Ghost Rider. 05/10

"Disappointed" would be the word I d say. After all the excitement generated from the trailers, the movie falls down.
Cage is a brilliant actor, but he has nothing to act in this one.
The CGI completely takes over and leaves nothing else to dominate.
Eva Mendes looks miscast too in her role, and she tries her best not to copy Lois Lane's character into her own.
Forget any power performances if you wanna see this one. Watch it for the CGI alone.

Poltergeist

It had been years since I first saw this and I must say it was a good deal better than I remmeber it being. Tobe Hooper did a good job on this one. The acting is good, the FX were probably excellent for their time but seem a bit dated nowadays, there's not really any gore, but the plot is interesting. The climax got a little confusing but all in all it's an entertaining film, especially for a PG rated horror movie.

Land Of The Dead

Alright, I must say that this one is NOT on top with the rest of the Dead series, but I will say this, it was a rather enjoyable watch. It didn't fit in with the rest of the series for the fact that it was done on a much larger scale, and the zombies got too intelligent. Not horrible, nor great, but more than worth the watch.

'Mark' needs to be seen twice within a short period of time. The first time you see it, you're totally knocked off guard, and the experience is tainted.

Watch it again and you'll appreciate it much more...even if you did like it the first time.

Nekromantic 2? Let me know what you think. Like I said, the story and music are better the second time around but then you lose the shock from the first. Both really underwhelmed me. I don't know about you but with the first film I was expecting a shocking flick filled with gore and terror but when I finally watched it I felt ripped off. It wasn't as shocking as I though, wasn't well shot or packed with atmosphere, and the story might as well have been nonexistent.

It was like some pervert got a hold of a cheap 16mm camera and fulfilled all his sickest fantasies in his own neighborhood, and had his best friends act.

Oh yeah, it's interesting stuff. For as elegant and kind-hearted as Joan Crawford always looked on screen, she was a cold-hearted bitch off of it. Her daughter came out after she died and said she was the most abusive, horrible person you could imagine, and that Joan used to beat the shit out of her.

Mommie Dearest was an interesting tale but you really have to wonder how much of the stuff said by these children of the stars is true. Like Bing's kids Christine waited to come out until her mom was gone and couldn't defend herself against the accusations. I think Mildred Pierce is Joan's most acclaimed piece, a real high point in her career.

Stranger than Fiction

Well, I once said that I didn't think Will Ferrell was funny enough to carry a movie to great heights all on his own (Bewitched, Talladega Nights) and that he was best used in smaller-mid sized roles (Austin Powers, Old School), but I now stand corrected. All he ever needed was a decent writer and he can carry a film on his own just fine. Stranger than Fiction was much less "in your face funny" and it seemed to work out better all around. Refreshingly original and clever plot, great acting and directing. It's funny when it should be, but also gets serious when neccesary. All around a really, really solid, enjoyable film. Probably Will Ferrell's best work. Not neccesarily his funniest, but almost definately his best.

Seen quite a few recently:
Ladder 49. Not bad, but I have just about had it with movies of this type and ending.

Chronicles of NArnia. Not Lord of the Rings, but very satisfying nonetheless

Starwars, Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. I expected a lot, so I was pretty let down. Grievous was way less cool than i thought he would be, but It was comfortable old territory witha new sotry, plus it was nice to see alll the tie ins, so not great, but I enjoyed it.

Crank. Formover function, style over substance, FUCKing awful. Hated it. Great premise horribly executed.

Well, I really liked this one, but then again I am a Tenacious D fan. I'm not sure how it'd go over with someone that didn't like them or was unfamiliar with their work, but I found it to be hilarious. The songs were good, the story was corny but entertaining, the laughs were there. All in all, I thought this was a pretty entertaining film.

I'd like to say I felt that way, because Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors, but I like Danny playing Penguin.

I wanted to like the original more than this, but I just didn't. When I think about Returns, I picture dark, gloomy atmosphere with a solidly evil plot and Michelle Pheifer in tight leather. When I think about Batman, all I see is Jack Nicholson dancing (quite horribly) to a bad 80s Prince song with his boombox toting henchman close behind.

Pulse – The Japanese original. Weird, weird movie. I liked a lot of it, but the shift to the apocalyptic ending left me feeling like I was watching two different movies. Worth another viewing, I suspect.

MoH: Haekel’s Tale – Well, the woman who starred in the film looked good naked, and it being a Clive Barker story I saw the undead orgy coming from minutes away, but that wasn’t a terribly good movie.

