Boogeyman 2.

There are a trilogy of Boogeyman films. They aren't that good and barely connected to each other. They don't seem to have a strong grasp on what they want the Boogeyman to be. I still like the Halloween boogeyman. Also the animated Ghostbusters version.

I vaguely remember the first Boogeyman film it was so forgettable. I might have to see it again as I could have seen another version. Boogeyman 3, I only remember a few naughty shots of some girls in the opening and ending parts of the movie. Boogeyman 2 is by far the best in the series. Which isn't saying much. But it has some good death scenes. Especially the final one which is a Friday the 13th scene with a crazy twist.

Had to watch The People under the Stairs. The ole lady had never seen it. She liked it. Kept askin about the house "its huge" Kept tellin her baby its hollywood.

the raven

serial killer killing people the exact same way as in edgar allen poes storys so the police use edgar to help track down the killer

really good,especially if you have read poes storys

8/10

Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. Not to bad. Nothing like the old school stuff but I love how they did the whole 'Not what it appears to be' routine.
If you like redneck humor it's decent. Nothing to write home about but watchable for sure and it can get a few laughs.

>> God Bless America (2011) : B-

>> Shakma (1990) :

Simply loved this movie! One crazy ass, killer Baboon set loose & brutally attacks & kills a group of young scientists who were about to play a "Dungeons & Dragons" type role-playing game in a large scientific research building. The cast includes Christopher Atkins, Amanda Wyss & fantastic Roddy McDowell.

Obviously it's cheesy but it delivered the fun that was expected and also offers a decent amount of blood & gore till the end.

They should have made a sequel where Shakma team up with Ella (Monkey Shines) in another murderous rampage!

>>: B+

>> Beyond (2012)

Good cast, mediocre story.

>>: C

>> Baxter (1989)

Beware of the dog who thinks!

One of the fascinating dark comedies I have seen so far! Through the perspective of Baxter (a bull terrier), the film beautifully depicts the "human" in an "animal" as well as the "animal" within "human". A must-see if you haven't seen it yet.

I love Shakma. Took me forever to find it but i was glad i did. Probably my favorite evil monkey movie but it's hard to decide between that and Link.

CANNIBAL HOLACAUST

Finally got to see this as iv heard so many good things,was pretty good ,some cool scenes like a guy getting his dick chopped off,lots of rape scenes and sick stuff.
i thought the movie dragged on a bit though.maybe should have made the first half where the main guy goes to visit the villigas a bit shorter and just got strait to the dead young journalist footage.

7/10

oh and a NORML doco.i agree with legalization and how corrupt the government is by how they deal with cannabis and that,but alot of the stuff some of those people go on about,like its some kind of mirical drug is a bit bull shit.i wounder what the medicinal users will say now that they have found a strain which has all the same properties of good weed with out the thc(in other words without the HIGH part)
be like"naa maan my backs still sore,it doesnt woork maan,its all a government conspiricy maan"

RE-ANIMATER

Fuckin loved this movie,alot different to the h.p lovecraft story i remember reading but still fuckin ace

9/10

Silent House (2011)

Added Shakma to my watch list. You always hear stories every once a while about apes escaping zoos and walking around at night. You think they are friendly but then can go crazy if messed with. I heard a story about a trained monkey that went after a person with a vengeance. He was even opening doors to get to the person. Sadly, I think they killed him.

don't open till christmas

Savages

Not bad. Nothing too memorable but i liked it especially the ending.

whats that movie actually about?

hard day at work man,couldnt possibly have gone back one page might have pulled a finger muscle

Much more likeable than the Raimi/Maguire trio.
Much closer to Spidey's comic book storytelling as well, although not without minor flaws of it's own, it's a tribute to his origins, with the whole story of Gwen Stacy giving Parker a solid background. (sorely missed in the Raimi trio)
The Lizard makes for a great villain as well, and the climactic moments have a sense of deja vu (shake them off, for both have borrowed generously from the comic books)
All in all, a superb entertainer in it's own right. And yes, a fantastic 3D cinematic experience as well.

