Hot Fuzz

Hahahah...I actually enjoyed this one more than Shaun of the Dead, to be honest. Shaun was great, but the separation between horror and comedy was too clean cut - it was always either funny or scary, rarely a mix. The balance here between spoof and serious was a lot more even, and far funnier.

It did suffer one of the same problem as Shaun of the Dead though: it was about 15-20 minutes too long. Some editing would have done them well.

I cant wait to see what else these guys are up to...is Spaced worth checking out?


Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)

Wow...I dont think I've seen Fredric March in anything else, but he just blew my mind. A truly fantastic performance in both roles, one of the best that I've seen from that era. Absolutely brilliant - deserved the Oscar for sure.

For sure.

Bump it to the top of the pile, and watch it after dinner with some beer. You ll love it.

Now maybe you should watch the first one with fresh eyes and an open mind...

Opera (1987)

Yeah, yeah....hey, I watched Clockwork Orange yesterday and I've got Raging Bull lined up for this afternoon - think you can lay off 'a me for a bit?

;) :p

I Spit on your grave: It was as shocking as advertised. The ending is definitely raises the movie's stock. I liked this movie a lot. 7.5/10

Night of the Demons : Not a bad 80s horror movie. Cheesy but in a good way. A very fun flick overall. 6.5/10.

Yes, actually, I can. You are watching some fantastic movies.
Did you pick up TFC yet?!

Not yet - what's the sequel like?

I've only been able to find a boxset with the two of them...are they both worth watching, or just the first?

I watched Brainscan,i had heard about it and finally gave it a go.I thought it was crap!

The sequel is alright. A lot of people really dig it, and it's fresh on RottenTomatoes.com, but I really think they should hav left the first one the way it was. When you see it, you'll know why.

If you can't find anything but the boxset, though, it wouldn't be the worst investment you could make.

I'll never forget the glare the video store clerk gave my friend and I when we rented this, 10 years ago. Judgemental new age bitch...


Anyway, I spent most of the movie bored and sickened, but the end was great. The slow guy sounded like a squeeky bed, which was unintentionally hilarious

and i couldnt stop laughing at "IT WONT STOP BLEEDING!"


The premise of the second half is pretty funny. "you raped me a couple of times, so i figured i'd give it up the third time. Im actually starting to like this"

I guess the antagonists have to be stupid for it to work, but damn.
