Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-rabbit

Enemy At The Gates

The Weather Man

Is it just me or does Nicolas Cage's characters all seem the same? And why does he always narrarate in his movies? These questions are yet to be answered, but still came to my mind while I viewed The Weather Man. Nicolas Cage plays David Spritz, the town weatherman. Of course, people shit all over him just because he reads off of a prompter. But, he's gotten used to it (sort of). His ex-wife is also set to marry a guy who he hates the shit out of, tries to spend more time with his kids (especially his daughter), talks to his loving father (played greatly by one of the bests in teh business Michael Caine), and says fuck a lot. But, I feel I've seen this before. It's pretty much the same plot to most of Nicolas Cage's films (except with a different character and territory). It's not all too bad, but does effect the film. And, the director seemed to love the scenery more than the characters. He was more and less focusing the camera on the icy waters or icy targets. It does pass well for a drama, especially because of the "didn't see it coming" ending. But, it's just like Nic Cage's other films basically.

2 and a half stars out of 5

Which is better, that or Lord of War? The both look good, which should I pick up first, in your opinion, providing you've seen LoW.

I've seen Lord or War, but I liked The Weather Man slightly better. I was disappointed with LoW, which recieved 2 out of 5 stars from me (not sure if I wrote a review for it in this thread).

Another Day in Paradise,

another cheerful larry clarke film ..

James woods was great as usual.

what the hell did melanie griffith do to her lips ?

a clockwork orange

REPULSION

Goddammit I love that movie...

kentucky fried movie

DVD: Saw 2
Theater: Final Destination 3

No.

Because it's in the script.


Anyway, I just watched Good Will Hunting.

Cabinet of Dr. Caligari = Great silent horror with amazing sets.
&
Malevolence = Meh. Not bad... not great.

what did you think.? ....I guess it cant be better than number 2 ?

saw 2

I didn't have high expectations going into it, but ended up really enjoying it. The acting wasn't exactly top notch, but I'm a sucker for fun death scenes. Even though the kills weren't as good as in the first two, they were still pretty entertaining. I loved the ending, it's what really made me form a positive opinion of the film.

The Ghosts Of Edendale

I really really enjoyed this low budget Indie Flick. Had one or two jumpy scenes and an overall creepy feeling. Fairly well acted, effects ok for the budget and tons of extra's on the DVD itself to keep you entertained. I was really impressed with this one folks!

7.5/10


the French Sex Murders

This film I started to watch last night at 2am and kept falling asleep - I purchased this from the US on the Mondo Macabro?? (I think) label. From what I remember seeing I got the impression it was cut etc. Reading the stroy behind the film on the extra's and it was confirmed. Apparently though this is the most complete version and they have cut it from various versions of the film available throughout the world. I thought the gore was only average for the normal run of the mill giallo. Being an Argento fan I thought I would love this but although amusing in parts and one or two decent deaths it didn't stand up to Argento's finest efforts. Not a bad film if you want blood and a few laughs at some quite appalling acting!

5.5/10

P.S. Also worth a watch for some classic 'dubbed' lines ;

" you wanted her - you filthy Pig"

" Yer a Whore, a bloody whore... a Whoooore - a Bloody bloody Whooore"

Quite extreme eh?? heheheeh - I then fell asleep though and missed what could have been some quite amazing follow up lines of dialogue!! hehehe.

Four Brothers

What did ya think?

I really like the ideas and Stuff behind "Four Brothers". But the whole way it was presented and everything ruined the whole movie for me. I believe that if we could take back time, and have someone other than John Singleton do this movie. It could be much better.

Cry Wolf ...I guess you can call it a slasher....watchable but I like it when the body count is higher...

