Sabertooth was the revalation of the film, by far the best character. As for Deadpool, he was ok but I understand why his hardcore fans are pissed. The best thing was that all the characters had their moments even that guy from Lost.:lol:

Saw a midnight showing of X Men Origins Wolverine and would say that it was ok. I guess I'm a little harsh because I read the comics and familar with the story. I will forgive some things but the ending fight at the end was just stupid:

Dead Pool as Weapon XI and having mutiple mutant powers.

I just watched Alien VS Predator last night. i do really love the first half of the movie, but the second half is kinda meh. I like what Anderson does with the camera, he has a lot of interesting things he does with it, and lots of cool camera angles.

I like how it has Lance Henrikson as Mr. Weyland and how it connects to Wayland-Utani and Biship in Aliens. i thought that was cool. too bad Alein VS Predator Requim was just a teen slasher movie that had nothing to do with anything except for the last 30 seconds.

Just saw 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The first one was definitely better, I feel as if the second one involved the writers throwing darts on a board to decide who should die, and when. When you get to know/like a character, BAM, dead. It was still entertaining. I just loved the progression of 28 Days Later.

yes even Principle Vernon counts cause hes that hard assed guy who thinks punishments are the answer to everything.
i could see you as a hard ass principle (no offence)

im more like John Bender (the criminal) than any other character in the movie.


the only person anybody cant relate to is Janitor Carl. since he only has a few lines and such.

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...Brian Johnson ...and an athlete...Andrew Clark ...and a basket case...Allison Reynolds ...a princess...Claire Standish ...and a criminal...John Bender

Mr. Spencer
05-04-2009, 11:00 PM
You can sort of sympathise with Vernon though, the fact that he voices concern about the future. It's a great film that portrays the generation gap. Love it.

nemesiswontdie
05-04-2009, 11:02 PM
thats very true. but as Carl says when him and Vernon are going through kid's files Vernon says that hes scared for the future because he doesnt like what kids have become but as Carl said is that the kids havnt changed he has.

i too love this movie (im watching right now lol im at the part where they eat lunch and Andrew busts out 3 sandwhiches LOL)

Mr. Spencer
05-04-2009, 11:05 PM
Think I'm going to go and watch this now, it's been a while since I saw it. I like Carl too, I almost feel as though he wishes he still was in high school.

nemesiswontdie
05-04-2009, 11:09 PM
yha i no lol. you should go watch it, its syncing onto my ipod now.

in the DVD theres some unrelesed footage of Vernon and Carl talking about the future and says

"Brian will have a very succsessful job but die of a heart attack due to stress of the job, Allyson will be a famous poet but no body will care, Claire will have 2 boob jobs and a face lift, Andrew will marry a hot flight attendent but become fat when he has kids and Bender will kill himself"

Bender is my favorite character from TBC i dont see Bender commeting sucide.

See, The Breakfast Club if it was made today would have had sex in it. But nope, the film didn't really have that. There was talk about it, and I liked that scene where they open up to each other about it. A lot more mature than nowadays, more realistic. Unless of course, we ARE all sleazy today.

Most people at the high school ARE sleazy. I'm pretty sure that they've always talked about sex a lot in immature ways, but then again we're always hormonal teenagers at high school./

GuardhouseMusic

Discussion of sex is usually better than most films' portrayal of actual sex. Which is why Kevin Smith films are great, with all these tangential off the wall dialogues. Chasing Amy is the perfect example, there's a scene that's essentially a parody of the Jaws Quint and Hooper scars discussion, except this time around it's about sex scars.

There definitely are films that simulate sex in an effective way (Don't Look Now is a famous example), but not today I find.

i like your post John.

thats another reason i like this movie, its a teenager movie and its great and hell im pretty sure its the first teenager movie that didnt have sex in it.
yes they did talk about it but hey everyone talks about sex. the only real sexual thing out of TBC is you get to see Claires panties for a quick second when Bender is hiding under the table hiding from dick..sorry Vernon.

