Event Horizon

MoonLit Meadow 07-14-2005 10:02 AM

SSSSHHHH! Everyone hush about Million Dollar Baby...I think I'm watching it tonight for the first time. I'm afraid to look at this thread anymore...spoilers could show up at any time ;)

"Striking Distance" - Very underrated. Nothing mind blasting, but a solid action thriller none the less.

And the great support cast is what really lifts it. Tom Sizemore in great form, nice turns from Tom Atkins, Brion James and John Mahony and some excellent barnstorming by the GREAT Dennis Farina.

The_Return 07-14-2005 11:21 AM

Maniac- No, not the 80's slasher...a very, very bizare little film from the mid-30's. Elements of Frankenstien and The Black Cat, combined with some clips from some "classic" silent movies made this a very odd film. Not very good acting, info describing different types of phycosis inbetween scenes....Im really not sure what to think about this movie.

It is.


THE RETURN:
Ahhhhhhh.....1934's "Maniac"!!!
A complete blueprint for the Exploitation avalanche that would start to roll big time in the late 60's!

Nudity, poor abused animals, violence, psychotic scientists, feline eyeball munching, battling clothes ripping women, fantastically mad dialogue, snarling homicidal loons who think they're Orang-utan's…and tips for successful cat fur farming!

Utter madness on celluloid!

Did you like it? I think I'm going to see it a second time...as kooky as Tom Cruise is, I thought it was still a damn good movie. :)

yes and no... yeah as I've always been a fan of tripod style aliens... H.G Wells, a British series years ago called The Tripods and Half-Life 2 had them, and speilberg did a pretty good job with bringing them 'to life'

and no, because of the usual case of lacking any decent story line, that goes somewhere.

Man

Yeah, everyone I know who saw Fantastic Four told me it was hideous...I kind of figured it would be from the reviews, but since you can never REALLY trust those, I made my friends check it out first...saved me some money ;)

newb 07-14-2005 07:41 PM

Watched a really bad DTV movie...Jolly Roger. About a pirate come back from the dead looking for his gold.Other than a couple of nice boob shots,a total waste.

bwind22 07-14-2005 09:41 PM

Shallow Ground

Low budget, straight to video I picked up on a whim. I was actually pleasently surprised. Pretty good acting (considering budget), original story and decent gore make this one worth renting. B

Damn, I was actually kind of looking forward to seeing Michael Chikilis in this. Oh well, kind of figured it would suck. *Sighs*

Watching Halloween now.

I mean, I love Jessica Alba, for the obvious reasons, but fuck.

It wasn't *that* hard to sit through. It had me laughing my ass off at how lame it was at times. I'm not being sarcastic, it really did.

Am I the only one who has to fight off laughter over how bad stuff is when out at a theater? Especially the trailers.. some of em are just terrible..

slasherman 07-15-2005 12:47 AM

"Once upon a time in America" Sergio ......powerfull and very long....it also had commentary by a film critic

Ocean's 11 [2001 version]


Ive never seen the original, but I enjoyed this quite a bit.

alkytrio666 07-15-2005 10:02 AM

Just watched 28 Days Later for the first time...anyone care to explain this one to me? I know there's gotta be some kind of hidden message/ symbolism in this. Or at least I hope so, 'cause I hated the ending.

Oh dear...that hysterically funny American view of the IRA as a group of deep individuals who contemplate life while sitting in firelit cottages listening to 'Clannad'!!! Ho ho!

Drive-In fave and one time Video Nasty..."Axe". Pretty damn good.

ItsAlive75 07-15-2005 12:22 PM

The Jacket... wasn't as confusing as all the reviews said.

charlie and the chocolate factory. i enjoyed it. am really glad those oompas loompas weren't as freaky looking as the originals.

The_Return 07-15-2005 06:01 PM

House by the Cemetery


Wow. That about sums it up....or not.

I love a movie that'll leave you thinking about it after it's over....this certainly accomplished that. Great gore, and th story is like a crossbreed of at least 3 different films...The Shining most prominently. And how bout that ending! Now to get myself a copy of The Beyond:)

alkytrio666 07-15-2005 07:46 PM

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005).

For the first time ever I started to find Johnny Depp getting annoying near the end of the film.

It was ok, not as good as the original.

2.5/5

Better than outstaying it's welcome.
It does what it needs to do in the time.
