Dog Day Afternoon

It was pretty cool. Al Pacino does a good job and the main cop guy is hilarious when he's yelling at all th eidiot deputies, which is often. It's a weird movie, but then again truth is stranger than fiction and this is based on a true story. Every synopsis I read of the film talked about the plot being about AL Pacino trying to rob a bank to get money in order to help his gay lover afford a sex change so I wasn't in any big hurry to watch it, thinking it was like some arthouse crap I wouldn't like, but that was actually a really minor subplot in really cool bank robbery film.

House Of Wax (1953)

So, I finally got around to watching this one. After the fact that I saw the "remake" first, I now see that the "remake" isn't really a remake at all. It's a completely new twist and invisionment on this old story. Truth be told, this version is a remake itself. Almost exact actually. But anyway:

7/10

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Vodstok 06-15-2007 10:50 AM

Have seena lot of movies new to me anyway:

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
Pirates of the Carribean: At world's end

The Hitcher (remake)
Disturbia

The Score

I liked all of them, but disturbia wasnt so great. I was surprised at how much i liked the hitcher. The POTC movies are good mostly mindless fun. I like that Phil from Shaun of the Dead is Davy Jones.

Next in line:
Zodiac

Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer

My 4 year old really wanted to go see it, so...

It is a little better than the first film, but that isn't saying much. The acting (aside from Chris Evans' Johnny Storm and Doug Jones' Silver Surfer) is some of the worst I've seen in a major motion picture in some time. The direction is ham-fisted, the dialog is atrocious, the special effects are only "special" in the short-bus sense of the word and Jessica Alba's terrible blonde dye-job and phony blue contacts are sooooo distracting. What's worse is that every time a picture of Sue Storm appears on a TV or a newspaper (which is over-used) her eyes are their natural brown! Whats the very worst is that they somehow make one of the foxiest females in Hollywood look... kinda dowdy:mad:

Ocean's Thirteen. 07/10


Didnt expect much from this one after the rather paler Ocean's Twelve, but this one is surprisingly good. To say anything would be giving away the plot, but the characterisation is superb and the direction and rendering of the movie is decent. The pace is quite nice once it starts, and the returning actors do an awesome job of maintaining the continuity.

Recommended by me. This is one trilogy which is actually good.

Mystery Of The Wax Museum

Alright, watching the original House Of Wax before this one may have killed it for me. But hell, it was still a good movie. If I had time, I'f type a longer review, but I have to run.

Grave of the Fireflies

Amazingly beautiful and depressing as hell. Seriously, I'm not sure I've seen a more depressing film. And it's a fucking cartoon. It's about two young orphans struggling to survive in post-war Japan, but Oliver Twist this is not. Definitely one-of-a-kind. Watch only if you wish to have your heart broken.

I'm still not certain if I love it or hate it... it is certainly lingering with me.

The Fly 2

Alright, I'm gonna catch a lot of flack for this, but I think this sequel was actually better than the first one. This reminded me more of the original The Fly, not the remake. So, like it or not, I'm giving this one a decent score:

8/10

The Gravedancers

Not bad, I would definately give it a 7 out of 10, and recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen it, but it fell a bit short of my expectations. Being that it was part of the "8 films you cant see in theaters" festival last year, and the reviews i read made it out to be something that would hgaunt me for months and stain my underwear, i was a little let down that i wasnt terrified by it.


It did have the first "BOO" moment to make me jump in years, and the ghosts were spot-on freaky looking., i dont know what it was, there was just something missing from it for me.

The Sid character couldnt act his way out of a wet paper bag, and really the wife is th eonly truly sympathetic character in the whole thing, but it has a great traditional horror pattern (freaky opening, slow build up to a fsat paced climax)


All in all, if you haVENT SEEN IT, WATCH IT, IT IS FUN IF NOTHING ELSE, AND IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW MORE PEOPLE SHOULD AT LEAST BE TRYING TO DO HORROR MOVIES.


(I hit caps lock at the end there, and i am not retyping it. sorry)

Duel to the Death

It started off with Ninjas fighting Shaolin Monks... then Ninjas and Monks were exploding...then Ninjas flew in on Kites...then a hot Chinese chick slashes the shit out of some people...then the best Samurai warrior is going to fight the best Kung Fu Monk...then more ninjas show up and one of them strips, and it turns out she's a girl. So there's a hot, naked, female ninja attacking a Shaolin Monk.

Add political intrigue, plucky comic relief, a talking bird, touching moments with children, supernatural powers, Ninja stars flying all over the place, the best beheading I've ever seen and an epic fight between the greatest warriors in the world on a cliff hundreds of feet above the churning sea!!!!

This is the best movie ever made.

Aliens

After this movie picked up a little bit, it wasn't as boring as I was expecting. The first movie in the series was a little on the boring side to me for some reason. This one was a bit better. And as everyone has told me, it's a lot like Dog Soldiers.

8/10

The Messengers

This movie was exactly what I expected it to be. It's a cross between The Grudge, Gothika and The Amityville Horror. You can guess the ending a mile away. But I will say, this film did hold my attention for the running time.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse

I hate to say it, but I enjoyed this one more than the first one and even Land Of The Dead. Much better movie in my opinion. More action, faster paced, more recognizable characters. Overall something that I would reccomend for most anyone to watch.

8/10