I saw it last night, and, while I certainly enjoyed it more than I expected considering it was directed by J.J. Abrams, I think IGN hit the nail on the head when they called it "Star Trek for Dumb People."

This is not to suggest the original series was particularly intelligent (though the subsequent films were far more in my opinion), but there were some serious Capcom-sized leaps in logic in this film that bugged the heck out of me. And while I enjoyed the various in-jokes and nods to the original series, there was a tad too much shtick for my tastes, with a lot of it completely unnecessary (Kirk's inflated hands and Scotty beaming into the water coolant system come to mind).

I thought that the whole nonsense with the "red matter" was dumbed down technobabble, but it's a fantastic way to bring in new fans to the franchise. That's what I think this film has done, it's done for Star Trek what Casino Royale did for James Bond. It's rebooted the series, and it'll bring in new fans as well as catering to the old school fans. I'm a die hard Trekkie, I have been for over 15 years now, and I enjoyed the film immensely. There was great characterisation, some nice in-jokes thrown around and beautiful special effects. I liked the opening sequence in particular, almost brought a tear to my eye when I heard the sounds of the newly born Kirk entering the world.

Moment I saw that redshirt descending with Kirk and Sulu to the drill platform, I already knew he was dead. He was dead before he even left the shuttlecraft. He was dead the moment he woke up in the morning in his quarters and thought, "You know, red seems like a nice colour to wear today."

I probably could have made this clearer in my original post, but while IGN was comparing the new movie to the original series (and the following series and movies as well, I imagine) when they called it "Star Trek for Dumb People," I didn't quite mean the same thing. They were likely referring to the lack of technobabble (which was actually a plus in my book), but that's not what I meant.

Perhaps "Dumb People" was too strong of a term, because the film itself was not particularly unintelligent. What bothered me about it was the poor storytelling methods they used to get from plot point A to plot point B. There were several cases where it felt as if they couldn't figure out how to logically move from A to B, so instead they just said, "Bam! We're already there!"

Also, every time Chekov spoke, I wanted to take a power drill to my left temple.

"Charlie Sheen is playing a junkie in that movie."

I know. he's cool, even though he's a pedefile and all.

What! seriously? ive never heard of this before, im shocked, how can this be true? I really do not want this to be true.

"Paedophile. Or if you're in the US, "pedophile"."

Then it's pedophile, thank you for correcting my error.
___
"Y'know, why am I not shocked that you and you alone could even suggest there's such a thing as a cool kiddy rapist?

As it is, it seems this is a rumour started by an angry ex without much by way of actual proof. The man's no saint but this one seemsto be wrong, anyway."

*shrugs* Could be. And him being a "kiddy rapist," if he even was one, has nothing to do with him being cool.
___
"no hes not...is he? if so i want proof please."

Where have you been the last 10 years or so? At any rate, it hasn't been proved, at least not that I know of. But soon after he was accused of it, he came out with a children's clothing line.

Oh my gosh. He makes children's clothes and a bitter ex accuses him of being one? Ladies and gentleman, you form the lynch mob, I'll go find a payed for head shrinker to attest that it's all his fault he was mobbed and killed.

I mean, hell, that's how pedophiles work, right? Half the time it's all the victims fault. Same with rapists. And they can be cool, so it should work for us. I mean they only violently force themselves on people, crush there spirit, damage there body (especially the little girls or boys - even three inches of fun will leave a plentiful supply of scaring) and, for that extra 'I'm super fucking awesome as a rapist, yeah!' cause some delicious and permanent mental scaring. Smells like Broken Teen Spirit, mmm.

Interesting ideas. Inhuman, sure, inexcusable, sure, and not partaking of any obvious redeeming factor, but in fairness that does not seem terribly unusual for you.

And yeah. I sent you a lovely message detailing, in detail, how to use the quotes system here. I'm sure you won't, even though several people and two or three mods have told you too now...which falls under the 'ignoring a mod' section in breaking the rules.

I mean, hell, you've managed to hit two of my biggest peeves...Neo Nazi's and pedophiles. So I don't need a reason to perma-ban you. Only an excuse.

Please tell me you're not serious. How in God's name can someone be cool if they rape children? To even say a child rapist can be cool is absolutely sick. Also, please use the quote facility which you've been instructed a couple of times to do, as not doing so makes your posts very incoherent and difficult to read.

I watched S. Darko which was awful, really bad considering how good the 1st film was. You cant really make a sequel to a film like Donnie so I went in with very low expectations anyway but after watching the first 10 minutes I could tell it was going to suck. Please if your a fan of the 1st don't spoil it for yourself by watching this garbage.

GuardhouseMusic
05-13-2009, 08:32 PM
I may see S. Darko for shits and giggles, because I saw Donnie Darko maybe 6 years ago, and I'm a little jaded from the cult status the film's achieved. It's not as precious as it used to be so I don't think I'll be affected by anything other than an objectively bad film, which is what you're saying anyway.

Man, Ferris Bueller's one of my favorite movies, I definitely know it more than The Breakfast Club, as good a film as that is.

"Pardon my French, but you're an Asshole! ASSHOLE!"

"Le jeux sont fais. Translation: The game is up. Your ASS is mine!"
*straw-full of soda in the face*

I just saw this Russian film Mirror, it's a stream of consciousness story about a boy's perspectives throughout prewwII, wartime, and postwar Russia. The focus is mostly on his relationship with his mother and wife and how it's affected him and the people around him. Excellent images and narration make a broken looking movie really interesting. Andrei Tarkovsky directed it, and I heard he's also done a couple of sci-fi adaptations (Solaris and Stalker the films are called), among others. This film was a good jump-off point for him.

Finally got around to seeing Kill Bill 1 and 2. Even though I don't like gory movies, and I knew what I was getting myself into, I actually really enjoyed them. The gore was over-done, and that's what made it so non-squeamish and unoffensive. Kill Bill 1 is definitely on my list of favourite movies ever.

I'm doing a podcast on Quentin Tarantino for a school assignment, so I'm gonna try and watch all his movies. My checklist:

Reservoir Dogs - Watched, will watch again
Pulp Fiction - Watched, will watch again
Jackie Brown - Watched
Kill Bill: Volume 1 - Watched
Kill Bill: Volume 2 - Watched
Sin City - Need to watch
Death Proof - Watched, will watch again
Inglorious Basterds - Need to watch

Hopefully Inglorious Basterds will see an early-ish release in Australia.

I just saw a film called Blindness, which is an adaptation of a novel (Written in Portugese) and directed by Fernando Meirelles who was responsible for City of God. It's about an epicdemic of Blindness that eventually takes over the majority of the world, but one woman (Julianne Moore) is somehow immune and still has her sight and acts as an almost shepherd like chraracter to a group of blind people that she has befriended in quarrantine. The first two thirds of the movie are so very bleak but the final third (Post quarrantine) feels a lot more hopeful.

There was some sick farmer who had sex with his daughter who got pregnant, so he locked them up in a secret basement under his farmhouse. But they made secret passages allthroughout the walls in the house and escaped and killed him, but they were all mutated and deformed and had never seen light before since they had been kept underground all there lives. Anyways, after the old man dies the real estate cleans the house and puts it up for sale, and a family buys it not knowing the mutated children are still living in the walls and in the secret basement. Then San and Dean come to try and save the day. It was one of the best episodes so far IMO.

I still hate him and stand my what i said.

Besides, Frost/Nixon is based of real life events, therefore Howard had to use minimal creativity to make it. Apollo 13 and Beautiful mind are the same as they were based of real life events too. I don't like him because he doesn't use any creativity at all to make his movies, basically his movies plots are pre made for him, and the majority of his films are crap anyway.

Cocoon looks ok but it would have been even better had Robert Zemeckis directed it. Another Director i love, he made Back to the Future and Romancing the Stone and a few other great films that involved being creative and not stealing your ideas from real life events or books continuously and never making anything original.

I never stated anywhere if I liked Hitchcock, Coppola or Kubrick.

And Star Wars is no Remake, It was George Lucas's original idea that he was inspired to write because he used to watch Sci-Fi TV shows like Flash Gordan as a kid. And Alien IMO is one of the greatest films ever made, and so is T2, Back to the Future 2 and Pirates 2.

No, it was one of the films he was inspired by to make Star Wars.

George Lucas said Hidden Fortress gave him the idea of having the beginning of Star Wars 4 seen through the eyes of the two least important characters. C-3PO and R2-D2.


George Lucas has acknowledged the influence of The Hidden Fortress on Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, particularly in the technique of telling the story from the points of view of the film's lowliest characters, C-3PO and R2-D2.[1] Kurosawa's use of frame wipes (sometimes cleverly hidden by motion within the frame) as a transition device also influenced Star Wars.

Just because he liked and emulated some of the techniques used in Hidden Fortress, into his own movies doesn't mean it's a remake. Besides that is only Episode 4, there is 5 other episodes as well, and i think The Empire Strikes Back is probably the best Star Wars film.

If Star Wars is a Remake because of that, then every big action film released since 1993 is a Remake of Jurassic Park cause they all use CGI.

Lucas wrote it, and produced it, and was working very closely with kershner who was directing it.



I think that you misunderstood the definition of Remake. By the way the first movies to use CGI was the Willow and The Abyss.

Yeah i know and after that T2 then Jurassic Park.

What i meant was just because it's similar or borrows something from something else does not mean it's a Remake.

My point in asking you missv, is that I think it's unfair to slag off an entire director's career after seeing only one of his films. Saying that Ron Howard is the worst director ever isn't really an opinion if it's not backed up by anything at all. While it's exciting to witness something new, who's to say it's not as exciting to see someone else's interpretation of another story, or real life events? People have strange and interesting perspectives.

I just saw the enjoyable fun double feature. Taken and Star Trek. Great films to have something caffeinated and feel your impulses respond to each fast-paced development. I too am a Star Trek virgin, and I think it's safe to say I'll be watching (SNAAAAAKE? I'll be watching you- UNDERSTAAAAAAAND?!! sorry, the first thing I thought of) some ToS episodes, to see what all those Simpsons writers were going on about.

Rob Zombie wasn't in the film.

I have a passionate hatred for the Halloween remake. Along with having been a great fan of Carpenter's movie for quite a while, every choice Zombie made, be it characterization (or lack thereof), dialogue, pacing, casting, directing, etc was in poor taste as a horror film, as a remake, and as a film in general. While I'm not opposed to a director leaving his own mark on a film, his style did not mix with the idea of the first one, where Myers isn't human. I could go on and on about how irritating Scout Taylor-Compton is as Laurie, how every character's written practically the same, how many declarative statements Rob Zombie makes which he just shits on and goes the other way, but it tires me after a while. Case in point: Right after this film came out, he said "no sequels" in interviews. Almost literally two years later Rob Zombie's Halloween II is coming out. You know what the saddest thing about it is? I'm probably still going to see it out of curiosity.

I actually think Michael unmasked looks kinda creepy, in all honesty. This beaten, absolutely stern look. I'm not too crazy about Sheri Moon taking a role that's essentially a reversal of Jason and Pamela Voorhees. I also don't like that there are scenes which resemble the original Halloween II (my favorite in the series) in that hospital. Rob Zombie can't help but cop someone else's stuff and claim to be doing something new.

I'm sure this movie will be uhh, interesting.

