Nothing quite like it right? That flick had a big impact on me.

Finally! One of the ten best, IMO.

Street Trash

Wacky as hell and I loved every minute of it.


Mirrors


Pretty good.Good deaths and kept me interested through the whole film.

sukiyaki western django (2008)

haha, goodness...where to begin?

i got to see this on the big screen as part of a weekend-long "b-movie celebration".
i figured i knew what i was getting myself into watching a spaghetti western by takashi miike (and featuring quentin tarantino), and in a way, it's precisely what you might think. however, there are a few points that took me by surprise.

it's quite easy to tell that miike and his bunch have a profound love for the genre, and made the film not only to pay homage, but to have a blast doing it. the result is a goofy, gory, WAY over-the-top film, packed with all of the essentials of the spaghetti western; savagely convoluted plot, brow-furrowing dialogue, lots of cool characters, leonesque close-ups, cinematographic grandeur, intermittent flashbacks, a soundtrack that morricone himself could have easily written, and so on. miike, on a technical level, does a great job of keeping the pacing right and balancing between comedy, drama, and action.

and the gore is most ample, and very much traditional miike.

all in all, it's definitely a lot of fun. i'd recommend it for sure, especially to lovers of the genre, because that's who they made it for.

also, a question for people who have seen death of a ghost hunter (2007):

is it any good? what'd you think?
thanks in advance!

Day of the Dead (remake/reworking)

ended up liking this one ... fast zombies again - (some doing weird shit like crawling across ceilings and jumping like spiders) - for the visual effect - nothing that could be explained as an effect of how they became zombies - but i didnt mind at all - i kind of liked the way it looked.

characters slightly elevated above the typical cliches ...

and i like how they rejigged 'Bud'

all in all - it could have been a lot worse - it kept me interested and i didnt roll my eyes once (which i do a lot with zombie films these days)

Day of the dead Remake was good film.

I've actually got the DOTD film you guys are referring to...is it independant of the last DAWN film, or a sequel?
I might check it out soon all the same, it's been sitting around for a while now.

If this one isn't a contunuation, IS there actually a planned sequel to the ?2004? dawn?

Last seen movie...I can't remember...
I watched HELLBOY 2 a little while back, which I thought was really good, an improvement on DT's first attempt. Great stunt coreography and an atmosphere all its own.

It wasn't a continuation...... There isn't one like that planned that I know of, but you should watch the remake... a hot zombie slaying chick and a bit of fun.

if anything it could be considered a possible prequel to the 2004 dawn of the dead ... same fast zombies ... but in this case it shows where/how the infection started... but in all probability - its an independant effort
