Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[hammerfan]

Hey, I watched that last night.

I just watched......

Knocked up


I was bored and it was laying around, I'm still bored.

4/10


Yeah, I saw that on the Classic Movies forum - great minds think alike! :D

[Amalthea_unicorn]

White Night (2007) 8/10

[Disease]

Knocked up is one of the funnier movies I've seen in awhile.


It is designed for middle of the road couples who aren't very happy with them self, and at 2 hours and 10 mins... I don't see the appeal, It's a cheap tactic to make some money and nothing more... just a waste of your time. The type Of Movie Kevin Smith would make on a bad day while he has taken to much Valium... Worse than Jersey girl!

[Despare]

Worse than Jersey girl!

Jersey Girl was an honest romantic comedy and probably one of the better films in the genre.




I just watched Jumanji for the first time. No, I don't know why. Wasn't bad though.

[newb]

Oceans 13

I don't know......I get the fact that Clooney & Co. are the "NEW" rat pack....it just seems like these movies are a bit self indulgent.

I didn't hate it....it just was.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

The Ferryman

horrible music, and I felt that after most of the characters got killed off it was a boring finish. entertaining enough but I think it could have been much better.

6/10

Reincarnation

Another weird asian horror movie. Not that scary but it did have some freaky parts, mainly in the beginning... I think it kind of fizzled out after the first half in the scariness department

Wow. I really wasn't expecting it to be this good, this funny and this well directed. Really great stuff!

8/10

[Kane_Hodder]

Freddy vs Jason. Very entertaining.

[newb]

Wolf Creek

not horrible, but nothing I haven't seen. Most notable for having what has to be the stupidest victim I have ever seen in one of these.

******************spoiler************************


we are free....wait....lets me go back to get a car.....hmmmm.....let me watch some of these video tapes ....wait...let me climb down this hole.....and lose my gun.....hmmm...I wonder if I've given the killer enough time to get back yet....all these cars....let me get in the one with the killer in the back seat

[jenna26]

The Ferryman.


Most recent horror I have been watching has been pretty average, but this one came across as a pleasant surprise. It has loads of atmospheric creepiness mingled with some very good and creative suspense throughout. The plot drags a bit in-between, but some notable directing and acting pulls it forward smoothly through the second half. It is technically solid, with great cinematography and a fresh look...so I give this a good 07/10.

Recommended to Alky, Rod, urge, newb, jenna, Styg, Austin, Elvis and the fans of atmospheric stuff.

Okay, thanks.....have added it to the netflix queue. :)

2001: A Space Odyssey

"Rise: Blood Hunter"
- Lucy Liu, Micheal Chiklas

Story of a reporter (Liu) who is killed by a vampire, returns as a vampire then goes out for revenge by killing the vamps who turned her.
Chiklas is a cop who's daughter was killed by the same vamps and he ends up helping Liu's character.

One of the most boring movies I have ever seen. No scares, little action and a terrible plot. Not worth the effort of even renting it.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry-I like Adam Sandler so... I liked this.

[ChronoGrl]

Zodiac

Great cast.

7/10

I actually found that movie to be incredibly... Dull and overrated... As though it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be Horror, Thriller, Ensemble, or Period Piece... I think it wanted to be a Period Piece... But the latter focus on Jake Gyllenhaal's disintegration toward the end made me think that maybe it was a psychological piece...? Maybe...?

...

Last night I watched The Station Agent (http://imdb.com/title/tt0340377/).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/station.jpg

Charming melancholic indie film about misanthropes finding each other.

WOW that description was pretty cheesy.

Anyway... It was nice, well-directed and quirky.

awww i loved that film, i had to go see it for nathan fillion and the fact that the writer and director is dead, even tho she's in it........ funny and bitter sweet

"Shelly's death was first considered a suicide. Days later, a 19-year-old Ecuadorian illegal immigrant and construction worker confessed to slaying the actress, who he left hanging by a bedsheet from a shower rod in the bathroom of her Manhattan office/apartment. She was found by her husband."

