Red Dragon (2002)

I don't know. It was pretty good...but Harris' Lecter series never got the treatment they deserved...even with Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon is my favorite novel of the bunch, but the detail got dulled down during the transfer from print to film, and the characters just aren't as rich.

Good, not great.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007)

Burton's newest film actually exceeded my epectations. The way this musical is presented, especially during the first half, is so darkly macabre it's mesmerizing. The second act isn't quite as intricately developed, but it does its job, and we do get the bloody finale we long for.

Zodiac Director's Cut
The only difference I noticed between this and the theatrical version, was that this version included a minute or so of complete darkness, with audio overlayed. News clips and popular songs, mostly. To show the transgression of time. I would have liked if there was video to go along with it, since the darkness seemed very awkward.

Resident Evil- 5.5/10 It's entertaining and a fun movie, but it really does suck.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse- 6/10 I like it better than the first, and it has more action and a better plot. The 3rd film is still easily the best.

Gus Van Sant's The Last Days.

Very, very boring. Obvious the only reason I watched it was because it was inspired by Kurt Cobain. I thought it was going to be sort of interesting, but nope. I know the actual Kurt Cobain movie that's being made won't be any better, seeing as A) It's based on "Heavier Than Heaven" and B) Courtney Love is involved (and wants Ryan Gosling to play Kurt and Scarlett Johansen to play her).

They need to let Kurt rest in peace. The Last Day's is fucking horrendous. Van Sant made Kurt out to be a mumbling fool. I wish that twat Courtney Love would hurry up and O.D.
I'm sure if Love is involved that cunt will let them use Nirvana's music too. :rolleyes: She let them use it for a fucking baseball video game.

I remember seeing the commercials for that game, what a song called "Breed" has to do with baseball, I don't want to know.

Anyway, Courtney is selling pretty much everything Kurt or Nirvana-related because she needs to "make sure people live comfortably" (Her dealers?). I mean, I wouldn't mind a good Cobain film, but this one will basically be a cinematic vibrator for Courtney.

Gone Baby Gone
I want to thank Alky & The Mothman for pointing this film out. Before their mentioning of it, I had not even heard the name. What a shame it would have been if I had not sought this one out. It certainly is one of the best films of 2007.

This little segment in the film really stood out.
It's nice to see that, even the smallest of details, still packs a wallop.

When Casey's character is running things through his head, the camera just manages to catch a television screen. On that screen is a newscast. The two hosts end a story about Amanda McCready. They state how terrible such a case is, their gazes downward and their voices low. However, it's not a second later when they turn their heads to a co-host and the topic switches to sports, and the tone of voice to upbeat.

Gone Baby Gone is not just a story about finding a little girl.

There is no question about it.
If you get the chance, watch it.
Don't even consider passing it up.

It was all over the place with the camera. I knew it was home movie style, but I figured since it had special effects that it wouldn't be THAT bad. I was wrong. It made me so nauseous. I suggest to stay away from the deluxe movie theater nachos, or any food for that matter, before seeing this one.

This could have been a very good and deep thriller, but instead we get something that looks like a drama/comedy with no ups and downs at all. It just goes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Even the big reveal in the end is pretty much unexciting.

What I hadn't seen....

Black Sheep ~ lots of fun!

Shadows of the Dead ~ boring, very boring. About as much fun as staring at a wall for an hour and a half.

Mr. Jingles ~ terrible doesn't even describe it....but I was drinking tequila, and that made it hilarious.

Jekyll + Hyde ~ better than I expected it to be, which isn't saying much. Its not terrible exactly, just forgettable. And its been done many times, and been done so much better that it makes this just a waste of time.

Dark Remains ~ I actually enjoyed this one for the most part, had its problems but its not bad.

That was insane. That was... absolutely insane. Everyone in that theater was screaming, and I loved every second of it. Great monster, great flow. Awesome stuff. I don't want to spoil any of it, and since it's really easy to give a lot of it away, i'll stop with "go see it now"

Fortunato said it best.

Cloverfield
This will be the first film I make a fan-cut for.

SPOILER
I thought the film should have ended right after their getaway aircraft is attacked. Once they hit the ground, and that static image is displayed for two minutes. It should have then cut directly to the Coney Island scene... omitting that terrible final segment. Showing the creature head-on like that was a poor move, especially since it didn't look that realistic. The part where the two characters introduce themselves to the camera was also un-needed.

