Fulci had so much respect for this movie that he wanted to make his a kind of "second" film. Not really a sequel, but more like he couldn't compare his movie to Romero's.

lol Okay, makes sense. Yeah, Fulci wasn't much for tension and great dialog, but he sure more than made up for that with cool, nasty gore scenes. :)

Anyway, this weekend I saw:
*The Fog ('05)- 1.5/5...pretty damn horrible.

Maybe I might just wait for that to go to video. :)

House of Wax (remake)

There was some alright gore and Paris Hilton's poor acting ability didn't even really stand out because 1. she wasn't in it that much and 2. the rest of the cast wasn't that great either. The plot was similar to the original but it has definately been modeernized and given a Hollywood touch. It was right on par with what I expected which was some cheesy entertainment, but nothing spectacular.

C+

I dunno.... seems to me that "Hollywood touch" has ruined some otherwise promising movies that could've been good but ended up being complete garbage.

Zombi 2 - As stated above Fulci's homage of sorts to Romero's Dawn of the Dead (Zombi for the Euros). Anyway, not as good of a movie but hey you've got a zombie fighting a shark and a cool eye gouge scene.

Land of the Dead unrated - Liked the movie in the theatre and enjoyed it at home.

Amazon Women From the Moon - Weird comedy sketch/50s sci-fi fake... interesting and funny I think I'll pick it up.

Forgot to add From Dusk Till' Dawn, that's getting toward the end now. Always a great watch, I need the set...

Totally dude. It's fuckin' epic! :D Definatley one of my favorites too ...... apart from great brawls in The Warriors.

They Live fight scene is definitely up there!
It's utterly raw and the entire time that it's
happening, you can't help but root for
both of them...if you haven't listened to
the commentary of this movie with Roddy
Piper and John Carpenter, do so!

Funnily on the same note, it's begun to
dawn on me why John Carpenter stressed
so many times, "it's not my movie...the
director has his own ideas". I refer, of
course, to the remake of The Fog.

After sitting through the film last night, I
understand why.

The Ring Two unrated.

Candyman. Is that a classic? I dont know but it was a great film!

"Unrated".... :( I wish that actually meant something today other than a cheesy marketing ploy. And the levels of gore of new films today aren't even as heavy as "The Thing" with an "R" rating in 1981.
