The Doom Generation
|
|
Fantastic film. Love it. if you enjoyed this then
you'll almost definitely enjoy Kaboom. This is
definitely a perfect example of indie filmmaking
by Greg Araki with that extra 90's pizazz. Over
the top, daring and influential as all hell. I
disagree that it blows its load too soon, I think
it keeps a steady stream of tension whether it be
comediic violence, gratuitous sex or awkward as
fuck situations/characters the whole time.
Soundtrack was terrific also fitting in all type
of shit, more favorably the jesus and mary chain
and SLOWDIVE. One small complaint that didn't
really bother too hard was some of the 90s
dialogue, it just lost me some places..
9/10

Let Me In
|
|
I hate that they made her look like a monster when
she was killing, but the caretakers story was
better and that car scene was out of this world
great.. I still think the original had a better
atmosphere and some sort of mystical tone that
this failed to attain. 7/10
|
Machete
|
|
Ear to ear grin for it's entire viewing, 10/10, I
had a blast
|
Devil
|
|
Eh, I really enjoyed this for what it was. Great
review, 7/10 is on the money
|
A Serbian Film
|
|
Damn, I thought this was a stylish and disgusting
little thrill ride. I caught this a couple of
months ago in a packed theater in San Francisco,
sold out. I know it's gnarly but eh, I just didn't
think it was so shocking after spending my time in
my late teens watching all that august underground
bullshit, but hey that's just me. I've seen it
twice now, showing friends and what not, but I'll
never watch it again. I recommend it to anyone
that's open minded and into shock cinema. 9/10 for
bringing my hand to my face a couple times..
|
Dead Set
|
|
I have only seen the fan edit "dead set
serious", where they cut most the big brother
stuff. Definitely any zombies fan dream show or
movie, so fun.
10/10
|
Pontypool
|
|
Loved it. Some really creepy moments in this one..
10/10
|
The Road
|
|
Big fan of the book and I loved this movie.
Draining is a good word for it, but I mean that in
a good way.
10/10
|
Maximum Overdrive
|
|
This is one of my favorites, brings back so many
memories from my childhood. Love it. 9/10
|
Hell Of The Living Dead
|
|
I have this on VHS! I saw it when I was younger
and loved it, now that I see it I see its flaws
but still have a soft spot for it, especially that
awesome cover.
6/10 sounds right
|
Laid To Rest
|
|
I really wanted to enjoy this, but gore just
wasn't enough to keep me interested. The fact that
the killer drove a car on rims and had a
personalized license plate really gave me the
bitter beer face. The gore and brutality of it all
was pretty awesome though.
6/10
|
True Blood: Season 1
|
|
Second season has been a lot more gory, pretty
fun.
I'm into the show quite a
bit..
|
Resident Evil: Extinction
|
|
I love the Resident Evil videogame series, even
really enjoyed the first 2 of the films.
This was awful. there was never fast
zombies in the games(unless you include the faster
shambling zombies from the gamecube edition of the
first game..), and they didn't need it now.
I really hope good ol' Paul just pulls a
fast one and surprises us with a movie that
actually sticks to one of the games (RE2 please?),
a prequel to the world of the RE movies maybe?
fuck I don't know..
3/10

