Hilarious! Way better than The Simpsons or South Park movies.

Enjoyed Death Proof a lot more this time round. I think I prefer the theatrical cut over the extended version because it flows a lot better. The dialoge of the second half was always way to tedious for me so I dug a few scenes being trimmed.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I just got back from seeing the movie and it was alright for a night out. I haven't seen an Indy flick in so damn long. I grew up with them just like all of you but I haven't actually sat and watched one in about six years so I went in not that pumped up about it and to me it was just another action adventure flick. It didn't feel like Indy to me. I dunno if it's because I didn't go in excited or I haven't watched them in awhile or it just wasn't that great.

[_____V_____]

We had a marathon of Batman movies because my wife insisted on seeing em. Considering it was my 4th-5th watch of all movies, here we go...


Batman.

THE best and solid movie adaptation yet. Jack is PERFECT as The Joker, and commands the movie from start to finish. Keaton is almost as good as Bruce, but he is so totally out-classed and out-leagued. Basinger is pure eye-candy, and the rest of the cast (Michael Gough, Billy Dee Williams and Jack Palance) are competent. Burton's second finest on-screen effort, after Edward Scissorhands, IMO.

Rating - * * * *


Batman Returns.

Excellent sequel to an awesome original. I REALLY liked how Pfeiffer performs so smoothly through all the scenes she is in, and Keaton and De Vito basically revolve around her. That being said, De Vito looks more comical than villainous as The Penguin, (I thought Burgess Meredith looked more scary in Batman: The Movie 30 years back) but full marks to him for trying. Christopher Walken is AWESOME. Max Shreck was such a deep, shady character that you cannot stop loving him in a hateful way.

Rating - * * * ½


Batman Forever.

A largely under-performing effort. Not mindblowing by any means, and on a much lesser pedestal than the previous two...it had a basic flaw. The characterisation. This movie is a perfect example of how flawed characterisation cant save big and talented names from scoring with their performances.

In Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey, one had THE perfect duo of evil EVER. Carrey's comical timing and annoying overacting was more than sufficient for The Riddler, but Jones looked totally out of place. Same goes for Val Kilmer. The dude never looked more DEAD and ill at ease in any other movie than here. Kidman had nothing to do except look glamourous, one thing which she always manages to pull off effortlessly. Saving graces - Robin's origin, and Chris O'Donnell's immature standoffishness in his performance, coupled with some more than decent moments at gags and CGI efforts.


Rating - * * ½


Batman and Robin.

First big question - Schwarzenegger as Dr Freeze?! I mean, WTF was Schumacher and his casting team thinking? Dr Freeze was a scientist, not Hercules. Schwarzenegger was so TOTALLY out of place in his character. Second big question - What was the script writer smoking when he wrote the script?! That has to be the biggest mess in the history of comic-movies. Add to it George Clooney as Bruce was NOWHERE. Ab-so-lute-ly NOWHERE. (At least Val had some sort of decency in his outing as Bruce in the earlier movie)

And add to it all, as if we didnt have enough annoying immaturity in Chris O'Donnell, Alicia Silverstone gets thrown into the mix with her silly bratish-ness. The only saving grace of the entire movie - Uma Thurman's competent take on Poison Ivy. And I still mean "competent take".

Cant believe both of the above largely disappointing efforts were made by the same man who gave us the brilliant The Lost Boys. I really hope you grew up after these pathetic jabs at cinema and comic fans, Mr Schumacher.

The Shining.

been mantioned so much around here lately - it made me want to see it again.
(it's been many years since the last time)

still holds up as well as if it was made yesterday.

took me a couple of times to get through it though ..because i was so bloody tired by the time i was able to get to watch a movie

[nightmare_of _death]

Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull

[crabapple]

Superman: The Movie ...which I think still holds up very nicely. Haven't seen it in years, either, and it's nice to revisit.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull...just got back from that. I wasn't expecting it to be very good, so I got what I could out of it. Not a very good movie. It had a few moments of fun. And actually, it is inspiring to see Harrison Ford and Karen Allen in an action flick, considering that neither of them were exactly spring chickens when the FIRST movie was made.

Indiana Jones in the world of digital compositing and CG...well, that last movie (the third) featured some cutting-edge morphing/digital stuff, but it was only dipping its toes in the water. Interesting, at least, to now see Indiana Jones' look adapted to a much-developed medium.

