Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[Roderick Usher]

serious, do they hand out oscars for over-acting?

Fire in the Sky (1993)

This film is a reverse sandwich. Both ends are loaded with meat- both the first encounter and the startling conclusion are masterfully executed. The middle of the sandwich, though, is sluggish and dry, and we nearly give up on the thing before we're full. It sounded a lot better than it turned out to be.

best thing in it was without a doubt the spaceship scenes. After that it was pretty much downhill.

I found it pretty good, not the best, but definatly worth a rental. Its the strange fairytale type story that you would expect to come from Neil Gaiman. 6/10

So far Gaimans novels hasn't worked out well as movies. I don't understand why that is.

John Tucker Must Die- 6/10

Still a guilty pleasure.

[jenna26]

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.


Hmmmm....not sure, honestly....I did find quite a bit of it funny myself. So let's just go with yes, it was intentional....;)

Pretty good remake. It had a good amount of gore. Some of the acting was good at spots and other spots were bad. Overall and average remake.

6/10


Actually, compared to the original i thought this remake was pretty great.

The original, on the other hand, feels very non-horrific, almost comical in some scenes and very outdated.

Don't excuse your rating. I think my rating was pretty much the same. Didn't like the original tho.

I think it works out better in novels because of the fact that in your mind your seeing what you think it should look like, and not every director is going to have the same vision as you. I especially love the sandman graphic novels though. I hope they make the first one into a movie and then thats it, the first one was freaking awesome. Hmmm maybe the one with the dreamland too though. That one was great. As long as they stick to the graphic novels and not what a director thinks it should look like, unless Gaiman directs it.

Have you seen Startdust yet? I'm about to watch it. I"m still holding out for Gaiman movies because I love his novels and comics.

btw, I don't know why you were quoted, I think I hit quote instead of quickreply lol sorry. But if I want people to actully respond I might just quote them for no reason and say what I want to, it seems to work out that way. Lol

Michael Clayton.

Great movie. Its stuff like this which makes me wonder if George Clooney will ever realise what potential he has.

It maintains awesome atmospheric suspense throughout the movie, with plot twists and turns which make for compelling viewing. The direction is taut, and the characterisation is perfect. John Grisham didnt write this...but if he watches it once, he would wish he did.

This comes highly recommended from me to Rod, Alky, Des, Newb, Jenna, Return, Fortunato and all lovers of fast, suspenseful cinema.

12 Monkeys (1995)

A brilliant, harrowing, devastating tour-de-force of enormous magnitude and ferocious vision. Every meticulous detail is exquisitly calculated, every angle perfected, every space explored. This is Terry Gilliam's ultimate masterpiece, and a fierce additon to the archives of American cinema.

I loved it.

I saw it when it first came out, really enjoyed it. I feel it is Clooney's best performance, and I love watching tight, well-made thrillers like this.

Glad you liked it!

[Psycom5k]

Stardust - Not my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. Yet again its apparent that this is a Neil Gaiman movie. I especially loved Robert De Niro's performance, though I did find it kinda strange that he didn't change his voice for the movie, infact he sounded normal, and everybody else was british. Oh yeah... not to mention he's a gay lightning collecting sky captain, and yes I'm serious. All in all 8/10 .

Actually i've got movie, but i've only managed to get through half of it. Not my cup of tea either. Well, neither was the book actually.

Although there was 1 sentence in Stardust (the book) that i found very poetic and very Gaimanish. Let me see if i can find it.....


Right, here it is.


" A fieldmouse found a fallen hazelnut and began to bite into the hard shell of the nut with its sharp, ever-growing front teeth, not because it was hungry, but because it was a prince under an enchantment who could not regain his outer form until he chewed the Nut of Wisdom. But its excitement made it careless, and only the shadow that blotted out the moonlight warned it of the descent of a huge grey owl, who caught the mouse in its sharp talons and rose again into the night.
The mouse dropped the nut, which fell into the brook and was carried away, to be swallowed by a salmon. The owl swal*lowed the mouse in just a couple of gulps, leaving just its tail trailing from her mouth, like a length of bootlace. Something snuffled and grunted as it pushed through the thicket—a badger, thought the owl (herself under a curse, and only able to resume her rightful shape if she consumed a mouse who had eaten the Nut of Wisdom), or perhaps a small bear."

