's page on IMDb.com...
***.5 | 3.5 | Three-point-five.

When viewing this film, the first thing that will strike you is it's clever use of Dailogue. An intelligent mix between the language of Noire, and our modern day speech. Some reviewers have pointed out that it's hard to follow, but I wouldn't quite say that. It's like an accent. It's not something you're used to hearing, but you can understand it with a little effort. You don't even notice it by the time the film's a quarter in. Score for learning a new language ninty minutes! Speaking of this language, a certain phrase is evident in a lot of the early scenes, and it's one that deservingly might up the film's overall rating. Where do you eat lunch? It's a question, that you might not understand if you're too off highschool. Where you eat, and who you eat lunch with, pretty much defines you're social crowd. It pretty much defines you, or who you want to appear to be. Our lead, Brendan, questions where Emilie has been eating lunch, and in that simple question, a pathway to a solution can be cleared.

Another point which might not be as noticable, is the main tune of Brick. A haunting jingle that plays in various scenes, and gives a melodramatic, depressing mood to whatever the situation may be. Often more then not, a scene where Brenden finds his plans failing, or an unexpected turn is thrown in front of his road.

The directing and photography is definately beautiful, and some camera tricks are thrown into the mix. I had to be told in order to see this, but; in a specific bedroom scene, an out-of-focus clock reads one time, while it suddenly shifts to another when in focus. Pretty darn nifty. The looks are top-notch, and this is one film that I have noticed uses the fade-in and fade-out method of transitioning quite frequently. It worked though, as it was often a soft-mood setting when being played out.

So as you can see. Everything in those technical departments are... well, pretty good. Professional, or better, since Indie films often are. I really hate droning on and on, going through a preset of departments to check. I don't like it, but I do it, and it probably bores you a lot. Here's another before I give my honest opinion on what actually counts - the plot.

Acting. Good. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my favourite male actors, in indie films or otherwise. He always plays a good part, fits into the look, and chooses top-grade scripts. Mysterious Skin is one example of this. I guess you could consider Brick to be another.

I really disagree with the IMDb rating of 8.2 - and with such a rating, why may I ask is it not on the top 250 list? Movies on there are rated lower, with less votes then Brick. Well, I actually have the answer to this question, so I guess that makes it rhetorical. IMDb is rigged, like everything else in the world. Users are given preference, some a lot more then others, and whether the film ranks on the list or not is up to those few. Unfair? I think so. It pretty much means that classics are on that list, and newer material has a harder time.

Oh. And I disagree with the rating in an unusual sense. I think it should be lower. 7.3-7.5 suits it well. To me, it's nothing more extraordinary then that, which is still a good rating in the world of IMDb. Average, to Pretty Good in my books. Brick leans toward the Pretty Good.

The hype is pretty much what killed the movie, and the fact it's not quite my thing. I was expecting something filled with twist, turns, dramatic scenes, and a campy overall nature. It delivered in all of those departments, save the last one, but not in ways I... well, wanted them to be delivered. It's like... if someone screwed up your cheeseburger. You'll still eat it, and you'll like it, but it's not quite as good as what you thought you were getting.

The material is what threw me, and I won't spoil anything for you. I was going to say, "The fact that the ending isn't exactly deep and complex, but neither is it outright explained and concluded, also adds to the dissapointment." but I decided not to, outside the quotes. The ending is explained in a jumble of speech from Brenden, when he confronts a certain other character in the final scene. Speaking of the final scene, the ending wants to be a cliffhanger, but it isn't. Doesn't exactly shock you, or require hours of afterthoughts. Then again I once again screwed my movie-going experience by knowing that twist ahead of time.

It's not amazing for me, and again all I can say is... for a single reason. It isn't material I quite enjoy. What the storyline ends up being, that is. I thought it would be, but it wasn't. I should have known what Brick actually referred to, but I didn't. Here I was thinking it was some big metaphoric symbol. Ha. No. That's all the spoiler you're getting from me.

(If you like Noire films, check it out. Brick sure gives a lot of homage to other's in that era. Even right down to the honk pattern Brenden tells Laura to signal to him. That comes from The Maltese Falcon... a classic.)

PS. Laura is beautiful.

The Awakening

Aftermath

Genesis

All short Nacho Cerda films and I liked all of them for very different reasons. Pick up the three movie disc, rent it... it's worth a watch. The Awakening is well done and while it's a little simple it really presents a nice story, dig the black and white too. Aftermath is a pretty extreme short with a lot of gore and necrophelia but it's not presented in the manner of something like Nekromatic. It's extreme but it's brilliantly done and there's sort of an art to all the gruesomeness. I rented this one for Aftermatch but Genesis really shined. If you don't want to see the shocking Aftermath or the surreal Awakening at least watch the tragic Genesis. First time I've seen any of Nacho Cerda's stuff but it won't be the last.

