Was it good? I have it on my HD for ages and not got around to it...

Usually its the opposite - most films that 'claim' to be based on Lovecraft aren't really that good (or really based on Lovecraft for that matter LOL) - though this one does sound at least inspired by 'Cool Air'.

Started watching Area 407 but turned it off after about half an hour. Probably the worst found footage movie i've ever seen. Just terrible.

Whats with that? Seems like very few people can translate his works onto film.

The Avengers

Words cannot describe how amazing this movie was which is good because my brain just exploded from sheer awesomeness.

Just go see it.

so...you liked it?



:D

yeah...2 of my kids have seen it already...one went to a marathon movie viewing thing where they showed Iron Man 1 &2, Thor, Hulk, Captain America and then the new one at midnight...both said it's a must see movie....but I'll wait a bit

Just the nature of having indescribable, unimaginable cosmic horrors I think :-)

I think the 2005 HPLS Call of Cthulhu is prolly the best adaptation around - even their (still great) Whisperer in Darkness isn't perfect..

Though I love Re-Animator - I think the film would have HP spinning in his grave :-)

Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!

Documentary on the Australian exploitation movies of the 70's and 80's. It was really in-depth, including interviews with a plethora of important people from the era. It starts off with the early sex films and gross-out comedies, then goes more into the horror and action genres.

Before going into this, the only films from this genre I was familiar with was the Mad Max series (Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior being one of the all-time faves). Really worth checking out if you're unfamiliar with this sort.

Thanks to this, I have a bunch of new films to add to my watchlist: Patrick, Road Games, Dead End Drive-In (which is on Netflix streaming :)), Razorback, The Howling 3: Marsupials (looks totally bonkers), Snapshot aka The Day After Halloween, and Next of Kin.

Really well done. Recommended. Four out of Five stars.

Primal.

This is one of the few Australian horror movies I've seen. I don't know if this movie was supposed to be a bit of a comedy or not. It starts of like a lot of horror movies. The group of kids alone in the jungle. But there is a twist with the small cute blonde girl which is crazy. Also, the ending reveal is insane.

what. the. fuck.

Great doco you should follow it up with Machete Maidens Unleashed.


------------

Chronicle

This was great enjoyed it's fresh take on the genre. Thought it was a good mix of the real life superheroes and found footage flicks. One of the better films of 2012 so far.

Nazis At The Centre Of The Earth

After reading all the negative reviews I was surprised by how much I liked this. Of course it's total shit but amusing and entertaining shit. Check it out if you're in the mood for a "bad" movie because it's one of the better modern ventures into the territory.

Agreed and Agreed...

Got back home last night after having a 5 day long Holiday trip to Singapore. And didn't miss the rare chance to watch some movies in the IMAX theaters...


The Avengers (2012) [in 3D]

Ditto.

It was a great fun experience. The audience in the theater were bit weird...barely shared any expression when there was a funny one liner or some awesome "Avengers" moments...finally when I couldn't help myself but clapped at 'Hulk Ragdoll Loki' scene then it was like everyone was just waiting for that as the 'clapping' spread over & finally others started to open themselves up :D
Anyway, highly entertaining; though expected a bit more action(!), like the way how every character got their fair portion of screen presence & action. I have a feeling that they may add Spidy in the sequel.

>>: A-

The Hunger Games (2012)

Didn't read the book but had a good expectation about it after reading somewhere that it has something similar to Battle Royal. But the end result: pretty ridiculous & disappointing!

>>: C

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

A pretty decent & entertaining satire with some nice homage elements to genre classics. Liked it.

>>: B+

Ditto...& I also had the exact thought about the ED Cabin & the end. :)

a bit of netflix last night

Primal---could have been much better if the director had watched "Demons" and took some hints......overall though worth a watch

Shark Night---bad acting, bad CGI, bad plot....I don't even think a well placed pair of naked female breast [ which there was none ] could have saved this one.

[QUOTE=Ferox13;924540]and agreed

Yeah that flick fucking sucked. I was really disappointed even by my low standards.

---------

Rise Of The Animals

Zero budget fun n' splatter with killer soft toys and horrendous CGI.

"Seeking Justice".
Didn't mind it at all.
Can't stand the January Jones chick though, she's like a robot.
Cage wasn't bad, nor was the plot.
It's interesting, and it keeps you watching.

