hammerfan - I noticed that as well. I kept getting some horrid documentary because I ordered ONE. Ugh..
Anyway, keeping on topic, the last horror film for me was Midnight Meat Train, and non-horror was Ken Burns' The War

Kungfu Panda.

Armageddon.

Poltergeist
The Jerk

There will be blood

Hey folks- look a few pages back at Chrono's comments on the movies she watched. It would be cool if everyone wrote a few words about what they thought of the films they watched- just as guidlines for others. Doesn't have to be a 10 page essay- just a few words....

I agree....I always try to give a rating or at least some comment on the movie.

A Mighty Wind



EDIT 'cause Newb asked me to: Another hilarious Christopher Guest mockumentary, though I thought it was a bit of a break from his other films (I've yet to watch Waiting for Guffman). The music is great, the usual cast perfect in their ridiculous but endearing roles (Eugene Levy in particular... it's a shame he'll probably only be remembered for the dull American Pie franchise).

you missed the two comments above yours.;)

Really?? Hmm... yeah, I'll get right on that.


:p

c'mon...a simple "I liked it" or "it wasn't so good", is better than nothing.

Aw alright... but only because you're one of the few actually worthwhile on this forum...

But I ain't happy about it! :p

so i just finished watching Return to sleep away camp

2 words: fucking brutal

lolz

the first half was horrible and ripped a lot off of the first one, but about half way through the murders it started getting crazy I had to close my eyes at some parts haha

despite it ripping off of the first one it was pretty cool considering it brought back angela's cousin and you get to see him all grown up

the twist was pretty cool I was actually clueless as to who the killer was for once

thank you for that ;)

Beauty and the Beast (1946)

Only the 2nd time I've watched this one, but good lord - I love it. Such a gorgeous movie. The acting might be a little bit...uh...theatrical at times, but the visuals are breathtaking.

Recommended to anyone interested in watching a truly magical piece of cinema.

Alky, Geddy, NE, __V__, Fortunato - you guys seen this one? If not, grab a copy ASAP, you'd all love it.

Fargo (1996)

I think William Macy also deserved the academy award for his brilliant performance as Jerry Lundegaard. Anyway, at least Frances McDormand & Coen Brothers got that right away.

>>: A-

Oh, yes.
I absolutely love it. What an enchanting work of art. It's near impossible not to get completely lost in it every time I see it.

--------------------------------

M (1931)

A Fish Called Wanda (1988)

Tekon kinkurîto (Tekkonkinkreet) (2006)

Holy smokes, what an adventure. By far one of the best anime films I've ever seen, and definitely one of the most impressive films I've seen this year.
Two young boys, orphaned and living on the streets, have grown up protecting the city in which they live. When certain things come to threaten the hold they have on their home, they have to do what it takes to protect it. Combining love, friendship, Yakuza, aliens, kung fu, violence, and dream sequences into a swirling, beautiful mess, this is truly an experience unlike any other.
I highly recommend this one, especially to NE, __V__, Return, Alky, Rod, Flayed, and Chrono!

Yes- a beloved classic!

I'm trying to find this on rotten tomatoes or imdb after seeing your recommendation in the on demand thread, but I'm getting nowhere.

Edit: Doh! It's Home Movie singular(you bastards cingular! that word doesnt look right when its spelled correctly anymore) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267319/ gonna have to try and check this out

I'm sorry- I put the wrong title. It's HOME MOVIE.

Return and Fortunado- recommendations noted!

Saw V (2008)

I didn't even like the first one, but some friends wanted to see this. It was boring! It truly was. It was police offers talking on cell phones and looking through files, and several of the murder sequences weren't even shown on screen.

Trash.

I got a few kicks out of it, not really pertaining to the movie itself though. I loved that Darla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel was in it. And the bigger guy in the only part with actual traps plays a character on Little Mosque on the Prairie.

I have to admit though, this movie scared me a lot and I'm still unsure why. I was shaking through the first half hour even and that was all recap from the last movie. Really a waste of a few hours though.

A gem of a movie. It would be a wonderful revisit once I m done with the November Film Fest.


Sounds pretty delightful. I ll see if I can hunt this one down. Thanks for the heads up, bud.


Last watched :-

Them!
Arachnid
Eight Legged Freaks
Ice Spiders
The Lion King (for a change)

Not a problem. Let me know what you think.

Oh, I really should add Despare and Roshiq to that list, too.

That's really nice of you. Although I have already added it to my wish list as soon as you recommended the first time.:)

Mindhunters: This was a really entertaining thriller/action movie. It's about a group of FBI agents on a deserted island doing week-end field exercises...until a killer amongst them starts picking them off one by one. You have to check out the death scenes in it...quite creative. Not without its flaws but solid nonetheless 7/10.

Mr. Brooks: Very impressed with this one. It's a serial-killer story with a very human feel to it. It's got a great storyline, actors, production, tension, characters, a nice ending..the whole works. Kevin Costner is great as the lead actor. For the fellas, Demi "MILF" Moore plays the lead detective and I actually didn't hate Dane Cook for once (what's wrong with me?). Definitely worth the rental 8.5/10.

Well, I had my night off from horror flicks...I think I'm having withdrawals already

Mindhunters was a good one. The last movie I saw was John Waters's Female Trouble. It was pretty good. He blended the humor with gore pretty well.

Nope, I've not seen it, I'll check it out. Thanks for the rec.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Less Than Zero (1987). - 7.5/10.

Coming off of just finishing the novel, by Bret Easton Ellis, this is pretty poor. It'd be nice to see someone do a more faithful adaptation of the novel. Worth seeing just for Robert Downey Jr's performance.

I have to watch this one, dammit!

I'm really eager to see what they did with The Informers, especially since previous adaptations of Ellis' work have been pretty faithful, I would say... plus it's Brad Renfro's last performance.

Henry Poole is Here - a quirky indie flick that felt a bit contrived (and a bit sloppy sentimental) but overall was enjoyable. luke wilson gave a great performance and it was one of those films that generally didn't try to do too much and succeeded in its own modest way

10 minutes of one missed call, and harold and kumar 2.


HaK2:GB entertaining to watch once and even throw it into the dvd collection, to many viewings can be seriousley bad for your health.

LOL

I wonder in what way....

Armageddon

Return to sleep away camp=brutal

very cheesey like the rest, but the kills are much better than before and the twist ending is pretty sweet

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) - 8/10.

Very funny movie. It's nice to see Kevin Smith do a great movie outside of the Askewniverse.

Aragami - Very fun, but I preferred 2LDK (something about 2 girls fighting to the death appeals to me a bit more, strangely :p). Great project overall. On a side note, Masaya Kato = yummy.

The Informers sounds interesting. Less Than Zero is the only novel, by Ellis I've read so far. Definetly going to check out his other stuff soon.

More people need to go see Zack and Miri Make a Porno because it is really funny.

I don't know, it's7 bucks to watch it on On Demand. For that I can go see a first run matinee, or rent a DVD for a buck at one of those vending machines in wal mart and still have enough left over for a hit of crack and a 40.

I agree. Smith's best flick since Chasing Amy, in my opinion.
