Vacancy it was great but it wasn't bad either.Kept me entertained enough to watch it all but I will say that Luke Wilson should stick to comedy.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force : Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD. I love the show, and I saw it in the theater. The DVD extras are sweet. Buy or rent it, if you like the show. |
The Tripper (Revised)
It's your typical slasher. It has the ensemble cast. It has the unique deaths. It has said cast finding the bodies hours after they were murdered, in a string. It has the killer who never dies. And it has your typical slasher cliffhanger. Sorry if I ruined it for you guys, but what did you expect? The graphic design work in this is absolutely horrid (by this I'm referring to the title cards, credits, and text and overlays in general) - why am I pointing this out? Because it makes the film seem very amatuerish. The cast is fine, the acting is fine and all the other talents behind the film do just fine. The effects work in this (for the 'trips') work quite well, and our implemented into the frames quite excellently. I am fond of the sillohuette and rainbow background effects applied to much of the ending. They were very well done. There is plenty of gore in this one for those looking for that. A good group scene where many limbs go a flyin'. The idea of being surrounded by people, yet still helpless (they are under the influence and unaware of anything, plus the cops blamed any reports on trips) is quite terrifying... yet it was not fully taken advantage of here. The political aspects of the film are not as strong as they could have been either... and unless you know your American presidents, much of it will go past your head. I think David Arquette has talent, but he requires work. With some revision, this film could have been great. As it is, it's just so-so. If your a slasher addict, it's worth your time. If your a horror fan, it might be worth your time... but don't expect much. 7/10 Vacancy is up next. Expect the same opinion-type post. |

Goldfinger - The first real gritty and raw James Bond look came from this one. From the opening sequence to the feeling of revenge for the gold-plated "death", and the ultra cool attitude even when taken prisoner...Sean Connery leaves his stamp on this movie. Bond was never more realistic than this one...add a bevy of beauties and a most ruthless villian with a remarkably outrageous scheme...of course not forgetting the gorgeous Aston Martin...and you got one hell of an entertainer.

Vacancy (2007)
Those were some stunning opening and closing credit sequences! From the very first frame, somehow... from the limited amount of his work I've seen, it reminded me of Hitchcock. Not the movie in it's entirety... but these credit sequences alone. I thought this film was absolutely soaked in atmosphere and tension. From the constant pitch-black visuals, to the hard-hitting sound design. Sort of... Panic Room, meets Identity. I was actually really tensed up during the initial scares (the knocking and light flickering) - it didn't help that my own power flickered during this timeframe (and of course my DVD player decided that it wouldn't remember the spot I left off at...) and my parents walking around upstairs created a knocking-like effect. The masks worn reminded me of the new Halloween feature. I thought the pacing was good, and the short runtime (80 minutes) allowed for a tight film. No fluff. I had heard the ending was terrible, but it wasn't so bad. I expected it to end this way, like most films of this nature do. A better ending would have boosted the rank a digit or so higher, but I'm okay with this. It was a weak point, but not as bad as it was made out to be by some critics. So in the end... strong start, never-boring, tense, atmospheric, with a decline in the end and a slight turn from horror to action. 7.8/10 |

Vacancy was really good and definitely one of the better movies that I seen recently. It was better than Disturbia, Hills Have Eyes 2, 1408 and most of those newer horror/thriller movies. The plot was great and original! The camera views were so realistic! Those surveillance views make it feel so real. The movie will definitely creep you out. Go rent it!

The Mask of Satan AKA Black Sunday (1960)
A truly horrifying and brilliantly nostalgiac film- the first step in an unbelievably remarkable career. Bava did all the camerawork himself, and it shows; every shot, every angle, every pan is perfectly calculated to keep you in suspense. |

But dont get me wrong, Goldfinger is a classic and a favorite. It has the inspiration for Austin Powers' "Random Task" which always made me wonder: when he gets fried, does Odd Job smell like hot dogs or bacon? Oh yeah, I watched Bobby the other night. Pretty good, I am used to ensemble casts being the focus and not the plot, but it was well done. Even miss Lohan did a good job. |
The Number 23 - 6.5/10. The film was above average i thought, but Jimbo Carrey was great in it.

The Invisible Woman (1940)
Fantastic! The Invisible Man legacy has this great, unique twist of sci-fi horror and comedy, and this one is no exception. It was actually very funny, and the storyline, though light, was fun to follow. Highly recommended. A Bronx Tale (1993) 'Twas alright. I expected great, but it really wasn't. Kind of heartwarming, but will be easily forgotten. |
Until Death
good. Van Damme is at the peak of his career if you ask me. he actually knows how to act now. not as good as Wake Of Death, but thats hard to top. |

More fun the second time around. 8/10 Exorcist - The Version You've Never Seen My eldest commented that he still hadn't seen this one, so we sat down and watched it this morning. Captain Howdy freaked him out just a little...it was priceless to see the reaction. I love watching these films with my son. He asks such wonderful questions and is so damned enthusiastic...and allows me to share my enthusiasm with him. 10/10 |
