Silent Hill

Amityville Horror (the original).

Pretty decent but I liked the remake better (yep sue me :) ).
James Brolin (motherfucker was intense!) is way more convincing than Ryan Renoylds but I thought the story and effects were handled better in the remake. The original is was a bit to drawn out and overlong for me. But like I said it was decent and I enjoyed it.

The Amanda thing was OK, but chaining the detective to the wall just goes against EVERYTHING that Jigsaw "teaches". There is no weay for him to redeem himself, to learn a life lesson. I thought it was pretty dumb, despite the movie being better overall than #1.

Didn't he give the detective a chance to redeem himself by sitting and talking with/listening to Jigsaw? He only ended up in the chains because he decided not to talk with Jigsaw and save his life. It wasn't about the kid because the kid was set free anyway.

first time seeing Army Of Darkness

9/10
Raimi and Campbell pull it off again. fucking hilarious.

Braindead - aka Dead Alive
fun gory flick

Phalanx 10-11-2006 10:50 PM

Ultimate Avengers, watched it with my brother.
Still enjoy this one, I like the change of scene - I'm a big "Ultimates" and Ultimate Marvel Universe fan. Good decent introduction to a few MU charactersm with some interesting twists.
Solid storyline, GREAT music, and fucking excellent animation...and IMO the best version of the Hulk ever seen onscreen.
Hope to see the sequel soon.

How dare you?!?!

Haha. Dude, he fucking SUCKED in Saw! That part where he's laying on the floor reaching for the phone and crying about his wife or whatever is some of the worst "acting" I've seen in a studio produced film in years.

GorePhobia 10-11-2006 11:52 PM

I just put in Stay Alive, haven't heard many things about it. Prolly will suck but I am bored.

bwind22 10-11-2006 11:53 PM

Lucky Number Slevin

I liked it. Pretty fast paced & violent. Lots of big names & a good storyline. I may be biased because I'm a big Josh Hartnett supporter (He's from my hood) but I thought this was probably his best acting job in a starring role. (I really liked his part in Sin City too, but it was barely more than a cameo.) Bruce Willis, as usual, was excellent too and I was surprised to find that Lucy Liu didn't really annoy me as much as usual. Good acting, directing, violence, story... All in all, a really solid, entertaining film.

It wasn't as terrible as I was expecting a PG-13 horror film starring Malcom (in the Middle) to be. At least it's a fairly original concept... Let me know what you think after you watch it all.

GorePhobia 10-12-2006 01:14 AM

Well.

Stay Alive

The movie was slow in the begining. Alot of cut away death scenes. But it is natural for a PG-13 horror flick. I liked the fact that they used fuck alot more then normal. There is definately an okay ammount of blood. The acting is alright. Not the best ever but when is it great in horror flick. The plot is definately original and I like how the story went. Its gets alot better the last half hour of the movie.

I will give it a B-/C+

the thing i didnt like about that film is it didnt have very much action. i went into that film expecting Bruce Ass Kickin'

The Mothman 10-12-2006 06:48 AM

Doom
7.7/10

i really liked this one. The first half of the movie was pretty stupid, and i was expecting more stupidness, but man did it get good. sure, it had a really stupid part here and there, but damn was some of that action and gore cool. beat the shit out of that atrocious silent hill.

Well, it's a far cry from Kill Bill or Hard Boiled in terms of fast paced action, but I guess I didn't go into it expecting anything like that. I was expecting a cool hitman story and that was pretty much what I got. There wasn't a ton of fighting action (none really), but there was a good deal of violence and people getting killed and that compensated for me. I liked it. :)

The Mothman 10-12-2006 08:05 AM

true. my favorite part is when bruce just stands there infront of the wall, the guys bust through and he takes them out. i just wish there was more of that because that was bad ass.

Hellraiser 2 was better imo.

Phantom of the Opera (1989)

Love this version! One of Englund's best non-Freddy roles.

I'm not a huge fan of Nekromantik. It definately has the disturbo factor, but that's only due to it's uncreative animal torture scenes and bizarre and violent sexual themes.

The point was forced on me, and there was no way to enjoy- or even respect it.

I don't understand why this film has gotten such a following. I've seen so much more done with so much less and the movie was pretty boring most of the way through. Rented it from Netflix, gave it a 2/5.

JP500 10-12-2006 07:44 PM

Tremors.Picked it up at Wallmart for about 4 dollars.

Dead or Alive - Final

kind of a goofy film. I probably should have seen the first two first

Ending of the first one was amazing.

Last watched the original TCM and Meet the Feebles.

Are You Scared?

A really shitty rip off of the Saw films. A man kidnaps 6 teens and locks them in a warehouse. He sets up cameras all around them and tells them they are involved in a hidden camera reality show called "Are You Scared?" Then he has them face their fears and people die. It was really bad.

D- (That's only for effort. Atleast they tried)

re. DOA ... were the 1st two more violent or anything ?
i found the third extremely tame for a miike film

Vodstok 10-13-2006 06:34 AM

8mm. I have never seen it on anythign other than tv, which would be like only ever seeing Se7en on tv, where half the good stuff was cut out. the worst part was they cut out throat slashing, beatings, etc., and this was on FX. FX! the channel that brought us the sheild, where shit and dickehead fly around like bugs, and mackey perpetrates someof the worst violence ever filmed, but nicholas cage smashing tony soprano's head with a gun is too graphic...

well, just the nature of the film - its censure fodder anyway - you know they'll be all over it - like a TV safe release of Deep Throat

Vodstok 10-13-2006 06:56 AM

Yeah.. bree had it pegged right off, the acting and everythitgn is great, but with all that shit going on, not getting to see the payoff is incredibly unsatisfying. Christ, the scene with Machine gettin goffed finally was like a wet fart...

urgeok 10-13-2006 07:33 AM

i forgot - i also watche The Pink Panther Strikes Back

this is my personal favorite in the series.

it hasnt stood the test of time very well but i remember laughing until i cried at the 'dentist scene'

so it may not technically be the best one but for the sake of nostalgia - it is for me ..

Vodstok 10-13-2006 07:41 AM

A lot of the old pink panther movies were just a little to 60's fare for me... Peter sellers was genius, but the rest was usually pretty retarded.


"What are you doing with that minkey?"
"Minkey?"
"Yes, the minkey."
"You mean the monkey?"
"Thats what i said! Minkey!"

urgeok 10-13-2006 07:50 AM

yeah, they are pretty dated and comedy (in some cases) has become more clever at mixing slapstick with more sophisticated humor - in a much more effective way ... but i grew up with these pink panther flicks and at the time - they were fresh, origional and funny. thankfully i can still call on the memories of the experience of seeing them back in the day.

part of the humor was that he was far nastier than that
very arrogant all the time being wrong..

it was more like :


"What are you doing with that minkey?"
"Minkey?"
"Yes, the minkey."
"You mean the monkey?"
"Minkey, yes, that is what i said , you idiot!"

Phalanx 10-13-2006 08:14 AM

Layer Cake.
It was ok, but personally I think that since lock stock, I've liked this guys films less and less. Great cinematography, and a really good musical score...some funny characters, but I think the plot was a little too convoluted at points, with random characters from the past and present being referred to I was left thinking "what? who?" a few times too many I thought.
The overall plot was ok, but to me there was just something not very likeable about the film. It's "ok", but I could live without seeing it again.

The first one had a little more punch to it and there were some sick parts but it was no Ichi as far as that goes. I have the trilogy, pm me if you want to... borrow... the first two.
