I watched a few more movies over the weekend:

McVicar

This was the first time I had seen this little gem of a movie. I loved Quadrophenia so figured I'd give this 'Who' production a go. Roger Daltrey plays McVicar and the movie based on fact is a gritty prison drama, slightly dated in parts but overall I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

8/10


The Case of the Scorpions Tale

This once thought lost Giallo was the next film I happened upon from my crate. I found the acting to be the usual (which is bad and cheesy to say the least) the dialogue was not much better BUT that aside, the death sequences were quite outstanding for the time (particularly the glass stabbing to the eye). The scenery was fantastic too. I would however avoid this if you are not a big fan of the Giallo genre. There are better films around (with less plot holes) but if you are the completist like myself it would surely make a good addition to your collection.

6.5 - 7/10

Underworld

As we had family around I was asked to provide an action type film so figured I'd give this another whirl. I still thoroughly enjoy this flick. I haven't yet seen the directors cut/extended version - could anyone tell me if this is worth forking out for?? Anyway - a thoroughly entertaining popcorn movie

8.5/10


Wild Things

This was another bargain bin purchase so I expected little. What a got was a film with more twists and turns than Christiano Ronaldo and some hot hot scenes coupled with Bill Murray (who I love). Not a film to be taken at all seriously but good in a trashy kind of way.

7/10

P.S. Keep the end credits rolling as the twists only come together RIGHT at the very end...


Starkweather

This cheap indy flick was not a bad effort on all accounts. I was hoping to get a decent s.killer / Natural Born Killers kind of film and to be honest I did. the death scenes are not excessive but the film holds up well. Check out a couple of particular scenes in the movie where you can see a mic hovering around the top of the screen...now that's the kind of budget we are talking!! hehehe. Not a bad effort by any means (see Gemini Killer)

7/10


Sleep Stalker

Another bargain bin purchase - I had to get this one when I saw that it was the Sand man who was the purpertrator...another v. cheap low budget movie, this was the same thing I have seen thousands of times and done better too. Not terrible but not great either. Worth the £1 I paid though

6/10 - I'm feeling generous!!


Final Destination III

The last of my FD season I watched last night. This is the weakest of the series but is still the same old fun popcorny feel to it. Some excellent death sequences in true FD style (particularly the roller-coaster scene, the weights crushing the head and of course not forgetting the sun bed's...). This is a worthy addition to the series and well worth a watch. On a slightly disappointing note, Tony Todd doesn't make an appearance but his voice is used on the rollercoaster ride which was quite cool.

8/10

Population 436 is a beyond average movie, kind of boring. Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit is one of the main characters and he actually does a pretty good job. It's about a town that has a population of 436 and has had the same population for 100 years or something like that, a census taker tries to find out why the populaiton doesn't change. On one hand it could have been a lot better, but on the other hand it's still better than a good majority of the horror movies coming out on the big screen.

Steel Frontier


Wow! This is one of those movies that's so bad it's excellent! It's a post-apocalyptic western sort of movie with plenty of violence and a lot of really great corny lines from somewhere in the mid-late 80s. Plus Kane Hodder is in it!!! I was thuroughly entertained. The only thing holding this one back from an A grade is that it has a character that is easily the most annoying person I've ever seen in any movie, period.

If you like cheesy action movies (Think Rambo or Delta Force but with much cornier dialogue & acting.) then you'll love this as much as me.

Solid acting and really fun set design and camera work, but a little too snappy for its own good - twisty, yet predictable.

A pleasant diversion but not a great film by any stretch of the imagination. 6/10

I have no problem with the idea that someone could be delusional enough to think they see a killer while actually killing. But to present it with such a blatant disregard for logic was sloppy and amaturish.

Sure it was shot great and the gore was beautiful, but the STORYTELLING was awful. A car chase with yourself? Crap.

100% agree there.

Last movie I saw was Alone in the Dark (1982). I liked it, but I think it would actually be a good candidate to be remade.

if something is well shot, well acted, has enough elements to keep me entertained - i can easily overlook things like this.