Disappointing to say the least, Beowolf was a warrior not a braggart and casting Ray Winstone in the title role was a mistake IMO, he has the perfect voice for it but he can't hide his roots, Vikings did not have cockney accents :(

I'm glad i've seen it, it was worth watching for the animation and graphics alone but, much as i love mythology this is one movie i won't be buying

I finally got to watch the end of "A scanner darkly"

Die Hard 2- 7/10

[Posher778]

Severance. I was really looking forward to this movie... and I felt really let down. It had the potential to be a really enjoyable and fun flick, but it was extremely weak. There were a few moments of decent suspense and action, but it just wasn't sufficient enough to save the film. A mediocre attempt at comedy horror that could have been much better.

5/10

[Disease]

The Descent

First time since I saw it at the cinema.. I still really like it, I picked up on the score more this time, I dug the 80's John Carpenter style bass line that came in when Sarah met up with Juno towards the end...

I have to disagree 100%

I found it to be amazingly funny and smart as hell. The satire is non-stop and the depth of comedy in every frame is so intense that it takes repeated viewings to catch it all.

Mark me, this will be heralded as a work of genius in 5 years... about as long as it took for Office Space to have an impact.

What did you think of Downfall ? Review ?

One of the most significantly brilliant war movies of all time. Bruno Ganz remarkably portrayed the role of greatest villain in history.

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/02/18/arts/18down.1.390.jpg

It is fascinating and it strongly holds my attention for its very long running time without delivering much dramatic conclusion in the end. It had a way of making you feel sorry for certain characters. One of which was to watch how the children of Joseph and Magda Goebbels were killed. Overall, the script was great with beautiful cinematography.

You've been brain washed.
Hollywood has been slick and glossy with a big bang at the end for decades that this is what you expect.

You have to rewatch it when you have been in a quiet mind for awhile and not much TV and movies for about a week.
This film is very noirish, so watch an old Hitchcock black and white to get into the groove. (Cat People the original would be another one that has the same pacing.)
Trust me, it will make a difference:)

No, no I don't think so.....;) I'm glad you liked it, but the characters weren't the least bit interesting to me, and neither were the performances. And the ONLY interesting part of the film, the murder of Elizabeth Short, seemed incidental to the plot. Other films have done it much better, if I am in the mood for film noir, I will stick to The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, etc....films with characters that actually do draw me in, and keep me interested.

...

Most recently watched films of moi:

Cinderella (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Cinderella/70064834?trkid=90529)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/cinderella.jpg

Korean film centering around a girl whose mom is a successful plastic surgeon. Meanwhile, her friends are haunted by a dead wet girl (why is it always dead wet girls??)...

Honestly, not that bad a ghost story. Pretty typical I think of Asian cinema; fairly slow build-up with some pretty poor editing choices at the beginning... The payoff is pretty ultimately horrific, however. I would recommend if you are a fan of Asian ghost stories.

C+/B-

Pecker (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126604/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/pecker.gif

Possibly my favorite John Waters film, this movie definitely has all the quirkiness that the director promises with a little bit of heartwarm... It's a film about an aspiring photographer, Edward Furlong (MAN! When was the last time you saw him?!) and his subjects, spanning from the gay bar down the street to his sugar-obsessed little sister, to Christina Ricci.

Fantastic film. B+/A-


Arang (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Arang/70066111?trkid=90529)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/arang.jpg

Another Asian ghost story, again from Korea. A female detective investigating the bizarre murders revolving around four male friends...

Honestly, I actually found it incredibly well directed and an interesting take on the feminist side of horror. Seriously. Director Sang-hoon Ahn creates a believable strong woman and challenges the patriarchal horror archetype by objectifying and haunting the male characters. That's not to say that this movie is devoid of sexism, but in the Asian Horror world of victimized girls, it's good to see that it's not only the Ghost fulfilling revenge, but the detective as well.

I really enjoyed it and would definitely see it again.

