The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo(foreign) & Oldboy
Holy shit. Never gonna get around to reading "The girl" series so i figured id start watching em. Incredible movie and there is no way the American version is going to be better. Female lead is great..... The Holy shit is for Oldboy Nothing like ive ever seen. Im literally still on my couch, jaw dropped, trying to come to grips with what i just watched. Absolutely incredible and overall might be the best foreign movie ive ever seen. Cancel your plans and watch this movie....tonite. |

Started watching BATMAN (89) but...too stoned and drunk to get much past a third of the way without starting to doze...I was really enjoying it though so I will be reprising my viewing today.
In my opinion this film did everything right, took elements of both the original Detective series, and Millers work and blended them into a great film. Gotham looked "right". The Joker had a suitably dastardly madman plan going on, the origin story was there, the rivalry...the coolest car, best suit/equipment if you ask me. While not as deliberately dark as Nolans work, it captured the Batman universe that I know and love. Good atmosphere, Keaton and Nicholson were solid, and the musical score fit the overally tone really well. I mean it's too bad that the three to follow, even including to am extent Burtons second Bat-film, were pretty much downhill from here. But yeah, enjoyable film to revisit. |

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...CZqVPIgB93K_ES Antichrist This probably could have been a pretty kick ass movie had it been shortened down by cutting out about 45 mins of filler imo. 2/5 http://cdn-2.nflximg.com/en_us/boxsh...d/70019002.jpg Alexandra's Project Not exactly what I was expecting but not too terrible. If you wanna watch something kinda different this is one to check out. 3/5 |
Christmas Evil AKA You Better Watch Out
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...R50214317_.jpg\ Continuing my Christmas Horror Movie Marathon. This movie is really hokey and strange but it works for it and like Silent Night, Deadly Night it was what i was expecting. One thing this movie has going for it is that the performance by Brandon Maggart, who plays Harry, is really good. It may not be the most realistic descent into madness but the way it's done and the way he portrays it with his mannerisms and the insanity in his face and eyes you really could believe that he was someone who would snap and go on a killing spree dressed as Santa Claus. Add in the scary music and the uncomfortable, awkward ways he did things and the things he said and this movie was generally creepy at times. I still think Silent Night, Deadly Night is more fun but this is definitely the better movie. It's not a perfect movie and Maggart's performance isnt Oscar worthy despite the praise i gave but it was perfect for the movie and exactly how it should have been. |

I've been stuck on a Netflix kick. Last night I watched "Hell Night", "The Initiation", and "The Burning". They were ok, but I found the body count lacking, especially in "The Burning". I found the low body count odd in the case of "The Burning", because it had the best kill individual kill scene of the three and clearly the biggest budget of the lot. Nothing special overall. I'd love to hear any suggestions for slashers on netfilx.

Insidious! Finally!
Great flick.:cool: |
Stake Land: Post apocalyptic road movies seem to be in fashion right now and while I thought this was pretty good I wanted alot more. Loved the vampires and style of the movie but the story was too generic and kinda clumsy in its delivery. Our hero walks into the woods a boy and out of them a man, there's even a pretty young woman waiting for him at the other end. For a 'low' budget movie the acting is solid, Kelly McGillis (Top Gun) puts in an awesome peformance.
There were a few elements of the film that really bugged me but I'd definately recommend it. The vampires alone make it worth watching, a welcome change from the more typical 'super cool' vampires. |
In Time (2011)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...hdc/InTime.jpg The concept was fine but it needed a better story & some interesting, well developed characters which was missing. >>: C Catch .44 (2011) http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...dc/Catch44.jpg >>: C- The Ides of March (2011) http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...desofmarch.jpg >>: B |
Whie Noise 2-The Light (2007) Was really surprised by this as it's completely different to the first film there's no connection to it at all really. Not without it's flaws (dodgy acting and too sugar coated FX) but still a refreshing change from the first film and by far the best of the two.

