District B13.
Pretty videogame-ish plot (hell, it was probably unintentionally more like double dragon than the actual DD movie was), but it was likable, had a cool soundtrack, simple yet not "empty" characters, an interesting take on the near future, and of course, some crazy-ass stunts and fights.

So thanks, whoever mentioned it a few pages back.
Good stuff.

I noticed a sequel has just been released too - I'll be having a look at that as soon as I can.

Parasomnia (2008)

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/162/parasomnia1.jpg

Laura Baxter is a young woman, literally a "sleeping beauty," who suffers from a medical condition called "parasomnia." A childhood accident victim, she is actually sleeping her life away, awakening briefly on rare occasions. Art student Danny Sloan falls in love with her, unaware that her hospital neighbor, a terrifying mass murderer and mesmerist named Byron Volpe has other, more sinister plans. Sloan helps Laura escape from her hospital prison only to discover that Volpe is about to enter her dreams.

An unusual and interesting horror-thriller from director William Malone. Kinda look like a Masters of Horror film and little flawed but overall a pretty fun entertainer with a nice weirdly surreal plot and a decent cast which includes Jeffery Combs as Detective Garrett in a supporting role.

Nice! Can't wait to check this one out. Doesn't look like NZ is getting a theatrical release atm :(

True Romance

Still a great flick although a bit uneven at times. Brought back some memories anyway. A couple of scenes would have to go down in a list of all time favorites for me.

I'm just glad that Zombie didn't go TOO far into bizarre stuff like in HO1000C. H2 was very Silence of the Lambs meets Halloween.

new Movie
 

Good question? For Halloween I watched the old version of Carnival Of Souls

Titanic.

Bleh.

I Drink Your Blood (1970)

http://trueconfessions.files.wordpre.../thumbs-up.jpg

One of the very best exploitation features. A favorite.

In Cold Blood – The 1962 version, Robert Blake’s debut feature. Not a bad movie, but fairly slow and certainly dedicated to recreating everything about the crime and its aftermath. Not the best presentation of this story I’ve encountered.

The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford – Another somewhat slow one, but Brad Pitt’s Jesse James is pleasingly nuts and Casey Affleck’s Robert Ford is terrific. An interesting presentation of a good story.

Sam

Frailty (2001) - not really horror but a great suspense/thriller.

Let the Right One In (2008) - best vampire movie ever is an understatement. Second only to Nosferatu (1922).

Doc Savage
The Adventures Of Buckeroo Banzai

A great double feature

The VAmpire Lovers

Not the best of Hammer but though it lacked in the presence of Lee and Cushing (ok he was in but only as a footnote) it did make up with boobs and some gore and of course the wonderful Ingrid Pitt as the sexy Carmilla Dykestein.

Going to rewatch Lust and Twins next..

Yes Man
The Colony
Inkheart

Wolfhound ...

russian hair and sword epic worth seeing if you're into that kind of deal.

Well then I guess it'd be an OVERstatement, huh? :p

Citizen Kane (1941)

A magic of lights & shadows...the masterpiece of masterpieces in world cinema.

>>: A+


The Invincible Iron Man (2007)

>>: C-

Oldman and Pitt's scenes are some of my favorites, other than that, not really much I loved.

The Last House On The Left [ remake ]


unnecessary

H2 [09]

another mess from Zombie.

Meet Dave

There's a reason I despise the self indulgent, over the top pompous acting of Eddie Murphy...I think I just summed it up. This film however, seemed to be the perfect role for him. He could act like an idiot and yet it didn't feel quite as annoying. The story itself was lacking and the script was severely simple, with characters just stating things so bluntly they might as well have turned to the viewer and addressed us directly. I was also disappointed with the acting of Elizabeth Banks, which I'm usually quite satisfied with. This movie was a terrible film, however I can see how it could be entertaining for it's target audience. However, I'm afraid I don't fall for it.

1/5

Shutter (2008)--Tiresome.

He was alright until like Robin Williams went the way of "family comedy", I hope to one day again see a more adult title out of either of them.
Too bad about Williams too, it seemed like he was getting into some really good stuff (insomnia, one hour photo, the final cut) but since then, it's all gone for me.
These both used to be guys I actually LIKED in films...maybe one day again...

Inglorious Basterds
Im not much of a Tarantino fan, but this was absolutely fabulous.

gwendoline (aka The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak)

I've been meaning to find this one, if for no other reason than to relive my youth via images of a semi naked Tawny Kitaen.