I didn't find it pretentious in any way...it was the first film in ages not to glamourise vampirism, and added their own philosophy and cultural beliefs into it...it was just a little...complex, not a style of direction the larger world is really used to.

With the invitation from her sister, Victoria Flown to Paris from the States and then joined the party at night in a catacomb of 200-mile stretch of limestone tunnels lined with the remains of 7 million people. After getting lost there Victoria becomes convinced that someone monstrous or something mysterious is chasing her.
Well...it's an "Inspired by true events" movie and at the end of this film it seems quite alright. It could or should be happen to the people. Surprisingly I have read some reviews where someone tried to compared it with The Descent and I wonder what the hell wrong with him/her.

Just saw it, my immediate reaction was.. bleah..:eek:
I was like wtf?? who made this piece of crap, like the story isn't even worth telling not to mention make a whole movie 'bout it, it's no surprise it was banned in almost 50 countries .. anyway some of the effects were pretty cool, i mean it's made in the 80' or so... the movie's tagline was sort of like this "Ripout! Barbeque! Devour! How long can you take it?" lame, just lame, anyway i watched it all, even watched it a second time to make sure the effects were in deed effects, i wasn't sure the first time :)).. my score will be i guess about a 6 on a 1 to 10 scale.. it's lame though but nice effects...:p

Woa i't almost coming to a new year from when i registered here.. time to get to posting baby, no joking around anymore, leave the sex for later we got some serious business here

[ChronoGrl]

Spiderman 3~ there's enough here to like, good special effects for sure, and I enjoyed it overall, I suppose....but there was WAY too much going on, and it hurt the movie. And some of it was just annoying (Peter Parker's bad side). Oh and Venom wasn't used enough. Just not nearly as good as the first two.

Dude. In the last 30 minutes of the movie every single male lead was crying. Did anyone else have issue with that? I mean, we all knew that Peter Parker was a pussy, how can we possibly take anyone else seriously if they're weeping and trying to kick his ass at the same tine?! - Keep the eyes dry.

Bruce Campbell's 5 minutes - Best five minutes of the film hands down. Then again, I am thrilled to pieces with all of his Old Spice commercials.

That's it! If, instead of Spider Man 3, Sam Raimi made an hour and a half long Old Spice commercial... I wouldn't have left the theater grieving that I had lost 2 hours of my life.

[/SPIDERMANRANT]
...

Anyway.

Last night I watched Ju-On (http://imdb.com/title/tt0330500/) for the first time.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/grudge.jpg

I had seen the American remake when it came out, and honestly at the time I was living in my own apartment, by myself, and was incredibly drunk. First, it scared me sober and then it kept me up all night (I eventually got to sleep by convincing myself that if there was a vengeful wraith in my apartment it would have already gotten me - no lie), so suffice to say, I was fairly impressed with its direction and acting (though I really hate Sarah Michelle Gellar).

I was really looking forward to the original, especially since I am completely intrigued by the fact that it's directed by the same guy - Takashi Shimizu.

As to be expected, the direction was incredible. Horror and suspense were built up well, and the physical manifestation of the ghost is still just as frightening (I even screamed a few times)...

HOWEVER...

I found the intermingling stories meandering, confusing, and relatively superfluous. I could see why he omitted a lot of them when remaking it. The film definitely drags out longer than it should have and the payoff (the "twist" if you will) is completely unnecessary and nonsensical.

Sorry, Shimizu, but I liked the remake better (and thought it was COMPLETELY underrated at the time).

I give Ju-On a B-/B (extra points for obviously being well directed and a novel representation of the ghost itself). I'd see it again, though.

You give some of the best reviews........keep it going girl.

as far as this one....I don't agree 100%

I did see the original first....so that may sway my thoughts.

I loved the original and thought the remake was very good as well.

as far as the meandering, confusing, and relatively superfluous parts......I think that could be more of a cultural difference.

No, to be honest, I didn't really think about it....;) I was much more annoyed by the dancing Peter Parker bit, which was very lame, particularly when we supposed to be believing he was going a little bad. It was a disappointment, just because I thought the second one was pretty damn good. Of course I have always had a soft spot for Spidey.

