Red,white and Blue.It was a slow burner but I really enjoyed the music ,the story and the style in which it was filmed.Gritty..I would deffo recommend.
Oh,and I saw Charlies Dad from Charlie and the chocolate factory in a different light I tell thee!

The Woman (2011) I haven't read Jack Ketchum's book but I personally prefer to see a movie before I read the book and so tried to take this Lucky McKee directed film on it's own moments. It gets points for not going where the viewer expects it to. But I was a little bit disappointed with how rushed I felt it was. There was attempts made at characterization but the motivations of the characters wasn't developed fully enough for me-it felt like parts of it had been edited out so it didn't make enough logical sense to make the big reveals at the end to be believable enough or to have the true hard-hitting impact that was intended. A Very good try but not something I would watch again

Lovely Molly (2012)

The actress on the lead did a great job in her 'mentally tormented' role and the film delivers some creepy & interesting 'haunted house' set pieces with the help of some fine works in the sound department. As being one of the directors of 'infamous' Blair Witch Project, I guess Mr. Sanchez couldn't resist himself from using some POV shots here as they allow Molly to have a video camera in the story. Anyway, as a seemingly psychological horror with some supernatural overtone, this isn't a bad film overall but the plot suffers for some unanswered questions about Molly's past & an ending that was too smart but kinda unsatisfactory, IMO.

You call that an average family?

You're probably russian but how crazy are you really? :D

Looking forward to Lovely Molly...

Julia's Eyes (2010)

I think that this movie had a lot of potential - Good direction, great acting... And a pretty good concept. Plus, preying on a blind person is pretty nail-biting.

My issue though is that the end was pretty predictable and seriously went on FOREVER. Ugh. All in all, disappointed.

2/5.

thats where you fucked up,ya gotta read the book first,everyone knows that the books allways better than the film...so whats the point of ruining a good book by watching the shitty movie version first

I must say I really liked the film but I have not read the book. It was a far superior movie that the poor adaptation of one of the prequel books in the series - Offspring. Kinda shitty they didn't start with Off Season, I think there was problems with the rights to the story.


Loved that movie - I am a big Noah Taylor fan. Very different role for him.

Ive just watched 'Dont look now 'again and it has reaffirmed my hatred of red raincoats and people of restricted growth.

See, V....there's something about Chrono :rolleyes:


[:D:D]

The Grey


not bad man vs nature...or more like man vs wolves

ending kind of pissed me off

I hated that film.The ending was appalling!It could have been so much better.Liam Neeson does do despair rather well though,ill give him that

Yea, she don't like movies anymore.

he most likely had a lot to draw from after the loss of his wife Natasha Richardson in a skiing accident in 2009.

Youre probably right.You could see anguish behind his eyes.

The Descent... Meh

Right - Man, that veritable good taste of hers is so damn astute!!! :-D

heeyyyyyyyy - I liked We Need to Talk about Kevin. :p

And let's not forget Grave Encounters. *ahem*


@Newb - LOL - OMIGOD! IS THAT HAIRGEL?!

Tiny Furniture (2010)

I like Lena Dunham and really liked her HBO show Girls (looking forward to a Season 2!), so it was interesting to see how she got her start. Also interesting to see a few Girls actors appear in this, particularly enjoyed Jemima Kirke as the lovely Charlotte.

Dunno, though - I thought that the movie format was a bit too long for her muted discontent. Not a bad film per se, but it got tired after a while and I ultimately just felt melancholic in the end, which I suppose was the intent, but at least Girls has a sense of humor.

Not bad, but wasn't really the best film to watch when you're already feeling disgruntled and discontented. ;-)

Watched this last night - I skipped your review so as not to spoil it but since u gave it a B - I sai why not.

It took a little getting used to but after 15 mins I was hooked. Enjoyed the hell out of it despite it being all over the place. Reminded me of a horror version of Scott Pilgrim meets The Breakfast club.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

I watched Rec 2 with my son .I still enjoyed it ,I love the way its filmed -adding to its edgy feel.Ending was a bit poo still though !

Psycho, such a classic :p

Typical Troma movie....gore..bad overacting....boobs

Insidious. I quite liked it!

