Zombies vs Strippers

Full Moon's best film in quite some time. Pretty bad as expected but a good time and it's good to see the studio branching out from kill toy flicks for a change.

The Raven

Enjoyed this one a lot... really entertaining stuff. People seem to be mixed on this one but it gets a thumbs up from me. I'm not an uber Poe fan so I could see a few things annoying those who are.

House of the Flesh Mannequins

Pretentious shit with a few lukewarm "extreme" scenes.

what do you mean by that

That I'm not up on any of the history/story of his life/what he was like as a person to make a judgement on how good a job Cusack did at getting the character down.

They should have try a sequel where Mikey meets Chucky:D

I like this movie though I could see why others might not, given how slow-moving it is. Still need to read the book.

Think - Dog Soldiers on a budget, with a whole 80s vibe. You will definitely like this one.

I am glad, S.

It's on Netflix Instant, I'll be watching it tonight. Thanks, V!

is this the one where the dude skydives out of the plane with all the money and his "partners in crime" follow?

if so...yeah... a pretty good movie with some great atmosphere......though it kind of fell apart towards the end....if memory serves me correctly.

perhaps another watch is in order

"The Dark Knight Rises" (2012)
-Christian Bale

Plot: IMDB
Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.

Phantom's Review: I've been a Batman fan/collector for about 45 years now. I've seen the character go through many, many changes in those years. Funny live action series, badly animated Saturday morning cartoons, Epic size Gothic motion pictures, brilliant animated series and several things in between, but in my opinion I don't think I've ever seen anything as awesome as "The Dark Knight Trilogy" and the final film in the series, "The Dark Knight rises" is absolutely brilliant.
Great acting, excellent action scenes, great FX and above all a wonderfully written script. I liked how this film brings all three films together and takes it to a entertaining conclusion. And Anne Hathaway looks damn good in that Catwoman outfit.
A great film.

Just finished watching it. Decent flick. Definitely B-grade. Wasn't crazy about the end.

Star Wars- Yeah....this was my first time ever seeing it.

The Divide
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/..._V1_SY317_.jpg

I liked it but it was really over the top, especially Josh and Bobby's ridiculous behavior. I enjoyed that it became more about the cabin fever then the apocalypse going on outside but honestly in reality i don't think things would get that insane.

A few more thoughts...

SPOILERS
I didn't like that Eva sacrificed Mickey to get away. Sam i understand, he was a coward and an idiot. But Mickey's worst crime was holding out food on them and considering they were all a bunch of lunatics i understand that. Mickey trusted Eva telling her where the gun was and even how to get out. Sure he could've been doing that for his own safety but still he wasnt a bad guy. He was a sad tortured man who lost his wife and daughter in 9-11 (I'm speculating since it wasn't outright said) and there was no real need to let him die. I get that her trust was pretty well shot by that point but Mickey was the only one i liked.

That final shot was really harrowing. She gets through all that only to discover that the world is gone and there's nowhere to go.

Good review, agree with you.

The Last Broadcast (1998) Found the first half of this mockumentary to be almost unwatchable due to the pathetic performances of the "non actors". But what kept me watching was this underrcurrent of dread and the surreal side of technology.
It is extremely effective at slowly building up the mystery and kept me guessing right up to the end. The atmosphere created and the suspense is the kind that truly absorbs the viewer without them feeling manipulated or scratching their heads after it finishes (it makes sense and quite shocking at how possible it is).
It is thought provoking in a way that gets the viewer thinking of larger questions that stay with you after you've seen the end. Overall its rare that a film can be genuinely original (this came out before The Blair Witch Project which unfortunately stole its thunder) and surprising in how brave it is for broadening the mind of the viewer and taking you to such a dark place. Despite a pretty lame start it is definitely worth sticking with. Highly recommended. Essential viewing.

***** WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOLLOW *****



Yes, it starts off with a double cross after a heist, which is a pretty interesting premise.

I agree with both of you - the ending was a bit of an eye-roller (honestly, a grenade exploding inside a plane and the plane wasn't blown to bits?, and that last transmission which said about the plane being flown all the way back to the base with the pilot in a "dazed" state?) but overall it was a pretty decent film. Much better than the contemporaries around that time (heck even better than most of the ones we have these days).

I like the way how they leave only hints about the farmer and his two sons (?) and what could possibly be the secret behind the scarecrows. And that whole sequence of the robbers getting offed and coming back, behaving perfectly normally. Specially the one at the end. Good stuff.

