The Last Exorcism
|
|
So yeah, I loved the ending. I really don't see
how it "ruins" the rest of the movie. In
the realms of a horror film about demonic
possession, it's not far fetched at all. Someone
listed how it can lead to a few inconsistencies in
the plot, which I can kind of see, but not enough
to ruin the movie. I loved the film.

Well that's pretty awesome to hear. I usually
agree with your reviews, and I'm seeing it on
Wednesday, so I'm pretty excited now. A lot of
people have said the ending is just awful (and
completely negates any redeeming factor the rest
of the movie had). Guess I'll find out on
Wednesday.

That's all I
have to say about that matter. And also, it did
NOT deserve the Golden Globe for Best Picture
(aside from the fact that the Golden Globes are a
joke).

Black Christmas

I just watched this a couple hours ago, and hot
damn if that wasn't one of the finest slasher
movies I've ever seen. And fucking creepy to boot.
The phone calls from the killer are fucking creepy
as hell. And as Tristan said, the eye in the
fucking door made me shit my pants. And I love a
downer ending. XD 9.5/10

Friday The 13th Part 2

Pretty awesome movie. The ending actually made me
jump, and that hardly ever happens. That slow-mo
shot of Jason jumping through the window is creepy
as hell.

Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon
|

I forgot how much I loved this movie. I just
watched it for the second time (thank you Netflix
instant viewing), and it's still one of my
favorite slasher films. The mixture of styles is
done incredibly well, and Nathan Baesel is
absolutely fantastic. And as Tristan said, the
Talking Heads playing in the credits was awesome.

*SPOILERS*
I don't know, I
pretty much found the movie to be ridiculous.
After hearing all these great things, I was really
excited to see it and unfortunately let down.
Jordan Ladd was great, but her character still
pissed me off. I know she's a vegan and everything
and doesn't like traditional medicine, etc., but
if my baby was drawing flies and fucking drinking
blood, I'd bring it to a hospital. And the ending
was ridiculous. I did really like how her
mother-in-law had this weird mom complex going on.
The scene where her husband sucks on her
breast...creepy shit. Overall, it was good, but
could've been better. 7/10
*SPOILERS*

The Midnight Meat Train
|
|
Really awesome movie. I finally got around to
watching it today. I thought the twist was
ridiculous at first (why he's butchering people),
but then I realized, "Fuck...it's based on a
Clive Baker story. It's never gonna be just some
serial killer story." And boy, did they let
the gore flow. I read a comment on imdb.com where
some guy said it was hardly a gory movie. O_o
|
Zombieland
|

Seriously? I thought it was fantastic. I love
zombie flicks to death, but it was nice to see it
be about the characters for a change. It was no
Shaun of the Dead, but still completely enjoyable.
8.5/10

I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD BUT IT'S GOT A FUCKING
LONG WAIT ON NETFLIX. And it's not on Comcast,
either. GRRRRRRR.

I thought I'd seen this before, but it must have
been one of the sequels. I just watched it on
Netflix, and I loved it. Really really great
atmosphere, and while there was quite a bit of
gore, it didn't use the gore to scare/unsettle the
viewer. I loved Chicago as the backdrop, too. I
hear it's being remade. Blah. Oh, and Virginia
Madsen has an amazing rack (at least in 1992 she
did).

"I actually yelled at my screen after the
finale wrapped."
I did the same
thing. XD

Lost: Season 5
|

So I just finished this season an hour or so ago.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK it needs to be
January. These past 3 or so weeks I've spent
watching Lost have been some of the best moments
I've ever experienced with a television show.

Jennifer's Body

And am I the only one that thinks Megan Fox has a
weird face?

Jennifer's Body

Oh, and it also means that Diablo Cody was most
likely a fluke. Because why I highly enjoyed Juno,
some of the dialogue came off as completely forced
("THUNDERCATS ARE GO!!!!!!"). Fucking
hipster dialogue. "This is SOOO much better
than Suspiria." *groan*

Jennifer's Body

I'm glad this movie bombed. Because it means that
maybe people are getting sick of Megan Fox. I
certainly am.

I CANNOT wait to see this. I absolutely adore Amy
Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman is amazing, and
Meryl Streep is Meryl Streep. I'm probably gonna
catch this and Ben Button next week.

Let The Right One In
|

I'm about 1/4 of the way through the novel, and I
cannot fucking wait to see the film. It's opening
next week in Hartford. It's about a 45 minute
drive, but totally worth it. I have a DVD screener
(which I have yet to watch), but I'd prefer to see
it in the big screen.

Glad to see you liked it. I really want to see it,
and then I saw that it was getting lukewarm
reviews.
|
Splinter

I was actually really excited to see that this was
available to watch on Comcast On Demand because I
had read a review and it sounded great. Needless
to say, I loved it and completely agree with this
review. Best creature feature I've seen in a VERY
long time. They just don't make them like they
used to.

Let The Right One In
|

This one hasn't even started its theatrical run in
its native country, and Hollywood has already
announced a remake. Awesome.
That
sounds pretty much like the remake of [REC]. The
movie had been out for like 2 fucking weeks in its
native country, and it was picked up for a remake
with a stupid name (Quarantine). And, based on the
trailers and TV spots, it looks like the most
pointless damn remake ever. It looks EXACTLY the
same. They even went as far as to ruin the damn
money shot of the movie in the trailer (for those
of you that haven't seen the original, the scene
where the girl gets dragged away into the
dark...LAST shot of the movie).
Anywaaaaaaay...enough rambling about remakes.
Yeah, I heard about this movie a little while ago,
and it sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm really
want to see this.