And Soon the Darkness – Maybe they hadn’t made the stalker/killer movie very much in the 70s, because this version of that story was desperately boring and couldn’t be made today because there was no suspense at all.

MoH: Chocolate – Not a good film. While the plot was clear, hardly anything about the characters’ actions made any sense. Not good.

Don't think anyone posted about this on here. It gets a lot of trash on IMDb, but I think it's partially because people don't understand what the point of it was. The entire thing is done up to resemble one of those old "television movie marathons" aired on Halloween night. Complete with intro and outro segments by a host, television static, bleeped out "danger" words, and the indian "no signal" placeholder at the end.

Personally I really like the dust & dirt film effect. Where digital video is washed out and made to look like scratched up film, or an old photograph. It gives it a certain style. The black colours in this film were all grainy, and slightly tinted hues of green, blue and red. Ti West is a very talented director and I'm waiting to see what he does with Cabin Fever 2.

The cast in this film are lacking a certain quality to them, but that also adds to the overall effect. If you like nostalgic, cheesy movies and films that invoke memories of satying up late and catching horror movies on late-night tv when you were 12... see this. I'd say it was worth the watch. :)

Last seen in theatre - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginnings. I know I am in the minority but I liked the movie. I felt it filled in the holes from the remake very well and had a great performance from R.Lee Emry.

Last seen on dvd- Night of the Living Dead (90 Savini version) Again, I think I am in the minority with this as well. Though did not capture the magic of Romero's masterpiece, I felt it hit on the issues of the day at the time. Gore was not over done but had a good amount. It was close to being shot to shot with the original but had enough changes to make it feel like you were watching something different. Did not like the tempo of it as it felt rushed at points but as a zombie fan, it is a must have.

Plot summary lifted from IMDB:

Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with. Charlie is at school and is looking forward to going to university; to help pay for a trip home for Christmas, he agrees to look after Frank over thanksgiving. Frank's niece says this will be easy money, but she didn't reckon on Frank spending his thanksgiving in New York.

Well, this was a little better than I was expecting it to be. The continuity works alright, the acting was decent. There were a few spots with decent gore and the story was alright (kind of a Pet Semetary + ROTLD blend) but it works alright. In all, I wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasently surprised. That's not to say this is a great movie though, just better than I had expected it to be.

Man with the Screaming Brain

Well, this was a little bit sloppy, but Bruce Campbell was still pretty entertaining. The script seemed to have some holes in it and the plot felt rushed. If you look at it as a cheesy B-movie, you won't be too let down, but if you go into it expecting Bruce Campbell's best work you will be. Ted Raimi does a pretty good job in this as well.

I watched an instructional video on how to drive a forklift today. It was from germany, at one stage the driver was carrying a sheet of metal on the forks and had to stop quickly, sending the sheet into another guy cutting him in two, He then went around a blind corner to fast and stabeed one of the forks through a guys chest who was holding a chainsaw, the chainsaw was going and the driver kept driveing. Then the chain saw hit something and cut the drivers head of, the fork lift kept going and another guy got stabbed with the other fork, then they guy with the chainsaw had his arm cut of by a piece of sheet metal sticking out and the chainsaw crept along towards the guy who was cut in half, and his torso was cut in half verticly. The fork lift continued out of the warehouse and down the street.

Is it wrong that I enjoyed this so much? I believe it could have definitely gotten a theatrical release, no problem. Is it perfect? No, not close. Is it a good movie? That depends on your taste. I'd say it is at least worth a watch for the visuals. A very, very stylishly directed horror featuring a model-cast (who's acting is decent enough). The music selections and sound effects are equally excellent for a movie of this budget. The gore is done well, and the modern take on this old classic is refreshing. Could it be done better? Of course. Give this one a chance.

Along with the original, this has to be one of my favourite horror movies (or movies in general) of all-time. It's dark, atmospheric, has generally creepy moments - while all the time being utterly hillarious, quotable, disgusting, fun, repulsive, gory, and a host of other descriptive words. I never get tired of watching it. In fact, right now... I want to watch it again. But I'll opt out in exchange for Army of Darkness (which I haven't seen in it's entirety before).

I've heard nothing but terrible things about this. Ultimately, I only watched it because I like Kristen Bell (Being a VMars fan) - but I was pleasantly surprised. Very plesantly surprised. It's not at all terrible, though it isn't exactly good. First off, it's visually stunning. CGI is well rendered, cinematography is good, and the digital color overlays create a certain atmosphere. I swear I haven't seen a movie so limited to certain colours (blues, reds) since the black and white ages. Second, there are some genuinely eerie moments. Tense. If you like movies that make your hair raise, and are heavy on the computer graphics... you might like this. I have seen the original, but fell asleep halfway through. Of what I saw, this doesn't even compare. However, when placed aside the other PG13 horrors out like The Messengers... it's the better option.

