The Return was pleasantly surprising, was it not?

Yes it was.

I don't know that I'd really classify it as horror though. More of a psychological-drama.

Nanny McPhee (2005)

Fantastic. A genuinely fun movie.

Pumpkinhead

Where the heck have I been?!? This was stellar!

9/10

Dante's favorite part was mine too, the closet scene. The look on the thing's face was FREAKY.

Uzumaki
Terrible, awful...
God, I can't believe I actually spent money on this.
I read the manga, by junji ito, that was good, but the movie
GRrrrrrr

Awful 3.5 out of 10
and that was only for the efect of the spiral in the sky...

Batman Returns (1992)

In my opinion, superior in every way to its predecessor.

No way.

The Penguin is ok, but no way is he as cool as Joker.

The overall look and feel of "Returns" is better, the plot is as good as the first if not better, Catwoman is awesome, but The Penguin was a sorely disapointing villain.

My Big Fat Independant Movie

Wow... a whole two maybe three funny parts? This one was NOT good.

The Return
>>: C

Just finishing up Trading Places now. Some decent comedy to wash the horrible taste of that last movie out.

I'd like to say I felt that way, because Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors, but I like Danny playing Penguin.

I wanted to like the original more than this, but I just didn't. When I think about Returns, I picture dark, gloomy atmosphere with a solidly evil plot and Michelle Pheifer in tight leather. When I think about Batman, all I see is Jack Nicholson dancing (quite horribly) to a bad 80s Prince song with his boombox toting henchman close behind.

next friday

Spaceballs

"Evil will always triumph... because good, is dumb."

Godzilla: Final Wars

Sin City

Pulse – The Japanese original. Weird, weird movie. I liked a lot of it, but the shift to the apocalyptic ending left me feeling like I was watching two different movies. Worth another viewing, I suspect.

MoH: Haekel’s Tale – Well, the woman who starred in the film looked good naked, and it being a Clive Barker story I saw the undead orgy coming from minutes away, but that wasn’t a terribly good movie.

And Soon the Darkness – Maybe they hadn’t made the stalker/killer movie very much in the 70s, because this version of that story was desperately boring and couldn’t be made today because there was no suspense at all.

MoH: Chocolate – Not a good film. While the plot was clear, hardly anything about the characters’ actions made any sense. Not good.

Sam

Right at Your Door-
What a great movie,full of tension and emotion,strong performances and a relevent,thoughtful plot...superb 9/10.

Taxi Driver

Well I dont think I can agree with Sam on this being the greatest movie of all time, but its definatly up there. DeNiro was incredible, and the rest of the cast was really solid too.

Great movie

"The Slime People."

Classic trash.

Gonna flip the disc over and watch "Creature" now...

Creature...thats William Malone, isnt it? Ive been wanting to see that, let me know if its any good:)

Judge Dredd.

Is creature made in like... 1997 or close? If so, I love that movie! I think the one i'm thinking of is based on a book maybe? I know it takes place on an island location, and it's water dwelling.

sadley texas chainsaw massacer beggings it was better then the remake and number 2 for that matter but it just dident hold up to the first

The Roost
Don't think anyone posted about this on here. It gets a lot of trash on IMDb, but I think it's partially because people don't understand what the point of it was. The entire thing is done up to resemble one of those old "television movie marathons" aired on Halloween night. Complete with intro and outro segments by a host, television static, bleeped out "danger" words, and the indian "no signal" placeholder at the end.

Personally I really like the dust & dirt film effect. Where digital video is washed out and made to look like scratched up film, or an old photograph. It gives it a certain style. The black colours in this film were all grainy, and slightly tinted hues of green, blue and red. Ti West is a very talented director and I'm waiting to see what he does with Cabin Fever 2.

The cast in this film are lacking a certain quality to them, but that also adds to the overall effect. If you like nostalgic, cheesy movies and films that invoke memories of satying up late and catching horror movies on late-night tv when you were 12... see this. I'd say it was worth the watch. :)

Last seen in theatre - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginnings. I know I am in the minority but I liked the movie. I felt it filled in the holes from the remake very well and had a great performance from R.Lee Emry.

Last seen on dvd- Night of the Living Dead (90 Savini version) Again, I think I am in the minority with this as well. Though did not capture the magic of Romero's masterpiece, I felt it hit on the issues of the day at the time. Gore was not over done but had a good amount. It was close to being shot to shot with the original but had enough changes to make it feel like you were watching something different. Did not like the tempo of it as it felt rushed at points but as a zombie fan, it is a must have.

o am a die hard romaro fan and yes the remake us not as great as the orginal but i think romaro was smart to let savini do it respect it more then like it

A friend of mine lent me Scent of a Woman today...might start watching it tonight, pretty excited.

What's it about?

Plot summary lifted from IMDB:

Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with. Charlie is at school and is looking forward to going to university; to help pay for a trip home for Christmas, he agrees to look after Frank over thanksgiving. Frank's niece says this will be easy money, but she didn't reckon on Frank spending his thanksgiving in New York.


Ok, so that doesnt make it sound so hot, but Al Pacino won his Oscar for it. I watched some of it on TV awhile back and was really impressed, so Ive been wanting to see it ever since.

The Darkroom
Wow... pleasantly surprised. The opening is a little rough, but once you get into things, it gets quite interesting. Held my attention throughout, even if the twists were very, very obvious. The final scene did catch me by surprise though, which is good. I like Shawn Pyfrom as an actor, he does a decent job. Nothing outstanding, but he gives off a good vibe. I'd like to see him in other projects then Desperate Housewives.

The Untouchables

Cool movie. Great cast, and an incredible Morricone score.

Return of the Living Dead 3

Well, this was a little better than I was expecting it to be. The continuity works alright, the acting was decent. There were a few spots with decent gore and the story was alright (kind of a Pet Semetary + ROTLD blend) but it works alright. In all, I wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasently surprised. That's not to say this is a great movie though, just better than I had expected it to be.

Man with the Screaming Brain

Well, this was a little bit sloppy, but Bruce Campbell was still pretty entertaining. The script seemed to have some holes in it and the plot felt rushed. If you look at it as a cheesy B-movie, you won't be too let down, but if you go into it expecting Bruce Campbell's best work you will be. Ted Raimi does a pretty good job in this as well.

Deep Red
The Marine
The Prestige

I watched an instructional video on how to drive a forklift today. It was from germany, at one stage the driver was carrying a sheet of metal on the forks and had to stop quickly, sending the sheet into another guy cutting him in two, He then went around a blind corner to fast and stabeed one of the forks through a guys chest who was holding a chainsaw, the chainsaw was going and the driver kept driveing. Then the chain saw hit something and cut the drivers head of, the fork lift kept going and another guy got stabbed with the other fork, then they guy with the chainsaw had his arm cut of by a piece of sheet metal sticking out and the chainsaw crept along towards the guy who was cut in half, and his torso was cut in half verticly. The fork lift continued out of the warehouse and down the street.

8/10

I've seen that too. It's pretty funny.

First Blood..

The Serpent and the Rainbow

The Secret (2006)

Interesting and enlightening documentary.

Jekyll + Hyde (2006)
Is it wrong that I enjoyed this so much? I believe it could have definitely gotten a theatrical release, no problem. Is it perfect? No, not close. Is it a good movie? That depends on your taste. I'd say it is at least worth a watch for the visuals. A very, very stylishly directed horror featuring a model-cast (who's acting is decent enough). The music selections and sound effects are equally excellent for a movie of this budget. The gore is done well, and the modern take on this old classic is refreshing. Could it be done better? Of course. Give this one a chance.
