Die Hard 2- 7/10

Severance. I was really looking forward to this movie... and I felt really let down. It had the potential to be a really enjoyable and fun flick, but it was extremely weak. There were a few moments of decent suspense and action, but it just wasn't sufficient enough to save the film. A mediocre attempt at comedy horror that could have been much better.

5/10

The Descent

First time since I saw it at the cinema.. I still really like it, I picked up on the score more this time, I dug the 80's John Carpenter style bass line that came in when Sarah met up with Juno towards the end...

It really wasn't all that funny. Some parts were alright but its a dumb funny kind of movie.

I have to disagree 100%

I found it to be amazingly funny and smart as hell. The satire is non-stop and the depth of comedy in every frame is so intense that it takes repeated viewings to catch it all.

Mark me, this will be heralded as a work of genius in 5 years... about as long as it took for Office Space to have an impact.

8.5/10

One of the most significantly brilliant war movies of all time. Bruno Ganz remarkably portrayed the role of greatest villain in history.

It is fascinating and it strongly holds my attention for its very long running time without delivering much dramatic conclusion in the end. It had a way of making you feel sorry for certain characters. One of which was to watch how the children of Joseph and Magda Goebbels were killed. Overall, the script was great with beautiful cinematography.

"you mean like from the toilet?"

I agree with this statement 100%

I forget why I ended up watching it when it came out but after I did I told everyone I knew to see it. I've seen it about 5 times now I think...

Yes, I've heard all about that particular scene and how chilling it was to watch. Really gonna have to get this one. Thanks.

When I first saw it I was expecting a balls to the wall action flick. Needless to say it didn't turn out to be what I expected but I think that was a good thing.

It was nice enough to look at I guess.....but some of the casting was just awful, and mostly I was just bored.

Snakes on a Plane ~ pretty much what I was expecting, but it did take itself a bit more seriously than I thought it would. And a bit more seriously than it should have. :rolleyes:

You've been brain washed.
Hollywood has been slick and glossy with a big bang at the end for decades that this is what you expect.

You have to rewatch it when you have been in a quiet mind for awhile and not much TV and movies for about a week.
This film is very noirish, so watch an old Hitchcock black and white to get into the groove. (Cat People the original would be another one that has the same pacing.)
Trust me, it will make a difference:)

No, no I don't think so.....;) I'm glad you liked it, but the characters weren't the least bit interesting to me, and neither were the performances. And the ONLY interesting part of the film, the murder of Elizabeth Short, seemed incidental to the plot. Other films have done it much better, if I am in the mood for film noir, I will stick to The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, etc....films with characters that actually do draw me in, and keep me interested.

Stir of echoes 2: the homecoming

Would have been better than the first possibly if it wasn't for Rob Lowe not being able to act. :( you let me down, sodapop... I always naturally assumed you were a good actor. Still good and definitely worth renting.
