CREATURE



Did you just watch the trailer


good...save yourself 91 more minutes of your life and skip the movie.


if you must watch it it's on Netflix instant

I'm a little over half way through this movie, boiling some water for tea.
I don't always post a lot of the movies I watch but I thought in this case I should head in to mention this one.
"God Bless America".
This movie, is just the shit and I think everyone here should see it.
This is the movie I now want to make all my friends watch.
I'm leaving it at that.

Been wanting to see that one since I saw the trailer a few months back

See it.
Make it the next film you watch.

edit:
Finished watching it.
Thoughts the same.
Very solid movie.
I cannot believe this came from the mind of Bobcat Goldthwaite.
Impressed in almost every way.
It's not new ground, but old ground covered in a good way.
Fans of films like "Falling Down", and people that don't enjoy people will enjoy this.

Chernobyl Diaries - 6/10

Don't go into this movie expecting anything new or special and you will probably enjoy it... I noticed a lot of critics ripped it apart but honestly I had fun watching it and would definitely see it again.

The Kill List - 6.5/10

Strange film... glad I saw it, yet I feel like I need to see it again to give it a better assessment. Would recommend it though if you like psychological thrillers that make you interpret a lot of what happens in the film instead of spelling it out to you.

Have you not seen Shakes the Clown or Worlds Best Dad - both great films.

The Life & Death of a Porno Gang (2009)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...Porno-Gang.jpg

Not as good or there's nothing similar to A Serbian Film actually but an interesting film filled with nudity, sex & gore but more of a pretty sad story.

Die Farbe aka The Colour (2010)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...c/DieFarbe.jpg

A German adaptation of Lovecraft's "The Color Out of Space". Though bit slow but they gave it a pretty good treatment; liked it.

>>: B+

I saw The Raven (2012) last night.

I'm not a big John Cusack fan but I must say I thought the movie was pretty well done! Definitely worth a watch for anyone who likes Edgar Allan Poe.

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ogrl/kevin.jpg


Finally got around to seeing this movie and found it truly unsettling and unnerving. Utterly brilliant acting all around - Tilda Swinton as the overwrought mother is absolutely breathtaking and sad. This is a really well-done true "Bad Seed" movie - Kevin is horrifying and Eva, the mother, is both sympathetic and also despicable.

Seriously recommended. 4/5.

Neither.
Does he have a similar role in their production?
Have you seen GBA?


So I just saw the Dark Knight Rises.
I'll white-out my spoilers.

For the folks that haven't see it yet, my thoughts are mainly positive.
For me, it wasn't my favourite of the current series (I'm in something of a minority, mine is actually Batman Begins) but it was a solid entry.
I feel like it suffered from the same thing Kill Bill did, to an extent...it did feel like a closing. I think this would best be viewed as part of a marathon - I might do this next time.
"Batman in the Daytime"...it's so strange to see...and while holding the overall tone of the film quite well, it didn't really feel like "Gotham" in atmosphere?
The plot was not bad, and the new characters were for the better part, likable.
The fight/s between Batman and Bane were great.
I think it's a very well done film and I'd be hard pressed to find too much wrong with it.
Spoiler bits for those that have seen it...

So it was the autopilot Bruce Wayne "fixed" yes?
Why do you folks think he went with "dying" though...I would say that it's in order to have a true "redemption" in the eyes of Gotham, kind've cemented Batman ad the "legend who saved the city".
I didn't mind Levitt as the cop/Robin. I don't think he'll ever BE "the" Robin, but from the look of it, if the reboot continues in this universe we may see him as a temporary (or even permanent?) replacement/addition to Batman.
I liked how they portrayed him though, quite a lot - he was just a really genuinely good person.
Bane - done better, of course.
Though I have to say while being stoned off some great green edibles, all I kept thinking was "he's doing Sean Connery really over the top"
He was a suitable threat.
The Talia connection was great - a genuine twist I didn't see coming and while it was VERY "Talia" (for fans of the comic incarnation) it was not very "Bane".
Don't get me wrong, I thought this version of the storyline was great, and as much as I enjoyed it, I couldn't help but think they'd done Bane as though he were a henchman, yet again. This was slightly disappointing.
I mean we got better than we did last time. I guess that's a win.
Kind of a nice story between villains too.


Overall guys, it was worth seeing big-screen - just make sure you take a huge piss before you go in and consume your drinks very slowly.
More like survival mode.
Hopefully this bullshit tragedy that's been born on opening night doesn't completely threaten the future of the Batman film franchise.
I also hope that the "reboot", if it's continuing in the same universe will pay more respect to Nolans work than Joel Schumacher gave to Burtons vision.

Speaking of I'd really like to see Hm "the other guy" developed further in this universe.
I also think the character "HUSH" would be right at home in this universe.

Watched these to get myself psyched for Dark Knight Rises which i'm seeing on Sunday

Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/..._V1_SY317_.jpg

I liked the basic story in this one. Jason heads home, wonders who the fuck all these people are and starts killing. My only comment on is this movie is that obviously by the title someone at some point had meant for this to be the last one. If that had been true, it would have been a pretty pathetic way to end the series and Jason himself. Although Jason Goes To Hell was a pretty terrible way to end it too.

I am so glad you liked it. Everyone around me didn't like it too much and we are pretty much in the minority for this one.

"The Haunting of Whaley House" 7-8/10

Maybe except for the medium (the only person who wasn't hysteric) the entire cast was beyond unbearable. But holy hell did the cheap jump scares work well. Almost gave me a heart attack several times.

Recommended for the haunted house fans.

Very strange, interesting though meandering at times. It ends on suck a shocker. Some great acting in it too.

Oh, weird - I thought it was pretty favored around here (then again when people were posting about it I skipped reviews so as not to spoil it for me).

Oh, glad you liked this one:)

Just give me the names, buddy! I'll recommend them Creature & The Bunny Game back to back!:mad:

[Rec.] 2 (2009)

Saw it only once before, just gave it a watch again to refresh the memory.

[REC.]3 Genesis (2012)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...idhdc/rec3.jpg

It was definitely a fun watch considering a zombie outbreak-like film but as a part of REC. franchise it quite significantly lacks the intensity & thrill of first 2 films. Though it wasn't an issue but just FYI, this is the 1st film in the series where they use the POV format only for the first 15 to 20 minutes then filmed the rest like a regular movie. Yeah...there are some clues about its particular 'outbreak' but the mystery & the shock value which they nicely carried in the first 2 parts are almost absent here. Disappointed to say but to me, this is more of a zombedy than a REC film.

Shutter Island- I've seen this movie a few times before and I really like it; it makes me want to read the book. It seems like people either love or hate this movie.

batman begins

the one batman movie i hadnt seen .was good ,not quite as good as the darknight.was allmost like a matial arts type film.looking foward to seeing the new one....lucky we dont have guns on easy acsess in nz ;)

The Dark Knight Rises
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/..._V1_SY317_.jpg

I remember having a conversation with my brother awhile back that i hadnt seen a really epic movie any more. The kind that just seems big and important.

Well i just saw one.

This was incredible. The perfect way to end the trilogy. So much is tied in with the other previous films that instead of it just being the third and last, it encompasses everything.

I had some complaints at first though. There were parts in the beginning that dragged and there were a lot of new characters and at points it didnt even feel like a Batman movie but once you get to the end, you can see that all the parts that dragged were just good story building. The characters were all done well unlike bloated movies like Spiderman 3 and i absolutely loved the ending. I can't think of a better way for them to end it.

"Some Guy Who Kills People" 8/10

You wouldn't think so, but this flick is actually really cute.

The main Character and his daugther are just adorable together. Would've loved the story to be just about those two and their blossoming relationship and just skip the kills and the background story behind them.

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

Low budget slasher from the 80s. Slow at places and has some atrocious acting but builds up some nice suspense. And as usual, an eye-rolling climax.

* *

...and because the above film above didn't satiate my slasher needs...

Always loved this one. One of the best Italian slashers ever made, IMO. Fantastic cinematography, loud background music, dreamy visuals, and some superb kills.

"Lizzie" (2012) 2/10

On paper the story sounded really good. On screen it was hopeless. Completely hopeless.

Agree on both.

Dolores Claiborne (1995) : B

Rites of Spring (2011)

The Dark Knight Rises

Enjoyed it, although I think it could have had an hour shaved off it. Loved the ending!

Fell asleep huh? ;) :D

The Dark Knight Rises

Perfect!! Loved it, can't give it enough praise. I didn't think it was too long at all and the ending was great.

LOL! Not this time. But, my butt was numb by the time the movie was over. :p

Striking Distance.

Can't even remember the last film I've seen, slept since then but I'm about to watch Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, I'm hoping it wont dissapoint

Army Of Darkness

Sam Rami's horror/comedy classic. My 5 year old daughter saw it for the first time and she loved it. The next generation of fans has arrived.

The Haunting of Whaley House (2012)

Pussy!:D

Found only the scene on the stairway decently done, other than that pretty average shit.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...GL._SX500_.jpg

Pretty decent anthology with a plethora of stars.

I just recently bought this and I had forgotten how well it was done for the time period.

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

Where is the love for this, horror fans?

It starts off really well, with an interesting and novel premise, and builds up into a superbly decent film. Even though low key and shot throughout one particular night, it builds up plenty of atmosphere and suspense and maintains it pretty well throughout. There's enough gore to satisfy the gorehounds as well, 1-2 scenes pretty cringeworthy.

All in all, a nice little low budget effort which could very well turn out to be a under-appreciated gem of the genre.

Highly recommended.

Hmmm, I don't remember ever hearing about it. I'll have to see if I can find it.

I've seen Scarecrows. Pretty decent 80s horror with an interesting premise. Liked it too.

Ouch..

Hope you didn't pay too much for it then. :D
