Doomsday - Quite ridiculous, but really very fun.

coffemaniac212 11-14-2008 02:24 PM

The last movie i watched was The Christmas Cottage. I know its pretty early for christmas but i just had the spirit for a while there.

Salo : A really nasty and vile movie. I think the fact that it takes place in a realistic setting makes it even more disturbing IMO.I just wanted to shoot the evil bastards that were torturing all of those poor boys and girls. It definitely ranks in my top 5 most fucked up movies ever. Film-wise, it's well shot and the acting is credible. 7/10

Pineapple Express: I really liked this one. It's not as overly funny as Superbad but definitely has its moments. It was nice to see James Franco in a stoner role (I actually liked him in this one) 7.5/10.

Quantum of Solace (2008)

It's hard to follow such an explosively popular film like Casino Royale, but this sequel does a pretty good job. What was so attractive about its predecessor was the gorgeously lush casino sets, and this one isn't as classy or smooth in its mise-en-scene. That said, the film has a grittier feel to it, and the scenes in the desert are beautiful and moody. The action sequences are wonderfully tense, particularly the opening one and another in the sky. Daniel Craig has settled comfortably into his role; it's nice to see him back in action. I liked it quite a bit.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

I didn't find this very funny.

Tremors
Tremors 2: Aftershocks
Tremors 3: Back To Perfection


Don't have the 4th one - the prequel.

Anyone seen it? And, should I bother?

I'm a Tremors fanboy so I like all of them but a lot of people didn't dig the 4th.

Shoot em Up. Holy God, why didn't I see that a lot earlier? I haven't been so into a movie in a long time. Sure a lot of the shit was hokey, but I was literally sitting up straight, legs crossed yoga style, leaning forward a bit like a little kindergarten kid listening to story time. Corny jokes and puns, lots of guns and gore, a cute baby and...... carrots makes for a good movie.

Awesome movie, over the top and just the right amount of self-awareness. Every time I've watched this it was great and everybody who has watched it with me has had a blast... except for one time with one guy who kept spouting off things like "that couldn't happen" or "no way could he do that". I almost kicked the little pecker in his head.

Tears of the Black Tiger


I really liked this one! A genre bender from Thailand that admittedly gets a little slow but doesn't fall off the track completely. Worth seeing for sure, some wicked gunfights.

alkytrio666 11-14-2008 10:47 PM

Woah, I just saw that, too!

hacelikewhoa 11-14-2008 10:49 PM

I streamed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre last night and strangely enough, today I was at Game Surge (game store down the street) and I saw it sitting on the shelf for like 5.99 so I of course had to buy it.

so I'm sure I'll watch it again before bed...whenever that will be

Here we go for another n00b. Classic horror is a TIME PERIOD. It doesn't refer to whatever movies you watched growing up 5 years ago. You don't get to redefine Classic Horror for this forum. If you will bother to look at the forum index you will see a description of what each forum covers. CLASSIC HORROR: Movies from the 1960s AND BEFORE. Movies from the 1970 onwards belong in the Modern Horror forum- regardless of what age the person posting may be.

'noob'? Seriously? You call me a 'noob' because of my age or post count but either of those shouldn't be a factor of what I think a classic horror movie is. Just because these forums say, 'CLASSIC HORROR: Movies from the 1960s AND BEFORE', doesn't mean I can't interpret what I see to be a classic. Sure, I made a simple mistake by posting something that doesn't follow the thread guidelines but insulting someone for their opinion isn't that mature. You're profile says you're 52 so you grew up with a different generation of what can be considered classic. What is classic to you may not be classic to someone who is, say 20. An honest mistake can be fixed by an easy reply or retort but why bring 'noob' status into the equation. Either you take this post count stuff too serious or you need to grow up and realize when something can be fixed and told with a solution rather than create another problem.

Saw 5 (2008)

Though I liked the 3rd trap but in general the traps were quite ordinary in compare to the earlier parts of the series. The tagline was "You won't believe how it ends"...yeah, it's kinda hard to believe that there would be a 'no twist ending' in a Saw movie. I think it's only likable for the genuine fans of the series, cause at least they didn't ruin anything..specially with the storyline and that's a good thing.

