End of the Line (2007)
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8...ftheline07.jpg A pretty decent low budget Canadian horror feature. Thanks to Angra for the rec. >>: B+ Wild Target (2010) http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5...target2010.jpg It's a remake of 1993 French comedy Cible émouvante, which I haven't seen yet. Other than that this is a nice Britt comedy with a good cast that you can give it a watch for Bill Nighy's performance and the gorgeous Emily Blunt. >>: B+ |

Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead suppose to be the goriest movie ever made.......and it is pretty gory...but the dubbing is so fucking bad.....actually it would be a fun watch with a few friends and a few brews. |
Rec 2: Watched it last weekend, not sure if I already made a post about it, but I dont think so. I thought it was quality. Not as intense as the first, but I enjoyed it. Decent pace, plenty of action, interesting progession of the story. Not in the same league as the first, but what I'd call an honest sequel. Good fun.

Naboer AKA Next Door (2005). Skimming the fat to a mere 75 minutes, Naboer is a flick that could nary tolerate any more running time. This sexually infused psychological thriller, told in a discombobulating fashion, reminds us of the rare directorial puissance of Polanski or Lynch. The acting was strong, with the lead as restrained innocence personified; maybe too restrained. The titular "neighbors" were perfectly just left of right, with that "cannot put your finger on their agency of iniquity" atmosphere that creates such a wonderful balance of tension. The set was tremendously claustrophobic and only seemed to be further closing in on the character and viewer alike. The story and direction were the product of obvious talent, though the creepy violence found here might not be for everyone. And that ceaselessly roaming camera just piled on more and more tension; it was if it were reading the mind of the viewer with lush reward. Weak stomachs and minds need not apply, but for those not easily offended or sickened, Naboer is a must see. Merci beaucoup.

"Dark And Stormy Night" (2010) Silly, but entertaining spoof of 1930's "Old Dark House" style murder mysteries. |

See no Evil - Directed by Gregory Dark
http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,314_.jpg Rating 6/10 An entertaining movie. It is not the best movie around, but it is very sufficient in keeping you thrilled for a few hours. Sure, it is rather generic, but it has some decent gore and a nice dark story. I've only seen it twice myself, but both times I have been rather pleased by it. Like I said, it isn't incredible, but it is definitely worth a watch. Creep - Directed by Christopher Smith http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,314_.jpg Rating: 7.5/10 I have to admit, I really liked this movie. A lot of people on IMDB hate it and I just done know why. I though it had a creepy atmosphere, a pretty good villain, and a grabbing storyline. It wasn't an award winning film, but I would still watch frequently if possible. In my opinion, it was a very fun movie to watch. It stars Franka Potente (while not popular, is AMAZINGLY gorgeous). If you don't know who she is, she stars in Run Lola Run, The Bourne Identity/Supremacy, and a few other works. She is absolutely gorgeous in this, and performs just a well as she does in other films. If you get the chance, I suggest you watch this, its a rather interesting piece of work. |
The Tenant (1976)

Bound (1996). This stylish debut from the Wachowski Brothers hinted of film noir with stylish flair. A crime drama with a simple twist, some old school conservatives might find the sexual overtones offensive, but for the rest it was a treat. The acting was solid, with the cast's main trio each giving standout performances. The direction was flat out stupendous, creating a cool atmosphere upon which to paint their wares. The camera work was equally adept, utilizing great slo-mo and POV angles to flaunt its creative muscle. The story was simple, effective , entertaining, and ultimately satisfying. This slick little number gives purchase to the talent that was to become the Matrix trilogy. Merci beaucoup.

It is old school. Typical late 70s haunted house flick which starts off rather strongly but tapers out towards the end. Very cheesy. Good for a few goosebumps and scares. |

Took a break from my Halloween spook-athon last night...
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Disappointed. * * http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Loved it, but maybe because of my part-bias of being a huge RE fan. * * * ˝ http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Fantastic. Too bad it was overshadowed by The Departed back then, because this is right up there with it. I request all of you to watch this at least once. * * * * |
The Loved Ones (2009)
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4840/lovedones.jpg "Princess Lola" and her father will go to any lengths to get the perfect boy of her dreams... including kidnap and torture! A nice psycho teen-torture flick from Australia where there's nothing new in the plot but still worth to watch for its decent cast & production values along with some fine camera work. Hammering knife in the foot, trying to make a hole in the skull by a drill machine...yeah there are some well crafted torture scenes that results a good amount of blood & gore as Lola's own Prom Night party progress with some turns of the event till the end. Background scores also fits suitably in different situations...overall, a pretty well done job by the director Sean Byrne on his first full length feature film. >>: B+ |
The Secret in Their Eyes (2009). In a word, this movie was sublime. Tragic, moving, believable, comedic, sentimental, and flawless, this flick transcends the viewer into that special place, into the very essence of the characters, blessed with all of their faults, and treats each ticket-holder to the cinematic ride of a lifetime. Every aspect of this film shines, with stellar acting, superb direction and storytelling, colorful characters, competent use of the timeline, and awesome camera work. The soccer scene is one that will elicit the desire to be replayed in order to better comprehend its brilliance. With a tragic though satisfying denouement, this flick stays true to it heart throughout, owning the word passion from the get-go. Merci beaucoup.

