While Hanna didn't really come together for me, I love Saoirse Ronan; great little actress - cool to see that she can do action too.

Repo Man (1984)

One of my boyfriend's favorite movies and I can see it being something that Elvis Christ enjoys too... But I just couldn't get into it (sorry Emilio).

Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../comic-con.jpg


Great documentary about life at Comic-Con - I actually liked it so much that I wished it was a mini-series instead of a movie; never having been to Comic-Con there was so much more that I wanted to see (also I was really hoping that Warren Ellis would have done an interview - bummed about that)... But regardless, it was a really fun watch. A must-see for geeks, nerds, and fanboys.

4/5.

I Saw the Devil

asian (korean, i think) revenge movie. a bit long, but well paced. very vicious. fun stuff. it's on the netflix instant queue if you're into that sort of thing. i would definitely recommend it.
also, it's subtitled, so if you're not a reader you may not enjoy it... but since you're reading this forum, i guess that's a null point.

Haha Repo Man is right up there for me but yeah it definitely isn't for everyone. Definitely give it another watch in the future and don't write it off right away... I found I liked it a lot more with subsequent viewings.

Be sure to give Repo Chick a miss it fucking sucked.

That's a bummer. I never got around to seeing it, but I was afraid it would be terrible.

Watched a few Kenneth Anger films: Lucifer Rising, Scorpio Rising, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome.
One of my favorite experimental filmmakers, for sure.

well done

looking forward to The Avengers

also rewatched Death Proof. nice car chasing. first time it got my adrenaline pumping pretty good.

alot of people liked death proof,thought it was very average.liked planet terror better.
id probably rather british accent over american accent,but dont think either sounds very homo sexual or lesbian

Watched DETENTION now that it's finally out in theaters - It's a teen horror comedy that's hilarious and gruesome all at the same time. Have any of you guys seen it?

I might be in the minority, but I just didnt enjoy Insidious. I thought it was dull over all.

Dark House

Better than I expected it to be. 3/5

"Hidden 3D" 6-7/10


Couldn't figure out if this was a remake attempt of the norweigan Hidden from 2009. If that was the case it sure was different, but at the same time a typical american remake. Lots of effects and no atmosphere.

Lordy, lordy. So inventive and fun and sarcastically clever. What a blast. Definitely check this out on the big screen if you can.

Ricochet (1991)
Thriller starring Denzel Washington and John Lithgow.
Simplistic cat & mouse plotline involving a prison break and frame up.
Solid performances all round and Lithgow shines as a deplorable villain.

Gremlins (1984)


http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...l28/ST4704.jpg

Popped this one in the other day, hadn't seen it for years.

One of my favourite films, just totally fun from start to finish. I remember watching this movie obsessively as a kid - to this day it still breaks my heart that mogwai aren't real.

10/10

Hey I just watched a movie called "killers" it is a good horror movie, but the ending OMG, I was yelling at my TV for the guy to shoot the killer in the face. Let me site this but for you. The good guy has a six shot revolver and the killer has a shotgun. The good guy shots the killer six times in the chest and is not dead, you would think after may two shots that you would aim for the head.

I adored this one, it's like a horror sandwich with some sci-fi peanut butter. I can't say anything about it really rubbed me wrong except for MAYBE Goddard and Whedon need to practice their pop ins as they seemed a bit... misplaced.

That was one of the first things I saw him in. Dude made such a good villian. I've always thought Raising Cain never got the praise it deserved.

Re-Animator 2. Nothing to say. Gory enough but not as catchy as the first one. Should I watch part 3 after that?

Yeah it's not the greatest but it has a few moments that make it worth a watch at least.

I thought 3 was better than the second. So yea, go nuts.

Movies seen in this month so far....
 

>> Beyond the Limits (2003) : B-

>> The Fields (2011) : C+

Needed a background story for those unknown 'home invaders' or antagonists. It had a nice premise with some potential to set an interesting tale but turned out quite simple & unsatisfying at the end.

