I saw "The Brood". It was okay, but man that film was so slow moving. Or maybe it was the "R" rated version I saw? I'm not sure, that was quite a while ago.

The Demon Hunter

This movie plays out like it was scripted and directed right out of the pages of a comic book. Is that a good thing? It could be, but in this case, I would say no. Seeing as how I ended up doing my "editing on the fly," that it is to say, hitting the fastfoward button to speed things up, while not horrible, this movie is forgettable.

Well, I haven't been on for a while, so I have a lot of ground to cover....

The Toolbox Murders

Decent gore. Decent acting. Warped storyline. Overall, a pretty good slasher flick with a few surprises. It's not for everyone, but for a true slasher fan, it's a cult classic.

C+


Basket Case

A very original story with decent, but low budget gore, a slew of peculiar characters and some decent acting. All in all, this was a pretty fun movie...

B


Ultimate Avengers: The Movie

Loved it. The only disappointing thing was that it was only 70 minutes long because I wasn't ready for it to be over. Fantastic animated action flick.

B+


Blazing Saddles

Hilarious. What more do I need to say? This one is a classic and rightfully so!

A-


Cannibal Ferox

Wow, compared to Cannibal Holocaust, this film seemed really tame. None of the scenes had the amount of realness in them that CH conveyed. Instead of feeling like you were watching actual footage, in this one it felt like you were watching a cheesy cannibal movie... Nowhere near as hard hitting a film so if you are expecting something like CH, don't waste your time.

D



The Fog (original)

I found this incredibly boring and slow moving. The acting was fine, but the plot did not hold my interest whatsoever.

D



The Shining

Well, for the reputation this film enjoys, I was hoping for something a bit more exciting. I found it rather slow moving and long, but Jack Nicholson does a great job and the story was pretty cool. It wasn't as marvelous as I had hoped for, but then again, I probably had heard too many good things about it.

B



Lord of War

This was more talking and less action than I was expecting but because all of the talking and narration was being done by the world's most notorious arms smuggler, it was still interesting.

B-


Dead Man

Johnny Depp is the man. This was one strange trip of a movie from begining to end, but I found it thuroughly enjoyable nevertheless.

B+


The Cave

Eh... This was alright I guess. Nothing too memorable, but what do you expect from a PG-13 movie about a bunch of cave divers? Minimal gore, the acting was fine, the plot was average.

C-


Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo

This was stupid. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this one. Rob Schneider is NOT funny on his own. He needs a good writer to give him some good material to work with or else we end up with crap movies like this, The Animal and The Hot Chick.

D-


Dark Water

Ugh! Why do I even bother watching these remakes of Japanese horror films any more? I hated The Ring. I hated The Ring 2. I hated The Grudge. Now we can add Dark WAter to that list too. I'm not a very big fan of these films Asian counterparts either, but at least they are original. What's the sense in remaking a crappy movie?

D-



Wedding Crashers

This is pretty funny, although I wouldn't call it Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson's best by any stretch of the imagination. Will Ferrell's part is GREAT, but too bad it's only abotu 10 minutes long. All in all, this movie had a LOT of really funny parts, but also a LOT of really slow periods where it seemed to drag.

B


Whew! Okay, that ought to catch me up. In addition to those movies, I've been watching the first couple seasons of Oz (Great show!), the first season of Lost (Also great), and the first season of Deadwood (Again... Great.) not to mention the college basketball tourney on Thur-Sun.

Just got thru with Possessed. Fulci is definatley up there with my favorite directors I enjoyed this one and Im not really a big fan of the supernatural flicks. Not as gruesome as a lot of his other films but it made up for it with creepyness and a really cool bird attack sequence.

You know, Thunderdome isn't THAT bad for the first half but then it just sort of falls flat on its' face and doesn't even try to get up until the climax.