Yes, I am looking forward to this one. :)

Unrest ~ actually this had potential, and it was actually fairly well made in some ways. Unfortunately though, it is so dreadfully dull, and the writing isn't terribly smart. Also the characters were not only mostly boring, but at times pretty moronic in their actions.


Headhunter ~ Probably has one of the most unintentionally funny conversations I have heard in a film in awhile. But its also pretty dull for the most part and takes itself a bit too seriously. The quality of some of it was better than expected though. Which might not be saying much. ;)

Anyhoo...The Squid and the Whale.


edit: I was just on the imdb boards and couldn't help but notice all the people who were whining about the characters not being "likeable" which is why they didn't like the film. This is precisely why I liked it. Because they aren't likeable, because the parents are so self absorbed they don't see just how they're affecting their kids. It's a very real movie, that portrays people in an accurate light, and I found myself really identifying with the kids (especially the older son), being the product of a very ugly divorce as well.

I know, I love Gaiman for things like these. I have to admit that some of this stuff isn't my kind of thing, but I just can't help but like it, if not love it.

Edit: oh yeah, just watched Fight Club for about the 50th time. I still love the movie. I think I may reread the book again.

Liked it a lot, felt let down by the ending though...

[BloodRedFlower]

I saw Cloverfield yesterday, nice!! If you don't get motion sickness easily, then my advise is to watch it on theaters. The movie really gets you inside the story, I was like "run you idiots, RUN!" all the time hehehe, pretty cool.

I thought the characters were equally annoying to the ones in The Blair Witch Project, but at least this movie had a decent budget behind it and didn't seem to drag as much. But all their repeated yelling and bad dialogue went on my nerves.


Would like to see a version without the handheld camera. Like "The host".

[BloodRedFlower]

I think the dialogs weren't bad, considering the situation... and the yelling and screaming is understandable. Just imagine what you would do in their place. :)

I must really not be a sucker for epic romances set in dramatic backdrops (The English Patient, for instance, bored me to tears). Found this overhyped, but good nonetheless. Joe Wright definitely deserved an Oscar nod for his direction, and James McAvoy was great.

Yet neither were recognized for their brilliance. It really is a pity. And I would have chosen Keira Knightley's performance (who is not nominated) over the little girl's (who is) any day of the week.

You might be in luck. For the makers have decided to do a sequel to Cloverfield, touting the first movie's monster as "just a baby...a newborn."

I thought the acting was fantastic...it was a pretty complex film so it was great to have talented young actors actually "get it" right.
I think this was the directors first film and I have to say he started out with a winner.
It's about a suicide after life basically...it's really really good I enjoyed it AND the kick ass cameo by Will Arnet.

[_____V_____]

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.

Michael Clayton (2007)
This was my second time, and I enjoyed as much, if not better. It's the kind of movie that really needs to be seen twice, as there is so much precision and detail that it's hard to absorb it in one sitting. Good...but not as good as the three heading Best Picture flicks.

The Savages (2007)
An extremely natural comedy. No laugh is forced, no idea outrageous.

The Shining

[Roderick Usher]

Black Belly of the Tarantula

Giancarlo Gianini plays a troubled detective in this classy and slick, but ultimately not very thrilling giallo. En excellently groozy Morricone soundtrack adds tons of sexy atmosphere, but does nothing to ramp up the tension. Above par acting and directing make this one a stylish entry into the genre.

6.5/10

The Legend of Hell House

I really want to remake this one. Although it adheres rather closely to the book, it fails to be scary. Once again, good acting, cool set design, interesting story, but it fails to bring the scares. Matheson's novel is a scary read - after the recent success of I Am Legend, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one get the big budget treatment as well.

Haunts ~ one of the films on the 50 Chilling Classics we bought awhile back. The quality isn't great, of course, the acting was passable at times, but pretty bad overall. Some of it was just unintentionally funny. And there was way too much going on. All that being said, there were flashes of a decent movie at times. The story really had potential, and was quite intriguing at times.

Beowulf.


