The ones I had already seen....
The Stepford Wives (original) ~ still oh so creepy. I have zero interest in the remake. Deathwatch Tommy Boy What I hadn't seen.... Black Sheep ~ lots of fun! Shadows of the Dead ~ boring, very boring. About as much fun as staring at a wall for an hour and a half. Mr. Jingles ~ terrible doesn't even describe it....but I was drinking tequila, and that made it hilarious. Jekyll + Hyde ~ better than I expected it to be, which isn't saying much. Its not terrible exactly, just forgettable. And its been done many times, and been done so much better that it makes this just a waste of time. Dark Remains ~ I actually enjoyed this one for the most part, had its problems but its not bad. |

"Atonement" 7/10
What a sad movie. :( Excellent performances from all lead actors/actresses, especially James McAvoy. I will keep an eye on him in the future. |

The Driver (1978) Don't know if it's been remade.

Cloverfield- 8/10
That was insane. That was... absolutely insane. Everyone in that theater was screaming, and I loved every second of it. Great monster, great flow. Awesome stuff. I don't want to spoil any of it, and since it's really easy to give a lot of it away, i'll stop with "go see it now" |

Fortunato said it best. Cloverfield This will be the first film I make a fan-cut for. SPOILER I thought the film should have ended right after their getaway aircraft is attacked. Once they hit the ground, and that static image is displayed for two minutes. It should have then cut directly to the Coney Island scene... omitting that terrible final segment. Showing the creature head-on like that was a poor move, especially since it didn't look that realistic. The part where the two characters introduce themselves to the camera was also un-needed. Otherwise, it was an amazing ride. Very well done... go see it in theatres! --- After getting back from Cloverfield, I have a hankering to watch Curse of the Blair Witch... a 45 minute mockumentary about the Blair Witch herself. Just discovered it on my DVD... :) I might end up watching the movie itself, too. |

Juno... God, I really didn't want to see it, and it turned out totally different than I thought it would. But god, I have to say.... the movie was great. I didn't find anything wrong with the movie. Infact I may go back and watch it again this weekend. Also, the music, was great, even if I would probably never listen to them outside of the movie. Cloverfield, best freaking monster movie in a long time. I liked the way they did it. Focusing on the people instead of the monster, which made the monster just that more awesome. The monster I didn't find it too realistic, but its a freaking movie, and its a giant monster than can take a freaking missle like nerf ball, so its not a big deal that it wasn't, oh lets say a giant fire breathing dinosaur. Because you know thats totally gonna happen. I infact liked it more because it was original, though it did kinda remind me of something from another movie, but I can't think of the title.

The Blood Rose (1970)
French film about a famous painter whose wife is horribly disfigured in a fire. He tells the world she is dead, and becomes a recluse in his country estate. He discovers that one of the people who work in his horticultural business is an infamous plastic surgeon, struck off for a botched operation on a child. This surgeon has been performing operations for criminals to change their appearance. With this information, our protagonist attempts to blackmail this surgeon into restoring his wife's lost beauty... Interesting film, with the development of a good atmosphere. I felt a little disappointed with the ending, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. Worth a watch. |

Death Tunnel ~ I have to give those that made this film some credit.....they tried. They took this business of making a horror film very seriously. Too seriously, you might say. Its a mess really. Its muddled, the flashbacks are very annoying, and it doesn't flow well at all. They try for a lot of jump scares, and even those are not effective (this is coming from someone that is ridiculously easy to make jump during horror films). Its actually shot surprisingly well, though. I guess that is something. And the setting is great, creepy. When it first started, I really wanted to like it. :(

No Country for Old men
I enjoyed the fact that the Coen Brothers went for a more gritty feal for a change, it has been a while since the showed the dark side they do so well, leaving the humour to be dug out... Just tell me what was that story at the end, the dream, I drifted of into thought about people talking about their damn dreams! 7/10 |
Shoot Em Up 10/10 There wasn't a single thing I didn't love about the movie, the over the top action, the soundtrack, the dialogue(Ma, some of the best fucking lines i've heard in a while,) were fucking top notch. God the lactating russian hooker was great. Defiantly an awesome throwback to all the old action movies from the 80's and 90's. The fucking skydiving scene was pure gold, especially the last kill.

Godzilla (remake)- 2/10
I hate this movie. I don't know why I own it. It's absolutely horrible in every way imaginable. I wanted to see more monster stuff after Cloverfield, and this didn't even come close to cutting it. |

Cloverfield.
I must admit, after watching the rather disappointing The Host last year, I was pretty conservative about 1-18-08. And the viral marketing added to the apprehension. But boy...am I glad to have finally decided to watch it! The movie is an absolute gem in monster movies, and for once, you actually care for what the hell's happening in front of you. The whole narration of the plot is awesome (with the second person view of things adding to the whole atmosphere) and the direction is smooth as hell. The monster is actually scary...not as much from his on-screen presence but from the emotions it surges out in the viewers...and the cinematography captures its essence to a T. Its a complete entertainer, and I really loved it as much as I loved Grindhouse last year. For that alone, I give it an 08/10 |
Mr. Brooks
good performances and a fun story, but over-complicated and artificial feeling. 6.5/10 Death Sentence James Wan's best film yet. A simple, fun exploitation flick with solid directing. Over the top, unbelievable and imperfect, but this is my cup of tea 7/10 The Wizard of Gore (1970) & Scum of the Earth (1963) Last night's Grindhouse Film Fest had a doozie of a double-bill. I'm no huge fan of Herschel Gordon Lewis, but catching these films on the big screen with a rowdy, drunken audience is a good time. The films are weak. Scum of the Earth is a simple early "roughie" about a model who gets blackmailed into posing for degrading photographs...blah, blah blah, it's has some truly atrocious dialog that makes for a good laugh. The Wizard of Gore is a psychedelic freakout that makes no sense, has terrible acting and gore that is separated from being scary by the worst editing in history. I hadn't seen in in a decade and it held no new surprises. bad films, fun night WOG - 5/10 SOTE - 3/10 |
