Diary of the Dead
|
Hank and Mike
Best comedy I've seen in quite some time. Really original, offbeat and dark humoured. Wish there were more like this instead of the dick n' fart jokes that turns into a romantic comedy deal that dominates the genre. |

Slaughter House 5 .........first time watching it....a bit fucked up but I couldn't stop watching.
The New Kids------a bit dated but not a bad watch. James Spader made one of the best villains ....a real prick. |
Ginger Snaps 2- i love how such a dark movie has such a cutesy title. Better than the first, which i enjoyed immensely. Ashe.

Just got done watching Last House on the Left remake. Fucking awesome. Sure beats Halloween and Friday the 13th remake like whoa. Everyone should see it. ;)

Audition. Pretty rugged. i was actually expecting it to be more sick-n-twiztid.
***Spoiler alert*** i loved how she'd say "deeper deeper." That may just haunt me for years. Ashe. d |
"Monsters vs Aliens"
Great movie. Wonderful animation and a fun story that pays tribute to many of the great 1950's and '60's sci-fi and monster movies. |
The Toy .

Very well NE! Evil Breed American students on a school trip to Ireland encounter some local cannibalistic mutants. Yup, sounds stupid but its actually not too bad with a couple of decent set pieces and performances. Worth a watch if you're not too busy. |

the uncanny transporter 3 C.H.U.D. |
La Haine(Hate) (1995) - 9/10.
Gritty, and bleak as hell. Fantastic cinematography, directing, and acting. Definetly see it if you get a chance. |
Night Must Fall (1964)It's not horror, NE.
Albert Finney saves this movie...actually, to be honest, his spellbinding performance is the only thing that saves this from being a complete waste of time. The script is barely coherent and has no semblance of suspense or tension and the supporting cast is equally dull, with the possible exception of Mona Washbourne. Finney's portrayal of the charismatic psychopath is technically a bit over-the-top, but in such drab surroundings he grabs your attention immediately and I was very impressed. Anyone seen the original, with Robert Montgomery? This seemed o have some potential, I'd kind of like to check that version out if it's worthwhile... |
The Choke
A below average teen slasher flick. A young band is locked in a nightcub and are stalked and picked off by a mysterious killer (the usual stuff). The acting is perfectly capable but the story is weak as piss, it just doesnt make any sort of sense. The killings are tame (to say the least) and the twist at the end is about as convoluted as a rulers edge. I wouldnt waste your time one this one. |

Lone Wolf McQuaid
awesome, chuck norris vs. david carradine eXistenZ another really awesome surreal film from David Cronenberg, this one is quite a mind bender, i highly recommend it. The Omega Man Rocky (1st time seeing it) |

eXistenZ another really awesome surreal film from David Cronenberg, this one is quite a mind bender, i highly recommend it.(1st time seeing it)[/QUOTE] For some reason I really didn't get into eXistenZ despite (then)being a big Cronenberg fan. I always felt it like a weak version of Videodrome (though the Story is very deifferent there is a lot of similar elements) . I haven't seen eXistenZ since it came out though and i think i might give it another go... |
Lolita
They have been showing all Kubrick movies at the Filmhouse this past month, So yesterday was my girlfriends birthday. I have been showing her Kubrick movies all the time we were together, I don't think she had seen any before. This was the first time she had seen it and the first time I had in about 12 years. I had forgotten how comedic it was. Also very dark and disturbing underneath. It's also visualy very pleasent. 8/10 |
The Prophecy- i thought i had seen this one, but was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. C. Walken's dark sense of humor was great, as were his side kicks. i thought that Viggo's perfomance was rather well done as well. Overall a pretty good flick. Ashe.

Nightmare City
Wow, Crazy zombies who are running around with knifes and guns slaughtering everyone. Some big cheese included. Pretty good b grade trash to go along with a Sunday afternoon and a few beers. 7/10 |

Space adventure: Cobra Had seen pictures of this for a long time, came across the vcr for 50c and thought I'd check it out. Strange, very strange...bit similar to cowboy bebop with a lot more weird happening. I may check out the series that came before it now. Punisher: Warzone This is coming from someone who follows the various comic series - while this film is not a thing of greatness and won't be winning any awards for the script, it was actually far closer to the Punisher comic than anything thus far has been. I enjoyed it, moderately. It was fun. |
Monsters vs. Aliens
Apparently I thought this movie was much funnier than anyone else in the theater...I laughed so hard I peed my pants. 10 out of 10 |
Blood Diner
A silly, trashy, over the top, dumb horror comedy intended as an homage/send up of HG Lewis films. If you let yourself go and just revel in its outrageousness and awfulness you can have a good time. Excellent soundtrack too. Currently on Fearnet- if you like this sort of thing, give it a go. |

Shadow of the Vampire. This came highly recommended, but i was pretty disappointed. i was not only bored, but what the characters were acting out and how they responded to various situations was completely unbelievable (the acting itself was fine). Unless there was some cryptic theme that i missed, which is very possible, i could not reccomend this movie to anyone. But that's just me. Ashe.

Bio-dome ... my kid thinks paulie shore is funny. cant say that i do.
Joey Lauren Adams was sexy as hell though Kitaro - another yokai legend story that was a lot of fun. felt very 'stephen chow-ish' fun creature effects. |
Eden Lake
It was eh. Slow to get started and little frustrating to watch as I thought the people who were being terrorized were a little too wimpy. I think I wanted them to fight back more. Nicely shot though. |
Wendy and Lucy
Not one to watch if your dog has just died or ran away. or maybe it is. I thought it was o.k, not a lot really happened though, and the ending didn't make a lot of sense to me. But hey, it's arthouse, that's what you get. 5/10 |
