That is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've seen it 100+ times.

The Fog (1979)

Sadly, I saw the remake first, so that killed a bit of this one. I will say though, if at any way possible, watch this one and skip the remake. The remake will murder this movie for you. And that is something you don't want because this was a pretty damn good movie.

The Boogeyman 3: Return Of The Boogeyman

Now I think I see why this was in the video nasties collection. It was just a very stupid movie. Who in their right mind would put this garbage on a store shelf. It's most just a narrated version of the first movie in the series. Deffinetly skip this one.

Tonight, I'll either be watching

North by Northwest, which I once saw at the age of 13. I don't remember it very much, just that I thought it was very good. I'm told it's quite enjoyable and look foward to seeing it again after this long.

Children of Men, which I've yet to see at all.
I hear it's very good, and I like the film style of the guy who did it, thus far.
After seeing a trailer of this film way back when, thinking the plot KINDA resembled that of a comic I quite like "Y the Last Man"....or, an epidemic of similar nature anyhows. I like Clive Owen too, and assume he'll be as good as ever...this was one of those films I'm fairly certain I wanted to see, so I bought the dvd as soon as I saw it, and it's been lying here ever since.

Well yeah, it'll be one of those.

They're both excellent films...the difference is, North by Northwest is just exciting, nostalgic action fun, whereas Children of Men is very heavy, very powerful stuff. If your mind isn't crystal clear and your eyes wide open, watch North by Northwest. Otherwise, you'll be blown away by Children of Men.

It's huge entertainment. The cast just carries the film so beautifully that the three hour movie goes by incredibly fast, and you're almost left wanting more.

You have good taste, my friend.

Posher778 05-30-2007 09:00 AM

Smokin' Aces- 7/10 It was good, great gun action towards the end, some cool twists and turns, cool characters. The problem is that you can't find a character that you like, everyone's too guilty as it is. I did like Alicia Key's character though, mean black women are always entertaining.

Casino Royale- 9/10 This is one of my favorite movies now. Not because of the action, but because of the style. It's perfectly done, just... everything. The dialogue is outstanding, especially between bond and his women, haha. The action, however, is fantastic, especially the nail gun fight, muahahaha. I love the card game scenes too, very drawn out, kinda suspenseful if you think about it. It's just an amazing movie, love it to death.

One of the few remakes I flat out refuse to see; I usually at least try to give a film a chance, remake or not, but I love the original, and I can't see myself being anything but disgusted by the remake......:rolleyes:

Let's see......last movies watched were American History X, one of my favorites, and I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, good cast, great potential, but the movie just falls apart along the way. Too many questions left unanswered, and honestly, it seemed as if the writer just didn't know how to handle the subject matter at times.

The Mothman 05-30-2007 09:14 AM

For A Few Dollars More again.

i rate this below TGTB&TU and A Fistful Of Dollars.

TGTB&TU was perfect in every aspect.

A Fistful Of Dollars set up a strange and surreal enviroment. nice atmosphere and some great action. loved it.

For A Few Dollars More i feel falls below the other 2. still an excellent film no doubt, i just dont find it to be quite as entertaining.

stygianwitch 05-30-2007 10:20 AM

Tremors... again :o ... ahh who cares, i love this movie :)

I'd switch For a Few Dollars More with A Fistful of Dollars on my list. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is easily the strongest film in the series, and one of the strongest films ever, but For a Few Dollars More was closer to it for me than A Fistful of Dollars.

Plus, I love Morricone's score for F.A.F.D.M.

stygianwitch 05-30-2007 02:23 PM

After the day i've had i needed to 'lose myself' in a movie so i watched Serenity, followed by Slither for a little light relief :)

Well, I was a little sleepy so I went with North by Northwest...got through about a half hour of it, and will watch the rest today. I was surprised at how funny it was, and remember NOTHING of it. I like the whole premise, and thus far I'm enjoying it...if anyone could reccomend any other films like this I'd be glad to hear it. I remember liking Vertigo as well, another one I watched once when I was a kid...

Morricones score is certainly stronger in FAFDM than from A Fistful Of Dollars, and a fistful of dollars lacks Van Cleef, but i felt a couple scenes in FAFDM were a little over dramatic when it wasnt need.
ex. the scene when Indio faces off against the blonde headed guy, it was extremely drawn out, and it didnt need to be, because you didnt know the blonde headed character at all. There was also parts in the film that were rather slow, but IMO its still an amazing film, i just like A Fistful Of Dollars more for its strange atmosphere.

If you like North by Northwest, you'll love The Man Who Knew Too Much (1955). It's a similar "man gets caught up in worldly affairs" international thriller also directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Make sure you get the 1955 version starring James Stewart, because Hitch directed an earlier version as well, which isn't as strong.

Of course I'll always recommend Vertigo...it's my third favorite film of all time. It's a hauntingly surreal thriller with ballsy twists and a fierce cast.

I've got plenty of Hitchcock recommendations if you'd like more...

alkytrio666 05-30-2007 10:13 PM

Smokin' Aces (2007)

Over-acted, over-dramatized, over-twisted, and overwhelming. I just found the whole thing a bit juvenile. Great idea...started well, finished sloppy.

Epic Movie


Ach! This was terrible!!! It's like the writer's had no clue what an "epic" movie even was, because if they had, they surely wouldn't have thought that Nacho Libre or Click spoofs belonged in this film. This was just stupid. Unfunny, poorly written, the lead actress was annoying. Run, don't walk away from this piece of shit!

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan

This one's pretty bad. Lame kill scenes, really stupid storyline, nothing all that original... All in all, just a lame, boring slasher.

The Dark-
This was much better than I thought it would be.The mythos at the centre of the storyline is based on Welsh Legend which gives the movie some originality,there are some formulaic elements but the good outweighs the bad.
The Welsh coastline makes for an unusual backdrop that is well captured by the cinematography.Sean Bean and Maria Bello give solid performances and the two child actors are pretty good too.The movie is not really scary but does feature some quite unnerving scenes none the less.7/10

South park bigger longer and uncut.

Hellraiser 2.

you only got round to watching that now? it is a great movie. 'there's no fucking dope!' in an irish accent. apparently the bit in the police lineup when they all laugh at fensters english is an outtake that they included. benicio's english mustn't have been too good back then

Pan's Labyrinth

This movie, I was a bit skeptical to watch for the fact that I had really high expectations for. I wasn't disapointed. This is a fantastic movie and personally I think it should be in everyones collection. Probably the best movie of last year and most likely the best DVD release for this year.

10/10

Marronnier

Okay, first off, I'm going to point out that this is pretty much the Japanese version of House Of Wax. That being said, it's a pathetic version of it. The whole story really makes no sense, the ending is confusing, and it has some of the stupidest scenes I've seen in a long time scattered all over the film. I wouldn't suggest anyone getting this movie personally. The only good parts were the few gory parts.

2/10

swiss tony 06-01-2007 05:06 PM

pan's labyrinth and the usual suspects in one night for the first time would be amazing. i guess it's still great to watch either on their own. a forgotten classic is:D always a nice surprise. i'm about to watch AUM for the first time, god rest my soul
