Yep, the first one was loaded with plenty of black humor. The second one went into overload mode, which made it look much inferior. The black guy wasnt funny. People might have laughed out loud at his antics, I didn't. Some of the gags were real eye-rollers. The first one is one of my modern-day faves, this one left a lot to be desired.

You're meant to nitpick and analyze the plot and thematic devices used in the film about as much as you should for a porno. Oddly enough all the films in question involve an inordinate amount of flying semen...

(re-reading my own post) I dont think I mentioned any oscar worthy stuff?

And yes, I really don't "get" the Feast movies at all. Tsk tsk...poor me. :rolleyes:

i understand perfectly that the sole point of these films were to lampoon the genre and push the envelope of bad taste as far as possible.

in the fisrt film it succeeded. it felt fresh and fun.
the second film felt like it was made by giggling school boys trying to offend their grandparents.

i get what they were doing - but an endless string of gross out set pieces designed to offend (and aimed at a demographic that have already seen it all) collapsed on itself, taking me out of the movie completely.

feast 2 was the iceage 2 of horror films.

more isnt always better.

My exact thoughts. Thanks, Urge.

You just thought it was so clever you used it twice. ;)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That movie was all kinds of funk so I need to watch it again.

Cat In The Brain

Bit of a mess really but I enjoyed it.

Another State Of Mind

Awesome! If you're into 80s HC you've gotta check this out.

Loved it so I am tossing it a rec.

Watch this film - Elvis, Chrono, Return, Urge, Newb, NE, Doc, Fortunato, Rayne.

Desperado.

Great film.

Not bad for what it was, some pretty cool effects here and there. Performances were average, but yeah it was an ok watch.

Black Dynamite (2009)

Dynamite!....Dynamite!

A Superb Spoof! An explosive of comedy that will definitely burst you into tears of fun! Plenty of hilarious lines & scenes that will keep you laughing even after it ends.

Highly Recommended! If you haven't seen it yet...give it a watch asap.

Almost this year's another Transformers 2!

Unleashed (2005). Expecting a slightly dramatic fight flick, instead i was treated to a great story with some occasionally great fight scenes. Jet Li, Bob Hoskins, and Morgan Freeman put forth some pretty strong performances, with Hoskins role as a mob thug made believably vile. The audio was awesome, with the fight sounds painfully believable. The cinematography was first rate as well. The story itself was good. Overall this was a pretty darned good flick. Ashe.