[REC]

HAH. The viral marketing for the American remake
is awesome, only because the people on youtube
actually think it's real. Seriously, watch the
videos and read the comments. Knowing that it's
just marketing for an upcoming movie, the comments
will seem hilarious. Too bad the remake's a SHOT
FOR SHOT remake (at least it looks like it from
the trailer). The even show the last scene (as in
the last god damn 5 seconds of the movie) in the
trailer.

Pretty excited.

Iron Man

I absolutely loved this. I was like Nirrad when I
first saw the trailers. I didn't think it looked
like garbage, but I wasn't at all interested. But
when I saw the crazy reviews it was getting, I had
to see it. And I'm totally glad I did. Robert
Downey Jr. was a fantastic Tony Stark.
|
The Rage
|

I thought this movie was...how can I say it?
Shitty? And I usually agree with your reviews,
MvMMDI. I love stupid gory horror movie once in
awhile, but I just couldn't get around the
retarded looking vultures and such. I never once
found myself chuckling (only at how bad it was).
The only thing I enjoyed was Divoff's performance.
I really was in it for Erin Brown. I was aware
that she didn't get naked before seeing it, so
that didn't disappoint me (I like her as an
actress as well; I loved Sick Girl). I just didn't
like it at all. But that's just me.

I just can't get around the fact that this is

Cloverfield

I had a lot of fun at this film. I never expected
it to be anything amazing, but the experience was
definitely a lot of fun. The creature looked
really badass, and the film was actually pretty
intense and terrifying at times. I just kinda
wished it had ended 10 minutes earlier (surviving
a helicopter crash? PUH-LEASE). All in all, it was
a lot of fun at the cinemas. Oh, and kudos to the
sound guys. 8/10

I adored the hell out of this movie.

One Missed Call
|

It's got a big old 0% on rottentomatoes.com right
now, and that's out of 29 reviews. This very well
may turn out to be 2008's worst film. It certainly
looks like it. Hopefully it puts the fucking nail
in the coffin of Asian remakes.

I just picked this up from Best Buy for 10 bucks.
I've been wanting to see it for awhile.

Awesome. This is opening in my local theater
tomorrow. This, Atonement and There Will Be Blood
are the 3 last movies I need to see from 2007
(well, not the last ones, but the last three I
REALLY want to see).

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

I haven't seen the movie yet (the first was a
pretty huge POS), but I have to say...that
Japanese poster is fucking BADASS.

Charlie Wilson's War

I'm really interested in seeing this, if only for
Amy Adams. I loved her in Enchanted, which made me
want to see Junebug, in which she was amazing.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
|
|
I abso-fucking-lutely adored this movie. I saw it
last night, and I had a huge smile across my face
the whole time. I wasn't familiar with the
original musical before seeing the movie, but
after seeing this, I want to see it on stage (I
also added the recorded version with Angela
Lansbury to my netflix). I haven't been able to
stop listening to the soundtrack. As you said,
Johnny Depp doesn't have the range (or I imagine)
of the other actors who played Sweeney on stage,
but he was still wonderful, my favorite musical
number of his being Epiphany. Jamie Campbell
Bower's got a great voice, and I loved him singing
Johanna. Edward Sanders was fantastic, too. And we
can't forget about Sacha Baron Cohen, who was
hilarious, as usual. But enough about the actors;
the movie was just amazing to look at. I loved,
loved, loved this movie. Probably my favorite of
the year. The final shot was absolutely haunting.
|
Away From Her
|
|
WOW. What a fucking wonderful movie. It's pretty
heart breaking, but completely touching at the
same time. Julie Christie was absolutely
wonderful, and I'm happy she got an award from the
National Board of Review. Gordon Pinsent was
great, too. Definitely one of the best films of
the year.
|
The Brave One
|

I really wanted to see this when it hit the
theaters, but unfortunately I didn't get to. I'm
hoping the DVD comes out some time soon.

This is why Christopher Nolan is one of today's
best directors.

I fucking ADORE this movie. My brother got it for
me used from the GameStop he works at for like 5
bucks, and BOY am I ever glad her did. Ellen Page
was fantastic, and it was just an all around great
movie. Really excited to see her in Juno.
|
Away From Her

I've got this at the top of my netflix. Can't wait
for it to come.
|
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead
|

WOW. I just watched the trailer for this. It looks
absolutely fantastic. I may catch it next weekend.
It's playing about 45 minutes from where I live.

The Mist
|

Glad to see you loved it, too. I saw it last
Wednesday, and it's definitely one of the best
horror movies I've seen in awhile, if not one of
the best films I've seen this year in general.
When I first saw the trailer, I wasn't too
interested, until I saw it was directed by
Darabont. So, I immediately went out and picked up
the novella and busted through it; I was
completely enthralled. The movie did not
disappoint either. As you said, some of the CGI
wasn't up to snuff (especially the tentacles), but
I can forgive that. The ones being clouded by the
mist were awesome (like the big...scorpion thingy
and the fucking massive one at the end). And HOO
BOY, what an ending. I'd heard that the ending was
changed, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Darabont's got fucking balls, and I love that. I
REALLY need to get out and see this movie again
with a bigger crowd.

Day Watch
|
|
I'm pretty interested in seeing this (the trailer
looked badass), but I just could not for the life
of me get through Night Watch (I actually fell
asleep at one point). And that's probably a bad
thing if I want to see this one.
|
Ravenous
|
|
Fucking wonderful film. One of the most underrated
horror flicks I've ever seen. I caught parts of it
on Sci-Fi a couple years back, and I got it on DVD
that Christmas. Robert Carlyle was fantastic in
this movie. God damn, now I want to go watch it.
XD

Heh. The house that this movie was filmed in is
right in my little New England town. I pass by it
every morning on the way to school. It's a fucking
cool house, too. Never seen the movie, though. :p
