lol Okay, makes sense. Yeah, Fulci wasn't much for tension and great dialog, but he sure more than made up for that with cool, nasty gore scenes. :)
Maybe I might just wait for that to go to video. :)
I dunno.... seems to me that "Hollywood touch" has ruined some otherwise promising movies that could've been good but ended up being complete garbage.

Zombi 2 - As stated above Fulci's homage of sorts to Romero's Dawn of the Dead (Zombi for the Euros). Anyway, not as good of a movie but hey you've got a zombie fighting a shark and a cool eye gouge scene.

Land of the Dead unrated - Liked the movie in the theatre and enjoyed it at home.

Amazon Women From the Moon - Weird comedy sketch/50s sci-fi fake... interesting and funny I think I'll pick it up.

Forgot to add From Dusk Till' Dawn, that's getting toward the end now. Always a great watch, I need the set...

Mr John Carpenter's

They Live

Starring

The imfamous "Rowdy" Roddy Piper

kick ass fuckin' flick dudes and dudettes

Best, fight scene, ever.

I fell a sleep during "Star Wars 3" last night.....looks better than 1 and 2....
Gonna see "Phantasm" for the first time tonight....its seems like a either love or hate movie among horror fans....

Totally dude. It's fuckin' epic! :D Definatley one of my favorites too ...... apart from great brawls in The Warriors.

They Live fight scene is definitely up there!
It's utterly raw and the entire time that it's
happening, you can't help but root for
both of them...if you haven't listened to
the commentary of this movie with Roddy
Piper and John Carpenter, do so!

Funnily on the same note, it's begun to
dawn on me why John Carpenter stressed
so many times, "it's not my movie...the
director has his own ideas". I refer, of
course, to the remake of The Fog.

After sitting through the film last night, I
understand why.

The Ring Two unrated.

Candyman. Is that a classic? I dont know but it was a great film!

"Unrated".... :( I wish that actually meant something today other than a cheesy marketing ploy. And the levels of gore of new films today aren't even as heavy as "The Thing" with an "R" rating in 1981.

If it's not, it should be. I'm lookin foward to Tony Todd's new flick too.

I watched Night of the Comet and the Dead Next Door over the weekend...

my best fiend

Snowbeast

No, it definately isn't.

Hey, NIGHT OF THE COMET! Classic 80's flick!

That was fun in the theatres. Fairly unnerving and scary too!

Just saw the remake of "Psycho". In two words.... weak sauce.

Kingdom of Heaven.

Mystery Science Theatre 3000: Manos, The Hands of Fate

Oh boy, where do I start.... I guess I'll start off by reviewing the film itself. Manos, Hands of fate is THE LOWEST RATED MOVIE EVER on imdb.com and justifyably so. It sucked!!! Terrible acting, terrible plot, terrible everything. On it's own merit, I'd give Manos an F. (Which is the lowest grade I've ever given anything I reviewed on here. Even House of the Dead got a D- I think. (I could be wrong. That one may have gotten an F too.)

Okay, now to the upside... I didn't have to watch Manos on it's own merit. I had Joel, Crow and the other robot (forgot his name) throwing in their witty comments to amuse me. If anyone's ever seen MST3K, they watch really bad, really low budget sci-fi films and rip on them the whole time. It's pretty funny in general but being that the movie was SO bad this time, this has to be one of their best epsiodes. With the MST3K crew's commentary, I'd give it a B-.

Next up: Haute Tension, The Changeling, and Ichi the Killer

"The Changling" wasn't bad. It was kinda slow at times, but it did have an overall creepy atmosphere. "Psycho" did have good acting, and the plotline was okay, but it had almost a scene-for-scene remake. Okay for a film in general, but as for a scary movie, it fell flat. The kill scenes looked as if it could be for a modern made-for-TV film. Not too bad, but I wasn't very impressed with it.

Meet the fockers: Funny, decent follow-up, but IMO, not near as funny as Meet the Parents was.

The Terminal: Very good...interesting to think that things like this (albeit not to the extent) happen all the time...good story, good performances all around. Quite funny, yet also pretty sad in parts...very watchable, good film.

Worse than scene for scene. It was actually shot for shot. Talk about unoriginal.... They didn't have to do 1 thing that hadn't already been done for that movie. To this day, I refuse to watch the Psycho remake.

I agree completely. Good sequel, but not as good as the first one.

