A History of Violence

I honestly feel that this movie is good, but overrated (sorry kung-fu-jesus). Don't think that it's more of a Drama than a Action/Thriller. But that wasn't it. I went in expecting more of a Drama than anything. I was just disappointed a bit with the outcome. I wasn't mesmerized or enthralled by the plot, only just somewhat interested. This is probably because I went in with high expectations (I have a bad case of doing this a lot). I still enjoyed it, and would watch it again. Just not in awhile. The only advice I can give to somebody who's going to watch this is to not go in with high expectations, because you may or may not come out happy with the outcome.

3 out of 5 stars.

For fans of "Dead Alive", "Shaun of the Dead", "Reanimator" i bring you "EVIL ALIENS".
Sure the title sucks, which is why i didn't expect much. A nice little British horror/comedy that starts off kinda slow......but when it takes off....look out, heads will fly as well as various body parts. Pick this one up if you come across it.

The Thing


Ive watched this many times in the past, but this is the first time I really realised what a masterpiece it is. This is easily one of the greatest horror films of all time, bar none. Everything about this movie comes together perfectly, not a single minute seems out of place. Everyone praises the gore and special effects, which certainly are amazing, however I think the real highlight of the film is the characters. Though it does get confusing at first with so many characters, it's worth it. They all bring a unique personality to the film, they all give it that extra dimention that so many horror films lack. MacReady, played by Kurt Russel, was amazing, one of the all-time great horror heroes. Just when you think the film can't get any better, Joh Carpenter gives us one of the coolest endings that Ive ever seen. I wont spoil it incase any of you havent seen it yet, but I love how open ended it is. This film is a perfect example of John Carpenter's genius as a filmmaker, contrary to some of his recent work. I find giving a film a perfect score looks bad, but this is one of few that deserves every point I can give it.

10/10

Devil's Rejects

Good performances by the 4 central characters, though I wasn't quite sure who I was supposed to feel sympathy for, if anybody. Aside from the family (in the hotel, not the Fireflys), everybody pretty much deserved what they got. Hell of a soundtrack, too.

4/5

The Hitcher - Still a fuckin' amazing film. Rutger Hauer is a really relentless creepy motherfucker in this one.