"Blessed" 3/10
They should've started with the ending and worked from there.. "Blindness" 7/10 Original, dark and well made. |

The Social Network (2010)
Seen this twice in theatres now...fucking love it. Best movie of 2010 that I've seen so far, easily. |
X-Ray (AKA Hospital Massacre) (1982)
Watched this slasher tonight on a well-worn VHS. Formulaic slasher movie that takes place almost entirely in a hospital. It really offers nothing unique to the genre, and has some really awful dialogue. The killer's identity is revealed near the end, but is obvious from almost the very beginning. There are a number of things that just don't make sense in this film - such as the fact that the lead actress, who is mistakenly thought to be seriously ill due to some switched X-rays, is inexplicably admitted to what appears to be a psychiatric ward. The X-ray envelope has her name wrongly labelled on it, however the films themselves evidently have no patient identification on them (if they did, the error would have been discovered immediately, and there would have been little point to the rest of the film). The lead actress does, however, have some of the biggest puffy nipples that you have seen. :eek: |
Hard Eight (1996). This smooth character study by Paul Thomas Anderson's debut flick expertly reveals the depth of his skills. First and foremost are the wonderfully protracted tracking scenes, complicated and mesmerizing. The story itself, a new-fangled take on Melville's Bob the Gambler, is pleasantly simple, allowing the characters to earn the care given the viewer. The dialog is sharp and believable, and while the character interactions reveal the paternal Sydney to be a step above his "adopted" children, there is still an element that something does not add up. Worry not, for such addition is all part of the director's plan, and the film's denouement gives it a much needed paroxysm of tension and elucidation, all with a final scene that is so simple that its symbolic depth can almost be tasted. Merci beaucoup.

Romance and Cigarettes.
You're going to either love or hate this film. I loved it. Written and directed by John Turturro, the plot has nothing to do with it's charm. The entire film is one big quirk. The characters are all off kilter and it's a musical no less. Amazing performances by James Gandolfino, Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Elaine Stricht and a number of others. Recommended to those who enjoy off the wall indie films- Fortunato, Chrono, MissM and others- if you haven't seen it, check it out. |

The Mothman Prophecies http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...prophecies.jpg Thank you, NE, for pointing this movie out in the "Best PG 13 Horror Movies" Thread because, quite frankly, this movie was great. I'm a HUGE sucker for cryptozoology, and here's a movie that does a movie that does a cryptid legend well. Great direction, fantastic acting, and a solid script combines to create a good, creepy suspense-thriller. I absolutely loved it. 4.75/5. |
The Horseman
Brutal, brutal Australian revenge flick. It's biggest problem I feel is that it fails to provide much backstory on the characters so some of the extremely brutal revenge scenes feel unjustified. |
Piranha
This was trashy,gory dumb fun.The film succeeds in delivering gratutious nudity,excessive splatter,and cheap gags,and that's all it needed to do in order to keep me entertained. 7/10 |

The Hole (2009)
Joe Dante (The Howling, Gremlins) directs this horror film about two brothers that stumble upon a mysterious hole in their basement. When the hole is exposed, evil is unleashed. With strange shadows lurking around every corner and past nightmares coming to life, they will have to come face to face their darkest fears to put an end to The Hole. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5420/thehole3d.jpg In this beautiful little horror feature Joe Dante returns with typical, campy & fun mix of 80's flavor that you can watch with your entire family & friends, even you can add it up to your coming Halloween night movie list just before the Trick r' Treat! The horror maestro wonderfully proves again still today it's possible to make a pretty decent horror film without showing a single drop of blood & even nudity, sex or violence. I absolutely loved it, reminds couple of 80's favorites...it has a ghostly little girl, a creepy clown doll and even a perfect boogieman! So what are you waiting for?? At least don't try to miss it in this special month...Go watch it in whatever way you can collect a copy of this gem. >>: A- Beneath Still Waters (2005) http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/6...tillwaters.jpg >>: C+ Abandoned (2010) http://content6.flixster.com/movie/1...953508_pro.jpg >>: D |
Human Centipede. Bit of a letdown, I was expecting better.

Dance of the Dead. (2008). This entry into teen scream horror comedy had all of the makings of a bad flick gone worse, but somehow avoids all such pitfalls and instead churns out a devilish good time. Not necessarily original, the fresh and talented cast adds to its sense of originality. What may have brought this up a level is that it somehow captures the awkward essence of high school in an effortless manner. There are some laugh out loud moments as well as scenes that are just too delightful for words. This low-budget bloodfest never feels cheesy, but instead replaces dollars with outright talent. With witty dialog, fun scenes, and rock and roll fun, Dance of the Dead is a wonderful addition into this difficult genre. Merci beaucoup.

Vexille: CG Anime. I'm not totally sold on the use of CG for anime quite yet. Some aspects look amazing, but others not so much. This is a pretty interesting storyline about Japan blocking itself off from the rest of the world when it wants to pursue android production after the UN makes it illegal. Worth a watch if you're into Ghost in the Shell type anime.
Feast 1,2,3: Great, gory fun as always. I was worried about 3 not even being 80 minutes long, but it was a perfect length. Flakes: Fairly fun indie-type movie with Zooey Deschanel *swoon*. Christoper Lloyd is great in this. Worth watching when you want something not too serious. |
