Bad Lieutenant

Bleak as hell but brilliant and the ending was amazing.

Saw 2. I had only ever seent his once last year at the theatrical release. I thought back then, that this was a mediocre film. After seeing the 3rd installment, and then going back and watching 2....I actually liked 2 alot better. I still wonder where the hell 4 will go...but I guess I will find out this Halloween because I will definitely be one of those in the theatres.

Gryphon

I'll set aside the fact that this was written by HDC's very own Roderick Usher and try to review it without any bias. The story was fairly engaging, the acting was pretty good for a Sci Fi original, the gore was decent too. (Sean is 2 for 2 when it comes to having decapitations in his films. Nice!) The one major problem this film had was very bad/obvious CGI in just about every scene the Gryphon creature was in. I was also not a very big fan of the actor that played the main villain. He just seemed more like a drunk uncle than an evil sorceror to me, but all in all I found this to be pretty entertaining. If it had a little better budget for better CGI & actors, it'd probably be an above average fantasy adventure flick, but since it didn't have the budget for those things, I'll give it a.....

The Lost Tomb of Jesus

This was interesting from an archaeological standpoint. I'm not neccesarily convinced that what they found was actually the tomb of Jesus, but it's a thought provoking documentary nonetheless. The main issue I had with this was that they seemed to be jumping to conclusions too much and stating their own speculations & opinions as if they were facts which is not what a docmuentary should do. And where was James Cameron? I thought he made this documentary, but evidently he must have only produced it because I didn't see him in the film at all. Anyways, it was good for making people think, but it was bad for trying to make people think along the lines of the filmmakers own biased view. Bottom line is that I didn't neccesarily feel like this project was approached objectively from the start. I would have liked to have seen an equal amount of people trying to disprove that this was the tomb of Jesus, instead of everyone involved in the project really, really wanting it to be the tomb. It seemed like they were using their own biased opinions/guesses/speculation to fill in the gaps to reach the conclusion they wanted.

The twist was predictable, but the explanation of his exact illness was excellent and very creative. Loved it, and will definitely be looking forward to more Hitchcock.

Evil Dead 2 & 3 tonight, Vertigo tomorrow.

Check out Psycho 2. IMO, it's one of the most under-rated sequels of all-time. I loved it.

That was on AMC a couple nights ago. I didnt watch very much, but what I saw was pretty cool. I always sort of dismissed it, but now I might have to give it a spin...

I highly recommend it, but I also know a few people that HATED it. I suggest checking out and deciding for yourself though. :)

The Dead Next Door

Pretty good low budget zombie flick with some fun and some really cheesy moments. Some things were a little much, like the last names (Raimi, Savini, Carpenter, Romero) of some of the characters but I'd suggest it to a zombie fan who likes low budget stuff.
