Robots ..
my kiddo wanted to see this again. its a shame it was so poorly written .. it's breathtaking to look at - i really love the visual style of the film. |
Last 30 minutes of Scream3, just cause I was bored.
Mild spoiler***** Still really love the part where Parker Posey runs down the stairs and out of sight, then you hear a door bumping open, then the *sheenk!* sound of the knife, and she runs back up screaming. |

I dig 70's horror.....and snow-creatures.This was part of a three pack I got and despite never having a "full reveal" of the creature I thought this was well put together flick with a decent straight foward plot. Two problems:no nudity and not enough blood(I'm not sure about the rating,it's probably PG) Last seen:Creature(1985) |
Just went to see FD3 at the cinemas (yeah...late to come out here eh?) It was ok...a bit dissapointed in Todds only partial appearance, his mortician persona had much more presence...I mean, yeah, he was present and all...maybe that's why.
:D The kills were ok...the coaster premonition scene was pretty fucked, watching while wasted...I dunno, nothing too great, and I felt like the director of the film seems to think everyone in the audience is an idiot, showing the snapshot intermissions on nearly every single death scene, just in case anyone competely retarded had it go over their head, they could still go "oh yeah, now I geddit!"...well, anyway I didn't think they needed to do that quite as much. Storyline "ok", nothing new...in fact, I kinda thought there would be some obscure linking factors to the first 2 films like how changes in events made in the first film effected the initial fate of characters of the second film...rather brief reference was all...I liked the way the continuity worked, but that seemed to have been dropped. I think the "deaths design" factor was also better and more intricate in the first 2...The truck scene was a little tense, but other than that nah, the film was "just ok" IMO. |

Hostel (uncut)...Disappointment...Already ranted about it in another thread, don't wanna go into it again...BUT...If I had started it at the 45 minute mark, I would have loved it, but thought it was too short...It's a great premise...At least, the 'horror' part is...
Parents (with Randy Quaid)...Hadn't watched it in a long time...It was still fun House Of Flying Daggers...Really good Brothers Grimm...Good, but not AS good as I had hoped...I think my expectations were a little too high Dean Koontz Black River...Still love it Unnamable 2: The Statement Of Randolph Carter...Decent Lovecraft movie...Not as good as the first one, but that's pretty common |

Revolver; *** / *****
Watched this last night with the family. It's a Guy Ritchie film, so you know what to expect. All his movies are so similiar, very similiar... but this one changed things up just slightly. It added a more 'psychological' feeling and mood to the story, but in the end it just confused the audience. The performances were all pretty standard, nothing incredibly special except for maybe Jason Statham. But then again, I might be baised because I have a huge fan-love for him. Mmm, Jason Statham. I was very pleased with his randomly inserted shower scene, too. You don't see much, but it's very artistic. Sad, wet, laying on the floor of the shower, starring off into nothing. A good scene. There were quite a few good scenes, actually. Such as Jason & The Elevator, and the Sharpshooter & The Girl. Oooh, very good editing in the Sharpshooter &The Girl scene. VERY good. Camera's panned all around, going through walls and different rooms. Very unique, fresh, and visually-stunning. Speaking of that, the scene where Jason smashed through a car is beyond a visual-orgasm. He smashes in, the camera freezes, and rewinds in slow motion. In about three different angles, we see the shards of class fly by his bleeding skull, and replace themselves into the windshield. Ammmazing! Usually I can guess how certain directors shot a scene, but with Guy Ritchie, it's a mystery. Ok, so as you can see I loved the film cinematography & editing-wise. The story itself was a little confusing as previous mentioned, but had a good little spin on things. Something that pissed me off greatly is how the movies ends several times. A big twist/reveal/confrontation which makes you think "Hot damn this is the end! Some crazy shit is going to go down!" Well, shit does go down, crazy shit at that, but... the movie continues. RIGHT INTO ANOTHER SCENE LIKE THIS. It definately keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat, but... it gets annoying. Greatly. And all these scenes are 21085x less confusing then the actual end. It's and ending that's so confusing and unanswered that even watching it another two times won't give you the slightest idea of what happened. Is it a dream? Are the characters one person? Eeeh. Three Stars due to the opening seeming like every other Guy Ritchie film (expcially Lock, Stock), and the end being more confusing then it should be. Also the fact that at one point I would have rather taken a nap then watch any more of it. --- Watching Sleepaway Camp, Creepshow and one of the following: The Toybox Return of the Living Dead I Know What You Did Last Summer Mr. Hell Audition I wanted to watch The Toybox because it has a good atmosphere to it, or so it seemed like when I skimmed through it. Return of the Living Dead is a classic, but perhaps a bit too funny for my likes tonight. IKWYDLS is something I have seen before, but when I was younger... I don't really remember much of it. Mr. Hell seems terrible, but something I should watch just for the hell of it, and Audition is very slow but a "classic" as well. I know about the ending-a-big-shock, have an idea what it might be (HARD CANDY) but not too sure either. |
cheaper by the dozen ...(remake w/steve martin)
something to watch with my kid .. its exactly what you'd expect. |

Audition; ****/*****
Sort of a japanese horror classic. I was very into the story from the beginning, of course... I knew what was going to happen already. I could really see the main premise of this show being turned into an American romantic comedy. I could just see it, with over-the-top The Producers-like performances. Odd, isn't it? Considering most of this films subject matter. What I'm glad about in this film is it's ability to shock you, even if you know what's going to happen (it's best you don't read up on this before watching it). I usually watch horror films with my mother - or show her certain scenes, and wait for her reaction. She usually clasps her hands over her mouth, looks disgusted turns away, or cringes. Sometimes all in one sitting. I found myself doing exactly this. The noises alone make you shrink back and crinkle your nose. What I didn't like was some of the camera direction. A few scenes, a lengthy one in particular, use a shaky-camera affect. Whether it was on purpose, or due to the lack of a proper camera, it made me feel a bit queasy. The effect was held for too long, and mixed with the quick angle changes, made for a rather unpleasent viewing experience. I also have another gripe, just one. The man at the end is drugged so he cannot move, yet when inserting the needles into his body he is shaking. His head moves rapidly and his shoulders move as well. Then it's as if he realized this, and stopped doing it altogether. I thought that was quite wierd, but it may also be simply the medication had not kicked in fully yet. |
The Family Stone.....i thought it was gonna be a comedy.....ended up being a tearjerker......for the most part......not that i filled up or anything.....much too manly for that.
not a bad watch with a great cast |

Man on Fire Very good, great acting, love the Latin America setting. Very violent, brutal, realistic. Best ending and worst at the same time. The ... * big spoilers******** Big reuniting is amazing, but the death si not... END SPOILER******* 8.5/10 |
"Man On Fire" is one of my favorite movies of all-time. Washington does an incredible job, as always.
Anyways, I just saw "Madhouse" for the first time last night. It wasn't at all a bad movie, but I'm SICK of the split-personality bullshit. |
Fear...With Ally Sheedy...I had seen it a long time ago...It's not too bad...But, her acting in this one makes me laugh...

Capote ...overrated as hell....boring as hell....

Samurai Champloo Vol. 1 - 6 10/10
It's an awsome series so far. |
The Seventh Seal
Good movie, I wish some of the characters made me care a little more though. The ending was a little unexpected but it was a good watch. |

Do you have the DVD? If so, watch the alternate ending. It still has the "split-personality bullshit", but it ends alot better. |
