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.

One of my favourites man...no idea why nobody likes it.

Oldboy.

The fight scene with the prison gaurds is probably the best fight scene ive ever had the fortune to see, but sadly, the movie was brought down heavily by too many twists and a not-so-good ending. I really was looking for some more good revenge, like what was going on in the beginning, but i didnt really get what i wanted.:(

You bought it, no? (Pretty sure I saw you mention it in Recent Aquisitions...)

Watch it again in a couple months. I watched it before I knew all the hype....know that I hear how people make it sound, it amazes me how different the movie actually was. Now that your expectations are out of the way, you'll enjoy it alot more next time around.

I try to do this as often as possible, give movies that I didnt like a second chance. Most of the time they're alot better than I remember them...28 Days Later is a good example. HATED it the first time that I watched it...bought it/re-watched it a few months back and really enjoyed it. Beautiful movie. Amityville Horror was still crap though...

Im rambling...all Im saying: Give Oldboy another chance!

The whole movie was about revenge, and everything that happened in the movie was an act of revenge, so it definitely wasn't lacking that. I think I know what you mean though - the fight scenes, brutal revenge.

I really liked the ending; and I can honestly say at first... I didn't get it at all and thought "this is silly." But then I did some research and thought about it (along with a few visits to IMDb forums), and I was astonished with how great the ending was once I fully understood it in my own context. It's certainly the type that isn't straight-forward, it lets the viewer decide... come to their own conclusions. It's a thinker's ending.

IMO it did live up to it's hype, and I agree with The_Return, check it out again sometime... you never know. :)

I agree on the end parts of oldboy being not all that dynamic...I mean through and through it was ok, but the revealation at the end that it was some fool caught up by a schoolyard rumour that wasn't really...I mean, surely it wasn't worth the time...but hey, it was ok by me.
Maybe best watched with the other ones in the series?

One of my favourites man...no idea why nobody likes it.

More often than not I keep comparing it mentally with Burton's Planet of the Apes, and it wins easily by a mile. Dont know why I do it, maybe because of almost parallel plots and the almost similar enigmatic ending (other than the fact that they are both remakes, but of course).

The Time Machine is one remake I have really loved, other than Dawn & TCM. Maybe its time other remakes started to put some "class" into 'em.

yeah, i bought it.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i just really didnt like the ending. thats what turned me off the most. the poor dude fucked his daughter, ended up cutting off his toungue and begging for forgiveness. What i really wanted to see was Oh Daesu smash the motherfucker's face in. I mean, he waited 15 years for that moment!

but ya, ill watch it again at a later time, see if my mind changes.

its definetly a good film, no doubt...just not really my style, didnt find the second half to really be satisfying, and thats what i look for in a revenge film.

as for 28 Days Later, i wasnt really hearing any hype, so when i first saw it, it astounded me. still does. (i personally think the film lives up to the hype and beyond. fucking incredible movie imo)


i think im gonna watch that oldboy fight scene again right now though. what an amazing piece of film making.

The Mothman
12-30-2006, 07:27 PM
oh yeah, what im looking for is a movie where the hero gets a shit load of revenge, the hero is a total bad ass, and the hero fucks eveyone up hardcore. best example ive seen yet is Wake Of Death. Its kinda what i was expecting for oldboy..you know.."15 years of imprisonment, 5 days of vengeance". really kinda ended up 1 day of vengeance and four days of figuring out shit.

I know, those type of movies are usually pretty generic, but i just love them so much. anyy sugestions?

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

This movie sucks. It's unfortunate, but I am starting to realize that Will Ferrell, as funny as he is, simply is not capable of carrying an entire movie on his own and that's what he is asked to do here. There were a handful of funny parts, but on the whole it would seem as if Ferrell is following in the footsteps of his SNL compadres by starting out his film career strong and then quickly descending downhill. I was not very entertained.

D+



The Descent

Well, I didn't hate this, but I didn't think it was as good as I had been hearing either. My main gripe with this film was that the whole thing was too frickin' dark. It was hard to tell who was who or what was going on because there wasn't any light. Now, I realize they are in a cave & it's supposed to be dark, but I don't pay money to go sit and stare into the darkness of a cave, I pay to be entertained. The acting was good, the gore was average. The nude cavemen were pretty lame & suprisingly pussy. The ending got just a tad confusing. All in all, it wasn't my favorite film of the year, but I didn't hate it either...

B-



See No Evil

This type of horror movie is right up my alley. Starts fast & keeps going with plenty of blood & guts, decent story, decent acting, etc... I actually enjoyed this one more than I thought I was gonna. Kane plays a pretty nasty villain.

