Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
One of the grandest of all science-fiction films. It isn't so much a movie about aliens, but more so one about faith. One of Spielberg's very best, right up there with Jaws.

Eastern Promises
It was another great picture from Cronenburg... I just thought the ending was lacking, it almost seemed like that was just the first part. Perhaps there will be a follow up.

I've only heard about them, so when someone mentioned seeing them, I had to ask...
Do you mean "good" as in "actually good"? Or as in "ironically good"?

Boogeyman 2
I'm sure you all know the shitfest that was 2005's Boogeyman. Well, this is the direct-to-dvd sequel... and there is a third film in the works, so the word goes. Now, you're probably vomiting right now at the mere mention of a sequel. You shouldn't be. This film is absolutely, in every way possible, better then it's predecessor. If you could even call this film a sequel... that is. It is completely different. The only connection the two share is a reference to the character within the 2005 film, and that's for a mere 5 seconds near the end.
This is a slasher flick, true to the bone. It has a central location. It has a cast of characters, each who die one by one in grotesque ways. It has a buttload of gore; often quite well done, and traps to match. It has characters struggle to identify the killer, and your classic SPOILER... "killer got away" ending.
There was even a scene of genuine tension; as well as a female nudity scene, and a full-blown sex scene (albeit interspliced with a gruesome death to eliminate any eroticism... unless your into maggots.)
Hell, scenes from this film could easily be cut into a mock SAW 5 trailer. It has Tobin Bell spouting a few monologues about bettering oneself, it has a tape recorder scene, a figure that resembles the pig outfit Amanda wore, and traps. Plenty of traps. Throw in the staple SAW jingle in the final scene, and you even have the twist.
I'd recommend it if you like slashers. It has ABSOLUTELY little to do with the 2005 Boogeyman, and I have no idea why they deemed it appropriate to title it BOOGEYMAN 2.

Sapnglish: Well acted, very well acted. I am tired of movies ending with no resolution, however. If I want a "slice of life", i'll pay closer attention to my own.
Sweeny Todd. I hate musicals as a rule, but Tim Burton and Johnny Depp could make a movie about selling leaky bags of dog shit and it would probably be brilliant. If all musicals had this much darkness and gore, i could become a fan of the genre.

Shrek 3
No where near as terrible as I was led to believe. While it certainly isn't as good as the first, and doesn't even come close to touching the second, it's not all bad. I was glad that it kept it's sense of humour. I laughed out loud numerous times, and thats a rare thing for me to do. There is humour for both the young and the old. Some references kids just wouldn't get, and I was semi-shocked that they included such references in a child-aimed movie. It did a good job on the parodying, and I especially loved the high school scene. I also liked how they dealt with the 'princesses', sort of Charlie's Angels-esque. Ultimately though, the soundtrack is drastically cut down and it's lacking that big final message / emotional scene. I also missed those adrenaline scenes (you know, those actions scenes that are so beautifully animated, and set to a catchy song)... such as the Fairy's workshop scene in 2nd, or the giant gingerbread man scene in the 2nd as well. While it's the worst of the trilogy, you could certainly do a lot worse when selecting a CGI Kids flick. Some of them are downright shit (The Wild, for example...), but I'm sure Amalthea will tell you differently.
A solid B.

These are my audiences reactions to the films we watched and do not reflect my opinions.
Santa's Slay: Pure cheese. Laughed asses off throughout. A lot of fun.
Planet Terror: Not only is it filled with cheese, but it has a good story. An actual "quality" movie. It was deemed a good movie that also had a lot of cheese as an added bonus.
Black Christmas (2006): Better then the original. Moved a lot faster. Liked the added backstory. Was general scared in some scenes / jumped a lot.
Evil Dead II: Was confused... sort of put off. Liked the original better. Though there were more laughs, however.

Seriously, that dude will be playing the same character when he's 50. It's pathetique. He's a young Leslie Nielsen, except that Leslie first got stuck when he became a senior actor...
On the plus side, i guess the first half of the movie had some ok funny moments. It also had some pretty funny supporting roles.
But the biggest plus was, without a doubt, Isla Fisher. She really brought a whole deal to her character and I fell in love with her the moment she started talking. Why didn't Biggs do the same?? That ungrateful JERK!!

