Phantoms -
I finally got the chance to watch Phantoms. I read somewhere that this was a Lovecraft type movie. That got it on my list. The movie starts off pretty good. It reminded me of Silent Hill and I wish we just had the two women exploring the abandoned town for a bit longer. The town is a nice setting too. Perfect for a horror movie. But once more characters show up it loses some of the tension and adds a character that really shouldn't be in the movie. A goof ball type. I might read the book one day to see how much was changed for the movie. The premise is good and back story will make you think. I just feel that they added stuff for the sake of whoever watched the movie back then. And they could have made something even better with more thought. Still worth a watch if you like The Thing and other movies of this type. |

Well done on listing Spinal Tap and Holy Grail. Two absolute classics. When it comes to quotability I'd like to mention Fear And Loathing... but that might be for personal reasons. |

Oh, I want to check this one out! It doesn't sound familiar to me. |
forgot to mention..........
Knock Knock
C- Wow, okay, I think it's quite clear that maybe Eli Roth should just hang it up. First came Green Inferno which was quite a disappointment then came Knock Knock which was even a bigger disappointment. I am a huge Keanu Reeves fan and watching him in this flick was like watching a terrible movie on the SyFy channel! What is happening??!! ::sad::::confused::::shocked:: |

The Ridiculous 6 (2015)
A/B My second favorite western comedy (out of the 4 that I know). Adam Sandler did a decent job making this movie. Everything looked really good. Beautiful scenery too. The humour's quite stupid at times but the good kind of stupid. Laughed out loud several times. Quote:

Evil Dead (2013)
Second viewing. Liked it even less than the first time. Totally overrated. |

Tfanasy, I'm sure you have, but have you seen Young Frankenstein? I think that was one of the best, joining Shawn of the Dead, Evil Dead 2, Ghostbusters. It's been so long, I'm actually not sure if I saw Saturday the 14th or not. Quote:

Ant-Man (2015)
8/10 I actually liked it. Decent plot, characters, humor, action, pace, FX and cinema quality. I think hero and nonhero fans would enjoy it. It's a bit safe, but it's done well. |
The Sixth Sense
There is... NO WAY... this is by the same M. Night Shyamalan. I mean it wasn't perfect but holy hell did I love this movie. It did have a lot of Shyamalan points that drove me nuts. Child dialogue that doesn't sound like a child should say it. Child consoling parent instead of parent consoling child. Pointless panovers that make you want to nutpunch the camera guy. And my personal favorite, the psychiatrist not aware that the naked guy in his bathroom could have a weapon hidden even though he was naked (yeah that alone wasn't suspicious at ALL), and not incapacitating him while he was still seemingly harmless. I mean he broke into your fucking home! HELLO?! Here in hick country his ass would already be down with a few slugs in it! But yeah other than that it was great, just great. The clues were so obvious and I even noticed a few, I'm kind of really upset with myself for not seeing the plot twist coming ahead of time. ::shocked:: |
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
It's official; I'm no longer a Star Wars virgin. I have finally watched all six films in preparation for The Force Awakens which I eagerly await with my pre-ordered tickets. Revenge of the Sith is undoubtedly my favorite of the prequels and my second favorite overall, behind The Empire Strikes Back; I was surprised by how much they stepped up their game and ended the trilogy in a darker, more emotional way. In Revenge of the Sith, the Jedi Knights are spread out all over the galaxy leading a massive clone army against the Separatists. Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to kill the leader of the Separatist Army, General Grievous. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker becomes closer to Chancellor Palpatine who is secretly a Sith Lord and eventually leads Anakin to yield to the dark side of the Force and become Darth Vader. Although Anakin's transition to the dark side was only foreshadowed in Attack of the Clones, it is a major theme in this movie and gives the film much more dramatic depth to explore. Watching his mind wawrp into that of an eventual Sith Lord is almost tragic in context with the rest of the trilogy, and it makes Episode III the most emotionally driven prequel. Hayden Christensen's acting is still questionable as ever, which I blame on poor writing. He has great facial expressions and body language, but the material he has to work with is dreadful at times. Even then, Revenge of the Sith is still a wholly satisfying and terrific ending to the prequel trilogy. From its memorable opening action sequence to the final scene showing Darth Vader's construction, Revenge of the Sith is a thrilling and impressive conclusion to the trilogy. 9/10 |

Yes, I was a fan of the Bill & Ted movies. It seems like I enjoyed the horror/comedies more when I was younger. Now, I just really enjoy horror without all the goofy shit in it. Quote:

GALAXY QUEST (1999). Really enjoyed this, especially after watching a couple seasons of the original STAR TREK. Quite funny and touching with decent special FX. ****
