Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[nightmare_of _death]

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

[Geddy]

I Am Legend (2007).

[Dante'sInferno]

Captivity.

[The_Return]

Captivity.

Worth watching?

[Despare]

Ed Wood

I LOVED it, I guess it's time to say I really like Burton, especially because I can't name a movie of his I don't like off the top of my head.

[Dante'sInferno]

Worth watching?I would say pass.It would only be worth watching once anyway.It felt to predictable.

[urgeok2]

The Happiest Millionaire

old disney film .. long as hell. weird and meandering - but i kind of liked it.

[alkytrio666]

Robocop (1987)

I had never seen this before. Good fun.

[fortunato]

Ooooh, what did you think?

That movie baffled me...I loved it, but hardly understood a second of it. Really cool movie, IMO.

yeah, i love it. it's probably my third time watching it.
i have to say, the movie requires at least three or four viewings before things start clicking.

-------------------------------------------

carnival of souls (1962)

love it.

[Phalanx]

Bee movie.
The animations/characters themselves were fairly basic, but I really LOVED the way they incorporated 3d elements into them and the backgrounds.
Storyline was "ok", elements felt very borrowed from (was it ants or a bugs life where the ant fella realised there was "more to life"...etc?) <<that, but other than it was not bad, thankfully Chris Rock is only in the thing for a total of about a minute, and yes, it got a few genuine chuckles. (I'm sure the wasp joke was intentional)
Look, it was ok - Probably "quite ok" if you are into these kinds of movies.
I'd give it a 6.5/10 myself...I rated the first shrek and toy story films at about 8, if that tells you a bit about my system.
I feel inclined to tell those that appreciate animation and nice 3d rendering/effects to head along, the rest, wait for video...not really anything new here.

The Hitcher II I've been waiting (2003)

>>: C-

[_____V_____]

[REC].


The trailers merely gave a glimpse of what the package was about. And man...does the package ROCK or what!

One of the most tremendous and hard-hitting movies of the Y2K era of horror, with very neat scripting and cool, totally realistic characters (excellent casting)...and awesome direction. This is totally, utterly kickass...from start to finish.

Comes with a HUGE recommendation from me to all my friends here.

Street Kings 7/10


This was really good.If you like cops and gangbanger with plenty of bullets and twist then you have to check this out.

[GorePhobia]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

This movie was super funny. I enjoyed it very much. The cast worked very well together and none of the jokes very forced or even written which is always a great thing. Jason Segel went all out with some of the comedy which I give him BIG props for. Another great Apatow Production.

8/10

The Lookout

I have been holding off watching this since I bought it because I am a slacker and boy do I regret waiting. This movie is awesome and I can't believe it got snubbed at the Oscars last year. This film in my honest opinion should have gotten nominated for something. Acting was phenomenal all around and the movie was just intense and awesome.

9/10

[Geddy]

Interview With The Vampire.

[urgeok2]

Dark Heaven.

bargain bin ambitious but waaaaaay inferior attempt at a Jacob's Ladder.

it tried hard but it just didn't have the groceries.


i knoew it was in trouble early on when they had a shot of a supposedly deserted street on a deserted earth - while way off in the distance you could clearly see people and cars passing by.

(the budget only lasted 87 - 8 blocks i guess.

[novakru]

The Seeker......good movie!
You MUST see this.
Kid movie? Yes
But very well worth the watch:)

Cloverfield.....wasn't sure if I was going to like it.....but I did....very realistic....well....as realistic as an underwater monster invading NY could be.

Charlie Wilsons War----Tom Hanks was solid as usual but Philip Seymore Hoffman stole the movie....he turned what could have been a boring political movie into a fun watch.

5ive Girls, Dead Birds, and Blood Trails - All blah.

Haven't seen the other two, but I thought Dead Birds was a great little movie. It's a slow burn - the pacing is pretty dead - but IMO it was a really cool take on an old concept, and well worth wading through the slow parts.

Plus, that ghost kid was scary as fuck!

I just watched The Hole (http://imdb.com/title/tt0242527/), which was ok. Tortured, belabored, and a little longer than I would have preferred. Then again, I'm not really one that's into mystery/thriller/horror films. Just give me the blood, guts, and disturbance and get over it.

And Thora Birch really bugs me.

Most of the free stuff on Comcast on demand is there because it's cheap junk nobody wants to watch. I have found a few gems there, though. Unlike Return I enjoyed Blood Trails. Not innovative or anything, but I thought it was suspenseful- there was plenty of blood- and the pacing was fast. It's good for one watch, IMO.

I agree with you about fearnet. I find it infinitely frustrating that there is nothing but crap to offer, especially since I was so excited when I heard that there was an On Demand horror channel... O, how I was deceived...

Interesting that you brought up Blood Trails... I actually started to watch it because it was the only fearnet movie that was appealing (and I had recently taken advantage of Evil Dead II and was in the mood for watching something new tonight).