The Happening - 1/10

This was strike 3 for M. Night Shyamalan as far as I'm concerned. The Village? AWFUL. Lady in The Water? Atrocious. And now THIS piece of shit? Mother of God. I gave it a 1/10, the 1 being for Zooey Deschanel's adorableness. Not even Mark Wahlberg could save this movie. He was actually pretty bad in it.

The only reason people hated The Happening, was because it didnt have a twist. MNS cornered himself in with 6th Sense and Unreakable and now everyone expects him to do all of his movies the same.

The Happening represented a piece of characters life during an event. Its like a sheet out of a novel. Theres really no beginning, really no end, no character development. So the movie is vague in form.

And its then that people start jumping on the bandwagon. I easily rated it at at least 5/10, because it was a bold movie, and a watchable one aswell. Not because of "The day of the triffids" reference of evil-maniac plants, but because it was pretty much out of standard when it comes to 1.5 hour cinematograpgy rules.

I hated it because I thought it was extremely poorly acted and the whole 'WE ARE DESTROYING THIS PLANET' thing is kind of wearing thin. That point is gonna continue to get hammered home and even though we all know what's happening, the human race will never fully adjust to a 'green' world. There have been steps taken, yeah, but sooner or later the planet's gonna die. I just thought the plot as a whole was really lame. I'd rather watch 'An Inconvenient Truth' if I wanted to get preached to.

Ingmar Bergman's The Hour of the Wolf. The first film I've seen by the late director, and from what I hear the camerawork in this one is similar to his other films. A lot of intimate close-ups, powerfully framed shots, and some surreal images here and there. What really shines though are the characters, especially the protagonist (or the subject, if you will) Johan Borg (played by Max von Sydow, who was apparently in a ton of other Bergman films. You may recognize him as Father Merrin in The Exorcist). The dialogue opens up all of this rich symbolism, through Johan's troubles, his past, how he sees all of these other characters.

Kay it's been a while since I posted here.

Basically, I rented a house for university next year. I'm supposed to have 4 roommates but 3 of them aren't taking summer school. So we thought it'll be fun to watch a horror movie every night at the house or something (course I'm not at the house on weekends, since I don't have classes)

But yeah, since May 1st... (not in order):

=====

The Reaping - Terrible

Untraceable - Not really horror... It was okay, otherwise

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - It was okay. Personally I think it would've been better if they left it as a "what if?" thing. The whole movie's about whether or not the girl was possessed or insane, but they do all these things to make the viewer think she *was* possessed

The Strangers - I loved it. Masks are creepy. Also good proof that you don't have to have a dozen bloody deaths in a slasher film to make it scary.

Shutter - Also terrible... I wasn't really sure what was going on half the time.

The Amityville Horror (Remake) - I liked it

The Exorcist - IMO, only the middle was scary... They should've done more of them Captain Howdy flashes...

May - The beginning was WAY too slow. Only the last 30 minutes was good and even then...

The Eye (Remake... with Jessica Alba) - I wasn't a fan of the new ending...

Slither - It's a Comedy Horror, yes... too much Comedy though.

One Missed Call (English) - Would've been better if ANYONE IN THAT MOVIE KNEW HOW TO ACT...

The Omen (Remake) - Was also "ehhh"... Only thing that caught us off guard was the dog scene... The main character needs to learn how to use more than 2 facial expressions

Reincarnation (Japanese) - Was meh for the most part. The ending creeped me out though...

Forbidden Siren - I liked it... some more Shibito scenes would've been nice

Re-Cycle (Chinese) - Watched this yesterday... Outside the first half hour, I don't even know why this was listed under "horror"... Jeeze, the writers should be kicked in the nuts for this.

=====

... Aaaand, that's about all I can remember at the moment... Anyone have any good Asian Horror they'd like to recommend would be great (preferably ghost/spirits/psychological ones)

REC

Ok, I'm not a big fan of shaky hand-held camera things, but this film had some things in it that were very good. What I thought was down the best was people's reactions, the blood and the scares. The main thing being able to see the creepy almost human silhouette approaching from down the corridor. That had me doing the whole 'oh god oh god!' thing.

