Earnest in the Army

Did you lose a bet?

He truly is an incredibly talented guy. Just look at Rain Man.
That was brilliant.

Just watched Dickie Roberts with David Spade. Watching Webster beat the hell out of him is pretty damn entertaining.

Goodfellas. For the 20th time.

Army of Darkness

Hands down, one of the best cheesy horror films ever made. It's funny, it's fast moving & straight to the point & and it's full of sloppy splattering blood & gore that is so cheesy it can only make you smile. Although the continuity between ED & ED2 & AOD is probably some of the worst I can think of, it doesn't detract from any of them as an individual film. Bruce Campbell & Sam Raimi need to team up on another cheesy horror movie for us sometime soon.

Who's BC doing "They call me Bruce" with? Assuming that's still happening and all, I think it has HUGE potential to be great.

Haven't heard a thing about it, so I'm not sure.

Just checked imdb. It looks liek BC is directing They Call Me Bruce. He's also got a Bubba Ho-Tep sequel in the works with Don Coscarelli called Bubba Nosferatu.

So, you like the premise for They call me Bruce?
I remember seeing the "original" about the accident prone martial artist that people mistook for Bruce Lee...Funny stuff.
The new one is a completely different concept, but is seems great to me...probably be better than the supposed ED remake.

Yeah I've heard of the bubba nosferatu thing...dunno how I feel about it, BHT was all kinda of good, and I don't think it really needed a sequel (or prequel as it were), but I'll no doubt be up to take a look at it.

The Good Cop 5 / 10

scream 3

Another one of those On Demand movies just chosen at random.


Corpse Bride

It was okay for a Burton movie. Just okay.

The Woods

It was alright. Definately not up to the standards I had for Lucky. I guess he didn't technically write it, and there lies most of the problems. The direction was very well done, I found, and beautiful photgraphy. Could have been a lot better; the premise was good. Bruce wasn't as colorful as he usual is, either.

Yup.

Him and Depp are my fave actors of all times.

Species.
Could have been much worse than it was. Not great, but not terrible either.

It's a fun movie, have you seen 2 & 3 yet?

Species was okay. the second one was a waste of money.

LOL, you don't want to bother with 3 then :D

Evil Breed


this movie suprised me, a lot better than i thought it was gonna be, despite half the cast being porn stars. i enjoyed this movie, as for the acting i can't really say i watched it with the closed captions on (baby was sleeping). but i give it a solid 7/10 for a b movie.

The Frighteners

arachnid

dead above ground.

Clue

I saw this once as a kid, but didnt remember anything about it. Turned out to be alot of fun! I really enjoyed it.

Walk the Line

Loved this movie

Lake Placid

This movie is one that I have owned for ages and just not got round to seeing...boy do I wish I had plumped for it sooner. Pretty much all out comedy (I Loved the old lady who feeds the crocs) this movie pretty much was fun from start to finish. No scares, pleanty of action and alot of laughs make this a popcorn movie classic.

7.5/10

The Haunting (Remake)

Purchased from a bargain bin, I just could never get round to watching this (after seeing House on Haunted Hill remake and originals of The Haunting etc) but I decided to finally give it a go. Another popcorn movie with maybe one or two 'jumps' this movie was actually quite entertaining. Never being a fan of Katherine Zeeta Jones I won't pass comment but I did like Owen Wilson yet again in what I thought was a good performance. Some decent effects make this quite a fun movie, not as good as the originals or even The House on Haunted Hill Remake but it's still worth a watch.

7/10


Dressed To Kill

I must admit to having never watched this De Palma thriller before finding it in a bargain sale. I found this erotic thriller to be equally menacing and intense throughout. Terrific performance by Michael Caine and a superb twist ending make this a must see.

8/10


The Killer Must Kill Again

This apparently lost giallo first caught my attention when I saw what appeared to be Bez from the Happy Mondays (Manchester Indie Band from 90's) on the cover brandishing a knife. That aside (the guy in the film does have an uncanny resemblance thought to Bez) this film is a nasty little shock fest. Created by a fan of Argento (he helped make Four Flies on Grey Velvet I think amongst other Argento classics) this crazy little film I found to be a throughly entertaining addition to any Giallo collection. Not as much gore but this does not make the film any less tense and I particularly liked the killer. Worth a watch if like me you love Argento/Giallo movies.

P.S. I imported this from the States on Mondo Macabre label and it included some cracking extras; Documentary on working with Argento, Documentary on Giallo movies and behind the scenes on making this movie. Excellent!

7/10


Shallow Ground

Although finding this movie somewhat confusing ( I will put this down to watching at gone 3am) I found this little indy movie thoroughy entertaining. Superb Gore, decent acting and a good plot make this one of the better indy movies of late.

