Mothman, yeah, Strangers with Candy is loosely based on the series of the same name that came out, what now about 7-8 years ago? Same characters, same writers...etc...I don't think the movie treads any new ground, it's more like a remake thing, from what I've seen anyhow.

I TRIED to watch "renaissance: paris 2049"...spectacular animation, but personally I found it boring as all fuck.

Little Monsters

It had been about a decade since I had seen this. It was alright. The Savage brothers (Fred & Boy Meets World) do a pretty good job and the story is certainly unique, but it's pretty tame (PG13 at most. Maybe even PG.) so there isn't really any gore. The humor is minimal and overall, it was only semi-entertaining but if you've got kids that wanna watch horror movies, but are too young for the REAL ones, then this would be pretty good for that age group. My brother in law is in 3rd grade. He loves scary movies (Because he knows I do) but he can't see many of them unless they are showing on tv & edited for content so something like this would be perfect for someone like him. For someone like me though... Well, I wasn't bored, but I wasn't overly entertained either.

I've only seen "monster squad" once when it was on at the movies...I've wanted to see it again ever since, even though I remember very little.

I highly recommend it. It's one of my favorite teen horror films of all time.

I love the Monster Squad, but Little Monsters annoys the hell out of me. Mostly because of Fred Savage's little brother. I kept hoping he'd get monstered to death.


Just watched Lust in the Dust. Pretty funny movie....I enjoyed it a lot.

Last seen movie...Troll 2. Awesome!

Phalanx 11-14-2006 04:25 AM

Just saw "The Warriors", special edition...
I always liked this movie, the fight scenes, the dialogue, the music.
Still fun to this day....haven't seen it in a while...I didn't remember there being all that comic/cartoon shit in it though...
Good watch.

I think it's only in the new director's cut.

night of the living dead with the romero comentary on

Phalanx 11-14-2006 04:04 PM

Ah, thats why then...it's not bad, but it DOES take something out of the oldskool feel...still, great movie though...
Cant rightly say I remember that bit at the very beggining either, telling about the soldiers and all, but it WAS a long time ago that I first saw it.
Glad of this purchase one way or another, quality film, cheap price.

Elvis_Christ 11-14-2006 04:18 PM

I thought all the cartoon stuff totally ruined the flick. Especially that crap at the start. You're better off with the old edition.

I kind of liked it. The director always wanted to make it more like a living comic book he said, seemed to enhance that point. Now tony Scott's remake... I don't know if I'll dig that (sucka).

Wow, this was excellent! It makes me wonder why this is the first time I've seen it, but I really enjoyed this one. Well acted, very unique idea, crazy plot, plenty of gore and a good ending. You can really see how Saw, and especially Saw 2, borrowed some ideas from this one. Evidently, there are 2 sequels to it also, so I'll have to make sure to check them out too. I really enjoyed this one and was entertained from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Just finished watching

THE 13TH WARRIOR

Based on a old Norse saga , I enjoy this movie. It's the third time I have watched it.

Does anyone know of any good Viking movies???

Is this the one with Antonio "I'm too sexy" Banderas??? I think I saw it, but I don't remember it being good???

"Bloody Birthday"

Really crappy movie, obviously inspired by "village of the damned", that does nothing to explain anything whatsoever. Things just happens.

And the girl playing the goody big sister SUCKED!!!

You mean based on the Michael Crichton novel (The Eaters of the Dead) that's based on the epic poem Beowulf.


As for viking moves, try The Vikings (A Kirk Douglas classic) or the upcoming The Pathfinder (nothing to do with JF Cooper's novel)

i was going to suggest that but it doesnt have the slickness of the 13th warrior. a lot of folks dont appreciate the older classics after seeing something new so it's just a cautionary warning.

what he may want to check out is Beowulf & Grendel
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402057/


i will say that 13th warrior is a pretty decent film adaptation of eaters of the dead..

The Vanishing (Spoorloos)
Brilliant film, a pleasure to watch every time. I don't hate the remake like some but it's just not the same. If you haven't seen it, do so.
