Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[ManchestrMorgue]

The Legend of Hell House (1973)

I enjoyed this a lot. It maintained atmosphere throughout the film. Not quite up to the standard of The Haunting (1963), but great nonetheless.

[Miss Olivia]

The Wedding Singer. I love this movie.

George is great.

Another of my favorite movies!

Horror Hotel

[Vodstok]

Walk the Line.Pretty good. not as gut-wrenchingly tragic as Ray, but good for Mr Cash for not fucking up that bad.

The Producers (1968)

Excellent flick. Funny, perfectly-casted, and a damn good time.

[Miss Olivia]

Full Metal Jacket.
One of the best war flicks I've ever seen.

I enjoyed the remake.... possibly because I don't remember the original. Season 1 are the best episodes of the X-Files I kinda lost interest after that.

[Despare]

Black Dahlia
It was an ok movie but I left dissapointed. Maybe it was the fact that I had built up and expectation that the movie simply couldn't live up to. Perhaps it was the fact that this movie had so much potential. Either way, in my eyes it failed to deliver what I had hoped for but it did have some redeeming qualities.

Its the tummy tuck kings best film apart from Heavenly Creatures.
I'm pretty sick of Bad Taste and Braindead especially because of what its done to NZ horror cinema. The only shit that gets green lighted is in the similar sort of humorous vein (Shaun of the Dead put the final nails in the coffin of that sort of flick for me). If you've ever seen The Ugly you can see the potential for a Maniac/Henry/Romper Stomper style flick. The industry over here is too scared to make shit like that. There more concerned with pimping our landscape and are worried people won't come here if a dark movie paints a bad picture of the country.

I had a bitch about Black Sheep awhiles back and I see thats just been to the Toronto film festival while so many good projects got rejected or had little or no distribution.

Its fucking embarrassing to me :(

How was it? I had the chance to see it once, but decided against it because it didn't look all that great.

See No Evil, The Blob & Headspace tonight. The Black Dahlia tomorrow night.

[Cadaver]

Castle Freak

[The_Return]

Cemetery Man / Dellamorte Dellamore (MUCH better title)

Fucking crazy movie...I loved it.

[Miss Olivia]

Gladiator. Say what you will about Russell Crowe....he was PERFECT in this film. He may be an asshole, but he's a great actor. And Joaquin Phoenix was an excellent bad guy.

[Posher778]

Final Destination 3

I like this better than the second one (excluding the beginning car crash scene of course)

I love the lead girl too.

Spoila'

My favorite kill is the car engine head thing

and I hate the tanning bed part.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

Haven't see this one in a while, forgot what a wonderful character study it is. I know there are a lot of people on this site who wouldn't like it as there is no blood and very little action, but the story is original and suspenseful.

The Protector. worst piece of shit excuse for a movie I have ever seen. this is the first movie that had action non-stop throughout the entire thing that bored me to death. no plot whatsoever pretty much, pretty much impossible to understand whats going on, and finally....dudes on roller blades and bmx bikes fighting with flourescent light sticks......some of the most retarded scenes ive seen in a long time. the first movie ive actually walked out of before it ended. do not see it.

Quentin Tarintino has nothing to do with The Protector...

[Roderick Usher]

Actually he is presenter/producers on this film, similar to his connection with Hostel, Iron Monkey, Killing Zoe etc.

He places his name on films that fit his sensibility, knowing that it will draw a certain audience to the theaters.

So...you're wrong.

[The_Return]

Gridiron Gang

As Ive mentioned before, Im not a big football fan (or sports fan in general)...I really dont know why I let my friends drag me to these things.

This one is cliché to the max. Most of the actors arent too bad, but every second of this film is predictable within the first 5 minutes. Maybe I'd reccomend this if you're a big sports buff, but I really didnt enjoy it much.

[joshaube]

Well, Tarinto doesn't TECHNICALLY have anything to do with this film, as he was not involved in any way other then sticking his name on it. He did not contribute anything to the film itself. Ie - a role, directing, photography, writing, etc.

As Posher was saying, he's going to see it because IT'S Tarintino, which I understood as saying "Hey, it's not my cup of tea... but it's a work by Tarinto. He usually does really good stuff, so it must have some redeeming qualities." But he isn't involved with it, so that thought would be false. I don't see why he would stick his name on it unless, in most cases, he is friends with someone on the set like with Hostel. I don't see how Quentin would promote that film otherwise if not being friends with Roth.

