Winter Light (1963). Not much fun or gaity in this second instalment of Ingmar Bergman's trilogy faith series. Finding and keeping faith whilst imbued in a world that is truly ugly, diseased, and menacing whilst God remain's conspiculously hidden is the theme to this fine flick. The main character's are tortured, twisted, and almost resolved to hypocrisy. The ending was incredibly simple and profoundly fitting. Ashe.

Pretty predictable and generic, but enjoyable to a certain extent. Bruce Wills gives his typical performance - nothing we haven't seen from him before, but he's decent enough. The plot is a bit convoluted, doesn't have much tension, and you can see pretty much the whole story coming from a mile away.

Might be worth a rental when it hits DVD, or a quick download if that's your thing...don't bother with it in theatres. A passable time killer, nothing more or less.

Hmm I was looking forward to seeing this in the theatre tonight. Oh well... :(

Yep it was a blast. That, Porky's and Lemon Popsicle were actually sort of trend-starters.

Yeah its trashy as hell and has some of the most atrociously bad acting you ll ever see on the screen...but there is some charm in 80s trash, specially when dipped in plenty of gore. Its bad as hell and will give sleepless nights to hardcore lovers of classy cinema for sure.

(but not to Rayne or Jenna, I m sure of it)

Worth for Doris Wishman's obsession with shoes and her shooting of the backs of heads during dialogue scenes.

neverending 09-30-2009 01:24 AM

Wel, if you never actually show people talking, you don't have to synch up the dialogue with the images. I love Doris Wishman. I wish I had watched an awful Doris Wishman movie tonight instead of

Unrest

One of the Horrorfest films. One of the worst. There's something sad about a well produced bad movie with decent acting. It's just forgettable. At least with something that's insanely awful on every level, like Doris Wishman you gt to laugh.

Ahem, I wasn't prepare for this Giallo Porn! The soft-core sex scenes are quite sleazy, each one followed by a murder. And at the end when the killer's mysterious murder-weapon finally revealed I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Get this. Will (aka douchebag) hated it. Said 'Twins' with Devito was far superior.

Because he's a fuckin' idiot, naturally. His favorite movie is the remake of Assault on Precinct 13.

They are both based on the same Novella.

Ingmar Bergmar's The Silence (1963). Absolutely dark, erotic, and bleak; this film is so amazing that it must be allowed to haunt one's soul before it can be adequately discussed. Ashe.

Bergman's remake of I spit on your Grave was excellent too.

Ah, this might be my favorite of the supposed trilogy.

Haha, you're absolutely right.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)

For a director like F.W. Murnau, who created a string of masterpieces throughout his career, it's hard to say what his ultimate masterwork might be.
I think this might be it, though. What Sunrise has above all others is a breathtaking simplicity, and with an unusual, terse love story it opens up an epic scope. Next to The Passion of Joan of Arc, it's my favorite silent film ever.

missmacabre 09-30-2009 04:22 PM

Jacob's Ladder. I can definately see why people say it was an inspiration for Silent Hill now. Thought the ending was a bit boring though.

Hey, you could do a lot worse. If you were looking forward to it, don't let me stop you from checking it out. That little review sounded more negative than I intended - it's not bad by any means, just nothing really special. It's got a bit of a poor-man's Blade Runner feel in a few scenes near the start...who knows, you might like it :)

Loved it. I would have watched the sequel too, had they made one. Nice companion piece to Hero and the Terror, IMO.

Aha, now you are trying to influence me by comparing it to Blade Runner. ;) :p

Nah...think I ll wait for the DVD. The sci-fi bracket this year has gone up several notches for me, because of District 9 and Pandorum. I dont wanna spoil that too much. :)

The Swarm


Classic disaster movie of epic proportions, well it tried to be anyway. Always enjoyable with a gigantic death toll and all star cast, if we learn anything from this film surely its dont use flamethrowers indoors.

Is that the killer bee movie? I watched that all the time as a kid! I remember thinking how funny it was that they tried to kill swarms with machine guns.

Your right. I also grew up watching this film repeatedly and, whenever its on now, I always say to myself 'Im not watching that again', I end up watching it though. Addictive film somehow..............

Methodically paced and exceptionally creepy, maybe a bit over hyped but it has some scenes that really stay with you.
