sleepaway camp.

crap, i didn't see that little twist coming.

now go watch the crying game :D

Watched Seven again - after seeing it mentioned in a post - I had forgotten just how good it is. Think I'll just have to watch 12 Monkeys tonight - love Bruce Willis character - think it's one of his best films.

i would say that these ones show his range (far more than the others mentioned.)

i also appreciate his work and wish he'd take more challneging roles.

one shocking wee-wee shot is good enough for me, thank you very much !

True Romance - with a cast like that how could it go wrong - sheer genius

12 Monkeys - one of my all time favourites

Snatch - amazing. That accent though is hilarious but it works so completely. There's a rumour though that he came to Ireland to try and get a handle on the accent, whilst here he ended up having to give a statement at a local police station and the police refused to believe that he really was Brad Pitt. The mad Irish for you.

Hopefully his next lot of films will be of the same standard - the pretty boy role wears a bit thin after a while.

so you must have avoided HDC for a while about a year ago ? :D

Land of the dead, lol with lots of funny stuff

like the plague. especially since it was the wee wee of someone i know quite well.

my corneas burned for about a week after the first sighting... damn you urge.

:D

Kingdom of Heaven

well, not had chance to post my latest movie viewings so here goes...

cinderella Man

I throughly enjoyed this. I really really like Russell Crowe, ever since the wonderful Romper Stomper his performances generally have been outstanding. This was no exception. Throughly enjoyable film, not sure what the critics made of it but I am giving it a whopping...


8/10

Millers Crossing

I was fascinated by this movie from start to finish. Not just a gangster flick but alot lot more. I wont go into details in order not to spoil it but it's well worth a watch.

7/10


The Mummy Returns

After watching the Mummy years after everyone had seen it I picked this film up on the cheap knowing what to expect and it did not disapoint in that sense. I didn't think it was quite as good as the mummy but good fun afternoon viewing all the same.

6.5/10


The Intruder


After watching these I needed some good slasher relief! This one is a true classic - the typical deranged bad guy with a slight whodunnit (which as normal with slashers isn't too hard to to figure out). Has some brutal killings (I have the unrated version but according to my friends who have seen other releases - this version kicks ass) - I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem.

8/10


Guess Who


well, I didn't expect much from this film and to be honest it delivered in parts. Yes, there were funny moments but when the film runs for ver 1hr40mins and it's a comedy of this kind then you need a bit more of a happy ending etc. There are some cringe-worthy moments (note; the black jokes at the table) which make for uneasy laughs/viewing but I can't help but feel they really could have made more of this film than they did. Oh well...

5.5/10



Wolf Creek

I know this film has been getting a savaging on here lately so maybe that is why I am going to sway from the overall horror.com opinion and say 'hell - I liked this movie'. I wasn't expecting much (after reading the many poor reviews)and what I got was a down right dirty horror movie. It was extrememly slow at the beginning but when it did finally get into it I definetely enjoyed the mid/latter part of the film.

7.5/10

That might've been your little fantasy dude but the movie was perfectly fine without it.




That's it. I don't put that on Jack either, should've faded out on top of the building imo. It just wasn't needed.

i blame everyone but J.B.
it could have been caught at the time ...
Jackson was obviously happy with it ..


if it was the 1st line of the movie we wouldnt have remembered it .. unfortunately it was the last.

Perhaps it can be blamed on the fact that I havent seen him in alot of movies. I enjoyed Ocean's 11, but I think his character could have been alot better. I didnt enjoy 12 Monkeys at all; I got interupted half-way through watching it, and I never bothered to finish it. It just wasnt enjoyable, and Pitt's character really got on my nerves. He was just a mess in Troy, pure eye-candy. He was as wooden as the damn horse. I'll admit that he was great in Se7en, but until Spy Game that was the only movie I liked him in. There's a few movies on your list that Ive been wanting to see, such as Fight Club and Kalifornia, so I guess I'll have to get around to renting those.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

you've NEVER seen fight club ?!

wow

harry potter and the goblet of fire. best one of the series, imo.

If you want a testament to his talent as an actor, definately pick up Kalifornia. His performance in that was just mindblowing, partially because it was just so different then what we're used to seeing him do.

Dude! Go rent Fight Club, Kalifornia and True Romance right NOW! What the hell have you been waiting for?

Craaaaaazy.... How can you have never seen Fight Club? I thought everyone had seen that by now! :eek:

Night of Bloody Horror

Well, I've been watching one of those low budget horror 4-pack DVDs from the 70s in between Netflix mailings and so far I'm 0 for 2. This movie was a stinker. Gore was minimal, plot completely predictable. The editing was horrible and the lighting varied greatly from shot to shot within the same scenes. There was a minimal amount of decent acting, but also a fair share of terrible over-dubbing. All in all a really, really bad film. And not in a 'good' bad sort of a way that's enjoyable either, but in the 'bad' bad kind of way that is just dumb and you wish it would end.

Don't waste your time on this one.

