I watched the the bourne identity

Baise-moi- Ever wonder what a porn, given an extra 5000$ in budget in order make a real movie would look like? Me neither... but this would be it. Mediocre picture quality, acting, effects...not much good to say about it except...nice try? 3.5/10

Anthropophagus-Average horror flick. Really good atmosphere as it takes place in a deserted European Island. I was expecting a little more gore but I guess there is enough to keep the average viewer queasy. The acting was pretty bad as you never really feel like the characters were actually scared whatsoever. 5.5/10.

Blood Feast: OK. I was impressed with the effects of the gore scenes, considering this movie was made in 1963. The main villain should have been scarier IMO.I give it a 5/10.

Yeah they banned that here, but yknow...the internet...I agree, this was just shit.

DEATH RACE - Haven't seen the original (DR2000) so I don't know how this stacks up, but this one was "ok", some good fun over a ridiculous plot. I'd probably buy it if I saw it doubled with the original.

I might go check out Death Race if there's nothing better to do. I hardly ever go to the movies these days.

Last Watched:

Mortuary

Really enjoyed this one. Some creepy moments and Bill Paxton was good value as usual.

Psycho II

because I've never seen it I'm probably going to DL the third one now

Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt. He's great with the fantastical, for sure.
I must check out those special features, though.

Breathless (1960)

Aaaaaaand?

I just finished watching An american crime. I thought it was very tamed compared to the girl next door . Im not sure why you found this to be more disturbing than TGND? I guess it's different strokes 4 different folks.. Maybe the truthfull structure of An american crime , compared to the loosley based, TGND, was why you thought this?

Anyways, I give An american crime 7/10

good movie, but very sad case :(

Ditto.

Just few years back, TCM remake & the beginning are two of the few films that primarily played an important role to make me a great fan of this genre.:)

I saw Mirrors yesterday, i thought it was good, but it wasn't great. I think that they could have done more with it. Certain parts of the story was just a case of "we've seen it all before". That really spoilt what was a movie with a good story outline.

Sid and Nancy. Loved it.

Haha, sorry, I was tired.
I've seen it several times before, but my roomate had never seen a Godard film Breathless is the one to start out with. I think it's a fantastic movie, very touching, very flawed, very human.

The acting in TGND did take away a lot for me. It was over the top, especially from the Aunt Ruth character. Everyone is one dimensional, even the poor girl you're supposed to feel sorry for. Also, the story being told from David's point of view just seemed very unrealistic to me (the conflict he feels is not developed enough, so his actions, or rather inaction, seem impossible). All this made the film seem almost campy to me.

AAC was the complete opposite. Real characters, better acting = powerful film that never seems to have scenes there just for shock value, as with TGND (you know what scene I'm talking about!). Anyway.,... just one person's opinion. :)


Last watched - Stir of Echoes... had been a while. Decent movie.

August Underground: Mordum.

I can't really say that it was a good movie as such. The plotline is more non-existent than your typical porn plotline. The whole "shaky cam" thing gets boring and downright annoying after about 5 minutes. But... For what it is and what it was made to do, it was amazing. Pretty much the most disturbing, realistic portrayal of murder, violence, and depravity that I've ever seen. I'll probably watch Penance tonight.

Calvaire - Second viewing. Can't help but feel a bit icky each time I watch this one, even if there are moments of outlandish comedy. Strange but interesting movie.

Haha, I was just giving you a hard time. :D
But yes, it certainly is very touching, very flawed, very human, and fantastic.

Slaughtered Vomit Dolls: WTF? Not really a movie. More like a compilation of stripping, puking and gore all shot on a camcorder. I really wanted to stop the movie 10 minutes into it, but decided to watch the whole thing. I honestly wished that I had gone with my first instinct. 1/10.

Big fan of that one. Penance is a bit tamer but still has a couple of really twisted scenes. There's a bit more characterization in that one. I've got Amateur Porn Star Killer sitting on my shelf but have yet to watch it a friend of mine recommended it to me its not as over the top as Mordum but its apparently a lot more disturbing.


