Vulgar(2000)................good dark comedy.

hills have eyes

Parasomnia(Woof)
 

Finally got to see this flick. I had read a lot of positive stuff (imdb) about it. I have to disagree with them. This movie is an absolute dog (IMO) The story is ridiculous (stealing a virtually comatose girl from a hospital with no probs)
The acting is amateurish and the fx are cheap.

I know Im in the minority. Its just this devils opinion. If you want something superior along the same lines watch The Cell again.

Pusher (1996). This rather simple story set in Denmark gets its oomph from its guerilla camera work and gritty realism. This drug infested tale centers on a very bad week for lowlife drug dealer Frank. As a chameleon sociopath that turns on the charm when need be, we still end up rooting for him as his life sprirals out of control. Desperate times call for desparate measures, and Frank's desperation drives this story to it grinding denouement. This story is of the poor choices that we make in life that never make sense but get made nonetheless, and Pusher brings out this ugly reality with aplomb. The direction was incredible, making for a gripping story. The handheld camera play is not for everyone, but works tremendously well in this flick. The ending of this tale of life gone sour was perfect. Merci beaucoup.

Demon Seed

Computers are evil!

Salvage: Low budget Brit horror. It started off quite strong. I really didn't have any clue as to what was really going on (viral? zombies? aliens?) and the tension was built up quite well. Then the big reveal and I was utterly let down. The disappointment culminated quite nicely with the ending which sucked dead donkey balls. I doubt I would really recommend this one to anyone. It has it's strong points, but it utterly fails by the end.

As an aside, the title makes no sense whatsoever which just adds to the fail of the movie.

Ninja Assassin: This felt like all the ninja movies I watched in the 80s. Cheesy, over the top, violent, and fun as hell. The story is a tried and true ninja plotline, nothing special there. The gore is quite well done. Unfortunately one of the best effects is used in the first scene so the rest of the movie almost feels a bit lacking afterward, but there are still dozens upon dozens of severed limbs flying and gallons upon gallons of blood are spilt. Pretty fun, mindless movie.

Terminator 2

Never ceases to amaze me how well this film was made considering it's a sequel.

Just watched funny man great film cant believe christopher Lee was in it though !

Dead Man's Shoes (2004). The sense of barely constrained dread that exudes out of Paddy Considine's character is damn near palpable. Take that dread and unleash it on a room full of comical knuckleheads with some skeletons to account for and we have this movie in a nutshell. On paper this flick would seem a little flat, but the acting and direction drives this movie forward as if greased with blood. And just when the movie seems to falter, it reinvents itself with fresh vigor. A rather dark and somewhat violent affair expertly blended with pharmaceutical humor, this movie is not for everyone. But for those fans of dark and disturbing agencies, astute viewing will reward the viewer with subtle aspects of this flick that will only add to its cinematic coffers. Late.
