Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/7...eaduckling.jpg

Probably as I have seen quite a number of Giallos, the killer here was predictable to me at the very first appearance on screen. But it's a pretty good mystery thriller indeed with a compelling subject matter. Surely one of the very finest films from Fulci.

Triangle: I quite enjoyed this one. It looked to be your typical haunted ghost ship type of fare, but it was something altogether different.

Red (2010). Back in perfect form, Willis and company turn out a wonderful blend of action and comedy in this fun thriller. The story is nothing new, but the delivery was everything, fresh and stylish. Nuanced with playful transitions, the silliness of plot is forgiven with its sheer power to entertain. Action fans will not be disappointed, and those in need of romance will find this a perfect date movie. As for the acting, Malkovich is cream rightfully risen to the fore of the top-notch cast. In short, this is a flick that should find easy repose in most every audience.

Very interesting movie from the land down under. Wasn't the best horror movie I've ever seen, but not as bad as some people have claimed it to be.

Cronicas (2004). Just how far will our ambitions take us, and more importantly, just how high will our rationalizations delineate how low our endeavors will sink in order to promote our greatest cause- ourselves? This flick explores this and more with unflinching resolve, dark entertainment in the exploration of souls as they become indelibly stained by the blackened inks of journalism. The acting was superb, with John Leguizamo at the helm of this ethical thriller. Top marks are to be thrown to Damian Alcazar's way. His character was a splendidly confusing mix of a hapless yokel that might just be housing more than just a sickening secret. The direction of this disturbing story was perfect, though its nauseating subject matter might detract from its entertaining value. The camera work demonstrated an animated sense of tumultuous emotion, using creative motion to extricate inner turmoil out of otherwise mundane scenes. Threatening to end to the demise of the viewer, it somehow digs the knife in just a tad deeper before the credits thankfully roll.

Pretty decent film, plays more like a whodunnit thriller than an actual horror movie with scares. There's atmosphere, there's tension buildup, and there are actually some very nicely fleshed out characters for a change. And love or hate the ending, I thought overall the film was pretty good.

Irreversible

hmmmm....tough one to watch....a couple of very brutal scenes.....that and the dizzying camera work in the first 3rd of the movie.

told in reverse......very compelling

give it a go...if you have the stomach for it

"Winter's Bone" 6/10


Finally a movie that shows the real american. Hostile as fuck. :D

Jennifer Lawrence. Never seen her before, but this girl has potential to become huge. In a movie where all actors involved gave their all, she managed to shine through. Bravo.

:mad:..we will bomb the shit out of your country

The Other Side (2006). Some talent simply cannot be held back. Made with a reported scant $15G, this low budget thriller made great purchase for director Greg Bishop's bid for funds on his next project. He was not to be denied. The Other Side is by no means a perfect flick, but for those interested in seeing the raw talent of a burgeoning director this is a great place to be. The story was solid, told with appropriate flair and humor. A tad religious at times, it was necessary for the story and to have made it less so would have been a weak compromise. With the budget in mind, the effects were decent enough, with no lack of blood flow. The acting was a mix of cringe-worthy pain and solid effort, but nothing so bad as to detract from the story. The puissance of direction is not to be checked, beaming through with talent that will surely find many more a project. In short, this was a low budget thriller housed in a shoddy body but with a hearty soul.

"Bandidas" (2006)
-Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz

Plot: IMDB
In turn-of-the-century Mexico, two very different women become a bank-robbing duo in an effort to combat a ruthless enforcer terrorizing their town.

Phantom's Review: Silly, but fun light hearted western adventure.
The two stars are stunningly beautiful and have a good chemistry together.
The film is made for laughs with a few serious moments.

I watched this on the projector, last time I saw it was at a late night screening, I don't think I can go back to watching it on a tv.

The opening scene with Savini is awesome, but it falls away really fast. Shite acting and to many homages to the original just make you cringe.

Angels with Dirty Faces (1938). What happens when good and evil turn out to be childhood chums? This classic, with movie greats Cagney and Bogart, unknowingly address the question of nature versus nurture, with the two inevitably blending into one element of character development. The result is the manufacture of blind hope that oil and water, or more like elemental sodium and water, will somehow combine without calamitous result. The story was wonderfully infused with a moral fundament that is never stuffed down our throats, taking on the impetuous of the social evils of the day sans judgment. Our players are up for the job, turning in worthy performances on all accounts, not without a few bumps and bruises from the Dead End Kids. The direction and camera work are all on par for a flick of high caliber, with closeups and angles that punctuate all the right moments, all of this to be followed by a moral decision that most could not bear. "What do ya hear what do ya say?" Well, I say that this is a flick that should find as apt an audience today as any of yesteryear.

