Carriers (2009). First off, kudos to these film makers for making a PG-13 movie that is both bleak and brutal. Parents and children alike can tormented through their altruistic splendor. Billed as horror, this is more a horror of psychologic dread and paranoia sort of flick. While the storyline of Carriers is not exactly new, instead with subtlety, it it poses the question many of might want to answer when civilization's chips are down: Are the Draconian measures that we must to impose upon ourselves and others in order to survive worth the costs of our humanity? Does furthering the nightmare with acts of inhumanity actually make for a life worth living? In the asking, don't expect a fast-paced thriller, this one takes its sweet and appropriate time getting to where it is going, you know- the journey and all. The acting was quite splendid for this character-driven flick, making for that icky feeling when they make their bad choices and otherwise disappoint us. The direction was solid, and the camera work, while not spectacular, was adept. At the end, we are left with that tumultuous pit in our stomach, pondering the meaning of life when it has turned south. Late.
genru'

The Expendables.
pretty awesome. not quite on par with Rambo, but still a blast.

The Best Years of Our Lives from 1946. Good movie. Three men return home from WW2 and learn a lot about themselves.
Kinda sad, but a good film.

So it was pretty much shit.

that's shit.

But thanks. At least you were honest. :)

not sure where you got that notion, Rambo is pretty hard to beat.

Nightmare on Elm Street 2.

It was easier to watch that its predecessor, and I liked the whole idea of Freddy possessing somebody, but i was annoyed by the diary entry and story that Grady told ignoring the ending of noes1 wherein it was shown to all be a dream.

I like part 2... kinda cheesy,but I like it.

Yeah, #2 was them trying something different...I remember it being pretty dark as well, perhaps even moreso than the first?
I liked that the third was a sequel of sorts to the first one, and while it was the starting point for some of the weirder/more elaborate dream sequences, it was also the start of all the comedy...
But yeah NOES2 was good, I've actually thought about grabbing/watching that since I saw the first one a couple of weeks back.
Hm, I don't think I've watched any films since then.

I'll be checking out Inception and Scott Pilgrim next tuesday though.

I saw Kick-Ass tonight, and it was kick ass!

AHEM! :mad:


:rolleyes:
