Watched Boondock Saints for the first time on Wednesday and forgot to talk about it. Suuuch a good movie, took me long enough to watch it. Probably wouldn't have but my boyfriend forced me to, glad he did. I almost hit him when he laughed at a cat getting killed, cause that was just gross, but the dialogue afterward made me laugh too. Just a very funny movie. Can we talk about Willem Defoe being the best actor ever? Holy shit, he's amazing.

Anyone seen Boondock Saints 2? I'm interested but don't want to be disappointed.

I watched "The Children" tonight, it was garbage, children screaming, hysterical mothers, my head was bursting the time the movie ended.:mad:

Titicut Follies (1967)

I thought The Children was fabulous. You'd be hysterical too if your own kid was trying to kill you.

Dead Eyes on London again:eek::cool:

It's good but not near as good as the first, but still worth a watch.

Yeah, I agree I liked the film alot...Great editing and the kids were truly scary..

Not nearly as good. So if you go in with very low expectations, you might kinda enjoy it. And I have no idea what happened to Sean patrick Flannery's face between the making of the originalland the sequal..

George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead (2009/2010)

At least this time the master of the dead came with a far better storyline, & characters than Land & Diary of the Dead. In addition, there was good touch of humor also. Liked it.

These are the ones i seen at the weekend

A Place In The Dark
The Uninvited
Drag Me To Hell
Eden Lake
Vacancy

Eden Lake was the best one,,then Vacancy

[Rec] 2 - This is quite an effective sequel.The infection storyline from the first film is expanded upon in an interesting and original way. 7/10

the last shark aka great white aka the last jaws



might be barred in a few places, but you can always get the Scandinavian dvd :D

Black Hawk Down. Visually superb and well put together film. One of my favourite war films, with some superb action scenes and quality cinematography. Plenty of emotional impact for a film which doesn't delve to deeply into the politics or characters at hand.

Watching Vincent Price in the Dr Phibes movies, just love them films, why don't they remake theses films and get Tim Burton to direct them.:rolleyes:

For the love of all that is sacred, I hope that was a joke.

The Blind Side was good. I'm glad it was shot where I live/my hometown. :)

Ink

Buried underneath the cheap look, and wholesale borrowing of Neil Gaiman's Sandman-esque mythos is a simple, but not unaffecting fairy tale. I had a hard time getting into it, but once in, I was actually moved by the story and the sheer audacity it took to make a film on this scope for such a small budget.

It's for fans of Del Toro, Barker and Gaiman. If you don't dig these guys, you'll likely not enjoy the film at all.

6/10

Classic stuff! I love Jaws knockoffs and that's one of the better (and hilarious) ones

Thérèse Raquin (1953)

A mostly interesting noir-ish drama by Marcel Carné, based on the novel by Émile Zola. However, for being based on a novel by a naturalist author and adapted by a director known for realism, it's such a movie. There are way too many unrealistic literary devices at play here to really be drawn in, but the film is still held together by some excellent performances (especially by Simone Signoret) and some truly wonderful sequences. Worth a watch.

The Pack-Pretty fair entry in the man against beast genre that I love so much.

Haven't checked out many of those flicks what are some you'd recommend?

Just watched I Spit On Your Grave again.:D

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Co-written by Dario Argento and Sergio Leone, how could this western not be awesome? Disappoint it did not. Sergio Leone is a master of scene building. Every scene that deserves significance gets attention, and like the watched pot that does not boil, his sense of timing is brilliant. The cast is perfect, with each character's backstory a secret, driving element of things to come. When a director gets his cast to really act, where we understand the players by the looks on their faces, the tormented souls from their eyes, that is when have something more than a simple flick, and that is what we have here, meat to sink our teeth into. Merci beaucoup.
derek

Dead Snow - Pretty solid for what it is. Could have used more of both the gore and humor, but a fun enough watch. The Norwegian audio just adds to the humor of it all since the English dubbing was worse than a old-school Chinese kungfu flick and simply unbearable.

Just watched "Happy birthday to me" directed by J.Lee Thompson, a notorious
film director from the Cannon film studios. Why they never made a follow up
to this movie I will never know, they could call it "Happy birthday to me part II
Many happy returns".:rolleyes:

PONTYPOOL

Different fer sure.....I liked it

Hard to believe its the same guy that did Cape Fear, Ice cold in Alex and The Guns of Navarone.

