The Daniel Craig movies, to me?
They're just not James Bond movies.
They are movies with a guy called James Bond in them, and in their own right they're ok films...just...not what I want.

I wonder if maybe one day there'll be something more like a fusion of the two.

About Craig films....I really love Casino Royale, though it was a great comeback for Bond in contemporary / modern era & really a fantastic addition for a change than any other usual bond flicks. Loved its gritty, less action but more serious approach in terms of an espionage thriller. But yeah...QOS not only comes with a weird title but totally a misfire as a Bond flick.
And as for your 'fusion of the two'...I thought SKYFALL kind of falls in that category. Really looking forward to see SPECTRE as soon as it hits the theater here.

Not really horror movies but I just have to mention Casino Royale and that torture scene. That is horror. No guy is taking that. I'll tell or say anything to avoid that. And remember these Eddie Murphy jokes.

A few great scenes of gore and torture and Hodder and Mosley were excellent. All this went along with a storyline of teenage shenanigans, I can't relate to any of that.

This is a few days overdue. I had a busy weekend.

The Walk (2015)

Robert Zemeckis' signature visual style and proclivity for bio-pics seemed perfect for a movie like The Walk, a film that manages to boast an interesting and entertaining story and dizzying cinematography. The Walk is based on the story of the real-life high wire artist Philippe Petit in 1974. Inspired by a circus he saw at a young age, Philippe begins planning an incredibly ambitious -- and highly illegal -- show in which he hangs a wire across the Twin Towers and walks across them. A majority of the story is dedicated to Petit gathering accomplices to help with the coup, practicing for the extreme conditions and planning how they will rig the wire. The clever writing allows you to connect with every character and understand why they're trying to attempt this impossible dream. The last 45 minutes or so is where "the walk" actually happens. The scenes of Petit and co rigging the wire are just as tense as the wire-walking scenes, which are accented by some of the best cinematography of the year. The cinematography is really the star of the movie here. The shots panning down towards the ground make the towers almost look endless, and it adds so much tension to the walking scenes. The Walk is a stylish and entertaining look at one of the biggest artistic feats of the last century, and you need to watch it in IMAX 3D.

10/10

SPY KIDS (2001). Really enjoyed this-found it funny (without being crude), exciting and well worth watching again before sending back to NETFLIX. ****

Demonic 2015

People go to a house that was the location of a mass murder 25 years previous. They're all ghost hunters except one person who's having nightmares about his mother in the house. The film goes back and forth between the lead up to entering the house, what goes on there, and the police investigation soon after.

Acting is average. Cinematography is average. Some things happening in the film seem to have been put in there to be 'scary' and 'cool' while having little relation to the story. Also stupid people doing stupid things. The police investigation was done well.

4.5/10 I can't recommend it, but its an ok film if you want something that won't unnerve you, but slightly entertain.

Curse of Chucky---streaming on Netflix

I never hated any of the Chucky movies....just some stupid fun. This one is more of the same, although I enjoyed the creepy setting.

Vodstok 10-06-2015 10:14 PM

I watched Darkness Falls. Can a movie be a shart as well? Because it was really close to that. Like I think my TV might have bits of turn on it from watching it

Little bit of guilty pleasure fun brought to me by the lifetime channel. ::big grin::

I enjoyed it. Nothing groundbreaking about it but it was eerie enough. I really got a kick out of the labyrinthine catacombs. I'd recommend it.

I'll check back and see if you've reviewed it, but what was your impression?

It might have been one of the first reviews I posted here since I saw it on opening weekend last August. I really enjoyed it. I loved the setting and plot mostly.

ImmortalSlasher 10-07-2015 10:43 AM

I believe I reviewed As Above so Below here. I thought it was one of the better reality type horror movies. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel with the main character's adventures.

Manson Family Vacation (2015)
Meh...
Very average dramedy.

Vodstok 10-07-2015 06:01 PM

Watching the '04 remake of Dawn of the Dead. It's weird to think James Gunn went on to make great movies and Snyder went on to make really pretty shitty movies

8 short stories that were ok to excellent and then the wraparound story. I really liked the one about the man with unique Halloween decorations, Halloween after the apocalypse and the FaceBook~esque Spanish short.

Cool masks but nothing new here. This movie reminds me of 'Torment'. The ending was horrible.

Green Inferno

I was anticipating intense. It wasn't. It's very watchable and we had fun with a pretty involved crowd, but it didn't pack the punch I was expecting. It's a rare film that I say would benefit from being a found footage flick, but Green Inferno is one movie that would have amped up the emotion if we could be more immersed in the drama. Anyway, I liked it. I got a few " whoa" moments out of it and some laughs as well.

Overall it's entertaining stuff!

Arg! I really do not like going to the movies by myself, but I want to see it.

Thir13en Ghosts
Tomb of the Werewolf - aka lesbian porn, Paul really should've stopped at 11 with the Waldemar Daninsky series...
Puppet Master - I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would
Puppet Master 2 - second was also enjoyable

I watched The Lords of Salem again last night. It's typical that Rob Zombies' movies polarize horror fans and this one is no exception. I think its an atmospheric, visual treat.

Freddy Vs Jason
5/10

It's better than I expected. I think it goes the right places, and hits the right bells, follows the right rules, looked pretty good and had some fun. It really follows the humor and cartoonishness of the latter Freddy/Nightmare on Elm Street films. Fans of either franchise would like this.

It lacked deeper creativity, plot depth, character development, scariness and mood.

Baron Von Marlon 10-09-2015 09:02 PM

Year One (2009)
Less worse than I expected. Not great but a couple of good jokes and a decent cast. Kind of a B/C version of History Of The World Part 1.

Matariki 2010

A film using four loosely connected stories about birth and death. Takes place in present day New Zealand, I think in Auckland? The characters are mostly of Maori descent. Matariki's a name for a constellation associated with the Maori new year.

The film is alright, fairly sad, but not in a depressing sort of way. death and rebirth and all that. The film was more like an extended pilot for a tv show than a single film. Worth a watch, just realized you might have a few tears occur while watching.
