Wilder was a genius and capable of hopping from dark satire to screwball comedy to taught thriller with grace and ease. Check out Double Indemnity, it's one of the best nior thrillers ever filmed

Jeepers Creepers 2.


Mildly amusing, sparsely entertaining, and very intriguing. All in all, a fun time...and a decent follow-up to a very promising original. One of the best movie monsters in a long time for sure.


Rating - * * ½

I thought the second one got a little too goofy. The Creeper was scary in the first one.

Universal Soldier ..

still a fun movie ... good extras on the disk too.

Mangler 2

Really awful little movie.

Even Lance Henrikson is bad.

It's a sad, sad day when those words have to be typed...

There's only a bare bones version over here. I've always really liked that flick.

The Big Lewboski.

I rented that, I didn't get far enough in to the movie to see Lance Henriksen though

Otis- 8/10


That mom is totally not even as impulsive as my mom. I loved it.


However.


*spoiler*
I really wish that it would've turned into a real revenge movie in the end, but I still enjoyed how it was a comedy the whole way.

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

>>: B-

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay - If you liked the first you'll like this one. 7/10


Never Back Down - Liked this one alot more than I thought. 7/10

Yeah, Return, I'd have to second this.
Double Indemnity is one of my very favorite movies of all time, and definately my favorite Wilder movie.

Cool, I've been meaning to track it down anyway but now I really have to - thanks guys :)

Four Rooms

Well, I've got no idea what the hell I just watched...but I can say that it was easily the funniest movie that I've seen in ages. Roth is brilliant!

If you like off-the-wall, vaguely surreal comedy, you have to the check this out. Parts of it are super dark, there's slapstick humor, nice tits...its got something for everyone ;)

Now I'm pretty sure I've seen all of Tarantino's movies, minus My Best Friend's Birthday (but does that even really count?)


Masters of Horror: Sounds Like

It amazes how for the second season of this show, they managed to get a bunch of really talented directors together...then make them all seem exactly the same. I'm starting to think Mick Garris does all of these, then slaps other people's names on 'em.

I did enjoy this to an extent, I was just expecting more from someone like Brad Anderson - Session 9 + The Machinist are among my favourite films, so I had high expectations. The lead actor was really good, but otherwise this really wasnt anything special.


Bringing Out The Dead

Probably one of Scorsese's most underrated movies, and definately one of Nick Cage's best performances. It was pretty slow, but I really enjoyed it.

:eek: This was your 1st time seeing Four Rooms? Shame on you. :D
I love and own it...The "Wrong Man" room with Jennifer Beals is fucking hilarious.

I never really had much interested in it, to be honest. Bought it awhile back just to complete my Tarantino collection, but didn't think it looked all that great.

Couldn't have been more wrong! Had a smile on my face from start to finish...don't think I'd be able to pick a favourite story if I had to :D

Do yourself a favor and buy the Universal Legacy DVD. Great transfer, good commentary, documentary, bonus film (DI remake), etc.

That's this one, right?

If so, I'll probably order it in a day or two.

Charlie Wilson's War

Quite a bit better than I was expecting. It is charming, fun and has some crackling dialog. Not for most people here, but an enjoyable flick nonetheless.

7/10

That's the one.

"Hellboy II: The Golden Army"

Lots of fun

Thanks to Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Grandma's Boy.

duck soup (1933)

Nice. Seen Animal Crackers? I always thought that one was underrated.
A Night at the Opera is good, too.

oh yeah, i have both of those marx brothers sets (which are really pretty solid investments).

animal crackers and a night at the opera are definitely two of my very favorites (and underrated for sure).

Batman: Gotham Knight

I liked it but I didn't love it... I was actually surprised by my disinterest.

A notch below Mask of the Phantasm?

I have been hearing good reports about GK, but haven't watched it yet.

Friday After Next

i had a late work night the other night, so i watched these in this order:

Shaun of the Dead
Team America: World Police (Fuck yeah!)
Batman Begins
The Bourne Ultimatum

Ultimatum is a damn good movie, but after the other 3, it really ended the night on a down note

Glengarry Glen Ross

Great acting and red-hot dialogue, but I found that I didn't really care about the plot or characters until near the end. Still, great movie.

The flick does tend to convey that feeling of alienation towards the middle, but its very strong, performance- and direction-wise.

Oh, no question about it. By the end I was absolutely riveted.

Bender's Big Score- 7.5/10 Very funny. I'm so impressed with how Futurama always manages to be absolutely hilarious, ridiculous and romantic (maybe stretch to say touching) at the same time.

American Pie- 5/10 I had never seen the original one. It's.... really nothing special.

'nuff said.

Or maybe it's just cool how they have so many twists.

The Road Warrior

Shared this one with the kids last night - they flipped out over the Feral child and I think our family Halloween costume theme has been set.
