Deathless Devil

Second half of this Turkish double feature.

LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM---It's been a long time since I've seen this one.

What a trip....Ken Russell must have done a lot of drugs, back in the day.

It's on Fearnet

"The road" 8/10

Hilarious from beginning to end.



Seriously tho, what was the point of this story? Did it have any kind of morale? And what's with the ending? Was is good, was it bad.... wtf??

Good movie nevertheless.

Rose Red...7/10

No motivation today, the wife is going to a meeting for the 3 day walk, I finished everything I wanted to get done yesterday...

Starting Twin Peak today, watching the movie now and then the show. Seems interesting...

my thought also...I enjoyed it but wanted to slice my wrist after watching it.

ok..not really....but I DID need a beer after it.

Despair is a sad thing yes.... I'm going to bed.

Nity nite

Been on a bit of a catch-up lately.

The Children - 7/10
Replace the zombies in the zombie formula with virus-stricken kids and you got The Children. Actually pretty good...any movie where kids are killed is aces in my book.

Pandorum - 2/10
Massive let-down on this one from me. I think I expected it to be a different kind of movie than it was (truth be told, I was expecting something more supernatural like Event Horizon). Didn't like that they advertised the movie with the "peeling off the skin" cryo-freeze part as if it was supposed to be something terrifying, and then when you actually watch it it's some downplayed bullshit that is an after effect of being in the cryofreeze. I was expecting something more sinister...I dunno, bio-spill? possession? Anything.

Also Quaid has been phoning in his roles for awhile now..."Bower? You there? Priviate Bower? You Copy Bower????...............................BOWER????" . That was basically the extent of his role here. Terrible.

The Thaw - 6/10
Surprisingly entertaining, though not very "good". These Ghosthouse Pictures movies actually aren't too bad from what I have seen.
It's shot pretty clean and it's definitely a formula horror flick, but it's got some decent creepy-crawly and vomit moments. Definitely a good flick to watch if you get freaked out by those bot-flies.

Plague Town - 6/10
English survivalist horror about a family that gets lost out in the country while trying to go for a nice "quality time" vacation with the family. In a very Hills Have Eyes kind of way, they just happened to stop in the worst part ever, near a town full of birth defected mutants that like to steal people in hopes of breeding the genetic defects out of their system. Generally, not a plot I'm too thrilled out...the "makin baybeez" bullshit is old and tired to me. It's not shocking, it's stupid....but happily, they don't really go to the lengths that some of the other movies in the genre go to to get their point across (Hills have eyes 2 (2007) is the biggest example there).

The movie is full of flaws that make it hard to give anything higher than a 6, but I did like it and their were actually some really creepy parts...like this bitch:

Worth seeing once, for sure.

Lake Mungo---very interesting little "mockumentary" style film. slow build with a pretty good payoff.

"Dread" 4/10

The gore was good. The story blew.

Actually I thought it was meant to end on a positive note...

The boy is rescued by a 'normal family' proving there is still humanity left to carry 'the fire' and not every reduced to be cannibalistic animals...

Went to see this incredible tons of fun flick yesterday and despite the lack of cider during the showing I still enjoyed it immensely....Any one who saw the trailer and expected anything different needs a shuriken to the eye...

Typical story - Renegade ninja turns his back on his hard but fair Bonsai Growing family to GO NOMAD...Actually his family aren't really that nice, infact they're a clad of Ninja who have been carrying out covert, secret and untracable assassinations for centuries all over the world..I know, a little hard to swallow since their leave every crime scene littered with severed limbs and torsos peppered with throwing stars....

Well all this is secondary to scenes of Ninjas flipping the fuck out and cutting the heads off everyone while ninja guitar music wails in the background..All the fights consist of random body parts being removed and flopping to the floor as pyjama clad kung fuers spin like dervishes whirling kusari and taking each others eyes out..



As least a 100 million pixals of blood is used in every scene...My only problem is that it should have been in 3D - and that I shoulda brought cider too. It also lacked the Naked Ninjitsu and flaoty spiders of the amazing NINJA the Final Duel....

Yea, but who says they weren't killed and eaten the next day? :rolleyes:

Oh, no man. The movie is supposed to come after you watch the show.
I guess it's not a huge deal, but there are a few big reveals in the show that you'll already know now.

