You're welcome! ::big grin::

Ryan Reynolds didn't make it any better.

The good thing is, you're not gay after all. ::big grin::

So I need to like Ryan Reynolds to be gay? ::big grin::

Well duh!!

That's what I have Christian Bale for.

Reminds me of Straw Dogs when the woman gets raped by Alexnder Skarsgård and I was thinking, come on woman how disturbing can it be? *Devil smiley*

Ok, he's hotter?

I would say he's a far better actor, but better looking? Naah..

Patrick Bateman would say otherwise.

Is Patrick Bateman gay?? Wow!!

no, I mean... never mind

Sorry, I was thinking Jason Bateman. Now it makes sense. :D

The Atticus Institute (2015)
B-
Cool found footage/fake documentary.

Horns

Loved it!!

9/10

Just because its the same guy doesn't mean the song styles are going to be the same. The movie's couldnt have been any different and so are the songs

Yeah i can see Norton getting a supporting nomination for this as well. It gets a little artsy at times but strangely not in a bad way and im not big on artsy films.

Well at least you didn't like this one

Whatcha mean?

I was upset that you didn't like the original and i'm saying at least you didn't like the crap remake either.

That makes sense. I think the overuse of the crappy special effects really killed the vibe for me. I loved the scene in the original where the girl is locked in the closet, and you see the daughter just blankly staring at the door. That was a really scary scene, and I wish other scenes in the movie were like that. In the remake, they just ruined the scene with a god damn jump scare. The remake as a whole was a lot more busy and flashy, which is very rarely a good thing.

Yeah exactly. The original was much more subtle. The remake was typical jump scare, loud noise flashy crap.

I also liked the part where the daughter was singing to "Jodie", and Kathy comes in. You see the chair rock for maybe a second, and that freaked me out too.

Yeah that was much better than the overuse of the dead little girl in the remake

The Last House on the Left (2009)

After torturing two girls and leaving them to die, a group of escaped convicts take shelter from a storm in a couple's vacation home, but they get more than what they bargained for when they learn whose house it really is.

I haven't seen this in a couple years, so my memory of it was a little fuzzy. Now I know that it was far better than I expected. A huge improvement to the original was a consistently dark atmosphere. In Wes Craven's version, it felt silly at times, namely the scenes with the cops and the whole "Willow" stuff. This remake was also a lot more intense and suspenseful, and the danger felt a lot more real. The ending may somewhat blunt the movie's overall effect, but, hey, how often do you get that sort of ending in a horror movie? The rape scene was very difficult to sit through because it was so long and realistic, which is my only real complaint. If you had to choose to watch the original or the remake, I would go with the remake because it's a lot more thrilling, and it's far superior to Wes Craven's version overall.

8/10

LEMON TREE PASSAGE 2014

There's an urban legend that if you drive real fast down Lemon Tree Passage at night, you will see the ghost of a motorcyclist killed there. And you have to be a car full of teenagers. So this is what a car full of teenagers do and then we get to see what happens to them.

Found it lame and needlessly convoluted.

"The Imitation Game" 5/10

I gotta admit, I felt really dumb while watching this one. A true story about Alan Turing, a mathematic genius who, together with other geniuses, invents a machine to crack the Nazi's Enigma Code. I was bored throughout. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch was too old to play a 27 year old Alan Turing. He IS a terrefic actor tho.




"Big Eyes" 7/10

It was alright, but one of Tim Burton's least remarkable creations. Christoph Waltz was at the top of his game and seemed to really enjoy playing the awfull and manipulative character Walter Keane. If it wasn't for him this movie might have been a little bit boring.

I am disappointed with your review, I have been looking forward to this movie. I will still watch it for myself though. The trailers made it look interesting. ::confused::

I really want to see this one too, it seems like a different style for Tim Burton.

You will probably have a completely different opinion about it. I just might not be smart enough to appreciate such movies. ::embarrassment::


A different style indeed. I didn't notice a single Burton trademark other than Waltz colorful and slightly cartoonish character.

Fantastic movie!! The characters and acting are so strong. Wow, I can't believe that I didn't catch this one before.

Shock Value (2014)

Very clever and blackly funny low budget meta horror.

This movie is about making a movie: The Whorehouse that Screamed. The characters deliver some of the best horror-movie satire I've seen in a while, perhaps ever.

The snarky director thinks his horror movie-making experience gives him "the mind of a serial killer," moreso than his perfectly-cast actor, whom the director selected because he happens to be a real serial killer. Meanwhile, the killer acts indifferent to the project, yet practices his lines self-consciously in a mirror and calls out the writer/director for plot holes. The producer politely asks the actor/killer not to murder the director after the film is done, and Malcolm McDowell, in a sleazy cameo as a washed up actor, pitches his big idea: to play Dracula in a found-footage, "edgy, 21st century reboot" that boasts "modern stuff, like the internet."

