Ditto that....I watched it last night on Fear.net On Demand.

Near Dark

Can't believe I had never seen this little gem (though in my defense, it is pretty hard to find in my neck of the woods). Loved every second of it, and Jenny Wright was (is?) soooo purdy.

The Illusionist. I really like this one. Paul Giamatti and Edward Norton are great, Rufus Sewel is an awesome villain and Jessica Biel...



well, she was there. I guess that is worth something... Shes just a bit too skinny and horse-toothed for my taste.

Shriek If you know what I did last Friday the 13th
5/10 It was a good turn off your brain comedy but it brings nothing new to the table its pretty much a duplicate of Scary Movie.

catch all the Aliens crossover ?

Why no! But now that you mention it.... :p

Equilibrium

I watched this last night, I was disappointed how it ended up focusing more on the action than the story line, not a very good balance by the end. And not enough detail on the underground.

6/10


Once apon a time in America

I just finished watching it, it was the first time I have seen it. I wish there were more movies being made today to this standard. It actually gave me some feeling of the characters as well as a lot of love and hate. That's just the story. The cinematography was amazing,. maybe I could be critical of the editing though.


8/10

They were both made in the same year, so it's hard to say which one duplicated which. However; Scary Movie did a better job of it.


As for me the last movie I saw was Dark Corners on dvd,
I bought this due to it being incredibly cheap.. it gave me some ideas for my photography work but did nothing else for me.

Watched Waxwork because everyone here seemed to love it.

I did not.

It did not age well. Some pretty bad acting in it.

It's the whole smug camp thing- it's so hard to do well.

Rocky Horror did camp well.

IMO Waxwork & Night of the Creeps were just over the top stupid.

Watched two more from the 50 Movie Pack of Horror Classics:

Creature From the Haunted Sea - what an odd little movie!
Nightmare Castle

I didnt care for Waxwork either. It was a cool idea, but it wasnt executed very well (it was very hard to watch with my friend who had a hardon for it), and the end was just godamn retarded....

I think this is the same film released under the title "rogue assassin" here, with Jason Statham and Jet Li?
Yknow...there was another film I thought looked great from the trailers, similar theme, at least looked like a fun action romp that I would get a kick out of - it was called ECKS VS SEVER.
Funny thing is, the amount of similarities that happened with these 2 films.
Both starred people that had been in pretty good movies ('cept maybe Lucy Liu), both had great looking trailers, both seemed like they'd be kickass action flicks...ha, and I turned them both off after about 20-30 minutes.

Honestly among the films I will never bother with, or remotely recommend.

Hey just wondering if anyone in the states caught the movie "THE SIGNAL" yet?
Came out a while back, and I thought it was great...really gritty and crazy...nice soundtrack.
Anyone?

Haven't seen it yet, but I want to.

Definately check it out...it's quite brutal, but I love it.
Check it out if you liked Battle Royale and series 7 - it's like those with a "weird" twist.

Haven't seen either of those, but I'll still check out The Signal. Thanks, cheebs!

Vault of Horror
Mulholland Drive

fun stuff!

Demons

You know, I think I've grown away from this kind of thing...would have LOVED this a couple years back, but as it stands I was pretty lukewarm about it.

Maybe I was just in the wrong mood...but at least give me some semblance of a plot, or characters that are a little bit more than cardboard clones? Sure, the gore was fantastically done - but it takes more than that to make a good horror movie, IMO.

I didn't really hate it, but I can't see why it gets so much praise. Other movies have done the same thing far better.

Are You Scared?- I fell asleep

Angel Heart- I thought it was better when I watched it the first time.
All I saw this time were all the body doubles...man, I had no idea they needed 50 people to film sex scenes and STILL Rourke looked bad:eek: Amazing.

Waxwork- another one that was better the first time I watched it.

Secrets and Lies/ Career Girls- too fucking dismal. Captured bleak, fucked-up life perfectly.

Catacombs- better than expected, I would actually recommend this movie sheerly on the ending:)

Midnight Meat Train- brilliant, gotta love the twisted intellect of Clive Barker:cool:

Like Ferox I found Midnight Meat Train to be predictable and populated with wooden characters.

Catacombs- is that that Fearnet original? Just downright awful.

boring as hell

I guess I am the only one that was yelling 'Hell Yeah!' at the end:D

fucking loved it!!:)

I was yelling "Hell Yeah" at the end........because it WAS the end. ;)

_________
:D

Was that the one set in Paris? My wife liked it. I wasnt too terribly interested.

yes...it was
it had promise....but then just ended up as one big chase scene through the tunnels.....YAWN

Spider.

A bleak tale of madness, isolation & secrets directed by David Cronenberg, starring Ralph Feinnes, Miranda Richardson & Gabriel Byrne.

An understated film told with precision & detail. I liked this much better than the histrionics of his more overt horror films. Really shows what a masterful director Cronenberg is.

Yeah..it was my 2nd or 3rd experience with Cronenberg's cinema. Though bit slow but I liked it too. Ralph Finnes was brilliant with the role.

Last seen movies:

Trauma (2004)

>>: C


Eugenie..The Story of her journey into Perversion (1969)

>>: C-

Philosophy of a Knife (2008)

OMG!:eek:

I have open a new thread just for this movie!?!

http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36358

>>: B+

See, a lot of people around here would say that, but I don't find films full of detail like this to be slow at all. I find reality fascinating, and when a movie takes the time to show the details of the working of a mind and the unravelling of a story that's very exciting to me.

And you were watching Demons instead of Raging Bull why?

:)

Now that I've watched Demons...I'm wondering the exact same thing :p

L. A. Confidential

Now THAT is what I call a script.

The Brave

The only movie Depp directed with cameos from Iggy Pop and Marlon Brando. I enjoyed it but it certainly wasn't a feel-good film.

Hellraisor

8/10

The Acid House

7.5/10

No shit- great flick. I picked the 2-disc up the day it came out.

Subject Two


Amazing film. Modern rumination on the Frankenstein story. Basically a dialogue between creator and creation with some interesting plot twists here and there.

Well done & interesting.

Jour De Fête

My first expose to the work of Jacques Tati...and it certainly wont be my last. I haven't laughed this hard in a very, very long time.

Have you seen this one Alky? Seems right up your alley.

I'm not Alky and I haven't seen that one, but I have seen Mr. Hulot's Holiday- you'll like that.

The Spring.

Kyle MacLachlan and his son find themselves in a small out of the way town that is closely garding a secret - they have a spring that has healing powers - a fountain of youth.

not too bad at all for a 2000 made for TV movie - pretty decent cast. kept me interested. felt like a decent x-files episode.