Opera (1987). i am finally starting to see some love in Dario Argento. Before i was too stuck on the forced acting and plot holes and such. After viewing Opera, his movies are more about style, atmosphere, and that creepy and nomadic camera. It is almost as if the characters might detract the viewer from the real artistic flair were they to shine too much. While the stories themselves are rather chunky, the hidden gems are found in some of the crazy imagination that he mixes into these slasher classics. The kills are definitely classic Dario. Ashe.

Oops. I watched the movie before the show too.

the big lebowski

Identity. I kind of hated it a bit. All that build up to get me caring about the characters, and in the end I just stopped caring because SPOILERS they're not real. And finding out who the killer was was the easiest thing ever and terribly cliched.

Funny.

I loved it for all the reasons you hated it.

See how much your taste sucks, honey. :)

doghouse.so much better than what i thought itd be like.made me chuckle a bit too.

Cold Souls (2009)

http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/p...mallposter.jpg

Paul Giamatti (played by Paul Giamatti himself) feels burdened by his soul, so he decides to store it temporarily for a time; later, when he tries to get it back but finds it had disappeared! or may be illegally smuggled to Russia!!

It may sound like a similar story from the mind of Kaufman (Being John Malkovich or ESOSM) but it's really a pretty original & interesting premise with fantastic dark humor all over where as usually Giamatti delivered a wonderfully amusing performance. Recommended.

Pure Blood (2000)

A weird dreadful South African Indie horror.

Bully
why is everyone always fucking naked?

Because Larry Clark told them to be...he likes it that way..

Zombieland

Kinda lost interest half way through but it was enjoyable enough

The Ruins (2008). Overall, a fairly solid horror entry. The strength of this flick is in its honesty. It simply tells a horror based story without tricks or winks. Instead, this was a well told, and rather well acted, tale of things gone horribly wrong with nary a chance to get better. Sprinkle in some boobs and some skull-wrenching gore and we have the perfect ingredients for a competent horror flick. There were some beautifully shot scenes was well, making good use of the filming location (which was actually Australia). Definitely worth a watch. Ashe.

awaken the dead

You loved it, right? ;)

Hausu (House) (1977)

Absolute cinematic madness, and more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
If you haven't seen this absolutely unique work of frenzied filmmaking, do it soon.
Criterion should be putting it out later this year.

I am Legend

All pretty good apart from the ending. Didn't make sense.

FROZEN

Go see it! Not a horror film, but a tight suspense tale told well. A white-knuckler.

8/10

Session 9. It was great.

Hey Stranger:)




Surrogates-it was ok, much more sad than I was expecting, definitely wasn't expecting to cry through most of it

The Woodsman (2004). How do you make a great movie starting with difficult subject matter? Apparently, you cast Kevin Bacon. This awkward flick revolves around a recently paroled child molester, enough to ward off the most fanatic of movie goers. That he does a sublime job with his portrayal of a man whose demons are just below the surface is incredible. His character is like that of a remorseful yet stony statue that threatens to go rogue at any second. His was not the only great performance. In fact, the whole cast is wonderful. i think that one of my favs was Mos Def as the intruding cop. The fairytale scene was magnificent in its portrayal. The story here was perfect, the direction solid, and the camera-work effective. The subject matter: icky, and presented with a directionless moral compass. Ashe.

District 9. First watch. Heard some negative stuff about this one, some positive, so didn't really know what to expect. You can stick me on the positive feedback pile though, thought it was quality.

First you made me laugh then you made me feel really sad the fact that you cried through surrogates. ooohhhh. ;)

I've watched heaps of flicks since I posted last, anyway, a few I watched this week.

Funny people.

I can't remember the directors name, so there is my point. It's the last time I watch one of your fucking movies mate, I said that before but then gave in when someone else was watching knocked up and then this time thought I would give it a shot as I .like some of Sandlers recent work. But look, just stay the fuck away from me, ok!

3/10

Moon

This was so much better than I expected. The first time I saw a trailer for it, the trailer was shit, so I stayed clear, but Sam Rockwell was awesome, I don't think he got a nomination though?

8/10


Super Hi ME

Fucking crap man, so glad I wasn't stoned while watching this, it would have bored me even more. I couldn't watch it to the end.

1/10


Breaker Morant

Brilliant flick, full of morals and all from a long forgotten war. I'm sure a lot of people here haven't seen it as it's an old Australian flick from the 80's and probably doesn't interest you, a war you were not part of, but the meanings behind it all are worth you watching.

9/10

Witness for the Prosecution (1957)

Might have had too high expectations...still a great film, but compared to some of Wilder's other flicks I just wasn't as engrossed as I usually am with his work. Loved the ending though (how could you not?).

Children of Men
