Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

As far as not having played FFVII, yeah, a good stand alone movie it is not. I think that's the majority of the magic of it is seeing the characters you grew to love out of a groundbreaking game again in a new story.

I played about 5 minutes of FFVII, and I just couldn't stomach the graphics. I saw the "Spirits Within" FF movie, but I didn't think it was all that spectacular. Good animation, but that was about it.

Alright, I finally got around to seeing this. I must say, the people here and everywhere else over-hyped this a little. It was a great movie, yes, but it was nothing compared to Night Of The Living Dead in my opinion.

10/10

Yes, I'm giving this a 10 out of 10, but it still wasn't better than several other movies I've seen.

They're both spectacular. Night was obviously the origin of the zombie genre as we know it, but Dawn had a lot more gore. I love them both for similar & different reasons. (If that makes any sense.)

P.S. I can't believe you haven't seen it before! How about Day?

Nope, I haven't seen it either. I don't even own it yet. That's my next trip to the store. ;)

Also, is Day 2 any good?

The Evil Dead

Again, another first time watching a movie. This one was OKAY in my opinion. I'll admit, it wasn't my favorite. But it was good. Worth a watch for any horror fan. I think my past couple of days have just seen too many Zombie films. Time for a little switch.

7/10

Pennywise: Home Movies

I love, love, LOVE Pennywise. Along with Bad Religion & NOFX, they are one of my all-time favorite bands. That being said, this video was a MAJOR disappointment. First off, Netflix had it marked as 60 minutes when in fact it was only 35. Secondly, there was only 5 live songs shown on the whole thing & the sound quality was terrible on them. The rest of the video just consisted of clips from the tourbus or hotel rooms, but nothing real substantial. When this arrived in the mail, I was totally fired up to watch it and now that I did, I'm severely disappointed.

Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices

I've always hated Wal-Mart for the way they conduct their business (moving in to small towns and utterly crushing the local competition right out of business with their sweatshop low prices) so I really didn't need to watch this to figure out any new reasons to hate Wal-Mart, but this is an EXCELLENT documentary! EXCELLENT. If you're a Wal-Mart shopper, watch this & you won't be. This film basically covers everything.... From how Wal-Mart deliberately runs small stores out of business, to how their corporate management openly discriminates against women and minorities, to how they pollute without regard while claiming to be environmentally conscious, to how they operate their sweatshops in Bangladesh & China (and fire American employees they send to the sweatshops to report on conditions when they report something that Wal-Mart doesn't like), to how they vehemently refuse any possibility of a worker's union, to how they claim to take care of their employees while paying them less than a livable income and terrible helath coverage (Wal-Mart actually TELLS their employees to use state sponsored health programs, WIC & welfare instead of just offering better benefits to them.), to how the Walton family (owners) donated a whopping less than 1% of their combined wealth (of over 100 billion dollars) to charity (By comparison, Bill Gates donated 58% of his wealth to charity) to how they train their store managers to actually go into the computer systems and delete worker's over time or shuffle it ahead to the next week.

I fancy myself pretty well informed on Wal-Mart's dirty deeds but I still learned a lot from this documentary and I highly suggest that you do too. See this before you set foot in to a Wal-Mart (or Sams Club. Same ownership.)

In all, this is probably one of the best documentary's I've ever seen & I wish there was a way that I could make every single person in this country watch it.

Anyone else seen this Wal-Mart documentary?

Fuck no Day 2 isn't any good! The fact that it's even called Day of the Dead 2 is a gigantic slap in the face to Mr. Romero. Day 2 is like some godawful Sci-Fi channel quality film that somehow managed to get the rights to use that name. Romero should drag whoever directed that piece of shit right out into the streets and beat them.



Also, I think you would like Evil Dead 2, more than Evil Dead. It's far more entertaining on the whole.

Haha, then I will hold off on watching that one for awhile. Should I see Land and the remakes of the others? I have the remake of Dawn, just haven't watched it.

That is one film I am having a hard time getting my hands on. The stores around here don't carry it and it got stolen from my blockbuster a week before I was going to rent it. I could order online, but I have no credit card and my parents don't like buying online. So I'm going to have to wait awhile on that one I suppose.:(

Day of the Dead is a great movie. I'm sure you remember when Land came out a lot of people here hated it. I liked it quite a bit, but just be aware that the majority are against me here.

As far as the remake of Dawn goes, it's one of the better remakes ever made IMHO. It's right up there with The Thing, The Blob, The Ring & The Fly. Plus, it's got a swinging lounge version of Disturbeds 'The Sickness' which I dug. I can't speak for the 90's remake of Night, as that's one of the few on the HDC Top 100 I have yet to see. I don't think watching the remakes before you watch Day & Land is a big deal, though. I'm ashamed to admit that I still haven't watched the original Dawn since I saw the remake, and I really want to compare & contrast. All good viewing though.

BTW, I haven't seen DotD 2: Contagium yet but I've heard lots of horror fans say it's the worst movie ever made:eek:

My next trip to the store is going to be picking up Day and Land. I'll probably watch the series through, then go back and watch the remakes.

Haha, I may just be avoiding DOTD2. :eek:
