Just barely got to see the remake of Friday The 13th..it was actually not AS BAD as some of the other recent remakes (i.e..the hideous prom night remake)...sure the storyline was shifty and it seemed non-sensical the way everyone was just running back and forth for kills but it seemed to stay true to the Friday The 13th franchise.

That would be Don't Look In The Basement...it was actually pretty good!

Yep, that was the one.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)

Haven't seen it in a good few years, not a great film, but decent enough. Some solid acting peformances, particulalry from the supporting cast. The peformance of Richard Briers, playing the blind old man from the family De Niro befriends,stands out in particular. In fact, those scenes alone are enough to make this film worth watching.

Disaster Movie

I really hope it was an ironic title. Although I think I enjoyed it more than Meet the Spartans. The parody of Juno was amusing at times and the song at the end was a laugh, but other than that. Oi vey...

Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007). How a remake should be done. i liked it. Ashe.

Jennifer's Body (2009)

Easily and without a doubt the worst movie I've seen in ages.

I was one of the few (around here at least) that really enjoyed Juno, so I was kind of looking forward to seeing what else Diablo Cody could pull off. It might be too early to file her as a one hit wonder, but she sure as hell missed the mark on this one. They tried way too hard...it wanted so desperately to be Evil Dead meets the hipster culture, but it failed miserably. The dialogue is nothing short of painful - while it worked to an extent in Juno, here it just made everyone sound like either a complete idiot or a pompous asshole. There wasn't really even any gore to save it...pretty much all the deaths were offscreen.

I can't think of anything redeeming at all about this movie. Megan Fox is utterly talentless, and hearing her spew Cody's horrendous dialogue has to be one of the most despicable cinematic combos of all time. I will admit that she's somewhat attractive, but it takes a lot more than that to make a movie watchable.

If I wasn't with a group of friends, I would have left about 20 minutes in. I'd suggest staying away from this garbage no matter what. It's banking on all the Hot Topic hipsters and Megan Fox worshipers to drool all over it. The sad part is...they probably will.

Edit: _V_ - Just noticed that you checked it out as well. Thoughts?

I wouldnt call it the worst movie in ages. In the past few years I have seen far, FAR worse than this.

I thought Amanda gave it her best shot. Megan did what she could with her limited talents at acting and extremely wonderful talents at looking gorgeous. The scripting and dialogues disappointed (I was left wondering if this was a horror film or a satire), and the direction by Kusama was really horrendous. Cody tried to inject Juno with horror but it rang all the wrong bells.

Except for Megan (and Amanda to an extent), there's absolutely nothing else to see. Skip it if you are not a fan of either of those mentioned above.

The only thing I'm curious about, are the commercials misleading or does EVERY guy in the movie wear eyeliner?

My Name is Bruce

ARRR! Today be "Talk Like A Pirate Day" so I be celebrating with a bottle of rum and these fine films:

"Treasure Island" (1950)
Starring Robert Newton, Patron Saint Of Talk Like A Pirate Day.

"Cutthroat Island"

"Pirates Of The Carribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl"

The Harvest.

It started off well, but was ultimately disappointing.

The House Bunny-A+
Evidence that my mind is gone: I enjoyed watching this

footprints on the moon

King Solomon's Mines (1950). Though the story was average, it was well told as well as acted. Moreover, this was an absolute visual and auditory treat. The animal scenes were awesome, and the river canoe scene was incredible. As a student of African drum and dance i of course loved the drumming and dancing.

Deadgirl (2008). Dark, brooding, and wickedly perverted. Due to its premise, this could have easily been a sick piece of $*!+, but instead was a smart film that was almost disturbingly realistic in its portrayal of high school confusion gone terribly wrong. The depravity almost becomes background noise as the film moves forward, shifting from scenes of sentimental high school love to seriously incongruent friendships to the silly clicks and sense of isolation of high school. The plot itself is kept alive with plenty of twists and turns. The ending, while not incredible, was done with conviction. Ashe.

Can ya remember the last place that ya used your mind? That's usually where you'll find it.:D Ashe.

The Informant! (2009)

The perfect movie to wash the nasty taste of Jennifer's Body out of my mouth.

It's a hard movie to talk about without spoiling elements of it. The script is beautifully layered and intricately twisted, but Soderbergh's direction keeps everything running smoothly and absolutely sucks you in to the plot, building more and more tension as it goes.

Matt Damon gives what is probably his best performance since The Talented Mr. Ripley (SPOILER:Strange how his best performances are all compulsive liars, eh? , he really blew my mind. To go into what makes the performance so amazing would be to spoil a big part of the movie, but suffice it to say he's pretty incredible.

Word of warning though: don't trust the trailers. Even though there are some absolutely hilarious moments, it's not nearly as much of a comedy as the trailers would lead you to think. It's more of a crime drama that happens to have an utterly inept informant at it's core, rather than just "Matt Damon gets fat and makes us all laugh" like the trailer suggests.

Quite possibly the best movie of the year thusfar...at the very least on par with Inglourious Basterds.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring


Pure quality. Del Toro had better get The Hobbit suitably boxed off to live up to these

ITV last night? Caught a bit of it before I went out.

Channel 4 (think ITV had the X factor on so I generally avoid that shit like the plague). If they're on TV I always try to catch some, if not all, as a point of principal.

For your consideration.

My least favourite of the Christopher Guest ensemble comedies, still entertaining though.

Frostbite

Awful stuff but I ended up enjoying it by the end.

I remember seeing that in the theatre as a kid. Loved it. What was Nick Adams doing in there??

Ginger Snaps

Grey's Anatomy Season 5 finale.



STFU Elvis.

That isn't a movie, silly!

Orphan...fucking rocked.

The Hamiltons.

Liked this one a lot. Definately the strongest of the 1st set of Films to Die for so far.
(there's a couple i havent seen yet)

one of the actors wasnt so great but it helped serve the rawer atmosphere of the film - something i like in horror.

i was suprised - and pleased - by the ending.

Hell in the Pacific (1968). American film hero Lee Marvin and Japanese film hero Toshiro Mifune battle it out in this flick whose premise consists of two soldiers, one American and one Japanese, that are stranded together on a deserted isle during World War II. The rare dialogue, sans subtitles, helps the viewer to feel the frustration between these sworn enemies. Some of the scenes, shot in the Rock Islands of Palau, was georgeously splendid. This movie is a great example of how men deal with propaganda generated hatred whilst being face to face, literally, with their "enemy." Ashe.

Yep its a blast. All these giant monster flicks of the 60s from Japan are great.

(think Nick was trying to pull a Raymond Burr here, or maybe Honda sucked him in)

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. :cool:

It is a pretty good film. Sure Martin and Near Dark did it better but that one's a solid indie flick. Wasn't there talk of a sequel?

^^ Classic stuff right there!

no idea - i'm just getting into these after dark films for the 1st time.


last seen : Penny Dreadful.

one of the most annoying films i've ever seen.
Mimi Rogers was annoying (i usually like her)
the lead girl was annoying ... crying and freaking out for 90 minutes..

and the whole picking up the weirdo thing was one of the most rediculous sequences i've ever seen. 'no thanks, i'm not hungry'
