"Fun with Dick and Jane"

More irritating than funny.

Alec Baldwin was excellent though. "Like my dad always said........................."

Darkman III: Die, Darkman, Die!

Wow, this series goes progressively downhill in a real hurry... Like a bowling ball down a steep hill. This movie is so much crappier than the original, and even the less than steller sequel, it's almost embarrassing. The story is very basic though they still managed to make a hole-filled plot around it, the acting much worse than any others in the series, the gore is nearly nonexistent and the direction and editing are poor at best. A far cry from the Raimi directed original...

Just Like Heaven

This sucked, but what else could I expect right? Boy meets girl. Boy finds out girl is actually a ghost, but falls in love with her anyways. Through magical twist of fate, boy and girl are unified. Corny, sappy, predictable.

Yikes. Rough day at the office! Next up: There's Always Vanilla and maybe something else... Something I've seen before and know doesn't suck.

The Haunted World of Edward D. Wood, Jr.

Pretty good documentary. Definatly shows a different side of the story than Tim Burton's film.

My Fav. I have seen this movie so many times I wouldn't begin to count.

"Society"

I like this horror movie very much.


Why did Billy Warlock disappear from the big screen? I thought he was a really good actor. :(

Maybe he was just too short for hollywood?

Word of warning to anyone of the younger set that may have watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail with their parents:

Do not, I repeat DO NOT watch Monty Python's Meaning of Life in the same company, expecting more of the same.

I just made this horrible, horrible mistake...couldnt even get though more than 20 minutes of the movie. It didnt seem too bad or aything, but I'll be damned if those werent twenty of the most uncomfortable minutes of my life.

For the time being it's going right back on the shelf, until I have a chance to watch it on my own.

Heh, I take it sex isnt an uncomfortable topic around your household:p

I hate watching this kind of stuff with my parents. The classroom scene, when John Cleese pulled out the bed and brings his wife into the room...that was the end for me. I have no problem with it, but my parents arent too partial

Frig I hate that too.Usually I make up excuses to leave so I won't have to watch it with them.

Roderick Usher 10-24-2006 04:35 PM

Yeah, we're rather frank and open about sex in our house. I encourage my kids to ask questions and they get answers...but we're wierd that way.:eek:

Oh dear... That brings back uncomfortable memories from my youth...

urgeok 10-24-2006 04:55 PM

there were a few rough moments with Revenge of the NErds - watching it with our kid (i forgot that there was a fair bit of language)

dont care about the kid seeing boobs and butt ... but yeah - we're not ready to explain sex to a 'just turned 6 year old' yet.

Wishmaster [1997]
It was aight. Couple cool deaths, but that's about it. Still kinda interested in seeing the sequels, though.

AmericanManiac 10-24-2006 05:18 PM

I always had to "cover my eyes" when I was little, lol. But you know when someone tells you to do something you always do the oppiste so I would always peak through, that is when I was real little. The last movie I watched though was Monster House and I was a bit suprised that I heard the word "fuck" in there.

Friday the 13th Part III

Im sure Ive said it enough times around here, but for those who might have missed it, I recently bought the boxset and am going through this series for the first time.

So far, this is probably my favourite. The plot isnt nearly as good as the first two, but the characters are better and the deaths are awesome! Really fun slasher IMO...not as serious as the first two, but thats for the best IMO.

First two were awesome, but this is alot more fun. The hallway death has got to be one of my all-time favourites, bar none.

Sick_As_Fuck 10-24-2006 06:30 PM

The 3rd one is defintiely my favorite of the series.

Angra 10-24-2006 06:37 PM

"American gothic" 1988


It was okay, even though it seemed a little outdated.

An American Haunting, pretty decent flick.

V for Vendetta.

Easily the best movie I ve seen since 2005.

There's Always Vanilla


Ugh! Romero followed up NotLD with this piece of crap? No wonder it's so seldom seen, heard of or talked about! It has to be one of the most boring films I've ever seen! It's about a free spirited 'longhair' that's trying to figure himself out. Almost like Easy Rider, minus the motorcycles, scenery and violence at the end. You're probably wondering what you'd be left with if you took those 3 elements out of Easy Rider... Let me fill you in. You'd be left with a boring movie about a hippy that can't seem to find his place in the world. Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz.... I thought it sucked. The only thing saving it from an 'F' grade is the fact that it's Romero and I just don't have the heart to fail him.

It's alright...not the best, certainly not the worst.

Get through that and 5. Then you're in for a real treat when you get to 6. It's a gem.

The Woods

Lucky McKee's first full length film since May shows a definite improvement. Although it was a little similar to Suspiria, I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was a clone. Most of the principals turn in fine performances, especially Agnes Bruckner. The ending did seem somewhat rushed, but it's forgivable. All in all, I was quite pleased with this film. Overall: 7/10.

Roderick Usher 10-25-2006 09:42 AM

Went to a grindhouse double feature last night and saw The Forest and Don't Go in the Woods - two 80s expliotation slashers.

The Forest was hilariously bad - wierd ghost childre, an on-the-nose soundtrack, a crazy cannibal, closeted gay lead actors...fucking great.

Don't Go in the Woods had better gore, but was tedious as hell.

Phalanx 10-25-2006 09:56 AM

Crank.
The storyline was so-so, but not bad...one of those movies that goes from zero to one hundred real soon after the beggining. Great soundtrack, and some interesting camerawork, and pretty funny moments of dialogue...not to mention hugely more violent than I was expecting. By all means, not a cinematic masterpeice, but a very fun film all the same.
Haven't laughed so much in a film in a long time.

Angra 10-25-2006 10:59 AM

"Scary movie 4"

Had me laughing from time to time.

Especially the Saw intro with Dr. Phil and the Tom-Cruice-makes-an-ass-out-of-himself-in-Oprah ending made me laugh out loud.

Might be the worst in the series, but I still enjoyed it.

the_real_linda 10-25-2006 11:09 AM

the only good bits of scary movie 4 in my mind were whenever the fake dakota fanning kid gets hurt or anything regina does.....she cracks me up.....twas dissapointing film otherwise .........


im watching the legend now.........jet li in drag!!!
