If all goes as planned, which it rarely does, I'll be watching "Stay" and "Last Woman on Earth" tonight...

So far so good... Last Woman on Earth Ive been working my way through the "50 Horror Classics" boxset for quite some time. I decided to start with Last Man on Earth as soon as I got the box, then finish with Last Woman on Earth once Id watched to other 49. Today was the end of that era, I finally watched Last Woman on Earth, and though it wasnt amazing or anything, it was still worth the wait. The actors dont give the best performances, but they definatly have their moments. Even though he is portrayed as the "bad guy", I really liked and felt sorry for Antony Carbone's character. Robert Towne didnt write the greatest script for this, but his character was pretty well acted. As for the "last woman" herself, she was beautiful and farly talented. The plot was nothing new and drug in places, but it held my interest for the most part. Despite popular opinion, I really liked the ending, one of the highlights of the film. All in all I recomend checking this out. Not alot of action, but it's usually interesting. 7/10

Amazing, I actually got through both films I planned to watch tonight...
Stay I guess this was a decent enough film, but it was far from perfect. It was very well acted, especially on Gosling's part. He almost reminded me of Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko. MacGreggor was pretty good as well, but not nearly as good as he has been in the past. The plot was OK, I guess, but the director ruined any surprises it may have had in store. To avoid spoilers I'll just say this: Some very obvious and intrusive symbolism, as well as the way the camera showed certain people/objects, revealed much of the outcome long before it should have. For that reason I was pretty disappointed with the ending, though there were some great visuals. Last but not least, I wish that they would have focused more on MacGreggor's character near the end. We see a lot of him, but I wish they could have gone more into what he was thinking and feeling. To sum up, I guess this one's worth renting, but I wouldn't spend too much on it. 5.5/10

Hostel- 5/5
FINALLY!!! I'M OUT OF MY MOVIE SLUMP!!! God, do I feel good! Hostel finally broke my slump, and did way much more than that. It caught my attention from the beginning, grabbing me tightly by the balls and not letting go until the end credits! And that's a compliment! I expected Hostel to be good, but not 5 star good. Man, was I proved wrong! With some nice gory delight and Eli Roth's best so far, Hostel has it all and more! I loved it! Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis- 3/5 Now, I have never seen the original Return of the Living Dead. Nor did I see any of the sequels (until now, of course). Yes, I know. It's sad. But this shit happens sometimes. That's a part of the movie life that I live in. I've still got some classics I need to watch for the first time. But, as for tonight, I watched a low-budget sequel. And a pretty entertaining one to say the least. Necropolis did have a gym bag full of bad flaws. Such as the tronixide (I think that's what it was called) turning the humans (and animals) into zombies was dumb. A lot of the backstory (which I will not give away) was dumb as hell, and the ending was too comical to be mentioned (though I just did). But, I couldn't help but enjoy myself watching a bunch of dumb teens shooting the holy hell out of some brain-craved zombies. Oh, and of course, watching some teens get their bloody death. And speaking of blood, there was enough here to boot to make any bloodhound like me happy. Overall, Necropolis was enjoyable at most.

Eraserhead
Ok, it didn't help that I was pretty tired when I started watching this movie. Ok, "pretty tired" doesn't cover it, I was exhausted. But I was excited about finally seeing this movie. Unfortunately, tiredness outweighed the excitement, and I had to stop the movie most of the way through to have a quick (2 or 3 hour) nap. Here's how out of it I was: With the DVD player screensaver still on, I half-way woke up 40 minutes after I stopped the movie and sat up waiting for something to happen, because I'd forgotten I stopped the movie. Normally, that would be a criticism of the movie for being boring, but in this case it's my own dumb fault for watching the movie when I should've been sleeping. But even through all that, the movie was cool and messed up in all the right ways. 4/5

Yellow Jacket 3/5 for Necropolis? Your're on your own there. However I'm righ with you on Hostel. So we just happened to watch the same movies at the same time. No point, I'm just saying is all.

My favorite silent film was Hunchback. I thought it was hilarious. I cant wait until I have time to get to the rest of them though. I've seen a few that I know are good (Last Man on Earth, NotLD) but the rest I am eager to get to. Once I do, my mini reviews will be posted here. (But if you have interest in reading any of the mini reviews I already wrote for the ones I watched, click the link in my sig.)

Austin...I personally think the first scary movie was the only one I'm remotely consider watching again. The follow-up sequels have sucked so far (haven't seen 4 myself), as did "date movie".
I started watching Neil Geimens "MirrorMask"...tripped out...thus far I'd reccomend it, visually very strange...

The House by the Cemetary - Lucio Fulci classic. Lots of blood and gore to please any gorehound. Typical Italian horror genre cheese, but quality none the less 8/10
