They're definitely fully milking it- have you seen the amount of merch that has come out for this movie? T-shirts, mockingjay pin replicas (some cheap-ish, some expensive), board games, card games, posters, cookbooks, etc.

The books are a bit different than the movie and I think in the later movies, it will become even more different from the book. They left some stuff out of the movie that I thought was pretty symbolic in the book.

Mockingjay was an awful book so I can't see how they're going to draw it out into two movies unless they completely change it. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/07/1...release-dates/

Shudder....

Is that a good shudder or a bad shudder?

The Grey

Better then i expected. The first half was a little annoying and i couldn't care less about the characters at first but as it went on, the characters became more fleshed out and the story got better.

Fantastic film.

Have you seen The Day After? Would make for a great double bill with the above.

yeah i thought it wasnt too bad either,was quite original considering it was ANOTHER evil child movie.ireland scenery looks alot like new zealand.
what do you mean places like that.you mean little pagan towns?i reckon that would be cool!

Hmmm...

Its a fantastic film and STILL depressing as hell. Found it much harder hitting than the Day After (maybe because of my location).

Another low budget Brit flick you may like which goes along the pagan route is Kill list.Give it a go,its worth a watch.

Ditto. Looking forward to check out The Day After (1983) & The War Game (1965). Thanks for the heads up. :)

Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal (2012)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...dhdc/Eddie.jpg

To some extent, it's like Frankenstein meets The Driller Killer! A beautiful dark horror comedy with a good cast, fine gore & from the beginning to the very end, there's some hilarious radio broadcasting!!

Recommended.

>>: A-

will check it out

funny how the world perceives pagans as evil people,pagans seem pretty happy and at ease with the world, more than say christians

Detention (2011)


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


Wow. What a blast. Clearly an homage film to both the horror genre as well as 80s and 90s pop culture. It's frenetic, bizarre, and utterly entertaining. Not what I expected (I expected Scream), so I was really impressed.

HIGHLY recommended.

4/5.

Also, now I think I officially have a crush on Josh Hutcherson... Who is 10 years younger than me and wouldn't even be able to meet me at a bar... legally. :o

That cover is really awesome and it sounds like a movie I'd like. I think I'll check it out this week.

HA!

Hey - Regardless of how you or I feel about him, he was quite good, I promise.

Apparently I have a thing for younger men. Who knew?

Wild Bill (2011)

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

A pretty good Britt drama with a solid cast & a fine moving story. Recommended.

>>: A-

Agreed. That was a great flick for sure... well worth your time.

went to the Drive-In last night [been awhile]

saw

The Campaign---a few lol moments..typical Will Ferrel movie

Ted---a few more lol moments...pretty funny shit

The Illusionist

Not bad but i liked The Prestige better.

Battleship

Really corny and dumb but I didn't hate it as much as 90% of people seem to (perhaps because I didn't pay to watch it).

Pretty decent. Fans of 80s slashers, William Shatner and Michael Ironside wouldn't want to miss this one.

Excellent early Craven flick. Sharon Stone looked so yummy in her younger days.

I watched Jaws again and reignited my love for Richard Dreyfuss.My middle son had never seen it before and thoroughy enjoyed it too despite being raised in an era of CGI .

"Quit playing with yourself back there Hooper!"

renegade!!

A French language psycho-thriller from Canada that's exceptionally well executed with a seemingly simple plot centers around an accidental captivity of an young film student in a residence of a righteous psychopath & fanatic chess player. I guess for it's very limited release issue or somehow, this superb gem of a psychological horror went under radar from us & most of the genre fans in past decade; cause a film with such an intense characterization, character's challenging revelation towards the end throughout keeping an interesting premise & beautifully crafted screenplay is unmissable! The cast did an excellent job, particularly the actors played the main protagonist & antagonist on the lead made the show fascinating to watch. The film comes with a good production value, not so much gore except if you count a room of bleeding wall & its floor flooded with blood! The entertainment more lies on the growing psychological tensions between & within the characters & the slowly changing course of events.

Strongly recommended to the sucker of psycho-horror/thriller, especially V, Elvis, Ferox, Angra, Fortunato, Newb & yes...Chorno (even if she eventually comes with a negative feedback, I'd like to read that:rolleyes: but I'm sure she'll love it.:D)

>>: A-

Cabin In The Woods---very clever and lots of fun

Eddie the Sleepwalking Cannibal--suppose to be a horror/comedy...I thought it was more serious of tone about an artist slowly slipping into insanity.

with a bit of humor

Thanks for the rec, S.

Sorry, haters. I liked it for what it is - a nice little entertainment package.

Oh, and do try a chicken burrito at least once.

* * *

Will definitely check that one out sometime soon roshiq sounds great.




Yeah I'm with you there. It was big dumb fun and entertaining. Cracked me up reading all the reviews picking holes at all the technical shit they got wrong people should lighten up :D

I think many people didn't get the chicken burrito analogy either. :D

Yea, thanks man. :cool:

"Some guy who kills people" 8/10

Again.

I honestly don't understand so few people have seen this little "horror" gem yet. If i'm not mistaken it's only Roshiq and I so far.

For me it's one of the best movies i've seen this year.

Hahaha

You'll get VERY disappointed if you believe that's the story. :D

It's much more about this "social loser" and his relationship with his 11 year old new found daughter, who one day shows up in the icecream shop where he works.

And it's actually more of a comedy than a horror flick.

The Human Centipede II

Just.. Gross !

Just when i thought you couldn't get any more fucked up

thanks for the rec....will keep an eye out for it

Watchmen Ultimate edition - 10/10