Ugh! I disagree completely. I thought this was one of the dullest, slowest moving, least funny Tom Hanks movies I've ever seen in my life. Hated it!

Well, it was a movie abuot a guy stuck in an airport...I dunno what you'd expect. Yeah, it wasn't laugh out loud funny, in fact, I thought it was more sad than funny, but still found it watchable all the same...guess it's just a difference in taste.


I just got done watching Catwoman...People abuse the hell out of this movie...I won't. I mean, it wasn't great. The storyline was water-thin, the dialogue cheesy. However, I thought the fight scenes were quite well done, the CG was clearly evident, but didn't wreck certain scenes (as it did in blade 2...the doll fighting...haha), intruducing a new character as catwoman wasn't all that bad - I can't tell you HOW MANY comics have done the same. All in all, I enjoyed it more than the hulk.

El Bola 10 / 10

El_Bola

"Star Wars 3"...better than 1 and 2.....but not great....number 5 is still my favorite Star Wars movie

Same here, slasherman. I just watched Cube. Very, very tense film with some horrific death scenes. Not really a horror movie, but it's close. I understand there were some sequels made too, so I'll be checking those out as well.

"Shot for Shot", eh. Oh well, I haven't seen the original version in so long that.... :) Don't worry about not seeing it. There's nothing special about it. At least I saw that on Comcast's On Demand and it cost nothing. ;)
I didn't care for Cube too much. Cube would've been better if they had more paper characters in there solely for brutal death scenes, but the movie in general was dragged out too long. Cube would've been better as perhaps a "Tales From The Crypt" episode.

"The Prowler" ...a slasher from the early 80's...as a slasher its ok..better than "Prom Night"

That's not exactly saying much. The Hulk was terrible!







Well, Thursday was the first time Netflix has let me down. I got an email saying Haute Tension would be arriving Thursday and it didn't show up. :mad: So I ended up watching Bubba Ho-Tep again instead. I already reviewed it in this thread so I won't give it a full run down again, but it's enjoyable. Bruce Cambpell is great as usual and some of the plot is just so off the wall that you can't help but laugh out loud. Good flick. B

Adding dark humor to a horror film is Bruce Campbell's forte. Not so much in "Evil Dead", but a tad in "Evil Dead 2" and a whole lot in "Army Of Darkness".

Finished half of "Inferno" yesterday..looks better than "Suspiria" worse than "Tenebrae"....

..and tonight finishing "Inferno" and watching "Phantasm" for the first time

Actually, I think Evil Dead 2 is funnier than Army of Darkness.

Evil Dead 2 is one of the gretest showcases of physical humor ever created, methinks.

I saw again Angel's heart...I realy dont know if thats the original name ( on Spain El corazon del angel) Its starring by Mick Rourk and Robert de Niro.....awesome. To nite maybe Tenebre from Dario Argento (presto)

Hallowen
dawn of the dead
Suspiria
Red death's mask (Roger Corman and starraing Vincent Price)
.....I cant found Tenebre but I buy Phenomena

Dude, "Suspiria" had like one of the most vicious "hackings" I've ever withnessed on film. Good movie. Haven't had the chance to rent "Inferno". Haven't seen it on the shelves. Phantasm is quite a good horror film. Any news on Argento making the third installment. I've read the movies are supposed to be made into a trilogy based on greek mythology of the three blind witches.

Below (2002) 8 / 10
Tom Sawyer (Animated - MGM 2000) 9 / 10

Ichi The killer

Wow. I finally saw this film after hearing so much about it and all I can say is wow. What a fucked up movie! Lots of gore, fuckin' crazy plot, psychotic characters and pretty cool fight scenes make this one pretty bad ass film! I liked it a lot and would recommend it to any with a good stomach for Asian gore, but even still, there are a few scenes that might make you cringe. B+

Itchi the Killer (5/5)
Picked up the DVD (unrated of course) and gave it a spin. This movie totally kicks ass.

The World is Not Enough (5/5)
Nothing better in this world then James Bond.

Ghosts are on call for tonight:


The Fog (the original of course. I haven't seen the remake)

Ghostbusters
Legend Of Hell House

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

I totally forgot that Dave Chappelle was in this so that was an added bonus. Anyways, I like this one quite a bit, but it's not anywhere close to being one of Mel Brooks best. Nice little satire on the Robin Hood story though... B-