I can't say it quite had me shrinking down in my seat like El Orfanato, but it was far from being mainstream horror crap.

So I just saw an early George Romero movie, Martin. I mentioned it in the vampires thread, and it pretty much covered the hematolagnia (blood fetishism) that some of the discussion was about. I don't think it's supposed to be ambiguous, it just doesn't force-feed its viewers. Be that as it may, I highly recommend it. The acting's not great, but the direction is quite impressive. There are some intense scenes, and well done effects by Tom Savini.

Half-way through a backwards run of the Star Wars movies (Started on Episode 6 and worked my way through Episode 4 now. Gonna get started on the prequel trilogy this weekend or something)

Finally got to see Terminator: Salvation too.
I kinda enjoyed it, but there was indeed a lot of PG-13 action going on. Mass-audience production, indeed. My father kindly pointed out something too, that with a few exceptions, the Terminators all seemed hell bent on making physical contact with mostly anything they wanted dead. Where'd all the guns go?


+Good to know that futuristic death motorbike robots all have USB ports that accept autorun.ini or something.

Marcus was also kinda cool, but sucked that the trailers already spoiled the fact that he was a terminator, 'cause they really didn't make it too obvious + there were some nice little details, such as his lack of interest in edibles... though... how exactly does his human components work in the long run if he doesn't need air or food?

Just saw a silent film from 1922, Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler. It deems itself a portrait of the German zeitgeist, Dr. Mabuse is a psychoanalyst/master of disguise/criminal mastermind who has a huge network of counterfeiters, moles, prostitutes, and the like. After an aristocrat is conned by the doctor, he enlists the help of a police inspector to bring Mabuse down. The subject matter is pulpy but nonetheless it's engaging as hell, and considering how long it is (a little over 4 hours), for a silent film it's shot, acted, and staged very well. It jumps from set piece after set piece after set piece; for people skeptical of silent films I would highly recommend this one. Similar in sheer immensity to Sergei Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin

I love Malcolm X the man, he was great, you have to see where he's coming from though, whites treated blacks like garbage with segregation and stuff, it's only natural to develop a hatred against them while white's racism towards blacks are unjustified and wrong.

After he went to Mecca he saw that everyone, white muslims, black muslims, etc. were all together and after that he didn't show what you would call racism towards whites.

Yeah i suppose so, and he was less racist at the end i guess, but at the beginning and especially the middle of the movie i couldn't stand him. And Elijah Muhammed was such a racist bastard.

I hated the part when a white girl walks up to him and wants to help and join him in trying to give black people there rights, and he basically says to her to get out of his face cause she was white.

I just watched the original theatrical version of Alien before, the film is brilliant, and the direction is superb. I will be watching Aliens theatrical version soon as well, then I'm gonna watch the directors cut versions of both movies after that. I wonder which is better. Ill probably do the same with Alien 3 and Resurrection.

I really loved how at first the film doesn't follow Ripley at all, in the beginning she's no more than a side character. One who has never watched Alien before wouldn't even realize she was the main character until more than half way through the film. I love this technique that Ridley Scott used while filming it. It means he also gave many of the other characters time to develop so it was shocking when they died.

Also i love the sense of isolation and fear you get when Ripley discovers that Lambert and the other guy both got killed by the Alien and she realizes that she is now completely alone on the Nostromo, that would be terrifying to know that other that a tabby cat, the only other living thing on board this huge ship, is an Alien who is hunting you. It really scared me.

Also I am now intrigued by the Space Jockey, what the hell is he and why was he there?

Just saw 3 widely different and equally enjoyable movies.

