yeah... i have been watching tons of lower budget horror films that have been shot in the last few years.. and nothing is holding up.. I liked that it is was shot during the day for the most part.. ( a budgetary thing, but it still had an effect) ... I liked the very first killing scene because I didn't think the first sister was going to die.. other than that it was crap, but fuck it.. I watched the whole thing..

Pineapple Express - B- , not as funny as their other movies.
Mulberry St. - Crap, A rat zombie movie with decent attacking,but no scares what so ever..

I'm with despare. Good performances, some good dialogue, but that's about it.

i had watched this one quite some time ago and forgot to post about it.

la rivière du hibou (an occurrence at owl creek bridge) (1962)

a wonderful short film based off of the ambrose bierce story of the same name.
well-acted, well-paced, the composition is lush and dream-like...







******SPOILER**********






...which is appropriate.







*****END SPOILER********





the bad thing here was that the netflix disc has an absolutely horrendous transfer on it. the picture is muddy, sometimes beyond recognition, the audio is filled with pops and hisses, which are often louder than the dialogue and sound.
however, that is a testament to the film itself. despite a wretched transfer, it was still incredibly enjoyable.

The Mothman 08-17-2008 06:12 PM

Tropic thunder,
It was actually really enjoyable, I laughed a lot. RDJ was awesome.

urgeok2 08-17-2008 06:37 PM

Dirty work

a Norm MacDonald film I've been looking for for ages - found it yesterday in a cheap bin.

still made me laugh ... actually everything Norm MacDonald does and says makes me laugh.

I have to track that one down. Saw it when I was fairly young (like 9-10) and it blew my mind, still remember most of it in detail, but haven't seen it since...

_____V_____ 08-17-2008 09:34 PM

Anchorman.


A gem of a movie! I loved the gentle humorous poke that this flick delivers. Will Ferrell is stupendous, and the movie might be one of the best comedies in recent times. And the timing of some of the gags is perfection. My only complaint - it had such a nice premise for being a really biting satire too, and it could have been that effortlessly.

Nevertheless, nice flick.



Rating - * * * ½

yeah, it's amazing.
however, just be careful ordering a copy. like i said, the version i received was wretched and the sound was just as miserable.

i'd like to purchase one myself, but now i'm a little scared to do so.

no i didnt (Saget directed Dirty Work)

I did see him do stant-up once though and it's still the funniest stand-up i've ever seen.

he's a funny guy no doubt, however his part on the roast was painful to watch.

night of the hunter (1955)

i absolutely love this movie. truly one of the greatest thrillers ever filmed.
goes way below the surface and never ceases to impress me every time i see it.

Bob saget is actually awesome at stand up. he is dirty as hell, and it is even funnier because he has such a bland, hateable good-guy persona from tv.

I like Bob Saget's Stand UP.. i think it;s pretty good shit.. at least he's honest.. His part in the The Aristocrats was fucking amazing.. that movie better be in the comedy tournament too...

I honestly think that was the point. He used tame insults, probably from some silly insults book, and I really think it was the purpose of his set to F with the audience. I thought it was funny, but I was looking at it differently I guess.

Factotum

I dug Barfly and Tales Of Ordinary Madness more but this was still a decent watch.

Rollerball

Fuckin' killer! I saw it a few years back and didn't think much of it but it kicked my ass this time round. THX-1138 meets The Running Man. Is the remake as stupid as it looks?

Bronx Warriors 2

Liked this even more than the original. Henry Silva always makes a great bad guy. I guess this sort of shit isn't for everyone but I really dig the Italian knockoffs. Watching this just show how far off the mark Doomsdaywas.

Hell yes.

The remake is a mess. Of course.

looked really good (i have a soft spot for this flick - mainly because of lilliards shaggy which was pure magic)

The Mist with the audio commentary turned on. Frank Darabont's enthusiasm is infectious, its great to listen to someone who absolutely LOVES what they do. I have rarely listened to someone who enjoys what they do so thoroughly.


He also justifies the ending pretty well.