Yeah, how annoying was that? So inconsistent with the rest of the film!! But... Yet... So Sam Raimi. :rolleyes:

Turistas

I had been waiting to see this for a long time. Maybe the wait built up expectations far to high. I thought it was rather shite, too many holes, terrible score and really no edge to it what so ever. Just cheap gore. And where where all the tits and sex, from what I had heard you guys saying it was overdone with it... there was hardly any in the unrated version???

[ChronoGrl]

Call me lame, but so do I... but for different reasons. ;)

hee... Not lame at all... And, honestly, it wasn't just the bikinis... I thought that atmospherically it worked better... I thought that it handled the concept of alienation a lot better than Hostel did, and, well, the torture scene in Touristas was more gruesome (I wasn't impressed with Hostel and make the argument that if it should truly be considered "torture porn," there should be a LOT more torture), and I felt more threat from Touristas than I did with Hostel. Not to mention, the landscape is gorgeous yet so threatening at the same time... I thought the direction was fantastic.

Glad I found a like mind.

...

Tonight I saw the first two installments of the Final Destination movies for the first time.

Final Destination (http://imdb.com/title/tt0195714/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/55m.jpg

Fantastic concept and some of the greatest death scenes that I have seen in a movie (as a matter of fact, the Death Scene thread inspired me rent it)... The idea of DEATH having a plan (versus Fate or Life) was more gothic and chilling that the whimsical sort of movies that pontificate on the Butterfly Effect.

Definitely a fun teenage slaughter fest. I give it a solid B.

Final Destination 2 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0309593/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/55m-1.jpg

meh.

I didn't mind the perpetuation of the concept. I actually thought that this film tied into the first one pretty well (usually when sequels tie into originals, there are contrived and corny bits, but Final Destination 2 handled it pretty well). The death scenes were not particularly memorable, though the initial "Vision" was pretty horrific (I actually enjoyed it better than the initial "Vision" of the first movie), but that was it.

I was actually bored throughout most of it.

C-/C

...

As if those weren't enough, my boyfriend and I rounded the evening off with...

1408 (http://imdb.com/title/tt0450385/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/55m-2.jpg

Uhm.

The first part of the movie was pretty impressive - the lead-up (Samuel L Jackson), the building of John Cusak's character, the introduction of the room. VERY impressive. Visually stunning. Definitely creepy. Used the restriction of the single setting and single actor very effectively.

HOWEVER

The middle to latter half of the movie definitely embodied all that I do NOT like about Stephen King (and I do LIKE him - I just recognize his flaws as a writer)... The tragic flawed hero being tortured and seeking redemption... The concept of evil beyond... All... I thought that it dragged on absolutely unnecessarily. I was VERY disappointed.

But I liked it better than Final Destination 2.

C perhaps.

[alkytrio666]

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

[crabapple]

Enchanted (theatre).....I give it a 7.5 or an 8 if I'm feeling really friendly. Fun movie, decent, charming.

Time After Time (video) classic fave.

Yeah I did that, I hired it, then when I went to watch it I realized I had seen it on cable a few years before but never caught the name. I felt ripped off. :mad:

[novakru]

August Rush- 5 stars

[Zero]

on video i just watched Paris Je T'aime - cool if you love Paris but generally uneven and not many segments that were inspiring (for those who might not know the film is broken into segment - one for each district (or quartieme) of Paris and each directed by a different director. The Cohen Brothers had a nice one as did Wes Craven, but most were fairly uninteresting.

Like I said, if you love Paris and have spent time there you will appreciate it - if not then its an interesting 'film school' exercise in style and short filmmaking

[Posher778]

Shoot Em' Up- 6.5/10

One of the best mindless shooting movies i've seen in a while, worth a watch. Clive Owen does a good job as usual.

[hellfire1]

Glad I found a like mind..


