I'll see about picking it up next time I'm at Blockbuster.

Fangoria: Blood Drive II

I'll go ahead and say, this was an improvement over the first one. Not much, but a few of the films had a lot better camera work and acting.

8/10

Its not that great, IMO

I watched the first half-hour or so of it at a friend's house awhile back...beautiful animation, but I couldnt understand a damn thing that was going on.

Yeah, I read a review on it and it said that if you never played FFVII to just forget the story....Sadly, I never played the game. lol

The Last King of Scotland (2006)

Wow! What a spectacular film! Forest Whitaker damn well better get the Best Actor Academy Award. (And, chances are, he will.)

The Departed

Great acting here all around (How could it not be with this all-star cast?), good direction & script, lots of action, but it was a bit long. While this is probably one of the better crime films to come out in recent years, I don't neccesarily think it's Scorsese's best work. (I'd actually rank quite a few of his films ahead of it.... Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino and maybe even The Color of Money.) Any soundtrack with Dropkick Murphys featured so prominently is a good soundtrack in my book!

All in all, I really enjoyed this film, however I think I had built up my expectations a bit too high because I thought it was somewhere in between good & great, but not the spectacular crowning achievement in Scorsese's career that I've been led to believe it was gonna be.

B+


A really good movie, but I think it's been a little bit over-hyped.

The Exorcist 10/10

Pulp Fiction again.

Dawn Of The Dead (1978)

Alright, I finally got around to seeing this. I must say, the people here and everywhere else over-hyped this a little. It was a great movie, yes, but it was nothing compared to Night Of The Living Dead in my opinion.

10/10

Yes, I'm giving this a 10 out of 10, but it still wasn't better than several other movies I've seen.

Saturday Night Fever.

I love this movie, it's a classic as far as I'm concerned. I really enjoy watching movies that catch the time they're filmed in. The disco rage is fascinating to me....the clothes and the dancing and the general attitude. It's strange to think my kids will look at a movie like that the same way I look at old Fred Astaire movies.

That might be a bit of a rough watch then. If nothing else, I still suggest watching it for the animation, because it's some of the most gorgeous graphics I've ever seen. As far as not having played FFVII, yeah, a good stand alone movie it is not. I think that's the majority of the magic of it is seeing the characters you grew to love out of a groundbreaking game again in a new story.

I played about 5 minutes of FFVII, and I just couldn't stomach the graphics. I saw the "Spirits Within" FF movie, but I didn't think it was all that spectacular. Good animation, but that was about it.

They're both spectacular. Night was obviously the origin of the zombie genre as we know it, but Dawn had a lot more gore. I love them both for similar & different reasons. (If that makes any sense.)

P.S. I can't believe you haven't seen it before! How about Day?

Nope, I haven't seen it either. I don't even own it yet. That's my next trip to the store. ;)

Also, is Day 2 any good?

The Evil Dead

Again, another first time watching a movie. This one was OKAY in my opinion. I'll admit, it wasn't my favorite. But it was good. Worth a watch for any horror fan. I think my past couple of days have just seen too many Zombie films. Time for a little switch.

7/10

Dahmer. love the true crime stuff.

Pennywise: Home Movies

I love, love, LOVE Pennywise. Along with Bad Religion & NOFX, they are one of my all-time favorite bands. That being said, this video was a MAJOR disappointment. First off, Netflix had it marked as 60 minutes when in fact it was only 35. Secondly, there was only 5 live songs shown on the whole thing & the sound quality was terrible on them. The rest of the video just consisted of clips from the tourbus or hotel rooms, but nothing real substantial. When this arrived in the mail, I was totally fired up to watch it and now that I did, I'm severely disappointed.

Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices

I've always hated Wal-Mart for the way they conduct their business (moving in to small towns and utterly crushing the local competition right out of business with their sweatshop low prices) so I really didn't need to watch this to figure out any new reasons to hate Wal-Mart, but this is an EXCELLENT documentary! EXCELLENT. If you're a Wal-Mart shopper, watch this & you won't be. This film basically covers everything.... From how Wal-Mart deliberately runs small stores out of business, to how their corporate management openly discriminates against women and minorities, to how they pollute without regard while claiming to be environmentally conscious, to how they operate their sweatshops in Bangladesh & China (and fire American employees they send to the sweatshops to report on conditions when they report something that Wal-Mart doesn't like), to how they vehemently refuse any possibility of a worker's union, to how they claim to take care of their employees while paying them less than a livable income and terrible helath coverage (Wal-Mart actually TELLS their employees to use state sponsored health programs, WIC & welfare instead of just offering better benefits to them.), to how the Walton family (owners) donated a whopping less than 1% of their combined wealth (of over 100 billion dollars) to charity (By comparison, Bill Gates donated 58% of his wealth to charity) to how they train their store managers to actually go into the computer systems and delete worker's over time or shuffle it ahead to the next week.

I fancy myself pretty well informed on Wal-Mart's dirty deeds but I still learned a lot from this documentary and I highly suggest that you do too. See this before you set foot in to a Wal-Mart (or Sams Club. Same ownership.)

In all, this is probably one of the best documentary's I've ever seen & I wish there was a way that I could make every single person in this country watch it.

