New Moon.

I dont hate this series - and i'm not crazy about it.
It did a good job with the book, condensing the excruciatingly boring parts and focusing on the 'important' plot points to move what was a terrible story along as best as it could.

i enjoyed the Volari - i'm looking forward to seeing more of these guys.

but as far as all the hate New Moon gets .. whatever - its a kiddie romance series. My kid likes it - so it's something the whole family can go to together.

i couldnt care less if vampires sparkled, shoot lasers from their eyes, or shit diamonds.

Fido.
Interesting...watchable.

Final Destination 4 or whatever it's called...
Pretty crap, but then so was 3 IMO, the atmosphere the series had died with the concluding scene of the second one.

i thought that movie accomplished something really special.

they did an amazing job with the retro look and feel - especially for a low budget canadian flick

I agree. Camp is actually very hard to do well, and they nailed it. And Billy Connelly was great.

Mulberry Street.

I thought this was very well done. Lots of action. Good characterizations.

Miner's Massacre...Richard Lynch, Karen Black nor John Phillip Law could save this POS.

On Fearnet

Do they shit diamonds? I'll see it if they shit diamonds.

Paranormal Activity C

This film should be called No Activity. Slow build up, many loose ends and questions left unanswered. I understand we're meant to be clueless like them, but certain things like the flaming Ouija board didn't really need to be in there. Made worse by the constant screaming of nearby girls at every bump and creak (coughing on purpose at times of suspense was fun :D). The only bit worth watching is the last ten minutes, which is the only reason it reached as high as a C.

The Wizard Of Gore (1970)

Enjoyed every minute of this twisted gore-fest.

The Wizard of Gore is great! Have you seen She-Devils on Wheels? That flick was a fuckin' blast.


I enjoyed it for awhile till it went down that same ol' path. I wish writers/directors would give that shit a rest.

Im a fan of that one myself. quite the twist!

Glad you liked it. I actually thought it was significantly smarter than Hostel and Touristas... It's not just a teen slasher movie (though it starts off that way)... It evolves into this cop-story thriller that treads a fantastic line between real and surreal... I loved how it captured the whole mood of the town and the fear of the cult... Brilliantly done. A pure surprise and absolutely raw.

Can't argue that, felt very authentic. That, and they managed to throw together a GOOD zombie tale without a death a minute.

Beyond Evil (1980)

Extremely slow film...

The Antichrist


.....what the fuck?

Hi mothman, Hi.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007). This one seemed to get some pretty good reviews, but it was only ok at best (that's being very generous). Gore hounds will be pleased as it is pretty gruesome, but to little effect. The storyline, even with a totally different premise, was almost the same as the first one. While there were at least a couple of tense moments in the first one, this one feels pretty flat. It was at least a bit of fun watching Henry Rollins play a total stereotypical hero, but only because Rollins is awesome. For those that want a Hollywood feeling DTV splatterfest then it may be great, but for true horror fans there was not much here but gallons of blood. Ashe.

Excellent Nam movie - Influenced by Mash (and the absurdy of war) and an obvious influence on the later FULL METAL JACKET (Hell, Lee Ermey is even a drill Sergent in it(as he was in real life).

Stand out performance from Stan Shaw as the street wise platoon(?) leader and Michael Lembeck as the Italian ladies man from Brooklyn..

Well worth checking out..

a drive-in favorite "back in the day".

Pretty common & predictable.

Killer's Kiss (1955)

http://shopping.yahoo.com/video/imag.../00/138700.jpg

A dazzling film noir thriller piece from young Stanley Kubrick, his 2nd feature film. Beautiful camera works gives a nice preview & lends considerable insight of his later classics for sure.

Demon Under Glass (2002)

http://i46.tinypic.com/vq5js4.jpg

Very underrated vampire flick....

Borderland.

Above Average. Some trite elements to the storyline, but otherwise good.

Borderland

thought it was going to be a Hostel rip-off-----not so much. Worth a watch and based on a true story [ some elements anyway ]

Forbidden Games (1952). Nothing short of brilliant, this French classic captures the essence of children forced to come to terms with death. More than that, this films captures the innocent egocentricity of childhood, if not its essence in entirety. Juxtaposed with this is the absurd and trite world of adults, whose shenanigans are more silly than any games the children might play. The acting is great, and the children are nothing short of remarkable. The film's title is misleading, so let me say that the forbidden games are not of a sexual nature, which may keep some people from venturing out to enjoying this must-see classic. On a side note, this movie was originally shot as a movie short, but was then made to stand on its own and had to have more footage shot a year later. Imagine the director cringing to keep his child actors from looking looking that much older. Ashe.

Zombieland.
Liked it more'n I thought I would.

"In 3 Tagen bist du tot" 6-7/10

Decent german "slasher".

Noise.

It just happened to be on tv while I was in the middle of waxing my snowboards. Pretty good movie actually. Tim Robbins plays a man who just can't take the noise of car alarms, burglar alarms, etc and take matters into his own hands. Very funny and I'm pretty sure that at some point, everyone has felt like doing exactly what he does.

I would suggest getting a computer with GOOGLE on it....

I put your post into it and it came up with the Tim Robbins film - how hard is that..

I spelled 'google' correct if you need help putting it into your search engine..

stupid unorigional story
terrible dialogue and voicework

but absolutely gorgeous as far as the design and animation goes.
50's retro with an alien twist (based on the circle)

Absolutely amazing film - when i recover from the effects I'll write a proper review...

Put my faith back in to cheesey 80's horror and Irish priests.

OH also watched Paranormal Activity yesterday.

It was decent enough for what it was and built up well but was totally ruined by fuckers in the cinema who can't keep quiet for 90mins. The lack of music really compacted this too...

I was fuming when i left the cinema.

i had the same problem

saw it at 3:30 in the afternoon - thought the theatre would be quiet.

had a line of about 8 20 year olds behind me that were talking and making noise...

2 girls in front of me looking at pictures on their camera phone and talking,

and an over the hill biker couple 5 seats to my left where the old skank was complaining about the film not being scary for the entire movie.

still loved the movie - but the experience sucked

Midnight Cowboy (1969). There is no really great story per say here, but instead a realistc snapshop of a couple of schmucks trying to get by in the squalid New York of the 60s. The acting was superb, with Voight and Hoffman complementing each other perfectly. This is a tale of a codependent friendship born of naivete and deceit. The direction was awesome, with appropriate uses of flashback and fantasies to help establish the inner character of each of our antiheroes. Definitely not a feel good flick, this is one of the best movies made in its time, if not one of the best ever made. Ashe.

We are watching this right now, because of your post :p

We're about halfway into it, and I have to ask you if you've seen 'Dead Air' (with Bill Mosely)...We watched Dead Air last week, and so far it is extremely similar to Pontypool...Honestly, I like Dead Air more, so far...If you haven't watched it, check it out.

I prefered Pontypool but i wasn't mad about the wierd explanation (though it was origianl) - the DJ in Pontypool reminded me so much of Lance Hendrikson.

I am pretty even tempered but I imagine if i ever go to jail it will be over an incident in a cinema :-)

the director is bruce macdonald - a canadian treasure. i love his films (although i havent seen this one yet (but i do own it)

the actor stephen mchattie (sp ?) reminds me of frank gorshin

here's bruce from a couply of years a go with a pair of goofs.
(he was promoting pontypool at the time)

Paranormal Activity.

Should be called no activity, seriously, this film was so dull for the most part it was unbelievable. Think of a Blair Witch project set in Suburbia in order to make more people stay awake at night. However, on the other hand, it's particularly good for such a small budget. However, I don't think it'll survive long alongside some of the big wigs.