[The_Return]

Just a question about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...didn't really seem to warrant a new thread, so I'm posting it here.

Lets say I've only seen Raiders of the Lost Ark - will I still be able to enjoy this one? Like, does it stand up on its own or would I have had to see the whole series to really get it?

My girlfriend wants to go, so I'll probably be seeing it tomorrow night...but she really wants to see Iron Man too, so I'm trying to sway her in that direction - I'd LOVE to watch that one again on the big screen. I do kind of want to see Crystal Skull, but I'd rather get caught up on the series first...even if it does stand on my own, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had seen the rest of 'em.

Superbad

I showed my brother the Red Band trailer for Pineapple Express and he laughed his ass off and said, "Do we have Superbad?" and I said, "No, why? Haven't seen it yet?" and he was like, "Nope." So imediately I say Let's go to Blockbuster and buy it. So I call Blockbuster and they said they had 3 for $20 DVDs so I bought Superbad, Bourne Ultimatum, and The Mist so we came home and watched Superbad because he never saw it and we just laughed our asses off like normal. The things and themes in this movie I can relate to very much. This is how my friends and I talked in public and high school and it just made both of us love it that much more.

8.5/10

The Mist

I saw this in the movie theatre and it hit me hard. Very well made and it was just that suspenseful and crazy. My brother never saw it so we watched this again and my brother loved it. He has a son so the ending was hard for him. But this flick if you have never seen it is very well made, very well acted, and is very sad and hard hitting.

Wes Anderson in India. That's basicly what it was. I'd like to see him make a movie with an entire new cast, see what he comes up with.

Indiana Jones: KOTCS
As good as I expected and hoped it to be. A bit cheesy at parts but hey...its and Indiana Jones flick. Don't much care for Shia Labeouf but I managed to get past his presence. I would probably rank it 3rd out of the four, Temple of Doom IMO being the worst.

The couple both get stabbed to death, and its so stupid because by the end, you actually want these guys to live. They weren't ignorant and the choices for survival that they made were intelligent for the most part. Two kids walk in the house later and the last reel is the woman waking up screaming, and you don't know whether she lived or died. The thing that makes me mad about it is the fact that the killers stalk them playfully yet violently ALL fuckin night and then in the end they just tie them up and stab them. It's like... They were terrifying and played cat and mouse really well, then they turned around and stabbed them while they couldn't defend themselves. The killers lost the fight in my mind because they put on such a great and theatrical show, only to blow it themselves in the end.

[ManchestrMorgue]

Had a quiet night at work last night so got to watch a few films:

House of 1000 Corpses

I have seen it once before. An OK film as an homage to American horrors of the 70's. Not one of my favourites but I enjoyed it more the second time around.

Island of Death

Not as shocking as I was hoping. But a reasonable study of a couple who set out to rid an isolated island of depravity, but being just as depraved as the inhabitants they wish to destroy.

Night of the Demon (1980)

The one about a bigfoot creature (not the earlier classic B&W film). Quite gory, but looks pretty fake. Personally, I found it a bit tedious.

Automaton Transfusion

This one was disappointing, but I guess I was expecting something closer to Evil. The ending was horrible, the acting was bad, and the story seemed like a script that a decent writer tossed out. There were some great gore scenes though and that alone made it bearable until the end.

It was my second time viewing, but the first time I was bushed and didn't make it till the end. Overall, I liked it. I thought was very well made, the special effects were great all things considered. It was on IFC, and I was wondering, how are the extras on the Criterion release?

[ManchestrMorgue]

Dead End Drive-In

Low budget Australian film from the 80's, set in the (then) not-too-distant future. The protagonist and his girlfriend visit the drive-ins one night, and their wheels are stolen by the police. This effectively traps them in the drive-in (because the fences are electrified and the only road out is forbidden for pedestrian traffic). They find that there is a society of people living "trapped" in the drive-in.

Not the greatest film, but at least it was original.

pretty good. check them out: http://criterion.com/asp/release.asp?id=134
the version in which william s. borroughs narrates the entire film is pretty cool, except they didn't clean up that version, so it doesn't look very good.

haha, awesome. i hope i haven't disappointed you thus far.

Urban Legends: Bloody Mary...