For the most part its entertainment galore, but overdose of CGI can be annoying. The casting is spot-on and the direction is really commendable. Ray Winstone and Crispin Glover are the two standout performers. I had a fun time watching Grendel and Beowulf slug it out, and then Angelina Jolie in all her exoticness (even in CGI) dominate the latter part of the movie.

Its a fun movie. If you want entertainment and tons of it, give it a shot.

He made an action flick with guns and stunts (including sliding down a wire and slamming into a moving bus) for $4000.

That's what made him an instant star because he showed amazing ingenuity and visual flair on a budget of nothing. No one makes an action film for $4000 quite literally 1/100 of what would be considered a "low budget film."

The story was weak, I give it huge props because the imagery and themes are like a tex-mex filtered spaghetti western and the story is the first film in the Trilogy that continues with Desperado & Once Upon a Time in Mexico which were made with Millions of dollars.

I understand not thinking it was awesome, because it ain't, but it is an important film.


I just watched
Black Book

Paul Verhoeven's Dutch language WWII themed flick is a gem. And excellently complicated tale with relentless action, tension, tragedy, sex and actual (and unexpected) romance.

If you can deal with the subtitles, and can read fast, because its in spanish and they speak fast, then I'd say go for REC, there was this one part, that I was expecting something to happen, and my eyes are glued to the screen, gripping my seat waiting for it, and then it happens, and even though i was expecting it, i jumped outa my seat. It was great. OH yeah btw, if you bitched about Cloverfield because of the POV then don't watch this, its just as bad.

Oh yeah, I just re-watched Return of the Living Dead for the first time in a few years. God I can't believe how lame they look now compared to back then. Back then they looked cool. Both the zombies and the people.

Not great, but still an enjoyable and really dark tale. The CG work was weak, but the concept totally worked for me.

She starts of feminine then becomes macho and finally ends up like a man in drag.

Jeepers Creepers & Jeepers Creepers 2
I like the first film quite a bit. The creeper is never over-exposed (always in shadows), and for a majority of the film you don't really get to see much of him (a far-away shot, a shot of a certain body part, etc...) which adds to the fear the Creeper emits. What you imagine in your mind is always more frightening that what you see on film. Director's need to learn this. There are also a handful of good suspenseful scenes. I thought the introductory scenes were very well done, as were the scenes in which the police are trailing them, and the scene in which they visit the cat lady.

In the 2nd film, and in the ending of the first, they try and make the Creeper technical. An artist, if you will... he listens to records, he fashions weapons complete with engravings and high-detail... etc. This just took me out of it. If he gets 23 days to eat every 23 years, I wouldn't spend a good 15 of those days carving beautifully constructed daggers out of bone. I would much prefer very crude weapons, or none at all.

The 2nd has some equally great scenes (mainly... the creeper attacking them whilst in the bus, at night) However... the 2nd film's negatives far outweigh it's positives...

The biggest thing which ruined the film for me, is that the director felt the need to visualize his fantasies. This was done in the first film, just a tad. You had the camera glorifying Darry's body quite a bit, and you had the brother and sister pee scene.

The second one ramps it up. Three cheerleaders (what a team...) and a bus full of shirtless, sweaty, muscular jocks. Singing a song with the lyric "COCK." Then you have them sunbathing on the top of the bus, and two full-on scenes of group piss parties. One scene which depicts a player fully uncloth, piss on another's shoes, while talking about homosexuality. You also have a deleted scene in which one player speaks about "jacking."

It's all done very blatantly... And if you aren't aware, the director is a convicted pedophile. My guess is he prefers males over females, and has a watersports fetish.

Not only does the above ruin the film... but you have a fucking idiotic character (Scottie) who I disliked so much that I refuse to watch any other film that he acts in (I just can't look at him without wanting to punch the screen.) He whines, he's racist, he's homophobic, and he's MR. I run the show. He's just idiotic and I hate him. Plus he looks like a knob.

The film is also packed with too much Izzy or Isn't He, and Token White Boy speeches. WE GET THE POINT.

Plus the whole action aspect of it kinda... well, yeah...

Don't bother with the 2nd.

Bordello of Blood

Anybody know if Ritual is on par with this one and Demon Knight?

[alkytrio666]

The General (1926)
Keaton's best picture. Hilarious in every which way, and absolutely one of the greatest of all American comedies.

