Haute Tension
House of 1000 Corpses
Devil's Rejects

No Country for Old Men

Figured it was about time to give this one a second viewing...just as great as the first time.

I'm still not convinced that it was the best movie of the year - I still far prefer There Will Be Blood - but it's a fantastic film nonetheless.

The Ruins......meh....nothing special. Killer plants.....big whoop

Hell Ride again.....fun movie

yeah - a couple of nasty moments - thats about it.


********** SPOILER **************

when i saw it - i mentioned to the guy i was with (after the kid was hit by the plant - then killed) that i'd just stand on top flinging plants at the people with the guns until they all killed each other.

Masters of Horror: Tobe Hooper's Dance of the Dead (2005)

>>: C-

haha....I thought the exact same thing.

Speaking of best theme songs ever, I revisited Life of Brian last night.

"Edmond" 7-8/10

Stuart Gordon's "Falling down".

I can never get tired of the "Falling down" theme. A normal guys journey to insanity.

Enjoyed this one a lot, even tho it's not quite up there with Falling Down. Could have wished for another lead actor, not being a big fan of William H. Macy, but i thought he did a good job nevertheless. Also fun to see all the cameos, coz there sure were a lot of well known faces.


So, to all Falling Down fans in here. Edmond.

I liked Falling Down and I like W.H.M......I shall give this a looksee

Good to hear.

And don't worry newb, you won't fall asleep. It only has a running time of 1 hour and 20 minutes tops.

Funny stuff.......I didn't know you vikings had a sense of humor. :D

Last film I saw was;
 

I decided to give the german film Tattoo again last night. Its alright but nothing special. Just bout a person who collects specific tattoos (and their skin) for bidding purposes on the net.
Which gave me an idea . . . .:)

Great film. You should check out Stuck

Anamorph.


Ahhh Willem Dafoe. Ever since Platoon came into my life, I ve had nothing but awe for the man. His portrayal in Shadow of the Vampire swept me off my feet, and I am the very select few who adore Boondock Saints. This time again, he manages to be the lone bright spot in an otherwise gloomy flick, which suffers a lot due to mediocre supporting characters.

It has a great premise, and the atmosphere is very Saw / Hannibal Lecter-ish with some really stomach-churning gorific death sequences, and the cinematography is wonderful. If only the characters around Dafoe were a bit more fleshed out and gave it their best shot, and the script-writer paid some attention to developing them more, this could easily have been one of the best of this decade.

Nevertheless, I liked the most part of it, Return. One tip to future viewers, watch carefully or you might end up with a "WTF!" expression when the climax ends. It is a tad disappointing, yes, but it makes sense. (It is certainly no Seven anyway)



Rating - * * ½

Stuart Gordon again i see. Cool, i'll look for it.

An American Haunting

Great storytelling, great acting from Sissy Spacek & Donald Sutherland. Really solid classic style horror, from 2005.

Ditto!

Katyn (2007)

A Polish film about the mass execution of Polish POW officers and citizens ordered by the Soviet authorities in 1940. The story evolved through the eyes of the women; the mothers, wives and daughters of the victims executed on Stalin's orders.

A beautifully touching war movie. Nominated for Oscar at 2007.

Night of the Living Dead with Tony Todd!!...classic!

How is that? I've been on the fence about checking it out...worth the time?

Fred Claus (I thought I was going to hate this one but it wasn't a bad holiday flick.)
The Christmas Toy (One of my favorite little Christmas shorts.)
Mary Poppins
& The Teacher (I know, it really doesn't fit in this list...)

Oh yeah. It's definitely worth the time.
It is Gus van Sant, though, so if you have any reservations about his stuff prior to watching, then keep that in mind.
But I thought it was really very good.

- my first mister
- glass house


i'm completely infatuated with Leelee Sobieski


plus - more battlestar galactica and reaper.

oddly enough - a girl from BG was in the episode of reaper we just watched

I've only seen one of his films (Elephant) and I really enjoyed it...I'll have to give this one a shot. Thanks!

Arsenic and Old Lace

One of my absolute favourite comedies...if you like classic film and haven't seen this one, you owe it to yourself. Easily one of Cary Grant's best comedic roles :D

I would kill to be in a production of this on stage...don't even care who I'd play. Every single role looks like a blast, I'd love the opportunity just to be part of that kind of production.

Just don't see Gerry.

I am going to project the rating on my next 3 flix from netflix,

and then rate them after to see if I was dead on...



Pre-rate:

Revolver: probably will hate it, and want to throw up from pointless unexpected blood spurting from someone's mouth at the same time I am taking a sip of something. Will have PTSD from the extreme violence which I have not built up a tolerance for lately with all the fucking Barney watching going on at my home.

The Last Legion: will most likely be pleasantly surprised and want to buy this one because I have no idea why this title is even coming to me because I do not remember ever looking at it or putting it into my cue. Reading the blurbs doesn't shake any memories either.

The Forbidden Kingdom: will love this even if it sucks donkey dick because I am toast when it comes to anything with swords nowadays.

The Day The Earth Stood Still :rolleyes:

Keanu found the role he was born to play

what a stupid fucking movie

Klaatu: "I have come here to save the earth....from you humans....we shall destroy you all."

CHAAAAARGE!!!


That would be me. :D

Big Bad Mama (1974)

>>: B-

Jaws 2

I enjoye the second one a lot more thn I used to especially since a lot of it was fresh to me unlike the original and Roy Scheider (RIP brother) is great in pretty much every role he plays. It did need a few more gruesome attacks like the Quint scene in the original.

Jaws 3

Still as disappointing as I remember it. This could've been a lot better. Did anyone catch this in 3-D back in the day? A couple of bits would've looked killer.

Trancers

I hadn't seen this one since I was a kid. Still a great fun Terminator/Blade Runner knock off. My only complaint is the ending was rushed and could've been a lot better.

That really disappoints me.
The trailer made it look seriously good:(

Saw V.


The opening sequence really sets the tone of the entire flick. A lot of questions left unanswered in IV are answered here, plus there are some really sweet traps this time around. It gives a lot more insight into the personas and characters of both Jigsaw and Hoffman. Although the guy who plays Hoffman needed to be a bit more animated, and not imitate Jigsaw's demeanour throughout the flick.

Judging by the way this one ends, I am willing to predict that VI will end this franchise. And as per impact, I would put this one alongside II. Gory and fun.


Rating - * * *

Caught the last little bit of Gremlins on TV...forgot just how hilarious it is :D

Wanted.


Mindless action flicks with goofy premises, which do not follow any set rules, can be really fun to watch. I had a blast. Angelina looked pale though. But overall, a very stylish and chic action movie.
