Watched it yesterday. Haven't heard about it until I read your review.
Than I saw the cast and the R-rating so I gave it a go.
It's not bad. And quite original. Something I can always appreciate.
But some jokes just don't work imo.
Spoiler "The scenes where they keep repeating stuff were just dumb because of the context. Stuff like that only works in a silly Family Guy-like situation.
I think the whole movie would've worked better if they really took the Airplane/Naked Gun route all the way."
Still worth the watch.

The Expendables: World War Z

No, haven't seen it. Is it a lot better? I might give a dubbed version a try.

Expendables Vs. Zombies would be good... except all those dudes become zombie versions of their strangest film characters - Arnold changes into the Terminator, Stallone into Rocky, Dolph into a cyborg, etc.

Oldboy is definitely a fun movie to watch, but it's damn bloody.

Don't trust everything you hear. I hated Oldboy and i really don't understand all the praise for it

It's always nice to try new things, so, considering all of its praise, I think it'd be good for him to give it a shot to see if he likes it or not.

Not everyone can relate to this, nor appreciate it. Quite frankly, it's a superb effort, helped immensely with some fantastic performances. The title is misleading, yes, but by the end you are left to wonder if it isn't a perfect fit.

Unsettling, disturbing or simply touching in it's absolute grief - watch and decide for yourself.

Hostel (2005)
 

3.5/5

Hostel is gruesome, disturbing, intense, gory, inventive, and entertaining. The movie has a 70's style to it, and it never takes itself totally seriously. The film is also well-acted and shot. The first thirty to forty minutes are just filler and is pretty much a sex comedy (which somewhat works because it lulls you into a false sense of security... sorta like Hard Candy), but once the blood starts pouring down the screen, it's intense and entertaining.

Personally, I enjoyed the movie. I found it to be sad but it had enough interest to keep me watching.

Not bad for a romantic comedy. Had some laughs and it wasn't boring.

I love, love, love Peter Jackson's work!! The LOTR and The Hobbit movies are my favorite series ever!! I lost count on how many times I have watched them!! I hope to see more of his work!! ::big grin::

This is another movie that I can watch over and over. There just wasn't much that I didn't enjoy with this one.

Shame. It started so promisingly for a low-brow effort, but by the time the second half comes in, the film falls flat on it's face. And that ridiculous ending!

* *



The film starts off with an absolute sucker-punch of a brutal scene. Slow-paced with quite a few surprising Hitchcock-ian turns. You can never judge people by how they talk & behave, that's for sure. And the film has so much grief that between this one and The Truth About Emanuel, I need some serious cheering up. Going back to my Hammer classics just for some much-needed air.

Oh by the way, it's recommended to pretty much every one who doesn't mind a slow-pacer riddled with twists which will boggle your mind until the very end.

7/10

Aw lawd I can't stand any of the Halloween sequels.

Non-stop thrills, non-stop suspense.

Recommended.

Haha - Yeah; I agree on the humor; some is brilliant; some is just plain stupid; but the pace is so fast that when a joke doesn't hit, you're onto the next one.

Have you seen "Wet, Hot, American Summer"? Same writers. Uneven but funny.

I watched it a couple of months ago.
Don't remember that much. I think it was just ok but mainly because of the cast.

I'll have to check this film out. Looks right up my alley.

Want to see a cheer-up movie? Watch Yellow Submarine.

Martyrs, 2008. 8/10

I can see why some people dont like the sequels but ive loved them all since i was a kid so i love them (although im not too keen on the cameras in the house one with the rappers in it)


Hadnt even heard of Circus of the Dead, its on my list to watch now cheers!! Martyrs is brilliant film as well, have you seen Inside? (another French horror)

Yes! I have and I love it.

Circus of the Dead is an indie film out of Texas. It's by director Billy Pon and will get a November DVD release if all goes well. It is an amazing film and Bill Oberst Jr. is outstanding as Papa Corn.

Where did you get to see it?

I know Billy Pon on face book, I messaged him and asked for a screener..I saw that several others had seen it already... and he obliged and sent it to me.

I'm also involved in the underground/indie horror scene : )

Reincarnation

Pontypool (2009)
 

9/10

Woah, was this one crazy movie! It's a zombie movie... and I don't wanna spoil anything else. The way the virus is transmitted is clever and really disturbing, and the entire film takes place within a radio station, so we mostly hear the effects of the virus through phone calls, but the effects are actually shown firsthand. It's really well-acted, funny, clever, intense, and new. Think 28 Days Later if it was written by a linguist.

