The movie starts off with the diaper mafia trying to blow up a school full of retarded children, that's really all you should need to know. A must see flick, if you haven't seen it.

nice summary, absolute classic for sure.

Creep (2004) This movie debut by Christopher Smith definitely shows that he loves the horror genre and has a little talent to boot. How he scraped together this great cast (with Franka Potente from Run Lola Run fame) is more of a mystery than the story itself. Even the monster was played by the more than reputable Sean Harris, and his performance was brilliant. The story itself, with many holes and as well as stupid character moments, is well paced and more than enjoyable. The doctor scene was just plain twisted... The camera work was fun and really got down and dirty to reveal the characters in a wonderful in your face fashion. On the musical side, the score was almost as creepy as the movie itself. Overall, this was a solid entry from a director whose first flick served as a great platform with which to motor on in this genre of blood and guts. Merci beaucoup.

Order of Chaos (2010)

>>: B-

Home Movie - Not bad. Pretty typical for the type of movie it is.

Inside - Meh, started out scary and suspenseful, but then turned into a plotless gorefest.

Really. I found this film pretty fresh and original. What's another movie of this "type" that's similar?

The Human Centipede

was ok......not really sure what he was going for.....if he just wanted something to fetch the paper he should have got another dog.

"The fourth kind" 1/10

Seriously, what is there to like?

Phenomonononon

The Argento flick, nice and creepy, the soundtrck doesn't work, but a cool ending.


7/10

Death Spa

A very fun 80's slasher flick, with a supernatural twist, it's so cheesy 80's, if you like 80's horror check it out.

7/10


The Town that dreaded sundown

So this is based on a tru killer, the naration is similar sounding to TCSM though in this flick there is more of it at turning points of the movie as aposed to just the opening credits. The killer looks and moves a lot like the original Jason from Friday the firteenth pt 2, though this was made years before. But also I notice the camera angles were very original slasher that were copied throughout the 80's, shot's of the killer from the waist down ect.

It was quite an exceptional slasher flick which would have been better with less naration.

8.5/10

Death Spa sounds great haha. I really need to see The Town That Dreaded Sundown cheers for the reminder. I love the Phenomena soundtrack personally bummed I don't have the record anymore. Iron Maiden rocking out while that chicks getting murdered.... great stuff :D

Me toooooooooooooooooooooo. I thought it was an absolute blast. I want to own it.

Up in the Air


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


In a word: Wow. If I had seen this last year, it easily would have been in my Top 3 (behind Up and Observe and Report). A compelling character piece manned by George Clooney, Up in the Air is well-written, well-directed, well-acted, and one of the best movies that I've seen in a very long time. This is the kind of film that restores my faith in drama: A movie that creates realistic characters whom you honestly feel for. I absolutely loved this film. I loved Clooney, I loved Farmiga, and I loved Kendrick. I really don't have anything bad to say about it; great character piece that made me smile and cry and really appreciate these kinds of films. Refreshing and real, I loved it. HIGHLY recommended.

5/5.

Lesbian Vampire Killers


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s-trailer2.jpg


Shaun of the Dead. With Vampires. Literally. Director Phil Claydon uses the Loser Hero/Fat Side kick model to create a bumbling vampire-killing buddy comedy. It's not bad... Unfortunately our Main Bumbling Hero (Simon Pegg's Counterpart) is a total TOOL - both poorly written and poorly acted - so the film relies so heavily on his rotund partner that it becomes confusing why the Goofy Fatman isn't slotted to save the day and the girl. On top of that, while most of the humor is fairly amusing, a lot of it honestly feels forced, the two fools playing fool-stereotypes instead of the average clumsy everymen.

But that's OK; the kills are solid, the gore delightful, and the funny parts ARE truly funny (laughed out loud a couple of times). There's some quality direction here. I just think that they could have done with a better hero. And maybe some rewriting. Regardless, if you're looking for a mindless British horror comedy, then give it a watch - you'll have fun with it.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: If you were hoping for softcore porn with lots of lesbians and boobs, you'll be disappointed. I know I was.

