Oh, and, I mentioned this in another thread. But, Anaconda. That's a great movie, I feel. It's so watchable. Most people don't seem to "get" why the film is good. The characters are offensive stereotypes, but it knows it. It wants to be a stupid movie. Big difference between that and a movie that is stupid by accident.

Best line is when the English guy hits Jon Voight over the head with a golf club and says "Asshole in one!"

I really loved Event Horizon which loads of folk seemed to hate (how could you hate it, it ripped off every great horror film of the last 30 years)

I disliked Alien and A History of Violence which isn't a horror film obviously but was loved by all and sundry and was of course made by the maestro of maestroes in our beloved genre.

I have to own up to Armageddon as well....I think that is great mindless entertainment.

One I hate that just about everyone else I talk to loves, and I can't believe I didn't mention it before.....the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Love the original though. That may be one reason why.:p

What didn't you like about History of Violence? Just out of curiosity.

Now, I enjoyed "House of the Dead" quite a bit. I thought it was TERRIBLE, but there is something very entertaining about it.

Here's another thing too, and I think I mentioned this once before. I tried watching "House of the Dead" imagining that it was a new-milennium, digital-age remake of "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" with guns. In a warped, crap-loving way, the film was sort of a hoot. Idiot raver kids on an island with lots of running zombies, lots of guns, and Jurgen Prochnow. Come on, it's great, you love it.

It's a crap movie, but you know, I don't feel too bad for him, the same way I don't feel too bad for Barry Pepper in "Battlefield Earth"--these actors are good enough to come off well despite the material they're in. Also I think Prochnow is a good businessman, knows how to price himself affordably but still make money, so he works a lot. I think it's possible he's never even SEEN "House of the Dead"...he probably gets paid, goes home, and relaxes doing something he wants to do...
