Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!

Totally fuckin' cool, didn't like it as much as Switchblade Sisters but whatever its a dope flick anyways.

[Elvis_Christ]

Oh yeh..... I watched Creep aswell. I really enjoyed this despite finding the main character totally unlikeable (...but that was the point maybe?). I'd heard a lot people rag on this one but I always have to check these kinda things out for myself. One of the better modern horror flicks I've seen in awhile.

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

[Spec7ral]

Awesome. I'm glad you got to watch this. I kind of cheated, because when I was working on the original HDC Top 100, I kept seeing this movie on lists. I ordered it before voting was closed. Amazing. Truly, movies like this are the reason I enjoy being part of an online horror community. I was introduced to something fantastic that I might have never seen before. If I had, I would feel it was my duty to introduce it to other horror fans. Beauty. Just pure, simple beauty. They don't make a whole lot like this anymore.

I Know What You Did Last Summer

Well, it's not the worst teen slasher film out there, but it's a far cry from the best too. The acting is decent, the gore somewhat lacking, the direction routine. At least the script was still a fairly original plot when it came out so I won't pick on that too much either... My main gripes are that the villain sorta sucks and the kill scenes were really lacking.

C-




Christmas Vacation

I've always enjoyed the Vacation franchise and this is probably one of my 2 favorites. Good old fashioned National Lampoon style family fun.

Agreed. You really should read Clive Barker's story though. As I said in the book thread, it's probably the best thing he's written in years, and it's light years beyond the movie.

The last movie I saw was An Inconvenient Truth. Regardless of what you may think of Al Gore, this is an important film, and I urge you all to see it.

[Marroe]

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) I recorded that last night, and I'll prolly watch while having dinner tonight.

Last seen was Charlottes Web; 2006. They did a really good job with it, and there's a lot of big name's in there for voices. Steve Buscemi was PERFECT for Tempelton.
I guess if I were rating it I would give it a 4 out of 5 only because it didn't have any of the songs they used in original movie. Yes, I realize they were focusing more on the book, but those songs were cool, damnit.
Very cute, funny, and sad (I cried, I knew it would happen:o ). I'm just surpised there weren't more kids in the theater. I counted about 5 in whole place.

What did you think?

Phenominal movie IMO

I thought it was great. I'd give it a 8 or so out of 10. My wife and I got into a discussion about whether Trevor was alive or dead. The dead theory being him being in purgatory, so to speak, until he comes to grip with what he has done. I want to watch it again to try to get some clarity there.

Also, Bale is a madman for losing that much freakin' weight.

The Machinist is a great and very dark film that worked on all levels.

If you liked that, you'd like The Jacket, with Adrien Brody and Kiera Knightley. In fact, I think I liked it better. Similar flicks, though.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (OriginaL, 1974)

Last night (2:30am to 4am) it was a great time for me as I saw it for the first time!

Though it's not a good thing to make a comparison with its remake but I have to say Micharl Bay did a superb job too in 2003.
More or less in all segments & departments (begining, ending, script & others), I actually enjoyed TCM'2003 more than the TCM'1974!
But all credits obviously goes to Tobe Hooper who created this legendary flicks at that time.

[Btw, can anyone tell me..what happened to Jerry?:o]

*Spoilers*

He went into the house to look for kurt and pam ,and leatherface smacked him in the head with a hammer.

[urgeok]

crank ... this film is nuts !

there's a lot of stuff going on here ... its far beyond the 'crazy camera' tony scott thing .. its more of a thinking mans action film ..

highly recommended.

I didnt think it was that great...not bad, but not even in the same league as Machinist. I'd be more apt to compare it to The Butterfly Effect. Worth watching though.

[urgeok]

District 13 - great mindless action. the main guy moves like Tony Jaa, and looks like Dustin hoffman .. weird

Miami Vice - better than i thought it would be

Dead End - sloppy, hamfisted direction - but entertaining.

I've been meaning to check it out. Hopefully I'll have time over the next week or so to work some movies out of my backlog.

[Phalanx]

I personally liked the jacket a lot more than the machininst.
I appreciate both, but for me, the jacket was just more my kinda movie.

[The Mothman]

Fight Club

very god movie for the first half or so, but then went downhill with the twist. even though the twist worked pretty well, i just didnt like it, its been done too many damn times. The movie definetly deserves the attention it gets however; bizzare and morbid atmosphere, standout performances, and good directing. if only it didnt have a twist. (a predictible one at that.....well, i predicted it anyway)

Yeah, but at the time it kind of started that whole "you-know what" tiwst, so when it came out it wasn't as predictable.