I also scanned IMDb and didn't see his involvement in anything technical. Didn't even know he attached his name to it, as they seem to prefer promoting Tony Jaa instead.

exactly why his name is on it - get the asses in the seats.

but I get your point - he isn't "creatively" involved, but his name in the marketing campaign is gold.

Oh well, i'm still going lol, i dont care who made it... unless its uwe know who

[alkytrio666]

Hollywood is a business. Much like the stock market, people can buy chunks of films, put in a bit of cash...these people are the producers.

Tarintino is pretty well off, so he can buy pretty large chunks of movies. They're investments. If he reads a screenplay, and it sounds good to him, he'll bite.

So when a movie, like this one or Hostel, is tagged "presented" or "produced" by Quentin Tarintino, it's mostly saying 'Mr. Tarintino had faith in this film, so check it out'. As Rod said, he's a big name. He will put the asses in the seats.

Quinten helped cut it from 104 (or something) minutes to around 80 but that's about it... did you see Ong Bok? It's a vehicle to show off Tony Jaa doing all his own stunts with no strings/cgi/etc and his wicked Mui Thai. I'm waiting for the DVD (which for sure will have the original uncut version) but really I'm not expecting a plot.

Funny.....even though this movie came out when I was watching movies at my leisure [i.e. before all the kids came along ] I missed this one......I'll have to look for it.

[joshaube]

See No Evil - mishmash review.

Nothing standout-ish plot wise. Reminded me a bit of SAW 2, the whole... gang of people trapped in a rundown house with traps and a grimm atmosphere. The direction was good; really nice shots. Gregory Dark CAN direct. The WWE tag probably killed the ratings for this film, because when I saw it the first thought in my mind was "Oh fuck.", and the budget-trailer (wtf at fullscreen only, even in theatres) only made things look equally bad. The movie isn't as terrible as these elements make it look. Kane isn't that great an actor, but he has a whole three sentances, and his appearence fills the part well enough for that to suffice. Would have been nice if the whole script was a bit tighter. Drawn more on the religious-side of things. The mother was a nutcase. Also noted that the killings happen quite fast and early - close together. I felt it hurt the pacing/excitement. Some are good. The final scenes are amazing, Jacub's fall. Nice chunk of the budget used there, a NICE chunk.

[roshiq]

Toolbox Murders
>>: A-

[circusfreak]

Saw2. I enjoyed it a lot. I did think the whole thing with Amanda was quite obvious from the beginning, and there weren't as many horrible deaths as there could have been, but the atmosphere was very dark. Nice nod to Silence of the Lambs when the cops were looking for the house.

History of Violence.
God, you gotta love the sheer violence of this film.
A few suspenseful moments, decent uncomplicated storyline which was almost refreshing, to have no "twist" for once.
Pretty good acting all around, Ed Harris is great as always...pity he couldn't have hung around a little later into the film.
I liked it, but I think maybe it was carried on about a little too much...probably say 7-10 to me.
A decent watch, definately worth a rent if you've yet to see it.

Do You Like Hitchcock?

Not bad. Far from Argento's best work, but I enjoyed it. Doesnt do a bad job capturing the Hitchcock style, even though some of the in-jokes were groan inducing...

[alkytrio666]

Billy Bathgate

and

Friends With Money

I wouldn't necessarily highly reccomend either of these, but they also weren't a bad use of time. 'Bathgate' has an excellent cast, and 'Friends' was acted very well, most especially by Frances McDormand.

Cruel World.
Absolute z-grade shit...although what else is to be the expectation when you've got jaime pressley and edward furlong in top billing?
Watch it if you want to laugh at mindless shit, horrendous acting, and a completely stupid plot.