Well if you arent too picky Elvis there are a ton of really entertaining movies with that theme,many of them released in the mid 70's after Jaws hit the screen.Please keep in mind that I am a big fan of B cinema and check out some of these Titles

Day of the Animals-1977. Leslie Nielsen as you have NEVER seen him!Basically the deal is that animals go berserk from fluorocarbons in the air and the depletion of our ozone and attack a bunch of hikers led my Christopher George.

Grizzly-1976. Follows the plot of everybody's favorite shark movie so closely that the makers of the film gave up and advertised it as Jaws with claws.

Night of the Lepus-1972.Whats more terrifying than giant mutated meat eating rabbits?

Food of the Gods-1976.Bert I Gordon directed.The giant animal fx vary between fairly impressive and absolutely terrible.

The Swarm-1978.Hysterically bad killer bee flick.Im sure you have seen this one or at least heard it mentioned as one of the worst movies of all time.Directed by disaster movie king Irwin Allen

Thats just a few EC.I hope you get a chance to check them out and you enjoy them.If you do you will find this sub-genre plentiful and mostly a hell of a lot of fun.

Thanks Krell I'll have a look into those ones I'm pretty big on the trashier/cult type of deal so some of those sound great. Been meaning to check out Grizzly and Night of the Lepus for ages!

Last flicks I watched from that subgenre were Alligator and Piranha dug both of 'em.

"Avatar"

While the film was visually amazing, I found the plot to be boring and un-original, This was a major dissappointment.

Yeh that's what it looked like to me. I'm sure I'll see it one day but it'd just be a pretty hollow experience and mainly eye candy.

Cameron is overated as fuck. He hasn't made anything cool or interesting since The Abyss.

Kelly's Heroes


I love these older war movies ...good cast...fun times

Watched "April Fools Day" directed by Fred Walton, nice little plot and what a twist.:cool:

Sorry folks, I was not thinking when I mentioned the twist of this movie, I am sorry.

Murder Set Pieces: A fairly blah movie overall. The acting is pretty bad. The storyline, while it does have possibility is never really explored that well. The gore is pretty well done, but is predominantly shown after the fact which worked really well in Henry, but not quite so well in this one. Good enough to watch once, but I doubt I'd watch it again any time soon.

House of the Devil

I liked it, I think the criticism it gets for being slow is a bit unfair though, I appreciated the build-up.

Way to spoil April Fool's Day for everyone who hasn't seen it AMICUS.... how about a spoiler warning huh? :rolleyes:

Yeh a lot of people seemed to have felt that way. I dug the build up too. I guess I watch a lot of 70s/80s stuff and a bunch of those flicks have a slower build up. Apart from House of the Devil being set in the 80s I thought it was more 70s in tone/style.

Yeah, I felt the same way.

The Devils-1971

I find this movie incredibly powerful and I grow to appreciate its brilliance with each new viewing.Intense performances by all ( most notable in my opinion is Vanessa Redgrave as the depraved and tortured Sister Jean of the Angels) a beautiful script and striking sets that literally leave me on the edge of my seat.

That's because epically great minds think alike :p

The World's Greatest Sinner (1962)

(In?)famous character actor Timothy Carey's only writer/director-effort is a truly bizarre one, both goofy and heavy. He even stars as a fiery and convicted advocate for Man as God, the "Super-human Being", in a story that must have been at least partly inspired by Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood. He plays passionate, Elvis/Jerry Lee Lewis-style rock 'n' roll, turning legions of people on to his "religion/political party" (clever, eh?), and so forth, then loses his way in the ensuing mess. Carey calls attention to the dangerousness of man's weakness to power, stale religion, and a host of other things, it seems. It's an awfully curious, but completely wonderful work; wholly B-grade production, with music by a young (and then-unknown) Frank Zappa and great cinematography by Ray Dennis Steckler!
Highly recommended.

H-yes. Great film. Glad to find another admirer of that incredible work.

I was going to say that!

Interesting plot with a good location but it was so slow that I took a 15 minutes of nap after the 1st half.

Soylent Green (1973)

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2259/soylentgreen.jpg

Beautifully depicts the horror of overpopulation in our coming future which may very well be a reality soon specially in this part of the world where I live.:(
I think Sci-fi masterpieces like Metropolis & this one should get more TV screening on all national television channels worldwide on a frequent & regular basis.
