i saw 1/2 of The Haunting (the origional) and i had to go to bed ..
I'll watch the 2nd half tonight.

interesting to see the origional characters as i had only seen the remake up to now..
Zeta-Jones was a natural .. as were most of the cast.
Not sure why they turned Russ Tamblin into a surfer dude a la the Wilson boy..

Young Frankenstein

The Orginal was great...I liked the remake too, Liam Neeson is great. The House, used in the movie, (orginal) is a Hotel/Inn/B&B whatever you choose to call it. However they don't promote the fact that it was used in the Horror movie on their website.

I watched A Clockwork Orange, and Duel last night. Although I'd seen these both before on a couple of occasions, they are both great films.

The Tenant would round off your evening nicely

I picked up Malevolence on my way home, and I shall watch it.....just as soon as this fucking American Idol goes off. I will give my views on it later.

just got meet the fockers its fucking hilliarious!!!!!!:D

GoodFellas

nice movie...

watched the rest of The Haunting.

***** small spoiler alert ********


interesting the way it was fairly effective as more of a psychological horror...
Nothing was ever seen, no FX .. it was the way the house was filmed that built up the suspense.

still .. the characters were fairly 2 dimentional, except Theo.
This is pretty typical of a lot of these older films .. the characters are handled in a very hamfisted manner... very black and white ..
(eg. the 'money guy' cares only about money - untill the last possible moment in the film ..no gradual developement)

Cool to see Lois Maxwell as something other than Moneypenny..

Most of the characters back then were two dimensional anyways...still we had some pretty decent directors and actors...but the characterisation in movies sucked...

"The church"

Surprisingly GOOD. :)

10 minutes of "Body Snatchers" that movie is boring as all shit.

Which one - the original or the remake with Donald Sutherland?

or the last version by Abel Ferrara

garden state

damn straight

The Deep

Nipples ...

Right there's your wet t-shirt you've been longing for.


damn....foiled again

So, what'd ya think of it? I saw it awhile back, thought it had some good moments, but overall wasnt that great. Your thoughts?

Shaun of The Dead

The Amityville Horror (2005)

Amazingly good. I'm sorry, but you can't put this one down. It kept the storyline, kept the classic scenes (priest-flies, babysitter-closet) and was just an overall very well made remake. I'm glad they did it, it gave me a pretty good scare, and was just a good use of $7. I recommend anyone who's not to snobby about remaking classics go see it.

P.S. I'm not an easy pleaser as far as remakes go. I hated the TCM remake. But this one truly is good.

awol - i'm not proud but it was on :p

enjoyed it, pretty good conspiracy/espionage thriller. Kilmer was the right actor for the part... suited his style. The director went into more detail during particular scenes, where different twists in the story line unfolded, moreso than most other films of this type.

i liked it too ..
it came a little close to the edge of being too weak but Kilmer saved it.

Just finished watching "Madhouse". Definatly a great movie, although it starts off pretty slow. The ending was great though....really great!

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Drop dead gorgeous film .. every frame.
I loved it.

C.H.U.D.......right now...