>> Dragon Eyes (2012) : C-

>> Villa Captive (2011) : B-

A French indie home invasion+rape & revenge flick, not bad.

>> Livide (2011) : B+

This is the new film from the director duo of 2007 French Gore classic INSIDE. Very beautifully filmed with great scores & impressive creepy premise, LIVIDE tells the story of Lucie, a young woman who has just taken on a new job as an assistant helping the elderly in their homes. After her employer "conveniently" tells Lucie about a rumor that Madame Jessel (an elderly comatose woman who is as dilapidated as the creepy Victorian house she resides in!) has a lot of money hidden in her home, Lucie brings her boyfriend and his brother with her to break into the Jessel manor in search of fortune. And yeah...the trio just picked the wrong mansion to rob as they soon realize there are evil forces waiting to torture and butcher the insatiable group of friends. The premise was pretty effective for a haunted house film & the INSIDE maker used it almost convincingly most of the time through building the suspense & delivering the chills & jump scares nicely in almost two-third of the film but the problem comes with the surprise elements of the plot as the back story wasn't that much clear and eventually things get pretty weird at the final act. The film doesn't seem to know which genre it wants to be...a nice haunted house story ended in a weird-creepy fairy tale fashion! But still I'd say overall it's definitely worth a watch. The cast was okay and at least there were some decent gore & creep elements that they delivered finely.

>> The Darkest Hour (2011) : C+

>> Enter Nowhere (2011) : B-

A hilariously twisted slow-burn thriller.

>> Contagion aka Bio-Slime (2010) : C-

>> Cassadaga (2011) : B-

The production value & characterization were nice but kinda cliched story.

>> Gone (2012) : B

Quite formulatic but a decent time passing thriller.

Sold.


And Dragon Eyes was just another mediocre action flick? Figures...

Enjoyed this one. Expected a bit more shitkicker bluegrass on the soundtrack. There were some great lines had me laughing my ass off. Think I'll have to check out some more old school Burt Reynolds flicks.

Paintball.
Sure it was brutal in parts, even borderline atmospheric.
Didn't really like it though...and I swear every "actor" in this must've been doing free work...it wasn't unwatchably bad, but yeah not for me.
Elements of potential, but yeah this is a pretty bad film IMO.

My recommendation for a better movie of a similar kind "Severance".

"The Crimson Pirate" (1952)
-Burt Lancaster

Plot:
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crimson_Pirate

Phantom's Review: Fun, light hearted film. The kind of film that makes it seem like being a pirate was all fun and adventure. Burt Lancaster is at his acrobatic best as the legendary "Crimson Pirate". Don't expect any historical accuracy, this is just a pure, good old fashioned swashbuckler. Epic sets, colorful costumes, romance,and plenty of sword fights. A wonderful film. Horror fans keep an eye out for a very young Christopher Lee as the assistant to the films villain.

The Night Stalker" (1972)
-Darren McGavin

Plot: IMDB

Carl Kolchak is a newspaper reporter with an abrasive personality that has gotten him fired ten times from various big-city papers. Now he's reduced to reporting for a relatively small-time paper in Las Vegas. It's here he gets the story of his life. But will the local sheriff, or the D.A., or even his own boss, let him print it? He has an ally in the FBI agent brought in to investigate this strange case. It seems someone is biting the necks of young girls and draining their blood. Can this killer with supernormal powers really be a 70-year-old Rumanian millionaire? Can he really be a vampire? And can an aging reporter do anything to stop him?

Phantom's Review: One of TV's best horror films. Produced by Dan Curtis' (Dark Shadows) and starring Darren McGavin in one of his best roles. A great blend of classic vampire story with modern day sensibilities. (at least for 1972). Good atmosphere, acting and story. a classic.

Pretty decent low budget Anthology (for the most part) centered around sex perversion. The last segment is from the guy who directed 'Red White & Blue'.

loved that show myself....but it really hasn't aged well. Just watched an episode a few weeks ago about a headless motorcyclist. But it a still has its charms.