Ironically, I felt these were all strong points of the film. The darkness and illusion fucked with our heads, bringing back the old Lewton strategy of "scaring without showing". Sometimes panic is the scariest feeling possible.

Halfway through the film we are shown that these "monsters" do have weaknesses, and they are, in a way, human. This evokes a feeling of disgust and pity, and raises a battle in which we really don't know who will triumph.

It's one of those films with a hugely fictional basis we actually find ourselves believing. Or at least that's the way I felt about it.

Stay Alive. 04/10

Entertaining in parts, but ridiculous in others. It had a good premise, but fell flat in the scare department. Countess Bathory wasnt that scary in her looks, and fell rather tamely in the end, for someone who could cause so much death and destruction throughout the movie.

The acting wasnt great, and the direction was pointless. The game looked great though. It would have been better if they had made the movie like a FPS horror-survival game or something. At least it would have been a semi-decent watch.

So begins my New Years movie marathon,
with a few footlong subs, a jumbo-pack of M&Ms and all the pop a person could drink. So far I'm two films in;

House of the Dead
I read all the reviews. I noted all your opinions. And I got what I expected; utter shit. :p Return said it's a good party flick, and I can see that. It certainly is one of those... action-horror you can have on in the background and just laugh at. It plays out like a sci-fi movie of the week; the acting, effects, all play out in that manner. Expect in those cases, budget is the weakening... here it was just lack of care from the director. It seemed very amateur; I mean... game clips, zombies that look pathetic, matrix-rips, and some terrible camera shots? Ew. For a theatrical movie, there's no excuse. Boll says he's reviewed unfairly... but when you make films like this, I don't see what else you could be expecting.

The Nun
From the cover and synapsis, this seems like a typical C movie. I rented in by reccomendation of Rubenmania, and I am glad I did. It's pretty good, and like him, I wonder why it wasn't released theatrically (though I can guess the answer why they chose not to). Visually, it has a high production backing it. Slickly directed, with above-average effects. The storyline was pretty good too, even if the ending used an over-played twist and most of the other twists were predictable. A good slasher-esque film, and I'm the type who usually hates them. Reminded me of Final Destination, in some sense. Good kills, good gore, and an inventive and unique story. Worth a watch IMO.

Next up... When a Stranger Calls and The Hitcher later on.

Another which thought Fair Haired Child deserved a high ranking. :) I thought that installment was damned good - one of the best (Incidents and Fair-Hair are my favourites, Cigarette Burns is a good one too)

Ok, now for the third installment in my marathon...

When A Stranger Calls (orig.)
I watched the remake first, theatrically, and this kicked the shit out of that like I expected. It's a three-act story, which can be classified as two different genres. Horror, and criminal-mystery. The first act was basic, I knew what would happen and there was no surprise. This was the act the remake was SOLELY based on. The second act was very enjoyable; and kept my interest throughout. BUT THE THIRD ACT was my favorite. I don't know why, but throughout the entire act my heart was just pounding. Perhaps its because I have two real-life fears;

1) Camping; the thought of someone outside my tent. annnd...
2) The thought of someone in my house, watching me.

I am also babysitting my two cousins (aged 1 and 4) and my grandparent's ancient dog who can't protect worth shit (barely stands up :p) for the night, so perhaps those are some factors that played a part.

Definitely a film I enjoyed, had my heart-rate up, and would recommend. :)

The Changeling -- Good movie with a great actor (George C. Scott). The ending kinda left me cold, but overall it was a good watch. The ball bouncing down the stairs was the scariest thing for me.

Fear of the Dark -- Rented it some time back for like 50 cents and picked up a used copy for a few bucks. Although I've heard people trash this movie, I really like it. The "dark things" are creepy and just plain freak me out. Would recommend this to joshaube as one of the B/C movies definitely worth a look.

Heebie - I've seen Fear of the Dark and it definately had something unique to it; I enjoyed it although not being an overall well-crafted film. The dark-things were pretty creepy.

4th film in the marathon...