7/10


The Interpreter

Under the current climate watching some scenes in this movie were quite eery (particularly the suicide bomber on the bus scene) and frightening (espec. living in UK after the London Bus Bombings). Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman put in stirling performances once again. This movie has many twists and turns that you cannot look away or you really could miss a vital bit of information.

However I did find myself a little let down at the ending...I don't know how or why the Mugabe type dictator was arrested or even gave up ( I mean just because you try to set up your own pretend assassination etc plot - could you really arrest and convict a dictator of such supposed stature...very doubtable). Still, this doesnt take away from the film - still pretty much an enjoyable experience.

7/10


Shaun of The Dead

I fancied watching a classic and Mrs Pea Soup in the Eye had not previously seen this before so I figured...go with Shaun. She was not disappointed. No matter how many times you watch this movie there is always something you hadn't caught originally and it is just as funny as ever. A movie that should be watched on a regular basis!

10/10


Final Destination

As I recently purchased part III I decided to watch the series, starting with the original classic. I still love this movie, the death scenes particularly shocking (my fave being the bus squashing the gal). I dunno, something just very original and fresh about this film I still enjoy if after numerous sittings.

10/10

The Last House on Dead End Street

Hmmmm....what can I say about this strange little film? According to my literature regarding this movie, the original cut (orig. Titled Cuckoo Clocks from hell) had a total running time of over 3hrs!!! However this has not been seen for a number of years and what has now been released is the version cut from this which was made for Drive in Cinema goers in the 70's. L.H.O.D.E.S. runs just over the 70 mins mark and is not only extremely jumpy and makes little sense but becomes increasingly hard to follow. Now whether this is intended as the portrayal of a man descending into madness or whether it is just because basically there are nearly 2 hours of the film still missing so how could it make sense? is anyones guess. My guess is that the film just isn't really that great.

Yes, I like alot of people on here are slaves to the gore and although it comes late - very late into the movie I don't think it really saves it. I am nearly through my Guinea Pig season and if you want unadulterated GORE then go to those movies as this was very much a 'poor mans attempt' at LAst House on The Left without the story to back it up.

The DVD itself proclaims the movie to be fully uncut and it is indeed crammed with extra's which for me saved the overall package but it still does not hide what I was hoping would be a real raw classic. Maybe in subsequent viewings I will change my mind but for me this is no where near the quality of a Last House on the Left, or even Scrapbook or August Underground for that matter.

Overall it's worth a watch if, like me, you have just 'got to see' all of these legendary cult horror movies. Some of the extra's are excellent and the dirty documentary style of the film does make for uneasy viewing...

6/10

My Dead Girfriend ..
comedy/horror from Ottawa (canada) filmmaker Brett Kelly
(i believe he was a 1 time member of this forum - hasnt posted since 2004)

released on Tempe - which means low budget - but worth a peek.
pretty decent performances ...

Plot :

a guy accidentially runs over his girlfriend and attempts to bring her back from the dead with an occult book she had. Needless to say - he's successful - sort of.

One of the more fun efforts i've seen in tis budget range ..

Night Of The Creeps

The Omen remake - I've enjoyed the remakes that have been released over the last couple of years but this was fucking terrible. Bland carbon copy central.

Jungle holocaust.

Despite good directing, this film was a goreless, boring as hell sausage fest.

"Poseidon" 7.5/10

This didn't get a lot of good reviews but I thought for what it was...not a bad effort at all.Harking back to the cheesy "disaster" movies of the 70's...albeit with MUCH better special effects.Put your mind on hold, grab some popcorn and enjoy.

Those "cheesy" disaster movies of the 70s are my favorites!! Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake, Tower Inferno, etc.!! I definitely have to rent this now. Thanks newb!

Riki Oh. Im am officially (since yesterday when i first saw it) obsessed with this movie. i just run around punching and kicking my friends. "You got Riki-Oh'd bitch" I also tend to kick open doors and stuff now. (here and there Ill smash through a cement wall too) easily made in on my top 10 favorite films list.

doom

so what movie did this replace as your new all time favorite ? :cool:

Probably one of Uwe Boll's masterpieces.

Sadly, it was an okay action movie, but they reallllly screwed up the story. With theone in the movie, there could only be a finite number of monsters, and only the humanoid kind.

Even if they had decided to actually follow the Doom3 story only, there is plenty to work with for amindless action flick.

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte

Pretty damn good film, a little less effective than "What EVer Happened to Baby Jane?" (These two flicks are like sister films...)

Bette Davis is superb, as always.

my biggest beef was the complete waste of The Rock who has a pretty endearing screen presence ..
they gave him fuck all to do on this one..

sort of like Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 weeks .. waste a good talent on a part any assole could have played.

I completely agree. They also included the classic BFG and it killed a couple of walls....

i would be surprised to find out that the director ever played Doom, any of them. The name and the look of the monsters were Borrowed from the game, and that is baout all the resemblance it had.