Anyone else seen this Wal-Mart documentary?

Fuck no Day 2 isn't any good! The fact that it's even called Day of the Dead 2 is a gigantic slap in the face to Mr. Romero. Day 2 is like some godawful Sci-Fi channel quality film that somehow managed to get the rights to use that name. Romero should drag whoever directed that piece of shit right out into the streets and beat them.



Also, I think you would like Evil Dead 2, more than Evil Dead. It's far more entertaining on the whole.

Haha, then I will hold off on watching that one for awhile. Should I see Land and the remakes of the others? I have the remake of Dawn, just haven't watched it.

That is one film I am having a hard time getting my hands on. The stores around here don't carry it and it got stolen from my blockbuster a week before I was going to rent it. I could order online, but I have no credit card and my parents don't like buying online. So I'm going to have to wait awhile on that one I suppose.:(

Day of the Dead is a great movie. I'm sure you remember when Land came out a lot of people here hated it. I liked it quite a bit, but just be aware that the majority are against me here.

As far as the remake of Dawn goes, it's one of the better remakes ever made IMHO. It's right up there with The Thing, The Blob, The Ring & The Fly. Plus, it's got a swinging lounge version of Disturbeds 'The Sickness' which I dug. I can't speak for the 90's remake of Night, as that's one of the few on the HDC Top 100 I have yet to see. I don't think watching the remakes before you watch Day & Land is a big deal, though. I'm ashamed to admit that I still haven't watched the original Dawn since I saw the remake, and I really want to compare & contrast. All good viewing though.

BTW, I haven't seen DotD 2: Contagium yet but I've heard lots of horror fans say it's the worst movie ever made:eek:

My next trip to the store is going to be picking up Day and Land. I'll probably watch the series through, then go back and watch the remakes.

Haha, I may just be avoiding DOTD2. :eek:

Matrix: 10/10 4th fav film I think...

Matrix 2: 6/10 boring as hell until the last hour. Then boring again after the trucks.

KillBill 1: 11/10 fav movie.

Scream 10/10 fav horror.

SWAT- 3/10 a stupid buy.

XXX state of the union- 7/10 I enjoyed it.

Yep, brilliant doc-filmmaking.

It did a good job of showing not only the political issues, but focusing in on the moral issues, showed us just how this corporation has damaged so many lives, both American and otherwise.

The film actually made me stop shopping at Wal-Mart. It was that effective. Glad to see someone else has seen it and got something out of it.

Oh!Oh!



I watched the pokemon 2000 movie today!!!






Sit through this thing and then you can call yourself a true horror fan.:D

last action hero

The Dream Team

I remember Peter Boyle's character telling a patient in the hospital to rise and walk which resulted in the patient trying to get up but falling flat on his face. I didn't see it when I watched it this time... odd.

I haven't got to see this yet but it's so odd because my aunt makes over $80,000 a year at Wal-Mart and gets good benefits...
They shouldn't HAVE to allow a union in either but that's just my opinion. Oddly enough, I went to Wal-Mart months and months ago and asked everybody in the "movie" department if they had this movie and I was met with blank stares. I am anxious to see it, I'll have to add it to my Netflix list. Personally I haven't really shopped at Wal-Mart since they edited all their music, stopped selling Al Snow toys, and wouldn't sell that Southern gentleman's BBQ sauce because he flew a confederate flag above his factory.

Yeah?

I saw it in theatres:cool: (Also saw the 1st and 3rd...even when I liked Pokemon I thought #3 was crap, haha)

Transformers: The Movie.
I've always loved it, and I always will. Unfortunately, now every time I hear "You Got The Touch" in the movie I get a mental picture of Marky Mark coked out and screeching.

Lady Terminator

Don't dare to miss this one!

Beautifully made a truly brilliant & hilarious creature feature!

Dr. Moreau's: House Of Pain

Alright, I got this one out of pure boredom. I mean, it has pig people on the front! But needless to say, this was not that great of a movie at all.

4/10

Se7en, finally, for the first time.

It was certainly very good, but I might have let expectations surpass enjoyment. I enjoyed Fight Club much more.

From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money

This was a good sequel, but it didn't surpass the original by any means. The first one had much more story and better action in my opinion. Still a good film tough.

7/10

Is that the one with Bruce Campbell?

Yep. It's a shame he didn't have a bigger part in it.

The Hills Have Eyes (remake)


Close to one of my favorites now. I love the heroism (is that a valid word for what i'm talking about?) When the brother goes and kicks ass. I love the acting, and the blonde sister rocks. Great dog part too.

9/10 very intense


Assault on Precinct 13 (remake)

It was ok, nothing amazing though. Some good gun kills, very nice. It got kinda retarded near the end though, and the plot kinda went everywhere, but for an action suspense movie it was ok.

6.5/10

"Room 6" 7/10

Pretty decent horror movie.

I liked that movie. It wasn't really scary, but it had a nice feel to it.

The feel?

If it wasn´t for the cool demon make-up and the scene in the church, i would probably have given it a 5-6/10


the ending at the hospital felt rushed and very nonclimatic. And the confrontation with the doctors REALLY sucked.

lol, Yes, the end did seem rushed, but through the movie it had an odd atmosphere. I mean, it held your attention didn't it?