Juno – a decent debut by a first-time screenwriter, despite my dislike for the director’s work. Neither as funny or as heartwarming as it’s supposed to be, but not bad.

The Shaggy Dog, Knocked Up & Finding Neverland
Knocked Up wasn't as funny as I thought but I still was able to enjoy it. Finding Neverland was really good though even though some may be put off by the slow pace. I can honestly say I laughed more watching The Shaggy Dog (1959) than Knocked Up.

How does I Am Legend compare to Omega Man or Last Man on Earth?
Just watched Shoot Em' Up and I really feel like I've been using the words "mindless action flick" incorrectly... until now. I still had fun with it but there's nothing here for anybody looking for depth, story, emotion, character progression, or realism. It's just a lot of guns going off with some great stunts and a lot of visual flair.

I watched the NC-17 rated version of Bad Lieutenant earlier today. I was expecting some laughs and lots of action, But didn't get much of either. The tone of the movie turned out to be quite serious and to the point...
Definately a good movie though. However it was pretty sad and made me feel pretty f*cked up in some parts - Knowing that kind of stuff goes on and whatnot.
I wonder which scenes were cut out to make the R rated version...
Nonetheless, reccomended.

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

I watched the NC-17 rated version of Bad Lieutenant
I wonder which scenes were cut out to make the R rated version...
GREAT movie, I think part of the nun rape and Keitel spinning around naked and blitzed would both have been cut. Anyway, here's how the DVDs compare and NONE have cuts.
OVERALL: Draw
with R2 French CE, for the additional extra-features and English 5.1 -audio (note, that subtitles are "forced"), and R1 (optional subtitles). With R1, it's unconfirmed if the OOP release contains the cut musical cue and unfortunatly there is no way to tell from the packaging which version it is (so it seems).
CUTS:
R1 America - (Artisan) - No cuts: "NC-17" -version, this OOP version may have included the original Schoolly-D musical queue (unconfirmed).
R1 America - (Artisan - Re-release) - No cuts: 96:19 min (NTSC), "This NC-17 -rated version is uncut visually, though it should be noted that the soundtrack has undergone a slight alteration since the film's original release: Schoolly-D's "Signifying Rapper" had to be cut after it fell foul of a sampling copyright lawsuit."
R2 CE France - (Wild Side Video/MGM) - No known cuts (the original Schoolly-D musical cue is not confirmed).
R2 Germany - (Euro Video) - Germany - No cuts (92 min PAL) but it´s likely to be missing the Schoolly-D's 'Signifying Rapper' song
R2 United Kingdom - (Pathe! Distribution) - UK - No cuts (92m PAL - all previous cuts waived) but it is missing the Schoolly-D's 'Signifying Rapper' song
they're all based off the book i am legend by richard matheson
Yep, that's why I was wondering how the new movie compared to the last couple.

I just find it ironic that in trying to make a movie against violence, Neil Jordan created one of the most deadly serious, violent films of the year. It was too preachy to be a box-office sucess, and not smart enough in its argument to be critically sucessful.
I saw an interview with Foster that made me absolutely sick (and, mind you, I'm a big fan of her acting). In it, she detests the violence in movies such as Sin City, and says she's disgusted in how far it's come in such a comic way. Violence, she continues, should be a serious matter, one to be dealt with only in a realistic, serious tone. Therefore, she made The Brave One.
When I see a picture like Sin City, it's very easy for me to see that it's 100% fictional. When I see a picture like The Brave One, I realize that I am capable of commiting acts of violence like the ones I see on screen. It doesn't help me to stray away from violence, it only blends the line between entertainment and reality.
In trying to protest this cinematic violence, she's created one of the most brutally real, violent films of the year. Unfortunately, the people she's concerned about are only going to see it as a believable form of viciousness, something they can relate to much more easily.
I also find it funny that she can trash violent movies so easily when she owes much of her fame to films like Taxi Driver, Silence of the Lambs, and Panic Room.

The only thing they did do right, they took away the PG-13 trend and turned it into a slasher film. The bad thing is, now we are not only stuck with a mediocre slasher, we now have a new slasher villain. Can you say, "franchise"? Let's hope it ends with this one. Not even the great Tobin Bell was able to save it.

Pretty good. It's a little far fetched at times for the "This could happen to you" theme. The last 20 minutes of the film are worth the rental fee.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
I actually liked this when I saw it in theaters, but I liked it even more the second time around. It certainly has its faults, and often falls into the "too-much-money-for-its-own-good" blockbuster hole, but it's also a whalloping good time, and plenty exciting.
Plus, I'm a goddamned sucker for Keira.

Hidalgo. I love it, mostly because it has a special little place in my heart. When Bree and I were Engaged, we went and saw Hidalgo and Dawn of the Dead (04) the same day.

The NeverEnding Story
Bloodshed ~ most inane, nonsensical ending I have seen in awhile. I mean I wasn't expecting Shakespeare or anything, but still....;) Up until the ending, nothing special, but fun to mock....haha.
The Pumpkin Karver ~ I might have liked this one a bit better if it wasn't for the characters. Way too annoying, so it lost me.
Death Sentence ~ I actually really liked this, I thought it was well done, especially the last half hour or so.

I was looking for Less Than Zero also, which I swore I had but apparently loaned out. Still reading Glamorama, but have already come to the conclusion that a movie would be cool too.

SAW IV
Now, I must say... I'm pretty sure my local theatre is one of the worst around. It's located in a mall, not a stand-alone building. It's the only option, unless you want to drive a good two hours out. The screening rooms are small, and compact. The screens are equally small in comparison to every other theatre I've been to. The projected images are blurry, and often framed incorrectly (I've seen entire movies where the image was slightly skewed and stretched... so much so that the video itself buckled inward, to create a semi-circle top line instead of the usual straight line. As if the image was projected onto a half-pipe.) Not only this, but the projectionists seem to not care about their job. For example, when I went to see Sweeney Todd, the entire introductory scene was projected upside down. And in context of this review, when I went to see SAW IV... throughout the entire film, we had to deal with these half-second glimpse of future scenes. It would show a scene, show another for about a half-second, cut off abruptly, and move to another. Only to have that abrupt scene shown 10 minutes later into the film, in full. This happened more then once, more then three times. It was constant.
In fact, I'm feeling as though I missed half the scenes in the movie. Upon rewatching the unrated DVD version tonight, I felt as though I had not seen various scenes before. No, the unrated version does not include a whopping 10 minutes of extra scenes. Only partial gore segment enhancements. So that is not the reasoning. This time, watching it though, things made a lot more sense.
So... yeah... I liked it a lot better then I did when I saw it in October. A lot better. I'm going to go out on a limb and be willing to say that the SAW movies do keep improving on one another. Looking forward to V.

I've been showing it to friends all day long. I'm slightly addicted, having seen it 8 times in less than 18 hours. What gets me the most is the atmosphere, the performance of the lead, and the left-for-interpretation ending. Do you know any other film that are similar to this? I would love to see a feature-length version.

I admit the only reason I went searching for it online was because the title intrigued me. Thanks for sharing, cause I've watched it 3 times today as well. :) It is very creepy, especially that long car ride into the dark. It definitely deserves to be made into a feature length version, but I'm afraid that it would lose it's steam after a while (like most movies today).
As for another movie that may be similar to this one, I honestly can't say. The story is a bit classic: the crush that goes horribly awry, but it definitely has a unique twist to it.
Anyhoo... just finished watching another short, directed by Julia Stiles: Raving.

There's one line in the movie that's just perfect and hilarious because it encapsulates perfectly what a person feels when they get their heart broken. "If anybody smiles at me ever again, I'm going to freak out." :) It's a great, honest film.

Oh, yeah, definately. I felt like, for the first time in a long time, I was watching something truthful.
Actually, hellfire, I recommend a movie I just watched for the first time:
Pieces of April (2003)
Like 'Real Girls', this movie just feels so goddamned truthful. It never asks us to believe anything unbelievable, but instead reveals its story in a graceful, life-like way. This is some of the best independent filmmaking I've seen in awhile.

Have it and love it too. :) . And what a coincidence, Patricia Clarkson is in it as well. And she just steals every scene. She actually makes it so hard for us to hate her, and not because of her illness, but because she's just so funny, even when she's being hurtful with the people she loves. Again, it's a movie you completely identify with, the characters are real and flawed. Another great movie that showed that Katie Holmes can actually act. Or could, rather.