Otherwise, it was an amazing ride.
Very well done... go see it in theatres!

After getting back from Cloverfield, I have a hankering to watch Curse of the Blair Witch... a 45 minute mockumentary about the Blair Witch herself. Just discovered it on my DVD... :) I might end up watching the movie itself, too.

What a conicidence, I just got back from a date and we saw both those.

Juno... God, I really didn't want to see it, and it turned out totally different than I thought it would. But god, I have to say.... the movie was great. I didn't find anything wrong with the movie. Infact I may go back and watch it again this weekend. Also, the music, was great, even if I would probably never listen to them outside of the movie.

Cloverfield, best freaking monster movie in a long time. I liked the way they did it. Focusing on the people instead of the monster, which made the monster just that more awesome. The monster I didn't find it too realistic, but its a freaking movie, and its a giant monster than can take a freaking missle like nerf ball, so its not a big deal that it wasn't, oh lets say a giant fire breathing dinosaur. Because you know thats totally gonna happen. I infact liked it more because it was original, though it did kinda remind me of something from another movie, but I can't think of the title.

The Blood Rose (1970)

French film about a famous painter whose wife is horribly disfigured in a fire. He tells the world she is dead, and becomes a recluse in his country estate. He discovers that one of the people who work in his horticultural business is an infamous plastic surgeon, struck off for a botched operation on a child. This surgeon has been performing operations for criminals to change their appearance. With this information, our protagonist attempts to blackmail this surgeon into restoring his wife's lost beauty...

Interesting film, with the development of a good atmosphere.

I felt a little disappointed with the ending, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.

Worth a watch.

Death Tunnel ~ I have to give those that made this film some credit.....they tried. They took this business of making a horror film very seriously. Too seriously, you might say. Its a mess really. Its muddled, the flashbacks are very annoying, and it doesn't flow well at all. They try for a lot of jump scares, and even those are not effective (this is coming from someone that is ridiculously easy to make jump during horror films). Its actually shot surprisingly well, though. I guess that is something. And the setting is great, creepy. When it first started, I really wanted to like it. :(

Cloverfield.

I must admit, after watching the rather disappointing The Host last year, I was pretty conservative about 1-18-08. And the viral marketing added to the apprehension. But boy...am I glad to have finally decided to watch it!

The movie is an absolute gem in monster movies, and for once, you actually care for what the hell's happening in front of you. The whole narration of the plot is awesome (with the second person view of things adding to the whole atmosphere) and the direction is smooth as hell. The monster is actually scary...not as much from his on-screen presence but from the emotions it surges out in the viewers...and the cinematography captures its essence to a T.

Its a complete entertainer, and I really loved it as much as I loved Grindhouse last year. For that alone, I give it an

Death Sentence

James Wan's best film yet. A simple, fun exploitation flick with solid directing. Over the top, unbelievable and imperfect, but this is my cup of tea
7/10


The Wizard of Gore (1970) & Scum of the Earth (1963)

Last night's Grindhouse Film Fest had a doozie of a double-bill. I'm no huge fan of Herschel Gordon Lewis, but catching these films on the big screen with a rowdy, drunken audience is a good time. The films are weak. Scum of the Earth is a simple early "roughie" about a model who gets blackmailed into posing for degrading photographs...blah, blah blah, it's has some truly atrocious dialog that makes for a good laugh. The Wizard of Gore is a psychedelic freakout that makes no sense, has terrible acting and gore that is separated from being scary by the worst editing in history. I hadn't seen in in a decade and it held no new surprises.

There is a New Zealand indie film in theatres right now, but if you have Comcast on demand, you can watch it in your home right now. It's called Out of the Blue and it depicts the true story of a loner in a small NZ village who snaps one day and starts shooting his neighbors.

Sounds very mundane to Americans I'm sure, but this film is gripping. Utilizing actors who look like normal people, instead of actors, heightens the reality of the situation and everyone does a great job, especially the guy who plays the madman.

It shows how the actions of one person can affect the lives of so many. This is a truly rivetting thriller and I recommend it to everyone. I even watched it twice, which I rarely do. It's also very interesting to see how one community, not used to violence in its midst deals with it.