"Splice" 7/10

What a sad movie. Poor thingy. :(

You should check out Dead End.

Shameless rip-off of the Predator series, mixed with a touch of Lost and The Descent. Guess they wanted to make a quick buck while the euphoria of Rodriguez's Predators was still up. Plotholes aside, if you are a fan of creature flicks, this might give you some kicks but overall, skip it. You won't be losing much.

Also The Roaring Twenties.

The funny part is this 2009 film is a remake of a direct-to-video movie of the same year: The Forgotten Ones aka After Dusk They Come aka The Tribe!

Beautifully complex & amazing! The ending gave a Silent Hill finale kind of vibe, loved it.

Just for fun you can check this out. Liked the last one...a family drama sequel for Inception! :D

The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988). Filmed in Haiti, this flick must be applauded for holding true the religion of Vodou, at least as well as can be expected by the west. The dark beauty of this heavily misunderstood religion was seamlessly captured by this Wes Craven classic. The story itself, loosely inspired by Wade Davis' incredible book of the same name, with bravado took the basic elements of the book and crafted a wonderful and fun little tale of terror. The acting was strong on all accounts, and accolades are to be given to Zakes Mokae for somehow keeping that ghastly grimace permanently cemented upon his mug. The direction was solid Craven, with some fanciful camera work to add to the occasional claustrophobic terror. The ending, tied in with the collapse Baby Doc Duvalier, tended towards buffoonery, but somehow does not detract from the entertainment of the film. One of Wes Craven's better flicks, the Serpent and the Rainbow is a notch above most horror.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up, Rosh.


One of the most stunning sci-fi films ever made, IMO. Destined to rank up there among the best in that genre.

"The Missing" (2003)

Plot: IMDB
In 1885 New Mexico, a frontier medicine woman forms an uneasy alliance with her estranged father when her daughter is kidnapped by an Apache brujo.

Phantom's Review: Well acted, with a "The Searchers" style plot. Very entertaining and Tommy Lee Jones (as usual) is awesome
__________________

Mean Creek (2004). This wonderfully simple coming of age flick takes a typical day of childhood shenaniganry and makes it so much more. The grounded realism of this flick houses its thunder, with scenes that eschew cinematic ploys, instead meandering in it own brilliant fashion. The child actors all earn their due accolades; they simply owned this flick. Director Jacob Aaron Estes' debut, which he also wrote, also deserves much encomium. From the random but necessary closeups to the wondrous shots of nature at her finest, the camera points in all the right places. And where this film's capacity to entertain turns black, its only because its driving force has taken a back alley left unexplored by the typical Hollywood set, where prudence takes its cues from the scent of currency ink.

nice revenge flic from "down under"

Inception

The human subconscious/dreaming mind has been examined in many films before,and while Inception does inevitably tread some familiar paths and does invite comparison to other similar themed genre movies,it does at least have some ideas of its own which allow the storyline to retain some freshness.
Visually the film is extremely impressive,containing several scenes that are truly spectacular.

8/10

Toy Story 3: Awesome, awesome movie. It's a pretty tall order to top the first two movies, but I think this one does. Visually it's amazing as would be expected from Pixar. I really liked just how dark this movie was. Still light-hearted enough for kids, but it is easily the most serious out of the three.

Scoot Pilgrim vs. the World: Visually stunning and pretty damn hilarious. Although I think it would be a far better movie to someone who has read the comics. I liked it, but sometimes it just got way too stupid.

The Expendables

Dead Silence (2007). When James Wan and Company decided to make a flick that paid homage to the horror genre, they went to it with the exertions of funding a third world nation. The result is a wildly pleasant terror fest. With enough gore to please the eye, Dead Silence achieves its ends by way of creepy atmosphere, with brutal eye candy used with occasional flair as opposed to the whole enchilada. The story was rich enough, including all of the necessary touchstones of horror, random dolls, lightening, crawl spaces and the like. The lighting and use of shadow was incredible and it shows. The direction- competent as expected. Even the cinematography worked to great effect to create the feel of a classic horror flick. The sound, as hinted by its titular intimations, was perfectly utilized to throw down the red carpet for evil's inevitable approach. And where all the requisite features of great horror can come crashing down by pitiful acting, no such party pooper is to be found here. The acting was solid and even punctuated with perfectly timed humor by way of Donnie Wahlberg, cynical detective undaunted by performing some of his own stunts. In all, Dead Silence is the type of chilling horror flick that one could only hope to inspire the genre to emulate. Merci beaucoup.

Repo Men.
Have not seen/read anything else it's based on...though from my perspective I quite liked it. Nice futuristic scenario, funny while dark, few mindfucks here and there and some very nice, bloody action scenes.
I enjoyed it, can't really see why it gets the hate it does.
