Hot Fuzz.
While I won't be rushing out to buy this quite as quickly as I did Shaun of the Dead (had the UK dvd prior to the films release here...ha) This one, I will be adding to my collection. As per usual, the two leads work pretty well together.
The comedy ranges from subtle to over the top, reverse references aplenty...the action sequences are actually quite impressive too. You hadda love Timothy Dalton too.
Some good/fun twists, and the same cross-genre success rather than failure.
Not short of splatter.
The only reason I say I didn't like this quite as much as Shaun is because that film set the bar so damn high...
Was the sound turned up stupidly high in anyone elses cinema for this?

Overall very good.

Not really...I mean, there's elements of horror/splatter, but nothing really that screams "super troopers", more odd couple kinda thing...but, not really even like that...I'd suggest seeing it one way or another, I think most people that have watched SHAUN or SPACED and liked those will enjoy this one...the director, and writing stays pretty consistant.

"Wicked little things" 4/10

Yet another good horror story wasted...


This was one of the few horror movies this year i was looking forward to the most. :(


One thing that really pisses me of:

Why is it that most Directors/make-up artists think it's good enough to color the actors faces grey to make them look like zombies??? :mad:

Why do horrorfans like zombie movies? Isn't it pretty much because of the zombies?

I mean, why bother making a zombie movie if you don't even have some decent-good-awsome make-up effects, no matter how good a script you've got?

Conclusion: Without good make-up effects you can't make a good zombie movie. Only bad/lame/laughable ones.

Sadly enough, not many directors has gotten that into their thick sculls yet and probably never will. I guess they don't find the horror audience to be very picky. Or maybe they just don't know their audience very well, or maybe they just don't give a shit... SCREW THEM ALL TO HELL!!!! :mad: :mad:

Fearless.
Pretty good...not all that great.
Kinda reminded me of "shenmue" in parts.
Great action..but not his best.
Loved seeing a divided staff used, not enough of that.
Nice music, authentic enough sets/scenery.
A good watch, but I wouldn't buy it.

"Ghosts That Still Walk"

one of my favorite weirdie-cheesies from the mid-70's. god bless it.

DP McCoy 04-01-2007 03:54 PM

Flags of our Fathers-
I'm afraid this didn't match up to my expectations.I thought the performances of the lead actors were a little bland and uninspiring,the pace was fractured and the editing was confusing at times.The movie did have some good points,the cinematography and C.G.I at times was breathtaking and the Battle scenes really hit home,a good solid effort but not great.6.5/10.

:confused:

It seems like you might have missed something. After the end of the movie, they make it clear who Kaizer Soze is. No one should have any doubt. :confused:

Turistas

This was a little slow moving, but not bad. I think I prefered Hostel, but not by much as they were basically about the same to me. The acting was decent, the gore was decent, the story was unoriginal because Hostel beat 'em to it.

B-



Rocky Balboa

Well, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but then again it wasn't as good as Rocky 1,2,3 or 4 either. I'd put it right about on par with Rocky 5, which is a cut below the rest of the franchise. It's still an entertaing film, but not something I'd run around recommending to everyone I come in contact with.

jonny got his gun. heavy, heavy going but one of the most powerful messages in a movie. if you are in the mood for it it's brilliant, if not you'll hate it.

The Chair


It was a LOT like Shocker, but instead of a convict, it was a warden who was executed in the chair when the prison inmates rioted...It wasn't a great movie, but I'm not sorry I watched it...It was worth watching...once

Watched Shaun of the Dead again last night and I laughed more than I did the first time! Love that movie.

Kane_Hodder 04-02-2007 09:13 AM

I got my first view of Battle Royale and I must say I am quite impressed by it.

I've seen this movie too many times. Undoubtably a modern classic.

joshaube 04-02-2007 12:38 PM

The Hamiltons...
Ugh... not reccomended. It was alright, but I was expecting this to be the best out of the series. I've only seen two so far, but Dark Ride sure topped it... and I have no doubt all the others will too.

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter


This was a good concept executed on little to no budget. The plot was kinda chaotic & nonsensical, the gore suffered badly from the lack of budget and some of the actors were terrible, but there were a few moments here and there that were pretty funny & I thought the actor that played Jesus actually did a pretty good job. When using religion as a theme, it'd be very easy to cross lines and become simply offensive and/or blasphemous, but I think this film played that aspect of things alright. I don't think it would offend too many people, other than the ones that are offended simply by the film's existence in the first place. I didn't really notice anything sacreligious or anything.

In all, it's about what I expected, which is a cheesy, low budget vampire flick. Not horrible, but not good either.
