Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[alkytrio666]

16 blocks .. didnt like it at first but it grew on me ..
I love watching Bruce Willis...I think he can turn a mediocre movie into something much more.

[Geddy]

Rocky 4...

[Phalanx]

Saw, Saw 2, over the last ocuple days to immerse myself back into the series before seeing the 3rd. Still prefer the first to the second...dunno what to make of the third 'til I see it.

Started watching "Brother Bear" for the first time. So far, seems pretty good for what it is.

[EarthSlayer]

Just watch UNDEAD last night . It was listed as one of the "worst horror films of the last five years" by a lot of people here but I thought that it was pretty funny and I liked it.

[urgeok]

I love watching Bruce Willis...I think he can turn a mediocre movie into something much more.


i found myself liking the Mos Def character ..
i didnt at first - his voice was grating on me something fierce - but by the end i liked where he went with it..

Night Of The Living dead.

[The Mothman]

Tales From The Darkside: The Movie

havnt seen this since i was really little. fun movie, boasts some impressive effects.

See No Evil

slasher flick ...usual victims .. some ok gore..

[bwind22]

An American Haunting

I'm not a very big fan of ghost stories to begin with, but when they proclaim themselves as unrated and then still don't have any gore in them at all, that's erally toeing the line. Fairly typical haunted house story. The acting was average, the gore nonexistant and the story was pretty damn basic. If you can't tell rom my tone, I was less than impressed. As far as ghost stories go, it was aboput average, but as far as movies in general go, it sucked.

This was pretty funny in that weird Hess sorta way. It's no Napolean Dynamite but it's still pretty entertaining. Jack Black does a good job. The soundtrack and supporting cast are pretty memorable too. I liked it.

i saw this in the theatre when it first came out and it blew me away.
it was one of the first 2 or 3 videos i ever owned (still have the beta copy)

I still like it as much now as when i 1st saw it. the critics hated it though.

I'm pretty inclined to go with "fuck the critics" on this one...IMO, even though it was a little before my own time (made when I was 5, I believe), it's one of the better scifi films, ever. Solid storyline (for anyone who likes things like Equilibrium, they'd probably like this), great ending, AMAZING soundtrack, interesting concept visuals, (now) very cool retro vibe, Jenny Agutter nude, and the first use of laser holography as I understand it.
Places are practically giving it away now...sad...I can personally find very little wrong with Logans Run.

[QUOTE=Marroe;499083]Saw 3 at the theater... I think I'm changing or something because I had a very hard time watching it. QUOTE]


Why?

What was wrong with it?
I just had a hard time watching it. Either I'm changing and can't handle seeing torture, and gore in movies anymore like I used to, or this movie REALLY crossed a line. It's the first time I actually had to turn my head while watching a movie, and I actually started to feel a little sick to my stomach.

Anyways, last seen was Big Fish a few nights ago (for the 100th time), and now it's on TV...so of couse I'm watching it again.

hmm, that quote is a bit messed up...

Yeah, I was just a kid and it really did something to me - that one, Star Wars and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger were the movie theater experiences that forever changed me.

back on topic -

An American Haunting...turd

[JP500]

A Nightmare on Elm Street part 4.

[crabapple]

Wow...a reference to Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger! The film that very few people love. But if you saw it at the right time, it was such a perfect fantasy candy bar.

Assault of the vicious insectoid Zomboid Ghouls! Giant honeybee threatens with its stinging barbed posterior! Golden Minotaur impales unlucky sailors! Taryn Power and Jane Seymour being menaced by troglodyte while swimming naked! Rated G for Ghoulicious!

[bwind22]

Feast

Wow, I was surprised at how much I liked this. Fast paced, fresh directing style, lots of gore and a good amount of humor as well. Think of it sorta like a Tremors meets Jeepers Creepers with gallons more blood than either. Apparently this is a product of Project Greenlight. If that's the case, then that program has my full support to keep doing what they are doing because this movie was like a breath of fresh air into a fairly stale genre.

