Just watched PIG HUNT....Take one 4000 pound boar, a bunch of rednecks and a lesbian hippy cult, a dash of DELIVERANCE, stir in a big pot, serve and enjoy!

Calvaire (The Ordeal)

Brilliant film.

Watched Year One last night. Don't get all the shitty reviews this has got sure its lowbrow but I laughed a bunch of times which is more than I can say for a lot of comedies I've seen lately.

Angel Face (1952)

Tense, shocking thriller from film-noir master Otto Preminger.

Any fan of the classics should see this one...I don't want too say much in fear of ruining the spectacular twists, but if you're a fan of any of the players or of the film-noir genre in general, this is a must-see. Jean Simmons delivers an absolutely chilling performance here.

Is that the one that has Les Claypool in it?

Great film. I just picked up Anatomy of a Murder on DVD the other day, which is absolutely great.

Went to see Zombieland (2009) tonight, and loved it. As much fun as everyone has said it is.

Really??????

Zombieland (2009)

http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/p...mallposter.jpg

Yeap...it was an awesome fun trip to the Zombieland. Although both the film set on a Zombie apocalypse scenario but I don't like to compare it with Shaun of the Dead, cause both of them deals the issue quite differently than other with their own ingenious humor & creative way. The thing I most like about Zombieland is that it didn't spent time on showing too much zombie actions or attacks that we all already have a very solid idea from more than hundreds of films. It focused and progressed with its characters as they gradually developed from the beginning to the end. With its smart hilarious dialogs, Columbus' rules for survival, a surprise cameo and obviously Woody Harrelson's stand out performance as Tallahassee will remain something for the genre that we can cherish for a very long time.

G-Force (2009)

A sweet little film for the kids and way better than Transformers 2!:rolleyes:

Wild Strawberries (1957). An absolute gem of a movie by Ingmar Bergman. This is a gentle story about loss and regret, emotional distance and rediscovery, as seen by an elderly man as he re-examines his past on a rather introspective and extraordinary day. Victor Sjostrom plays the part of aging Professor Borg with perfection. The rest of the cast, Bergman's usuals, are just as fantasitic, with maybe a special mention going out to Ingrid Thulin's strong and compelling role. This simple story is told with brilliance, and really serves to ellucidate Bergman's genius. Ashe.

Event Horizon

House of Flying Daggers

Straw Dogs
fucking Grade A film. my new favorite Hoffman performance.

Martyrs
thought it was great. It may have had a bit of a ridiculous plot to try and justify all the the torture and what not, but I thought every minute of it just worked.

Saw The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Crainquebille (1922) on the big screen.

House II...

Damn guys. Good stuff.

----------------------------

Halloween (1978)

Indeed. I am a big fan of the original and always make it a point to check it during Halloween season. Like the remake too, but not as much.

Waiting till Halloween eve to watch H I, H II and H III together back to back.

The cars that ate Paris

I heard this was really bad, but it wasn't. It was a bit slow but enjoyable in a redneck tale sense.... Worth checking out for the cinematography alone.

6/10

The Signal - Lots of fun, I'll have to pick this one up.

American Zombie - Didn't like this one that much, even being a huge zombie fan I was let down. The story was predictable, the zombies didn't matter at all (hell, this could have been American Vampire and it wouldn't really have to change much), and the characters were only interesting in the beginning. Had this been a half hour short I would have liked it a lot more that I did.

The 4th Floor...Nice!

Zombieland..., we all are orphans in Zombieland...It's a blast!

The Unborn - Not a good movie. Too many cliches, not enough time to actually develop things clearly. I turned it off before it ended.

Sam

Was Oldman awesome, at least?

Depends on whether he was watching the 1991, 2003 or 2009 movie called The Unborn...

Night of Fear

This is a pretty odd Australian redneck horror from the 70's. There is no dialogue which makes it a bit more sinister. Some interesting cinematography and sound make it worth the watch. The main actors do a good job at make it a pretty creepy flick as well.

6.5/10

Natural Born Killers - I thought I hated this movie, this time, not so much. I think it's growing on me...

Alien

Zombieland - Loved every minute of it.Great fun.



Drag Me To Hell - Was really let down with this.Way to predictable.

Orphan (2009)

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/8165/orphans.jpg

Though the plot may sound other renowned 'evil child' films like The Good Son or even 50's classic The Bad Seed but impressively they still managed to deliver a solid good punch at the end with a clever written script, nice paced timely thrills and surely a great performance by the cast, specially the girl who played the lead was great.

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with this film that I even thought would be a pretty mediocre one at first but I was wrong.

Recommended.

The Burning Plain (2008/2009)

http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/p...mallposter.jpg

Another pretty intense slow burn drama from the director of 21 Grams. But not as great as that was.

Little Otik AKA Otesanek (2000). Talk about a twisted fairy tales for adults! This wonderful movie is as deeply disturbing as it is funny. Some of the obtrusively close camera shots were almost squirmy, and the dinner scenes were splendidly gross. The dirty old man scenes were a riot. It has been a while since i have seen any stop-frame animation, and was taken aback at first. Having gotten over it i came to wish that there was more of it. There are just too many wonderful aspects to this flick which is a must for any horror fan whose tatses run toward the odd or surreal. The only universal complaint was that it was a was too long. Other than that, bueno. Ashe.

Fight for Your Life

Ok, the beginning and the end of the journey was predictable; but what about all the stops along the way? Did you really foresee that fight scene? Did you see the graveyard scene or funeral scene coming? How about the nosebleed (hilarious)? I don't think this movie was trying to surprise you with where you ended up but more so with how you got there.

Fright Night (1985)

Still one my favorite vampire movies

Cobra Verde
yawn.

Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters
Phantasm
Phantasm II

Probably watch Phantasm III & IV tomorrow...

Great flick. I got to see that last year on the big screen; perfect 35mm print. And to sweeten the deal, Tom Holland sat right behind me during the whole thing, and I had a nice chat with him afterward. It was super great.

Trick 'r Treat (2008/2009)

http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/p...t_smalldvd.jpg

Delightful! The genre has been missing this kinda beautiful horror anthology for a long time. Enough of those slasher remakes & pointless sequels of SAW! Every year the fans actually need to have a film like this in Halloween. It's a fantastic anthology that spins five simple but great intertwined tales and all take place on Halloween night. Writer/director Michael Dougherty crafted the film very intelligently, the spookiness and fun are perfectly balanced. More or less he covered all the great elements of Horror & for all ages in this collection of horror. With such a nice cast like Brian Cox, Anna Paquin and Dylan Baker it delivered a splendid entertainment. I simply loved it and added to my schedule for Halloween Night Movies for every year from now on.

For the effort & achievement I like to give it a straight.....
