I think the film you're referring to was released under the title "dark angel" here, it was about an alien? Had some little flying razorsharp crazy disk thingy? That was pretty cool...

My favourite would be Universal Soldier also...

Whaddaya mean "3"??? Are you telling me you didn't LOOOOVE The masters of the Universe?
:p Actually, despite it's stupidness, I liked it a lot when I was a kid, and hold nothing against it now...it's not "good" but it didn't completely suck.

He was in anotherone I saw a while back, which had good action scenes if only that, it was called "Joshua Tree", aka army of one....

that movie showed that a talented actor could still be excellent under tons of makeup (Frank Langella)

He was suprisingly good considering how easily it would have been to sleepwalk through the roll

The Punisher again...

"Joshua Tree"? Can´t remember that one? But Segal is in it i see... George Segal, that is. LMAO :p

Langella? Was he playing Skelleton?

Orca, the killer whale. It seemed so much cooler when i was young.

Oliver & Company:Typical 80´s animated Disney movie, blended with early CGI effects.
Imagine Charles Dickens Oliver Twist with a modern NYC twist, where cats and dogs are the stars!
Robert Loggia is starring as the villain Sykes, and other voice cast stars includes Billy Joel, Bette Midler, Joey Lawrence, and much more...

I don´t wanna... :(

Forgot to mention, Returner had FUCKING COOL music too...

yeah .. that one makes me want to swallow my tongue ...

don bluth and dom delouise .. i cant take those 2 when they work together (or Don Bluth period)

skeletor ... yep

Granted...it was a week ago.....
and Granted it wasnt a horror flick....
and Granted I'm a noob.....

...but have I mentioned that I'm pissed of at "Troy" for sucking more than a movie should be allowed?

Was it that bad? I heard it was good.

Seven Doors of Death...Getting ready to watch The Forgotten in a bit.

it looked so bad in the ads that i didnt bother

I wasn´t so excited about "The forgotten". Reminded me of Shyamalan, with the far out ending. And i thought his las movie "the village" SUUUUUUCKED!!!!!:mad:


Of horror movies from 2004 i recommend:

1. Gothika (The best supernatural horror movie of the year)

2. Godsend (The second best....)

3. Dawn of the dead (best zombie movie ever)

4. Saw (Just plain exciting)

5. Ju-on; the grudge 2 (Japanese)

6. The grudge (Havn´t seen it yet, but i´m sure that i will like it.):)

Thats all folks!!!

The end

I'm one of the few people that enjoyed Gothika also...cannot see why so many people rip on this movie, not that I much care.

I haven't seen Godsend, but it looked ok...

The new dawn of the dead was ok, although I preferred the original...they're totally different from eachother though, the new one was more a reinvention than remake if you ask me.

Saw was good, yeah...although I'm not inclined to run out and buy the dvd straight away.

Ju-on; the grudge 2 (Japanese) - Haven't yet seen either of the japanese grudge films, although if the ring was anything to go by, the japanese version was infinitely better and explained the story a lot more clearly, shall hope the same is the case with
ju-on ...I didn't really like the US version of the grudge much...I mean, it was ok, but didn't really stand out in any way.

The grudge - If you're referring to the US version, see above. If you're referring to the Jap version, I've not seen it, but would reccomend it over the US version on faith alone.

- B.

I was talking about the American version.

But if you didn´t like that version, then you shouldn´t bother to go look for the japanese. I´m pretty sure it´s much the same thing, because it´s the same director.
It´s a haunted house......... That´s it.
Now, I loved that theme. But what i really loved about the 4 japanese movies was the director Shimizu´s creepy imagnination. From the first low-budget movie it´s easy to tell that Shimizu knows how to scare. Not many directors does that.
;)

If you're into japanese weirdness/horror, you GOTTA check out Uzumaki.

I liked Uzumaki, but im much more into scary, creepy japanese movies, than japanese weird movies. But i thought it was well made. Just didn´t get what had happened to the girl in the end. That annoyed me.

Godfather II, one of the best sequels or what?

Hey! I like Gothika and Godsend too!

Really? Then we should get married. ;)


About Godfather 2 being one of the best sequals. Couln´t agree more. Nr 3 sucks badly though...

:cool:

I agree with Cheeba with some things. I KINDA liked Gothika wasn't all that great but it wasn't that bad.

Same with Godsend, I didn't see it but it did look ok.

DOTD it was good but like Cheeba said, it was more like a reinvention. I mean the running zombies seem more of a threat, but slower zombies just seem to make better movies I think.