Chock full of true meta stuff that doesn't rely on characters spelling out the satirical references, the way Scream, Cabin in the Woods, and Behind the Mask do. Heck, the makeup effects guy even looks like Tom Savini. This one will make horror fans smile, and the story's not bad either.

Recommended for black comedy fans who appreciate horror satire, and aren't adverse to low budget indies.

8/10

"Birdman" 6/10

Had its few funny moments, but the story just didn't appeal to me.

The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (2013)

I think this movie is about a guy who's wife went missing, and he spends the length of the film searching for her. However, what we really see is a 102-minute collage of bloody sex and death, done in masterful giallo fashion. Each scene rotates between stylings of Bava, Argento and Fulci, from black & white to saturated green & red washes of light, from split screen to ultra-closeups, from crime intrigue to bloody violence, from kaleidoscopic psychedelia, to choppy stop motion, to the slow drip of red, red blood. Unfortunately, however, without a plot of any substance, it all starts to wear thin after a while. Perhaps if the directors wanted a reason to show off their deep appreciation of everything giallo, and their impeccable technical acumen in paying homage, they could have instead broken the vignettes up into actual stories, and released the film as an anthology, like they did with their first effort, Amer, which in my opinion is just as artistic, but much more accessible.

Despite the flaws, the visuals are so good that I have to still give it:

7/10

I watched this one as well, I enjoyed it.

Boa vs. Python

Well you should pretty much have an idea what this movie is gonna be like before even watching it. But even so, I did enjoy it especially since they didnt take the film serious there's some nice comedy in it but not to the point to where its not enjoyable. Atleast for me but I enjoy some cheese.

Collar, 2014. 8/10



Felt Nicholson's style all over this film, as always amazing gore FX.

Speed Racer 2008
7/10

"A young driver, Speed Racer, aspires to be champion of the racing world with the help of his family and his high-tech Mach 5 automobile."

Some excellent casting with Matthew Fox as Racer X, John Goodman as Pops, Roger Allam as E.P. Arnold Royalton; not so much with Christina Ricci as Trixie & Emile Hirsch as Speed Racer.

Thought Speed Racer & the Wachowski Bros (the Matrix) was a perfect match. After all, the 1966 Speed Racer animated cartoon originated the (animated) camera spin around the character (seen at end of TV intro).

I was a fan of the animated cartoon (have never seen any cartoon like it, & never anything close post 1980s). I thought it'd make a good live action film once SFX caught up.

Unfortunately, the Wachs choose a neon-lights & toy video-game race track environment for much of the racing, which I thought looked horrible -- both in looks & an unrealistic physics feel. During production, I wish they would have reviewed the overall look, acknowledged it's defects, & started over without the neon. I think a more realistic look & physics would have looked better, just as it did in the cartoon.

Despite the look, Speed Racer does capture the authentic feel of the Racer family's fight for pure honest sport, art, goodness & justice. It incorporates the brother theme into the fight against injustice & evil. The film is effectively fun & entertaining.

Speed Racer makes a homage to a number of the TV episode themes, including a disappointingly tonned-down Mammoth Car. I think making a full-sized Mammoth Car the central focal point for the film's climax (including the original Mammoth Car musical theme) would have been extremely effective. The Mammoth Car being an excellent symbol of the corporate corruption, excess & power.

Also, I think the film played too loose on Speed Racer's intense sense of justice & immediate action, which really propelled the TV series. I would have liked to see the intense, dangerous & wildly creative racing events play a dominate role in the film, much in the way the film Road Warrior did so successfully. I think the film missed on attention to key focal points. Would love to see them try it again, going with a Mammoth Car sequel.

"Alpha Dog" 5-6/10

That's a crazy number of famous faces in a movie that isn't particularly good. First half of the story is about young criminal people having sex and partying. Actually that goes on in most of the movie. Last half could've been taken out of a Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) novel. One of his weakest, that is.

weve been on a bit of a robin williams kick at the moment so no horror for last couple of days but some movies from his back catalogue we`d not seen...

the night listener

a late night radio host recieves a manuscript from an abused boy who is dying and forms a friendship over the phone.....but not everything is as it seems.

Death Wish 1 - 4
I love these movies.
Wouldn't mind seeing a remake of the series with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

What We Do In The Shadows (2014)
A
Brilliant and original movie.

Haven't seen any past #2 yet. I'm enjoying them so far though, only a recent first time viewing for me...Dirty Harry as well, couldn't get into that, loved the DW stuff thus far though.

I watched Little Nicky with a friend that hadn't seen it, baked out of our minds.
Yeah, pretty stupid, but one of my preferred of Sandlers heyday.

Death Wish 1 and 3 are my favorites.
Dirty Harry kicks ass too but in a slighty different way.
I think The Deadpool is the coolest. It has Jim Carrey and the original Guns N' Roses.

Absentia

So boring I just couldnt get into this one. Very uneventful.

I actually like this one. I didn't know the first time that I watched it that it was based on a true story. After reading about the real story, I watched it a second time to see how close they were to the truth, not bad.