I actually think the movie just gets better and better as it gets rolling; one situation leads to the next until the guy is buried in shit, and we have a slam-bang ending.

It improves with viewings, trust me Mothman.

I know what you mean.

The Thing is kind of a comforting movie for me. When I watch it, I make sure I have nothing to do, I make myself some tea, get some blankets and just sink into the film.

[bwind22]

The Stuff

Good, cheesy, totally 80s horror flick with a pertty interesting & original concept. The acting & dialogue are really bad, but in an enjoyable cheesy sort of way. There is not much gore but for some reason it's rated R. Anyways, overall I was pretty entertained by the awesome 80's-ness of this movie.

.

not neccasarily. 12 monkeys came out 3 years prior. I had seen that before i had fight club, and they kinda had the same twist going on there.

the only film the schizo-twist really worked with IMO is Secret Window. i dont care what anyone says, i dug that flick.

[Roderick Usher]

Really?

I thought that wa the absolute worst of the schizo-twist movies. You could see it coming a mile away and the performances by two otherwise solid actors were soooo ham-fisted and sloppy. Absolutely hated that film.

Glad to see Im not the only one that really enjoyed Secret Window.

So what if the twist was fairly obvious (Especially as it neared the climax)? It was still very well executed and made for a damn good movie IMO.

And for the record, Angel Heart kicks more ass than any of these twists put together:cool:

I would never go so far as to say i thought it was a good movie, but i could sit through Johnny Depp spitting on every page of a phone book. I just enjoy him.

I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas yesterday.... Its great to watch a 1 year old dance to that kind of kid-creepy movie :)

[The_Return]

Hollow Man

Barring some piss-poor acting, this is light entertainment at its finest.

[alkytrio666]

I enjoyed Secert Window...it wasn't very good, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and own it. It was fun, and it kept me entertained.

Mothman, you're right about 12 Monkeys...I'm just saying it was pretty damn original at its release time...and I believe it still is. The twist is just one good case of study, but there are so many great ideas and themes to dissect in the film.

Exactly. It really isnt a great film per se, but throughly entertaining. The performances alone make it worth multiple viewing and the incredibly low price that the DVD goes for.

[The_Return]

Horror of Dracula

Other than Satanic Rites, this is my first Hammer Dracula film. Even though it doesnt quite stack up to the 1931 version, this is easily my 2nd favourite take on the story. Cushing was born to play Van Helsing.

wow, that must be the 2nd or 3rd thing we've agreed on :D

i hated it too ... it was like - the dark half V2.0

[urgeok]

last seen :

Last Action Hero - i've seen this flick about 8 times. each time i try to find what the critics hated about it and i cant. I love the way the film plays with the cliches of the genre (my favorite .. the cop buddy pairing lineup)
I love the villian, i love the structure of the film .. I just think it's a great ride .. It pays homage to the genre while poking fun at it .. a difficult balance that i think was achieved. It is also in no small way a film about the love of cinema.

i've turned this thing over and over and the only thing i can come up with is yet another example of how americans love to build superstars, just so they can tear them down again.

Three Fugitives - saw this a long time ago and dont remember liking it as much then as i did this time. maybe i've mellowed on Martin Short.

some good funny little moments.
I wish i had a copy of the french origional.

[Elvis_Christ]

I think people/critics hated it because the were expecting another T-2.
Same deal with Bruce Willis and Hudson Hawk.

[bwind22]

The Prophecy

Very cool, original story about angels waging a war of good vs. evil on Earth. Superbly acted & very well done. What could have been an extremely complicated and cofusing plot was handled very well in an organized fashion. The gore wasn't great, but the cool story kinda made up for it. All in all, I was entertained quite a bit by this one...

I think people/critics hated it because the were expecting another T-2.

most of the criticizm i heard was aimed at it being a big ego trip ..
i couldnt care less myself if it was .. it was still funny and clever.

i read a bit about the filming of hudson hawk .. and it sounded rediculous.
i think it was a troubled shoot - very aimless and disjointed - and it showed in the final result.


Last Action Hero was very tight and purposeful ... Sure it tried to cram a lot in but i thought everything (except the weak overdone nod to ET) was a lot of fun.

[Burning in Hell]

Apocalypto. If Mel Gibson ever decides to do a horror movie, we're in for a hell of a gorefest!

[slayer666]

I finally saw Feast last night. I hadn't been in a hurry to see it after hearing that it was a horror-comedy. It wasn't bad, but the comedy managed to ruin the horror (as is so often the case), making the film far from scary. Oh well. It was still mildly entertaining.

A Christmas Story -- Christmas just isn't Christmas until I've watched this one.