Boo.
I actually hired this to see how the director of dog soldiers would go with a different style of film...see, I never got into dog soldiers, I had my theory why a lot of people did and I didn't, and set out to see for myself if I was right.
Barely watchable...maybe a little better than the abovementioned film, but pretty bad. Reminded me in parts, of the silent hill movie.
Is this the best the maker of the supposedly great dog soldiers can do?
Ah well, my theory has always been that the only reason people liked that was the sheer lack of ANY werewolf films coming out, let alone good ones, taking what little in the genre was thrown at them with a smile...this movie "boo" makes me almost certain I was right about DS not really being all that great all along...the guy can't make a good movie for shit IMO.
More poor acting, very cheap feel.
I suppose if you're a fan of splatter, you might enjoy it...but even that gets a little stupidly excessive, to the point it's laughable.

Ah well, got no-one to blame but myself, I hired them I suppose.

[bwind22]

The Skulls

It was slightly more interesting than I thought it was gonna be but that was more because of the subject matter than the plot or screenplay. It was okay, but not great. Very little gore and a little bit confusing in terms of keeping track of who's a good guy and who's a bad guy. Meh, it was alright...

C-





I haven't been watching too many movies lately because I am trying to caught up on Lost Season 2 before the 3rd season starts. I am about halfway through season 2 right now. That show is awesome.

Isn't it from the Producer of Dog Soldiers, not the Director? From someone who made DS and The Descent, a film like this would be career-ruining.

[Vodstok]

8 down below. surprisingly pretty good for a disney flick . more in the vein of Old yeller than most disney movies. Paul Walker was probably the best actor in it, and the scary thing is, that isnt saying everyone else sucked, he was actually GOOD. didnt comeoff as the stupid pretty boy who got the actin gjob like the Fast and the Furious, he seems to have grown up and taken some acting lessons.

Plus, you gotta love well-trained Huskies. Great dogs :)

Tour de force acting from the two main characters, especially Ellen Page. Showing off great acting skills for just seventeen.

More of a psychological study than a straight out horror....although the subject matter is quite horrific.

Yeah, I saw it...Thought the trailer looked pretty cool.
Gotta say I didn't really like it. The plot was just uneccessarily convoluted, the actors were none of them at their best, and personally I found the whole "No it didn't happen like that, it happened like this" retakes annoying as all fuck. Fair enough if you're going to do it once or twice in a film, but did they really need to do it throughout the entire damn thing? To me it just spoiled this thing further.
Probably the one good thing it had going for it was the score/soundtrack. It was an "ok" watch, with some funny stuff and some good action, but to me, just unlikeable.

[PeaSoupintheye]

After having a few days off and being in the 'skint' part of the month I stayed in and watched a ton of movies...

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Man, I used to love this when I was a kid. Never did a summer holidays go by when I didn't watch the entire Pink Panther series, numerous Columbo's, One of Our Dinosaur's is Missing and of course It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World! However after picking it up on the classics DVD Label for next to nothing it was a great if somewhat dated viewing. It still has plenty of laughs and is thoroughly enjoyable but perhaps would not contain the magic if it wasn't for reminiscent youth. However I used to love this movie when I was a kid and hell, I still like it now.

7/10


Mannequin

What better than some afternoon 80's trash viewing! This romantic comedy with the Starship theme tune was never great in it's day so it was never going to set the world of comedy alight in todays comic masterclass. However, taken for what it is it's not all bad...nice easy viewing - so says 'Hollywoooooood'!!

7/10


Devil Doctor Woman

I decided to complete my Guinea Pig Series viewing by watching the final DVD of the series. This supposed comedy I found to be the worst by a fair way in the series. Aside from the mutant turd (or whatever it is - T.W.A (Turd With Attitude) :) ) I found this to be particularly dull. The gore and effects were dramatically less effective than the rest of the series. All in all a bit of a snoozefest.

5/10


Guinea Pig Greatest Cuts

This completing the Guinea Pig Series basically recalls and revisits all the 'best bits' from the entire series. I found this to be the perfect film for anyone who is intrigued to see what the Guinea Pig movies are all about but doesn't want to shell out silly money for the boxset. It is much easier to sit through 90 minutes of clips than to sit through the 5/6 films. For this reason alone I will give this a higher grading. I actually quite enjoyed this, the only slight disapointment being that 'He Never Dies & Mermaid In A Man Hole' were almost added in as afterthoughts it seems when the other films clips equalled around the 20 mins mark these two were only given around the 6-10 min space. No Matter, it's all good bloody fun!