From Dusk Till Dawn

Been a while since I've seen this one. And I almost forgot how great it is.
Great cast and characters, good storyline, action, humour, gore,...
Freakin' classic!

First time I noticed Cheech Marin played 3 parts.

Excellent - I look forward to seeing it.

Good to see another VanBebber fan here...

CLOVERFIELD (2008). Don't really care for "cam-movies" like THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT/PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, but after a slow beginning and one annoying son of a bitch, this picks up and is pretty darn good. The destruction footage and locale reminded me too much of 9/11. ***

Road Kill / Road Train (MILD SPOILERS) -

Someone here reviewed this recently and I'm fairly certain gave it a bad review. But they mentioned pointless sex scene and I searched for it on IMDB anyway. Go figure.

I saw Sophie Lowe in it, the actress who was in that cancelled Once Upon a Time spinoff. Georgina Haig who was in Fringe, is going to be in Once Upon a Time this coming season, and is a pretty blonde girl. And Bob Morley, the bad but some times good guy in The 100. I figured why not? What a mistake. This is a horrible movie and I fell asleep halfway in it was so stupid. I watched the second half the next night. I wanted to like Georgina Haig's character just because she's pretty. But she plays such a bad character. Why the whole group are even friends is beyond me. I can see how Bob Morley got the role in The 100, it's kind of close to his role in this movie. He cheats with his friend's girlfriend, Georgina Haig's character. For some reason, the friend forgives him which no guy would do. I would get upset if my friend drank out of my glass, forget sleeping with my girlfriend. Yet this friend in the movie doesn't really forgive Georgina Haig even though they are still I guess together. Even stranded in the middle of the desert this guy pores out all her water. So if he has that level of hated why even pretend to be together? And of course even though Georgina Haig's character acts upset about cheating, what she really wants is to be with the guy she cheated with. Which we can sort of see in the opening. But she slips and says it near the end in case we missed it. Not that it even matters as the whole thing is just a bad soap opera with below average people in a horror format.

Yes this is supposed to be a horror movie. Yet it's not scary and doesn't even come close to being in the same league as Duel. All it does is show how talented Steven Spielberg was at an early age compared to the people that made this garbage. It's one thing to have a demon truck. But for some reason there is a house where I guess the demon truck sometimes parks at, unloads its blood fuel, and cans it for unsuspecting visitors. Georgina Haig's character stumbles on to it. That was when I fell asleep the first time watching the movie. The idea of a demon truck itself isn't bad either. It could be really scary. I'm getting good ideas now. But this movie is so far away from good it's not even funny.

Notice how I don't remember the names of any of the characters in the movie. They just didn't matter. The only thing I got out of this movie is that Australian roads are I guess vacant once you leave the cities. And that large trailers are called "Road Trains" over there. Which is the movie's alternate title. Avoid at all costs.





If you went for the poster you got what you deserved. The movie itself was shockingly bad. Especially with some of the supporting actors and others involved.


I'm going to check out The Caller. It's probably on my list since Rachelle Lefevre is in it and it's horror.

I'm interested to hear what you think

I had this movie lying around for a couple of years but this was the first time I saw it. Even though it's a horror comedy, the horror element was certainly present for me, since I have bit of a thing when it comes to bugs.
Anyway, it was a pretty good horror comedy.
The acting is better than average, special effects are alright, movie has a nice pace, story's good enough,...
Accordinding to Wiki it was supposed to be the first part in a trilogy but I think those plans are cancelled. Too bad...

Red 2

Hilarious action film, very enjoyable and fast paced... and Malkovich was brilliant and wow Mary-Louise Parker is hot

Fascinating premise but missing the wow factor. A tad too slow for my taste as well. Good to see all the oldies together (except for Damon, he never grows old does he?), but as it stands, it could have been better, considering that the subject is a real orgasmic one for art lovers.

Father & son in a Back To The Future scenario together! Problem wasn't with the obvious low-brow effort, but with the actors and the underwhelming sequences. The child of The Sixth Sense and A.I. was much better than the man now.

Fubar (2002)


Fun fake documentary.
I'm sure some people will find this annoying but I can appreciate the silly, stupid humour.
Also helps if you like hard rock/heavy metal.

Baron, if you liked "Fubar", you might enjoy "American Movie" 1999. It follows slacker Mark Borchardt's arduous attempt at filming an indie horror film.
I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Can't find a download.
Netflix is coming over here next year. Maybe they'll have it.
But thanks for the tip! Didn't know that movie.

Fubar 2 (2010)

Similar to the first one but this has more of a storyline and a better pace.
