Shaun of the Dead


Jeepers Creepers 2

It was homophobic not only in that line of dialogue, but in the portrayal of Xerxes (masculine figure vs. effeminate figure). Your comment about an old-school way of looking at homosexulity is misplaced. Old school, but not THIS old school. The Spartans actually partook in same-sex relations much like the Athenians. I was saying it was homophobic because it completely reversed this aspect of history simply to portray that image. Perhaps due to the adapters feelings, or to connect to their target audience. If anything, this change is attempting to further modernize the film.

The Hideous Sun Demon

I saw the hills have eyes 2. I really thought it would be garbage but I thought it was alright but no way as good as the part 1 remake.

I saw Shooter and thought it was pretty good. I would give that movie a 7/10.

1408. Creepy and entertaining.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

WOW! The opening five minutes alone make this one worth watching. This is a film that could never have come out of Hollywood. There is no morality at all. I never read the book (which inspired Cobain to write the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit") but my wife had and she still thought this was a really cool adaptation.

It's about an 18th Century Parisian with the most profoundly sensative sense of smell in history and his obsessive quest to create the perfect perfume. He is the perfect answer to the staid and done-to-death Dr. Frankenstein-type of wealthy obsessive mad scientist. He is a street urchin, devoid of education and morally bankrupt. The story is also a great metaphor for the contemporary celebrity worship in that the protagonist really is a nobody who puts on a false image (a perfume) and is transformed...only to find that the end which he pursued ultimately leaves him unfulfilled.

It lags in the middle and has several gaps in logic, but those are more than made up for by the fantastic production and costume design, brilliant lighting and cinematography and sheer audacity of filmmaker Tom Tykwer (Run Lola, Run.)

Highly recommended to fans of period costume films.

8.5/10

Big nothing, It's harder to ignore David swimmer than you may think, even with Simon Pegg in the movie, 6/10


Blades of Glorry, I expected to piss myself laughing at least once, but no. 4/10