7.5/10


Harry Potter & The Philiosophers Stone

As Mrs Pea Soup in The Eye was off work to I had to give her the choice for a couple of movies. When she picked out this I must admit to being slightly miffed. I have never fancied these films but having already agreed I grabbed my popcorn and hoped for the best. After viewing I have to stand corrected. This was huge fun, it's not my type of film but I was entertained through out and certainly won't be pulling my face should the Mrs decide on shelling out for the others in the series.

8/10


Friday

Some good comedy was in order so without hesitation Friday was next. Still a solid funny film. I have never watched the sequels as I cannot see them being a patch on this. I still love Ice Cube's dad in this movie, never fails to make me break a smile " Son, get in here - I've been smelling you're shit for years - you can smell mine for 5 minutes!!" Simply quality.

8/10


Dominion

After the dissapointment of 'The Beginning' I held no great hopes for Paul Shraders original attempt (which is why it has been gathering dust on my shelf for months). However I was pleasantly surprised with this little gem. OK, it's not particularly scary but this is a good solid little movie. I will honestly never know why the distributors preferred this to the revised 'The Beginning' version which for me was pretty much a turkey. If you are a fan of the Exorcist SERIES then this is a terrific addition.

7.5/10


Final Destination 2

Continuing the series I rewatched this little classic sequel. I was still thoroughly entertained and WOW what an opening to a movie. This has to be one of the best car crashes I have seen on film, breathtaking! An excellent follow up to the original, even after multiple viewings does not lose it's appeal.

9/10


Charlie & Chocolate Factory (remake)

I know I reviewed this only a few weeks ago but we had family over and this was the 'people's choice' and they were not disappointed! The entire Pea Soup family are in agreement with the Dahl family - this is better than the original.

9/10


Dirty Harry

You just cant beat Clint. I know everybody has seen this movie so I will keep it short. Do I give this film 10 stars or only 9? Well, to tell you the truth with all the movies I've watched I kinda got confused myself...but you gotta ask yourself - can you beat Clint in this down n dirty Cop classic?...well can ya?

No. You cannot. Punk.

i absolutely hated the mixed media cut and run mtv editing .. but i was digging Rourke in the movie. I liked the content but hated the 'artistic style'

overused to the point of non effective.

Eulogy

I don't know how this delightfully dark comedy slipped under my radar for so long but I'm glad I finally discovered it! This was great! Well acted, funny plot, funny story, and lots of notable performances. I watched this with virtually NO expectations because I hadn't heard a thing about it, (A friend left it at my house on accident.) so needless to say I was very pleasently surprised. This just zoomed up towards the top of the heap for me in terms of dark comedies. If you haven't seen this, I recommend it.

Casper Van Dien's chin scares me.

[PeaSoupintheye]

The last lot of films I watched over the weekend...

Graveyard Disturbance

I am still unsure as to whether I really actually like this cheeseball of a movie. It's not a bit scary, creepy or disturbing (unless you include the acting and script) but it is mildly amusing in parts and overall fair entertainment value. It's the age old plot of a group of disaffected teenagers out to cause mayhem when after outrunning the police (check out the Madonna True Blue Transfer on the van...very hip ;)) when they come across an ancient cemetary which comes alive at night. Exploring they find an old 'locals' pub where they dine and are challenged to spend a night until sunrise where they will win the much coveted treasure left for generations...many have tried - all have failed...you get the gist. Possibly worth a watch if you like 80's cheese and soundtracks...don't expect any scares - or gore.

6/10


Repulsion

This dark thriller by the brilliant Roman Polanski is a quality portrayal of a woman's descent into madness. Set in a dingy apartment this movie reeks of dark forboding terror beyond the shadows of the dimly lit rooms. Polanski pulls this off brilliantly depicting a woman desperately fascinated and equally repelled by men and as the movie reaches it's climax, the walls continue to crack as does her mental state thus ending in fatalities for the men trying to seduce her. A thoroughly enjoyable experience throughout, another classic from Polanski.