Awesome! For awhile there, I thought I was the only one here that heared of that one. I thought it was great, too. The ending really made it for me, and the scenes leading up to it. Im not sure what youd call it, the "flashback" party? Very cool, well done, original scene. I think I gave this one 8-8.5, something like that. Great buy for $3:p

Angel Heart - with the Alan Parker commentary on

Stepfather 2

I haven't seen the original Stepfather, since it is a rare find in my town (as is the sequel). As is this sequel. So, I was shocked as hell to see it for $5.00 down at my local and loyal (the employees, that is) BlockBuster. I snatched my copy of it and took it home with me and popped it in the ol' VHS player. And I have to say, I was impressed.
Now, this was by far not the best thing I've ever seen, nor does it even rank in must-watch for rare commodities. But, it is worth the time if you happen to stumble upon it.
If you're like me, and haven't seen the original, no need to worry. The sequel clears that up with the ending from the original in the beginning of this movie. Then, he escapes the loony bin and then forms into Gene, a family counselor. Shortly, he wins the heart of both Carol and her teenage son, and before you know it, are set to wed. Meanwhile, Gene displaces some annoying fucks (including Carol's ex-husband) and gets set for the big day- OF LOVE AND DEATH!!!
The movie had it's ups, such as the directing, acting, inventivity, and even nice scenery. But, you can't forget about the uninvited downers, which include off-screen deaths, some stupid deaths (such as a security guard getting killed by a knightstick and a random man on the road dying, I think, after getting a car trunk gets slammed on his hands), some annoying characters (which were displaced of), and a horrible climatic ending (which started out good) Overall, Stepfather 2 is worth a look, but don't go in for gore and death, and don't overhype yourself.

3 and a half stars out of 5.

Thanks Jacket for the review on Stepfather II, ive had it in my collection for a few months now but never gave it a chance. Now that I know you liked it, im sure it will be in my VHS player pretty soon.

as for my last seen movie....

The Toxic Avenger

Where do I start? I wasnt expecting a whole lot going into this movie. Mainly because its an independent movie, i never go in expecting to much. But I was slammed in the face from the very begining. This movie is really and truly non-stop fun. And no doubt one of the best independent movies I have ever seen. I loved the whole storyline to this movie. I also loved the music, the gore, and the girls. This movie was awesome! I got the "Tox Box" Which includes "The Toxic Avenger I, II, III, and the animated "Toxic Crusaders" movie. So I will put my reviews on those up when I get to watching them.

4.5 out of 5

Domino ...

the hyper kinetic style drives me a bit nuts but it was a cool story and everyone was gold in it ...

especially Mickey Rourke - of course ..

Zombie Holocaust
&
Irreversible

BTW, pick up the current issue of Giant for a pretty good Rourke interview, goes through a few of his movies and it's really well done.

Devil's Rejects



Too much sex/nudity...Not enough horror....Only one halfway decent kill scene


Kinda sucked...

I liked this one but one thing bugged me, I know Zombie borrows liberally from other horror films and that's cool I like that. Unfortuanatly I don't like ripping off scenes and that whole "slap her" scene was straight out of Last House. Anyway, I wish the body count was higher but when that woman's running around with her husband's face on... that's cool.

Yeah...THAT was the "one halfway decent kill scene"...About 15 feet of roadkill

Kill Bill volume 2

Dangerous Minds

Spaceballs

Notting Hill

funny - i thought it sucked for the opposite reason.

not enough nudity - too much violence.
it was an unpleasant film.
It wasnt a horror movie - it was the evening news.

Pulse - meh.

Kung fu Hustle - I haven't laughed that hard in a long damn time. Not to mention some of the fight scenes were just down right awesome!

Agreed on KFH.

Rottweiler, awfull movie

Newsies

so thats all the Bale films seen then ? :)

Almost, picked up Swing Kids today.


Newsies was pretty good, it's about the 1899 strike of paperboys after the distribution price was raised.. The songs weren't great but they fit the movie and Bale was his usual self. The overall acting was ok(for a musical).

Not bad for a Disney movie, my fiances fave so I've watched it TONS of times heh.