I love this movie, it's never stopped entertaining me. Martin Landau is spot-on as Bela Lugosi, and Johnny Depp is a brilliant cross-dressing Ed Wood. The whole scene with Bela doing the "children of the night" line to the tune of yapping Yorkshire terriers is priceless.

I picked up the R2 Director's cut 2 disc edition and it was well worth the effort.


I guess britt was opposed(god knows why)to having her bare ass on screen.

My 88 minute director's cut is okay but I'm certainly looking for the R2 release with the additional footage.

I completely agree.:)

I just watched Class of Nuke Em High again. It's super low budget Troma, but it's still pretty entertaining. Not as much as when I was a teenager, but still pretty funny. The bad acting in Troma is kind of like cheap beer. You know it's gonna give you a headache, but it still has the desired effect.

Oh yeah, and the monster is actually pretty damn cool.

Gary Cole. He also does alot of voice work (Harvey Birdman for example). Fantastic comic actor.

He was in The Ring 2 as well...he's kinda like Bruce Campbell or Jeffery Combs, in that his few scenes were a bright spot in an otherwise awful movie.

Jersey Girl, urgeok said it wasn't THAT bad and I believed him and gave this one a rental. It really wasn't bad at all and while it was a little predictable it didn't deserve the critical lambasting it recieved... I've seen much worse. Carlin and Liv Tyler were good and I was surprised by Jennifer Lopez too. Wasn't the movie I expected and if you're looking for a movie to watch with your SO this is a great choice.

Percentage ratings now.

The Boondock Saints / 78%
A cult classic, and while I enjoyed it, I wouldn't quite say I'm a member. I had a friend, Julie, reccomend me this and I'm glad she did. She's a member, she watches it just to count how much they say "Fuck!". Hehe, I have to ask her again how many times it was. Around 80+ I believe she had said.

It's a good, fun movie. Kept my interest. And the ending was fairly good. Climactic, or memorable in a sense. What they did with the ending credits was a great idea as well. Some of them could have acted a bit better though, as their lines were cheesy and poorly delivered. Would have made it that much better.

The characters of the Saints were well casted and played, and while I didn't like the third, he was annoying - his character was meant to be that way, so I guess he did his job. I personally thought the brothers would be better off without him behind a gun. Maybe just his information could've been put to use.

The soundtrack was gorgeous, hauntingly beautiful. Willem's scenes which his "orchastra" pieces were both well-crafted and utterly hillarious. Actually, all of his scenes were. In a good way. :) Great character played by a great actor. Never thought that much of him until now.

I reviewed Scary Movie 4 earlier, and this is a perfect comparison to point out why I rated it so harshly (14%). This movie was 500x more funny then it was, and Scary Movie 4 was pure comedy. This wasn't. I believe a comedy that offers nothing else should be more funny then a movie who has comedy as a sub-genre in the backburner. Isn't that only proper? Tsk, tsk.

Perhaps character developement and humour developed out of events is more effective then fart jokes and baudy humour. Uh, ...duh? Tell the writers of Scary Movie. I guess it's all just taste... anyway.

One Missed Call is up next! If I stay awake long enough. ^^"

The Birds

Alfred Hitchcock was the master of creepy atmospheric films and this one illustrates that nicely. Let's face it, a movie about all of the birds going crazy and attacking people has some major potential to suck, but not only did Hitchcock pull it off, he turned it into a masterpiece. Although not quite as awesome as Psycho, I thuroughly enjoy this film every time I watch it.

B+


Audition

Well after hearing how hyped the violent content of this film was, I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a relatively slow moving, dramatic love story for all but the last ten minutes, at which point it takes a turn for the fucked up. The gore that was supposed to be shocking looked very real from a SFX point of view, but it certainly wasn't anything stomach churning or anything like that. I don't know... I expected a little more from this movie, but it wasn't terrible.... Just wasn't great either.

C



Fortress

It had a better budget and more gore than I was expecting, but it's still a fairly stereotypical sci-fi prison movie about an innocent man (Christopher Lambert) and an evil warden (played by the dad from That 70s Show). All in all, I wasn't bored or disappointed at all, in fact it was a pleasent surprise from a movie I wasn't expecting much from.

