Ah, I can't wait to see that. I've heard great things about it. I missed it when it came through here last year, unfortunately.

yes...he does. At first I thought he may be Heath's younger brother!:confused: [:D]

Ménilmontant (1926)

One of my favorite short films of all time. It's a maddening, disturbing, kinetic avant-garde masterpiece. It's available to watch on YouTube, if anyone's interested:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Backwoods (2008) - 5/10

Watched this on Fearnet on demand because Gary Oldman was in it. His presences alone brought the movie up to a 5, but now that I have really thought about it overnight, the movie was complete shit. It starts off good enough....

The story is basically that a guy inherits his grandma's old house in a remote area of Spain in 1978. They meet the town locals in a bar before heading up to their house in the typical fashion. The next day the two men are hunting when they find an abandon house with a locked door where they find a little mutant girl (not all that mutated, just has ninja turtle hands and buck teeth), so they try to save her by bringing her back to their place to get her some food and a bath.

Obviously, the people who kept her there (see: town locals) are pissed when they find she is gone and they go to that house to try to find her....

From that point on it's just a clusterfuck of "tense" scenes, woods chasing, a confusing ending, and from what I can tell...no resolution to the story whatsoever.
I swear through half of the movie I thought the little girl was going to be a werewolf or something, because she is very feral, was getting worked up at the full moon, and the dog went missing.

It just pissed me off, because the acting seemed good enough...Oldman was typical Oldman, but the story and directing were completely worthless.

Would have gotten a 2/10 without Oldman.

Inglorious Bastard

It's a good face paced war movie, a little ecentric which makes it stand out from others.

7/10

taken



10 character rule still here then

Midnight Meat Train

It was everything they said it would be. Not too sure about some of the CG, but a solid blood bath through and through.

8/10

The Incredible Hulk, with my Dad. The Protecter, which was fuckin' awesome.

Still ripping thru Dexter S2 should finish it tonight.

Killer flick I really enjoyed that one.

Ah, I completely disagree with you on this. I enjoyed it very much. I thought it was very well directed. You seem to be grading this down because you thought it was going to be something and then it was different from your expectations. She wasn't "getting worked up" over the full moon- she was frightened of it because she'd never seen it before.

And if you'd payed attention you'd know exactly what was going to happen at the police station after the film ends.

I was quite impressed with the leader of the family from the village as well. I went into this film knowing nothing and was pleasantly surprised.
