Mitt.
Not as infuriating as I was expecting (I think/thought he was a complete asshole) but seeing into his personal life and what he's like behind the scenes... Pretty much confirmed what I thought. He's a rich dude who wanted to play President. I couldn't believe how little faith his family had in him. They backed him out of duty, but didn't seem to have any stomach for it. |

On your left, DC. ::big grin::

Wer (2013)
http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps788575f8.jpg A hairy guy gets misunderstood for being a werewolf!::big grin:: Just kidding! The idea was fair enough but I was expecting he would gradually get more Were outlook...particularly at the end but it didn't turned out that way. >>: B- 13 Sins (2014) http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...psa5ea3739.jpg **SPOILER**I didn't get or somehow couldn't able to follow all of those 13 tasks properly...I think they didn't show or I missed few of them, I guess. Moreover, he didn't participate that biker gang task, so how could he even qualify for the last one & win the prize?**SPOILER ENDS** And last but not the least, thought that ending twist(s) was overloaded. Overall, a decent effort for a remake but not up to mark. >>: B- Cannibal (2013) http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps5a783869.jpg This is the story of Carlos, a decent middle-aged guy who is a tailor, living in small beautiful town of Granada. The thing is Carlos has an appetite for human flesh and as a decent guy he's quite good at managing his food supply by keeping himself safe from any sort of suspicion of the police or the local folks. This Spanish flick is actually more of a drama with good characterization & additional fine balance between romance & thriller. The "horror" elements are very minimal. But it was beautifully shot with a decent subtle or to some extent, art-house film approach. The ending was bit of a sudden & kinda unsatisfactory, expected more but overall I liked it. >>: B+ |

I like Family Guy... And Rob Corddry too... But this movie just didn't work for me. |

Sure, the ending wasn't great, but to me it was a little less misfitting than the original. And both of them certainly leave room for sequels. |

"Axed" 4/10
After he gets fired a husband takes his family out to the countryside to... Stupid. Never figured out if this was a dark comedy horror flick or just plain horror. The humor was that dark. If there was any. |
Not really sure if this goes here or in TV shows. Watched the first disc of "100 Years of Horror". Hosted by Christopher Lee. Made me happy. ::big grin::
|
We have this on DVD...pretty good all around. Chris really is the last real Horror star and once he's gone, that is IT.::sad::

5/10 I enjoy strange movies, especially when I have to try to figure out what's going on: this movie just didn't make any sense to me really. The one thing I loved about it was how they were making sound effects inside of the Studio but the rest of the film seemed quite boring to me and didn't seem to make any sense to me at all. After it was over I simply just sighed: I was let down. |
NOTL Sam, I watched Sound Studio a well but for some reason didn't mind it in a Fulci's the Beyond type of ambiguous ending. I have a weakness for the visuals od a film. This one hit me with the visuals and combined it with interesting sound. In fact I like the depth od shadow as well as the brown tones in the film. For some reason I can set aside a somewhat "less than" script in favor of visual appeal.
Anyone see Reverb? I heard it may be in the same vein? |
THE GIFT 2000
Cate Blanchett, Katie Holmes, Keanu Reeves. A beautiful young socialite goes missing and a young widow steps in to help using her psychic ability. It was on television tonight and I rewatched it and remembered what a good movie I thought it was. |
The Raid 2 (2014)
http://cdn.mos.totalfilm.com/images/...833-470-75.jpg Intense, Brutal, violent, beautiful film. Best thing I have seen in some time. It even out does the first one. Some great bad guys but you gotta love this fella (and his partner): http://static.squarespace.com/static...ip-preview.jpg |

Definitely upset at 11 when Lon Chaney Jr died, as he was my first horror actor to pass after I got into this crazy obsession we have! |
BLADE (1998). Not bad, but not crazy about films based on comics as I find them lacking from the source. Two decent looking women help and pretty energetic throughout. Have heard the sequel is better and is on tap for later today. ***
|
The Unborn (2009). Very startling and creepy film.
|
The woman in black (2012)
|
NETHERBEAST INC. 2007
Vampires masquerading as office workers to blend in. Its billed as a "quirky" comedy. I didn't find it overly funny or quirky and some of it didn't add up but it wasn't horrible. |
I watched Insidious 2. I kinda liked the first one for its effective jump scares. This one didn't have the tension of the first one, so not really any scares. I did like the time jumps back and forth, and even a jump back to the first movie, but that was about it. Not worthless, but there are a lot better haunting movies out there. This is like a diet version of Wan's The Conjuring.

Got in "FROZEN" this weekend with my granddaughter. Deeelightful! ::big grin::

I watched The Last Days on Mars. It is about a international mars base crew that digs up a virus or whatever and turns the crew into zombies. So zombies on mars. It played the idea straighter than I expected, I thought there was going to be some kind of twist, but nope, just zombies on mars. As far as zombies on mars movies goes, this is the opposite of Ghosts of Mars. Ghosts of Mars is outlandish and over-the-top, whereas this one tried to make the premise as plausible as possible and treats everything seriously. The vehicles, suits, and station construction all seem to be plausible, this movie is just a hair short of hard SF. There are no guns or colorful characters in this one, and the zombies themselves are pretty straight forward. Honestly, although I am really tired of zombies, somehow I can not bring myself to hate this movie. It's derivative sure, but it doesn't have a jokey flavor or any in-jokes, it takes itself seriously and feels like it's genuinely interested in the story it has to tell. The high production values and great cast and performances go a long way towards that end. It was fairly absorbing and watchable. I think if you keep your expectations in check, it's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes.

"Joe" (2013) 7/10
This movie might be for the people who liked Winters Bone. Same location, same unpleasant people, different story. Thougt Nicholas Cage was damn good. |
Rambo (2008)
Fuckin' hell! That movie was way better than I expected. Sweet, brutal action flick with high body count. Stallone knows how to make movies. |
R.I.P.D 7/10
Suicide Kings 7/10 Pain & Gain 7/10 |
Got in two this weekend...
BLADE 2 (2002). Thought this was better than the original. ***1/2 THE ADDICTION (1995). Despite a lot of pretensions, this is a pretty good violent/bloody BW vampire flick. ***1/2 |
"Mud" 5/10
Nah, this one wasn't that interesting. But i predict Tye Sheridan will become one of the bigger actors of his generation. I guess it depends how he looks in about 5 years. Hard to say. He could end up looking like Tom Hardy. He could end up fugly. But right now he's got his acting skills and his movie choices working for him. Good luck, boy. |