2, in my opinion was crap. 4 was pretty good and 7 as well. you can skip 6 and after jason goes to manhattan (8) the series really goes down hill (accept the last installment). still, other than the 1st i think 3 is the next best.

re the Fri 13s ..

there was one i thought was kind of good because they put some humor in - that was actually funny.

i cant remember which one it was (4, 5 ?) where some kid was getting blamed for the killings and he was being protected by the sherrifs daughter.

minor spoilers***************

at one point - while the councellors are being systematically slaughtered outside, a couple of kids are hiding under a bed and one says to the other : 'what were you going to be if you grew up ?"

and the part where the sherrif's daughter was helping the suspect escape in the car .. she shoved his head in her lap to get out of sight and at one point said. 'heads up - this corner is going to be hairy' and the guy looks at the camera breaking the 4th wall ...

i thought that the director of this one finally realized that there was nowhere to go with this tired dead series so he decided to inject some comedy ... which i could appreciate.

I like Twists, but having 1284941 of them in the final scenes gets a little annoying,. I found myself screaming "FUCKING SETTLE ON ONE!". Still enjoy it though, and the twists. Just got a little out of and there. I think there were about 5 scenes that could have easily been the ending / cliffhanger for the sequel. I liked what they chose as it, though. Very eerie.

I was poking around in the five dollar sale bin and found The Toy with Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason. It's probably one of the cheesier comedies I've seen, but it still had its funny parts. The little kid really got on my nerves though. He was as fake as McDonald's cheese, and by the end of the movie I wanted to kick whoever gave birth to him.

Memoirs of a Geisha

I haven't read the book, but the movie is awesome. The movie managed to captured every aspect of what it means to live in shadow and longing. I found it to be extremely emotionally charged, and I even found myself sobbing a couple of times.

just saw lady in the water last night... the inconsistencies in this movie will bother a lot of people, but i think it must be taken into account that this is a "make-it-up-as-you-go" children's bedtime story. its a cluttered mess, but that makes it endearing and i think night intended it to be this way. however the pacing is off and aside from giamatti the acting isn't quite up to par (i did like the asian girl though). also i'm a little sick of m night showing up in his own movies; making a small cameo appearance would be fine, but playing a vital supporting role (even being a decent actor) irks me. all in all it wasn't a bad movie. the sixth sense, unbreakable, signs were better, but not the village. all we can hope for is that night's movies will keep getting better.

Legion Of The Dead


Decent (although common) mummy story....Incantation brings back high Priestess, 6 souls have to be taken to awaken the six mummy warriors, goal: take over the world...

Pretty good gore effects (except for the lame ass CGI blood in the beginning...Blood is one thing that should NEVER be CGI, and never has to be)...Just not ENOUGH gore or effects


Could have been a halfway good movie, but wasn't...Actually...It sucked...

The book is one of my all time favorites. It's hard to believe that a white man wrote such a convincing story about geishas. It makes the movie less entertaining, though, because of course they butchered the story in Hollywood.

I watched Lethal Weapon 2 last night. I loved the movie, but I have to admit, Mel Gibson is starting to creep me out. Ranting about Jewish people while being arrested for driving drunk gives a whole new light to The Passion Of the Christ for me. Now I will never watch it. Although I will probably go see Apocalypto, because I saw the trailer months ago and it looked either really good or really awful. In any case, I'm too interested not to.

it isn't that the movie is bad... its actually directed, acted, shot, etc. quite well. what makes it a bad flick (for me at least) is that it focuses on the graphic crucifixion process the ENTIRE movie. i think i said in another thread that this was a vehicle to guilt trip christians into blind faith and that it smothers jesus's message to his people (something like that). so the movie is definitely worth a rent, but be wary about its creator's intentions.

on a side note, i can't wait 'till they release the audio of gibson's arrest on the internet (fucking prick)! :D

Being an ass but not anti-semitic, those were claims not video. He was being a prick though, and he was drunk obviously. As far as the movie goes it's not so much anti-semitic as it is an accurate portrayal of the Biblical description.

Okay, if you've never listened to a thing I've said, listen to this... If you see a film boasting itself as a 'Polonia Brothers Classic'... Run like hell! This is another terrible, no-budget film from the 4 pack I am in the midst of watching. This one is the same crew that made Night Thirst, which also sucked pretty badly. It's like they look around the house for props, grab the camcorder and go make movie with little thought given to script or acting ability. The gore is almost never onscreen & when it is, it looks bad. This is the sort of fim that would be cool if your friend made it or something but not under any other circumstances.

Cemetary Man:

Now THIS is a fucked up movie. Dark, gory, funny and unique. I was pretty entertained from start to finish. Rupert Everett does a good job fending off zombies in this dark comedy horror flick...

he's directed Julia Roberts on several occasions and it was obvious he was trying to create another Julia Roberts clone in anne Hathaway (princess diaries)

I had to watch Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl again. Still a lot of fun, and it's still better than the sequel. It's a shame that once a movie is a success, it pretty much guarantees that all following sequels will be injected with steroids into overblown monsters. Not that I didn't like POTC2, I enjoyed it, but you can clearly see where the money won over the story.
