Hot Fuzz

Hahahah...I actually enjoyed this one more than Shaun of the Dead, to be honest. Shaun was great, but the separation between horror and comedy was too clean cut - it was always either funny or scary, rarely a mix. The balance here between spoof and serious was a lot more even, and far funnier.

It did suffer one of the same problem as Shaun of the Dead though: it was about 15-20 minutes too long. Some editing would have done them well.

I cant wait to see what else these guys are up to...is Spaced worth checking out?


Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)

Wow...I dont think I've seen Fredric March in anything else, but he just blew my mind. A truly fantastic performance in both roles, one of the best that I've seen from that era. Absolutely brilliant - deserved the Oscar for sure.

For sure.

Bump it to the top of the pile, and watch it after dinner with some beer. You ll love it.

Now maybe you should watch the first one with fresh eyes and an open mind...

Opera (1987)

Yeah, yeah....hey, I watched Clockwork Orange yesterday and I've got Raging Bull lined up for this afternoon - think you can lay off 'a me for a bit?

;) :p

I Spit on your grave: It was as shocking as advertised. The ending is definitely raises the movie's stock. I liked this movie a lot. 7.5/10

Night of the Demons : Not a bad 80s horror movie. Cheesy but in a good way. A very fun flick overall. 6.5/10.

Yes, actually, I can. You are watching some fantastic movies.
Did you pick up TFC yet?!

Not yet - what's the sequel like?

I've only been able to find a boxset with the two of them...are they both worth watching, or just the first?

I watched Brainscan,i had heard about it and finally gave it a go.I thought it was crap!

The sequel is alright. A lot of people really dig it, and it's fresh on RottenTomatoes.com, but I really think they should hav left the first one the way it was. When you see it, you'll know why.

If you can't find anything but the boxset, though, it wouldn't be the worst investment you could make.

I'll never forget the glare the video store clerk gave my friend and I when we rented this, 10 years ago. Judgemental new age bitch...


Anyway, I spent most of the movie bored and sickened, but the end was great. The slow guy sounded like a squeeky bed, which was unintentionally hilarious

and i couldnt stop laughing at "IT WONT STOP BLEEDING!"


The premise of the second half is pretty funny. "you raped me a couple of times, so i figured i'd give it up the third time. Im actually starting to like this"

I guess the antagonists have to be stupid for it to work, but damn.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno

The movie was hilarious and sweet and all that put into one. I really liked it and recommend it to anyone who is a Kevin Smith or Seth Rogen fan or even someone who enjoys vulgar comedies mixed with romantic comedies.

4/5

Along Came Polly.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing for most of the last half hour like "How stupid can these 4 bastards be? That bathtub scene made me wince too. It was so quick and swift. Yuck.

Down
 

Watched The Descent, Ruins, 28 Weeks Later, and The Mist backtoback in a session.

In a series of downer ending movies i think The Mist wins the award...

Well, ther eis a built in lesson:

Wait another 5 godamn minutes!

Pupetmaster V Demonic Toys

Pretty chessy, pretty terrible as well, but it did make me realise Christmas is near.

Alligator and Alligator II: The Mutation back to back.

Bram Stoker's The Mummy (1997)

I saw it. I enjoyed it. Better than that "Never Back Down" crap.

Last saw:
Maniac 8/10
Eden Lake 8/10

In The Bedroom

Slow movie but the end is worth the wait. ;)

The Ninth Gate.
Started off so well but the climax was a let-down.

ROOM 205

Nothing new here.....bad dubbing

The Great Yokai War by Miike. Cool kids movie with lots of bizarre creatures.

A Clockwork Orange. Had to watch it after all of the great things I heard about it. Definitely on of the best movies I've seen. The visuals in that one still look great even 38 years later. 9.75/10

Ginger Snaps and Wrong Turn 2

Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)

I love this movie. My favorite Woody Allen piece.

Dead Space - Downfall

A pretty good horror cartoon, plenty of blood
Sets things up nicely for the video game

Was Maniac the 1980's version?

Yes. They made another one way back in the 30s but I haven't seen that one. You should check out this one. It's a slasher movie but way more twisted. I'm trying to watch more and more from HDC's gorrific, shocking, disturbing list. I've seen about 13 now.

Total acid trip. Really, really strange movie...it's pretty good in it's own little way, but it makes no sense at all.

If you like movies from that era I recommend it for sure, just because it's so different than anything else I've seen from that time period.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Yep, that was the shit...weird effects, not a bad storyline at all for what it was...it was like a "live" action version of something that might come out've studio gibli. atmospheric and strange as all hell...Bit of a depressing end I thought, but yeah, this one's on my list.

For Your Consideration

Not as funny as Best in Show, but it's Christopher Guest, so it's still funnier than most satires/comedies out there, imo. Fred Willard's fauxhawk on it's own is just pure genius.

I can't find that movie anywhere except horrorsource.com as a rental and deepdiscount.com to buy for $13.48. I looked at Half.com but the cheapest one "may have scratches" on it. :rolleyes:

I've watched at least 2 from that list.

Re: The Mist end

lol -- Right on!

Un Chien Andalou (1929)

L'Age D'Or (1930)

you seem to have something stuck in your throat.....we can't understand you.

That was a good one. :D

Oh and saw

Murder Set Pieces : 3/10 (crazy gore but a plot would have been nice)
