Dead Alive aka. Brain Dead
 

Has anyone everseen a better zombie movie than this?
(Not including Romero's work.) I thought this was an awesome movie. And when i found out it was directed by Peter Jackson I thought it was even better!

High props for gore, But not much for overall content. Still worth watching

Yeah, Kudos to the lawnmower scene. That is my all time favorite gore scene.

Damn Dude, That's EXACTLY what I was talking about:cool:

no doubt.

I think that movie is funny (like Army of darkness). Ninja priest and giant-woman on the roof, lol.

I kick ass for the lord ! :cool:

Its cool movie, but i like scarry ones more.

A guy recommended this to me just because of the supposedly kickin' lawnmower scene. I haven't been able to find a copy other than online, which I don't have money for.

Ah well.

A funnygorygreatfuckingmovie is all I can say.... :D

Braindead
 

Braindead is a classic! I love Peter Jackson's early movies. I still have yet to see Meet the Feebles, but I've recently discovered that a friend of mine owns a copy and I might finally get to see it! I've been meaning to for a long time. Even just to say I saw it. And I adore Bad Taste.

I absolutely hated The Frighteners, with all my heart (and that's a LOT!). And I also have yet to see any of the Lord of the Rings movies. I don't know that I want to either. And I want to buy Heavenly Creatures, but I keep hoping that since Miramax owns it and they've co-released DVDs alongside Criterion... that maybe Criterion would be interested in releasing that film in a Special Edition form. Something that's actually worth the money. As it stands, the current Miramax DVD is not worth the 15 bucks at most online stores.

Is anyone here a big Lord of the Ring fan? What's so good about it?

Re: Braindead
 

Heavenly Creatures--is that about two girls in their own fantasy world plotting to kill one's mother? If that's the one you're talking about, then that's a righteous movie. Major yum. I've seen it only once, but I was in a trance entirely the whole time. The ending was so sad, I cried.

Lord of the Rings. I'm absolutely frightened of it (I've had too many bad experiences with LoTR freaks to appreciate it). Have not read the books, but the movies were very nice. The look, the feel, the epic battle scenes. It was a visual orgasm. So, any trueness to the books I cannot preach, having not read them. I can see the fans being disappointed if the movies didn't live up to their delightful little stories, being a Stephen King fan that has seen one too many a movie insult his beautiful masterpieces, but as a movie-goer alone I enjoyed them.

Peter Jackson by himself seems very frightening and odd and creepy, but hell, so am I.
