Carnival seems surrealistic.

Thats a good word for it....Dreamlike works too, lol

Its probably the greatest atmospheric film of all time.

The truly excellent "High Plains Drifter"

While we're talking movies, I'm gonna jump into the future for a lil' bit, and let you guys know what I intend to watch soon:
An jap. animated film done in 2004 called
"APPLE SEED"
I've been enjoying a lot of animated films lately, so when something of that nature becomes available to me through certain means, I have a look at it.
I checked out IMDB for some info on this film, but saw that there's also a 1988 animated film of the same name...does anybody here know anything about EITHER of them???


Still want some info on "castle of cagliostro" too...

my kid loves that movie .. i must have watched it 50 times with him .. great music.

I love High PLains Drifter.

Shaun of the dead

Damn fine indeed! Blows away many conventions of the Western and messes wonderfully with the viewers expectations.
Nice looking transfer on the R2 DVD as well.

I love that the main character totally fucks the people over at first, too. Given who he turned out to be, it makes perfect sense. Rape some of the women, make the midget the mayor and sherrif, piss on their "hospitality" while taking advantage of it, and then save all their asses and make them look like fools.

I saw Hide & Seek today...now I'm watching Pet Sematary.

Fear Dot Com!!!!

Prince Of Egypt - One of the greatest animated movies!
Wonderful animation, and a big all star cast including Patrick Stewart, Michelle Pfeiffer and Sandra Bullock, but it got banned in many countries.

well, i watched Jurassic Park : the Lost Word with my kid who is a complete dinosaur freak. I skipped throught the scary/violent parts though. I forgot how good the dinos looke in that film .. too bad there were so many trite and convenient plot devices.

Then i watched AVP because i had heard a few conflicting opinions and had to see it for myself.

good effects .. bad story .. it felt rushed and everything that happened was telegraphed well ahead of time.
And the last 'shot' was completely stupid and unnessessary.

Urgeok:I saw Jurassic Park - TLW in the cinema under the premiere evening, and I remember people cheering as the T Rex enters the city.
I understand you skipped those scary parts in TLW, it´s enough even to scare me!

Last night I watched Atom Age Vampire, it was pretty good, but I probably wont watch it again.

This morning, I saw Last Man on Earth. Wow! That movie was amazing! Best VP film Ive seen aside from it and the Pendulum:)

Yes, Dario Argento is often named in the same breath as Lucio Fulci for providing lazy/illogical/surreal/nonsensical/inspired/
fantastic/unique plot developments (delete as appropriate).

Garden State, perdy decent

And Justice For All

I just got done watching Frailty


:eek: :eek: :eek:

*shivers*
I just now saw one of those church of Jesus Christ Morman commercials, and the guy in it totally reminded me of the dad in that movie
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Secret Of NIMH 2:Good, but not well done sequel to Secret of NIMH, where Timmy and his girlfriend Jenny are going to save Jenny´s parents from NIMH.
Great humor and music, but the animation and story could be better.

Well, I just watched most of "Poltergeist" before it fucking cut off, and this is rented. well, before that I watched Friday the 13th VII [Again!] and before that was American Werewolf in Paris. Catch, Ell Voorhees.

You know You´re at a horror forum, right Amalthea? L
Coz for a horror fan you watch a shit lot of Cartoon movies.;)

By the way, what is the danish title for "Secret of Nimh"?



Peace


:cool:

Maybe thats true..havent seen all the D. Argento films....but I cant see why its better when it 's Argento....to me the movie could have been sooo much better if he had stayed more logical and believable........i'm not sure if its designed or simply lack of a better plot..:confused: ...
I think that the acting and story was better in "Deep Red"...maybe its because he manage his own language better ?....That he can communicate better in Italien...
His english isnt very good...neither is mine :)

"Some Kind Of Monster"..pretty good documentary about Metallica.....a lot of bitching and back stabbing :)

"One Missed Call"..a japanes ghost story....not very good....out of ten...not more than three 3/10

i watched a couple last night ... catwoman .. which was complete poop .. not much of a suprise there. Sharon Stone looked pretty damn good though ..

Then .. i watched 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner'.
Yes kids, there are well acted films out there ...
this was one of them. Sidney Poitier was fantastic.

One of my favorite films! Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn were fantastic, too. Who was the actress who played their daughter?

Katherine Houghton ... not sure if she did anything after that ..

Katharine Houghton was born on March 10, 1945, in Hartford, Connecticut, the daughter of Marion Hepburn Grant (Katharine Hepburn's younger sister) and Ellsworth Grant. Before going into the movies, she went to Sarah Lawerance College and majored in phliosphy. Her debut in the movies was in 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) as Joanna Drayton. This movie also starred her aunt, Katharine Hepburn, with whom which she has had a close realationship, Spencer Tracy, Spencer Tracy and Sidney Poiter. Since this time, she has starred in over fifty on and off Broadway and New England regional theater productions. She is also a playwright and amongst her credits are such as: Best Kept Secret, Merlin, The Marry Month Of May, Mortal Friends, On The Shady Side, The Right Number, Phone Play and her translation of Anouilh's Antigone. She also presents lectures: "Katharine X Three", "My Grandmother's House Near The River" and "The Secret Life Of Louisa May Alcott".

Funny. I thought that "One missed call" was really good? One of the best japanese horror movies that i´ve seen actually. :)

Thank you for that footnote, newb. ;)


:cool:

aha, family connections

My weekend viewing consisted of "The Funky Meters live from New Orleans" on saturday night and "The Grudge" last night. This movie gets panned by a lot of members here but I thought it was just as good as the original, with a few added scares. I'm just glad the original director was used.

i still want to see it ...
I thought the origional was effectively creepy

Just viddied Shaun of the Dead for this afte. Then gonna viddie Vampire Hunter D for this eve.

Just watched "Anatomy" (German)

dr jeckle and ms. hyde

tim daley and sean young ..

i like sean young ... dumb movie though
found it in a junk bin .. paid 5$ for it .

probably worth it to see sean young in lingerie .. thats about it

Can't stop watching Eqilibrium.

Hmmm strange because I usually like ghost movies..but this one felt just empty...and the plot felt unfinished...
I didnt like "Audition" either because it also felt unfinished... and to much John Woo stuff....
Maybe I dont like that Takashi Miike guy :confused: ....
I dont hope so because I know he have made many films..:cool:

Hey, sorry to interrupt, but I don't wanna use a whole thread...since movies are getting discussed on and off in here anyways - Has anyone here seen the 80's animated film
"Grave of the Fireflies"?
I've heard it's a realistic wartime story about children...other than that, I don't know much, should I see this film?
Any info would be appreciated.
