The Purge Anarchy


Didnt like this one at all. Such a cool concept but so far the films havent delivered like they could on this subject. Even though the first one just turned into a home invasion movie I still enjoyed it more than this one.

Agreed. This was a fantastic film, very overlooked.


.....and the word 'tomfoolery' should be used more often. ; )

death dreams

a ghost story/psych thriller made for tv movie from the early 90`s. had a very nice feel to it, some very good performances from its 2 leads and was shot very nicely, all on a budget too. looks dated now but it passed the time. 7/10

triangle

headfuck psychological thriller set at sea, dont want to spoil it for anyone who hasnt seen it but i thought it was very very good. 8.5/10

I gave up on John Wick after half an hour. It's Keanu Reeves for crying out loud. Why does he keep making action movies? He suck!!!

I got 2 movies, Johnny Mnemonic and The Matrix (the first one). He was also good as the supporting role in The Gift.

Have you seen River's Edge from 1986?
I thought that was a decent movie.

And how about Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...n-emoticon.gif

Excellent Movie.

I liked Man of Tai Chi (his directorial debut) though the ending was a let down.

Of course both Matrix and Point Break are excellent. Constantine wasn't the worst even if the casting was..I liked My Own Private Idaho when it came out but haven't seen it since.

Never saw the Gift, what's that about? Yes, Johnny M was cool, & original Martix was superb.

Best Reeves films:

The Matrix
Bogus Journey
Dangerous Liaisons - Here's one for you, Raegan, great film, it's a drama.
Excellent Adventure
Point Break
Speed - chics tended to like this film
River's Edge - was strange, but good
Johnny Mnemonic
Constantine - was pretty good

haven't seen the Gift, Man of Tai Chi, My Own Private Idaho. I heard The Devil's Advocate was good, but haven't seen it. A Scanner Darkly was interesting. Read the description before you see it. It's pretty heady. But even if you're an intellectual, doesn't mean you'll like it.

Oh yes, Speed and The Devil's Advocate was damn good also.

The Gift is a SERIOUS supernatural murder mystery by Sam Raimi.

"Against the Sun" 8/10

Three men are sitting in a lifeboat... That pretty much sums up the story. TRUE story, that is.

If the stranded-at-sea part in Unbroken had been made into a whole movie I'm sure it would've come really close looking like this one.

Absolutely an amazing film. The imagery, the gore, the silence makes this film perfect. This film is laced with artistry and you can defiantly see that Phil is a perfectionist and a horror fan. My favorite scene is in front of the mirror. If you see the movie, you'll understand. : )

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS 2014


Mockumentary on the lifestyle of vampires. Think I built this one up too much in my head. Fair to middling.

Hate Crime, 4/10. 2013

http://bestmoviesevernews.com/wp-con...0074258191.jpg

Every person in this film was annoying as fuck. The family never looked terrified and their sniveling pleads were so fake and stupid. I paused it and went to sleep and finished it this mourning. This film was blah but it had a few scenes that were ok but lasted only a few minutes. I gave it credit for that.

I got an online screener from the director. 200 DVD's will be released the first week in Feb.

I did a thread on this film and will update it, there are links in there too. : )

It truly is an amazing film.

THE RESURRECTED AKA SHATTERBRAIN 1992

Probably one of my all time favourites. Each time it gets better and better.
Based on the short novel by Lovecraft " The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", the film follows the nightmarish consequences of Charles finding his 5×greatgrandfather's diary.

Cool movie indeed.
I really can't understand why they're not making more good movies based on his work. Can't be that hard.

a hunting trip goes wrong and a feud between 2 families escalates. a very slow to start with coming of age movie, beautifully shot with some great performances from a small cast. 8/10

not really watched too many movies this past week, its been a slow one.

THE DESCENT PART 2 2009

A traumatized young women helps a search team find the group of friends she left behind while exploring caves.

The sequel is definitely more "Hollywood" than the first.

That's probably the most accurate way to describe that one.

CRAWLSPACE (2012). Despite a lot of scenes that reminded me of other films, really enjoyed this low budget Aussie release. Quirky and audacious..think I'll give it another spin after I do some shoveling today. ****

Angra 01-29-2015 04:22 PM

Not a lot of good horror flicks coming out at the moment, huh?

Just unwatchable C-flicks, if you ask me.

The Interview
5/10


Quote:

Dave Skylark and producer Aaron Rapoport run the celebrity tabloid show "Skylark Tonight." When they land an interview with a surprise fan, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, they are recruited by the CIA to turn their trip to Pyongyang into an assassination mission.
It was on Netflix, so I checked it out. Lots of people like silly & crude humor entertainment, like a buddy of mine... if something crude is being said or done, he's lovin it. That & fast talkin insults... cable shows Archer, Venture Bros, Eastbound & Down, he's there 24/7. Not my cup of tea. But if you love that stuff, you'll like The Interview. There's decent production value, but there's no intellectual humor stimulation or cleverness that you might find in films like Top Secret & Monty Python films.

Solaris 2002

9/10


Quote:

A troubled psychologist is sent to investigate the crew of an isolated research station orbiting a bizarre planet.
What's your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)? Do you like emotionally visceral films? If it's high for either of these, I think you'll love this film. This is sci-fi that doesn't include exploding spaceships; rather exploring the nature of humanity, but on a very personal level.

It's rich in mood & atmosphere, with the music & Steven Soderbergh's direction tightly woven. It hit me like a ton of bricks when I first saw it. It's not a tricky or intellectually taxing film, it's experiential & visceral in a high-EQ-level sort of way.

If you see it, don't invest yourself into how the film is going to end. It's not that kind of film. The ending is completely arbitrary. You don't want to spend your time on a roller coaster wondering how it's going to end. Likewise, the ending has nothing to do with the impact & enjoyment of the film; it's the experience of the journey... I think it spotlights that our understanding & response to life is what matters.

Seems there's a rather large love-it or hate-it divide on this film. In my opinion, it has to do with the viewer's focus. Brings to mind, early in the film, at a cocktail party, the main character (Clooney) & the beautiful Rheya (Natascha McElhone) are exchanging interested glances from across the room. When he finally approaches her, just as he begins to speak, she cuts him off & says, "Don't blow it." That's what the film is about, getting it right.
