Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Co-written by Dario Argento and Sergio Leone, how could this western not be awesome? Disappoint it did not. Sergio Leone is a master of scene building. Every scene that deserves significance gets attention, and like the watched pot that does not boil, his sense of timing is brilliant. The cast is perfect, with each character's backstory a secret, driving element of things to come. When a director gets his cast to really act, where we understand the players by the looks on their faces, the tormented souls from their eyes, that is when have something more than a simple flick, and that is what we have here, meat to sink our teeth into. Merci beaucoup.

Dead Snow - Pretty solid for what it is. Could have used more of both the gore and humor, but a fun enough watch. The Norwegian audio just adds to the humor of it all since the English dubbing was worse than a old-school Chinese kungfu flick and simply unbearable.

Just watched "Happy birthday to me" directed by J.Lee Thompson, a notorious
film director from the Cannon film studios. Why they never made a follow up
to this movie I will never know, they could call it "Happy birthday to me part II
Many happy returns".:rolleyes:

Well if you arent too picky Elvis there are a ton of really entertaining movies with that theme,many of them released in the mid 70's after Jaws hit the screen.Please keep in mind that I am a big fan of B cinema and check out some of these Titles

Day of the Animals-1977. Leslie Nielsen as you have NEVER seen him!Basically the deal is that animals go berserk from fluorocarbons in the air and the depletion of our ozone and attack a bunch of hikers led my Christopher George.

Grizzly-1976. Follows the plot of everybody's favorite shark movie so closely that the makers of the film gave up and advertised it as Jaws with claws.

Night of the Lepus-1972.Whats more terrifying than giant mutated meat eating rabbits?

Food of the Gods-1976.Bert I Gordon directed.The giant animal fx vary between fairly impressive and absolutely terrible.

The Swarm-1978.Hysterically bad killer bee flick.Im sure you have seen this one or at least heard it mentioned as one of the worst movies of all time.Directed by disaster movie king Irwin Allen

Thats just a few EC.I hope you get a chance to check them out and you enjoy them.If you do you will find this sub-genre plentiful and mostly a hell of a lot of fun.

Thanks Krell I'll have a look into those ones I'm pretty big on the trashier/cult type of deal so some of those sound great. Been meaning to check out Grizzly and Night of the Lepus for ages!

Last flicks I watched from that subgenre were Alligator and Piranha dug both of 'em.

"Avatar"

While the film was visually amazing, I found the plot to be boring and un-original, This was a major dissappointment.

Yeh that's what it looked like to me. I'm sure I'll see it one day but it'd just be a pretty hollow experience and mainly eye candy.

Cameron is overated as fuck. He hasn't made anything cool or interesting since The Abyss.