Really excellent behind the scenes wrestlng documentary. Even if you aren't a fan of wrestling, I think most people could find this informative and enjoyable and I also think anyone that checks it out will certainly come away from with a somewhat renewed respect for wrestlers, and the damage they put their bodies through for the sole purpose of entertaining the fans.

i think you have a typo there ..


you mean beyond the moat dont you ?

[Phalanx]

Yeah, I saw Beyond the Mat too...was pretty interesting, a better quality watch than I was expecting.

Just got back from Saw3...it was ok...but that's about it. Tried to go further over the top with the gore factor, but kinda felt like it was just trying too hard this time. It was good in that it had a slightly more cohesive plot than the second one did, but I just found myself overall disinterested. Really seemed to lack the heart and soul of the first two films...I think any MORE sequels would just further damage this franchise.

Really? I think when 4 comes around it will be fresh simply because of what happened in 3. I'm hoping it will be good because 3 was fairly interesting and raised a lot of questions that I'm hoping will be answered.

Night of the Living Dead (remake), always fun.

its taken pretty much for granted now - but that first one is such a good god damn movie ..

Beavis and Butthead do America - Not quite as funny as the initial viewing, but still gets a few chuckles, and it's always been a pretty enjoyable film to me, I was surprised that they managed to pull off a movie as well as they did. Sometimes wish Mike Judge would revisit the series, but hey...oh, and an awesome, AWESOME soundtrack.

"Into the Blue"...was "kinda" curious about this one for a while...so I hired it. I suppose if you like staring at jessica Albas almost completely exposed ass throughout much of the shooting, it'd be ok. It's not too bad, but not really "good" either. Not my kinda film.

Well I didnt much care for it at first, but once it gets going this is one damn good movie. Starts slow, but the end product is astounding.

This is only the 3rd Ken Russell movie that Ive had the pleasure of viewing, but I've loved all three.

[crabapple]

Oh, I remember having such fun seeing Gothic in the theatres when it came out.

I had just showed a high school friend "The Bride of Frankenstein" and he particularly loved the opening sequence showing the Shelleys and Byron. He got the biggest kick out of it. So when "Gothic" came out I said, "We gotta see this--this is basically the opening scene of Bride of Frankenstein expanded into a whole movie" and he said "LET'S GO!" and it was the most insane thing to see. Now I feel a hankering for it all over again.

Glad Im not the only one that liked this :)

So are you a fan of Russell's other work too?

If so, what do you reccomend? Ive seen this, along with Tommy and Altered States...anything else I should see?

[crabapple]

Well, of his "completely insane" films, I have a special love for Lisztomania. Not available in all formats, you can sometimes find a VHS tape released a few years ago. (I used to have 10 copies of it I bought at the local discount store, but I gave them all away!)

[crabapple]

Going back to Gothic for a moment, I noticed there seemed to be a similarity between the scene with John Polidori slamming his hand repeatedly onto the nail in the wall and the scene in Blue Velvet with Kyle McLachlan being beaten up by Dennis Hopper outside the car ("Feel my muscles!").

It's two different scenes, but both characters appear to be experiencing a liberation through pain, of sorts. Polidori is suffering his repressed love and seeks to distract himself by focusing on physical pain, and McLachlan's "Jeffrey Nothing" loses that last shred of the previous view of reality he was hanging onto.

I could be just imagining it, but I think of the two scenes as being very simlar.

Last night, watched the wedding singer.
I like this one...it's not laugh out loud funny, but a few good peices of humour thrown together...more like a girly film that's tolerable for guys...and Sandler not playing a complete retard is a nice change...to this day, I think it's one of his best films. How flawlessly they did the whole mid-80's thing was very cool too. Another top quality soundtrack too. Good family kinda movie this one...and they got Billy Idol, gotta love that.

[bwind22]

Well, I tried to watch Irreversible today, but the disc Netflix sent me was cracked (Don't ya hate that?) so I ended up watching a movie I had never heard of off of FEARnet...

Bloody Mallory

I don't know about this one... It wasn't the worst movie I've seen, but by no means was it good either. It's hard to tell if the acting was good or not since it was originally filmed in French and the dubbed to English, but the voice acting sucked! Not much gore. I'm not sure if something was lost in translation or if it's sloppy directing/editing but this movie's plot was rather hard to follow as well.