Promising film. They could have polished off the edges and gave it a better ending (the plane exploding and the debris falling near the fields, giving rise to more scarecrows, a chilling end) and it could have been a gem of a film. As it is, it's pretty good by itself IMO.

Excellent. The cinematography at times is distinctly Hammer-esque, though it was made by the Cannon guys.

Really loved this one, specially the nostalgic 80s background score (so reminiscent of The Wraith, Street Hawk, etc.). Going to be one of my guilty pleasures (specially because of that superb Elisabeth Shue bathroom scene...mmmmm...)

I need to see LINK asap. It's always great to realize there's still plenty of great films left to watch.:)

Casino Royale

I'm not a big Bond fan so it took me awhile to see this but everyone kept saying how good it was and i have to agree.

I enjoyed that one. I thought it succeeded where Doomsday failed IMO.

Ilsa The Wicked Warden

Not as camp and OTT as the first two films but still great stuff.

Netflix streaming

tour de force for Woody Harrelson....but the plot was just meh.

still worth a watch

My last seen movie
 

Santan's little helper made in 2004 not very scary to put it bluntly this movie sucked thumbs down for this movie don't bother watching it

It's not meant to be scary; it's a horror comedy.

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

Pretty good indie effort considering the low budget. The high point is the use of live characters with makeup as ghosts instead of some cheap gimmicky CGI.

Personally, I liked it and would toss it a rec. Thanks again, Angra.

Witchfinder General

Well it's not very funny either. I'd rather punch myself in the nuts then watch that crap again.

The Woods (2006) Reasonable supernatural horror that stars Bruce Campbell in a minor role (better than just a cameo at least). There's nothing really original going on but it is reliably atmospheric and mysterious. The plot is derivative of other films and the CGI woods are at first very wooden and not even remotely creepy. Things do improve though markedly towards the end and the characterization is ok but not thorough, I would have liked to have seen more of the motives of the characters explained. A safe watch.

Yeah, I found that movie just to be OK, probably because I loved McGee's May so much - Have you seen it? Highly recommend.

...

*SIGH* - Catching up on this thread is giving me a LOT of movies that I want to watch... But Netflix doesn't have the collection of indie horror that it used to. You're making me jealous. :(

Angra, V, Roshiq - How do you check out the movies that you do? Download? Bittorrent?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...gon_tattoo.jpg


Probably would have liked this more if I hadn't seen the 2009 Swedish version first, which I thought was very good. That being said, I thought that Rooney Mara was a GREAT Lisbeth (who I totally want to DO right now), though I thought Daniel Craig to be a little stiff.

I don't know - Maybe the movie tried to cover too much but I felt as though it was missing something - Can't really put my finger on it (could just be that I liked the 2009 version so much that I felt as though watching this was just "going through the motions" and waiting for plot points to unveil themselves). And, is it me, or did they not explain the significance of the dried flowers at the end? They are, after all, what kicks off the movie... The explanation in the 2009 version was great I thought.

Anyhoo - I thought it just OK, but probably because it was overshadowed by the other version. Probably going to watch the other movies in the series right now. :D

I'll let Newb comment on that one. ;)

As for the movie, what you said seems to be what i'm hearing everyone else say. It's not making me want to watch the movie very much which is fine because i saw the original and loved it.

Agreed. I wanted to kill the little boy throughout the entire thing.

Oh me too. What an annoying little shit

monster brawl

was alright.was the silly kinda movie i expected.
thought they could have made some of the monsters better,especially vampire lady,should have been a more original looking dracula.and they could have had more monster fights and with a bit more gore to them

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...nthfloorbd.jpg

Always love this kinda simulated reality-mind fuck stories. Overall, a beautiful film indeed with a simple but effective plot, loosely based on Daniel F. Galouye's Simulacron-3 (1964). Inception fans should check this out if you still haven't seen it yet.

>>: A-

You should watch "eXistenZ" too if you like films along these lines.
Personally I thought the 13th floor was more enjoyable to watch than Inception, any day.

See this a bunch of times since I first caught it for its cinema dsebut. Great Crime movie with a fantastice cast (Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone, Philip Davis).

Oh yes I adore that film I have it on dvd great cringe inducing psychological horror, I just love its tangible awkwardness and how out there the lead character is great stuff :) Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't seen it and wants to watch something completely different

Cheebacheeba I'm with you on Existenz brilliant film one of Cronenberg's more underrated films-I wanted to kill Jude Law though he nearly ruined it with with his ham performance but then I always want to kill Jude Law so that's not surprising

Seem eXistenZ years ago once, need to check it out again as I can hardly recall anything about it now. :o
