A History of Violence

Holds up just as well at home as it did in the theater. The GF hadn't seen it, so it was a perfect time for me to buy it and come one step closer to completing my Cronenberg collection.

Also, the stairway scene is hot.

Vampire Hunters....This was a huge surprise...It has everything...Kung fu, zombies and the Japanese version of vampires...Lots of gore, steaming piles of guts...Awesome!...This movie warrants the name of a different genre, 'Horror Fu' :D...I loved it...Everyone should see it

Dark City...Fell asleep about halfway through...Good so far...I'll get back to ya

Mr Vampire OWNS Vampire Hunters.

...and I can't help but think that the matrix kinda ripped off dark city...I loved it.

yep

Oh...I haven't seen that one...Haven't even heard of it....Is it the same 'style'?

House of 1,000 Corpses.--6/10

Crazy!:)

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector

Now this is my kind of comedy. It knows what it is, and it hits the funny bone (and the ass). I fell out of my seat laughing (first time I've ever done this). Larry turned out way better than I expected! I honestly have nothing wrong with this movie. It had a nice length (around 90 minutes), funny as hell, good cast (glad to see Megyn Smith acting again), and delivered a lot of great lines. I'm pissed that the IMBD rating is 1.4/10, because it deserves way more than that!

5 out of 5 stars
FACTOID: Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector is the first movie of 2006 (that was released in 2006) to recieve the 5 out of 5 stars rating. Congratulations!

Multiplicity

Well, I guess my night couldn't be the greatest. Multiplicity looked promising. I mean, it had a good cast (Michale Keaton, Eugene Levy), had a good plot (for a comedy, that is), and had a nice length (117 minutes). But, I guess it was too promising, and I guess I got my hopes up too high, because it was nothing to laugh at. I didn't like the directing because a lot of the time, when the camera moved, the screen went into a "dream wave". It wasn't pretty. I also didn't like the clones of Doug. They were nothing like him when they first came out. One was a fucking fancy-ass pansy! That wasn't Doug at all! Oh, and don't even get me started on retarded Doug. Just skip this comedy. It isn't worth it.

bloodrayne :

well, considering who made it - i wasnt hating it like i thought i would ... he keeps everything going so fast - the edits are like one a second ..that you barely get a chance to notice if it's good or bad. Suprisingly strong and diverse cast though.

that being said - i fell asleep an hour in because i was exhausted,,
i'll finish it later today. Michael Madsen looks like a goof in that hair.



oh .. and prior to that was : The Cat From Outer Space

good for a laugh if only because the 'alien cat' that talked like a hip teenager - with the outdated lingo typical of the older Disney films.

This is the very first thing that I've heard about this movie that wasn't completely negative

@YJ- The different types of Dougs was obviously intentional. One was his masculine side, one was his feminine side and the other was his inner child I guess you could say. That's what made it funny imo, but I'm goofy guy so it doesn't take all that much to make me crack up.

Fragile
 

I watched "Fragiles" last night... it was pretty cool. I had heard both great and terrible opinions on it, but I liked it.

The story is plausible, the acting is reasonable, there is a cool twist at the end and the general mood is creepy as hell.

I still think that part of what makes a good horror movie is where, when and with whom you watch it. If I'd seen this movie alone I'd be shitting my pants, so... that's how you should see it if you want to get the full experience ;)

Still, I give it 7/10

the stuff

deadbeat at dawn

The Eternity & A Day 10 / 10

Oh ok. I never thought of it that way. Though, I still don't like Multiplicity. And I'm like you. I mean, I laughed at Deuce Bigalow:European Gigalow (which I just finished).

Master and Commander:The Far Side of the World

Memento

North By Northwest

Great movie- one of Hitchcock's finest.

Night of the Living Dead. Improves with every viewing.

I did find something funny, however. Well, my mom did. She walked in at the part where Ben is saying "I've got all the doors and windows boarded up", and she noticed that while he's saying that there is a window in the background that isn't boarded up.

It's pretty damn funny.

dracula (1979)

too much rain for you to go out and play some footie today ? :D

I saw part of Clockwork Orange on TV last night...Ive seen bits and pieces before, but I still haent seen the whole thing. And I dont think I want to, to be honest. It is a classic so Ill see it eventually....but Im not in a rush.

All I saw last night was his Ludovico treatment...better than the other bits Ive seen.

funnily enough yes



crash (1996)

..is that number 2 ?

..been watching alot of documentaries latly...
The Men who killed kennedy

Barbie Mermadia 8 / 10

Agreed, definately one of my favourites.



Kolobos

inspector gadget ... harmless fun..
rupert evert looked like he was having fun.

Now I feel like pulling that out of my collection and watching it. Thanks urgeok!

Anyway, I finished Old School a little over an hour ago (I love it) and am currently watching Detroit Rock City (Love this one too).

From Hell


This was a pretty good show. Depp is one of my favourite actors, and while this wasn't one of his best roles, he still did a great job as Abberline. I also quire liked Robbie Coltrane as his partner with an affection for poetry, Peter Godrey. The rest of the supporting cast was good as well, especially Ian Holm. I loved the atmosphere; though Ive heard people complain about it's inacuracies, I love this romantic kind of portrayal of London: the cobblestone streets, the faint street lights through the billowing fog...makes a great setting for a horror flick. One small problem I had was that the plot seemed to move too fast. There wasnt really enough time for anything to develop, especially near the end. Overall it was a pretty good movie though, I enjoyed it.

7/10

Dog Soldiers

8/10

Just a couple things I didn't like, nothing too major, best climax ever.

the woodsman. kevin bacon really doesn't get the attention he deserves, imo.

1) Stay Alive. Besides like the fact that alot of the facts about countess Elizabeth Bathory were off, It was a pretty decent movie.

2) The Hills Have Eyes. It was hillarious. I'm almost positive it wasn't supposed to be, but it was. :D

The Funhouse (aka Carnival of Terror)

Tobe Hooper, what were you thinking? You can't follow up TCM and Salem's Lot with a piece of crap like this and expect it to hold up. Funhouse would have been an average slasher flick had it not come from one of my favorite horror directors of all time! Instead of being average though, I actually held out some hope for it and wound up being immensely dissappointed. The gore wasn't very good, the acting was just okay, and the plot straight up sucked!

If you are a diehard Tobe Hooper fan, then you're gonna see this no matter what but for everyone else, don't be afraid you're missing anything if you skip it.


C-

Ginger Snaps

i agree completely - I've been a big fan since Diner.
He isnt always in great movies but his performances are always top notch.


i have been putting off seeing the woodsman as i have a 5 year old kid .. i'm thinking i'm going to have a lot of trouble with the subject material

edit : stupid me...posted without replying.

i have 2 little brothers, and a little sister, all under 10, whom i consider my own. i practically raised them. and the subject of the film really hits close to home for me as i've mentioned on the board before. but there is nothing graphic in the movie at all. nothing is shown.

it's difficult because it puts a human face on what we consider a monster, but it really should be seen. kevin bacon does an incredible job portarying this man, and really deserves more recognition for the role.

I was wondering what happened to Kevin Bacon. I'm going to have to pick up The Woodsman shortly. Thanks hellfire!

transporter 2
class of 1984

Sound of Thunder--even though the FX ran from not-to-good to abysmal and Ed Burns has NO range as an actor this was a fun watch.At almost two hours it went at a good clip.

Catch Me If You Can
Hitch

So let me get this straight:

You liked Stay Alive, a PG-13 movie about a video game that's "for real"...but you think Hills Have Eyes was laughable?

Something is so terribly wrong here.
