maybe I check out "Begotten" tonight...some horror fans seems to like it...dont think I will

joshaube 03-05-2007 10:04 AM

I only wish I could see Begotten. It's impossible to find, even illegally.

Cemetery Man / Dellamorte Dellamore
I liked it. I don't know what else to say other then that. It had a certain charm I haven't encountered before. Italian horror, perhaps?

Psycho up next. This will be the first time I watch anything Hitchcock.

OMG!!!!!!!

You have to see ROPE, VERTIGO, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN and SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!!!!!

Fahrenheit 451
Still impactful as hell. Watching the books burn is so oddly emotionally impacting. My worst nightmare.

No love for Rear Window? Or Frenzy? Or The Lady Vanishes?

Scent of a Woman

Yep, Pacino pretty much owns you all...incredible performance. Parts of the movie were a little much, but Pacino was absolutly amazing.

AHHHHHHHH!

Yeah, see Vertigo, Rear Window, Rope, Shadow of a Doubt, The Birds, and North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much (Stewart version)...and then see all the rest.

Just going to say that. I didn't enjoy the movie at all. It was just... stupid.

joshaube 03-05-2007 02:30 PM

Psycho
Even with all the hype and praise surrounding it, which I've been exposed to for years, I still wasn't dissapointed. Simply amazing. The twist was predictable, but the explanation of his exact illness was excellent and very creative. Loved it, and will definitely be looking forward to more Hitchcock.

Evil Dead 2 & 3 tonight, Vertigo tomorrow.

Vertigo's my favorite Hitchcock flick, and my fourth favorite movie of all time. Atmospheric and mysterious. Suspenseful and unpredictable.

Bon appetite!

Ditto......except for the fourth favourite bit.

joshaube 03-05-2007 05:57 PM

Evil Dead II
Along with the original, this has to be one of my favourite horror movies (or movies in general) of all-time. It's dark, atmospheric, has generally creepy moments - while all the time being utterly hillarious, quotable, disgusting, fun, repulsive, gory, and a host of other descriptive words. I never get tired of watching it. In fact, right now... I want to watch it again. But I'll opt out in exchange for Army of Darkness (which I haven't seen in it's entirety before).

A wonderfully charming film that you can't help but enjoy watching through every minute of it. Loved it.

You forgot overlong and drawn out ;)

Josh, dont get your hopes up too high for Vertigo....it wasnt impressed. The ending is fantastic and Stewart is good as always, but otherwise it doesnt have a whole lot going for it. An hour of plot strung out over two...decent movie, but nothing special IMHO.

That said, about 95% of people disagree with me on this point, so who knows.

Well, we'll let the man make his own decision.

For me, there isn't a plot, with the exception of Casablanca's, that I'd rather be intricately drawn into. I enjoy the length on Vertigo.

The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher

I was looking for a fun trashy flick and this didn't really fit the bill.

Just throwing another opinion out there for him:)

The Decent or Desent....one of those, to me it was kinda dark, i couldnt see anything....which always makes me sick

The Last King of Scotland

Very good movie, made even better by a spectacular performance by Forest Whitaker. I really liked how they handled the subject matter, how they sort of kept the audience in the dark about the horrors of his regime for most of the movie.

It was quite good, wasn't it? I thought Forest did an incredible job, and the rest of the cast was fiery as well.

Agreed, the whole cast was pretty impessive.

The only weak link that I noticed was Amin's security advisor (his name escapes me). Not that he was bad, but his whole performance was just just walking cliché.

Yeah, definately. Next to the rest of the cast he was dull.

Tom Brown's School Days (1940). Just watched this, hadn't seen it in 20 years or so! Still a great movie.

I watched Asshounds 7 today. It was pretty much what I expected.

I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer

This was slightly better than I was expecting, but that still only puts it into the mediocre slasher range. Decent acting, decent gore, very stupid ending. Hopefully this will be the end of this franchise. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone either.

It keeps getting sillier every time I watch it, but it's fun.:cool:
Rusty Griswold annoys me, though.

Army of Darkness
Out of the trilogy, this is... IMO... the worst. It just doesn't feel like Evil Dead to me. The character is the same, and there are more quotable one-liners here then the previous two combined. It's Ash, but it's not Evil Dead. I can't explain it well. I just didn't like it in comparison to the previous segments.

TheGoblinQueen 03-06-2007 12:13 PM

Camron's Closet.

It was an okay film and kind of dated but I liked it.

I feel the same way. I almost feel like it tried way too hard, and in result became the most popular and commercial of the three, but wasn't nearly as relentless or entertaining.
