Rocky Horror. My roommate had never seen it before, so I felt bound to show it to him.

urgeok 02-13-2006 06:21 AM

Bewitched .... ahhh ... uhhmm ... Steve Caroll was funny ..


Inside Deep Throat... a documentary about the infamous porn flick and how it affected society, and the people who made it ..

pretty interesting really ...

You may have already said this but I didn't catch it if you did:
How did you like Underworld Evolution?

And here's a question for anyone, it caught my attention after they reran Underworld on TV.....So,apparently the blood from that dead werewolf did nothing to Marcus?
Was it because he was the first Vampire?
It made no mention in UE about what the blood did to him except wake him up,unless I am forgetting something here.

I watched High Tension and Office Killer last night. I think I like High Tension more every time I see it and Office Killer was simply a fun little slasher. Although I never thought I'd see Molly Ringwald and Carol Kane in a horror flick together.

Hustle & Flow

Well, Im not really sure what I thought of this one. Normaly, this is the kind of movie I wouldnt even look twice at on the shelf in Blockbuster, but Im trying to take in as many Oscar nominated films as I can this year. Like I said, Im not totally sure what I thought about it. Terrence Howard might not necesarily deserve the Oscar, but he definatly earned the nomination. Very well acted on everyone's part, actually. However, it was pretty uneven in parts. For example, the scene near the end where he was talking with Key. At first, it was a pretty tense scene, Key seemed pretty upset and almost hurt. But after the little flashback with Nola, they were both happy as a clam. That kind of thing happened alot, but that's the best example. There was also a bit of unfinished business with certain characters. Lexus just disapeared about half way through, and while she wasnt a great character anyway, it would have been nice to know what happened to her. Overall, it was a well made, well acted movie, but if you normally wouldn't be interested in this type of flick, dont bother with it.

6.5/10


EDIT- Another thing. I dont particularly like rap, but that "Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is going to be stuck in my head for a week.

Wes Cravens - Shocker


This film is like ANOES...

The_Return 02-13-2006 06:13 PM

The Ghosts of Edendale

Found this one in a baragain bin, and decided I might as well give it a shot. Well, I certainly wasnt disapointed! Though it did hae the overall feel of ultra low budget, the actors werent bad and all things considered, the effects were pretty good. Interesting storyline, added in some Hollywood history. Methinks Ill have to watch this one a couple more times to try and figure out the ending though. Overall, if you see this in a bargain bin, I say pick it up! Might take awhile to get your head around, but definatly better than alot of recent low budget crap.

8/10

why rent when you can .. errr ... ask to 'borrow' a set :D

Despare 02-14-2006 08:47 AM

Cheerleeder Camp - Kind of slow with not enough real kills, the beartrap kill and the garden shears were both pretty good.

Society - A long wait to get to the real good stuff but the ending is... out there. Yuzna really built up to the final scene and it doesn't dissapoint but the movie itself moves rather slow. This isn't Re-Animator but I liked the social commentery.

PeaSoupintheye 02-14-2006 08:57 AM

Watched a few more over the weekend...

Cable guy - 6.5/10 - I love this film, Jim Carrey is funny, loud and quite menacing throughout this film. A great popcorn movie!

Corpse Bride - 9/10 - I really enjoyed this - I'm a massive fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas and this is almost as good. The songs are not quite as catchy, the characters are not perhaps as memorable but hey it's still a creepy kick ass movie. top marks Mr Burton!

PeaSoupintheye 02-14-2006 08:58 AM

August Underground - 6.5/10 Well...where do I start? Firstly if Scrapbook and I guess to a lesser extent Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer are your cup of tea then this will fit snugly into your collection. I purchased the double disc (signed by the cast) Snuff Edition and well I being a fan of such films found it dirty, disgusting and down right offensive - great stuff. However, I have to say that although they basically have tried to make another 'Henry' it does not live up to the classic that is Henry. contains good documentaries albeit slightly long winded and various galleries - Still good though - if you like that kinda thing.

Mothman prophecies - I have seen this a few times but I do still enjoy it - particularly like the documentary about the Mothman on the extra features. 8/10

Underworld - 7/10 - good action/vamp flick - another popcorn movie really...

PeaSoupintheye 02-14-2006 08:59 AM

Dark Water (Remake) - 3/10 - I didn't mind the Japanese Original version but didn't find it too scary, one or two menacing scenes but I was outraged to find that the remake not only didn't contain any menacing scenes whatsoever but they actually changed the end to completely disregard my fave scene from the original which for me made the film! Where was the climatic elevator scene?? I would strongly advise on avoiding this Remake at all costs...the worst of the remakes as far as I am concerned to date. I have seen scarier films on Nickelodeon.

PeaSoupintheye 02-14-2006 09:02 AM

Guinea Pig: Devil's Experiment. - I was bought the Guinea Pig boxset for christmas and started from the beginning with 'Devils Experiment'. I found this movie quite hard to stomach to be honest...50 minutes of basic torture and abuse on a young girl and that is the story...hmmm. I liked the final scene with the needle through the eye - that was very effective and very sickening, again for fans of extreme horror (August Underground) etc might find this film entertaining, for others I would suggest avoiding this film. Entertainement 6/10 Sickening Scenes 8/10!

Shikoku 4/10 - Dull, Long winded - could have been done in half the time - avoid as there are many better Asian horror's around.

Next up...

Well as it is Valentines Day my suggestion to 'Mrs Pea Soup' was Anthropagus the Beast...I was met with a stern look so it looks like I'm watching 'What Women Want' tonight - doh...I suppose as one off being Valentines Day n'all...lol

for some reason they also removed most of the tension..
it was well acted, well made, but pointless and limp thanks to the choices the filmmakers made in scrimping on the story.

I totally agree - it wa sa big disappointment for me this one

slasherman 02-14-2006 01:28 PM

Saw 2 ...dissapointing...one location movie...in bad studio settings...bad acting(very tv serie like)...quasi twist...but I guess its watchable on a bad day...

hellfire1 02-14-2006 01:48 PM

aeon flux.

the whole essence of the character was apparently very misunderstood. how disappointing (but then again i kind of knew it would be).

noctuary 02-14-2006 09:25 PM

I also watched Saw 2 today, but unlike slasherman, I quite liked it. Not as good as the first, but still a more than decent film. The needle pit scene was just gruesome, and the twist at the end was most unexpected. Overall: 7/10

urgeok 02-14-2006 10:14 PM

The Matador

loved this movie .. great characters .. a really nice job by Pierce...
the 'wife' was an uncommonly strong roll too ..

well made film .. well written..well acted ..

Monster Man

Dark comedy version of Joy Ride. Wasn't really good or bad, just fun.

novakru 02-15-2006 07:29 AM

Eros,I don't know what to rate this.
I think maybe if I was in a different frame of mind,I might have liked it... dunno
That ever happen to you?

Kind of...like...stupid comedies and trip-out films seem a lot better stoned?

Eros is the name of a strip club in the city here...weird...

No new movies to report, I've seen NOTHING since my studies recommenced.

all the time ..
some times i can shake it and see it again with a fresh point of view .. other times the 1st impression (despite being determined by other forces extraneous to the actual film) sticks with me.


here's a weird thing i do :


if i have to stop a movie for any reason (too tired, time to go out, etc) it might be years before i try to watch it again.

i dont know why .. but it drives me nuts about myself.




but yeah.. back to the origional point : if i'm in a bad mood (which is rare) or not feeling well, or tired, etc .. it can unfairly colour my opinion on a film ..

newb 02-15-2006 09:06 AM

SAW 2. Not as good as the first but not terrible.
Biggest gripe....there was absolutely nobody to root for.Every character was a prick who deserved what they got.

alkytrio666 02-15-2006 10:56 AM

Help! What an awesome movie. Easily The Beatles' best film. I had to order a copy from the U.K. because it went out of print years ago here in the U.S. and I've been searching for one for years. Thank God for Ebay.

***********SPOILER ***************************










if it wasnt for the rediculous glowing red eyes on deniro and the baby at the end .. it would have been a perfect 10.
Rourke was never better than in this film.

PeaSoupintheye 02-16-2006 09:05 AM

I totally agree!! hahaha - I was thinkin the exact same thing last night upon watching it!

Cracking film though.
