Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom


A bit disappointing, I was expecting something... different.

Fear X.
Interesting first half, intriguing plot, decent film. Others may find it a bit slow.

It's funny, I knew his speech pattern sounded familiar. He looks different with hair... lots of hair. I never would have guessed it was Gene Hackman :p

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...7.5/10....not the best Indy movie...but still a lot of fun. Harrison Ford looked pretty good and if they hurry, they can get another Indy movie out of him for sure.

The Terminal

7/10

missmacabre 10-14-2008 06:03 AM

IT- not as scary as I wanted it to be dammit.
Exorcism of Emily Rose-bf said it was a scary movie. I couldnt get a decent nap in with all his jumping.
Iron Man- alright for a comic book movie. over hyped.
Lost Boys- Derek didnt like it. I was a little sad to hear that.

Jess Franco's Count Dracula (1971)

Jesus Christ, I thought Fulci used a lot of unnecessary zooms...

...but it had a slammin' cast, and Herbert Lom steals the show as Helsing.

The Hustler

Mr. Newman at his best.

Painfulldeath 10-14-2008 10:42 AM

Just watched Oldboy. It was fantastic. The cinematography, acting and plot are near-perfect. It does have a sick twist at the end that may gross most people out but I don't regret having watched it. 9.5/10.

I also saw House of 1000 corpses. It was original and kept me watching it until the end. Good amount of gore too. 6.5/10

Saw Step Brother with Will Ferrell. Funny as hell. Not intellectually stimulating to say the least but some of the lines they come up with are pure gold! 6.5/10

Kane_Hodder 10-14-2008 11:03 AM

Suspect Zero.
This is a really, really good film, despite having some pacing issues.

Dante'sInferno 10-14-2008 11:30 AM

Finally saw all of First Blood.It was amazing.I've put down the Rambo complete collection on my christmas list.:D I also saw The Bear,i still love it.


Next up Rambo

Quarantine (2008)

I went to the theater today with my friend Kat to see this. I didn't realize, she didn't really want to see it. It was just a way to get me out of the house.

Anyway, the way to really sum this one up, would be to say it's a cross between; I Drink Your Blood (1970), The Blair Witch Project (1999) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). Very entertaining, and very intense. You don't really expect to see the things you do.

Luckily, the movie trailers didn't show a whole lot of it.

The highlight though, was watching Kat scream and flinch. lol, She only saw about 30% of it. The rest of the time, she was covering her eyes. :D

It's worth a watch.

30 Days of Night
The One

Quarantine - This was a good movie theater flick and I doubt I'll ever pick it up. It really reminded me of a haunted house. Lots of things popping out, flashing lights, and scream from the darkness. I think it worked as a Halloween movie, I'd suggest people see it before the 31st and in a dark theater.

Nope, I've done some searching and haven't run across it yet, I'll probably enjoy it but to be honest I'm really not sold on the whole homevideo thing (yes I know it was a professional camera in some of the movies). I liked Diary of the Dead and Cloverfield but thought Quarantine was just alright and really disliked Blair Witch. It will take something super special shot in that style to really get me to love it.

i'm about 100% positive this will swing you around.

i thought this was about 500 X better than Diary in every single way. And i Liked Diary. completely blew me away.

Cool, I hope so, I think Diary was the best shot in that style so far and that's only because of the way Romero made the characters utilize multiple cameras, security footage, etc. I understand that Quarantine is a remake but I've heard that it's almost shot for shot, have you seen both?

no - i only saw [rec] but i'm hearing bad things from people who saw it - and liked [rec]

i'm curious enough to check it out - but i really think you should do everything newsgroups in your power newsgroups to try and newsgroups find it.

Haven't seen Quarantine yet (and, honestly, I probably wont) but the trailers look pretty near shot-for-shot. Looked exactly the same to me.

Feast 2 - 6.5/10
The first one was way better, but it was still a fun splatter fest.

The Happening - 2/10
Had to rent it to see how bad it was....well, it lives up to the hype. :rolleyes:

Did they fix the boom mic showing up all the time on the DVD?

ChainStalker 10-14-2008 09:37 PM

Tonight I watched -- the midnight meat train

All in all, I was impressed. Great story, good directing (I loved the camera work), and a nice refreshing feel to the slasher genre. I thought this movie had some nice classic qualities with a new age twist.

Few bad points. I didn't really like the protagonist very much; I just didn't believe him at times. Also, there was a little to much drama in the movie for me (got bored with a few scenes), but overall, the movie kept me entertained. The story was a little slow building up; however, sets up a spectacular ending.

overall rating 8/10

Roderick Usher 10-14-2008 10:46 PM

Not bad at all. Not terrible good, but an enjoyable October night film.

6/10

[REC] is one of the best horror movies I've seen.

eh, it wasn't bad. it just seemed mostly lackluster after seeing the original.


save your money and rent it, unless you have no way of seeing the original right now.

Right at Your Door.

A drama about a predicament: What if dirty bombs went off in your city, and your spouse was exposed. You've sealed yourself in your house to avoid contamination. He or she shows up at your door. What do you do?

Completely gripping and suspenseful film.

Agree. I just love the story.:) I just wanted to show it to one of my friends who get married last year and they seems just made for each other type. But they left Bangladesh & now happily living in Toronto, so I missed the chance but soon I'll recommend them to see this movie asap. Btw, they always like to blame me for suggesting the weird, gruesome & disturbing films which they felt very uncomfortable to watch!.:D

Are you scared?

This was one major Saw rip off, not that good either.

4/10

Despare 10-15-2008 03:34 AM

Ah I see fortunato, I missed that back there. When you say mostly lackluster is it because it really does pale in comparison or is it because you've seen it all before?