I'll just say exactly what Cheeba said. "Saw was good, yeah...although I'm not inclined to run out and buy the dvd straight away."

I haven't seen the others yet but I heard Gurdge wasn't that good, I still wanna see it though.

I´m definitely gonna see it when it comes up in the cinemas next month. Yeeeeeeee!!! :D

"Gothika" STANK. The end is a comnplete con and makes no sense at all. NO WAY it would work out like that for her.

Not at all.
It's a far cry indeed from the stunning first 2 (which i see as one film anyway) but that is mostly down to Sofia's awful turn, the lack of Robert Duvall and the less than thriling Vatican plot (though it does show up the Catholic Church and it's cronies for what hey are, which is nice).

But for fans of the "Godfather" story there is much here of interest.
Not least of which are the nods to the other films (GREAT to have Michael's old bodyguard appear again), the on going journey of Connie and the heart breaking finale for Michael.
The very last sequence is pure magic for fans of the series and is a really emotional end to it all.
Highly flawed, not great as film on it's own...but there is still much to enjoy here.

whats Nr anyway?

i thought Gothika just reeked of unorigionality.
The typical plot twist again .. take the most unlikely person ...
thats the bad guy. As if ......
The ghost enlisting someone to find her killer ...done to death (pardon the pun)

It had the same appeal as breakfast at Dennys.

Yeah, I'd like to see a movie where the ending isn't what everbody wants. I want a bad ending. Kudos to Saw for having that a little bit. Also agree with Urgeok about the most unlikely person thing. They should take the person that evrybody thinks did it....and actually HAVE him/her be the bad guy.

Chronicles of Riddick.

Godfather 3 is not a bad movie...it just had to live up to perhaps two of the best movies ever made. When taken on its own, Gf3 is actually pretty engrossing .

Yeah strange that she suddenly got away with murder....but i didnt think the film as a hole was sooooo bad...think i was expecting a lot worse.....
anyway....

"Satan Rir Media" A Norwegian documentary about people burning churches...if somebody remembers "Greven"(Varg Vikernes) better known as Burzum...a satanist who kills a band member from Mayem....

"Club Dread" a horror parody....most a slasher parody....

"Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" 1978...still good :)

:D i actually liked it way back then.......havent seen it in at least 15 years...strange how those whales got human feelings :)

I finally got around to watching Equilibrium and I loved it and it was also the first time I'd seen Christian Bale, he's a really good actor i think Batman will finally be good this time around not that Clooney and Kilmer aren't good actors themselves but they didn't really fit the role but it think Bale will do just fine.

P.S.

I think Preston would kick Neo's ass.

Ok....havnt updated here in awhile, here's what Ive watched this week, in order:

Chronicles of Riddick : Decent movie, nothing spectacular, and nowhere near as good as Pitch Black. It did have moments, and the ending was amazing.

Stepford Wives [Remake] : Exactly what I was expecting from it. Mildly funny, decent plot. I really want to see the original though. But ya, I enjoyed this.

Dawn of the Dead [Remake] : Wow. I was speechless after this movie. I agree that it was more of a reinvention than a remake, and both versions are amazing. The gore was great [More varried than the 1st], and I laughed my ass off at the Down w/ the Sickness jazz version, lol

Van Helsing : I was bored this morning, and grabbed a random movie off my shelf. Havnt watched this in awhile, I thought it was really good. If you wanted a horror movie, I can see why most people are disapointed with this. But I was looking for action, that what I got.....Along with some minor plot holes, but those can be overlooked:p

The original was weird....kinda semi-horror thriller? I've not yet seen the new one, but it looks like they've gone a completely different way with it...I'd have preferred a more scary remaks m'self, but hey, I might check it out someday.
I think there was a sequel to the original too...?

All Dogs Go To Heaven II:It could had been one of the greatest animated sequels if it wasn´t for the animation and the short running time.
Starring Charlie Sheen, Ernest Borgoine (Can´t spell it!), Sheena Easton and more.

Watched the Unrated Director's Cut of Dawn of the Dead. I thought it was pretty good. But then, I really like Ving Rhames and Mekhi Phifer.

The original is very dark. Some dark humor too.

Actually, it has 3 sequels: Revenge of the Stepford Wives, The Stepford Children, and The Stepford Husbands. All three were made for TV though, lol.

Anyway, I just got done watching "The Bone Snatcher". I wasnt expecting much, I was at Blockbuster, in the mood for something I hadnt seen, and this was the only non R rated horror movie I could find, so I picked it up. Wow was I surprised. Fairly original plot, amazing looking monster, and even decent acting! Definatly gonna buy this if I can find it