7.5/10


The Last Horror Movie


I have to say although not expecting much when I popped this into my DVD player this movie really exceeded exectations by some way. The movie starts like it is to be yet another teen slasher but **SPOILER** within 5 mins the film is turned upon it's head when cleverly it appears that the movie you intended to see has been taped over and replaced with a serial killer's video diary. The movie begs many questions non more poignant than 'if you are truely appalled then...'why are you watching'? I really enjoyed this little indy film. I found it really different and refreshing. If you can imagine an imalgimation of films such as August Underground, Devil's Experiment - Guinea Pig 1, Scrapbook mixed with Henry Portrait of A Serial KIller then this I imagine would be something like the outcome. Some excellent gore scenes and a cool ending make me give this a resounding

8.5/10


We Were Soldiers

Based on fact this Vietnam War epic I found to be an excellent entertaining movie. Mel Gibson heads the cast and puts in a spot on performance. The movie is well paced with terrific action sequences and touching moments especially with the wives of Vietnam. I found this to be a compelling watch.

That's the one. It has David Keith, Ryan O'Neal, and the guy who played the father in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It's OK, nothing spectacular. There's another guy in it that plays a military person that I've seen in lots of stuff but don't know his name - he didn't play it very well. It was actually a little painful to watch his scenes.

I'll burn you the 2 disc SE (Umbrella) if you don't have the flick.... even tho a bunch of the extras kill the point of it (at least it'll make you avoid the horrible shit everyone involved put out afterwards). But disc 2 is worth it for the imfamous short film Nicholas Hope doesn't like to mention.

This flick is what movies are all about because it gets all the emotions going and its an experience.... you won't know whats hit you.

Thought I'd have a look at the crocodile hunter movie "crash course" was it? It was pretty much the only thing of Irwins I hadn't seen at some point, it felt a little strange knowing it would be the last thing I'd see. It was more watchable that I'd have thought, funny, and some very nice footage...er, it was rather obvious there were some trained animals (they seemed to have cg'd the eyes of the croc too) throughout the feature, mainly the larger ones, but they did a good job. Silly plot, but pretty informative I suppose. You could tell the studio had Steve beef up the "aussie" bit, I noticed he was even more colloquial than usual for this one, and definately said "mate" a whole lot more that I'd ever seen before...but all the same, it was decent, with some very nice camera work, and an interesting "documentary"/movie blend. I assume kids would probably really like this one.

Just watching steamboy now.
Good voice talent, very nice musical score and the animation is just amazing. Interesting alternate past universe setting, and a decent enough storyline. Never much liked akira, but this one's looking like my favourite since princess mononoke. Definately worth a watch if you've not yet seen it.

I am not very demanding when it comes to film. I can usually find some redeeming feature in anything I watch, and enjoy it for what it is. I have been known to sit through garbage and call it caviar. But this movie was an absolute piece of shit. I watched about 15 or 20 minutes, and fast forwarded the rest. It didn't appear to improve.

I can only find 2 things about this film that redeem it for me:

a) It didn't cost me anything to watch it
b) It was relatively short (especially when played at 16x)

I feel dirty just for reviewing it.

[The_Return]

Inside Man

For example, one thing that bugged me a bit was the whole thing with the lights blocking out the cameras. Now, wouldnt you think there would be somebody watching the ca,eras? Dont you think they'd notice if the cameras blinked out?

About the camera thing, I can't remember entirely since I watched this a bit of time ago and it didn't stick with me that much - but did the cameras flick out and air pre-recorded video that omitted them from the area? If so, my guess would be in a lot of cases, secuity is hired to watch the cameras - but it doesn't mean their eyes would be on it every minute. People don't always do their job 100%, after all. :P

Cube
I liked it. :) Not horror, more sci-fi - which I'm not usually into, but I still dug it. Loved Leaven's character, and absolutely despised Quentin's character. I really did, fuck he got me angry. Stupid angressive mofo. The movie, I thought, was going to be quite low budget... but suprisingly it showed little signs of being. The only thing that made it seem "cheap" was the shaking-screen effect to imply movement of a room. Cheasily done, I'd say - but how else would they have pulled it off? Nothing really wrong with it - doesn't distract from the film too much. Interesting concept, one which surely inspired the creators of House of 9, if even in the slightest (I reccomend House of 9 to anyone who likes Cube - it's good :)). Not a film that everyone can sit through, no, you need patience. But it keeps your attention pretty well for a movie that consists of a small cast, small area, and math. I'm intrigued enough to hunt down the other two - expecially Zero. Saw it on Space one night, part of it, and the no-budget just appealed to me so much. :) Who knows. I'm wierd.

