Donnie Darko, and I tried to read The Philosophy of Time Travel extra on the DVD but the letters were too small. Gonna find it online somewhere because i was told that it makes the movie make a lot more sense.

Sisters

Loved it. The early De Palma stuff is so fucking good. Really dig the split screen stuff. The murder at the start made me jump a little... really creepy.

Pusher 3

The best of the trilogy for me... can't wait to see more from this director.

It's very apparently a TV movie, with the same lack of style you find in most, and the same range of TV actors. John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs) stars as the killer. The story is told in a straightforward manner, with none of the mind games & tricks that High Tension used, but also not nearly the level of brutality, violence, tension or gore.

As High Tension only adapted the first half of the book, it's interesting to see what else was in the book. Also worth a look if you're a McGinley fan. Other than that, only mildly interesting.

thanks for the review....I was thinking of watching that....perhaps I'll pass.

neverending 05-21-2009 08:22 PM

It's not terrible. I watched the full 3 hours.

McGinley played an allright lunatic in "surviving the game", I wouldn't mind seeing him in another role like this...and it'd be funny to like expect Cox-isms and never get 'em.
I liked Haute Tension, was high tension a remake or dub of that, I'm not sure.
I'd see this to know what more there was to the story.

You just reminded me how good the atmosphere was in that film...wish more horror was this well done.

Haute Tension/High Tension- same thing.

Dance of the Dead

A few cheap laughs. Some comic violence. It barely kept my interest.

Dude, that movie was so much fun! It's been done a thousand times, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

neverending 05-22-2009 12:52 AM

How nice for you.

The Mothman 05-22-2009 03:41 AM

One Upon a Time In America
i spent pretty much the majority of my day watching this, what a long movie. the movie itself was pretty unsettling and at times slightly disturbing, not at all what I expected from Leone, some parts really shined, others not as much, but all around i think it was a pretty damn good film, however it cant compare to any of Leone's westerns.

I wasn't too huge a fan of it either, couple good parts but otherwise it was pretty cliche.

It's one of the Masters Of Horror's right?

One of the worst if you ask me.

The_Return 05-22-2009 09:15 AM

Could be wrong, but I'd bet they're talking about the recent zombie flick of the same name:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926063/

Looks pretty lame to me.

The Masters of Horror episode wasn't TOO bad...nothing special, but Englund was entertaining as always.

neverending 05-22-2009 09:47 AM

Yah- the zombie flick everyone else here was recommending.

Somewhat true. Both were pretty weak, IMO.

Reminded by zwoti's post to revisit this. Dont care what anyone else says, I really dig this one. One of my favs from the late 80s.

mrbelle 05-22-2009 03:19 PM

just got done watching last of the living. Not that great of a movie but I enjoyed it

hacelikewhoa 05-22-2009 07:56 PM

Just watched Bram Stoker's Dracula and Eden lake (Eden Lake was in french unfortunately but still good nonetheless.)

Haunted 05-22-2009 08:06 PM

I tried to sit through Cannibal Holocaust, but the damn thing bored me to tears. I'll probably try again soon. I'll let you know.

Man, it wasn't THAT bad... Sure, it's derivative, but I thought it was a pretty good teen zombie flick. Great comic timing. Cute. Ran long, but was overall fun.

Awakening of the Beast

What a sublime piece of transgressive cinema by Jose Mojica Marins. Clearly Marins is a true auteur. Startling, brazen images. Original, symbolic storylines. Masterful filmmaking.

And I am agreeing with you AND Posher....:D I also thought it was derivative but a hell of a lot of fun. But then again, I also like the Masters of Horror episode of the same name so that probably tells you something about my taste or lack thereof....;)

"The quiet earth" 7/10

A little too slow pased for my taste, but i appreciated its deepness. The very end was mindblowing.

roshiq 05-23-2009 03:19 AM

The Gray Man (2007)

http://static.hollywoodvideo.com/ima...art/152224.gif

A decent take on Albert H. Fish that emphasized more on plot and character rather than gore and violence.

>>: B-


Martyrs (2008)

Finally it came out here with Eng dub and sub.:)

>>: B+

ferretchucker 05-23-2009 09:34 AM

Music and Lyrics.


Relatively entertaining but very, very very predictable.

cheebacheeba 05-23-2009 09:57 AM

Whats eating Gilbert Grape.
It's alright I guess. Fairly solid performances.

1. Dracula (1931) w/ Lugosi
2. Son Of Dracula w/ lon Chaney jr
3 The Ghost Breakers w/ Bob Hope
4. Frankenstein meets The Wolf Man w/Chaney jr & Lugosi

I just watched Jason Takes NY! thats My favorite because Jason is just a total jurk. I mean that one seen where he is just walking and he kicks that beat box. That was funny.

This is the classic horror forum- defined in the forum description as horror films from the 1960s and BEFORE. Please discuss modern horror films in the Modern Horror forum.

Star Trek

Pretty cool. I wasn't sure about some of the casting. But all in all great fun well worth my trip to the cinema.

Dante'sInferno 05-23-2009 08:23 PM

Terminator: Salvation. I thought it was an okay movie, certainly better than 3.

yeah......the next one in line at the cinema for me.

Wide Sargasso Sea

Interesting rumination on some of the background happening for Jane Eyre. Beautiful setting in the Carribean with lots of local flavor. A bit rushed at the end.

Disease 05-24-2009 04:16 AM

The Lost Weekend

I enjoyed this, it made me think more about what I'm doing at the moment as well or more so what I am not.

7.5/10


Confessions of a dangerous mind

This was good but not great, I only watched it as it was written by Charlie Kaufman, he has obviously progressed as a writer since this.

6/10


Rubin and Ed

I have been wanting to see this movie for a long time. It was great, Crispin Glover played the oddball briliantly.

7/10

I'm going to check this out during the week, it is showing at the Imax cinema here. I might go into out of space myself before I go to the cinema.

Forgot how good the subway train sequence in #2 was. Brilliant little touch. Great way to spend a lazy and hot Sunday afternoon.