"Purple Noon" (aka Plein Soleil) is the first adaptation of the novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. A re-adaptation was made around the late 90s with Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's about a man of a humble background who kills his far wealthier friend and assumes his identity. His motivation is left ambiguous, so it's cool to ponder whether Ripley wants his friend's status, woman, money, or just his life. Lots of shots of mirrors. Besides the beautiful environments (it's set around Italy, mostly in Rome), the acting is what shines in this film. Alain Delon is the perfect madman.

"Holy Mountain" is an allegorical film by Alejandro Jodorowsky, who's famous for "El Topo." In terms of trivia, the latter film was so well received that John Lennon and Yoko Ono funded "Holy Mountain." Now, it's incredibly hard for me to describe this movie in terms of synopsis, sequence, or themes. A lot of it is purely symbolic, and also its content is projected through its imagery, which is some of the most psychedelic I've ever seen. There are too many cultural, political, religious, and social images that clash multiple times in the same scene. What I will say however is that it's not for the easily offended, squeamish, etc. It makes A Clockwork Orange look like a Disney movie. There are films regarded as exploitation in nature, but I don't think "Holy Mountain" even fits in with those. Either way I think one could get a lot out of it, and the ending smacks you in the face.

"Ip Man" is a recent Chinese film made about the legendary martial arts master of the Wing Chun style. It's surprising that this is the first made about Ip, seeing as every biography you'll read about him says something along the lines of "OMG HE TRAINED BRUCE LEE!" The movie isn't just about Ip Man, but his town, Fo Shan. Towards the beginning you see Fo Shan portrayed as a tight-knit, peaceful community and then the second Sino-Japanese war kicks in. The mood completely changes to one of desolation, fear, and depression after Japan occupies. It definitely shattered any reservations I had about martial arts films. As a martial arts film however, the choreography (done by Sammo Hung of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and John Woo fame) is exceptionally done and it gets exciting when the scene warrants. A wonderful film altogether because it's both entertaining and inspiring.

I just watched a movie called "Con Air" with Nicholas Cage in it. it was pretty good, it was about a bunch of prisoners who made an attempt to escape while on a flight getting a prison transfer. It had some very interesting characters in it, and was fun to watch.

Bob Clark's Deathdream. For those of you who don't know, Clark is responsible for such films as A Christmas Story, Porky's, and (*shudder*) Baby Geniuses. For horror fans however, he made the chilling 1974 film Black Christmas. BC was a Canadian thriller that was a low-key release at the time, but released four years before Halloween, it shared quite a few similarities with John Carpenter's flick (so much so that Clark claimed he told Carpenter an idea for a hypothetical BC sequel called yes, Halloween). Black Christmas was remade in 2006, and from what I saw, it was complete shit.

Anyway, Deathdream starts with a hazy Vietnam scene, and we're introduced to the main character, Andy. His friend immediately gets shot, and lets out some disturbing cries of pain. We see a few close-ups of a clearly traumatized Andy, and then he gets hit, and his fate is left unclear. The next moments of the film reveal the protagonist's family, who get a visit by an officer with news of Andy's death. Not long after though, Andy shows up at their door, and the plot sets in. I'd highly recommend Deathdream, as it's one of those effective films that mixes slow-paced suspense with well done practical effects (Tom Savini's first job, right back from Vietnam coincidentally). Also, the dynamic of Andy's family develops intriguingly throughout; the characterizations are thought out.

The Black Christmas remake is pretty crappy, but I have a special place in my heart for it.

The original is chilling.

Watched RocknRolla yesterday. It was pretty good, but you had to watch it real closely or else you wouldn't know what they're doing, cos the plot was quite confusing, at least the beginning. But it was pretty good overall.

Can't go wrong with wrestling and strip clubs. :lol:

Saw 88 minutes the other night and thought it was good even though it got bad reviews. The ending was predictable and Pacino was great in it.

blade runner is the main film that sparked cyberpunk basically if ya watch that you have already played snatched too a degree since it borrows heavily from blade runner but obviously changes the story a lot, its a classic film and i would recommend it too anyone, also on the note of films i watched the punisher (with tom jane) damn i've missed that film alot.

