Just finished watching "Subspecies" on Netflix. Interesting flick, really bad makeup jobs! LOL

deadgirl. I found it rather dull.

Satan's School For Girls (I don't know what year it came out but it stars Shannon Doherty but isn't on IMDB or Amazon weirdly so maybe it hasn't been released on dvd yet)anyway it was a PG so very little violence and no gore. But it was actually pretty good it had inventive occult undercurrents and avoided the standard slasher fare its title hints at. I surprisingly enjoyed it though it was hardly original.

Last Breath (2010)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...stBreath-1.jpg One of the most ridiculous twist ending seen in years! >>: D+ Los Ojos de Julia aka Julia's Eyes (2010) http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...liasEyes10.jpg Produced by Guillermo del Toro, this is a very tightly packed Spanish suspense-thriller. From the very beginning to end you won't find any single dull moment or a minute to relax in its almost 2 hour long running time. The cast, camera works & the overall production values are pretty good also. The plot looks interesting at first but in the midway it becomes bit predictable. As a whole it was fairly enjoyable. >>: B+ Skeletons (2010) http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/.../Skeletons.jpg As a story it was a pleasant surprise with its quite original contents! A good Brit sweet comedy about the occupational as well as personal hazards of two psychic cleaners who removes 'Skeletons' from their clients' cupboards! >>: B+ |

Replace them with human enemies and call it something like "Invasion of Bin Laden on LA" and it wouldn't have been much different. |

Sebastian (1976)-If you like watching Roman Soldiers fighting and fucking out of sheer boredom then this is the controversial derek jarman film for you! However it would be unfair to dismiss this as simply moderate gay porn-there is an impressive amount of paganism to delight occultists plus there's an opening scene of festivities involving slaves dancing with giant phalluses that just has to be seen to be believed. There is also a reasonable amount of violence and though the martyrdom of sebastian does become tiresome at times, the end image will linger long in the mind.

The last two movies I have seen have not been horror movies. They where:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I loved the Harry Potter movies but Cloudy with a chance of meatballs where funny in places but just did not work for me, though I usually love quirky science fiction animation films. |
Fast Five
I wasn't expecting to, but I actually found this to be the best out of all the sequels. I liked that it *spoiler* picked up and continues directly from where the 4th one left off *end spoiler*. Considering I actually thought the fourth was among the weakest of the series it was nice to have something with a much better plot this time around, it seems a lot more work was put into the writing. Overall less racing oriented, more focussed on heist stuff, and dipping further into "action" territory - though the vehicle scenes don't disappoint and there's some great fight and chase scenes throughout. Not the stuff of genius but solidly entertaining, big recovery from this series. !For those going to see it, there is a scene at the end of the credits! |
Love Actually.
I know it's not Christmas...but I still love it!!! |

There Will Be Blood (again!) - 10.5/10
Two of the best acted, most breathtaking scenes in movie history! Wake Wood - 7/10 Nice little very British horror. What you would expect from the relaunch of Hammer. If you're a Yank watching this, try not to dismiss it as being run of the mill, try and watch it with the knowledge that it is staying true to our British/Hammer sensibilities. ps. Wicker you've gotta watch this if you haven't already; I know you'll love it! |

Went to see Disney's African Cats this afternoon...not really my kind of thing, didn't think I'd like it at all - but wow.
The narration is pretty silly at times (despite Samuel L. Jackson) and the "story" that they try to piece together seems a bit forced here and there...but man, just watching these animals move is breathtaking, really beautifully shot. It's definitely censored for young audiences - the kills all cut away or are conveniently shot behind scenery - but still, these creatures are incredible to watch. They are the very definition of grace and sheer power...my jaw was hanging open the whole time. |

There was nothing on TV last night that interested me, so I put John Carpenter's The Thing in the DVD player. Love this movie!

The Green Hornet
I didn't hate it, but Seth Grogan made me hate his character so much I wouldn't want to watch a sequal unless I was assured he would have a gruesome death! 5/10 |
Satanic-this really was an awful movie in the sense that it had some great ideas in it but they got lost in its poor execution. The fight scene at the end is one of the most woeful I have ever seen. In fact I'm only mentioning this film for its totally surprising reference to Ilsa:She Wolf Of The SS but that was only one scene and I doubt it was worth sitting through all of this. I only stuck it on originally to see Jeffrey Combs who was mentioned top billing in the cast list. Sadly he was only in it for 5minutes as a detective. I hope he was well paid for being associated with this piece of crap-he probably thought it would turn out to be a great film based on its script. Sadly it turned out to be very poor.

I believe you are a right-I fell for the same trick again a while back with Pray For Morning (2006) which had Udo Kier in top billing. Luckily this film was tons better than Satanic but you are only watching it for Udo Kier who has the best character, lines and presence in it. It's quite clever in the way they trick fans like this.

Oooh, only 4 V? What drags it down? How are the scenes in Asgard?
Child's Play 2. |
The CGI is absolutely brilliant.
I thought the film tried a wee bit to take itself too seriously in the beginning, and it was a slow buildup for the first 25-30 minutes. The length of the film could have easily lost at least 10-15 minutes and that would have made it a really fantastic ride. Otherwise, the characterisation is just about spot-on and Hemsworth looks every bit as the Norse God we all love, the pacing after the first half hour is perfect, and the action sequences are downright delicious. As it stands, it's good. Really good. Just like how a Thor film should be. Don't forget to check out the surprise cameo - it is indeed a real surprise!;) |

Kill The Irishman - 5/10
Light on narrative and heavy on cameos. Basically, it's a reasonably dull, factual gangster flick played by a seemingly endless procession of familiar faces from any gangster movie of note. Just a small point, the 'Irishman' definitely had an American accent :). I wonder if that'll show up in a movie bloopers show. Inception - 7/10 I was pretty tired last night when I put this on, so I may be being hard on it but, I thought it dragged a bit. The balance of effects with plot with acting performance was really balanced. There is real substance here, as you would expect from a Di Caprio movie. It was about 20 mins too long but still good. |