Exactly. I found the characters more likeable and was therefore more drawn into the movie, making it more suspenseful for me and caught myself wincing at certain torture scenes which I found 10 times more gruesome than Hostel (if that's all people are looking for in a film)... just overall the better movie imo, and this coming from a guy who made such movies like Blue Crush and Into the Blue.



Anyhoo... Stardust and Dead Silence (kinda).

[BLAdams]

Watched The Reaping and Delta Farce a couple of nights ago.......

The Reaping was VERY GOOD well worth watching wouldn't mind watching it again......:o

Delta Farce on the other hand was a big disappointment. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be.
Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall together in a movie should have had me rolling on the floor but I was far from it......:mad:

[Geddy]

Children Of Men.

Well said. *knods sagely*

Anyhoo... Stardust and Dead Silence (kinda).

What did you think? I absolutely ADORED Stardust... Thought that it was whimsical and very well done (and the first time that I've enjoyed Robert DeNiro in a LONG time)... I really need to get my hand on the Neil Gaimon novel... Dead Silence however... Ech. Blech.

...

Today...

Me and my boyfriend's family went to see

BEOWULF 3D
(http://imdb.com/title/tt0442933/)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/Chronogrl/55m-3.jpg

My initial responses to Beowulf's previews:

1. That looks AWESOME!
...
2. Wait, that looks like crappy CGI.
...
3. Well, maybe it'll look better in 3D...

Yeah, not so much.

Honestly, the beasties were spectacular (Grendel, the Sea Monsters, and the last battle, a Dragon). They looked incredible and the action scenes were definitely enjoyable.

HOWEVER

For most of it, I just felt as though I were watching a video game. The story and the writing were terrible, and they should have just stuck with action... The humans looked awful (because of the method of transposing CGI, they looked as though they were stepping out of some king of RPG to the big screen... Dull faces, unrealistic hair and all of the issues that comes from creating CGI people).

The only human character who stuck out was John Malkovich, who was honestly enjoyable... But he didn't have enough screen time.

The themes of the story were pedantic parables about pride, bravado, and hubris... Nothing new with no attempt to make them novel.

I had heard a few reviews that had claimed that the movie was tongue and cheek, but the movie took itself far too seriously to be self conscious in anyway, shape or form.

Some parts were pretty to look at, but overall it was yawnable...

C+/B- (The special effects were really INCREDIBLE... There were just too little beasties. Alas).

[Phalanx]

Apocalypto.
First time viewing.
Exciting in parts, sad in some, downright fucked up in others.
Overall pretty decent, not really my kind've movie though.

The Host- Hated It

















































The ENTIRE movie is them trying to find that little girl and then she's DEAD?? WTF?.

Vacancy ~ liked it better than I expected to, but more could have been done with it.

1408 ~ I love this movie, some very effective scenes, and I think Cusack really pulled it off very well. I was afraid I would be expecting too much, but I wasn't disappointed in the least.

Loved Stardust. Great modern fairytale (incredibly modern... they didn't include sex back in my heyday). Loved Ricky Gervais. It kept me awake and laughing even after 2 days of not sleeping altogether (thought the same of DeNiro and was kinda sad his role wasn't longer, but the movie is so rich in good characters, that he wasn't missed for long)....

After this however, I saw Dead Silence... and woke up just in time for the final twist. :p Didn't do much for me, the parts that I did see. Gonna have to watch it again just to be sure.

[ChronoGrl]

I agree! That pissed me off so much. It wouldve been excellent but that ruined it

Are... You... Guys... Serious?

I thought the movie was fantastic. Honestly, the ending was a bit grim and inconsistent with the rest of the film, but at the same time it certainly reminded you that this was a monster/horror movie. I imagine that the intent was more to draw you back to the reality of the situation (where the comedic interludes might have distracted you)... I found the end very grimly droll... Wasn't sure whether or not I really found it a perfect film, but wasn't that annoyed with it.

