Volver 8/10

Popped in some chillers last night:

Nosferatu (1922)

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

The Burning.
A rather nice film but the ending was a let-down. It could have been so much better.

Q: The Winged Serpent

Pretty sweet. Loved the cheesy-ass effects, and David Carradine is always badass.

Aunt Rose ~ silly and pretty awful, often unintentionally funny......I admit I got some laughs out of it.
Wizard of Gore ~ over the top, goofy....and yes, entertaining.

Also A Nightmare On Elm Street part 2: Freddy's Revenge
The Hills Have Eyes (original)

The Last Waltz, Scorcese’s documentary of The Band’s final concert. I liked a few of the songs a lot, but enjoyed the interview sections more.

Sam

love that documentary... thanks to my dad who is a fan of the band and joni mitchell

i watched cry baby this afternoon...hmmm johnny depp :p

Haha! Awesome!

I've been forcing my roommates to watch the most vile movies I have. We watched Ebola Syndrome two nights ago. Not as much fun the second time around, but it's still a great movie.

Transformers

The effects were great, as was the acting. The story was very straightforward and the action is pretty fast paced right out of the gate. Overall, this is a pretty entertaining action flick. My main gripe is that it was 2 and a half hours long.

John Cusack is a great actor. This story was intentionally confusing until the very end, but it clears things up pretty well once you get there. There's not much gore, but that's alright because it's a psychological film and it's rated PG-13. Normally, I think PG-13 horror movies suck, bu this one was one of the exceptions.

Planet Terror

This was awesome. I loved it. Cool plot, tons of sloppy gore, funny characters and great effects. I think the only thing holding this one back from an A+ grade is the intentional editing goofs and missing reels. I realize that it part of the nostalgic effect, but the sloppy editing was annoying when it wasn't intentional and it's still annoying when it is.

Cube. Obviously I like it a little too much because I found myself reciting the words before they were said this time around.

Masters of Horror, Cigarette Burns. Some really nice gorey bits, overall a good episode.