Charlotte's Web (animated) -- Why they felt the need to remake this gem is beyond me. Nobody can be Charlotte other than Debbie Reynolds, and Paul Lynde as Templeton is perfect casting. I hadn't seen this one in quite some time, but it has certainly held up well over the years. It still had me bawling like a baby by the end, but it was well worth it.

Lady in the Water -- I was willing to give M. Night a chance, but this one just lost me. I think I was expecting the twist ending that's become his trademark, but all this movie did was make me scratch my head and bemoan the fact I wasted $3.50 renting it. Oh well...nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I also rented The Wicker Man at the same time as LITW. I've only watched about 15 minutes, but I can already tell I'm going to throw something at the TV.

Wolf - IMO, a really good take on the classic "wolfman" thing, some really crappy early days cgi on the actual wolves, but, other than that, it was a great film. Good music, decent storyline, good atmosphere and dialogue...and you can't much go wrong with ol' Jack.
The makeup towards his last few transformations was really cool too. Definately worth a watch if you've not yet seen it.

Ive only seen the American version myself and I really enjoyed it, but supposedly it's really badly butchered. Yet to see it myself, but all signs point to the Italian version being superior.

The American version, like Return said, is horribly butchered. And I mean horribly.

Last movie I watched was Cars. My brother kept bugging me to watch it, and I'm glad I did. Luigi and Guido are the greatest!!!!!:D

@Katrina -- If you get the chance, watch "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott. That's a real gem. He's perfect as Scrooge.

Put on Nightmare Before Christmas before I went to bed last night...hardly made it through "What Is This" before dozing off:o

Talladegga Nights.

[Phalanx]

The man in the Iron Mask.
Initially when it first came out, I dismissed this as yet another attempt to lure the masses of females that seem(ed) obsessed at the time with the "14 y.o lesbian" looks of Leo...so never quite got to see it.
Since then, I've seen the guy in a few decent films, and where he's far from one of my favourite actors personally, he's taken on a few good roles in a few good films. So, when I saw this one on the tv guide, decided to watch it.
Didn't have a clue really what it was about, but essentially what it turned out to be was a pretty damn good musketeers story, with a sideline.
I enjoyed it, by far exceeded my expectations.

[urgeok]

Aragon, or whatever its called (the Dragon movie)

- initially went to see Night in the Museum, but after sitting there for 30 min. there was no picture. i went and told someone and 10 min later they came in and said the bulb was gone so we could go see another movie AND they gave us free passes.

so we went to the dragon flick and we'll see the other one for free tomorrow.

as far as the movie goes - i was suprised. a bit corny here and there but actually not a bad production .. my kid loved it.

this is one of the best uses of CGI i've seen .. very convincing... the dragon looked great.

[The_Return]

Double Feature:

Cat People / Curse of the Cat People

Cat People was fantastic...a little slow paced, but still very effective. Curse...eh, not so much. It just seemed so pointless...the plot goes nowhere, and half the characters are either total idiots or completly useless.

At least the first one was good:)

[alkytrio666]

White Christmas (1954)- Still the second greatest Christmas flick of all time in my books...Bing Crosby? Check. Danny Kaye? Check. Rosemary Clooney? Check.

Elf- Loved this one since the day it came out in theatres. Bought it the day it came out on DVD. I've watched it a thousand times since then, and it never gets old. Great holiday fun. Favreau is really great.


Two great holiday flicks today!

Watch it again (Cat People, that is) and pay strict attention to the sound effects and how they're used. Best damn use of sound in any horror movie, ever. Period.

The bus scene is superb!

Cat People is a fine wine. It only improves with age.

Night at the museum - getting a bit tired of ben stiller's shtick - but still a very entertaining fun flick.

Invincible - really liked this one - great story.


im a big Mark Wahlberg fan, havnt seen this yet, how was his performance?

okay movie. good to see De Niro and Jean Reno.

he wont win any oscars - but he wont let you down either .. delivered what the part called for.

I though Invincible was pretty cliché...I didnt mind it, wasnt really a bad flick or anything, just really predictable. Atleast it was better than Gridiron Gang...

Office Space

An all-time favourite of mine...one of the top 3 funniest movies ever made IMO.

[_____V_____]

The Stepford Wives. 04/10

With such an excellent cast, I thought they could have made the movie a bit more interesting. Walken was wasted IMO. Midler and Close were the only good parts of an otherwise dull movie.

Cube Zero. 06/10

I havent watched any of the Cube movies before this, so this was my first. Interesting and intriguing in parts...nice effects.

Are the others any good? Do I need to hunt em down?

Jet Li's Fearless

nothing new... some odd pacing issues, but really fun. the kids loved it.

[1beastieibe]

City of Lost Children

Very strange, It wasn't what I was expecting, but I liked it. It's one of those movies you have to watch a few times to get the message it's portraying.

Gone With the Wind (1939)

Pure. Cinema. Magic.

[paws the great]

The Descent

Great flick.

[Phalanx]

Are the others any good? Do I need to hunt em down?
The first one is definately worth it...the second one has some interesting effects and headfuck kinda stuff, but doesn't touch on the greatness of the first one, which you should be able to find pretty cheaply.

I last watched the last 45 minutes of so of "eulogy".
Nothing GREAT about it, but it's a pretty decent kinda comedy/drama with some solid performances. Manages to evoke some chuckles every time.

[Spec7ral]

The Descent

Great flick.

watched this on christmas night with the GF and the family. looked fucking AWESOME on my moms 45 inch bravia. fuck i need one of those. Really good movie tho, it would be easy to shred it a bit, but its overall entertainment factor made me say fuck it, it was just a nice movie in the end.

The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr : pilot movie

[bwind22]

Well, the holidays have kept me busy & I didn't get to see as many movies as normal over the past week-week and a half.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This is probably tied with Vegas Vacation as my 2nd favorite in the franchise (Behind the original). Well acted, funny and most importantly, it withstands the test of time because it's still funny after dozens of viewings over the years.

B+


A Christmas Story

A classic, and for good reason. It's a holiday season must see for anyone that hasn't seen it. Good, clean fun for the whole family (and an all-around GREAT film to boot.)

A




I also just finished re-watching Entourage Season 1 (A-) and I am in the middle of watching Rome (Just finished disc 2.)



Next movies on deck: Dead Meat (Fangoria) & Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

[Geddy]

Aliens....

[slayer666]

The Descent...unfortunately. What a stinker that turned out to be.

[Phalanx]

People sure seem to split down the middle re: "the descent".
Didn't look that great to me...kind've like a ripjob of pitch black with a different setting, but hey, I'm sure I'll at least give it a watch sometime within the next year.

Just watched Burtons BATMAN. Still like this one most of all. Best batman, best suit, best music/score, best car, best villain (all iMo of course)...Whoever gets the Joker part (even the seemingly ridiculously unsuitable heath ledger) in the next sequel in the batman begins line, has a lot to live up to...

[The_Return]

I think Ledger should be able to pull it off...have you seen the photoshopped pic of him that's been floating around? He can definatly look the part...and as far as fitting the darker atmosphere that Nolan used in Begins, I think he'll be a good choice to keep the character more serious. Crazy as fuck but grounded to some extent...I think he'll pull it off.

[Phalanx]

I won't judge fully until I see it...but still, IMO Nicholson made for THE best comic based film villain portrayal yet. I personally thought that the rumours of Adrien Brody were kinda promising, I can see him pulling off the look better, but hey...the first one was alright, so I'll watch the second either way.

Agreed that Nicholson was incredible in the role...Ledger will certainly be alot different, but I think it will be a good take on the character.

I cant find the fan poster that I mentioned with Ledger, but as soon as I find it I'll post it for you. Really shows that if nothing else, Ledger can easily look the part.

[_____V_____]

Saw. (4th time)

I never get tired of watching this one. Anyone bashing The Descent and saying they adored Saw, needs to get their brains checked.

I take both movies' names in the same breath because both of em have a lot of similarities and share the same edgy, tense, taut, claustrophobic atmospheric feel.

Revenge of the creature.

[crabapple]

Revenge of the Creature. Now that's a sequel I really enjoyed!

[Phalanx]

Agreed return...looks like he could get the look down, and I think he's an alright actor in general, but...I dunno if this ones beyond him or not. The jokers gotta be sinister/crazy all the way. I think that where Nicholson played him extremely well, there's a lot more darkness that could be thrown onto the character, he's an absolute brutal, psycho bastard...I'd like to see Nolan take that one to another level.
Still, I think Adrien Brody could pull off the LOOK even better, and absolutely look like the Joker is supposed to, without much effort, he's got the slimness, the long face, the sharp nose kinda thing...apparently he put his name foward to play the role, but I dunno...is the Ledger thing confirmed yet?

Im not 100% sure if it's confirmed, but every site that Ive looked at seems to say so...Im assuming that it is.

I Brody would look the part alot better than Ledger for sure (Hell, he even looks the part without makeup), but beyond that I cant see him doing very well. He's a talented actor but I just cant see him i this kind of role. Even though I havent seen him in very much, it doesnt seem like Ledger would have to strain too hard to pull of the whole psycho bit.