Was that the russian made sequel, or the supposed USA sequel they were gonna make?
Does it follow on directly, or is there some spacing?
Same cast?

Saving Silverman.

[noctuary]

Thank You For Smoking. The Will Ferrells and Adam Sandlers of the world had pretty much destroyed any interest I had in modern comedy, but this film went a long way toward restoring it. Finally, a comedy that relies on witty dialogue for its humor and not ridiculous slapstick/acting like a mentally challenged person. A very funny film, I highly recommend it. Overall: 8/10.

[EarthSlayer]

ZOMBIE 4

From my newly purchased Zombie movie pack. It was actually pretty good in a cheesy lame kinda way. I could not help but be amused at some of the dialog and acting , it was actually an ok movie in other ways too. If your looking for something good this isn't it but I still liked it. :D

[urgeok]

i love clever comedies ...
especially the clash of the sexes comedies from the 30s and 40s .. you'll never find wittier dialogue ... or anything anywhere near as good ever again..

that being said - i cant hate adam sandler..

i just rewatched a pile of his movies with a critical eye - and i find most of them pretty solid and entertaining (until the end where they all seem to die in the big happy resolution brought on by some heart warming speech, etc...)

they all seem to follaw that formula...

but his performance is always solid in my opinion..
i think he'll be like steve martin - his choice in films will improbe and he'll take on more mature subject material .. as was evident in click..

then as he gets old he'll try doing the old schtick again one last time.

(WTF was steve martin thinking when he did the pink panther ??!!)


i think its a path a lot of comedians take .. jim carry is doing it as well...



plus - to be honest - i dont mind goofy comedies now and then .. but i can clearly understand why they would bug other folks ..

someone just gave me infernal affairs 1,2, and 3

are they all good ?

[Phalanx]

The only copy I ever hired of the first, had subtitles that flashed for a split second...made it damn near impossible to watch without pausing on everything that got said. Dissapointing.
I've heard good things, at least about the first.

Just saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2, first time, it's just come out on dvd here...It was entertaining enough...I think I preferred the first one somewhat, but this is at very least a worth sequel. Nice effects, great stunt coreography.
Interesting possibilities for the third...

last seen : Damnation Alley


it was awful when i saw it at the show - it is just as bad now - but fun bad.

its funny - this came out in 1977 .. i was 16..
I still have a very clear memory of seeing this film, not liking it, and the walk from the cinema to the car. We parked further away than normal and it had snowed while we were in the theatre.

thats a 30 year old memory - i have no idea why it stuck with me.

there's a thread idea for general.

[Roderick Usher]

love Damnation Alley! The car from the movie is parked at a cutom car place about 5 miles from me - I'll try to snap a photo for you.

Just watched Dark Heritage (from the list)
wow, what a piece of shit.

terrible acting, incompetent directing, some of the worst (not even funny, bad) dialogue and leaps in logic and a heavily distorted soundtrack.

the monsters were kind of fun, but that's it. 2/10

[The_Return]

Un Chien Andalou

Not sure about this one. A little bit too out-there for my tastes.

[The Mothman]

Terror Firmer

This movie was a mess. i loved it. hilarious. Not as good or as offensive as Citizen Toxie, but comes close
8/10

[Phalanx]

Mothman, yeah, Strangers with Candy is loosely based on the series of the same name that came out, what now about 7-8 years ago? Same characters, same writers...etc...I don't think the movie treads any new ground, it's more like a remake thing, from what I've seen anyhow.

I TRIED to watch "renaissance: paris 2049"...spectacular animation, but personally I found it boring as all fuck.

[bwind22]

Little Monsters

It had been about a decade since I had seen this. It was alright. The Savage brothers (Fred & Boy Meets World) do a pretty good job and the story is certainly unique, but it's pretty tame (PG13 at most. Maybe even PG.) so there isn't really any gore. The humor is minimal and overall, it was only semi-entertaining but if you've got kids that wanna watch horror movies, but are too young for the REAL ones, then this would be pretty good for that age group. My brother in law is in 3rd grade. He loves scary movies (Because he knows I do) but he can't see many of them unless they are showing on tv & edited for content so something like this would be perfect for someone like him. For someone like me though... Well, I wasn't bored, but I wasn't overly entertained either.

