Equilibrium


FINALLY got around to seeing this after seeing rave reviews of it on here. At first, I didnt think I was going to like it, seemed to out-there for me. But once I got my head wrapped around it, and came up with some excuse/explanation for all the continuity mistakes, it was a damn good show. Bale was great as always, of course, and Taye Diggs actually showed he has talent [All Id seen him in before was House on Haunted Hill].


Overall-

Great movie with awesome performances from almost all involved, but alot of continuity errors that drag it down.

7.5/10

Meh, it was OK. Nowhere near as good as the 1st one, unfortunatly. Still not a bad show though....dont think Id be able to pick a favourite.

zomb5150 09-25-2005 05:55 PM

I just watched Lamberto Bavas' "Demons 2", I thought it was better than the first one.

Nope, different Charlie. It's about the life and crimes of Sixties-era British gangster Charlie Richardson. Sort of like Scarface, in a way.

ah-thx noc.


I was going to put the movie Prozac Nation,but it was BROKEN in 2 when I recieved it from netflix.

noctuary 09-25-2005 09:28 PM

Blah. That happened to me when I tried to rent Bio-Zombie. I sent it back for a replacement, and they sent me the same broken disc. Lame!

Anyway, if it makes you feel any better, Prozac Nation wasn't that good, in my opinion. The book is though, if you can handle the constant exhibitionism.

The Ring 1. When I first saw it, I got really freaked out when the girl came out of the TV. Now, I can watch it alone.

The new version of "Assault on Precinct 13"
Now, I can't rate it compared to the original Carpenter film...which I still intend to see, I can only assume it wasn't quite as good.
However, I thought this one was quite ok...clearly it copped a lot of shit on account of being a remake of sorts, but yeah, I had no huge problem with it.
The violence was pretty graphic in parts, in fact, I was wondering how they managed to keep an MA15+ rating on it here, there were some really bloody scenes (the icicle, the knife under the chin...etc) I thought the first scene was great, very chaotic and cool...The characters...eh, who cares...nothing special in an action film, although I do hate that stupid looking Ja Rule fucker...as predicted, his acting wasn't much better than his music. There were some great action sequences, some good music, and the camerawork worked well for the intensity of certain scenes.
All in all, It was ok...I watched it, but I wouldnt run out and buy it or anything.

I was just such a huge fan of Carpenters Assault, and the remake was just so different, so I didn't really compare them, i was a little bit dissapointed, but the remake was a decent movie. I saw the preview for dead and breakfast, can't really find a showing anywhere. Anyone else know if its any good?

Saw
I may have already wrote a little recap for this movie after I saw it in the theatre, but I don't recall so I'm writing another one. Saw is quite possibly the movie that had the most potential, yet failed to deliver. The plot was okay, but somewhat confusing and non-sensical. The gore isn't all that abundant. The twist at the end is absoutely fucking retarded and the acting of the blond guy is just a shade above horrible. When the trailers were running for this movie, I honestly thought it had a shot at making it into my top 10, but after seeing it, it'd be lucky to make my top 200. C-

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Well, Dennis Hopper does a good job and the gore is decent, but it went far more comedic than the original and I dont think it paid off well. Aside from Hopper, the acting is mid-grade at best and the plot itself is pretty lame. C

Kung Fu Hustle
Very stylish and quite a bit better than I was expecting. It bills itself as 'Kill Bill meets Looney Toons' so I was expecting something along the lines of Kung-Pow, but this was done MUCH better than that. Now I need to check out Shaolin Soccer. B+

Marroe 09-27-2005 06:56 PM

I just finished Crash. Very well done, I can't say it's the most pleasant movie, but it's very good...makes you think a lot. It hit me so much my heart is still fluttering around (as corny as that sounds), and it shows Americas issues at their finest...so for what it is, I say 10/10

The last movie I watched was Talk to Her. Excellent film, quite possibly Almodovar's best.

Blair Witch Project 2

I had been putting off watching this one because I really didnt like the first one very much at all. I was pleasently surprised by this though (Probably due to such low expectations.) Not a whole lot of gore, but the acting was decent and the story/plot was far better than I was expecting. I am hesitant to say that it was a good horror film, but I will say I liked it better than the first. (I liked the originality & had a lot of respect for what they did with their limited budget on the first one, but the movie itself kinda sucked.) C

Wow. This is a movie that needs to be seen more than once. The 1st time I saw it I was a bit disapointed, but I guess thats cause I was watching it with friends and couldnt really take it seriously. Definatly a great, classic, scary movie.

Swimming Pool
Could have been a really really good physcological thriller,if it had a better writer,a better director,a better script,a better editor.
The actors did the best they could..poor Charlotte Rampling,this woman is one of the BEST actresses in the world and they murdered her performance.

Lonely are the Brave
just got done watching it, not sure what I think about it. Damn good movie, though.
