Underworld, Watched it because Im going to see the sequel later on.

Have you seen Theatre of Blood, Bwind? If you have, it's VERY similar to Phibes. Not quite as good IMO, but still very similar. If you havent seen that either....it comes almost as highly recomended:D

The Machinist

I think this is a great film, the acting is very good and the story compelling. But I just can't get over what Christian Bale did to himself; I have mentioned this everywhere I go tonight. That's just crazy.....I mean, suffering for your art is one thing, but geez man.....:eek:

A few movies I can watch over and over again that will NEVER get old:

Evil Dead 2
Animal House
Jaws
Sin City (a bit early on this one, only watched it three times, but in a fairly short period of time)
Pumpkinhead
Young Frankenstein

Not to mention that he then went on to film "batman begins" more or less right after, and beefed up like whut! for that. I guess the guy's just very into what he does.
I think he's pretty much got the "method actor" title by the balls, among the folk of today.

finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last nite.

and again i was puzzled at the aggresiveness of the Dumbledore character

Dodgeball, first time I've seen it.
I actually AVOIDED watching this movie...but saw it on weekly hire, so I thought I'd give it a shot, and it was actually one of the funniest films I've seen in a while. Vince Vaugn played a decent role, and Ben Stiller...well, he's always played the completely overdone dipshits pretty well. Not a bad watch at all, WAY funnier than I was expecting.

Then, watched Shaun of the dead...probably about the 6th time around. Yup, still brilliant. If there's the slightest chance anyone here HASN'T seen it by now, do yourself a favour and at least hire it, I cannot praise this film enough.

It's because he has a micro-weiner. I mean c'mon...you think that beard isn't compensating for something?

Dog Soldiers
I was hyped for this movie, since people have rather ranted about it quite a bit on forums I frequent. "Best werewolf movie in a long time" someone said. Personally, I thought Ginger Snaps was a lot better. I'm not a fan of war movies, or the likes, so I should have known I wouldn't think of this as "great". It was so-so. if I was into this genre, horror/warfare, then hell I would have thought it was great. Just not my thing, so this is my rating. The camera work early on hurt my eyes with it's quick movements.

I haven't seen it in awhile so it's not all that clear in my mind at the moment but by war movie do you mean just the exsistence of soldiers? 'Cause from what I remember it was a group of soldiers that encountered werewolves, other than them being soldiers it had nothing to do with war.

"Grotesque", starring Linda Blair. Was pretty cool, but the 'movie within a movie' format spoilt it.

Rat Race: Utter utter wank, complete waste of my life yet out of sheer curiosity I continued watching.

Murder in the First: Brilliant film, Kevin Bacons best performance.

Suspiria


Good cheesy, low budget gore. Very artistic and unique direction as well as fine acting and compelling witch tale make this one a rightfully deserving classic. Argento's use of color in almost ever scene's lighting is something I haven't seen done in that manner very often and it creates for a very atmospheric film. All in all, it was good, but I'm not a nut for witch films so I didn't think it was anything great, just good.

Tristan And Isolade

A entertaining love story from start to finish, with many surprising shots of violence.

Plaga Zombie

One of the cheesiest Films I Have ever seen, I also wasnt expecting it to be in spanish. So having to read subscripts was a bit of an irritation. Acting was either hot or cold. But I did watch this movie the whole way through and I was entertained.

Pi - Gripping movie but in the end that payoff wasn't worth the invetment. I liked the movie but I was a bit dissapointed.

The Crazies - Another reason to thank God for Romero. Incest, killer gradmothers, and the Trixie disease which I think was kind of a precursor the "rage" from 28 Days later only less zombifying.

The Howling - A little slow but a good werewolf film, not many of those around anymore. Joe Dante sure has a diverse resume and can do both horror and comedy pretty well.

Resident Evil Apocalypse.....Again

cheebacheeba 01-29-2006 08:36 AM

I saw chicken little at the cinema yesterday...it was fairly funny, worth a few chuckles, but I wouldn't rush out for the dvd.

I just got through "the big lebowski" which I'd not seen before. Interesting film. Funny, quite watchable. Ended a little suddenly, which felt strange, but yeah, not a bad watch.

slasherman 01-29-2006 09:59 AM

"Jason Goes to hell"...pretty gory...

Plaga Zombie : Mutant Zone

This was a sequel to Plaga Zombie, and was actually much worse. This film picks up from right where the first one left off. Overall thier was some cool shots of gore. And all around bad acting.

The Legend of Zorro......not bad....it was a Zorro movie, nothing more.Could have used a little more sword play.

Corpse Bride....half of it...turned it off....it didn't have the same magic as Nightmare b4 x-mas.Plus i was tired.....i will give it another chance.

thats weird ...

i watched corpse bride ,,, then checked out the Legend of Zorro ..
watched the begining to check the quality...

i liked corpse bride ... it wasnt as strong as Nightmare - and the songs weren't as good (except for Victors theme which was very nice) but it was as visually rich. I find that style of animation very watchable ..

the 'live world' scenes would be hard to take when tired as they were very drab and dreary ..

i know it was pretty obvious but i still got a kick out of the way the land of the living was all grey tones and the land of the dead was vibrant with colour ..