Battleground
Check out the great poster art from the Dude Designs HERE it's completely killer. Bit more of a slow burner than I expected but enjoyable all the same. Nice and subtle compared to the majority of action films these days which I appreciated. No doubt this will be a bit to "low budget" for most people but those who were fans of the lesser known action films of the 80s will get a kick out of it. This won't completely blow you away or anything but I thought it was decent and did a great job of getting the vibe of the period down. |

I'm planning on watching MARTYRS next week on one of my days off from work!!!!! :eek: |
XMen Origins:Wolverine-wanted to watch this for a while (it will probably also take a few years to get around to First Class given how huge my "To Watch" list is. Anyway this was a pretty solid entry to the XMen movie franchise. Not true to the original comics but I expected that so taken on its own merits it was fairly entertaining. Not earth shattering but a harmless way to spend two hours nonetheless.

The Skin I Live In (2011)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...inILiveIn3.jpg A very colorful & gorgeous looking thriller but the story wasn't as good as I expected, though Banderas & Elena Anaya were great in their respective roles of a "vengeful mad doctor and his victim". >>: B |
The Cat (2011)
http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...dc/TheCat2.jpg This is a beautiful K-Horror. Expect nothing new or exceptional, the story was pretty simple & decently plotted with a typical Asian flavor. Loved it. >>: B+ |

Not on par with the first Jurassic Park but a solid debut feature from actor Paddy Considine. |

Shark Night 3D
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Bit disappointing really. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece or anything but this just didn't really deliver on it's promisingly trashy premise. Needed more OTT gore and nudity :p Didn't really see enough of the sharks either. A painless enough timewaster if you're in the mood for something mindless and lowbrow but ultimately forgettable. Final Destination 5 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Wow. This was more like it and it took me completely by surprise. Out of the entire series I only really liked the second film and I figured they just somehow fluked it after the mediocre films that followed it and the bland Screamteen original. Final Destination 5 would have to rate as one of the most entertaining films I've watched this year. Not Oscar material at all but lots of fun delivered at breakneck pace. Normally I'm watching the clock waiting for something like this to end but the film just didn't give me a chance to get bored. Wish I had made it out to the theatre for this one now. |
Black Christmas
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...R10214317_.jpg I was really expecting more from this movie. It's not bad i guess but theres a few things that bother me. The killer is supposed to come off as unsettling and creepy but for me, he was just annoying. I couldn't stand the phone calls and could barely understand what was being said. SPOILERS:My biggest problem with the movie is that you never find out anything about the killer. In the end it's revealed that he's just some crazy guy in the attic which would be fine but even though it's hard to understand, you still get bits and pieces of information during the obscene phone calls that implies that theres a story to this killer but then nothing is ever explained. It just seems pointless.END OF SPOILERS It could be worse though...it could be the remake. |
re: your spoiler. That was one of the things I liked about the killer in Black Christmas. Personally I thought the phone calls were pretty effective. But each to their own... although I should be yelling BLASPHEMY!!! :D

I liked it. But then again, I am a big fan of the FD series so this should come as no surprise. It might have been a blast watching the film in 3D, but even the 2D viewing was a pretty decent experience. Fans of the series won't be disappointed at all. Kudos to the writers for churning out yet another series of innovative deaths, just when you thought they couldn't get any more creative (nor innovative) than the last one. And - HERE THERE BE SPOILERS - fans will also love the way the story ties in neatly with the original FD. Also, stay for a bit after the film is over, to enjoy a glorious and colorful montage of almost all the deaths in the FD series. Which reminds me, watch closely during the opening title sequences (glass shattering must have been a hoot in 3D), and you will make out several instruments of death which have been used in the series so far. Pretty nice touch by the makers to remind everyone that it's a FD film. * * * |

Santa's Slay
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...R20214317_.jpg Oh man is this ever horrible but also hilarious. It's definitely one of those so bad it's good movies. I loved how there was no set up for Santa's attacks. He would just show up and kick some ass. |