Masters of Horror: Imprint

This is actually my first exposure to Miike's work...it wasnt bad, but I was hoping for a better first impression.

I had no problem with the pacing or the fact that it was in english (two things Ive heared people complain about), but I didnt like the way it ws presented. Lots of it seemed utterly pointless...I dont want to spoil anything, but it really has a "twists-for-twists-sake" mentality in places. Huge chunks of narrative are shown to be completly needless if not just to set up a twist.

It was well made and well directed, but it really could have been alot shorter.


***Spoiler***



Ok so I didnt want to spoil anything...but was I the only one that was reminded of some twisted cross between Oldboy and Basket Case near the end?

I thought High Tension was fuckin' AWESOME all the way up until they revealed their completely unneccesary "twist" that, in my eyes, punched so many holes in the movie that the entire movie just sank because of it. They shoulda left out the twist and then we'd just be left with 1 bad ass pure slasher film.



Something Wicked This Way Comes

This is a PG rated Disney horror film so my expectations weren't real high, yet I was still let down by this boring piece of crap. The acting was fine but like I said, the movie was just boring. The plot, villain and circumstances were not enough to keep me interested whatsoever.

Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep

Well, this was a Sci-Fi original, but it wasn't terrible. The acting was acceptable. Nothing Oscar worthy, but not embarrassing either. The story was decent for a made for tv script and there was a bit more gore than you might expect for a tv movie as well, but if you watch a lot of Sci-Fi originals, then perhaps not because they generally tend to get as much gore as they can in there. I'm not sure if it's the cheesiness of it all or the fact that I was watching it knowing Roderick Usher had penned the first couple drafts, but I was pretty entertained by it.

i remember being let down when i saw this as the Ray Bradbury book is my favorite of all time. 90% of it was left out of the film to simplify things for the average lumpen movie goer.

This is an excellent choice for a movie to be remade.

that being said - jason robards was excellent and its a pity he's not around to be cast in any possible remake.

Agreed there. I've read the book (actually after I saw the film) and it's a far cry from what they put in film...some of the best elements were completely forgotten, it seemed. Why Disney picked it up before any other companies saw it's potential is strange to me...

This is an excellent choice for a movie to be remade. I wouldn't even call it a remake, the first one was so empty and "pg" that I'd just call a more well done movie more like a REAL adaptation than a remake...if they worked with it properly, they could make it terrifying. Would you want to see it modernised or changed in some way? I think it might not suffer too badly from a few updated elements, but keeping close to the actual story...but yeah, what you'd label it as aside, I would love to see another, fuller film.

Control

I thought it was really good. Ray Liotta plays a heartless murderer who is given a drug to supress his violent urges. That's pretty much all I can say without spoiling anything.

My single complaint is that it was 90 minutes long and is actually one of the few movies that would have seriously been better if they added another 30.

The Dark Half

Well I liked the atmosphere & direction of this movie, and the acting was fine, but I just found the story to be kind of dumb. I'm not a real big fan of things appearing out of nowhere without a reasonable explanation and for the second half of this movie, that's what we're dealing with. It was alright and semi-entertaining but I think it could have been executed/explained better than it was.

C+



V for Vendetta

There was some cool fight scenes, but am I the only one who felt like this movie was preaching to them? I guess I just don't know that an action movie needs to include it's own sociological message. This also got a bit sappy in parts and seemed to think it was a far more important film than the run of the mill action flick it was.

Dark City...?
Don't know about aunt rose, but this one's worth watching for sure...if you enjoyed the basic concept of the first matrix film, this is an interesting comparison. Similar, yet different.
IMO darker, more surreal, and of superior quality.
Not saying I hate on the matrix, but having seen dark city first, I couldn't help but draw similarities.
A good watch, for sure.