A really excellent movie.

The Astronaut's Wife.

This one had a very interesting premise right off from the beginning (sort of like the beginning from Species II), but soon fell away, especially towards the last 20-odd minutes.

Saying anything would give the plot away, but I ll say this...if the 2nd half was plotted better (instead of going The Brood or Rosemary's Baby's ways), this could have been an awesome thriller.

Among the cast, Depp is good in his usual self, but Theron disappoints. The supporting cast is strong, and the direction and cinematography are decent. Another good beginner falls out, because of the thin 2nd half and the weak ending.

Rambo.

He's back after more than a decade off-screen, yet John Rambo still packs the mean punches and upholds his moral values. A gritty and uber-violent flick, the action is relentless and the adrenaline rushes keep coming in waves one after the other. Stallone does a great job in calling the action shots, and after Rocky Balboa, is all set to take over the "Action King" status again.

Just watch it, for entertainment galore.

Boogeyman 2 is NOTHING like the original, and I actually enjoyed it. It's a slasher, in the classic sense. With a great cast of characters, a central location, a full-on sex scene, excellent gore, and inventive deaths. Tobin Bell is also in the cast.

I really recommend it for those who enjoy slashers.

Heartfelt, mostly genuine, and very funny. It's deserved most of the hype it's gotten, and Ellen Page and Michael Cerra do a fantastic job. Entertaining? Yep. Best Picture worthy? Hell no.

Atonement (2007)
This is the second time I've seen this, and I believe now more than ever that it's slightly better than 'No Country'. It's such an intensely involving story, and feels so much like something belonging to a much higher level of cinema. And the fact that Joe Wright didn't get nominated for Best Director (take a look at that six-minute, $15 million dolly shot) and Knightley and McAvoy were jipped is a damn shame.

Rambo (2008)
It really was not very good, aside from the last twenty minutes or so. It was bloody, violent, and gritty, but most of that comes from Burma soldiers to women and children, and that isn't what I payed to see. The climax was done in true Rambo form, but everything else was sorely lacking.

Too bad you didnt like it, Kev.

The docu-drama beginning was essential to give a little background on the current situation in Burma...and the first 30-odd minutes was a bit slow (by Rambo-ian standards), but overall I thought it was a great movie experience. Stallone as a filmmaker has evolved very nicely, coming off Rocky Balboa and now Rambo.

Alien vs Predator : Requiem.

Anderson's earlier disappointing video-game meeting of two of the most scariest franchises in cinema has evolved...and how! Requiem is all that AvP wasn't. It's intense, gritty, fast, relentless...and scary.

It picks off from where the first one left, and makes for surprisingly gripping viewing. The characterisation is not much to write about...since an AvP movie is all about body-count...so we have plenty of innovative fights and deaths, and the ultimate showdown. The Predalien is impressive, and the dark, brooding atmosphere of the entire movie is a big plus to the overall effect it leaves on the viewer. The Strause brothers have done plenty of justice to both franchises, which is notable...since that is where Paul W Anderson had failed.

Watch it at least once. You wont be disappointed.

Just give it a watch (it sounds like you haven't seen it yet.)
It's not amazing, but it's literally NOTHING ( I mean... there's a ONE SECOND mention of the first film, and the film involves a "boogeyman"... but so does 39502585825 other films.) like that shitfest that came out in 2005.


Agree.
Quite surprisingly it's entertaining. Actually I didn't expect this much from this sequel after the dreadful 1st part. A good time passing flick for a horror fan.

anyway, last seen...
Solstice (2007)

...lack of scary moments, no gore and overall, I think they did very rough & little work with the plot to just make a horror film asap.

Since Thursday, I've seen:

Cloverfield – Not unlike a lot of other people, I really liked the monster and destruction parts, kind of hated the characters. Not a bad movie, though.

The Descent – Watched for the third or fourth time. Still one of my most favorite recent horror movies.

Urgh! I want to see it so bad! A few of my friends have seen it and say it's absolutely magnificent, but none of the theaters around here are playing it! I can't understand how they haven't gotten it yet, especially after it's Best Picture nod.

I was impressed, actually, by Stallone's directing. He certainly does have an acute eye for action detail and a quick pace. I've heard rumors of a future film on Edgar Allan Poe's life, written and directed by him, and I'm very exscited to see where this goes.