I've only seen "monster squad" once when it was on at the movies...I've wanted to see it again ever since, even though I remember very little.

I highly recommend it. It's one of my favorite teen horror films of all time.

[Miss Olivia]

I love the Monster Squad, but Little Monsters annoys the hell out of me. Mostly because of Fred Savage's little brother. I kept hoping he'd get monstered to death.

Ah, thats why then...it's not bad, but it DOES take something out of the oldskool feel...still, great movie though...
Cant rightly say I remember that bit at the very beggining either, telling about the soldiers and all, but it WAS a long time ago that I first saw it.
Glad of this purchase one way or another, quality film, cheap price.

[Elvis_Christ]

I thought all the cartoon stuff totally ruined the flick. Especially that crap at the start. You're better off with the old edition.

I kind of liked it. The director always wanted to make it more like a living comic book he said, seemed to enhance that point. Now tony Scott's remake... I don't know if I'll dig that (sucka).

Wow, this was excellent! It makes me wonder why this is the first time I've seen it, but I really enjoyed this one. Well acted, very unique idea, crazy plot, plenty of gore and a good ending. You can really see how Saw, and especially Saw 2, borrowed some ideas from this one. Evidently, there are 2 sequels to it also, so I'll have to make sure to check them out too.

You mean based on the Michael Crichton novel (The Eaters of the Dead) that's based on the epic poem Beowulf.


As for viking moves, try The Vikings (A Kirk Douglas classic) or the upcoming The Pathfinder (nothing to do with JF Cooper's novel)

[urgeok]

As for viking moves, try The Vikings (A Kirk Douglas classic)


i was going to suggest that but it doesnt have the slickness of the 13th warrior. a lot of folks dont appreciate the older classics after seeing something new so it's just a cautionary warning.

what he may want to check out is Beowulf & Grendel
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402057/


i will say that 13th warrior is a pretty decent film adaptation of eaters of the dead..

I don't know... Something about all these 'ghost in the technology' movies just seems bland. Haunted video casettes, haunted websites, now haunted cell phones? Miike directed this fairly well and even the voiceover actors did an alright job, but I just couldn't get in to this too much. I did like it more than Audition, but the story was just a little too lame.

TOXIE/ THE TOXIC AVENGER 2

This movie is about the only hideously deformed monster hero w/ super human size and strength from NJ.

Not to mention Hot Nude Japanese girls!!! :p

Sin City (Recut and extended)...I don't know if it's because I hadn't seen the original version in a while or perhaps didn't examine the features carefully enough or something, but, I didn't notice anything "new"...maybe a few changes in colouring here and there, but then that could just be holes in the memory. Can anyone point out anything obvious in this version?
All the same, still a fucking brilliant film...only the hands-on work of Miller could've made this work so well. This one GLUES me...and finally, LOTS, and lots and lots and lots and lots of extra features, and that's just on disk 1.
Good stuff.

[PhilnEdee]

Beowolf and Grendel
Very slow retelling of the famous Anglo Saxon poem. Gerad Butler is good, but the movie really drags along...and much of the "Dane-speak" dialogue is incoherible and that only adds to the boredom. Unless your a fan of the story you should have read in high school, I'd avoid this one.

NM...I noticed after taking the dvd out, and actually examining the damn thing, that the "long cut" was part of the features on the second disk...so, I still have the extended version to look foward too, and that assload of extras...This film, I honestly enjoy every damn time as much as the last, fucking work of art.

Yeah, I really liked the atmosphere of Creep.
Westworld...it's hard not to acknowledge the age when watching this one...I personally enjoy it, kind of like an earlier version of the terminator, perhaps one of the inspirations...but then again, that's just me, I'm a big fan films from the late 60's through the 80's with "visions of the future"...they just have a feel all their own. I mean, it's no Logans Run, but, I liked this one all the same.