3/5.

Black Sheep sucks cocks in hell. Lesbain Vampire Killers is even worse (if that's possible).

Its actually depressing to think people outside the UK have had to sit through Lesbian Vampire Killers. Horne and Cordon are so far up their own arse its hard to even look at them, let alone laugh.

Two totally unfunny cunts that's for sure.

The whole style of it is so overdone. But people keep lapping it up so the studios keep putting it out.

Definatley check those 2 out when you can, Death spa is a lot of fun.

Killer Nun

Apart from one of the nuns being unbelievably sexy and nude at times, it is a pretty average flick, maybe it lost something in being overdubbed but it just didn't really entertain.

5/10

Yes, but you hate horror comedies... Take that and couple it with a mediocre one, of COURSE you're going to despise it.

Are they "famous" in the UK? I thought that Mathew Horne was flat-out awful...

Yup. They are a pretty big deal over here. They had alot of success for a sitcom they did (Gavin & Stacy). They basically tapped into the 'yoof' culture and milked it for every penny they could. Thankfully the broadcasting companies are handing them plenty of rope to hang themselves with and they are doing there part by churning out utter crap. We got stacks of quality comedy over here that doesn't get a chance because of middle- class sell out crap like Horne & Corden. Horne is probably about the most wooden comedian you'll ever see and Corden is about as smug as one man can get.

That's kinda shocking to me... Horne was so awful. That he was barely in the movie made me think that the Producers reconsidered their casting decision and most of his part ended up on the cutting room floor... I found it bizarre how the movie focused mostly on the Fatman; it's Horne that should be our hero. I figured that they edited him out because he sucked. Turns out they're a comedy duo? Wow. Lame.

Do they feel as much of a Simon Pegg/Nick Frost ripoff on television? Or do that just seem that way in context because of the whole horror comedy thing?

Army of Darkness (1992). This might just be one of the finest horror comedies ever produced. Never taking itself seriously, that the crew were having a blast making this notoriously funny flick definitely shines through. Bruce Campbell has a face that just oozes wonderful silliness. Never shy of great one-liners, this playful flick is an absolute entertainer for those appreciative of silly horror comedies. The direction and camera work was magnificent, and the effects were in perfect accord with the theme of this movie. Overall, a very nice finish to incredible trilogy. Merci beaucoup.
derek

I was actually just thinking about this movie after having learned of Elvis' hatred of horror comedy... Elvis: Thoughts on the Evil Dead Trilogy?

They have taken the same career path as Pegg and Frost and get compared alot. There's a fat one and a thin, they have both done sitcoms, sketch shows and feature films, but really, the similarities are superficial. For a start, Pegg and Frost are a likeable pairing and have some talent. Horne and Corden really aren't all that funny and don't have all that much talent. They borrowed a little from various successful comedy formats and rebadged it for a younger audiance and had alot of success for the first series of Gavin & Stacey but they have nothing beyond that. Pegg and Frost have years of quality comedy behind them, Pegg was touring with Steve Coogan years ago and both were a success before Shaun. Horne and Corden have had plenty of chances over here and its only been recently that people seem to be realising they are a pair of smug, wooden, unfunny, tossers.

LOL - I think that nails it right there. Thanks so much for the insight. It's interesting to see a movie like that so out of context. Thanks for giving me the context. It actually makes me dislike the movie more...

My work is done then. I hate to think of that going overseas as an example of British comedy.

I thought 3/5 was real generous too. :)

Bullet........I really liked this film. Mickey Rourke was great as was Ted Levine who played the war crazed brother usually seen in his filthy underwear living with the parents. I have not seen trunks that filthy since captain spalding in the devils rejects. The lester character was awesome.........a must see.

Yeah, well, I think that part of the "higher" rating is that I really REALLY wanted to like it - I mean, LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS - That movie SHOULD have been awesome! I really wanted it to be hilarious and spectacular. It was just trying too hard at times.