The Hitcher
This was by far the best film I watched tonight; kept my interest throughout, and I really, really liked it. I can't really explain any further then that. The actor in the lead role had a real attraction to him, he fit the part well, and I expecially liked him above anyone else. I guess that's a quality the "good guy" has to have. The hitcher just pissed me off for obvious reasons :p At first I was thinking the hitchhiker in this film was the same hitchhiker in HBO's "The Hitchhiker" TV series. Buuut, it turns out it wasn't. They sort of look the same, though... don't they? Or maybe my memory is just foggy. Anyway, yeah, reccomended to anyone and everyone - check it out. It's a good flick :)

PS. I'm starting to understand why everyone here seems to hate remakes. It's not like you can improve The Hitcher, and yet... a remake is being made with a rookie director fresh from music videos of Britany Spears, and a script from the same writer who brought us When a Stranger Calls 06. Great. It seems to me all these remake directors are trying to do is feel like they are the ones who created it in the first place - disrespectful. Make your own films, stop plagurizing someone else. Except for those few instances where a director CAN improve an older film (Alexandre Aja) - but even he prooved himself with HT.

I'm popping in Are You Scared? now simply because it gives me the vibe of Cube Zero - that no-budget, cheap-acting sort of vibe that I quite enjoy. Plus it's a rip-off of Saw, and if nothing else, I can enjoy some traps as I fall asleep. I probably won't get through it all, so here's a "top list" of what I watched tonight;

1. The Hitcher
2. When A Stranger Calls
3. The Nun
4. House of the Dead

Curiously familiar to Children of the Damned, but I got one question...WTF was going on?! whew...thats better. The premise started off so promisingly, but the rest went downhill as fast as a Ferrari in top speed. No explanation whatsoever about why it all began or happened, just a no-brain 85 minutes of long drawn out shoddy sequences and TONZ of blank stares. Maybe Clive Barker wrote this one when he was sleep-walking, or maybe having a literary session with Renob.:rolleyes:

(or something in that nature) i think one of them hit one of the fans, im not sure lol. It was all acted out, but it was pretty funny. the rest was documentary, so i kinda stopped there.

I finally broke out my 3 Extremes DVD;

Dumplings (Fruit Chan) - short version.
Never heard of the director before, but I'll definately have to check more of his films out. Unlike most of the asian cinema I've seen, with it's dark scenery and washed out look, the film used here is very sharp and vibrant in colour. It looks stunning. I wouldn't classify this as horror, but it is very, very eerie and creepy. The story was unique, and the effects were very well done. I was confused by a bit of it though...

SPOILERS
...who was the girl and man in the murder/attack scene?
So in the end, she aborted the baby and brought it to Aunt Mei to have more dumplings made? Fucked up!


I plan on watching the feature-length version later on.

This was my second viewing...loved it the first time, and was even better now. Less time spent trying to figure out what was going on, and more time to immerse yourself. Easily one of the best overall films in years, and probably Carrey's best performance yet. The girlfriend was a tad confused, but she liked it :)


That was this afternoon...tonight I had a little "gettogther" (I hesitate to say "party") with a bunch of friends, and had some movies going in the background for awhile:

Nice sleazy fun. Excellent combination with the popcorn, notwithstanding the numerous holes in the script and direction. Recommended for entertainment only.

The Bridges of Madison County. 09/10

Quite easily the best movie I ve seen in awhile. Eastwood is completely believable and perfect in his character, and Streep does an equally excellent job. Great atmosphere, touching ending. A good adaptation of the equally well-famous book. One of the most underrated movies ever IMO. Highly recommended from me.

John Carpenter's The Thing

Well, I wasn't real crazy about this movie the first time I wacthed it, but since it is so highly regarded, I thought I'd better give it another go since I may just not have been in the right frame of mind or something. Anyways, I did enjoy it slightly more than the first time I watched it, but I still would have to call it highly over-rated if it's anyone's top 10 list, let alone the top 10 of our cumulative top 100 list. The story's pretty good, the acting is fine, the gore is decent, but the movie just seems to move along pretty slowly and I often would find myself thinking about something else entirely. The ending was alright though. All in all, this movie took a step up in my book upon second viewing, but I still think it gets over-rated quite severely.

Hands down this is one of the creepiest movies ever made. It does leave the feeling of the bizarre when the end credits roll. Gregory Peck is magnificient, and the rest of the cast rally up nicely around him. Great tense moments, with perfect timed background score by Jerry Goldsmith. Excellently paced by Richard Donner, who is arguably the best director in Hollywood, IMO. Great, great movie. Intensely surprising is the fact that The Omen didnt make it into the top 10 of the HDC Top 100 list. It certainly books a place in my Top 10 Horror movies of all time.

Children of the Night

I watched this with no expectations at all. It started out rather illogically with 2 girls going for a recreational swim in a flooded crypt (Wtf?). Well, they end up waking a vampire while they are in there and pretty run of the mill vampiric carnage ensues. The ending offers us some pretty low quality CGI. Average acting, average gore, stupid storyline. It was tolerable, but certainly not one I'd recommend.

