Shiloh 2


We liked the first one, it was cute, this one was a piece of garbage.

Or even when you're bored.

yeah, it was pretty great.
i'm going back today to watch carnival of souls.

À bout de souffle (breathless) (1960)

last seen movie
 

Watched Progeny yesterday. Made by the people who made Re-Animator (co-produced by Stuart Gordon who also helped with the story) its a tale of alien abduction/seduction and the hopelessness of trying to fight other planet people. More sf than horror its easily enjoyable by both fan bases. Wouldn't pay a lot of money for it. Fortunately I found a used VHS for a buck at a pawnshop.

-The Last Temptation Of Christ.
-On The Waterfront.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

The "Dracula Puppet Musical" was awesome!

>>: B


The Seventh Seal (1957)

>>: A-

Amelie
Tales from the Crypt
Butterfly Effect

I never get a chance to watch movies, and now I have stuff to do so I procrastinate with a movie day.

Caught the Willard remake on TV for the first time last night. Really enjoyed it. Have no idea why I hadn't checked it out before.

30 Days of Night

The Thing

.45

Beneath ~ I really, REALLY disliked this movie and I am not even sure why, yes, it was mostly predictable and dull, in my opinion, but I have seen far worse, and been bugged less. Must have been my mood.

Resident Evil: Extinction ~ actually liked it quite a bit better than the other two, nothing outstanding, but I had fun. Can't expect much more than that.

Metropolis (1927).

Original.
Yeah it was a bit predictable, but fun and enjoyable nevertheless. Good film to watch when you are bored and need quite a bit of entertainment.
I won't bother with the remake that's for sure.


Last one - The Dark.

hmm - i picked this up (cheap) after maggie mentioned liking it.

i'll have to watch it and provide the tie breaker opinion

almost forgot :

Excalibur. hadn't seen it in quite a while - watched the HD-DVD last night.

i still really enjoy ALL the performances - especially Nicol Williamson's Merlin
but the film is in serious need of remixing - the sound is off in a lot of scenes and the bachground music needs to be readjusted and brought up in several places.

maybe some tighter editing in some spots as well. (and better Lady in the Lake special effects)


but still a fun movie ...

one of my favorites

Arahan.
It would have been better if it didn't fall flat in the middle. Too much slapstick would be my complaint.

IRONMAN---Just as much fun at home

Forgettting Sarah Marshall--alright....another comedy thats just not as funny as all the hype wants you to believe.

Donnie Darko: Director's cut and Bubbleboy

It was the weekend of Jake Gyllenhall. For as stupid as Bubble Boy is, I dont think it would have been nearly as good if a lesser actor had been in the lead role. And Swoozie Kurtz is godamn hilarious...

"Well, I'll keep you in my prayers tongiht... I'll be praying you get nut cancer!"

I would be interested to hear what you think, I know I hated it far more than it deserved. My husband wasn't exactly impressed either, but he didn't dislike it as much as I did. I think he just thought it was pretty forgettable.

Anyway, I am watching Rounders right now.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

2nd time.

>>: B+

Mallrats with commentary.

The French Connection (1971)

Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Peter Weir is a master of symbolism.

Miss Petigrew Lives For A Day

Surprisingly sweet and fun, This novel adaptaion feels like the best kind of old-time screwball comedy. Frances McDormand is great (as ususal) and Amy Adams is incadescent. If you are a guy with a theater-loving girlfriend, this film will make both of you happy.

If all you want is horror, steer clear.

8/10

Full Metal Yakuza.
For the most part, a low budget Robocop rip-off. Again, the plot becomes thin from middle onwards. Not much action either as the title would suggest.

John Carpenters Vampires


6/10

The Fugitive ... been ages since i saw this last... still kind of fun thanks to a fairly rich supporting cast.

Samurai Cop (1989)

Hysterical. I don't usually recommend trash unless it's the golden goose, and here it is.

Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

Right up there among Argento's greatest giallos.

The Children (1980)

Eh...not bad. The premise gets old fast, but it's got a surprisingly shocking ending.

Mirrors - Could have been decent if not for the last hour or so...

Saw 4- 5/10

Wasted potential. Good kills but that was about it. I watch these for the twist shocker endings... This one failed in a plothole filled stinkfest.

I've been wanting to check out Samurai Cop for awhile now heard its gold from a couple of people now.

Don't Torture A Duckling is one of the many Fulci flicks I need to check out. What version have you got?

Midnight Meat Train

It's free on comcast demand this month, good story, gore and gore...Liked it alot and recommend it to horror fans


Brainscan,
horrible acting...Never seen this before and just wanted to check it out...Won't make this mistake again

An American Nightmare
Excellent documentary! Thanks for the rec. Speaks on the historical significance of a lot of horror films, such as Dawn of the Dead (consumerism), Shivers (sexual revolution), Last House on the Left (it's not ONLY a movie...) and so on. Really great interviews, especially with Savini.

Sick Girl
An alright installment in the MOH series. I'm a big fan of Angela Bettis and Lucky McKee. I just thought it could use a much darker tone. I was expecting a female version of Bugcrush.

Home Sick
See it. Now.

Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film
My must-see list has gotten much larger. UGH, one thing I hated about this? THEY GODDAMN SPOILED the twist endings to almost EVERY SINGLE MOVIE they talked about. I really enjoyed the interviews with the creator of Slumber Party Massacre, and the actress who played Angela in Sleepaway Camp.

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer
People say it's like The Evil Dead. I can see the connections, but it's totally not as fun. The only real action takes place an hour into the film, and while it's non-stop from there, it still doesn't reach Evil Dead status. I don't think Jack Brooks compares to Ash, either. Still a good watch. It's not GORY, persay, since most of the liquids are green goblin ooze, not blood.

Bloody Murder
Wow, what a rip-off of Friday the 13th. Shameless, too. They don't even try and pretend F13 never happened. And one of the characters TRIES to be self-aware, ala Scream, but it's just a bad attempt. The acting is horrific, as is the camera work and sound... VERY much like a softcore production on late night cable. Seriously. I think that's the nail-on-the-head. Softcore without sex.

You'll love it. It's like Deep Red meets I Walked With a Zombie.
I watched the Blue Underground version. I believe it was fully uncut- an hour and forty minutes.

Anyway, check both those babies out.

Hybrid (2007)

100 Feet (2008)

http://www.horroria.com/i/nposters/09/59/95941-4S.jpg

The effects of the ghost were pretty lame, I think now this type of effects can't even work for the kids also. Otherwise it's a watchable malevolent ghost story.

>>: C+

I agree. I admit I am not a huge Fulci fan, but actually really loved this movie. I think its Fulci's best, from what I have seen.

Watched Lep in the hood eariler.

Monkey Business

Great comedy, you know it's going to be silly from the very beginning.

Elvira Mistress of the dark


5/10



Invasion of the body snatchers (56)


8.5/10



Dial M for Murder

***Possible Spoilers***

The first time I have seen this classic, and I loved the first half, the build up of the plot, the 20 minute scene where the blackmail took place etc..

But the ending where the detective comes back into the apartment, the music was horendous and it just turned into a mess.


6.5/10