I honestly didn't get that far into it. I thought that the movie started out really well, found it building creepy suspense (when she wanders into the cave on her bike, I was reminded of how I felt the first time I saw The Descent - claustrophobic, chilled, helpless), but as soon as the Big Bad enters (though it was a ridiculously wonderful and bloody entrance, which was pleasing), I felt as though it would turn into a just plain Stalker/Slasher film and, I don't know, I just didn't feel like watching a two-dimensional character ("She belongs to me") hunting down another two-dimensional character (she bothered me as a character so I didn't mind the prospect of seeing her go). I don't have a problem with derivative films, as long as their well-done... But I didn't feel as though this one was particularly well done.

And I don't get it - Why would a policeman stop her in the first place?

Then again, I am feverish with very little attention span, so that could have a lot to do with it.

...

What I did manage to get through was Jacob's Ladder (http://imdb.com/title/tt0099871/). I had never seen this movie and had borrowed it some time ago from a coworker. Looking for something to watch, I decided that I might as well pop this one in so that I could finally return it...

and... wow.

Great psychological thriller (though I HATE the term "psychological thriller")... Sufficiently and effectively creepy, builds suspense, character, and pathos, not to mention you actually feel his alienation and confusion, which takes a lot of talent from a directorial and acting standpoint.

I was impressed and will have to own it one day. A/A+

[neverending]

I THINK the cop stopped her at the beginning because she wasn't supposed to be riding her bike through the tube tunnels.

[ChronoGrl]

Ahhhhh, that makes sense.

See? It doesn't even bear on the movie itself, but it was enough to distract me. :(

Don't get me wrong, Dead Birds was okay, and I might even half-recommend Blood Trails, but I just wasn't motivated enough to write anything detailed about them. On the other hand, 5ive Girls was awful.

[alkytrio666]

Oh, yeah, it's a blast! Cagney really shined in that role- definately deserved his Oscar.

Enchanted. I was really surprised, I liked it, and not a little. Having a 2 year old girl has made me very familiar with the disney princess movies. This had a nice self-aware tongue in cheek feel that made even the musical numbers tolerable.

Patrick Dempsy was agreat straight man. And I could not get past the irony of the sweet innocent princess being played by the slut from Drop Dead Gorgeous. :D

[urgeok2]

Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium.


hmmm ... uneven at best.
Mostly a pretty bland film with a few flashes of well written poignant dialogue shining through - but those moments were too few and far between to save this film.

it tried to be a far more important film than it was and failed.

the focus was all over the place - whenever there was something important to be explored - it would shoot off on another direction.

a better filmmaker/writer could have turned this into far more than a Charlie and the chocolate factory wannabe.

was put off by the music and the opening title sequence as well.

[The Mothman]

Kevin Spacey plays a very likeable asshole.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Pretty solid comedy.

Took the recent bad taste of Death At A Funeral and Meet The Spartans from my mouth. There were moments of eye-rolling, but overall I liked it.

Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis were hott eye-candy, and the scripting and the pace of the movie was great. Pretty decent direction too.

Overall, a good watch.

"Vera Cruz" (1954)
-Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster

After the American Civil War, mercenaries travel to Mexico to fight in their revolution for money. The former soldier and gentleman Benjamin Trane meets the gunman and killer Joe Erin and his men, and together they are hired by the Emperor Maximillian and the Marquis Henri de Labordere to escort the Countess Marie Duvarre to the harbor of Vera Cruz. Ben and Erin find that the stagecoach is transporting US$ 3,000,000.00 in gold hidden below the seat and they scheme to steal it. Along their journey, betrayals and incidents happen changing their initial intentions.

Great movie for western fans. Fast paced action, terrific acting and a good plot make this one enjoyable film. I loved it.

fun movie - i suspect this was where Green Acres drew their inspiration from.
(city folk trying their hand at being country folk)

my favorite scene : the community dance where the wife was forced to dance with every inbred hillbilly at the shindig - a dance scene straight out of the addams family.


Pa Kettle is one of my favorite cinematic figures.

I would strongly disagree with that. He's still directing more good films than anybody else in America. The Departed, Bringing Out the Dead, Shine A Light, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, and No Direction Home all add up to a pretty impressive couple of years...especially for a 65 year old who's been making good movies for forty years.

He literally hasn't had a critically bad movie since the turn of the millenium- all certified fresh on rottentomatoes.com. It would be a challenge to name any other director who can even get two in a row.

Mystic River to Letters from Iwo Jima, gives you four in a row. Three were nominated for best picture, one won, and two picked up multiple acting awards. And I definitely agree that Scorsese's doing well.

3 off that list of scorcese films starred DiCaprio, and they were all excellent. And the aviator was amazing, Kate Blanchette was Katherine Hepburn. All around great movie with a great cast.

Otherwise, it was a great ending. I'm a bit conflicted.

Comments?

I agree. The ending was so silly. I wanted crazy chick #11 to make it to the end. I honestly thought that the end was serendipitous and contrived...

Watch the last couple movies I've seen. Inside and Ketchum's The Girl Next Door (don't make a mistake and pick up the teen comedy instead). I didn't really like the story to The Girl Next Door but it was based on a true story supposedly so who knows if it could have been better. I wouldn't watch it again but you may like it. One thing it does, in a couple of parts actually, is instill a feeling of helplessness which is a pretty effective tool for a thriller.


