Severance - 8/10

The Fountain

I don't know why I hadn't watched this one before. I LOVED it. A movie about themes more than plot, about beauty and life and death. Heavy handed, yes, but in this particular instance I appreciated the overtly romantic tale about two people with very different views about death.

8.5/10

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

Entertaining from start to finish, and packs a powerful punch. Fantastic.

bwind22 09-19-2007 08:11 PM

I was finishing up Deadwood Season 3 & Weeds Season 2 and now I'm in to Heroes Season 1 so I havent had a ton of time for movies lately.

Death Proof

This was fun. Good acting, suspense and gore. It was a good road rage/revenge flick and Tarantino's dialogue was excellent. The intentional editing errors were a nice touch too. All in all, this was an enjoyable, original film.

The French Connection

haven't seen this one in years......ya gotta love the 70's cop movies. Not what you would call "politically correct". Good movie though.

I saw that recently for the first time and loved it. Friedkin has this crazy, real, gritty style that makes everything seem like dirty truth.

Commando (Director's Cut) - 8/10

AUSTIN316426808 09-20-2007 10:18 PM

Superbad

Absolute classic, Seth Rogan is really making some great movies.


Halloween

I've avoided the ''Zombie's Halloween a disappointment'' in order to dodge spoilers but I'm heading to it right now to see what the fuss is about. I thought it was really good, definately better than the last 6 and imo the endings to this and the original are neck and neck, I was debating about the whole way home. Anyway, I thought it was really good and entertaining.

God I hate Paul Anderson.... He's what Uwe Boll would be if his movies sucked a little less.

I just can't wait until October, so I'm starting my Halloweenathon sooner rather than later. My plan is to watch a shitload of horror films - and nothing else. Not a single movie outside the genre.

Tonight,
1408 - The Director's Cut
Black Sheep
Shroom
Hatchet
The Murder Game
Dread

I liked the Condemned a lot (probably helped by the premiere atmosphere) and I don't expect the remake of Battle Royale to be as good a representation of of BR as interpreted by Hollywood.

Does Stone Cold win?

The Sixth Sense

Stupid movie made me cry

1408: Director's Cut
Visually stunning. Some effective scares and scenes (most notably, the shaft-chaser, and the daughter-to-ashes.) And hey, I love the song "We've Only Just Begun". The countdown was effective, etc. Basically, everything scare-wise and visually was near perfect. Cusack was a let down in some aspects, his acting wasn't so stupendous as many would have you believe. For example, his 'shocked' look during the scene in which the post office is torn down was just ludicrous. I was told there was a mind-bending, amazing twist - but I must have missed it. Not a fan of Stephen King, so maybe it's why I didn't like the movie THAT much. It certainly isn't bad, but I wouldn't watch it again.

bwind22 09-21-2007 03:18 PM

Videodrome

While the gore and FX were cool and the acting was top notch, I was confused with the plot of this movie. I don't know if I missed something, was tired or the movie wasn't supposed to make sense but after it ended, I was left scratching my head and wondering "What?"

It was cool, but not the best I've seen from Cronenberg.

I felt the same way.....I think I gave it an 8/10 a few pages back. The reason for the high score was most likely I was expecting shit.
