Django (1966)

Spaghetti Western director Sergio Corbucci turns Franco Nero into an icon (even if it is a "Man With No Name" rip-off) in this, his finest western - unless you like the silliness of the Trinity series. Based on the fumetto (Italian comic book) of the same name about a gunslinger who drags a coffin behind him wherever he goes, Django stands out from it's dry dusty contemporaries by setting the film in a muddy, sloppy environment. The plot meanders a bit and the English-language dubbing is silly sounding, but the Italian-language track plays out with a level of black comedy and brutality rarely seen from westerns of this era. Excellent cinematography, over-the-top violence and groovy theme song make this one a must-see for fans of the genre.

In an interesting sidebar, Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust) served as assistant director.

7/10

The Monster Squad. It was way too short!

The Snowball Effect.

Within the next few days I plan on watching the following. I've written what I'm expecting from each beside the title.

300: I'm expecting a movie that looks stunning, and has amazing action sequences. Nothing else. I'm going to go out and say the plot will be barebones, and the dailogue atrocious.

The Fountain: I expect this to be an amazing movie, but one which is difficult to get through in one sitting. The premise sounds intriguing, and the talent is extraordinary... but it doesn't seem like something I'd find interesting. The medieval parts expecially.

Pizza: Not sure. It's indie and I heard it was bad, but somehow... I think I'll like it. I just hope it's shorter and doesn't spam past 1h 40m.

Choker: It's done to look like a Grindhouse flick, and it is a Grindhouse flick. Looks low-budget talent-wise, but not film-wise. Doesn't suffer from overly shakey DV, or maybe that's hidden by the film grain and flicker.

The Tripper: Looks really fun, with political backdrops.

Blades of Glory: A colourful, weird, witty, stupid-funny (that doesn't rely on toilet humour) flick. I'm hoping for a few laughs.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: I'm worried that since I've seen the 58932 sequels that this will bore the pants off of me, because I will be so tired of the same old plotline used time and time again.

The Hills Have Eyes 2 (1985) (5/10)
Satan's Little Helper (5/10)

Hot Fuzz

This was a fun ride, although not as fun as Shaun of the Dead, so in that respect I was a bit disappointed. There's good action and good laughs, but it seemed to be a little slow moving for spurts here and there during the first half of the film. All in all, it's a fun movie.... It just didn't quite live up to the lofty bar set by Shaun of the Dead.

B+




Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh yes! This was a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed this film from start to finish. It could have used a little more gore, but I can overlook the lack thereof because of the film's unique variation on a slasher film. Overall this was a delight. Dark, funny, cool... Just an all-around really fun movie to watch. I recommend it to slasher fans tired of the same old slasher films and wanting something a little diffferent.

A-

I loved that movie!

Nightmare

Again, another movie that made no sense to me. It has horrible dubbing, poor scripting and a grudge-ish rip off kind of feel.

2/10

And....

The Gravedancers

This, to my surprise, was actually pretty good. Out of the three After Dark Horrorfest films I have seen, this was the best.

8/10

300 - Better than I had assumed. The dialogue was a weak point; feeling too modern and out-of-context in places. As a whole it was overly corny, but that worked in it's favour - generating muliple one-linears, and some segments even managed to be inspirational (and metaphorical.) Visually... it was stunning, although in the action scenes the slow-mo CGI blood looked overly unrealistic and didn't even work in the already stylistic setting. I didn't care for the homophobic nature of it either, expecially since they went out of their way for it (Changing the Spartans stance on same-sex relations for a lousy insult was in bad form.)

Overall...
B+ to A-

Dead Silence- 7/10


I loved it... the effects were scary!

Million Dollar Baby: Great acting, great story. could not go wrong with this one. I am a bit tired of the fatc that the truly great actin gmovies all seem to have this kind of ending, but that seems to be the breaks.


Half Way through SLither, love it so far :)


Marathon Man: Good acting, interesting story, boring over all though. Just took too long.


I didnt think it was homophobic, (i assume you are referring to the comment about athenians being "boylovers"). I dont think you can say in one sentance that the dialogue was too modern and then complain about a very old-school way of looking at homosexuality in the same movie. It cant be authentic but progressive. Just my 2 cents.

Shaun of the Dead


Jeepers Creepers 2

It was homophobic not only in that line of dialogue, but in the portrayal of Xerxes (masculine figure vs. effeminate figure). Your comment about an old-school way of looking at homosexulity is misplaced. Old school, but not THIS old school. The Spartans actually partook in same-sex relations much like the Athenians. I was saying it was homophobic because it completely reversed this aspect of history simply to portray that image. Perhaps due to the adapters feelings, or to connect to their target audience. If anything, this change is attempting to further modernize the film.

The Hideous Sun Demon

I saw the hills have eyes 2. I really thought it would be garbage but I thought it was alright but no way as good as the part 1 remake.

I saw Shooter and thought it was pretty good. I would give that movie a 7/10.

1408. Creepy and entertaining.

Friday The 13th.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

WOW! The opening five minutes alone make this one worth watching. This is a film that could never have come out of Hollywood. There is no morality at all. I never read the book (which inspired Cobain to write the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit") but my wife had and she still thought this was a really cool adaptation.

It's about an 18th Century Parisian with the most profoundly sensative sense of smell in history and his obsessive quest to create the perfect perfume. He is the perfect answer to the staid and done-to-death Dr. Frankenstein-type of wealthy obsessive mad scientist. He is a street urchin, devoid of education and morally bankrupt. The story is also a great metaphor for the contemporary celebrity worship in that the protagonist really is a nobody who puts on a false image (a perfume) and is transformed...only to find that the end which he pursued ultimately leaves him unfulfilled.

It lags in the middle and has several gaps in logic, but those are more than made up for by the fantastic production and costume design, brilliant lighting and cinematography and sheer audacity of filmmaker Tom Tykwer (Run Lola, Run.)

Highly recommended to fans of period costume films.

8.5/10

Big nothing, It's harder to ignore David swimmer than you may think, even with Simon Pegg in the movie, 6/10


Blades of Glorry, I expected to piss myself laughing at least once, but no. 4/10