It was like a bad Wes Anderson dream...... The first half was so grateing, I ended up having to poor a drink to get through it. Why put in so much shit indy folk music? At the end there was about 5 songs crammed into 5 minutes, I thought that Juno the character was a joke as well, a 16 yr old girl in the year 2007 with the pop culture knowledge of a 16 yr old in 1997......

Well it seemed as though they were more intent on playing a heap of shit music through out it rather than trying to make a good film.....

Maybe if I hadn't seen ten movies already that covered the same ground it wouldn't have been so bad, but the format that the movie followed, for example the seasons the animated writing, it was all to familiar and unoriganal.

There Will Be Blood.

So many people recommended me to watch it, and boy...am I glad I listened!

Daniel Day Lewis is perfectly cast in his role, and he brings so many emotions together in his character throughout the movie, which shows his amazing and phenomenal talent (seriously, if you have any doubt...watch this or My Left Foot or even Gangs of New York). I dare say only Marlon Brando in The Godfather is just an edge better than Daniel in There Will Be Blood.

**MINOR SPOILER**

Just watch the emotions fly across Daniel's face when he screams "I told you I would eat you!"

****

This is a SUPERB little effort by Paul T Anderson. His Boogie Nights and Magnolia were gems in their own right, and with There Will Be Blood, he has achieved a new high. This man's good...really REALLY good. If it doesnt win an Academy Award, there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with the Academy Awards panel. Too bad it didnt get a wider release.

Anyone who is a lover of serious, gritty and realistic cinema should see this. I am buying the DVD when it comes out. Recommended to Rod, Alky, Newb, Jenna, Despare, Zwoti and anyone else who fits the bill said above.

There Will Be Blood.


PT Anderson is one of my all-time favorite directors. I definitely want to see this one, though the boyfriend isn't sold on it yet.

Anyone need a date?

...

Just saw Cloverfield today.

And.

Wow.

Well.

Yeah.

I'm not sure if I can give an accurate review on it as I was pretty much ENRAGED ALL DAY, but it was pretty damn good. My only issue was that I guess with the gritty nature of the handheld cam, I wanted a little more than just PG-13... I think I wanted something that could have gotten it an R-rating. Oh, and there was definitely some cheese factor to it. And the end dragged on a bit too long, but yet, the movie as a whole, very short.

BUT

I recommend. I give it... B+. I just wanted... More... Umph.

Makes me want to see 28 Weeks later and Mulberry Street over again.

...

Last night... I watched Sunshine.

Certainly not a perfect movie in any way, shape, or form, but it envoked quite a long discussion between the boyfriend and I which was interesting and inciteful... And even though Sunshine was not perfect, I have to give credit to something that will provide me a soapbox upon which to RANT afterwards.

Highlights of the film: Boyle is a goddamn good director.

Pitfalls: Completely and utterly emulates any space movie that has come out and gotten exposure, EVER: 2001, 2010, Alien, Event Horizon, and even Armageddon. I felt as though Boyle was more concerned with mimesis than creating anything new... Which was confusing since he seems to have budget and some legitimate talent.

I'd have a difficult time rating this movie as a lot of it is so incredibly atmospherically beautiful... But some of the dialogue is so incredibly abhorrent... I don't know... Worth seeing... But don't expect to like it.

Actually yes, we picked it up cheap recently, and watched it.....and I am still unsure how I feel about it. I plan to watch it again sometime soon. I do have to say though, I wasn't exactly as shocked by the ending as it was implied I would be. Its definitely interesting, and thought provoking, I will give it that.

Anyway, watched....

Wrong Turn 2: not exactly a masterpiece or anything remotely resembling one....:rolleyes: but I did have fun for the most part. A lot gorier than I was expecting, actually.

Shooter ~ some of it, I really liked....some of it, not so much. Worth a watch for sure.

Knocked Up ~ actually, I liked this much more than I expected to. Some of the humor fell flat for me, but what I found funny, I found hilarious. Glad I finally watched it.

I found it hilarious, I'm just still wondering if that was intentional or not. :p Very short, and when it ended it took me a bit by surprise, so I'm with you. Don't really know what to think about it.
