Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[Phalanx]

Just done with RZ's Halloween.
While I didn't find it "all that bad", and actually liked the idea of some kind of opening sequence set prior to the rest of the film (although felt it to be a little dragged out)...just didn't find the film all that great overall - the rest of it was just typical crap teen slasher, lacking any real suspense.

And Tyler Mane? modern Michael or out of place?

[jaybomb]

watched the heartbreak kid (2007) with ben stiller, tries to hard or the jokes have gotten old, worth a watch for a couple of good laughs


also watched we own the night, liked the movie alot... father and son are policeman, other son is on the otherside of the law...worth a watch

[Roderick Usher]

Duck You Sucker aka A Fistful of Dynamite

Rod Steiger and James Coburn are both great in this classic from spaghetti western master Sergio Leone. The town of "Mesa Verde" couldn't look less Mexican, but the acting and directing are great and the story (complete with a quote from Chairman Mao at the top of the film) is subversive, leftist and really fun, if maybe a bit too long. Not on the same level as Once Upon a Time in the West and the Man With no Name trilogy, but still better than most westerns.

7/10

[Kane_Hodder]

A History of Violence.
A very good Cronenberg film.

[Posher778]

Borderland- 7/10

The talk around here is absolutely right... This movie is very good. Excellent acting, story, gore, thrills... This one's got the whole package. I do, however, feel like this was more a crime/thriller than horror... It's kind of in that genre in between... Either way it's excellent, and definitely worth a rent.

[AUSTIN316426808]

Videodrome

[The Mad Monk]

Dr. Phibes Rises Again

It's from 1972, but apparently anything after the 60's is "modern" horror!

American History X 9/10

this movie was really good. it kind of freaked me out because i understood edward norton's characters rants, like where he was coming from. i kind of agreed it was so persuasive. besides that, this movies was really good (repetitive, i know). the ending completely blew me away...no pun intended.

[GorePhobia]

The Bank Job

This was a fun bank heist flick. British humor always makes me chuckle and others I know look at me like I am crazy but I guess because I actually get it and they don't. The flick was very well acted and it was pretty suspenseful even though you wouldn't really think so. Just needed a bit more action in it because the action didn't really pick up until the final 15-20 minutes of the film. I guess that has to do with it being based on a true story/events.

8/10

Clerks II

I have seen this movie time and time again. I saw it in the theatres when it was first released about three to four times and then a handful of times on DVD since then and it still makes me laugh extremely hard. I think it was very well done by Kevin Smith and the way he wrote it made it come back full circle nicely.

9/10

[Geddy]

Rebel Without A Cause.

[Roderick Usher]

Away From Her

A touching and impressive directorial debut from Sarah Polley. Probably not for most people here as it is an adult drama/romance dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia, but the story, acting and directing are top-notch. I have always been in love with Julie Christie and this one really brings it home for me. I cried.

8/10

Very. I'm a Clooney fan myself, but I also put off seeing it for the same reason. Didn't really look like something I'd be into. Eventually, I just watched it and thought it was really good.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

It's basically one of the only three good George Clooney movies. It's really good, you should watch it for sure.

[alkytrio666]

Eastern Promises (2007)

It's pretty good, but it's a small, small movie. Cronenberg needs to take a few more steps with his directing if he's going to take on projects like these and make them something truly memorable.

i have to admit (and i could only admit it HERE without being crucified) that it was the only movie of his i didnt like.
there were some good moments (the quieter ones) that i liked - but otherwise - i was extremely disappointed.

He should never have brought back Jay and Silent Bob - it seemed desperate - a way to try to recoup the losses of JErsey Girl (which is actually a great film)

[urgeok2]

last seen : Triangle.

a Bryan Singer made for TV sci-fi miniseries concerning the Bermuda Triangle
Uneven and dragged out in places but not bad.
half the actors look like clones of better actors ... but they do ok.
Lou Diamond Phillips is actually really good in this.

watched half of it last night - the rest goes tonight.

[urgeok2]

I seriously think Zombie is one of the worst horror directors out there.



i dunno about that.. I dont like a lot of what he does - the long dirty stringy hair look is practically a theme in his films .. but i do find him a compatent - even excellent director when it comes to recreating the feel of past genre films.

nothing else has ever captured the feel of hoopers mayhem in Texas Chainsaw Massacre as zombies house of 1000 corpses. that film impressed the hell out of me.

i think he's going to do good work once he finds his groove and branches out into more origional territory.

he had a lot of balls remaking halloween.. i didnt care for it much - but technically it wasnt badly made.

i'm very interested to see what he does next.

