Zathura

Enter yet another world of fun and mayhem in the style of Jumanji, this time in space. We follow Danny and Walter, two brothers who hate each other (nothing knew), but need to be smacked for their troubles. Anyway, they come across a board game called Zathura, and before you can say "What the fuck is Zathura?!" they're abandoned in outer space. Zathura was an ok enjoyable flick, but didn't even come close to holding a candle to the classic Jumanji. Sure, we've got the claustrophic area of space, but there's not much to work with. And, leaving the main story on danny and Walter hurt the film since they annoyed the living hell out of me. Overall, Zathura is a rental at best!

3 out of 5 stars

well we don't actually see it but it's strongly implied.



**SPOILERS AGAIN**














one moment he tells his daughter to cover her ears and to sing her favorite song or whatever out loud, he then takes an object (don't remember really what kind of object) and goes into a room with robbins. he later comes out and is alone. robbins' character isn't seen anymore. yeah, my guess, he killed him.

The Patriot

I loved this movie! I'm not going to go into details since I just wrote a 500 word movie review for History on this movie (which turned out to be 1,203 words). But I will say that I highly recommend this movie. Even if it is 3 hours long.

of course he did. and slasherman, killing the guy was much more efficient, and i personally think he did the guy a favor :p

Jurassic Park

i LOVE this movie... it is SO good. it combines Horror/sci fi, with a lot of adventure thrown in, with some comedy, with a little documentary, and they kept Muldoon (from the book) in the movie. even though i'm still very sad that he died...

this is probably one of my favorite movies of all time... just because it's amazing. my favorite part is the kitchen part with the raptors, and the 2 kids. or the part with ellie in the power house trying to restore electricity to the place, and the raptor springs it's head out of nowhere and makes u jump...:D

...... pretty cool flick. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid.

I liked that film. Good book too.

I just watched Shaun Of The Dead cause a mate of mine hadn't seen it. Good flick enjoyed it more than the first time I saw it.

Dracula Remake

alkytrio666 02-19-2006 07:31 AM

Had a little monsterfest with some pals.

- Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

- The Mummy (1932)

- Dracula (1931)

- The Invisible Man (1933)

- The Wolfman (1941)

- Frankenstein (1931)

The Invisible Man is easily my favorite monster movie out of all of Universal's classics. I think it is so underrated- everything is great. The effects, acting, plot, and flow are all superb. Dracula takes a close second, and then Frankenstein.

Then I also watched:

- A Hard Day's Night

- Key Largo (My second favorite Bogart film.)

Red eye ...wes craven....4/10

The Island
I heard a LOT of bad things about this movie but in honestly I found it entertaining. Sure the acting wasn't great, the effects were overused and over the top, the plot was predictable, and the social commentary wasn't so much subtle as it was shoved down your throat but all in all it was a fun ride. I'd say... probably 7/10 maybe a 6 because it was much too long but I'd have to watch it again to decide.

subjugator 02-19-2006 08:59 AM

the last movie I watched was Scarface.

Last "horror" was Saw, what a shitty movie. Only good thing was Danny Glover.

i disagree completely. i really love this movie, and the idea hasnt been done that much. i think you should give it another try before judging it, like you said. the acting wasn't that bad, and theres an 09' cadillac!

Date Movie

An absolutly terribal film, that spoofed films like

The Birdcage
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Bridget Jones
The Notebook
Meet The Parents
Meet The Parents II
Shallow Hal
Sweet Home Alabama
Napolean Dynamite

and a few more

all in all this movie wasnt even funny. It was extremely stupid and really immature humor. 4th graders would find this movie hilarious. Thats it. Dont waste your money.

1 out of a 100 stars...sucked ass

Yeah man, not a bad movie at all. I just think SJH screaming out obvious things was silly and over the top. The acting wasn't great and while the Caddy looked ok i love the fact that they made it look like that Chevy truck was a classic car with all the muscle car paint and stuff. That was clever.

Jaws 3

Brokeback Mountain

It was pretty slow, but a good movie in my opinion at least. Depressing.

PeaSoupintheye 02-20-2006 02:31 AM

I had a bit of a film fest over the weekend lol.

First up:


Battlefield Baseball - where Do I Start??!! What the fuck is this? It's the early hours of the morning and I pluck this movie from a shelf - it's been lying there for months so I decide to give it a go...hmmm. OK - it starts with a bit of gore, this is fine and then moves on to a ridiculous story line which I start to find amusing...what I don't realise is that because it's so bad it's ctually quite funny. Then, the singing - yes singing!! Our 'hero' every half hour it seems needs to break into song, this is not your usual pop or rock classic - no it's Japanese Cheese!!! This film has to be one of the most over the top insane pieces of film I have ever seen.

Will I watch it again? Maybe...but first I think I'd have to to make sure my drink wasn't spiked - would I reccommend - hell no. Battlefield Baseball - so bad it's err gonna make you paranoid you've been spiked, now there's a movie catch phrase!

2/10

PeaSoupintheye 02-20-2006 02:55 AM

Alexander - 6.5/10 I don't mind these 'epics' most of the time but I am still trying to find one that matched gladiator and after this I am sooo still looking. Was a good movie but not great, at almost 3 hours you have to be ready for the long haul but for me the suration was not a problem so i didn't mind this movie although it will be a while before I watch again.


Dead & Dying ( El Intermedio )

I actually quite liked this film starring Edward Furlong and the chap who playes Ed Gein in Ed Gein! The death scenes are really quite gorey and bloody which really is the only reason I liked this. The CGI was pretty poor and the storyline has been done to death but hey there were some good bloody scenes so that for me saved it - a little.

6/10


Charlie & The Choc. Factory (remake)

I really enjoyed this. Apparently Road Dahl hated the original as it was never meant to be a musical etc etc but his family reckon he'd have loved this and ifor one agree. This is a quality film. Great performance yet again by Depp.

8 /10

PeaSoupintheye 02-20-2006 02:57 AM

The last film I watched I have to admit to fallin asleep half way through for like 20 mins so missing er the point basically lol.

Android of Notre Damme (2nd in Guinea Pig Series)

Hmmm - I'm not sure about this, loadsa gore, obvious story line, I fell asleep, I woke up not much more happened - more gore and then at 50 mins end of movie. Not bad but not great either

6.5/10 as I didn't pay full attention so will give benefit of doubt.

Thorns_demon 02-20-2006 03:12 AM

Watched Pterodactyls and Flying virus, a bit more adventure or something, can't call this horror! what I call lame movies.
