Haha- I love Killer Tomatoes. Not the least of its charms is the bizarre soundtrack. I paid to see this in the theatre- TWICE.

"Angel Town" 3-4/10

Completely forgot how long and dull this movie was. Even the many fight scenes were a bore.

The Children (2008). This wonderfully creepy flick begins innocently enough, but then an ineffable atmosphere of doom slowly creeps in to dominate everything. Even worse, kids and adults alike act and react in a surprisingly realistic fashion. The foreboding sense of doom just keeps building and building until it is too late; the worst imaginable possibility has become a reality. Great acting, wickedly superb camera work, and some confident direction makes this a delightfully awful treat. Mercie beaucoup.

Brazil-

This time with my bf, and also sober. What. A. Mindfuck. I hate those stupid baby face masks so very much.

Love absolutely everything else though. Especially the way they make everything look like the 1940's; film noir style, art deco everything. Yet it's also quite futuristic. Is there a word for/genre of making the past look like the future. If so I want more.

Great movie. 4/5 for being a bit long.

Shutter Island (2010)

Incredible stuff...no way that I can sum it up as wonderfully as Fort and Alky though. All I'm going to say is see it, immediately.

Ah, yes. I'm so glad you liked it. Can't wait to see it again. I really think it's going to be one of those that improves on repeat viewings.

I think it's more making the future look like dirty and imperfect. Dystopian would be the most appropriate word I believe, unless somebody else has something better. While that really doesn't refer to the visuals, a lot of times that ugly or imperfect looking future is a result of a dystopia. A far cry from the visions of the future you get in things like Star Trek where everything is so clean and pretty. Not quite a steampunk future either...

Blade Runner is another good example of such a world IMO.

I LOVE Brazil.

Nail Gun Massacre

A rather odd b grade flick, with some terrible scripting but it had some charm.


5/10


Near Dark

My fist time watching this, and man was I dissapointed, it faiked me big time.... The Pax got a pass but otherwise I didn't buy it. O.K so it was probably just the one aspect that ruined it for me, maybe I'm overacting. But you can't expect me to believe that....

7/10

Phsyco cop

This was another b grade flick where the script let it down, to many cringe worthy one liners from the bad guy to handle. And he seemed to be even quicker than jason, they could have caught a plane to another country and he would have been waiting for them at the luggage pick up. It was fun though, nut a real lack of nudity for a pick of this time and quality.

6/10


Cabin fever 2

I like it a lot. It had this odd vibe running through it. Overall it was a reasonable black comedy. I'd definatley like to see a 3rd instalment focussing on Winston. Giuseppe Andrews probably was the overall saviour of this flick in the end.

7/10


The Wolfman

I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually a really enjoyable movie. I saw the origanal a long time ago, but I remember it dragging a bit, I think there was a lot more of a love story being told, which I'm glad was not the case here. It was just brutal werewolf destruction of the English, awesome fun. Pretty much non-stop as well.

8/10

scouse mac 02-21-2010 02:22 PM

Quite enjoyed it. Eva Mendes plays a tv exec whos trying to get a reality show based on the game russian roulette on air. Its set up as a documentary crew following her every move as she goes thru the process of convincing network chiefs and such. The reality show itself, seen at the end, is actually quite tense and believable (maybe its only a matter of time?!!). Dont go out your way to see this but its certainly worth a look as a decent time filler.

Watch it definitely, I loved it, scared me silly. It is a classic.
Don't watch the remake...ever:cool:

wasn't expecting much from this film and THANK GOD.
Terrible dribble, it actually made sex and violence boring...and that's some trick with the over the top crap they do these days with sex and violence

Crazy Heart (2009)

A compelling character drama that becomes extraordinary in the hands of Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal. These could arguably be called the two performances of the year, hard roles which fluxuate from exhibiting great human joy to great human pain. I found myself fully engaged in this country star and his culture, something that hasn't been attempted since Altman succeeded in the 70s; Walter tackles the subject of this music scene and alcoholism, and they way they often go together, but he's careful to show the warm and gentle attributes of the culture as well. This contains the year's best music, songs (some sung by Bridges) that are actually far better than the genre ordinarily produces. One of the best (and most overlooked) pictures of 2009.

Clap for "The Wolfman"
 
Saw The Wolfman this afternoon. It's a remake but was very well done. It didn't have the oomph of the original, but the first time is always the best, right? ;)
It was still worth the trip. I like the actors they chose, but the Harry Potter countryside was a little redundant.
Would I go see it again? Oh, yeah. Wonderful gore!
It will be part of my library when it comes out on plastic.

Such a good movie. I have a grindhouse night coming up at a local bar where they are playing Clockwork Orange and The Warriors... for free... with free popcorn. I am so excited.

FINALLY got around to seeing American Zombie and I thought that it was great. I would say that it's probably more "dark comedy" than actual "horror," but I thought that it was a blast. I was wary about a mockumentary at first, but ultimately I think it's a good addition to the Zombie genre and a must-see for all zombie fans. Definitely more low-key than the usual zombie fare, but it works. Highly recommended.


4.5/5

Straker 02-22-2010 06:21 PM

The Amityville Horror.:cool:

EDIT: Was the 1979 version & also I think James Brolin might be Christian Bales Dad....

House (2008)

I turned it off half way through. IMO a particularly lame example of the "creepy family in a creepy house in the woods" genre.

How does that work exactly?

Are you 10 people watching it at the same time while chatting away?
