Yup...seen that, liked that! ::cool::

But you may have just spoiled the movie for others who haven't seen it already. ::big grin::

"The Interview" 7/10

Ballsy and batshit crazy.

A 9.7 rating from 46.246 users on IMDB, which is the most insane rating i've ever seen.

"Exodus: Gods and Kings" 8/10

I don't think Ridley Scott could've found 2 whiter people to play Moses and Ramses than Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton. Wtf? And a white kid to play God? WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!

Nevertheless, if you're able to forget about religious history and peoples skin, you just might enjoy this movie as much as I did.

The Interview (2014)
A/B or 9
Solid movie with good jokes and some sweet action.
If you like the Seth Rogen/James Franco humour, you'll like this.

Quarantine (2008)
 
Remake of the Spanish found footage film REC. It's about a television reporter and her cameraman who follow a group of firefighters to a routine call at an apartment complex where a lethal virus breaks out that turns the victims into rabid predators.

Pretty much exactly the same as REC but without the atmosphere and authentic-feel. It's still pretty scary, though. If you're going to pick between this and REC, I recommend REC.

6/10

The Village
7/10


Fully engrossing film-scape and story. I think my enjoyment was helped by actually reading some descriptions before I saw it (which I usually avoid like the plague). I knew it wasn't going to be a scary gruesome film. It's a modern fairy tale grounded in reality.

The 'pilgrims progress' type of dialogue, and no contractions allowed, felt a bit literary, but the actors were so good, they pulled it off, and it lent to the feel of the purity the village was able to achieve.

The best lines from the film were,

Quote:

Mrs. Clack: How could you have sent her. She is blind.

Edward Walker: She is more capable than most in this village. And she is led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
If you love your family, especially if you have children, I think it's easy to appreciate the film's overall heart and message. It's a simple story. The cinematography, directing, sound and score are very smooth and engrossing.

horcrux2007 12-25-2014 06:05 PM

The Grudge 2 (2006)
 
Three interwoven stories of people haunted by the vengeful ghost that spreads its curse wherever it goes.

This was boring as hell, and the scares were so god damn repetitive. How many times does the movie feel it needs to show Kayako's hands coming from behind someone's head before killing them? We already saw that in the first one, and it was a lot more effective there. It had a good score and some great eye candy, and there were a couple times I did jump. However, this was just an unnecessary and tedious sequel made for the sole purpose of showing more ways that Kayako can kill people.

3/10

Knights of Badassdom (2013)
C+
Nice horror-comedy that's saved by the cast.

Redirected (2014)
B+
Lithuanian-British gangster comedy.
Imagine Lock, Stock/Snatch situations with ditto humour and violence.
Not as great but still pretty good.
And it's nice to see Vinnie Jones do what he does best.

THE HOBBIT:THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES (2014)- Visually stunning film that, like a lot of Jackson's Tolkien films goes on far too long in the story line. Worth seeing, but will always enjoy HEAVENLY CREATURES or THE FRIGHTENERS more. ***

no pace, suspense,tension,gore, thrills,or anything really. poor,poor,poor,poor. 1/10

ALIEN ABDUCTION
 
finallygot round to seeing one of the found footage contenders weve already gone past, wish i`d not bothered. just plain poor, a few dodgy camera shots with screechy effects. 2/10

The Sacrament (2013)
 
Three journalists document their co-worker's attempt to rescue his sister after she joins an exiled Christian cult.

This was a surprisingly good Netflix hidden gem. It's a very simple movie with lots of atmosphere and thrills, and cults just freak me out in general. My only problem is that they should have resolved a certain subplot at the end. Recommended if you have Netflix.

I disagree completely. I think Jackson spread the stories of LOTR and The Hobbit perfectly in 3 movies each. If he would have made only 2 movies for each series, there would have been so much missing; possibly important facts that tie everything together.

I am the same way; however, I only collect movies I know for certain that I will watch more than once. I used to buy everything if it was cheap enough but that became too much.......I will always be an avid movie collector though. Some movies just have to be in my collection, examples: LOTR trilogy, Matrix trilogy, Godfather trilogy, Saw series, Harry Potter series, Hobbit trilogy, and so forth.

Finally watched this movie today and I really liked it all the way to the ending and then I was disappointed::sad::

Why do movies have to end like that?!::mad::

Annabelle.
I only recently saw, and was somewhat pleasantly surprised by "The Conjuring", so naturally I checked this out.
Didn't like it. Aside from the slightly shocking opening scenes, and maybe one more scene (basement) I found it almost completely lacking atmosphere.
The lead actress was more wooden than the doll. It wasn't interesting. There was no "Ahhh, so that's how it happened" factor at all. Bland movie.
I was honestly just waiting for this one to end.
I'll check out the second conjuring film when it comes out, but I'll hope it's better than this one was.

horcrux2007 12-27-2014 03:58 PM

I've heard everyone talking about a basement scene, but I don't remember one at all.

In the Mouth od Madness (1994)

I was really shocked how good this movie actually was. I never heard of it before, but I found it in a horror list in the internet so I gave it a shot. My girlfriend also saw this movie already, and she said that I should really watch this movie. And so I did, and it was an awesome experience. I never read Lovecraft before, but of course I see that this movie has taken its ideas largely from Lovecrafts works, and it convinced me to order Lovecraft books after. Great movie.

Yes, two films for Lord of the Rings would have left too much out. Actually, Jackson left too much out already, but it wasn't totally a time issue, there's scenes that are longer than they need to be, especially some battles, and the drawn out 'goodbye' sequence at the end of the Return of the King is painful.

I think the first one, Fellowship of the Ring, was the best. The pacing was excellent, and the character development & heart was generous & expertly engaging. All the other films really are lacking there. ( I own them all). I would have preferred the film series in four films, keeping as much rich detail from the novel as possible.

The 1st two Hobbit films suffer a bit from going too long on the SFX action sequences. They're really well done, it's just many go on too long, at the expense of rich story detail & character development.

Interstellar (2014)
 
In a last plot to save mankind, a team of space explorers journey to distant worlds in order to create a colony.

This was an unimaginably beautiful, intriguing, and intense film. Despite being a three hour movie, it keeps your attention with twists, breathtaking imagery, and thought-provoking themes. If you have a developed attention span and an open mind, you'd be a fool to not see this. Interstellar is the best movie I've seen all year.

10/10

She goes downstairs to some basement/garage/storage area at some point, then she hears a baby crying or some such, sees the pram, then a black figure behind it - gets into the elevator and the door keeps opening after she tries to shut it.

Though, the conjuring did much the same "dread" effect (only better) with the daughter of the two paranormal investigators, when the darkness came towards her.

"Foxcatcher" 7/10

A movie about two wrestling brothers and one eccentric sponsor, to say the least. Very slow paced and not overly exciting, but it did contain one shocking scene at the end.
Great performances from Tatum and Carell. Ruffalo played himself as always.

P.s. Am I the only one who's thinking of Family Guy's BUTTSCRATCHER!! when seeing the title? ::big grin::
