Aliens (First time ever)

Played at my local theater on Monday

You've just had a pretty good experience right there, hm?

Very good. I loved it. Also I am quite happy my first time seeing it was in theaters. Not many people my age can say that.

The Hills have eyes 2 (1985)

I was a bit dissapointed condiering the origanal was a classic and this sequal still had Craven at the wheel.

There is no real terror in this one, it just fumbles it's way along. Not an important horror movie at all.

4/10

Prom Night 2

If you ignore the fact it is a sequal it is a pretty decent 80's teen horor flick, a lot of fun.

7/10

Cracks me up how the dog has a fuckin' flashback in The Hills Have Eyes 2 :D

Ninja Assassin

Loved it. Nice mix of old and new school plus lots of splatter. More Ninja flicks please!

Sex Drive

can't remember the last time a comedy made me laugh this much.

Josh Zuckerman does great celebrity impressions too:

Ditto, one of the most uniquely funniest & ridiculous scenes of the genre films.:p

yeah...how about Ninjas Vs Aliens & Predators?

Already seen 6 out of 8 films of this 4th Horrorfest so far and it's going to be the worst one in compare to the films of previous 3 horrorfests.

Make that Ninjas and Western Gunslingers and i am in...

Monster: Humanoids From The Deep. Love the New World movies from this era!

Pulse (2006)--I can't really give an honest opinion on this film. All the remakes of Japanese horror films look the same to me--same tone, same editing, same pacing, same everything.

Yeah... Ninja Assassin is the best. Gore is 10/10. I'm not so fond with its story though.

Header......this film was crazy. You guys should watch this for the grandpappy character alone. Fucking hilarious!

28 Weeks Later

I liked this better than the first one. A larger scale, more involving characters made it a more interesting story.

Taken (2008). Sounded promising, but seemed like nothing more than a standard fare ex-spy encounters personal crisis and is forced out of retirement flick. Lots of action, and Liam Neeson did his part, but it still fell flat as an engaging movie. Ashe.

Again

Black Christmas (1974). This little known soon-to-be-classic thriller can almost be called the one that started it all, at least in the slasher genre of the late 70s and 80s. It was downright creepy. Instead of relying on technology, Clark uses more natural elements to create an atmosphere of terror. Sounds, creepy POV camera work, and the viewer's imagination all come together to create bloodcurdling little tale. The phone scenes were probably the most chilling aspects of this great flick. The tale itself was rather simple but superbly revealed. The acting was stellar, with Margot Kidder killing her part as a barely lovable lush. Bob Clark's direction was sublime. And the score was minimalist as well as effective. With more is better as the catch phrase, this one uses this notion with aplomb, and the viewer is thereby gifted with a wonderful horror entry.

Touch of Evil (1958). Stating the obvious, I would be loathe not to mention that incredible opening scene. This is a B-movie that transcends itself with the magic of Orson Welles. This movie simply needs to be seen. If Ayn Rand was a director, this might be how her stab at a film noir would appear. The acting, the camera work, the direction-magnificent down to the last line.
Ashe.

Audition
Still creepy and tense after all these years,

End of the Line (2007). This great little horror entry starts off strong and does not disappoint throughout. The only complaint one might have is that it is a low budget affair. That said, what the director does with the little he had (I read that he funded the movie out of his own pocket) was truly amazing. The script itself was near perfect, especially for a horror film. The story was engaging and even thought provoking. In fact, it was outright over the top in some regards, and the PC audience find themselves wonderfully offended. The acting was better than could be expected for a cheap horror film, in fact it was enough to get the viewer to care for them. The protag was splendidly icky. The scares threatened to be cheap, but turned out to be an honest affair. The camera work was more than competent. All in all, this turned out to be a strong entry into the horror genre. Ashe.

The Informant.....pretty good with a great performance from Matt Damon.

Survival of the Dead

Not totally awful but fairly average. Sits alongside Giallo as a bit of a letdown with a few cool moments.

Jackie Brown (1997). Not your typical Tarantino flick, this is a mellow, nicely paced crime drama that focuses more on character development, giving its wonderful cast of characters a chance to show off their skills, which they do with aplomb. Pam Grier gives a tremendous performance, and Robert De Niro's performance was almost too good as a low rent ex-con. The real standout was Robert Forster's role, as he finally gets a chance to flex his acting muscle. The story itself was intriguing and told in a delightful manner. Of course the direction was incredible, with the occassional though subdued Tarantino flair. A great flick for those whose attention spans can tolerate some wonderful character development in the place of frenetic violence. Merci beaucoup.

The Farmer's Wife (1928)

Aliens followed by Altered.

30 Days of Night. Freaking awesome vampires! The tempo of the movie made it feel like it spanned maybe a couple days at most, which kinda stunk. Besides that for being a "blood on the snow" flick it sure beat Whiteout!

The Beyond (1981). Was not impressed with this Lucio entry, but to be fair i am not a fan of B movies..

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

Pretty much what you would expect with the teaming of Herzog & Cage

I enjoyed it

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: Pure Gilliam. I loved it. I can see that many people would outright hate it much like every other Gilliam film though. The work around for Heath's death was perfect. Overall a simply visually stunning film.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer: Not my first time watching this one, but I was in the store and saw the Blu-Ray release and had to grab it. Unfortunately it's not widescreen so a Blu-Ray release seems almost pointless. But it's still a great movie. Very intense and disturbing to say the least and holds up quite well given how long ago it was originally released.

Dario Argento's Deep Red
8.5/10:)David Hemmings was excellent in this compelling horror.

How does a film shot on 16mm look on Blue ray with a big TV?

Better than say watching the dvd on a big, high quality tube tv, but not by much. It's cleaner and smoother, but nowhere near the difference you see between a standard dvd and a bluray. I guess the main bonus for getting the bluray here is the extra features like the making of documentary and whatnot.

One of the few movies I still hang a "disturbing" tag on.

Yup

Poor, poor woman...

WOW DUDE!!! :eek:


It finally happened. :D

Paranormal Entity (2009). First of all, what a total rip-off. That Asylum can get away with such shenanigans is amazing. What is more amazing is that i actually liked this low budget rip-off that was purportedly made for some eleven thousand bucks. The scares are much more prevalent than in Paranormal Activity, and the story is a tad darker. In fact, the story itself is different enough to allow this one to stand on its own, rip off or not. Yeah, the acting kinda sucked, but the inspirational terror that it instilled made up for it. Production value was probably greater than what ya'd expect for such a low budget affair, so i say kudos for such a perfect exploitation of someone else's ingenuity. Late.

The fact that most of the murders are shown after the fact with the sounds lightly played over the slow motion view of the aftermath is what really does it for me. It forces the viewer to imagine what transpired and as anyone into horror knows, the viewer's imagination will always trump having the scene played out for you.

It still blows me away that Siskel & Ebert called it "a powerful and important film, brilliantly acted and directed." It's really not a film you would expect mainstream critics to back at all.
