I m glad you finally got around to watching that excellent movie. Glad you liked it.

One of my most memorable and fond ones from the 1980s.:)

dark water remake

dekalog 9&10
hills have eyes 2

Flavia the Heretic


6/10

From Hell

Night Watch: Nochnoi Dozor

Took me awhile to figure out what the Hell was going on, but once I got my head wrapped around it it was pretty awesome.

Children of the Night



6/10

The effects are some crazy shit huh?
One of the better, more original vampire films to come out in quite some time.
Waiting patiently for the cinema release of the sequel.


Saw the latest harry potter at the cinema today.
As per usual, a lot from the books just skimmed over...but it wasn't bad...just seems like the films are just like "hmmm...ok" after seeing the first few.
Relatively faithful adaptation, but I much preferred the Cuaron guy that directed the third one, better feel.
I guess if the other films are good enough for you, this one will be too.
Nice effects and good to see some wizard on wizard fights...

Friday the 13th parts 1, 2 & 3. I will be starting The Final Chapter in a few minutes.

Reno 911!: Miami.

Team America World Police.

AIDSAIDS! AIDS! AIDS! AIDS! AIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDS! AIDSAIDS! AIDS! AIDSAIDSAIDSAIDS! AIDS! AIDS!

As of this morning, I ve rummaged through the racks of my DVDs and started to re-run the all-time greats.

Catching up on the all-timers series #1...

John Carpenter's The Thing. 09/10

Dont need to say anything about this one. Most of us know its pretty much flawless entertainment.

The only minor flaw which I always have noticed is that the scientists of the base dont tackle such a fatal problem with some level-headed thinking and logic, but MacReady, the helicopter pilot does? Hmm...

I do have a couple of small questions to anyone who's seen the original The Thing From Another World.

Since I havent seen the original yet, is JC's version different from the original, plot-wise and screenplay-wise?

And, is it better than JC's version? (I know the effects are different being 30 years apart, but what I really want to know concerns the atmosphere and the pace)

It's pretty different in tone, mostly because of the time difference, but they're both supreme films of the genre. There is a scene in Howard Hawks' version that qualifies as one of the most genuinely terrifying scenes in horror history.

I'll always defend a Howard Hawks film, so I hgihly recommend it. But I would have to say (and this is rare for me to say) that JC's remake is equally as good, if not better than, the original. Both are spot-on as far as breathtaking, heart-pounding pace, and mysterious sci-fi horror.

But V- trust me here, my friend. You definately need to do yourself a favor and check out The Thing From Another World. (And lemme know what you think of it afterwards!)

the shame on you :eek:

the remake sticks closer to the original short story

Feeling like a drive-in type movie last night, so I threw on "Race With The Devil" 1975.

It actually held up better than I thought it would.

Jason X
Freddy vs Jason

loving my Friday the 13th!

Final Chapter, A New Beginning, Jason Lives, The New Blood, Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, Freddy vs Jason.
It was a marathon all night.:D

Cape Fear (1962)

Actually, Robert Mitchum played a much better Max Cady than DeNiro. The film certainly looks great, with elegant suspense shots and beautiful noir, but the cotton candy ending leaves a sour taste.

Excellent. I have the DVD around somewhere I m sure, but I havent gotten around to watching it yet. Seems like its earned its way into my list of must-sees this weekend.

Thanks, alky and Z.

Alien. 09/10

I love this movie! The eye for details, the desolateness and darkly mysterious planet, and the characters...each of em unique in their attitudes and mentality. Ridley Scott is one of the finest in this genre.

The only unanswered question was the spaceship. We see it in Aliens too (on the uncut DVD version anyway). Where had it come from? Guess the makers wanted to answer it in a sequel/prequel which never got made, or maybe that was the idea behind the Cameron-Scott team-up for Alien 5, which was scrapped by Fox.

children of men, 8/10. a very depressing but real look at what might come to be.

Jason Goes to Hell

This is the lowest point thus far of a franchise taht's already gone down the shitter. The plot makes no sense and isn't the slightest bit congruent with previous storylines. The acting is mediocre. The gore is alright, but for the most part this one just sucks.

D+




Leonard Part 6

This is one of those under-rated so-stupid-its-funny comedys. Bill Cosby keeps it clean so it's along the lines of UHF or one of the Ernest Goes To.. films, all of which I enjoy. It's not easy to make a comedy that is PG and funny, but how can you help but smile at The Coz as the world's greatest secret agent?

Superman Returns 7/10

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 9.75/10

practically perfect, almost a ten but sometimes it didn't go by the book and that kind of bugged me.

Anacondas.

I can't wait to see it...I think I'm going tonight.

There aren't many movies nowadays that can provide the sheer entertainment and excitement that the Harry Potter films do.

King-Kong ('05)

Dont you just LOVE that ending?


I didnt have time for a marathon last night, so I just popped in my favourite Friday: Part III

The Love Butcher (1975)

6/10

I've seen a ton of new movies lately so I can't really remember them all.

The Wicker Man - Ehh...

Deja Vu - Denzel = GOAT but ehh...

Beerfest - Not nearly as funny as Super Troopers.

A Scanner Darkly - Better than I thought it'd be. Gotta love Downey.

Catching up on the all-timers #3...

Night of the Living Dead. 09/10

Perfect in almost all ways. Incredible to see young Romero have such a keen eye for movie-making. The atmosphere, the pace and the script are spot-on. The beginning may look a bit stretched and dated to some people, but by golly this is one hell of a movie ever made.

Almost 40 years now, and it still creeps me out. Scary!

"They're Coming to Get you Barbara!!! " LOL that never gets old:D

last movie(s) i seen were:
Vampire Assassin (total crap)
Nightwatch(i will say better than vampire assassin, but it still came out with a crap load)
Halloween
Halloween II
Halloween Resurrection

the last 3 need i say more lol

Open Season 10/10

cool hand luke, 10/10. brilliant

Transformers

Great fun, even if sometimes it does come across as a two and half hour commercial....;) The special effects are awesome, I admit.
