Child's Play 2

So, I have to say, this is the second sequel today that I found more entertaining than the originals. This should be in everyones collection or on their to-buy-list.

Phantasm III

Fun movie, got the DVD, was a little disappointed that it was a "matted" widescreen and so the full-screen VHS shows more of the image on top and bottom. That said, though, the image is fine and the movie sounds REALLY good. With commentary from refined Angus Scrimm and a somewhat jaded but funny A. Michael Baldwin. Some would describe this as "not a movie but rather a reunion party on film" .....In this regard, Phantasm III is enjoyable, and it is nice to see so many players from the original classic come back to get paid.

I especially like the first 30 minutes, which introduces us to the major characters and then picks up right at the end of Phantasm II...we get hearse crashes, dwarf-blasting, Mike, Reggie, Jody and the Tall Man, a "good" sphere, possessed zombies, and a bunch more stuff. I don't think the movie gets better than that first half hour, it becomes a little silly, but the opening is strong enough to make the whole movie watchable.

A favorite moment is when Reggie wakes up after the attack of the Tall Man, who opens a spacegate that scorches the walls black after it disappears. Reggie thinks the Jody sphere is talking to him like it was talking to Mike; he carries the sphere over to the scorched walls, shaking the sphere to see if he can get Jody to speak to him. It squeaks but can only get out a word or so. "Christ--now I'm talking to this damn thing," Reggie says. "Sure fucked up my hallway..."

Child's Play 3

Not as good as the first or second, but a worthwhile watch, at least once, for fans of the series. Just don't expect too much out of it because it's not going to quench your craving. This is where I think the series should have ended personally.

5/10

Spaceballs - 9/10

hillarious, i'd never seen it before so it was even more awesome. "i see your Swartz is as big as mine." i died then.

The River Wild - 8/10

reminded me why i like Meryl Streep and why i dispise Kevin Bacon (excluding Tremors and Footlose).

Ravenous (again)...I love that movie! Funny and horrible (well, I think it's funny anyway).

Ghost Rider

Well, I was never a big fan of the comic book so it wasn't much of a surprise to me that I was no fan of the film either. Nicholas Cage does alright, but the whole concept/story of Ghost Rider is just ridiculously stupid that I just can't get into it. The FX were obviously CGI, but done pretty well. The fight scenes were pretty lame. All in all, this was one to skip.

freddy v jason, 5/10. the makers came up with a good concept but that's where it ends.

Reno 911: Miami.

I never saw the show so I didn't know what to expect.....but this is one funny ass movie.

The last movie I watched was Dark Water (Unrated). I has seen bits and pieces on tv, but had to get it on dvd to get the whole story.

jenna26 06-18-2007 12:07 PM

The Dark Hours ~ a surprisingly good effort, not very original, but well-acted, and well-plotted, fairly strong characters and very suspenseful.

The Rockville Slayer ~ Pretty terrible. ;)

Mortuary ~ the end is awful....well, okay....the whole movie is pretty damn bad....:p but actually entertaining....its dumb fun. I enjoyed this movie more than I should have, I admit it.

The Quiet. 08/10

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...ML._AA240_.jpg


I rented this movie thinking it would be another steamer from Elisha Cuthbert, ala The Girl Next Door. Boy was I in for a surprise!

The movie is one of the most surreal, disturbing and deeply atmospheric ones I have seen in recent times. Elisha turns in a really powerful portrayal of a psychologically disturbed teen, and alongwith Camilla Belle, tightly grips this movie from start to finish.

I cannot say much about the plot because it has quite a few twists and turns throughout, but let me say this much...this movie is not for the ordinary viewer. Some will find it slow, some others will find it weird...others might feel repulsed...but this is a set of images which will touch a raw cord, a raw nerve somewhere in your body.

Highly recommended for people who loved Requiem for a Dream and Session 9 -esque movies. For others, especially pre-20 normal-life leading teens, this is better left alone...this was a sure-fire contender for the "Visually Challenging 100" in terms of pure psychology ripping alone.

Recommending to alky, Moth, Despare, Return, Roderick, swiss tony, Doc Faustus, newb, et al. (No Posh...this one is not for you, trust me on this)

Blood and Chocolate


It seems it's rather difficult to make a good horror movie with anything less than an R rating. This PG-13 film is no exception. The CGI tranformations looked lame. The characters were bland. The ending sucked. No gore at all. There was not much going for this one...

thanks for the review, ill try and see this one

Vodstok 06-19-2007 10:34 AM

Watched about half of the Libertine. Got bored, found something alse to do. It is slow and meandering, and REALLY boring past the first 20 minutes, which is a huge shame, because the stylism in it is awesome (they gave everything a darkened, green tone, and the entire movie is grainy, like a turn of the century film from the early 1900s) And, well, Its Johnny Depp, so of course he was excellent, but the movie itself was just dull.

monty python and the holy grail.......... ive never gotten sick of this. a classic.