D+



Left Behind

My wife reads the books but I never have and now I know why. This movie was WAAAAY too preachy. The plot was interesting enough, but the film ended just as things were starting to get interesting. The acting was alright, the story was intriguing, but the execution was terrible. If there is a sequel to this though, I'd be interested in seeing it.

This was a little preachy, but overall fun and light-hearted. It's no Madagascar (My favorite animated family flick in recent years) but it's still a pretty entertaining little film.

Are You Scared?
Yes, it's a rip-off of SAW... much like The Hillside Stranglers, Snakes on a Train, and The Child. Only it's better made then those. It's not amazing, nor is it completely terrible. Most people won't like it, but I did. The first half is boring, but it does have some cool traps (the twin drill trap) - once the twist comes in the second act, it gets more interesting. Good ending too, I thought. Very eerie. The acting was the only terrible thing I noticed - it's obvious the director has some talent. The camera angles were better then most B/C movies (expecially the overhead pans... suprised they had the lift to do those). The setting has very fake-looking. Like... the skies looked CGI, as well as all the lights on the traps. But it wasn't BAD CGI, it gave it a fantasy-like look. Atmospheric, if anything. Script was bad; stereotypical black male character was included.

Doesn't touch any of the SAW movies, but if you're a fan of those it's worth checking out.

Damien: Omen II. 06/10

More than decent sequel to the original classic masterpiece. It stayed faithful to the book as much as possible, although William Holden tried his best to emulate Gregory Peck but failed. The raven sequences were great to watch though, and the movie had its surreal moments. Yet nowhere as good as the original. Nicely directed and pacy thoughout.

An American Werewolf in Paris. 06/10

Talking about sequels, this one was behind in all departments where the original had excelled. The acting, direction, pace, effects and sound all were paler in comparison, although the movie does hold off on its own and has some excellent moments of atmospheric bizarreness. Anyone who wants to see this, watch it with a more open mind, and you will enjoy it.

Yes, it could have been loads and loads better... but it was one of the better theatrically released horror films of '06. I like the way these new adaptations are filmed, a real dark and gritty feel.

Not sure what to watch next...
Pulse (2006)? Darkroom? Talladega Nights?

Deathdream - I enjoyed this one. Kinda slow at times, but it gets bonus points for being Savini's first. Special features had Savini: The Early Years. 6.5/10

Infernal Affairs - First time to see it...Wow. In my opinion, this movie was fantastic. I haven't seen The Departed yet, but I can't wait. 9/10

No, haven't seen it...heard nothing but good things though, might hire it at some point. No great hurry with the westerns, seems if they're any good at all, they'll be just as good a few years down the line.
I remember liking "tombstone", "posse" "the good the bad the ugly", and something about a preist...but still westerns are one of those things I rarely check out.
"Blueberry" is one I'd definately reccomend though...

It's something else. I've seen it twice now, once the original and the second (most recent) was the MST3K cut. Funny stuff. As a straight up horror film it's not much; WAY too many song and dance numbers. As a bad B movie though, it's great. Strange and silly, it's one you've got to see.

Many people bash it for taking the franchise to the extreme edge. I think they tried to give it a different twist from the other disappointing sequels before. For a horror movie, it was pretty decent viewing. For being a sequel...well...it isnt another Aliens, thats for sure.

Omen III: The Final Conflict. 06/10

No use making any sort of comparison with the other two before, simply because this one runs on a slightly different track. Damien's 32, while in the other two he wasnt even 18.
Its different from the book, obviously, and is loaded with plenty of dramatic moments like (**SPOILERS**) the original British Ambassador planning his own dramatic suicide, Damien talking to Jesus's statue from behind etc. The deaths are nicely done, and one particular death is totally grotesque and revolting.
Sam Neill does a decent job, although he doesnt look as menacing as he should be. Direction is OK, atmosphere is tolerable, and the script has its slow moments, but picks up in the latter half. Not a fitting end to such a strong character of Damien Thorn by any stretch of the imagination, but a nice curtain to his cinematic personality. A decent watch, IMO.

Hadn't seen it in forever. It plays almost like a spaghetti western with long, silent shots of the countryside. Really cool, really odd. You can totally see the genesis of Elle Driver in the protagonist, Friga. 7/10

Those of you not into porn, beware - the version of this film called "A Cruel Picture" has hardcore in it. The one I listed still has plsnty of nudity, but the porn is gone...and the movie is paced waaaay better in the edit.