28 Weeks Later
|
|
I saw this for the first time since I'd seen it in
theatres and also enjoyed it a lot more than I had
then.
the gore effects are
ridiculously good and it's a pretty non-stop
movie..
some of the cinematography
was really annoying (shaky cam) and some of the
cinematography was fucking beautiful.
Of course the original was better, but I had a
great time with this one too.
8.5/10 for
sure
|
Body Bags
|
|
I've had this on VHS forever and just watched it
again for the first time in awhile. I love this
movie. I do take it as a blatant rip, but it's
entertaining and fun.
8/10
|
Dead Snow
|
|
This was really cool. I had my doubts from the
trailer but it pulled through, awesome gore. It
did take a little getting used to seeing zombies
stab people though..
so entertainging and
fun.
9/10
|
Martyrs
|
|
I really can't think of a single complaint I had
with this.. The ending really pulled a fast one
and it was definitely the best way to go.
10/10
|
Slumdog Millionaire
|
|
Man, I really fucking enjoyed this.. I don't know
what you're talking about when you say it lacks an
emotional punch, I'd say it threw quite a few
right and left hooks.. This definitely deserved
all the awards it received.
I'm
excited to see what Boyle does next and I'm
excited to see if more subtitled movies get some
recognition.
10/10
|
Gutterballs
|
|
I also saw the 'censored version' and agree. It
had a different cover that looked a lot like the
Maniac cover. That rape scene was a liiiittle
much, but hey.. If you've seen one rape you've
seen most and this was fun ha
8/10
|
Friday The 13th
|
|
Damn, yeah, I enjoyed it for what it was. I
thought the "where are you gun?" was
funny as hell.
I actually wish Jason WAS a
pot dealer, it would have made this mess a lot
more fun, but hey..
4/10? that
screwdriver kill took Jason like 30 seconds.
|
Last Life In The Universe
|
|
Wow, I saw this movie in iFC or something a couple
years back and really liked it.. For some reason I
had always searched for it as 'Last Lizard in the
Universe', glad you reviewed this.. I remember
being totally submersed in this from beginning to
finish and it really is a great one. I'm gonna go
find it.
10/10
|
My Bloody Valentine
|
|
I really didn't like this that much, they could
have definitely shaved off a good 10 minutes and
made it less of a mine drama.. I saw it in 3D and
loved the kills (especially the first one), but I
caught myself checking my watch more than once.
Coraline trailer was fun... 6.5/10
|
Storm Warning
|
|
There are some great effects in this, every kill
is worth mentioning.. The beginning is also really
pretty, 8/10
|
RocknRolla
|
|
Finally gave this a watch and enjoyed every minute
of it.. I haven't disliked anything by Ritchie yet
though, so hey, oh well.
10/10!
|
Repo! The Genetic Opera
|
|
Well, I thought this movie was pretty bad.. But it
had it's moments! Coming from a dude who didn't
like "Sweeney Todd" and only slightly
respects the what could be genius of "Rocky
Horror Picture Show"..
This
dude knew what he was doing when he made this
movie and that was to appeal to every Hot Topic
wearing, Paris Hilton talking, weirdo kids that he
could, and he did!
This movie was
bad, but for the people who actually enjoy this
stuff I can see a whole world of things they would
like. To each his own.
I was
entertained (premise, set), I just hated the songs
and acting.. 5/10
|
The Wrestler
|
|
Walked out of the theater both extremely happy I'd
seen a truly great movie and extremely depressed
because of the subject matter.. Loved it, 10/10
|
Eden Lake
|
|
This one left me feeling really weird at the end..
I really liked it though, these kids were almost
TOO believable.
10/10
|
Doubt
|
|
Superb acting on all sides, such an engaging
story.. You really do not know what to think the
whole time.
Loved it, 10/10
|
Tokyo Gore Police
|
|
Such a good one.. The croc-gina looked so good,
pretty much everything looked great with some
small gripes here and there.. Nothing took away
from the experience..So awesome that it also came
with a good story.. Great editing skills here
also.
10/10, I plan on showing all my
friends
|
Gran Torino
|
|
I was somewhat taken back on how god damn racist
ol' clint is in this, but it makes sense..
The supporting cast was pretty fucking awful,
but watching Eastwood as a complete badass again
was a treat.
Me and my pops loved it.
9/10 seems right
|
The Zombie Diaries
|
|
I really did not like this movie. It was just..
Boring.
Kinda reminded me of Automoton
Transfusion with all the praise on the box and
then pop it in and you've been had again......
2/10
The zombie well is drying up,
all we have to look forward to is Island of the
Dead and World War Z..
|
Punisher: War Zone
|
|
Saw this about a week ago and fucking loved it, I
really hated some of the music though..
Honestly, I was far more entertained by this
than Dark Knight, But I'm a lot more of a Punisher
fan.
Can't wait for the unrated DVD! 8/10!
|
Splinter
|
|
I really liked this one, it had that low budget
charm and nothing was compromised because of it.
The way the bodies contorted themselves was super
creepy.
Look forward to owning this
9/10

Red
|
|
I was putting off a viewing of this movie because
I thought it miiiight just turn sour.
Thank
goodness it surprised me with an emotionally
wrenching story and some awesome performances by
pretty much everyone in the cast.. I couldn't have
been happier with the outcome either, a gripping
revenge story with a heart.
10/10
|
Let The Right One In
|
|
WOW.. Fucking beautiful. I haven't felt this way
after seeing a film in awhile.. I wanted it to
keep going.
The expressions on the kids
faces were a big deal, the girl actually looked
like she was older inside.
Great story, I
can't wait to own this. There is no way in hell
Hollywood could recreate this sort of thing.
10/10
|
Stuck
|
|
Awesome movie, better ending than I expected to be
honest. Didn't really like the occasional rap
music that popped up but that didn't happen but 2
or 3 times.
9/10
|
The Ruins
|
|
I really liked this, all but the beginning..
Those plants or vines or whatever looked a lot
like pot leaves also, am I wrong?
good
ending also... 9/10
|
Mirrors
|
|
That jaw scene.. I didn't think it would look THAT
good when executed..
There were some
slow moments and cheesy lines but overall this was
Aja's best. Can't wait to see what he does in the
future.
8/10
|
Dance Of The Dead
|
|
I went in expecting another Automon Transfusion
and was pleasently suprised with som eawesome gore
and decent acting.. Some laugh out loud lines and
memorable characters, especially coach and
jules.
There were only a few gripes
here and there.. In my opinion the ressurection
scene was a little too modern for my tastes, I
don't know how they would rocket out their
graves..
7.5/10
|
Jeepers Creepers
|
|
Decent horror film compared to a lot of the shit
coming out these days. Especially liked the
ending, we need more downer endings in horror.
8/10
|
Quarantine
|
|
Eh, they could have done a whole lot worse with
this.. But seeing it after REC just ruins it, it
doesn't even come close in my opinion.
I was actually frightened during REC, something
I've been waiting for for a long time in a film..
This honestly didn't do anything for me, but my
friends who don't read subtitles loved it.
4/10
|
Humboldt County
|
|
I saw the trailer for this quite a while back and
have been waiting for it to pop up.
Being from around this area it should be
interesting seeing how they portray these people.
Can't wait to see it now that I've read this
review.
|
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
|
|
Definitely a decent and pretty unique entry into
the slasher genre. It was fun.. The overall look
and feeling was cool, the music and lighting
really complimented it all.. Kills could have been
better in my opinion..
7.5/10?
