I saw Oldboy.
Interesting, although I'm sure they could've thought of a better motivation for the imprisonment...If it were MY film, I'd make the lead character a former rapist or legbreaker that had been hypnotised to the point of not even recognising himself, and having THAT be the big ol' revealation with some kind of sleeper trigger at the end. But hey...as far as oldboy goes...it was all ok.
The plot WAS a little convoluted, they could've went into the background of the girl a little more without revealing "the thing", not to mention, the protagonist, and the friend...there was too minimal a background of any kind of all of these characters.
WEIRD movie.
Very nicely stylised, great score...I DO feel it was a little overrated though. Definately worth seeing at least once.
6/10

Leprechaun 4 - Leprechaun In Space - Oh man, this one was the worst in the series thus far. Terrible acting and plot. Average gore. The continuity from Lep3 to Lep 4 is non-existent. All in all, just not a good movie. D

Leprechaun 5 Leprechaun In the Hood - Alright, they started heading back in the right direction with this one and going for a more comedic than scary movie. (Not that the series has ever really accomplished either that well.) The gore was decent, the acting was okay, but I have serious doubts about any movie that Ice T's the most accomplished actor in. (Aside from Warwick Davis of course.) Anyways I'd say this one's better than Lep 4, but worse than 1,2 & 3. And when Leprechaun raps at the end, you'd be better off just turning off your television. D+


Cry_Wolf I didn't have very high hopes for this PG-13 rated horror film but the theater I was at wasnt showing Venom so Cry_Wolf it was... The acting is okay, the gore is mostly off-screen, but there is a lot of deaths. The plot is pretty ridiculous and there is waaaay too much of Bon Jovi. Other than that, it was an average horror movie which amounts to a pleasent surprise when you go to PG-13 not expecting much. C+

Tombstone

I just watched Uptown Girls with my little brother (I think he has a thing for Dakota Fanning). Cute movie actually, crappy music, but it was really cute.

This is what any remake should be. Honor the original, while still making another great movie. The acting wasnt great, but it could have been worse. LOVED the twist on the ending, very nice. Overall, kickass movie that I will watch often.

Just watched Lucio Fulcis' "House of clocks"
In my opinion it was pretty good but I'm a big Fulci fan.:)

noctuary 09-21-2005 07:23 AM

Aftermath/Genesis. Aftermath wasn't nearly as gruesome as I expected. All in all, I was much more impressed with Genesis.

Dark Water...Not TOO bad, I guess...A bit slow...But, a LOT like The Ring

War Of The Worlds...This wasn't what I thought it was gonna be...I'm not sure why, but for some reason, I thought it was a movie about the REAL events that followed Orson Welles's broadcast of the War Of The Worlds radio program (the reading of HG Welles's story), that caused people to commit suicide and kill their families because they believed that it was really happening...I STILL would like to see a movie based on THAT...I honestly had no idea that it was just a remake of the original movie...Perhaps it was just wishful thinking, or maybe I'm just a tard:rolleyes:

It's not a bad way to waste an hour or so...But, it's nothing special...Of course, I would never try to discourage anyone from seeing ANY movie, cuz we all have different likes and dislikes...And I certainly don't have any 'wish I hadn't watched it' feelings...

Jurassic Park - Director's Cut
Some added scenes and a bit of re-cutting. This one seems a bit disjointed.

"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"

One of the greatest movies ever, IMO.
