The Departed (2006) - 9/10.

One of my favourite Scorsese flicks.

Ken Park

I remember this movie was banned in Australia just before it was due to be released, but I couldn't remember why. I guess it was just all the penises..

It's a gritty and bleak film though, it leaves an impact though the ending was a bit dissapointing.

7/10

Watched "Last House On The Left" last night. Its been about thirty years since I've seen it. Was a bit disappointed. While this had some truly horrific scenes the dopey comedy bits almost ruined the movie. Lets hope the remake leaves them out.

Friday the 13th (2009)

Pretty underwhelmed. Not that I was necessarily expecting anything great, but it just seemed to be a distillation of the first three films all in one package, ready for mass consumption. I didn't really see anything special. Just another remake.

Midnight Cowboy (1969) - 10/10.

One of my favourite films. Dustin Hoffman is great in this.

Alien Raiders
this one i bought on a whim -ended up enjoying it.
made the most of a small budget .. excellent unknown cast. well written.

Oh Larry Clark... you'd think with all that teen sex and violence he's obsessed with he'd have something interesting to say in his films... yet he doesn't. If I recall correctly the scene that it was banned for was the "Door handle" scene.

East of Eden

Wonderful performances, and a great script...really liked this one. Plus it's the first full movie I've seen with James Dean - wow, what a talent. Shame he only did 3 movies, could have gone on to real greatness.

Rebel Without a Cause

...and to back up my last point: what a stunning performance this one is. First time that I've properly watched this one, and what a powerful and iconic film it is. Could easily become a favourite of mine.

Vincent Price: The Sinister Image

Very interesting interview. Price always seems like such a sweet and intelligent man...he has always been one of my idols. This doesn't really say anything that I didn't already know, but it's always fascinating to listen to someone you admire speak about their life.

This DVD has some great features on it as well: I especially enjoyed the 2 television specials. The Weird, Wild World of Dr. Goldfoot and Half Hour to Kill: Freedom to Get Lost - both were highly entertaining. I haven't gotten to the radio show included (Three Skeleton Key) or the audio interview, but you can bet that I will.

An essential buy for any Price fan :)

I noticed the ads on just about every horror site there is on the Net, and I thought it was getting a little too overhyped.

But, it sounds like a nice dose of cheesy fun. Thanks for the heads up, bud.

Teenage Mutant ninja turtles 2 : The secret of the ooze

Such a long time since I had watched that, it was heaps of fun....

7/10

Twister (1996)
Classic!
-SPFX

Vacancy, I was very pleasantly surprised.

Ditto.
Pretty decent sci fi thriller. Simple story, nicely executed.

This is England

It's alright, but it gives a skewed view of skinheads for the most part of the film. And it was another ending that left me feeling like somthing was missing. As though there was somthing more to be said.

6.5/10

Taxi Driver (1976) - 10/10.

Not only my favourite Scorsese flick, but most likely my favourite film out there.

Brand Upon the Brain!

I sincerely want to thank Fortunato for suggesting this one...what a wonderful experience this film is.

Such a beautifully made excursion into the surreal...it combines conventions of silent film with some theatrical sensibilities and a fantastic horror/sci-fi vibe. It's funny, touching, chilling and just all-around enthralling - I'll second Fortunato's recomendation, and say that this is essential viewing for anyone interested in surrealist cinema.

I really have to check out more of Maddin's work, ASAP.

- the matrix (been a while)
- Tommy Boy
- Futurama (the green movie - i forget the title)
- Ma Mere - a french film about perversion... those nutty french

Another movie I haven't seen since I was a kid....Scream & Scream Again.

Doesn't hold up well with time and it has the BIG THREE in it [ Price, Lee and Cushing] Kinda lame.

Woo hoo!

Haha, awesome. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Definitely check out some more of his work. Last year's My Winnipeg was pretty incredible.

Weather permitting, I was already planning to pick that up after work :cool:

Halloween H20

my name is bruce

so were you satisfied - or did you find it lacking ?

Grandma's Boy
Pineapple Express
Return of the King

watched this last night.

It was definitely made for the fans. I didn't hate it nor was I bowled over by it....it was ok.

Napoleon Dynamite

Countess Dracula. Really looking to collect the Hammer horror vampire films. Got on order, Taste the blood of dracula, The Vampire lovers, and Lust for a vampire.

The French Connection
great cop thriller, one of the best chase scenes I've ever witnessed.

Punisher: War Zone (2008)

Liked all the gruesome killing scenes...**Spoiler**specially, one is shot by a grenade launcher while doing an acrobatic roll through the air..that was awesome!:cool:

>>: B-


Wishing Stairs (2003)

>>: C+

Great film, havent seen it in ages but now i want to.


Attempted to sit through A Scanner Darkly, the animation style was really awkward to watch, gave up after half an hour.

Day of the Dead

It's been way too long since I watched a zombie movie...and this is one of the best, hands down. Not quite on par with Night of course, but I personally think it's head-and-shoulders above Dawn.

Great characters, and some awesome additions to the zombie mythos - an all-time favourite to be sure.

Dark Harbor

Forgettable, despite Alan Rickman, with a contrived twist ending.

it was lacking

From the "so bad it's good" category..."The Thing With Two Heads" .

from the "just not very good" category..."Mirrors".

from the "funnier than I thought it would be" category..."How to Lose Friends & Alienate People"

Simon Pegg would not be the first name to come to mind when thinking Romantic Comedy.....but he's very good in this.

The Wrestler

Rourke deserves every bit of praise he got for this...phenomenal performance. Great movie all-around - Aronofsky just keeps sealing his spot among the great directors of his generation.

It was pretty cool...I pretty much got a private screening of this one. Went to a matinée, and was the only one in the theatre. Had the place to myself, haha.

"Candyman", "Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh", "Candyman 3: Day Of The Dead" and "Dawn Of The Dead"(2004).

The New York Ripper

It's a pretty brutal slasher.

7.5/10

Coraline- AWESOME

Twilight- my 10 year loved it, I will reserve comment.

Deadspace: Downfall- very cool, I enjoyed it.

Max Payne- hated it

The Happening- loved it, and I was really thinking I would hate this movie.

Resident Evil: Degeneration- very cool

are you glad you didnt end up taking your girlfriend?

Yeh that one is pretty rough.