Session 9 is up next, but at 1:30 in the morning who knows if I can make it. >_<

[Phalanx]

The sequels aren't made by the same people, and the second one (the only other I've seen) wasn't nearly as good...although it did have some rather trippy effects and a strange time displacement thing going on...but, if you're looking for something similar to the first, it's not really much like it at all. I've NEVER seen cube0 available anywhere...so, if and when you get it, let us know if it's worth tracking down...
But yeah, the original is great, I've had it on dvd for some time now...low budget on this one didn't effect the overall quality.

Had forgotten Mr. Night's conventions of always having a great twist at the end - so that came out of nowhere and had a greater impact on me then it would have if I was expecting it. Really great ending; though I could have done without the epilogue dialogue overlayed. If it just ended with Samuel's final line I would have been much happier. That's just me. I'm a big fan of open endings. The sophistication of a regular story is what makes this special - and I have been really interested in media of this nature lately. Even creating my ideal sophistications of vampires, werewolves, zombies and whatnot. Over-done myths that, with a spark of realistic darkness, can be refreshing and original. It's slow and not for everyone, but if you stick with it, it has a great payoff. Love the train station sequence with the glimpses of prior dirty deeds. Definately a good blind-buy for me.

Didn't get to Session 9 - fell asleep before I could pop it in. I'll watch it tonight, though. :)

Finally made myself a nifty avatar, too. :p

Yeah, the handshake was raw...best scene in the film.
My personal favourite (and the only one I've REALLY liked thus far) from MNS.
That said, I've not yet seen the lady in the water.

I finished watching STEAMBOY.
Wow...if you're into shithot animation, have a look, more info on it in my prior post. Breathtaking...

Cursed - I don't really like werewolf films that much...didn't think much of the cast of this one, everyone was at their shittiest, even the guy who plays (IMO) the best Lex Luthor ever on screen...the storyline was weak...the werewolves looked really bad. It had some funny-ish parts, but yeah, wasn't too thrilled...however, I don't think it's the absolutely "terrible" movie everyone seems to think it is...I mean, I didn't turn it off before the end?

i thought the animation was fascinating but i didnt like the story or direction..
the characters were flat and i just couldnt get into the story ..
i remember being tired as hell when i saw it and it ran over 2 hours.

i also had high expectations because i love Akira.

i guess i'm just not into this 'steam punk' thing - since they gave it a name.

Loved Unbreakable and I thought the ending was pretty predictable. As far as open endings I think it's done enough and while I enjoy it I think I like a good strong ending better. I think it's harder to write a great ending that really brings things to a close. Like History of Violence, I LOVED that ending.

Last movie I watched was Poltergeist.

Session 9
The acting is solid (not amazing or anything), and it was nice to see two CSI-series actors in the same movie. The camera work was pretty inventive too; I expecially liked the handheld work they did during the tunnel scenes. Gave a realism to the scenes, and made them quite frightening. When the figure showed up in the first scene with Hank I nearly shit myself. The part that interested me the most was the session tapes, they were very well done and I'm interested in those types of things, so yeah. I expected something different from this. I didn't know it was pure Psychological horror, similiar to The Shining. I thought it was more... of a ghost story. I was expecting supernatural moments, or more haunting scenes. Didn't get those. The film moves really slowly, but that sets up the atmosphere - not my favourite type of atmosphere (that being the rainy, night time setting) but for what it was - it worked. The sets were amazing, and I heard it was filmed in an actual insitute - making it even more eerie, expecially those underground scenes. Brr. The ending was good, and everything made sense... but it lacked that "woah" factor that most twists are paired with. Different type of film, I guess. I liked it... not one of my favourites, but a good film nontheless. It's average for me.

Blade. Good movie, but I couldn't help but giggle at a few of the Wesley Snipe patented poses....anyway, I recently saw the Mad TV parody with Blade and Sling Blade together fighting vampires, and now that show pops into my head when I watch the movie.

The Ghosts of Edendale. I was a little disappointed with this one, particularly since I enjoyed The Last Broadcast quite a bit.

Severance---8.5/10

Its touted as "The Office meets Deliverance" and although there was humor in it, I thought it much more brutal than funny.Some good gore in this one.