And that hand-grab scene? Breathtaking.

I’m a huge fan of the entire Dead series, Evil Dead I & II and Army of Darkness are three of my all time favorites. I think Army of Darkness was more of an achievement for Sam than the first two because he was able to inject enough comedy into a “horror film” that it made it almost universally watchable while the other two were less accessible movies. Evil Dead I & II are both great horror films and sprinkle in comedy here and there which doesn’t make the terror too saccharine or pull the movie off course. Army of Darkness however really manages to cross into the next genre and hang there a bit and it makes sense that a lot of horror fans would like the first two because they’re truly horror movies while the third isn’t. Like I said, I love all three for different reasons, but I think Sam did a wonderful job of making a comedy a bit horrific with AoD.

Gryphon

I'll set aside the fact that this was written by HDC's very own Roderick Usher and try to review it without any bias. The story was fairly engaging, the acting was pretty good for a Sci Fi original, the gore was decent too. (Sean is 2 for 2 when it comes to having decapitations in his films. Nice!) The one major problem this film had was very bad/obvious CGI in just about every scene the Gryphon creature was in. I was also not a very big fan of the actor that played the main villain. He just seemed more like a drunk uncle than an evil sorceror to me, but all in all I found this to be pretty entertaining. If it had a little better budget for better CGI & actors, it'd probably be an above average fantasy adventure flick, but since it didn't have the budget for those things, I'll give it a.....

The Lost Tomb of Jesus

This was interesting from an archaeological standpoint. I'm not neccesarily convinced that what they found was actually the tomb of Jesus, but it's a thought provoking documentary nonetheless. The main issue I had with this was that they seemed to be jumping to conclusions too much and stating their own speculations & opinions as if they were facts which is not what a docmuentary should do. And where was James Cameron? I thought he made this documentary, but evidently he must have only produced it because I didn't see him in the film at all. Anyways, it was good for making people think, but it was bad for trying to make people think along the lines of the filmmakers own biased view. Bottom line is that I didn't neccesarily feel like this project was approached objectively from the start. I would have liked to have seen an equal amount of people trying to disprove that this was the tomb of Jesus, instead of everyone involved in the project really, really wanting it to be the tomb. It seemed like they were using their own biased opinions/guesses/speculation to fill in the gaps to reach the conclusion they wanted.

That was on AMC a couple nights ago. I didnt watch very much, but what I saw was pretty cool. I always sort of dismissed it, but now I might have to give it a spin...

I highly recommend it, but I also know a few people that HATED it. I suggest checking out and deciding for yourself though. :)

The Dead Next Door

Pretty good low budget zombie flick with some fun and some really cheesy moments. Some things were a little much, like the last names (Raimi, Savini, Carpenter, Romero) of some of the characters but I'd suggest it to a zombie fan who likes low budget stuff.

Boogie Nights.
One of my all time favorite movies. It's brilliant, every part of it is pretty much flawless in my opinion. The script, the acting, even the camera angles are all perfect.
I can't hear "You Got The Touch" anymore without breaking into fits of giggles.
Which sucks, because we watch the Transformers movie.

The St. Francisville Experiment

This was like a Blair Witch ripoff. It started with the producer telling us everything we see is real & everything we see all happened in 1 night. Neither is true and the fact that they tried to pass it off as such was annoying to say the least. 4 regular people are sent into an actual haunted house for a night of ghosthunting. This much is true, but that's about where the truth ends here. These folks see several mysterious occurances which all seem incredibly staged and then at the end they even capture some footage of "real" ghosts. As I watched this, I pretty much knew it was all a bunch of bullshit so when I finished it up, I did a little research on the film and come to find out.... I was right. Here's the scoop. The 4 people were real & the really went into the a house that is actually supposed to be haunted. The backstory about the ghosts in the house though was all total bull and the mysterious things that happened were staged by crew members operating things from a trailer parked behind the home. When the "documentary" was & 1 night stay in the home were finished though, the studio wasn't satisfied so they called all the characters in the film out to LA for some reshoots & to add some scenes, which turned out to be the most obviously staged parts of the movie. So, despite what the filmmaker said at the start, it was not all real & it didn't even all take place in 1 night.