But Black Sheep was terrible and I saw the trailer for Lesbian Vampire Killers and it made me never want to see the movie. And I love horror comedies but hate bad movies.:p

Evil Dead 2 is one of my all time favorite horror flicks, amazing blend of humor, scares and splatter. I love the tone and look of the film really dark.

Army of Darkness is all good but a little diluted/family friendly and not as subtle has the first two films. I was a little disappointed at how it looked when it first came out because I loved how cool the medieval scenes looked at the end of ED2. The stop motion stuff is fucking dope and its great comic book styled fun. I've seen it way to many times to really enjoy watching it these days. It's the weakest of the three films but still classic in its own right.

I've grown to dislike horror comedies because of their sameness/unoriginality. Braindead and Army of Darkness were great but they were something different and now they are just used as a blueprint for the horror comedy cookie cutter.

I get pissed at how over here unless its a film in the style of Braindead splatter/horror gets no funding or even a chance to get off the ground. NZ has the potential to put out a great dark horror film but instead these scripts get canned and shit like Black Sheep gets hyped to fuck. Bad Blood and The Lost Tribe meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... could be epic stuff. The early Vincent Ward styled stuff would make for some great gothic themed horror films too. Fuck watch Vigil or The Lost Tribe and tell me that Black Sheep wasn't a waste of the landscape. I relise we don't have a very big film industry that can afford to do stuff that risks losing money but a little thinking outside the square could really be beneficial.

I like Shaun of the Dead a lot more than I used to and although it didn't blow me away as much as it did for other people Zombieland was a step in the right direction.

It's a subgenre that I get more harsh on mediocrity with put it that way :)

Kick-Ass

Brilliant. Really clever concept and I loved the dark humor. Haven't read the comics before so I don't know how it holds up in that respect. Up there with Sin City and Watchmen for me.

The comic is good, but pretty different. The cool thing is the script and comic were actually developed together, and each one was tailored to the medium.

Iron Man 2 (2010)

Entertaining for sure, but like everyone else has already mentioned, not as fresh as the first one. Be sure to stay after the credits (of course), which incidentally are unbelievably long.

Brothers
wicked powerful flick. didnt expect much but was blown away.

Man on Wire

Documentary about Phillipe Petit, who walked on a wire strung between the World Trade Center towers in 1974.

In comprehensible to me- I hate riding in glass walled elevators.

Which One?

Last seen:
Leon: The Professional (1994) Luc Besson's work here is a beautifully woven cloth of intricate scenes that are nevertheless appreciated with ease. The story is fairly fresh, with some rather daring moments of artful sensuality. That said, it was the acting which took this flick to the next level. Young Natalie Portman is sublime, and Jean Reno's performance helped to create an intense chemistry between the two. Gary Oldman's performance takes the cake though. In simple terms, his character was splendidly despicable. Every element of film-making comes together in this one to make for an incredible movie that should entertain any audience. Ashe.

Universal Soldier: Regeneration: I thought it was OK. Plenty of action to hide the poor plot and total lack of creativity. I would've liked to have seen alot more of Dolph Lundgren and had them centre the story more around Van Damme & Lungren's characters. Thought it could've been better, but it was what it was, mediocre straight to DvD action.

Makes one seriously wonder that with such fresh ideas still brimming about, why don't they get the attention they deserve? Fantastic little entertainer, although for some viewers it might feel like it drags in some parts. What a solid ending too. The genre is alive and well, and needs more of such films.

I wasnt aware there was more than one. this one.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

Nowhere near as bad as everyone's making out. I really dug how dark the film was in tone (almost similar to New Nightmare stylistically). Thought the new Nancy was cool. The new Freddy oozed sleaze in a couple of scenes and I liked how his burnt face looked. Englund's Krueger is really iconic to me so there's no way his version of Freddy will be topped for me but I thought they did ok at creating a new vision of Freddy. Somewhere in between the first two flicks and New Nightmare look/characterwise but with a more subtle menace to him. People have basically already made up their minds to slam this one before they've seen it but go into it with an open mind and see for yourself.
Guess it's to early for word on a sequel but I'd definitely check it out because I want to see where they go with the character. Exceeded my expectations and it's totally worth a watch.