The Lost Weekend (1945)
Terrifying. Wilder's visual portrayel of heavy alcoholism is so starkly believable and disturbingly effective it's unbelievable.

Yep, and yep. Truly one of the greatest of all time.

Spiral

Adam Green does a 180 degree turn from the hack n slash fun of Hatchet in this tight and rather gripping psychological thriller. The acting is great (especially from Chuck's Zachary Levi) the jazz score is cool and the story is engaging. The reviews are calling it Hitchcockian, but it's really closer to the work of Lucky McKee/Angela Bettis - it's almost like Roman. I really liked it, but some hated it.

8/10

[joshaube]

I'm dying to see Spiral, like I've mentioned before.

This upcoming Friday... taking a little road-trip with a few friends. Two hours away to a town with a theatre that actually has taste. There Will Be Blood. I can't wait.

[massacre man]

I don't think I'm going to be able to take Spiral seriously, I watched the trailer and the only thing that kept echoing in my head was "Sit... on... my... face!"

[fortunato]

finally saw gone baby gone.

The Thin Red Line. I'm not that into war movies but it was amazing.
Cry Baby. Much like Rocky Horror Picture Show, so bad it's good.
Friday the 13th 1-3 as part of a 3 day marathon on tv last night.

Just finished Amelie... a favourite.

The Ringer - 9/10

just because it was freaking hilarious! me and some friends were watching it and we were laughing the whole time. most of it wasn't even about the movie.

After twenty-five viewings it never loses any of its chills or exhileration.

Ganja & Hess – Gave up after about 20 minutes of watching and 20 minutes of fast forwarding. Most boring vampire movie ever.

The Godfather
The Godfather part II ~ finally, after all this time, I have seen it. And I loved it even more than the first. Excellent.

Across the Universe

What a glorious train-wreck of a motion picture. The camera, choreography and lighting are second to none. Every image, every detail is sumptuous.

Too bad everything else is completely hollow. The story is laughably stupid. There is no character growth or even an enjoyable story arc. The central conceit of the film as pantomime of Beatles songs fails inherently because it's the songs you know by heart all sung and performed by people you couldn't care less about.

I can't say I hate it, because it was sooooo visually striking and at points it almost feels like a parody of a Broadway musical, so I'm torn about a proper rating. But I can say unequivocally that is you want a modern, trippy reinvention of the Beatles catalog, go see Cirque Du Soleil's LOVE, it's fantastic and trippy and authentically beautiful in a way that Across the Universe cannot be.

6/10

The Truman Show.
Watching Michael Clayton tonight... heard very good things about this one... but... watched the trailer and I have to say, very underwhelmed. I'm hoping the strong words were right.

I'm still dying to see it. I'll probably go rent it tonight.

Posted twice... Sorry!

[novadawn969]

The Invasion.

Not bad. I'm not going to do a huge review.

Kind of a repeat, but unique enough that I liked it.
The end was way too slow for the majority of the movie.
Instead of an unwind, it was more of a plunge.


7/10





Across the Universe

And as a huge Beatles fan, I liked Across the Universe's new sound on an old take, but missed the authentic music.
I had a Beatles binge afterwards.
Good thing I have a bunch of The Beatles vinyl. :p
If not for the story line, which I agree was laughable at most parts, then the cinematography and the like was extraordinary.
The part on the Detroit Riots did really touch me though.
That black boy in Let It Be has an amazing voice!
And the Harmony in Sun King (Because) was amazing.

I say 8/10

[Geddy]

Saw 4.
The Fog with commentary.

[Psycom5k]

Just watched my first snuff film, it was titled Passion of the Christ. Now I can see why people were all "praise Jesus!" and whatnot after the film, but to me.... it was just torture porn, I see no point in this movie. All it does is make jews look like assholes. 5/10.

[GorePhobia]

Rush Hour Two

[Cinestro]

Awakening (Zombie Night 2) - very few highlights, but they looked like they had fun making it.

Severance - I dare say brilliance. The Brits are back!

[alkytrio666]

Near Dark (1987)

This movie is really freaking cool! I had never seen it before; I'd rank it up among the great vampire movies.

[fortunato]

dawn of the dead (1978).

obviously, there's nothing to say about this one.