Wow. Just wow. I fucking loved it. It gave me a grim satisfaction to see that pedo get what was coming to him. Although I found some of the interactions between the two to be somewhat unrealistic, and some of the girl's dialogue was a little on the cheesy side, this was still quite a good movie. Very much recommended, especially if you have a vendetta against pedophiles.

Why was this movie 2 hours long? Or at least it seemed like it. Pretty boring, mildly funny, decently acted anti-romantic comedy. Lots of recognizable faces in this movie, but that couldn't help the sappy script.

I personally don't like most of what Smith has done...his sense of humour...which they/he clones into pretty much every one of his typecast roles...just makes him come off as an arrogant, annoying son of a bitch. That, and I think he looks kinda like a weird asian with a skin disorder, that tends to get to me.
(Aside from the bad boys series, which I actually think suited him pretty well, I liked those...more likely because it was Lawrence acting the over the top bigmouth for those, and not him)
But Hitch? Boring, completely unfunny to me...yes, it dragged on and on and on and on, and I have to say that if I'd actually went to this at the movies, I would've walked out within the first half hour. Whoever wrote this shit ought to consider making documentaries about advanced business studies...the humour level would be just about right there.

The Leopard Man (1943)

Jacques Tourneur is one of my favorite directors. He's brilliant, and his geniousness shines in this film. Like Cat People, and most other films Val Lewton produced, this flick has got atmosphere that makes anything modern feel boring. Excellent movie, I can't say enough about it.

If you don't have the Val Lewton boxset, get it.

I d give Equilibrium a C or at best B minus, not because of the movie itself, but cuz they tried to rip most of it straight from the Matrix, especially the fight sequences. The movie was enjoyable, but NOT original.

Watched a french movie called Anatomy of Hell tonite, in my continued series of watching offbeat flicks. Not sure if anyone has seen this one yet, but if you are planning to, then be ready for some graphic and explicit scenes. Reminded me of a softcore porn almost, but the story itself didnt make much sense, cept the fact that the entire movie was based on an undercurrent of assertion of dominancy. Watchable, but watch it when alone.

I m glad. Bruce has always been a very underrated actor...he d give most modern day actors a run for their money...sadly underused throughout his career though...maybe the tag of "Ash" was his five seconds of glory, and his Waterloo too...

I hated to see him as the ring announcer in "Spider-Man" (guest appearance cuz of his association with Sam Raimi I guess)...he deserved so much more than that...

Hmmm.... I don't know.... I certainly saw the potential in this movie for the first half hour or so, but it just never really delivered anything. Matt Dillon acted fine but his script left some to be desired. James Caan & Gerard Depardieu were both pretty good in their roles though. I don't it just was sort of a boring version of what it could have been... I wasn't entertained.

Losing Bryan Singer was like the worst thing to happen to that film series...I didn't "hate" the third one (and I thought BEAST was badass, and it was good to see more of collossus), but so much of the established "feel" of the continuity and characters seemed lost. And for what? So Singer would go on to make a pretty boring, droll superman film. Unfortunate...but I think there's life in the series yet, needs improvement though.

The animated chicks are some 'o the finest.

i've always had a soft spot for this movie .
i know it's not 'good' but it grabs me anyway..

its like the dark side of 'who framed roger rabbit'

i think i was just tired of the whole thing by that point ... i lost interest in the series 1/2 way through - and i couldnt help being dissapointed after seeing Wild at Heart and Blue Velvet - 2 of my favorite films..

i have the DVD so i'll no doubt see it again some day.

The other movie I watched...Im almost ashamed to even type the words...Ive been very much against this movie for a long time, but I knew that I'd have to watch it eventually...


The Pink Panther Remake

Fuck. Worse than I ever could have imagined. I'll leave it at that, as I really could go on all night about how brutally inept this movie is in every aspect of it's production. Grrrrraaaarrr, it pisses me off just thinking about how bad it was.