Then when you throw in the fact that the 2 girls in the film happen to be just about the most annoying people I've ever seen in any film ever, you've got yourself one crappy movie. Steer clear of this one.

D

I'd give it an F, but the concept was decent. It was just terribly executed & there was no need to have the film maker flat out lie to us at the start of the film. That's just annoying.





Borat

Can a movie this hyped up live up to the standards being set for it? Almost. It was pretty funny throughout, but I have to question how much or how little some of the people he fucks with really know what's going on. For instance, Pam Anderson lives in Hollywood and The Ali G Show was popular before this movie was filmed so are we really supposed to believe that she had never seen or heard of Borat before? I doubt it. Some of the people really seemed genuine, others it was hard to tell.

In any event, it was pretty funny, but by no means the funniest thing I've ever seen which is what some people will tell you.

Stranger Than Fiction was pretty good. :) Last I watched?

Dirty Love - which, y'know, ISN'T as bad as IMDb would make it seem. It is utterly terrible, and the acting could make a baby cry, but there are some geniuenly funny moments. I rarely laugh out loud at "comedies" but I laughed a few times during this. I have an odd kind of humour. I'm sorry, but bleeding from a period all along the store as a store clerk yells "clean up on aisle #" as she runs around holding super abosrbant grannie pads just makes me giggle.

I am also watching the complete series of Point Pleasant. On episode 10 of 13. One disc left! :o It's getting good. Too bad it was cancelled before these episodes aired.

I like it about 70000 times more than the second one, despite what people think. The second one it almost TOO emotional, with the money problems, love, loss of family, coping with EVERYTHING, I think it's too much. The first is just, light, some thematic stuff, but mostly plot, much better.

My only problem with the first one is Green Goblin, otherwise I agree 100%.

IMO the Green Goblin wasnt a great villain to begin with. Making him look like a rejected power ranger villain sure didnt help either.

I don't care much for him either. He isn't the worst thing to ever happen to cinema or anything, and his ties to spiderman were cool, but he does look very childish. He has some very cool weaponry, like the razor disc bomb he uses in the burning building, etc.

The movie is literally defined by the "drop" scene. It keeps you in suspense even after seeing it so many times, although it's kinda unreal, how she falls and hangs onto that tram...

This is my 3rd or 4th time seeing this & it's still managing to entertain me. It's funny from start to finish & to date, is still Broken Lizard's best film. I gave it an A- the first time I graded it on here & I'll stick with that grade this time around. Very entertaining.

A-





The Hills Have Eyes 2

Not as good as the original at all. There were a few parts that were just too stupid to believe (How the hell can 9 people ALL forget that it's daylight savings time? That's simply ridiculous, but it's what causes them to be late & in turn causes them to decide on taking the dreaded Hillbilly Horror film shortcut.) I also didn't like how much Pluto spoke in this one. The gore was good looking, but pretty tame. From who would survive to how the villain would be killed at the end, this film was easy to predict from less than 10 minutes into it. One thing I did like though was which character they decided to use from the original film. That was unique. In all, this is definately not one of Wes Craven's better films.

Second viewing, but this time on dvd.

Saw the original ending in the "Deleted scenes" and i seriously don't understand why the director didn't go with that one???

Not that it was a "good" ending, but it was a HELLUVA lot better than the chosen alternative.

Other than that my opinions about this movie stays the same. Good jumps, good horror story, Barry Watson is flawless in the lead role and perfectly casted. And the ending still ruins it all....

It seems to just drag on and on with nothing happening. It's a great film, but, 2 and a half hours for aliens is too much. It is a lot like dog soldiers, but Aliens is a lot less abundant in the fun factor. Great action, when present, and great finale.

They do explain it pretty well in the movie, but for more detail I recomend checking out some of Lovecraft's stuff: Call of Cthulhu , Dagon, ect. Those "giant octopi things in space" are heavily influenced (if not 100% based on) the Lovecraftian "Great Old Ones".

Fast Food Nation(2006) Dir. Richard Linklater.

been looking forward to this since the trailer i first seen few months back. not reading anytiihing about this, except Linklatter i thought this was going to be a straight up comedy. i was wrong. its more of a day-to-day of people who are in one way or another employed by a fast food restaurant called Mickeys. The movie takes place between 3 seperate groups of people. one is a bunch of illegal mexicans just hopping the border start working at a slaughterhouse that provides meat for Mickeys, the other a teenage girl who is a hostess at a Mickey's and the other is a president of marketing of Mickey's corporation.

7/10 - worth checking out. its got a gruesome ending which alll meatlovers will love.