Add another solid entry into the found footage sub-genre.
Critics and bashers be damned, this is actually a film which is much better than all the PA sequels combined.
Well fleshed out characters, excellent background premise, nicely paced narrative, and some really nice performances to boot.
The first 30-35 minutes were slow (even by mockumentary standards), but that could be called nitpicking. Not to mention minor narrative flaws, which don't sideline the pace at anytime.
And wow, that jaw-dropping climax! Most people hate it, but I personally liked it.
Stop making comparisons and enjoy this for what it's worth - a great film bogged down by too many expectations. I loved this film, and eagerly await it's sequel.

Wow! Unbelievable! Had very low expectation on it, because of that cheesy trailer, main cast & seemingly more "teenage audience" targeting approach as well as the whole untimely reboot. Thanks for the rec, looking forward to give it a watch asap.

I didn't like Last Exorcism...perhaps kinda bad print quality played a major role on that viewing, cause found it pretty boring. After you review, thinking to give it another try sometime soon.

If you are a fan of the comics, you will love this one more. Raimi's trio were more centered on action, whereas Webb has gone for a more humane approach to Spidey's origins. Plus Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy is a major highlight of the film. I would recommend it for a definite watch.

Do it. Sometimes second viewings change the perception of a film drastically. That is exactly how I came to appreciate Evil Dead 2 more than the original - my first watch of ED2 had left with me with a cheesy, unoriginal vibe. Today, I think I may have watched ED2 more times than ED.

I 100% disagree about The Amazing Spiderman, I was not impressed at all. I felt like I was watching a generic version of the original Spiderman. The original had way more detail in it compared to this one. I do not recommend it.

Annual viewing of Jaws whilst floating in my pool...with a beer of course :D

to all a goodnight campy 80's fun

Retreat (2011)

Pretty disappointed with this one - The writing was awful; absolutely no subtlety to be found... The characters were unlikable (but I think you were supposed to like/sympathize with them, which made it a problem), and they constantly did (or didn't do) actions that made little sense. Interesting twist at the end; would have appreciated it more if the tension was believable and not silly.

2/5.

The Help


good movie...thought provoking...funny...sad and some great performances all around

Totally agree. Love that movie!

Friday The 13th Part 5 A New Beginning.

Love this part even with the whole Roy thing going on.

"Fright Night" (2011)
-Colin Farrell Anton Yelchin

Plot: IMDB
A remake of the 1985 original, teenager Charley Brewster (Yelchin) guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (Tennant), a self proclaimed vampire killer and Las Vegas magician, to help him take down Jerry.

Phantom's Review: First, let me say, I'm a huge fan of the original. I saw it in the theaters back in the '80's and thought it was one of the most entertaining and original takes on the vampire concept. Full of interesting and likeable characters, fine FX and a great story.
Which brings me to the remake. If your a fan of the original...SKIP THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!
All the characters have been "re-imagined" and are now all thoroughly unlikeable. "Charlie" is now a self absorbed little shit. "Evil" Ed is just an obnoxious lout and worst of all is the "Peter Vincent" character, who is now just a foul mouthed and totally unlikeable figure.
Like so many remakes, this one doesn't hold a candle to the original. What a waste of time..

i left that movie to the missus

i like part 5,thought that was one of the better ones

yeah i know,what a fuck up that was :rolleyes:

That was my first thoughts too

but give it a chance...it was a good movie

Did you find parts of the movie painful to watch? As in, the reminder of what it was like in the South back in the 50s and 60s?

Very much so...even though I was just a wee lad in the 60s :D

Same here :p

Krabat: The Sorceror's Apprentice (2008) German fantasy drama. Done very well with a polished production but definitely a coming of age movie in actual fact as the fantasy elements are secondary. Not enough sorcery and where there was some it was all allegory of peer group bonding and theatrical initiation (a la university). The most interesting character "The Gevatter" was kept mysterious which was a plus but on the whole it was a very unenjoyable, predictable, cop out of a film. It could have been truly exceptional if they took some risks instead of playing it timidly safe. If you like coming of age films and seeing a character going on a "journey" and other cliches you will lap it up though.

the mutilator

Fantastic film love it :)

Watching "Glory" right now

mother's day the 1980 one

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Rewatched because wife wanted to see it.

She was impressed, me a bit more from my first watch. Hard to find flaws in such a smooth narrative, complete with moments of sheer horror. Appreciate the film for what it is, and you will love it as much as I did.