The Digital Prophet

Very low budget Troma sci-fi flick about an internet stalker. The plot gets confusing towards the end when it's supposed to be clearing things up, the acting isn't very good and there was very little onscreen gore. It did however have Jeffrey Combs in it, so that was a plus. Overall, it pretty much sucked, but there was still a small amount of entertainment value here.

D+


16 Blocks

I don't know if Mos Def could have possibly been any more annoying than he was in this movie. Aside from that major issue, I thought this was a pretty cool film. Kind of like Copland meets Die Hard with a Vengeance or soemthing along those lines. Bruce Willis is always good in the dark, gritty cop roles and this one fits him just fine. Overall, it was entertaining but not great and Mos Def was very irritating throughout the film.

Departed looks awesome, but I think if you put it anywhere near the pedestal those two films are on, you will only be able to be disappointed in it. Go in expecting good, not great & you probably won't be let down. You might even find yourself pleasently surprised. Go in expecting great and if it's anything less than one of the best films you've ever seen, you'll leave feeling disappointed. I made this exact mistake with Land of the Dead and I'm trying very hard not to repeat it with Departed. (It looks fuckin' sweet though.)

i was underwhealmed also.

my buddy's take on it was that they got so caught up in the 'mutant as a symbolism for gay' focus that they lost track of what made the series so popular up til now.

the focus on character developement was lost. Most comics - the ones people love - are nothing more than soap operas. People love to watch the characters evolve through interraction.
X-3 wasnt concerned with it (much the same thing happened in the 3rd Harry Potter movie)

technically they are good - lots of action and FX but lacking in heart.

hahaha... probably !

but it is typical brett ratner, isn't it... get straight to the action and forget all the rest. what gets me is that there's so much to work with, the comic is so rich. but, making quality films isn't exactly what big studios preoccupy themselves with.

I actually thought the ending (if you mean the whole twist thing that I won't spoilt) was the only highlight of the film. I disliked the characters, thought the action was trite and poorly executed, and felt that the pacing was bad. I enjoyed VERY little of that movie in fact I think I only liked the story, the zombie fish, and the sawblade on a broomhandle part. Maybe I should give it another shot but I doubt my opinion on this one will change.

X-3: The Last Stand

Well, being a BIG fan of the comic books and a pretty big fan of the first two movies, I had high hopes for this. I'm pleased to say they were met, not exceeded, but met. I thought this was a pretty good take on the Dark Phoenix storyline but what I didn't like was the "Pussifying of Wolverine" that took place. In the original X-Men movie, I thought they made Wolverine too much of a softy, then in the sequel, I thought they nailed his character perfectly, but in this third installment it's like they sent him back down the road to being a wuss. Wolverine crying? Come on! You'd never see that in the comics!!! He did have his moments of being a bad ass, but like I mentioned he had his moments f being a punk ass as well. The FX were excellent in this, especially during the scenes with Juggernaut & the Golden Gate Bridge. Overall, I was highly entertained and only mildly annoyed with the mis use of characters.

B+


And as for this film supposedly being a metaphor for gay rights... I will tell you right now, it's not. And anyone that thinks it is has obviously never read the comic books because the humans fearing/hating/wanting to cure the mutants has been an ongoing storyline since the comics came out in the early 60s. If anything it was probably more of a parallel to the Civil Rights movement back then, but it is certainly not something new that Hollywood just came up with to bring attention to some homosexual agenda. It's always been a part of the X-Men story.

i did read the comics .. and yep that theme was there - but it lends itself to the theme of the moral majority wanting to 'cure gays' - not understanding them - feeling threatened by them.

the theme was there before for sure but its easy to see where the person who made this film took the ball and ran with it in s slightly different bent. its in the aesthetic of the film, not just the history of the comic.

I guess I don't see where you're coming from on this. You realize that was a longstanding premise, but you think the premise in the movie is somehow different than the one in the comic book? What specifically in the film made you correlate mutants to homos?

not 'different' per say - i just think the filmmaker took the opportunity to use it as sort of a parable to mirror the gay persecution.

especially angels story ...