[Posher778]

Wicked Little Things- 6.5/10

Atmosphere was stunning, acting was acceptable, scare factor...... weak. It was one of the better 8 films IMO

[missmacabre]

I like cheese, but this didn't grill well with me... I thought it blew.... I hoped for so much more.

I agree with you. It wasn't great considering all the hype (especially the hype among my friends) but throwing everything that I heard out the window, it was good. I wouldn't suggest it as a horror movie, but as a comedy.

Nothing to laugh about. You don't like good films. Makes me sad, actually.

No Country For Old Men

Not my favorite Cohen Brothers film, but I'd put it in their top 5, which makes it better than most other films out there regardless of genre. I loved the ending and how they play with audience expectations throughout the film. Nothing is over-explained, nothing is even remotely over-stated. Subtle, beautiful film making that left my head spinning, but was somewhat emotionally unfulfilling. Posher would hate it.

8.5/10

I'll probably like this one even better upon repeated viewings.

[hellfire1]

Two Weeks Notice

Like The Rock, Sandra Bullock is someone who can do no wrong by me, even with movies such as these. Just makes me smile.

[Yellow Jacket]

The Invisible

Typical teen horror movie, but not as bad. Justin Chatwin's performance helped this film out a lot.

3/5

[Posher778]

We All Scream For Ice Cream (Masters Of Horror)

Nothing special.... it wasn't anything i'd really recommend but it wasn't bad. It had a few bits that were on the eerie side but nothing memorable.

Trucks

Based on a short story by Stephen King (seems like every horror movie nowadays has this attached to it), this direct-to-TV USA Films movie is about killer trucks. I can't explain it any more than that. Going into this film, I was hoping for a Duel-like movie, about crazy truck drivers preying on an innocent little town. But all I got was living, killing trucks. It was stupid and dull. The attack scenes were just boring and were the worst parts of the movie. The worst thing though is that the cover art was pretty cool.

Damn you, cover art!

I'll Always know what you did last summer

IT's not that bad of a franchise. But there was to many holes in the movie, I hope there is more to come. They could still make some really good movies with what has been laid out so far. Also I didn't like the MTV spect to this one, uhuh...

Futurama: Bender's Big Score

It's great to see one of the most underrated series return! It's as if they never left (though they do remind us in the beginning). If you're a Futurama fan, check this one out.

I watched Sublime last night and I wish someone would have warned me about it before I spent the money to rent it.It was the sorriest excuse for a movie I had ever seen.Definitely not worth the watch.:mad:

Looked promising, but was just plain stupid. I might've chuckled here and there, but a chuckle doesn't made a good comedy. Isla Fisher (God I love her) was the only good thing about this movie.

Agree with you on that one.

It looked like it could be pretty funny, but no.... It made absolutely no sense. And not in the Austin Powers or Airplane style of nonsense.... Just... Don't even bother

Exactly. I felt the same way. I thought I was going to come out laughing, but came out pretty pissed off.

Children of the Corn

Watched 155 films so far this year. Here's what I've seen this month...
The first two were the best. Waitress was also quite good.
Ratatouille was as good as any Pixar film, but Nemo is still my favourite.
Pleasantville was far better than I expected. Really surprised me.

Eastern Promises
http://entimg.msn.com/i/150/mo/OneSheets/new3/easternpromises.jpg

One of the finest cronenberg film. Everyone did splendid job with their character. The story was simply beautiful which about a London midwife Anna (Watts) who seeks clues to identity a teen who died in childbirth and left a diary. From the diary she get the attention of Russian mafia, because it carries a dirty secret of their kingpin.

Definitely worth a watch.

Really dumb. Kinda funny. If Edgar Wright had a stroke, he might make films like this. I laughed a couple of times.

Legend

Wondering which version this is though, since the music was completely different (and I found it waaay better... no Tangerine Dream, yuck!). Only Mia Sara's singing threw me completely off, but find this version better than the one I saw as a kid.


The Hamiltons

Not bad, not good. A bit slow. Interesting concept that I think could have been better exploited.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 6
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.