Eden Lake (2008)

http://images.rottentomatoes.com/ima...4/10010194.jpg

Nursery teacher Jenny and her boyfriend Steve, escape for a romantic weekend away. Steve, planning to propose, has found an idyllic setting: a remote lake enclosed by woodlands and seemingly deserted. The couple's peace is shattered when a gang of obnoxious kids encircles their campsite. Reveling in provoking the adults, the gang steals the couple's belongings and vandalizes their car leaving them completely stranded. When Steve confronts them, tempers flare and he suffers a shocking and violent attack. Fleeing for help, Jenny is subject to a brutal and relentless game of cat-and-mouse as she desperately tries to evade her young pursuers and find her way out of the woods.

Yeah..it was another survival horror flick like Them, Funny Games or The Strangers but with a more harsh & shocking ending which may successfully manage to anger you in a disturbing way. The young actor who played the ring leader of the repulsive group of loathsome kids quite stand out with his role. Though Jenny..the female lead character/victim also delivered a nice performance but somewhat annoyed me sometimes as her reactions or responses to the certain situations were questionable to me.
Overall the tension, the gore and the upsetting finale made it worth a watch.

Watched most of Dracula (1931) last night...been WAY too long. Still one of my all-time favourites.

Posher778 11-15-2008 06:50 AM

Funny Games- 9/10

Still one of the best thrillers ever filmed. Can I borrow some eggs?

Geddy 11-15-2008 08:03 AM

On Thursday, I got to see The Thing (1982) in theaters. It's already one of my favorite horror flicks, but on the big screen, it's so much better. If you ever get a chance to see this in theaters, make sure you do.
-9.5/10.

Last night I watched Robocop (1987) Pretty good action flick. Not near as cheesy as I expected it to be.
-7.5/10.

The word n00b is descriptive. If you want to be offended by it that's your choice. As a n00b you still seem confused by the terms "classic horror" and "a classic." The former is a term defined by the subtitle of this forum. As I already mentioned, regardless of anyone's age, the term is quantified and not up for discussion. Now get thee over to the modern horror forum to discuss modern horror films. I'm sure that being such a paragon of maturity and reasonableness you'll be able to take all this information to heart and adjust your behavior accordingly.

Quantum of Solace - Had great action sequences all throughout. The villains were kind of dull and unconvincing. Not as good as Casino Royale but still a decent follow-up. 7/10.

Shooter- Great sniper movie. It was action-packed while having twists and turns from beginning to the end. If you haven't seen it, you won't be disappointed. 8/10

"Teeth" (2007)

Think the girl with the vagina dentata is hot?:

- When she says NO, jam it back in and run like hell.

- Don't talk with your buddy on the cell phone bragging you won the bet that you'd get into her pants as you and her are doing the in and out.

- Hope she's not pissed at you and she's not your sister if you expect to get lucky..but if you do? feed your rottweiler first then tie him outside.

The red flags should be in your face when you catch her flossing her love canal.:D

novadawn969 11-15-2008 07:15 PM

I rented 3 redbox movies for Halloween.
They were all B-rated crap-tacular horrors.
Webs, Doll Graveyard, and something with a lot of ameture soft core porn.
lol.

There are no movie placed in the town I moved to.
There was a family owned one, but they went out of bisness a week before Halloween.

Stupid jerks.

Then I went and saw Madagascar 2 with my honey's neice.
It made me giggle...
:p

A Love Song for Bobby Long - Very underrated. I never get tired of watching this one.

Watched Tropic Thunder last night. Not a bad movie.....some real funny parts...just a little uneven.

It's not that bad as it looks, even I think it's better than Robert Englund featuring Zombie Strippers or even Gutterballs.

The Cameraman (1928)

I love this movie. This is one of my comfort films, a flick that I go to when I want to relax and have some genuine laughs and cheer for a genuinely warm hero. Besides the obvious first place choice, this is Buster Keaton's second best film IMO, and I recommend it to all classic film fans here who haven't had the pleasure of seeing it yet.

The Flayed One 11-16-2008 07:36 AM

Midnight Meat Train

Really enjoyed this. Tons of fun. Not as good as a lot of Barkers other stuff, but still fun to watch.

Be Kind Rewind

I honestly had no idea what this was about when I went into it. Great movie, good comedy.

Geddy 11-16-2008 09:15 AM

Starship Troopers (1997) - 8/10.

A lot better than I remembered it being. A lot of fun.

Robocop 2 (1990) - 6.5/10.

Not near as good as the first one, but still a decent flick.

The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) - 9/10.

Probably one of my favorite Sci-fi films, I've seen so far.
