Its been a Slasher weekend for me..

The original Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street 1&2. (youtube 'em)

Unearthed (2007)

>>: C


Cloverfield (2008)

>>: B+

Strange Brew

I love this movie... no I don't know why. Take off hoser.

The Mist.

It is even more beautiful on DVD...and the b/w version kicks some major ass!

This was my second viewing after the theater, and umm...I am kinda on Urge's lines regarding the ending. It was...a killer, to say the least. I kinda felt more impact now, then from watching it at the theater. The emotions it leaves you with at the end...oh jesus...

Quite possibly, one of THE most HARD HITTING endings I have EVER seen in any movie. Period.

I might never be able to see this one again either. Even if I do, I might stop playing it after ***SPOILER ALERT*** they hit the road from Thomas Jane's home.

Truly unbelievable movie, awesome characters, dynamite script and neat direction with mind-boggling effects. If the acting wasn't a little over-the-top and bland at times throughout, this is one movie which DEMANDS a perfect 10 rating.

Death Proof.

Doomsday

was fortunate enough to find a theatre still playing this -
crazy and over the top ..the road warrior meets Escape from new york I loved it.

Superbad..

carrie
the virgin suicides (its been on tv and im gonna watch it 2 more time by the end of the day)

There's a B&W VERSION?! is it on the 2 disc se?

yeah, it rules! I still haven't sen the film in color...it's simply a b/w film in my mind's eye

Doh, you bought the 2 disc SE right?

The b/w version gives the whole experience a feel of a very realistic 50s-60s monster movie. You ll love it!

I was told this was the way Darabont wanted the movie to be made...and I dare say, if this would ve been the final theatrical version, it would have blown the box office!

are you sure. most people won't touch a BW movie with a ten foot pole. it denotes that it's old and boring to most teens and teens take up a huge chunk of movie viewers.

I'm watching it now.... I'm not sure which version I like better though. The color definitely gives that awesome mysterious feeling when people disappear into the mist and stuff... but the b&w version has such an amazing look to it, the way the mist LITERALLY just TAKES over everything it touches.... perfection.

Just watch it. ;)

The Ruins - enjoyed this one. I pretty much agree with what Rod said earlier. I haven't read the book, but the wife has and said it was a faithful adaptation. Nice amount of blood and a few damn creepy moments. And yeah, Jenna Malone is a plus...

7/10

The Ruins – Good, scary, intense. But, something that nagged at me during the movie: why do we sympathize with the main characters? Their attempts to escape are clearly wrong and dangerous.

Q - The Winged Serpent

Love this larry cohen film.

Michael Moriarity give a performance that transcends the genre - in any other movie he'd have won (or at least deserved) an oscar.

David Carradine did a fun job as well (despite his not wanting to do the picture)

DeathWish 2

this movie was cold!.
as good as the first if you ask me. deserves way more recognition than it gets.

DeathWish 4
Bronson goes from a Vigilante to an assassin. this was fun, but paled in comparison to the first 2.

LOVED Michael Moriarity in that one, really was an incredible performance...just a damn fun movie all around. I really should check out more Larry Cohen stuff.

Masters of Horror: Pro-Life

What'd you think? Lots of mixed opinions on that one...I thought it was pretty good myself, but alot of people hated it.

The Ruins.


Yet another great addition to the genre. It has totally believable and sympathetic characters, an excellent script complimented by some kickass direction...perfectly casted actors who give it their best, and the main highlight - great CGI effects. It is claustrophobic...it is intense...it is deeply atmospheric...and it has shocking twists loaded in the last 30-mins or so.

Comes with a very high recommendation from me to Alky, Rod, Doc, Fortunato, Urge, Return, Jenna and any other fan of good, creepy old-fashioned atmospheric horror to the full.

The Silent Flute (AKA Circle of Iron)

Diary Of The Dead....

Great to see Romero in form, this is his best flick in fuckin' years!

Really? Thats been getting awful reviews...I was kind of worried.

It was an ok story, thought it was pretty decent. Acting coulda been a little better, but I'd say it's far from hate worthy.

All positive reviews so far! Damn! I hate to wait for it:mad:.

Mexican Werewolf in Texas

A chupacabra movie...It was pretty goofy...You could very much tell that the 'chupacabra' was a guy in a suit running on his hands and feet, back legs WAY longer than front 'legs', with stationary rubber head (no, that's not a spoiler, it's about 'make up and special effects', this was supposed to be a 'real' chupacabra)...I wouldn't recommend it to most people...But, I don't regret watching it...I've seen much worse :)


Yes, I watch a lot of really bad movies :)

You never add me in the mix.

:(

They Live
..

-Donnie Darko.
-Mulholland Drive.

Monster Man

WAY better than I expected...Many of you probably won't like it (cuz there are so many picky people here :p), but it was different, funny, and had plenty of really good gore...It was a little slow at first, not too bad though, moved really well for about the entire last half hour...Honestly, I just really liked this movie and Dustin did, too.

^ I really liked Monster Man. Still haven't seen part 2, though, and I believe there's even a part 3 no?

The Woods - Not a terrible plot but very poorly executed. Could be decent in the hands of the right person.

The Mist - Haven't read the book but I loved this. Far better than I expected. Now I need to hit up Barnes And Noble.

I honestly didn't know there was more than one, so I looked it up on IMDB.

The one we just watched is the 2003 Monster Man...IMDB lists a Monster Man that was made in 2001, but it's completely different (the 2001 has aliens). After reading about the 2001, I think I'll check that one out, too...Tom Savini had a hand in it, so I figure it's worth giving a chance. Thanks for the heads up.

The description of the one we watched made it look like it would be kinda corny, with monster trucks and rednecks...But, it really wasn't like that...Well, not the way I pictured it...I think anyone who likes gore and 'creepiness' should check it out.

IMDB doesn't list a part two for it, but I'll be checking other sources...I mean it's 2003, so I suppose it's possible :)

And yes, you HAVE to read The Mist...I read it a long time ago, and the movie is an excellent adaptation...Well...Until the very end, anyway. Excellent story.

Sahara, steve zahn is lovely indeed!

Over the weekend:

The Mist
28 Weeks Later
Day Zero

Charles Laughton night at home last night.

We watched :

• Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd,
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
• Island of Lost Souls,
• Mutiny on the Bounty,
• The Strange Door,
• The Paradine Case, and
• Night of the Hunter.

He is a marvellous actor, and he did such amazing work with Night of the Hunter that I am amazed he didnt direct more movies (maybe because at the time Night had bombed at the box office). A true artist in every sense of the word.

Hats off to you, Sir Charles.

over the weekend

The Godfather one of my all time favorites
Unbreakable another favorite of mine
Halloween II
Evil Dead II

Not a bad weekend, and some great movies to go with it
