yeah i was impressed by that scene as well

Rock N' Roll Highschool

My Sweet Satan

Jim Van Bebber rules! He is an artist and a true grindhouse master and this short film shows off his acting, directing and gore effects.
8/10

Sounds like one which would be right up my alley.

Thanks, J...I ll get hold of this asap and get back to you.

No Country For Old Men

"Aliens vs predator - requiem" 5/10

I fail to see how this is much better than the first one.

Guess i'm just not a big vs fan.

Shoot Em' Up

I have watched this one atleast a half dozen times since it's release on DVD and it just keeps getting better and better each view. I have been showing it to my friends and family who haven't seen it. Last night I showed my brother Dennis and he was loving every minute of it. If you haven't seen it yet please check it out....It is such a fun over the top mindless action flick that you will not regret watching it.

8/10

A Few Good Men.


There's nothing like getting goosebumps and feeling blown away by the commanding screen presence of a powerful actor. That too when giving a movie at least the 9th or 10th viewing.

Nicholson as Jessup is like a huge cannon with his towering presence from start to finish, especially in the power-punch filled climactic courtroom sequence. So good is he, that poor Tom Cruise is reduced to a second-lead even after giving such a good performance (for a change).

The rest of the cast - Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland - round up superbly, and J.T.Walsh as Markinson is THE MOST powerful underlying character in the history of cinema (and scripts), IMO.

A must-watch for anyone who hasn't seen this yet. If you weren't impressed by this movie, you need to see a shrink asap.


Rating - * * * * ½

The scene where Nicholson finally cracks is amazing. Maybe Reiner's best- though Misery is great too.

ROBOCOP--UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT

Holds up very well.

For sure thats a great flick. I really need to pick up that box set.

Iron Man
lots'o fun.

i heard rumor something happened post credits but didnt stick around. can someone tell me what it was?

Samuel L. Jackson says "Now I'm gettin' tired of these muthafuckin' royale with cheese on this muthafuckin' Avengers Initiative."

Ravenous
.

excellent, please do.

la passion de jeanne d'arc (the passion of joan of arc) (1928)

one of my favorite films, ever.
one of the greatest performances in film, ever.
every frame is a work of art.

The Strangers (2008)

The first half is tense and taught; it toys with the audience and gives them only enough well-calculated chills to generally startle. It's unfortunate that the last twenty minutes undo such hard work, causing the film to sink lower and lower into the depths of horror movie cliche. The final scene is embarrasingly contrived. Liv Tyler is magnetic, the real scares are icy, but ultimately this is forgettable.

Succubus: Hell Bent (2007)

Masters of Horror: John Carpenter's: Cigarette Burns

The Relic.
 

I loved the book and had great memories of the movie. However, ten years have not been kind to the movie. On my second viewing, I got so bored I went to the refrigerator. (NOTE- when I write that I went to the refrigerator in my pseudo reviews, it's bad.) I'm going through all of PRESTON and CHILD'S books and I thought it would be cool to watch their one movie adaption. Wrong. They changed so many things from the book that I became resentful and bored. It was ALIEN meets JURASSIC PARK. This is an example of why I often really don't like to watch a movie more than once. I like to keep the original impression in my mind. Often , repeat viewings ruin my pleasant memories. Anyone else have an opinion on this movie or book?

i read the book more than a year after the first time i saw the movie ( in the theater) and kept askign myself, "Why did they change this?" thew movie was a passable "trapped with a monster" movie, but the book was just great. They completely changed most of the characters, and the plot to the point that the movie bears little resemblance to the book. And they dropped the best character (the fbi agent who's name escapes me)

Pendergast
 

I'm reading another in the Pendergast series:BRIMSTONE. He's like the modern Sherlock Holmes. The novel I'm reading is about the devil murdering various people or so it seems. Great stuff!

The Naples Connection - bloody fulci crime thriller

(thanks again Z)

Damn. Now i wanna read the book.


How disappointing was the movie "the relic" compared to the movie "It" vs. the Stephen King novel?

Yes, i'm sure you've read it. ;)

I've never read the book, but I saw the movie for the first time about a year back and absolutely loved it...was throughly entertained from start to finish.

Probably one of the most fun modern "monster" movies that I've seen, IMO.

Spiderman 2 with commentary.

The Mist

Django (for the 1st time ever)

Shaun of the Dead

Machine Girl

lets see...

hot Asian chick in schoolgirl outfit...check

over-the top gore a la "Brain Dead"...check

mindless fun to be had...check



did I mention "machine gun hand".....oh and a "drill bra" makes an appearance.

I have this sitting right here waiting for a party I'm having from Thursday night until Saturday morning...

Sounds like I'll like it. :)

thoughts?
it wasnt as good as i expected, but it was fun.
did you buy the DVD with "The Last Pistolero" in it?
The Last Pistolero is phenomonal.

added to list of must sees - check.

Vault of Horror (1973)

Mildly entertaining anthology sequel to Tales From the Crypt.

If by the month or two this movie wouldn't come out at our local dvd stores then I'm surely going to order it on e-bay! I have seen the trailer...drill bra...finger cakes....there are some really cool stuffs in the movie!:)

Haute Tension

excellent movie- very well directed and full of suspense... but there's one big fat red herring in the beginning that pisses me off.

pretty much how i felt ..

i enjoyed it - but it fell a bit short of all the hype i've been hearing.

that other movie wasnt on the version i have.

its just a b&w short film with Franco Nero and Morriconeish music in it with Leone style directing, but its really well done.

watch it.

I have been waiting for this film quite some time. Thanks for reminding me it FINALLY came out!

*adds to netflix queue*

...

*moves to very top of queue*

Oh, boo. It has a "Long Wait." Hrmph.

you can buy it on amazon for $12.99. i'm sure it's worth the money. i'll probably do that myself.