I actually almost bought that last week, but I noticed that it's R rated. Oh the curses of youth...;)

The Frighteners

From the first time I watched it over a year ago this has been one of my favourite films. The opening credits alone are enough to impress most people : Micheal J. Fox, Jeffery Combs, R. Lee Ermey, Dee Wallace Stone, effects by Rick Baker, written and directed by Peter Jackson...a veritable who's-who of Hollywood and horror. The plot is incredible, full of surprises, laughs, scares and fun. I can vouch for the fact that it can stand up to numerous viewings; other than Dracula and House on Haunted Hill, I cant think of a film that I've watched as many times as this, and it keeps getting better every time. The actors are phenomenal, the effects are very realistic and cool, the plot is interesting and very original...this is basically a perfect movie. I can only think of a handful of films that deserve a perfect 10, but this is certainly one of them.

10/10

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

Funny little shlock film, in the so bad it's good catagory for me though. I loved the way the film was done, good stuff and I'm glad I got to see this one.

la morte cammina con i tacchi alti
la morte accarezza a mezzanotte

damn that american rating system. shit, son, i'll come and rent it for you if it means that you get to watch the movie. fight club as well. :p


anyhoo... exotica.

Oh, Im sure my parents would let me get it if I asked, they just didnt happen to be with me:)

Equilibrium

6.5/10 Mixed thoughts.

The Adam's Family....Hey hellfire do you like this movie?

Dawn of the Dead - (original - '78) absolutely fantastic. Anybody seen the remake - is it worth a watch?

The remake is definately worth a watch - has some good effects.

However, for me it just can't come close to the original. Romero's Dawn of the Dead seems to me to have a rhythm and pacing about it that is just right. Makes it feel a lot shorter than its running time. The characters develop a depth about them that somehow doesn't require lengthy character-building scenes outside of the main plotline. A great piece of film making.

I have to say I wasn't that sure about it before I watched it but I got so engrossed in it I didn't even notice how long it was. It's definately up there now with my all time favourites - I'll have to watch the remake now though just for comparison sake if nothing else.

Why aren't there more films like this?:(

I know what you mean... I watched this movie a few weeks ago, for the first time in a long while (a few years) and enjoyed it so much that I replayed it straight away to listen to the director's commentary.

Have you seen Suspiria? Totally different movie I know, but another film that has that elusive atmosphere that transcends the subject matter. Masterful.

Is one of them that this film is tremendously over-rated for a second rate Matrix rip off?



Dawn of the Dead is simply spectacular. Along with Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it is one of the two best horror films of the 70s.

The remake was pretty good as well, but it can't come close to the artisticness of the original. Lots of good gore and it's well acted though.

Suspiria seemed like Argento was trying too hard to be visceral and atmospheric. It seemed forced. Other than that, it was a pretty good movie, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near the original Dawn of the Dead's league.

That's what I'm talking about - Texas Chainsaw Massacre and now Dawn of the Dead - there just doesn't seem to be films made to the same standard. Now they seem to rely far too heavily on special effects (which don't get me wrong when used well can help create an amazing film) but the special effects seem to be used in place of plot and characters. What's going on, is it just easier for the directors to take an insubstantial plotline and rubbish acting and hope that the special effects cover the multitude of sins - because they don't. Anyway rant over.

As for Suspiria - no haven't seen it will put it on my "to watch list" which is getting far too long!

The original Dawn of the Dead...it's hard to describe how much I enjoyed it when I first watched it. I was completely glued to the set. I my cousin and I looked at each other after it was over in disbelief, rewound it and watched it again while drinking some beers. I haven't seen it in years, which makes me very sad.


As for last seen movie: Walk the Line.

I've always liked Johnny Cash. I never really read much about his life, so I can't attest as to the movies accuracy. It was a great watch, though. I thought J. Phoenix did a great job. I haven't seen a movie I liked R. Witherspoon this much in since Freeway. All in all, a solid watch.

8.5/10

oh man ..
how much of this film was even comparable to the matrix ?
a 2 minute fight in the hallway ?

people are grasping to that comparrison because its the closest they can come to nailing some kind of label to it.

i enjoyed the 1st matrix - dont get me wrong ... but Equilibrium had just as much going for it (better acting for one) and the plot was just as engaging.

Equilibrium definately borrowed from sources - but literary ones, not film.
It was a mix of Farenheight 451, Brave New World, and 1984 - yet somehow came off fresh and new and with nice FXs that betrayed the moderate budget.

people hype the film more than what some people might like because it caught the fans unaware. the most common thing said is "how the hell did this get under the radar ?"
It is a fantastic film - that feels even moreso because it was unknown and people were taken by suprise at how good it was because of the lack of advertising.

the only hype is word of mouth.

how can that be constrewed as over-rated ? its the voice of the fans.

Agreed...I'm a bit sick of the constant matrix comparisons...there just arent enough reasons...they're both decent films...you don't have to try and hate one to like the other.

Last THING I watched was a cartoon I randomly downloaded called "clone high", this here is a funny, good quality show. I'd reccomend it.

prozac nation

of course i do ! i grew up with the addams family. christina ricci was my first girl crush.

ah, memories :p

dead or alive 2

I agree with bwind22. Equilibrium is totally overrated in here.

Yes, it has Christian Bale staring it. Yes, it has a semi great story..... And that´s about it.
