Love that flick - totally underrated. Tony Scott's lurid and frenetic lensing mixed with Tarantino's snappy dialogue and story-telling. Full-on ass-kickery. 8.5/10

300-Visually incredible,each and every frame is beautifully rendered and the battles were stunning,not much in the way of depth but who cares?A beautiful Juggernaut of a movie.8.5/10.

Oh, for sure. Fiery dialogue and intense action throughout. I loved it.

The Seventh Victim (1943)

A superb character study and a terrifying glance into the subkect of temptation. Not Lewton's finest by any means, but certainly up there.

AsylumSeeker 03-27-2007 02:04 PM

The Dark - Great acting, beautiful scenery and cinematography, great idea, slightly weak script, and the ending...arggh! If you watch it, just pretend the last minute doesn't exist and you'll be happier in the long run. Reminded me of Silent Hill. Totally different film, but the mother rescuer, the dark/light worlds, and religious psychos all touched the other.

watched the sequel of that last week. it used to scare me senseless. i have to tell you, when the baddie turned into a demon and his face melted at the end the tears were running down my face. budget issues! on topic, watched demon seed the other night. it was okay, but i prefer the simpsons version

alkytrio666 03-28-2007 08:22 AM

If we're speaking of Amityville II: The Possesion, I find the flick terrifying, and horribly underrated.

Rocky Balboa 7.5/10

Am I a complete moron or was this a pretty entertaining flick? I've seen all the Rocky movies, always hoping there will be some carryover from the sensation I had watching the original in the theater when I was 6 years old. The nostalgia factor worked like a charm on me, so I must be getting old.

Sly's directing was excellent up until the fight sequence, where he substituted fast cuts and silly variations in color and grain in a ham-fisted attempt to add a "youthful vitality" to the typical Rocky fight. It came across as an old man's half-baked (and failed) effort to contemporize a film that didn't need it.

I'd rank it 2nd overall in the series.

"The return" 5-6/10


What an odd movie.

The Prestige

This was a very good film. In my opinion, it might be Christian Bale's best yet. Hugh Jackman is good too. The story is very interesting and the acting is good. Christopher Nolan is rapidly becoming one of my favorite directors. There's no gore, but the story is still quite dark. All in all, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Great film. Nolan hasn't let me down yet. I tremendously excited to see what he does with The Prisoner. He's one of three or four people who could actually do this one right.

I wasn't too crazy about Following, but other than that everything he's done has been pretty bad ass.

Dracula vs. Frankenstein, and Phantasm.

Xistenz- 9/10 Lack of action lost points, but a cool movie, great ending.

9/10

Event Horizon- It wasn't scary, and it was hardly hellish. 6/10

The Marine- 5/10 as far as mindless unrealistic action films go, it was fine.

The Wickerman (old)- I hated every minute of it. 3/10 sorry, i just hated it.

Death Tunnel...Last night


It really wasn't THAT bad...I enjoyed seeing the inside of the building and I liked the way they wove the actual history into it...It was definitely worth watching...Although, a documentary about the place would have been just as good, or maybe even better...The stories about it are very interesting

I just about went crazy trying to purchase a copy of this one, it was difficult to find but I wanted it really badly...We finally got it...It was disappointing...



I'll admit that my expectations were probably too high by that point, though

EDIT:...I was talking about City Of the WALKING Dead (AKA Nightmare City) here, which is Lenzi, not Fulci...Fulci's City Of The LIVING Dead is AKA Gates Of Hell, which we love...Sorry for the confusion...I REALLY need to start sleeping

i had a copy that i bought alongside house by the cemetery but i can't find it. i liked house by the cemetery but just didn't get round to the other one. probably just as well as they were both vipco releases and therefore inevitably watered down. come to think of it i have a lot of vipco video nasties, including the zombie flesh eaters trilogy. maybe some day i'll get round to buying it

Well the forum that I'd un-officially deflected to is down right now, so I guess I'm back for awhile.

Watched Dust Devil for thev first time a couple days back...fantastic movie. In fact, I watched it again yesterday.

Today I watched Voice of the Moon which was a pretty decent little documentary. No dialogue/narration, but the score was great and the images were (at times) really powerful.

Just finished watching Slither, which I really enjoyed. Lots of nice cheesy, gory fun with a great twist on the old formula(s)

"ZOMBIEZ" .....truly, a modern horror classic. Or maybe just a reasonably entertaining piece of trash.