I thought Rob took the sensibilities from the first Halloween and kind of combined it all with his white trash character cache while changing it just enough to piss off purists. It wasn't the best horror remake I've seen but at least he made it his own and didn't worry about holding back which could have led to a shot by shot remake with no personality.

I can understand why people liked it, but I hate everything he's done so far... I just do.

[Despare]

He definitely has a style that could alienate a lot of viewers but I think in fifteen years he'll be regarded as one of the top genre directors of this period. We'll see what he does next though, I'm still waiting on The Haunted World of El Superbeast...

Never Back Down

I have never seen so many damn cliches rolled up into one movie. This was basically a movie made from parts of like eight other films and TV shows. If you were to mix: Fight Club, 2 Fast 2 Furious, UFC (Ultimate Championship Fighting), The OC, Varsity Blues, American Pie, Back to the Future, Rocky, and Troque into a blender you would get this cliche filled horrid of a movie. I wasn't bored or anything and it didn't seem to drag on but it was so cheesily over the top and predictible that I had to laugh hysterically.

Another Day In Paradise.

Killer flick probaly the best thing Larry Clark has ever done. James Woods is a great actor... good to see him in a decent film.

Interesting animation, of course...but the movie IMO wasn't all that great.
Nice music and action scenes - the rest just felt a bit empty.

Also - Has anyone seen "Lars & the real girl"?

Another Day In Paradise.

watched that one not long ago.

the only problem with a Larry Clark film is that you feel like a pedo-voyeur at times - the way he runs the camera on the bodies.
i never get the vibe that it's artistic - or done to purposefully make you feel uncomfortable - i get the feeling that he's just indulging himself.

otherwise - i did enjoy woods in this one as well.

30D.O.N stuck pretty closely to the original storyline, with a few differences cast within the vampire community/structure.
The ending was much the same, one of the definitive scenes in the original comic.

There's also a "prequel" movie available on dvd called "30d.o.n: blood trails" if anyone's interested, doesn't look half bad.

I feel like a bad fan for not catching this one in the theater, but I just bought it (autographed by Thomas Jane) and wathced it in b/w before seeing the original theatrical version. I loved it. The b/w presentation was stunning. The story is great and the ending was wonderful. A real horror flick that horrifies. The kids loved it, the wife loved it. A great old-tyme creature-feature! Good job, Darabont!

Taste the Blood of Dracula

[crabapple]

H. G. Lewis' A Taste of Blood from 1967...

A slow, ultra-cheap vampire movie. It's kinda fun! Almost two hours long, very talky, and not as gory as Lewis's big gore films like Blood Feast or 2000 Maniacs, but it has some interesting stuff going on.

[Phalanx]

AVP: REQUIEM.
Well, the first 20-25 minutes of it before I turned it off.
What a BORING, NOTmosphere of a film...didn't even watch long enough to figure out if it was better'n the first one or not, don't really care to either.

i think the problem was the cast.

the story and effects were ok ... i wasnt expecting much in the first place ... but i found the cast - every on of them - to be impossibly unengaging - i couldnt care less if any of them lived or died.

i did like the approach the film took this time where no one was buddies with anyone else this time. a far more brutal film than the 1st.

My feelings exactly.

The characterisation in the scripts was the biggest drawback of the movie...otherwise it was really engaging from after the first 25-30 mins till the end.

It was a notch above AvP thats for sure. They need a good script writer for the third one, if they ever make it.

I wonder if Sean is available...

The Ruins

I was too tired to drop this review in last night. I thought it was going to be another lame "kids get in over thier head in a foreign country" movie. It certainly fits that description, but little about this film is lame or even typical.

There is a raw, unflinching air about it that is really effective and creepy. Best theatrical horror so far this year (not much of a compliment, I know) and absolutely worth seeing in the theaters because...

- it's not a remake!
- it's from a scary book and is pretty damned faithful
- self-surgery
- a fresh environment... Mayan ruins are awesome and it's about time they figure in a horror flick
- Jenna Malone, she's always great!

not brilliant, but fun and creepy and dark.
7.5/10

Death Sentence

the ending was worth the wait. raw, cold-blooded, enrelenting.
thats what a revenge movie should be like. the hero gets mad, goes nuts, and fucks up everybody and a furious look on his face.

wasnt as cool as Wake Of Death, which is hard to top, but it was pretty good.

[crabapple]

Re: H.G. Lewis' A Taste of Blood from 1967

i couldnt watch it. ive had several attempts, but its SO SLOW!

Oh yeah. This is a slow movie, it is really for people who like looking at 60's furniture and cars, and movies that are mostly filmed in one house that is made to look like several houses. This one's not for everyone--it's not even for most people who like Lewis' gore movies!

[Posher778]

Michael Clayton- 7/10

It was good. It was surely the weakest of the best picture nominees but I really liked it. It dragged slightly at times but it was pretty compelling, and an overall nice thriller, with a cool ending. I'll be buying it.

[urgeok2]

My Stepmother is an Alien


hadnt seen it since it first came out ... a bit sloppy (typical richard benjamin direction) but some good laughs.

[The Mothman]

[The Mothman]

The Hunting Party

a light-hearted look into the grim reality that is american corruption and war.

[Despare]

By the way, as far as The Thirst goes, it was alright until about an hour in when you could see a giant clear tube taped to the actors back and then could easily watch it fill with blood and squirt onto the actress. Sloppy, and really took me out of it. I don't mind seeing a little mistake here and there but this was baaaaaaaad.

If you've ever seen a Nathan Schiff film you can catch plenty of stuff like that. there is a scene in one of his movies where a tube is clearly, clearly visible. i mean out in the open, and squiting fake blood from some dude.
but hey, they are just backyard films, so it only adds to the fun of it.

Sometimes I agree, it does make it fun, but with the direction of the movie and the potential it had I think it was simply lazy editing/special effects. I still liked the movie, TONS of gore and some nice music too, but it could have been better I think.

[The Mad Monk]

The Watcher In The Woods, which was on television this afternoon.

It's a family-viewing PG type of film (from Disney - ! - 1980), but this film really creeped me out when I first saw it when I was a little kid, and from searching the Internet it seems that other people had a similar experience!

It was fun to see it again after all this time - of course, it's not scary anymore, the effects are dated, but some of the imagery has stuck in my mind and still comes across a little creepy. If any of you have seen it, you will probably remember the blindfolded girl in the mirror...

This was my second viewing after the theater, and umm...I am kinda on Urge's lines regarding the ending. It was...a killer, to say the least. I kinda felt more impact now, then from watching it at the theater. The emotions it leaves you with at the end...oh jesus...

Quite possibly, one of THE most HARD HITTING endings I have EVER seen in any movie. Period.

I might never be able to see this one again either. Even if I do, I might stop playing it after ***SPOILER ALERT*** they hit the road from Thomas Jane's home.

Truly unbelievable movie, awesome characters, dynamite script and neat direction with mind-boggling effects. If the acting wasn't a little over-the-top and bland at times throughout, this is one movie which DEMANDS a perfect 10 rating.

Yet another great addition to the genre. It has totally believable and sympathetic characters, an excellent script complimented by some kickass direction...perfectly casted actors who give it their best, and the main highlight - great CGI effects. It is claustrophobic...it is intense...it is deeply atmospheric...and it has shocking twists loaded in the last 30-mins or so.

WAY better than I expected...Many of you probably won't like it (cuz there are so many picky people here :p), but it was different, funny, and had plenty of really good gore...It was a little slow at first, not too bad though, moved really well for about the entire last half hour...Honestly, I just really liked this movie and Dustin did, too.

[Sick_As_Fuck]

^ I really liked Monster Man. Still haven't seen part 2, though, and I believe there's even a part 3 no?

The Woods - Not a terrible plot but very poorly executed. Could be decent in the hands of the right person.

The Mist - Haven't read the book but I loved this. Far better than I expected. Now I need to hit up Barnes And Noble.

[Rayne]

^ I really liked Monster Man. Still haven't seen part 2, though, and I believe there's even a part 3 no?


I honestly didn't know there was more than one, so I looked it up on IMDB.

The one we just watched is the 2003 Monster Man...IMDB lists a Monster Man that was made in 2001, but it's completely different (the 2001 has aliens). After reading about the 2001, I think I'll check that one out, too...Tom Savini had a hand in it, so I figure it's worth giving a chance. Thanks for the heads up.

The description of the one we watched made it look like it would be kinda corny, with monster trucks and rednecks...But, it really wasn't like that...Well, not the way I pictured it...I think anyone who likes gore and 'creepiness' should check it out.

IMDB doesn't list a part two for it, but I'll be checking other sources...I mean it's 2003, so I suppose it's possible :)

And yes, you HAVE to read The Mist...I read it a long time ago, and the movie is an excellent adaptation...Well...Until the very end, anyway. Excellent story.
