Beowulf.
Interesting animation, of course...but the movie IMO wasn't all that great.
Nice music and action scenes - the rest just felt a bit empty.

Also - Has anyone seen "Lars & the real girl"?
Looks good, just wondering about it...

I loved Lars and the Real Girl.
Thought it was quirky

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fucked up movie if I ever saw one.

The 25th Hour.

watched Dazed & Confused

Rambo, The Eye, Witless Protection, Stir of Echoes, Hostel, Highlander, 3:10 to Yuma, Cars, Dirty dancing, The Ring (Remake), King Arthur

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All those I can remember since the last time I posted.

watched that one not long ago.

the only problem with a Larry Clark film is that you feel like a pedo-voyeur at times - the way he runs the camera on the bodies.
i never get the vibe that it's artistic - or done to purposefully make you feel uncomfortable - i get the feeling that he's just indulging himself.

otherwise - i did enjoy woods in this one as well.





Last seen :

finished the Triangle mini-series.

again - uneven but interesting.
not the most satisfying conclusion - but it was ok for a time waster

Grindhouse

30 Days of Night...I enjoyed it


******************spoiler******************

is this a new trend in Hollywood......depressing endings?

in this case - it was a refreshing change - at least there was some closure.

a lot easier to take than the mist.

30D.O.N stuck pretty closely to the original storyline, with a few differences cast within the vampire community/structure.
The ending was much the same, one of the definitive scenes in the original comic.

There's also a "prequel" movie available on dvd called "30d.o.n: blood trails" if anyone's interested, doesn't look half bad.

The Princess Bride

I'd like to see them make a movie based off of the 30 Days of Night: Rumors of the Undead novel. Still haven't seen the 30 DoN movie but I'll be adding that and the prequel to my Netflix queue. High up on the list, not down there in the 300s. :)

The Mist - 7/10
The best Stephen King adaptation film since The Green Mile IMO.

southland tales

its also on the fearnet. channel. Its pretty good.

Being John Malkovich

Pulp Fiction

The Running Man

hadnt seen it in a very long time. forgot how great it was.

"Well i hope you have enough room for my fist, because im going to ram it into your stomach, and break your god damn spine!"

The Mist

I feel like a bad fan for not catching this one in the theater, but I just bought it (autographed by Thomas Jane) and wathced it in b/w before seeing the original theatrical version. I loved it. The b/w presentation was stunning. The story is great and the ending was wonderful. A real horror flick that horrifies. The kids loved it, the wife loved it. A great old-tyme creature-feature! Good job, Darabont!

9/10

The Medusa Touch (1978)

The Adventures of Ford Fairlane

Dance of the Vampires.
An excellent, underrated entertaining film.

Dog Soldiers With Producers Commentary.

Up The Sandbox.

early 70's Barbra Streisand film dealing with motherhood Vs woman's lib.

not bad - funny in parts - the message was very heavy handed ..

but man o man, a perfect film to remind one just how beautiful she was back then. absolutely stunning.

Yeh? Her and stunning are two words that don't come together in my mind.

Lantana

I have been told to check this movie out for years, I finally caught it on late last night.

It droned a bit, like a lot of Aussie dramas tend to these days. But great performances all round.

6.5/10

check out some of her films from the 60's 70's and see if you dont sing a different tune after.

check out "what's up doc"

totally fell in love with her in that movie.

cant tell you where she went from being beautiful and loveable to the nutjob she is now ...


but even shelly winters was pretty - once.

Color Me Blood Red

Indeed. Polanski's great in this one.

The 25th Hour, with Spike Lee commentary.

Mean Creek

Considering how young the cast is, I was REALLY impressed with this one. Really good script and some great performances. The story doesn't really have any surprises, but it's well told nonetheless. Recommended...but it's definately not for everyone.

Watched Elephant recently, as well...great movie. Slow paced, but I loved the way the story was told. Plus the last scene is just fucking twisted.

Navy SEALS
kinda fun.

I Am Legend.
it was pretty good, actually.
exceeded my expectations.

I thought Elephant was great.

The Woods - Not a terrible plot but it definitely wasn't well-executed.

The Mist - A lot funner than I thought it'd be. Never read the book, although I definitely will now.

Agree; definitely it's a pretty good film & I liked it too.

-Death Wish.
-Memoirs Of A Geisha.

we ended up watching the 2nd episode of the origional Kung Fu series,
and one from Brisco County Jr.

I hope Bruce Campbell comes to the next con, my kid LOVES Brisco County and would flip if he fgot to meet him.

forest Gump




"Life is like a box of chocolates,you never know when somethings gonna jump up and bite you on the ass."

Flesh for Frankenstein..........Udo Kier is SOOO over the top in this one and I love the Brooklyn accent on Joe Dallesandro among all the foreign ones. "Day cut off my frends hed"....Yo Adrian!:D

I like to watch this one every few years......along with Blood for Dracula.

good campy fun