I just saw Transformers 2, It was pretty good but not as good as the first Transformers film.

The main reason for this being the ridiculous amount of special effects in it. So many that it was just unnecessary.

I'm arguing with myself whether this film was good or not, i can't choose between 8/10 or 7/10.

There may be a few minor spoilers ahead in my review.

Overall it was an excellent film, and Michael Bay is a good director that may love visual effects a little to much though.

Special effects are good, but it's just that there wasn't enough balance in Transformers 2. There was too many explosions and not enough dialog or plot, and when there was plot, it as quickly hurried over, but when there was dialog it was really good, but only in short bursts.

The problem with having so many CGI scenes and so little dialog scenes is that there is no time to build up to them. There is constantly something going on even when there doesn't need to be. Therefore when there is a big really cool CGI special effects scene, the awe is kinda dulled because there is no build up or distinction between it and the other parts in the film, there is no contrast between it and everything else. It's like the film was just one huge constant explosion.

It's the same if you eat Chocolate, at first it's really nice, and it taste rich and creamy in your mouth, but if you eat nothing but chocolate every minute of the day, for a week. Eventually the taste will dull on you, and you will even grow sick of it, or wont even notice it anymore. And you will want a change.

Same with this movie, and many new movies with special effects, i know Terminator Salvation suffered this same problem i think, though not to the same degree as Transformers 2 did.

It's kinda funny because Transformers 2 is kinda opposite of what films usually were. Films of old were mostly dialog and build up to the action, and that way when we got to a big CGI or special effects shot it was awesome and blew everyone away. That was the majority of most films before the 21st century. This film was the opposite in that every shot was a huge CGI moment, and only rarely was there any parts without CGI, I mean hell, there were even special effects in the short little love scene they had in the film lol. So in a way, this film built up to it's non action scenes, and when there was dialog it was usually rather good.

I did love the chatter between Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox in some parts, that was a great break from all the action. But the best character by far was probably the most unexpected, Sam's (Shia LaBeouf) mom was so awesome in it. She stole every scene she was in, i would have liked her to be the main character, she was so funny and clueless too.

There was some really neat scenes too, I'm not saying CGI is bad, there is some really good scenes near the end which reminded me if the "Suck Cannon" weapon from the Ratchet and Clank games. But a not so good thing is the CGI in the less important scenes seems of lesser quality, and is easily noticeable as being fake.


Plot wise, the film follows the same paths as any other trilogy goes, the first film, the good guys win a big but not total victory over the bad guys, the second part is the darker part, a main or well liked character dies, the world is in peril and the bad guys get there victory, and the good guys lose a lot of men, third film, the good guys will probably make the final assault and defeat the bad guys once and for all. Kinda like the original Star Wars trilogy.

So overall the film was good, but with the third film, Michael Bay should consider more dialog and plot and less CGI explosions.

Rocky Balboa

Great film, recaptures the feeling the first Rocky movie created, great story, the movie like Rocky has a lot of heart. There's Rocky's classic humor, a great fight. Inspiring and uplifting movie.

Transformers 2.

Watched a screener of Transformers, 15 times, before I went to the movies. An epic and awesome movie. Transformers 2 on the other hand is nowhere near as good. It has a lot of logic and believability issues. Before anyone takes a cheap jab at the idea that a movie about transforming robots has "reality problems", let me be more specific.

In simple and short terms- Transformers, especially decepticons, seized to be a force that the viewer and characters in the movie see as a real threat to the protagonists.

I'm currently watching the second half of the 1st film it really is a classic horror film, I like it I must say, before CGI was the fad and everything.

"Kristy come to daddy its uncle Frank."-Frank

ok I had to edit my post cause I saw the ending to Hellraiser 1 and OMG, AWSOME! it puts my faith in Clive Barker and I would kill to see the movie "Clive Barkers Jericho" turned into a film .
