Halloween 5.

The Last House on the Left

As I mentioned a page or two back, I had some friends in overnight for a movie marathon. Got through a couple more than I'd planned:

- Deer Woman
- Dead-Alive
- Bruiser
- House of 1000 Corpses
- Devil's Rejects
- Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys

I'd seen all but two of them before, Dead-Alive and Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys.

Dead-Alive was a gooood time....gory, sick and hilarious! I'll definatly be watching it some more.

Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys....I dont even know what to say about this one. I mean, you have movies that are so bad they're funny, but this was just so bad it's unbelievable. Corey Feldman...poor washed up little guy.

I couldnt have if I was alone...fun to rip it apart with friends though.

Puppet Master wasnt exactly high-art to begin with, but this makes it look like Casablanca.

The Departed ....best one from Martin Scorsese
since "Casino"

never say never again

Man... classic non-james bond james bond movie ripping off the plot from a james bond movie.

And with Kim Bassinger :)


I always thought they were just beeing funny when they cast Bernie Casey as Felix Lighter. I bet Sean Connery got a kick out of that.

Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter

Batman Returns

Barnyard: Another typical animal-based CGI flick, complete with an over-preached message. I wish I was still 5 so I could get some enjoyment out of these.

Open Season is up next, which I'm hoping will be better.

Spettro, Lo , the sequel to Orribile segreto del Dr. Hichcock, L'.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Classic, one of the best slashers out there.

Im going to try to work my way through the whole series over the next few days....

Drive-In Madness

(a really fun documentary on drive-in theatres and the films they play/played. Recommended, if you can find a copy on Ebay or somehweres.)

Escape from L.A.
Dawn of the Dead

Swarm-god it was a big pile of shit.

Idiocracy.

I loved it, it's retarded and completely genius at the same time. Not on the same level as office space, but I think it's one of the funnier movies of last year.

Bloody Mary (2006) (see b-movie thread)
Next up... Creepshow 3.

Creepshow 3
I've only ever seen the first Creepshow movie, and I really enjoyed it. I've been hearing nothing but negative things about this sequel, but I must say... even when I had decided to hate it beforehand, I ended up really enjoying it. The animation and title sequence was horid, IMO, and I was sad to see that no Creeper / Comic Book existed. Based on this, I was expecting the worst. The first story had terrible acting, and didn't make much sense to me, so the expectations stayed the same. But after that, there was a giant leap in quality. I loved every story beyond that, and even looking back, I can appreciate the first. Each story is inter-connected by various characters, which is interesting and creates a sort of "time-line" in which everything occurs. Pretty wild. The stories are equally over-the-top and hillarious as the first (even more so, perhaps) and the wierd factor is definately there. I dug this, I have to admit, and it certainly isn't as terrible as most people make it out to be.

Battle Royale

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge

Decent enough. Not on par with the first, but it wasnt bad.

How in the hell did Freddy start killing people at the pool party?Everyone was awake.I've never got that one.

He possessed Jesse. That gave him a flesh-and-blood body, so he could live and kill in the real world.

But wasn't Jesse in the house while Freddy was outside?Thats where I get confused, I did understand the possesion thing though.

Cult
A low-budget horror movie with some stars one might recognize from television. The entire opening feels like a trailer, a bad trailer (quick cuts timed to the beats in the background music). Yet after that we are treated to some nice, bright, and colourful camera shots. It sucked me in. It's obvious the director has some talent, but I don't think he quite reached his potential in this film. It fell sort of flat. It plays out like a typical teenager slasher, only with a cult aspect thrown in. Like Bloody Mary (which I watched earlier), I guess... only this time the cult came off as very... lame, and cheesy (not in the good way, either). It was an asian-based cult, and I couldn't help but get the vibe that someone working on the film was one of those white kids with a crush on martial arts, who think they're japanese or something. I don't know. It had strong acting, and good gore. The ending section just felt boring, and I stopped watching occassionally. Camera work, directing, and even acting to a certain level dropped significantly from the first act to the second. It's like they were loosing interest, just like I was.

I wouldn't reccomend it, but hey...

Next up is 2007's Grim Reaper. Time to see how much of a rip-off it is of Final Destination, with a premise like this:
"Death comes for us all, but after surviving a car crash that should have taken her life, Rachel Wilson finds herself stalked by the Grim Reaper himself intending on taking a soul he feels he is owed. Barely conscious in the ER room, Rachel struggles to convince the nurses that Death is coming for her and that her life is hanging in the balance. Supposedly, for her own protection, Rachel is locked up in a secure mental health facility. But it's not long before she discovers that her incarceration in the old hospital was no coincidence, surrounded by six other "patients" who, themselves, have cheated death. Over the course of the night they will have to face their worst fears, their own mortality, and Death himself."

Oh, Rogers Video... you deliver me such goodness with your wall of endless B-movies. :) (Oddly enough I do enjoy b-movies more then the average person should.)

Halloween:The Curse of Micheal Myers.

Lonely Hearts 2006....pretty good...have seen some unfair hard critic's...better than the self important "The Black Dahlia"...if you like old school Crime movies you probably like this....yeah and I rather watch "Lonely Hearts" a thousand times than to watch the boring piece of shit called "Capote" (2005) again....

bad influence

Zombie Flesh Eaters for the second time.

the american friend

Didn't finish Grim Reaper... partially due to it's badness, and my lack of sleep. Watched Just Friends though, and was pleasantly surprised. Going to watch Shortbus now.

Ice Age - The Meltdown 10 / 10

Night of the creeps 75/10 (slither is better)

all i can say is D'oh!" :o

Night of the creeps 5/10 (slither is better 9/10)

x-men: the last stand

maximum overdrive

I really enjoyed Shortbus. It's not for everyone, and it's very sexual... but somehow... I felt like it was the most realistic piece of cinema I've seen in a while. The most honest. The MPAA exists so all cinema doesn't end up like this, it protects our little fairy tale world. The realism in this was a fresh feeling. They didn't shy away from nudity, or use cheap tricks. They presented it like life was.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

Alot different, but easily as good as the first one. Great fun!

is it so bad as I remember ?

gonna see a obscure italien movie called "Lizard in a womens skin" today...I actually have the mondo Morricone soundtrack triology which is pretty good..

does royal rumble count...i was there 3 hours watching???

yes, mr king needs to stick to what he's good at


not that obscure, just getting another release