I am glad they made a seventh installments, as this would have been a horrible way to end a franchise. Each installment of the NOES franchise thus far has provided some excellent special effects. The fourth one was the climax, in my opinion, but I enjoyed each of them. UP UNTIL THIS INSTALLMENT. My god, what trash!

The story wasn't all that great, but what ruined it the most, was the effects! The visuals. The trailer even exclaims: "Cool graphics!" Oh my god. People don't tell me this wowed people back when it premiered. I felt like vomiting.

Did this start the switch from prosthetics to digital? If so, even more reasons to hate it. It was... oh god... I can't say this enough. Terrible. Terrible. TERRIBLE.

And then they go and highlight all the effects in the previous installments during the end credit clip reel? That contrast made it even worse.

That movie deserves an F----------. Freddy's Dead FUCKING SUCKED! I am a huge NOES fan, and when I watched this movie, I took it out of the DVD player and threw it across the room. The only reason I still own it is because I got the NOES box set and, if I get rid of it, the set doesn't look good. The worst thing is, the director has been with the NOES series since the beginning. You think she would've given Freddy a great finale (thank God it wasn't). But no, she makes a tragedy out of the movie. I've seen car accidents that looked better than this steaming pile of horseshit. And don't even get me started on the special effects. I too wanted to puke. Also, how come there were only about three deaths? What kind of slasher movie has this low of a body count? I wouldn't mind it so much if the kills were more inventive and entertaining (I'll admit, the hearing aid death was slightly enjoyable). All in all, the makers of this movie should burn in hell. Fuck this movie!

The Black Dahlia (2006) - 4/10

Despite his impressive visual style, Brian De Palma remains a hit-or-miss filmmaker. For every "Scarface" or "The Untouchables," there's a half-dozen misfires. Unfortunately, "The Black Dahlia" belongs in the misfire category. This deliriously incoherent James Ellroy adaptation suffers from flat acting and lack of narrative focus.

[Kane_Hodder]

The Exorcist - Director's Cut.
The subtle indications of the demon + the spider walk scene was noteworthy, but the theatrical version was better.

[jaybomb]

yesterday was a fearnet kind of day, watched catacombs...not bad for a free movie really liked the ending...also watched high tension, seen this before pretty fucked up movie, and finally ring around the rosie which i stooped 20 minutes in

[hammerfan]

Poseidon

Even tho I love the original from 1972, I really liked this. I thought the effects were good, and the acting was decent. But then, I'm a big Kurt Russell fan.

[joshaube]

Finished the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. It was the first time I had seen any of the installments in full. Here's how I'd rate them. 1, 7, 3, 4, 5, 2, and 6.

The Exorcist - Director's Cut.

Well this was released at cinemas as well. I went and saw it... Maybe it was better that way.

[jenna26]

Hostel 2 ~ more of the same, and that was what I was expecting, so I couldn't be disappointed this time. A couple of effective death scenes.

Pieces ~ I found this movie really, REALLY funny....:p WTF was up with the ending? Hilarious....and there were a few moments like that one. Glad we finally got to see it, been hunting around for it for awhile.

Oh and we watched Death Proof the other night. I prefer Planet Terror, it was just more fun, but really liked this one as well. Kurt Russell was great.

[The Mothman]

You should check out The Wild Bunch and A Fistful Of Dollars.

do you prefer a fistful of dollars to a few dollars more?
i might already know this, im not sure though

interesting idea, some parts extremely funny, but the rest was completley boring.

[alkytrio666]

I like For A Few Dollars More better, but I figured 'Fistful' was better to start off on. How about you?

[Yellow Jacket]

Skinwalkers
Had some fun moments, but the direction of Jim Isaac was lacking. Many recurring slow shots occured, and they never worked t begin with. Being rated PG-13 hurt this film quite a bit as well. Given an R-rating and some blood, this might've been passable.

2.5/5

yeah i like fistful better, im one of the few. i think it builds great atmosphere. some scenes in FAFDM felt a little overly dramatic. dont get me wrong, i love all 3 though.