"The Avengers" (2012)

Phantom's Review: Simply Awesome! The best comic book action movie I have ever seen. All the heros get plenty of screen time,intresting story, great FX and plenty of action. Superb, now if only the comics were as good.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

meh......pretty stupid. Katie Holmes ain't much of an actress and the actions of the father were too unbelievable.

Straw Dogs

Dumbed down and pointless remake but James Woods was great in it. It made me appreciate the original film a lot more.

Great film I really dug it. That scene with all them all singing by the piano was twisted.

Nemesis (1992)

I'm not sure what to say, maybe "WHAT THE FUCK!" . This movie was pretty confusing , extremely over the top with the action, but had the cyborgs were pretty cool and some of the action scenes, well, they were over the top but really fucking cool as well.

I think another viewing and it could become a bit of a favorite. But for now,

6/10

Maniac Cop

It was good to revisit this classic, it must have been ten years or more since I have seen it, I think I might watch the sequels again as well.


8/10

not much doesent go good with pizza though

Deliverance

Is there anyone here who hasn't seen this movie?

8/10

Rawhead Rex
Fun monster movie, a little over the top but i liked it.

Justice League: Doom
I usually don't watch animated superhero movies but i really liked Batman: Under The Red Hood so i decided to give this one a shot and i have to say it's pretty good.

The Notebook
My girlfriend wanted me to watch this but i have to say it was actually pretty touching.

i havnt..havnt seen ghoulies either

Terror Firmer - Troma will never die, always living in heart of their fans :p especially with such over-the-top gross classics. A macabre post-modern masterpiece. With Lemmy, Matt and Trey plus Ron Jeremy :cool:. Enough said. 9/10

Welcome all horror fans, btw :)

The Avengers (2012)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...2012Poster.jpg

So entertaining and well-realized. And the most compelling Bruce Banner/Hulk character ever.

Dark Shadows

Fun, wacky, but typical Burton/Depp pairing. Entertaining though.

*raises hand*

^^ Great movie. Haven't seen it in years, though. Definitely add it to your list.

Outcast (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...tcast-2010.jpg


Pretty disappointed in this, especially since it received a bit of buzz around here... Really liked the concept, enjoyed the mythos, but thought that it was incredibly over-done, over-directed, and some of the acting was pretty poor (which really emphasized weak writing). Couldn't really get into it, and didn't finish it.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)


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


One of my absolutely positive favorite musicals ever. I can't get over how utterly clever and macabre the writing is - Musicals like this keep my bar high for musical theater (and are mainly the reason why I have such a low-tolerance for poorly-written musicals; just people people are singing doesn't mean that the audience can't hear the words). The movie is just plain fun, too - Steve Martin is utterly brilliant and completely steals the show. Not to mention, the animatronics are pretty impressive.



Still haven't seen the original Corman film - It's on Netflix, so I may check it out in the next couple of days.

5/5.

yeah i thought that movie was crap too,only good thing about that movie was the monster

I haven't but it is on my list.

Anyone seen Sheitan with Vincent Cassel. Heard good things and just found it on netflix.

It's a very interesting movie. Definitely at least worth a watch.

"Treasure Island" (2012)
-Eddie Izzard

Plot: IMDB
Young Jim Hawkins is the only one who can sucessfully get a schooner to a legendary Island known for buried Treasure. But aboard the ship is a mysterious cook named John Silver, whose true motivation on the journey challenges Jim's trust in the entire crew.

Phantom's Review: Decent, if a bit overly long version of the Stevenson classic. All the actors do a fine job and it's nice to see a wide range of accents among the pirates, but a four hours the film tends to drag in a few places. Not a very faithful adaptation, but still worth a viewing.

yeah....understand....:rolleyes:

Killer Elite

a bit muddled but serviceable action movie.

Statham did his usual fine job, Deniro didn't have much to do and Clive Owen was solid.

not a remake of the 70 movie with James Cann

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I know, I know!

"The Host" in 3D!
 

They converted The Host into a 3D version at the end of 2011. There's a Korean film festival in LA, called "Look East" that will be bringing the 3D cut to the States on June 23 & 24 at the Chinese Theaters in Hollywood. I'm working with the festival, so hoping to get any inside scoop before the film gets to the U.S. They're still locking down times, ticket prices, etc. but more info will be coming up on the website (LookEastFestival.com).

I'm a fan of the movie, but I've only seen it on DVD. Will be cool to see it on the big screen and even better to see it in THREE DIMENSIONS!
