Tyler Mane is the guy who played Sabretooth in X-Men, for those who don't know. Hes a pretty big guy.

Watched Wind CHill last night. Pretty godamn good. use the "slow boil" approach by building layers of suspense and occaisional sj=hockers to scare the hell out of you and keep you guessing. very well done and acted.


Watching the theatrical version of Live Free or Die Hard right now. Not as repulsed as i would have thought, but I am looking forward to the unrated version and never watching the pg-13 again.

And he was the oil worker that David Spade fought in Joe Dirt.

Mädchen in Uniform (Girls in Uniform) (1931)

The Searchers (1956)

And, for the record, I believe Casey Affleck's performance as the moody killer in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford equals Javier's and Wilkinson's roles in their respective movies. The trio put up three fiery performances this year, making it unusually hard to choose a "best".

LOL oh yeah thats right.

"Are these queer?"

alky, you inspired me to watch

network (1976)
biting, nearly vonnegutian satire. gigantic acting by a stunning lineup of players and perfect direction by sidney lumet.
wonderful.

The Grudge with Commentary.

Last night watched Disturbia.

Watched Live Free or Die hard, the theatrical version. Going to watch the unrated today.

I was pleasantly surprised. More over the top than the other 3 (if that is possible), but i was expecting rancind monkey shit, and what i got was a pretty decent action flick.

I am looking forward to the unrated version.

It was an excellent night at he New Beverly theater last night. A Great double-bill of hard-to-find slashers

Torso(1973)

The print was totally grindhouse; the picture was stained and scratched and even burnt in a few frames, the sound was fucked, but the film is still a classic. Beautiful locations and lots of nudity suffer at the hands of terrible dialog and ham-fisted exposition. But it is in the long, dialog free sections where this movie shines. These beautifully shot wordless moments are tense as hell and as fine an example of visual storytelling as you'll see anywhere.

7.5/10

Pieces(1982)

Having never seen this one, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I'm really glad to have experienced it on the big screen with a house full of rabid fans. The story is trashy and stooooooopid, but hilariously so. Here it is in a nutshell: A little kid hacks him mom to pieces and blames it on "a big guy" - 40 years later a killer is hacking up co-ed at a college... with a chainsaw.

The chainsaw gore is great, the tits are plentiful, the dialog is fucking hilarious and the plot is retarded. At one point a small Asian man pops into frame and starts kung-fu-ing our heroine...and then he leaves, never to be mentioned again.:confused: And the Completely out-of-the-blue ending makes the Carrie ending seem logical and tame.

6/10 (I loved it, but really can't rate it any higher)

If i remember correctly, this was the one that ends







***SPOILER****









with a frankenstein of women's body parts rending a guy's package with her claw, even though there was not a hint of supernatural in the entire movie?

We watched this for the first time recently, I had been looking for it for awhile and finally found a cheap collection with it on there and I LOVED IT. So completely absurd, its just hilarious. The ending is priceless.

Anyway, last movie watched was Wicked Little Things ~ not terrible I suppose, but I was mostly bored. Nothing new, and nothing particularly interesting.

X Men: The Last Stand.

I decided to give this one another go last night, and after my experience watching it last summer at the theater...I was skeptical. But...I liked it the second time around.

First things first, there was a lot happening all at the same time, yet it didnt look overcrowded like Spider Man 3 did, with its considerably lesser cast.

***(Minor Spoiler Warning)***

Secondly, I have to give some credit to Famke Janssen, for pulling off The Phoenix and Jean Grey-multiple personality and confused-and-dazed character quite nicely. And, believe it or not...I was actually touched by the commemorative funeral scene of Xavier at the school.

Colossus as a character was grossly underplayed, and they made Scott Summers aka Cyclops look like a total wussy throughout the series, and wrote him off early in this one (which is one of my bigger complaints, apart from them not introducing Gambit).

I guess the twist in the ending after the credits roll was to keep the continuation going, but I dont see much future in the series unless they get someone as good as Singer back into this...or else this is headed the Batman-Burton franchise way. I have been keeping tabs regarding the 4th, and from all which I have been reading, it isnt happening anytime soon.

Lets hope Wolverine and Magneto do some justice to this franchise and bring it back on track. My preference - a David Goyer X-Men 4, with either Christian Bale or Colin Farrell as Gambit, and a script which includes the return of Jean Grey, Xavier and Cyclops...in some form or the other.



Rating - *** ½

Fallen.
Good film with a nice, bizarre theme.

Pretty in Pink (least favourite John Hughes movie...) & The Hills Have Eyes (06)

hahahaha, well said.

i saw this one a while ago and was just thoroughly...entertained.
sooooo outrageous in every way.

Hellraiser

12 Monkeys

they are making a Wolverine movie you can guess the title. Gambit is in it forgot who is playing him. Comes out may 2009


Just watched The Day The Earth Stood Still. Great classic liked it. I am sure the remake coming out will be full of CGI and won't live up to the original.

The Spiderwick Chronicles

The Mad - fun popcorn flick. About all I can say about it.

Brushing up on Nightmare on Elm Street, The Changeling, and Night of the Demon this week.

Black Snake Moan

^ Sort of a hidden gem of 2007, in my opinion. I dug it quite a bit.

Spiral. First, let me say... the cinematography is stunning. Equally so are the set designs. I'm a sucker for responsive camera shots, and long-takes in which the camera pans and swings around without edits. I'm also a big fan of strong color palettes. Some scenes reminded me of the set in Hard Candy. I dug the Jazz portion of the soundtrack, but there were a few other musical pieces thrown in there that didn't quite mesh. Joel David Moore was excellent in his role. In fact, the three big cast members were all quite good... but Joel certainly stood out in great contrast (haha... yeah, you need to watch the movie to get why I highlighted that.) I was surprised that Zachery Levi played a role so out of his television fare (I'm a fan of Chuck...) Loved the character Amber Tamblyn played. Very smile-worthy. Her range in this film is outstanding. She definitely has talent.

Oh, and that ending... I won't say anything about it. I thought it was okay, and then I loved it. Does that make sense? Watch the movie and you'll see. I don't want to say that much about it.

Recommended. An indie hitchcockian film with a jazzy soundtrack, strong colour palette, and excellent performances.

The Nameless.

Three Songs About Lenin (1934)

Man with a Movie Camera (1929)

Agreed. I enjoyed it as well, Timberlake wasn't half bad, and the music is great.



Will definitely have to check this one out. Tamblyn has been a favorite of mine since Joan of Arcadia. Would be nice to see some more of her (in something other than a drama for 13 year olds).