Tonight (After a bit of my Angel rewatch) I'm putting on Valentine. I haven't seen it for years and it's a good movie :)

You're welcome, buddy:D I guess I wasn't ready for its all over the place kind of take as I expected a simple fun slasher. But I agree, it's still a fun watch indeed for what it delivered or intended to be as a whole film.

The Toxic Avenger Franchise

First time viewing in a row! Downloaded all the films as a pack of 4.18 GB few months back. The pack also include some fun short videos & songs. Hilarious stuff. Liked the first 2 films mostly.

Devils bridge ,im off to Wales next week !yoikes

go toxie hes the fuckin man.fuck,cant even remember toxic crusaders..is it at as good as i rememer it being at ten years old?

yeah i used to love watching troma movies pissed.and now that i dont drink i find it hard to watch them coz they make me want to drink

V/H/S (2012)

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

The first anthology film to the sub-genre of Found footage horror & it consists 5 stories...Amateur Night, Second Honeymoon, Tuesday the 17th, The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger & 10/31/98.

Not great but as a first time initiative, it was a decent effort overall. The frame story (Tape 56) needed to be a better one. Expected a better ending at least.

Amateur Night was an okay, fun watch; thought Ti West would do something good with Second Honeymoon but disappointed. As a short slasher film Tuesday the 17th wasn't bad but the killer's "issue" in appearing in front of video camera may annoy some viewers. I really wanted to like the 4th segment The Sick Thing.... but didn't get the ending at all, what "they" were actually up to? The last one, 10/31/98 delivers the best one, IMO...an interesting-creepy-fun viewing where 4 friends headed out to a Halloween party at a stranger's house but soon find out that's just the 'rightfully' wrong place to be in...!!

>>: B

Warning: haters of extreme shaky cam videos should avoid it straightaway :D

I strongly disagree. Valentine sucked.

I loved it. My mates and I watched it as part of a teen horror fest years ago. A lot of us are from the Buffy / Angel crowd and it was awesome to see David Boreanaz as the bad guy again (We all clicked pretty quickly that it was him.) It was some laugh.

I never did get around to watching it last night though!

I really liked Valentine it was a good homage to the old school slashers without being annoyingly self referential like Scream or a dumbass teenager orientated flick like I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Idi i smotri aka Come and See (1985)

This Russian WWII masterpiece caught my attention when I saw the title on Time Out's recent list of 100 Best Horror Films. I don't like to argue on whether it's actually entitled to tag as a horror film for its magnificent & artistic portrayal of horror of WWII; cause it delivers far more than that.
Go & see it...if you still haven't. It truly deserves its place to any all time greatest list than in a compilation for a particular genre .

>>: A

I've watched the first three Wishmaster films for the first time over the last few days.

The first two weren't terrible but the third was just...bad. I think it's the actor who plays The Djinn being changed that did it. The guy in the third just isn't menacing at all except for the fact that you know he has powers.

Anywho, I've decided I may wish I had those 90 minutes back one day so I'm not going to bother with the fourth - I just can't bring myself to watch it. So, I'm going to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacare 2 instead. I've heard it's more deliberately funny like the Evil Dead 2.

Oh i love Buffy and Angel but that wasn't enough for me to enjoy that movie.

I enjoyed that movie very much. Especially liked the last song.

You're all gonna diiiiiie. :D

I should have explained-I want to watch the movie first because nine times out of ten (for me) the movie is worse than the book. If I read the book first I will never like the movie because a movie can never be as in depth or have as much scope and detail as a book. I'd rather give the movie a chance without comparing it to the book. Then when I do read the book I enjoy all the extra information and further explanations much more than I would have done had I read the book first.

The Calling (2000) This fast paced horror mystery thriller set on the Isle Of Man is nothing original but it has the balls to go into much darker and daring territory than more mainstream films of a similar bent (involving satanists and the antichrist) would be prepared to. The lead character is extremely annoying but a supporting role from the always a pleasure to watch, Alice Krige keeps you glued to your seat. More violent and dark hearted than gory but that is fine in this context plus there are some genuinely harrowing scenes involving the antichrist kid. Definitely recommended.

Play Misty For Me

stage 5 clinger! not many things scarier than that.

Watching "John Rabe" right now.

started watchin Long island serial killer doco but got bored,have to be in the mood for those.and i like to see the sicko in the end ,but i knew that wasnt guna happen
