I still like it as much now as when i 1st saw it. the critics hated it though.
I'm pretty inclined to go with "fuck the critics" on this one...IMO, even though it was a little before my own time (made when I was 5, I believe), it's one of the better scifi films, ever. Solid storyline (for anyone who likes things like Equilibrium, they'd probably like this), great ending, AMAZING soundtrack, interesting concept visuals, (now) very cool retro vibe, Jenny Agutter nude, and the first use of laser holography as I understand it.
Places are practically giving it away now...sad...I can personally find very little wrong with Logans Run.

One of my all-time favorite films. I tend to reference or quote it in most of my screenplays.

Why?

What was wrong with it?

I just had a hard time watching it. Either I'm changing and can't handle seeing torture, and gore in movies anymore like I used to, or this movie REALLY crossed a line. It's the first time I actually had to turn my head while watching a movie, and I actually started to feel a little sick to my stomach.

Anyways, last seen was Big Fish a few nights ago (for the 100th time), and now it's on TV...so of couse I'm watching it again.

hmm, that quote is a bit messed up...

Yeah, I was just a kid and it really did something to me - that one, Star Wars and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger were the movie theater experiences that forever changed me.

back on topic -

An American Haunting...turd

JP500 11-08-2006 06:27 PM

A Nightmare on Elm Street part 4.

crabapple 11-08-2006 07:19 PM

Wow...a reference to Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger! The film that very few people love. But if you saw it at the right time, it was such a perfect fantasy candy bar.

Assault of the vicious insectoid Zomboid Ghouls! Giant honeybee threatens with its stinging barbed posterior! Golden Minotaur impales unlucky sailors! Taryn Power and Jane Seymour being menaced by troglodyte while swimming naked! Rated G for Ghoulicious!

Slither,pretty good movie.8.5/10

I'm surprised we haven't yet crossed paths in the small town that is Hollywood!

Wow, I was surprised at how much I liked this. Fast paced, fresh directing style, lots of gore and a good amount of humor as well. Think of it sorta like a Tremors meets Jeepers Creepers with gallons more blood than either. Apparently this is a product of Project Greenlight. If that's the case, then that program has my full support to keep doing what they are doing because this movie was like a breath of fresh air into a fairly stale genre.

B+

Yeah - it's fashion horror to the nth degree

beautiful, soulless characters meeting brilliantly staged deaths

i should watch it next ... i bought the regular anchor bay dvd and before seeing it - bought the limited edition anchor bay release.

i'm a big fan of Deep Red though..

love David Hemmings in anything - and the cinematography was gorgeous
(not to mention the score)

be tough to top.

mind you - the thought of a bunch of vacuous actors getting slaughtered is tempting :)


like soavi's stage fright ?

It's a good one, but the ending is weak. The beginning scenes are phenominal...very dark, very stylish, very creepy. The scene with the well made me jump shit, and the rats scene is so damn chilling.

Really, really ejoyed it. Karen Black is phenominal.

Beyond the Mat

Really excellent behind the scenes wrestlng documentary. Even if you aren't a fan of wrestling, I think most people could find this informative and enjoyable and I also think anyone that checks it out will certainly come away from with a somewhat renewed respect for wrestlers, and the damage they put their bodies through for the sole purpose of entertaining the fans.

i think you have a typo there ..


you mean beyond the moat dont you ?

Phalanx 11-10-2006 06:30 AM

Yeah, I saw Beyond the Mat too...was pretty interesting, a better quality watch than I was expecting.

Just got back from Saw3...it was ok...but that's about it. Tried to go further over the top with the gore factor, but kinda felt like it was just trying too hard this time. It was good in that it had a slightly more cohesive plot than the second one did, but I just found myself overall disinterested. Really seemed to lack the heart and soul of the first two films...I think any MORE sequels would just further damage this franchise.

Liked it
Have you seen The Smashing Machine? It covers some similar territory but it's way more intense and terrifying.

Geddy 11-10-2006 12:05 PM

I watched some remeberance day movie at school.It was kind of interesting.

Really? I think when 4 comes around it will be fresh simply because of what happened in 3. I'm hoping it will be good because 3 was fairly interesting and raised a lot of questions that I'm hoping will be answered.

Night of the Living Dead (remake), always fun.

the_real_linda 11-11-2006 02:31 AM

i went to see saw 3 again........its sooooo much better on a second watching....amanda still rules

urgeok 11-11-2006 02:48 AM

The MAtrix - showed my kid the movie for the 1st time.


its taken pretty much for granted now - but that first one is such a good god damn movie ..

Phalanx 11-11-2006 02:51 AM

...With truly unworthy (aside from a few moments) and above-all unneccessary sequels. This one would've made far more impact in the long run as a sci-fi classic if they'd just left it...but no, gotta milk the dollars...

The first Matrix is still a stands alone all time classic SFI-FI.:)

Just saw High Tension for the first time. I definitely thought that it was a good movie the ending threw me for a loop completely unexpected. Thank god no one ruined it for me.