Inside was another story, I liked that one from beginning to end and forgave the little hiccups it had in parts because the whole was so good. Both may be a little much for some viewers.

Henry fucking Rollins. That's all.

[The_Return]

Gone Baby Gone

Ben Affleck really needs to stay on that side of the camera. I dont really despise him as an actor, but this directorial effort is better than anything I've seen him do on screen.

One of the best movies of last year, IMO - how did it only get one Oscar nod?

suckered in by the cast, plot summary, and 3$ price tag ..i got taken.
dumb predictable movie with the most hamfisted use of music i've ever seen.

re-edit the film, use a decent score and change the ending an there might have been something there.

Apocalypto (2006)

[Phalanx]

Taken from the other thread...Diary of the dead...

from most of what I hear, it's a lot better/preferred than LOTD was.
I don't know about a LOT better, but I found the atmosphere much more the style I prefer...the camera viewpoints didn't bother me at all, and I actually thought how the footage was put together was pretty cool.
Gory, suspenseful, and yeah, overall a bit more enjoyable than Land, IMO.
Very different type of film.

I'll say, it's almost up there with 28DL/Shaun right now for "modern" z-films.

I think that this was the film/quality that Romero fans would've ideally wanted for "Land", definately had more of Romeros trademark eerie.


**Slight spoiler below***




















I liked that not too much of that "zombie memory" stuff comes up, just a couple of throw-ins there, which was good - I don't feel as though an established continuity should be ditched because of fan dissaproval (not that I did personally), I'm glad he stuck to his guns there.

[jenna26]

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer ~ damn did this movie disturb me. Glad I finally watched it, but doubt I will be watching it again. Did I mention that this movie really disturbed me? :o

Blood and Chocolate ~ forgettable.

At Midnight I'll Take You Soul ~ liked it a lot, now I need to get around to seeing the other Coffin Joe movies.

[SamCostello]

The Beguiled, a weird 1971 movie with Clint Eastwood as a Union soldier during the Civil War being holed up in a Southern girl’s school. Sex and tension follow. Almost really good, but not quite.

[The_Return]

Watched more of Holy Mountain last night...you know, I'm really not digging this movie at all. I'm all for surrealism and shit, but this is almost too much, even for me.

I'll probably sit through the rest of it at some point though, just because I did pay for it...

[_____V_____]

Cloverfield.


Tell you what, the more I see this...the more I am impressed as shit. If it wasn't for the bad characterisation (and a gawky second half script), this would get a higher rating.

Doesn't beat watching it in the theater. They have done quite an amazing job with the camera though.

Still, for the experience and what it's worth...

Fulci's Conquest.


Plenty of gore in this fantasy tale, but the script and direction is a big disappointment. So is some of the FX of the day, (it looks cheesily and ridiculously cheap) but still...Fulci does a decent job keeping it all together. The characterisation is not much to write home about, and there's not much going in the action either. Not to mention the horrid music which makes things only worse.

Overall, a disappointment from the Fulci home of movie-making.

The Iron Rose

A French "horror" film that really puts style over substance. Beautiful film but I wouldn't be able to defend it if somebody were to say it was "boring". It did have some wonderfully constructed suspense though, and that was effective enough to keep me watching all the way through.

[The Mothman]

An Inconvienent Truth.

had to watch it for class. watched only half, the other half i spent with my hat over my eyes and fingers in my ears, because i know deep down inside, nothing is going to change. nobody's going to fix this, however from now on i commit my self to never owning a car, and only using public transportation. might as well try and make a difference while i can.
this is the scariest movie out there.

I couldn't survive without a car... even with gas being $4.00 a gallon. It was a decent film but as with anything made by a human being some of the facts are skewed because of the bias of the creator. Also, (and PLEASE don't get in a political debate here, I could care less about politics right now), I was shocked to see how environmentally friendly Bush's ranch was. VERY surprising, wish we all had the money to do that.

Sick Nurses

I really didn't like this one in the beginning but I trudged through the first half only to be surprisingly pleased with the second part. There are some effective scenes and while some of the effects are good some are just plain laughable. The CGI too, is abominable, maybe some of the worst I've seen. Sci Fi does better CGI work. Despite all that and the crazy ass plot I had fun with it, some parts even reminded me of Evil Dead. Anyway, this isn't for everybody, but it is the only movie in recent memory that had me asking myself: "Did that girl just choke on a fetus?"

I AM LEGEND...it actually had a bit of a "zombie-like" element to it, I didn't see that coming. Having not read the book I didn't know what to expect, but it was entertaining enough. Will Smith does well to protray loneliness (and how it leads to varying degrees of madness), which is the overriding emotion of the film - along with a good helping of despair. The only other film I have seen better illustrate loneliness is Taxi Driver.

Have you seen The Last Man on Earth (the writer of I Am Legend helped with the script for this film that starred Vincent Price) or Omega Man? I don't think I've really disliked any of the movies based on the novel, which means I suppose I should give it a read.
