Most likely will be seeing it tomorrow, as it'll be $4 at Rainbow Cinema's Market Square location.

House Of The Devil

I was blown away. Sets a very high standard that hopefully others will follow. Everyone should check this out ASAP.

The Stepfather (2009)

I was never the biggest fan of the original but that guy was a more effective psycho. This was nothing special really especially the awful soundtrack.

Shrooms

Wasn't expecting much and lost interest after about half an hour

Pandorum (2009). A solid sci-fi entry for sure, Pandorum delivers everything that it is promised. Though it was no Aliens, this flick was a fast paced space thriller. The acting was solid, the direction what it should be. The effects were a little rugged, unless they were meant to appear shaky. This was also a decent study on the degeneration of the human animal when left to its own devices for survival. Antje Traue was neat to look at as well, always a plus in this carnal mind. Overall, for a sci-fi genre flick, this one deserves to be up there with the usual suspects. Mercie beaucoup.

Yeah I liked it - I think i was glad that it didn't turn into a CGI fest and was pretty traditional..

Right now im watching V (1983). TV cameraman and a bunch of medical students lead a resistance against an alien invasion. Great 80s in full effect. Got me thinking if HDC icon _____V_____ got his name from this movie. I kinda doubt it.

FreddyMyers 02-15-2010 11:01 AM

I am currently watching V (1983). A TV guy and a couple of medical students lead a resistance against what they thought to be a frendly alien race. Classic 80s through and through. It got me thinking though is this what gave HDC icon ____V____ the premise for his name. I kinda doubt it.

Sad fucking movie. Every second right up until the last minute of the movie I just about wanted to cry. I get that it's supposed to be a black comedy or what not, but I was perplexed as to why my boyfriend was laughing.

A cheesy Chuck Norris movie from the 80's, it's pretty good

One of the funniest black comedies of recent years. Brilliant peformance from Nicholson, plenty of touching scenes, but its the laughs where I find it really delivers, to be honest. So many quality comedic scenes and every letter to his adopted kid is superb. Would've prefered it to be darker though if anything. Found the ending a little too sentimental, would've liked to see them really crank it up at the end. Quality film.

And Soon the Darkness (1970)

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/677...knessposte.jpg

Jane (Pamela Franklin) and Cathy (Michele Dotrice) are British nurses on a cycling holiday in rural France. They had a disagreement and Jane splits, while Cathy stays behind. When Jane returns a few minutes later to the spot where she left her friend, she discovers that Cathy has been mysteriously vanished. As if that weren't distressing enough, she learns from the local people that the site where her friend disappeared from is the same place where a lady tourist was found murdered a few years before!

A very well crafted atmospheric British suspense thriller. Excellent camera works & nice background scores made it thoroughly captivating. As Jane doesn't speak/understand French well & there was no subtitles, so we can feel a sense of her confusion and mounting fear while the local people were talking suspiciously. It worked pretty well to develop the tension. Moreover, saw it on a B/W format...which added a cult tone overall.

(An American remake is going to release this year & having Amber Heard on the lead.:rolleyes:)

"Kingdom of the spiders" 7/10

First half was quite slow, but the last half more than made up for it.


I really admired the guts of all the actors/actresses invovled, coz.... yuck!! :eek:


Some funny things i noticed:

Not once in the movie did any of the characters concider to squash the spiders with their boots??

The scene where the little girl stands in a bed crawling with spiders. William Shatner comes rushing in telling her to jump in his arms, and as soon as she does so he immediately throws her on the floor amongst even more spiders. LOL. What the hell were the director thinking? :p



All in all a very good watch.

Looooved the very ending.

Yeah, but I don't like his films consistently...I do love Requiem for a Dream and can't think of anything else right now...

hated Pi though

Yeah I meant Aronofsky. I only saw RfaD once a few years ago and I remember not being very impressed by it, but that was probably because everyone had been nagging me to go see it so I was expecting the second coming of Christ or something rather than just a good movie. I need to re-watch it, I think.

Haven't seen Pi but the friend who tipped me off on The Fountain loved Pi. What didn't you like about it? (without spoiling, please :p)

I can't remember now...hm, sorta remember looking forward to it because of all the hype and then rating it like one/two stars on netflix?
donno:o

Elvis_Christ 02-16-2010 03:39 PM

I loved Pi it's a great paraniod moder noir flick. I liked Requim for a Deream when it came out but have grown to hate it. I just don't buy any of the characters as junkies.

The Wrestler is one of my favorite films period. Haven't watched The Fountain.

Scarebaby 02-16-2010 04:15 PM

Maybe that was my problem too with RfaD; the characters were so, well... out of character. Their addiction wasn't believable. But watch The Fountain! Everyone needs to watch The Fountain! If nothing else it's a visual masterpiece.

Meanwhile, I'll try and look into Pi. ^^

Elvis_Christ 02-16-2010 04:49 PM

Yeh all the characters were just way to MTV and the story is just fucking stupid and one sided.

The House of the Devil (2009)

Finally got around to seeing this, and yes. We can only hope for more modern horror like this, not afraid to skip the cheap, easy scares/thrills in favor of brooding, creeping anxiety and atmosphere. I've heard a lot about it being slow-paced, but I thought that was one of its strengths. Plus a pretty authentic 80s aesthetic was fun to watch.