Anyway, we'll see in '08. Really, I'm just excited that my favourite villain is getting back on screen:D

My Summer Story -

i had this on laserdisc .. bought it in a batch of others - without even knowing it was a sequel to A Christmas Story.

it was made by the same director (bob Clark) featured the same score as A christmas Story . same teacher... but everyone else was different.
(including a horrible piece of miscasting - Charles Grodin as the dad)

it was a bit uneven but still won out in the end.

Feast

I watched this with my girlfriend and her relatives, and, it was... interesting. I guess for a random story and zero budget it was ...ok. The gore was supreme, the jumps were usually perfect, but everything else lacked. I enjoyed the *spoiler* Heroines dying and the heroines changing in comical ways with the headlines and all*spoiler end* that was funny. The acting was dumb, but, whatever. The dialogue was unfathomably bad, and the creatures were stupid and did stupid things. It was one of those, i'm bored so lets watch a dumb movie.. movie. Maybe worth a rent if you are extremely bored, but, meh.

unbreakable was a brave film .. it broke a few molds and did it with style - i live that film.

lady in the water was just a big arrogant go fuck yourself to the audience.

***********Spoilers ********* as if anyone cares *******************


killing the critic ... i can see why he would hate critics ... at least uwe boll had the balls to fight them in person.
telling the audience ahead of time everything that would happen ... a bigger cameo - key roll...




i did like the concept of the people working together, i liked the idea of mistakes being made.. i could even go with the whole fairy tale deal ..
Paul Giamatti was brilliant (the howard girl was kept passible by denying her dialogue)
its just his presentation .. it was so fucking smug.

We watched a movie called Last Exit about 2 women, one having the worst day of her life and the other having just a generally bad day. It involves a lot of asshole driving, and eventually a car chase and gunshot. All in all, it was pretty good (for a lifetime movie), but the end was one of those unfulfilling, unresolved "realistic" endings where everyone gets hurt and no real questions are answered.

[The_Return]

The Thing, with Commentary

Couldnt get through the whole thing...as much as I love his work, Carpenter is just not an interesting guy to listen to. Really informative but boring at the sane time, if that makes any sence. Kurt Russell was somewhat entertaining I guess.

[alkytrio666]

The Petrified Forest (1936)

Powerful film about humanity and the flaws of human nature. All-star cast includes Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, and Leslie Howard.

Dead Meat

Better than I was expecting, but still nothing to write home about. I was mildly entertained, but the acting & script fell flat at times. I did like the ending though. It was alright overall, but pretty good for the budget.

C+



City of Rott

It is just cool that stuff like this exists. Awesomely violent & gory zombie cartoon. It seems to get a bit redundant thought because it is literally nonstop zombie splatter for about 70 minutes and there are only so many ways a zombie can eat a human or a be killed. Overall, I was entertained a lot, but the best part about this is the hope it gives me that in the future this animation sub-genre will be expanded on. I was entertained, but I still saw room for improvement.

The Descent-With Neil Marshall and cast commentary.

[urgeok]

watched 1/2 of World Trade Centre

i had some huge misgivings about this one but i let my curiosity get the better of me.

i have to say that so far - based on what i've seen - this is an important movie and it had to be made. the film up to now - had been handled with tact... it deals with the impact it had on people - as individuals.

one of the greatest strenghts of people - is also one of its greatest weaknesses. We are tough, we can survive.... but that also causes us to forget.

we have rememberance days that mean very little to people these days .. understandably - people for the most point who were born in the last 30 - 40 years havent had to deal with the impact of WWII personally.

the same thing may happen with Sept. 11 - but i hope not. people should never forget what happened. its shouldnt be sensationalized or trivialized .. but it should be remembered always.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

Barring one HUGE plothole (2 if you want to be picky...), this is easily one of my favourites in the series. Original, gory, and brought a great new character into the mythos...much, much more than you can say for installments like Parts 6 and 7.

[alkytrio666]

Collateral (2004)

Fun movie, nothing more nothing less. Good performances, as usual, by Cruise and Foxx. I was a little dissatisfied with the ending, but it worked, I suppose, enough for the flick.

Syriana (2005)

It's nice to see a film with such a passionate message to get across, but the overall product was a little too hectic. Good acting and good pace, but it felt at times as though Gaghan was shoving a little too much information down our throats at once.

[_____V_____]

The Time Machine.

A very underrated movie IMO. Guy Pearce did excellently with the limited scope he had for acting, plus the pace and the timing of the movie was nicely done. No complains about the CGI shots either, like the moon cracking, the settlements on the side of the hills, the futuristic earth etc. Overall, I enjoyed this one.

Fast, pacy, enjoyable flick.