Fantastic film. One of the more impressive spins on the Deliverance theme. This was one of the best foreign films I'd seen in a long time.

Missing In Action

Love these 80s action cheesefests! I just don't enjoy a lot of the modern stuff.

French Connection II

Pretty much pointless...entertaining enough, but its a pretty much just a thinly veiled attempt to cash in on the original.

Pretty much agreed with you on this one Alky.

This is one of my FAVORITE movies...I really wanted them to make a sequel, just because I wanted more of it

Watched a little over half of Night Listener...Then the DVD started freezing (at the part where the chick started freaking out in the basement with the sweater)...Baby scratched it up pretty good...Guess I'll catch the rest of it later *sigh*

Sooo...I watched the Prom Night and April Fool's Day remakes instead...Neither of these were much like the originals (actually, Prom Night was nothing like the original except that it was based on the night of the prom and people were killed by a nutcase)

I watched the Americanized remake of One Missed Call last night...I really didn't think it was too bad, and the ending made more sense to me than in the Japanese version.

Gonna watch Alligator later tonight...It's been SOOO long since I've seen it...I'm waiting just a little while longer so Dustin can watch it with me :)

Good to see you posting in this thread! Please do so more!

Honestly, it's been a little while since I've had time to catch up on movies...I'm really working on it now :)

Can you believe that I just saw Battle Royale this week, for the very first time? :o ...I LOVED it...We'll be watching Battle Royale 2 sometime in the next few days (when the baby is asleep so we can read the subtitles...)

Oh...Also watched Poultrygeist this week...I was really disappointed...Troma has gone the way of Full Moon videos :(

OH! Deathwatch was a REALLY good movie...I'd like to see more movies like that, with some creepiness...The atmosphere was terrific

Hell Ride ... very enjoyable

Zeitgeist - 9/10
Thought provoking and intense. I really enjoyed it.

Haha I'm almost embarrassed by the amount of times I've watched this recently :o Its become one of my beer drinkin' flicks.

I diffenetly see where you are coming from. And I kinda agree to a certain extent. Although terrible acting, I guess I see TGND more disturbing from some of the scenes we are shown. It made me cringe more.....

However, overall, AAC was a much more, as you say, powerful film and leaved me with a chilling feeling afterwards.

Im in for a comedy tonight folks. Think I'm gonna throw on Step Brothers. Haven't seen it yet....looks freakin halirious....

A Woman Under the Influence (1974)

I don't understand how Cassavetes allows us to just observe his characters. We are shown a crazy wife and a crazy husband, and, for 2 and a half hours, are allowed to know them with such emotional ferocity. What it means to you and how it makes you feel are left completely in your hands.

Fantastic movie.

Yes, Cassavetes was a totally unique filmmaker!

It's true. The first film I saw of his was Faces, and that was probably about 5-6 years ago. It completely blew me away. I had never seen anything like it before, and certainly no one's done it quite the same way since.

kind of have to watch it with a coat folded over your lap :)

Creep - This was one of the better horror flicks I've seen in recent memory. The atmosphere and suspense are top-notch. The villains one scary dude too. This one I would definitely recommend to all. 7.5/10

I know what you mean.....motorcycles and hot cars get me aroused also.

sorry....this is the only pic of the car I could find....that ugly girl is kinda in the way

ummm WOW! thats all i am going to say....


The last movie i have watched ( and i really dont whats mush anymore) what Harry Pothead in Chinese....IT WAS FUCKED UP!:eek:

Finally saw Mother of Tears.

there were a couple of things that could have been changed - but all in all i liked it.

Ah! I really want to see this. I'm lacking in my Cassavetes.

Sukiyaki Western Django

Awesome flick, I can't help thinking it would have been better shot in Japanese though. A lot of people say it's boring to them but I enjoyed Miike's pace personally, I think he did a good job developing a story to go along with action. The cartoon scene and BB introduction seemed a bit out of place and it lacked Miike's over the top gore but those complaints are small and and easily overlooked (actually, the lack of gore is more of an observation than a complaint). I'll probably pick this one up soon.

Oh man, Alky. You will love it.
I'd definitely recommend giving it a bump in your queue.