Inglourious Basterds again.

evil dead will always be my favorite.
last one was Hatchet. fucking new second favorite movie of all time. fucking great from beging for 2 reasons. gore and tits. in the firtst 5 minutes. then middle and end non stop action and gore. FUCKING KILLER MOIVE.
i also just saw the new Halloween II movie in theaters and i was impressed. hes made it into a little different than the original of course but he still stuck with it and made it fucking totally amazing as fuck. great job Rob Zombie. he is like an idol.

The Burrowers

Definitely a solid little monster movie. I liked how it had more going for it than your typical monster flick, and I like how they used the background of the 1870s to tell this tale very well. The acting was fantastic and the direction done well. It dragged a bit in the middle; I found myself getting bored at times, but overall it had some great scares and good gore scenes. Great little gem that's worth a watch. Thanks to all here who recommended this one.

3/5.

Atonement


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ent_poster.jpg


Absolutely stunning with incredible performances from Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, and the young Saoirse Ronan. I was particularly engaged in the first 1/3 of the film, which builds the atmosphere, relationships, and background to the lie that will entangle our characters through the latter 2/3. The sets and costumes are lush and beautiful and the heated passion between Knightley and McAvoy is so thick you can feel it... The music is interesting and intriguing, though at some times a little too much, but I have to hand it to them for incorporating the typewriter into the score.

However, the latter 2/3 drags a bit once our star-crossed lovers are separated, though I have to admit that the movie very well captures the alienation, loneliness, and pointlessness of war (the war scenes are brilliantly sad and lost). I almost wish that I had read the book; I can see that this is a rather rich canvas to work with that I'm sure the movie only touched on the highlights.

Regardless of my boredom, I cried at the end, being the big sap that I am, so ultimately the movie creates two characters whom I honestly feel for.

It's definitely worth a look if you love period pieces, love stories, and drama... I ultimately enjoyed it and am glad I watched it.

3/5.

I also took my Nana to see...

Julie & Julia


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...a_ver2_xlg.jpg


What a ridiculously delightful film!! I found myself laughing and sighing along with our main characters, more audibly than I usually do while watching movies. Not much of a surprise, but Meryl Streep is utterly brilliant as Julia Child, and Amy Adams is just utterly charming. It was fantastic to see the lives of these two women brought to screen and especially the food - THE FOOD!! I never knew that Julia Child lead such an interesting life (and was so incredibly in love with her husband - what an amazing relationship)... This movie is sweet, well-acted, well-directed, funny, charming, and as I've said, utterly delightful. It's the kind of film that I want to own and watch on days when I'm blue. I highly recommend it.

4/5.

Aptly titled, indeed.



My new obsession...

http://www.terrorhotties.com/wp-cont...ic_314x354.jpg

then you're going to like JOHN CARPENTER'S THE WARD

Amber is in it?

Sold!

Adventureland

Whiney virgin takes a bad job. Big fucking deal. Everyone in the film is a loser, which makes for a couple of entertaining moments, but all the pathos in this film comes from the soundtrack.

The lead supposedly just graduated college, but he acts like he just graduated high school. Feels like a rewrite that never got fully adjusted.

There isn't one descent example of manhood in the whole film. Watching this one with my son I found myself repeatedly telling him "don't ever be this guy." Don't be the self-doubting pussy who can't seal the deal. Don't be the married guy who cheats with young girls. Don't be the asshole who punches people in the balls for no reason.

4/10

Amber, Danielle Panabaker and several other young vixens.

The World's Greatest Sinner - starring, written and directed by Timothy Carey (the shooter from the killing).

http://www.poptheology.com/wp-conten...est-sinner.jpg

Weird, interesting and fucking oddball movie - I liked it. Carey looked and sounded drunk throughout...The guy is a legend. Tarintion was considering him as Joe in RD at one stage..

Just checked the imdb page for the flick, and it looks stacked!! 200% pure hottie-dom!

Kickass premise too. Should be a blast.

Don't look now

crazy eights

I hated All The Boys Love Mandy Lane it was pretty weak IMO.

Screw Balls

Great fun... these older comedies kill the crap that comes out these days.

I had high hopes for Mandy Lane when it began, but by the end they had largely soured. Don't hate it, though.

I liked it fir a bit... but the twist ending just made me hate it.