OH MY GOD. How did this get made? Predictable (and I don't mean you can guess one or two things minutes before they happen, I mean... you can guess the ENTIRE film within the first five minutes...) and unoriginal (how many bloody mary films have there been???) This adds nothing to the table except for the stuck-in-the-70's Gracie, some Pam Grier references, and a likable title theme. Horrible mess.

I have watched this one atleast a half dozen times since it's release on DVD and it just keeps getting better and better each view. I have been showing it to my friends and family who haven't seen it. Last night I showed my brother Dennis and he was loving every minute of it. If you haven't seen it yet please check it out....It is such a fun over the top mindless action flick that you will not regret watching it.

8/10

[_____V_____]

A Few Good Men.


There's nothing like getting goosebumps and feeling blown away by the commanding screen presence of a powerful actor. That too when giving a movie at least the 9th or 10th viewing.

Nicholson as Jessup is like a huge cannon with his towering presence from start to finish, especially in the power-punch filled climactic courtroom sequence. So good is he, that poor Tom Cruise is reduced to a second-lead even after giving such a good performance (for a change).

The rest of the cast - Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland - round up superbly, and J.T.Walsh as Markinson is THE MOST powerful underlying character in the history of cinema (and scripts), IMO.

A must-watch for anyone who hasn't seen this yet. If you weren't impressed by this movie, you need to see a shrink asap.

la passion de jeanne d'arc (the passion of joan of arc) (1928)

one of the greatest performances in film, ever.
every frame is a work of art.

[alkytrio666]

The Strangers (2008)

The first half is tense and taught; it toys with the audience and gives them only enough well-calculated chills to generally startle. It's unfortunate that the last twenty minutes undo such hard work, causing the film to sink lower and lower into the depths of horror movie cliche. The final scene is embarrasingly contrived. Liv Tyler is magnetic, the real scares are icy, but ultimately this is forgettable.

I loved the book and had great memories of the movie. However, ten years have not been kind to the movie. On my second viewing, I got so bored I went to the refrigerator. (NOTE- when I write that I went to the refrigerator in my pseudo reviews, it's bad.) I'm going through all of PRESTON and CHILD'S books and I thought it would be cool to watch their one movie adaption. Wrong. They changed so many things from the book that I became resentful and bored. It was ALIEN meets JURASSIC PARK. This is an example of why I often really don't like to watch a movie more than once. I like to keep the original impression in my mind. Often , repeat viewings ruin my pleasant memories. Anyone else have an opinion on this movie or book?

i read the book more than a year after the first time i saw the movie ( in the theater) and kept askign myself, "Why did they change this?" thew movie was a passable "trapped with a monster" movie, but the book was just great. They completely changed most of the characters, and the plot to the point that the movie bears little resemblance to the book. And they dropped the best character (the fbi agent who's name escapes me)

Anyway, It was a great fun ride indeed. It's all tremendously gruesome scenes made it a lovable flick like Ichi the killer or even Battle Royale...specially in case of gore fest. I think it has all potentiality to be a great new contender besides Inside for a list like "all time goriest films ever made".

Mother of Tears

Wow! What a completely looney film. The gore is over-the-top, the boobs bounce, witches cackle and shriek, the story makes little sense, yet somehow I LOVED it. I can't call it a great film, but it certainly is destined to be a cult classic. The only thing I hated was the Daria Nicolodi stuff, but you can't have a movie about the Third Mother without her, she's the one who told Dario the old witch stories in the first place.

Everytime I think about the film, I giggle. It feels more like Demons than Suspiria, so if you like your horror bloody and crazy and topless, you'll dig this one.

Get Shorty pt. 2?

I thought it was a pretty decent watch, if you get past the first 30-odd minutes. Not great by any means, but a good timepass movie.


i liked The Rock a lot in this one .. the guy sure is a good sport.

there was a little too much self referencing ... and at times the humor was pushed (and the aerosmith concert didnt ring true) but i enjoyed it more than not.

Totally agree.

Seemed like the characters were a little "too" full of themselves and there was more hamming than humoring throughout the movie, which wasnt exactly my cup of tea.

I don't see why so many people liked this... Didn't care for it at all.

we loved it because it was so very gay. mostly naked men, sweaty, growling...



Or maybe its because the action was satisfying, it was visually impressive, lots of blood, and an all-around interesting take on a true event.

I loved it. I walked out of the theater wanting to punch someone. I got a little worked up (not in a gay way, either)
