High Tension
|
|
I think this was a pretty descent horror movie,
the kind that gives back some credit to the genre.
The gore was very well done and most disgusting,
but I think the ending WAS disappointing... After
Fight Club and Hide and Seek and such, I don't
find it original anymore. And there ARE plotholes
in my opinion, like the gas station scene that I
find very difficult to buy considering the ending.
But a pretty decent horror movie nevertheless.

Catwoman

They spat on the original comicbook, used it as
toilet paper and handed it to WB as a scenario
which therefore led to this fiasco.

Team America: World Police
|

It was pretty hilarious at the theater (I cried
two times) but it was way less enjoyable the
second time.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
|
|
I watch it over and over again for a) those funny,
lovely, naive character and b) David Hasselhoff
still accepting a role that only ridicules himself

War Of The Worlds
|

I had big expectations for this film and I was
still surprised. It was a pretty damn good movie.
The camera work is awesome and gives it an
unstable, reporter-like feeling in order to really
get you in the action. The retro-alien-movie
atmosphere at the beginning is priceless, but what
I enjoyed the most was the effective depiction of
panic. You could feel everyone was dead-afraid,
harmless, desperate. If it wasn't for the ending,
I would've rated it perfect. But what's 10-15
minutes of deception vs over and hour and a half
of pure apocaliptic delight?

The Pest

I remembered liking it a lot when I was a kid so I
watched it recently with my g/f... God was I
dissapointed haha. A classic, just not a good one.

Batman: Dead End
|
|
prolly the best fan flick. well made, respectful
toward the comic strip atmosphere and philosophy,
just a weird ending.

Batman Begins
|
|
I think it's a good batman movie but I was a bit
dissapointed.. It looked like every year's summer
blockbuster with a bit of a better 3 dimensionnal
character.. I didn't like the voice Bruce took as
batman nor his jokes on the material he'd buy for
his costume, I didn't like the many Gotham
citizens or drunks or hobos saying funny lines
when action was happening, I didn't like the scene
with Gordon in the batmobile, I didn't like batman
destroying half of Gotham.. those kinda things.
Also, in my opinion, the caped Batman with bat
ears and stuff worked better visually in the 2
first ones. I explain myself: Tim Burton's style
has a comic book, colorful twist to it. When you
put such a character in a Tim Burton movie that
has humour in it and stuff, it works fine. But
when you put it in a movie that tends to be
realistic and dramatic, it just doesn't fit imo.
Anyway, still better than the Schumacher series. I
liked Scarecrow, a lot, even if he wasn't ugly
like he should be. Rent it, it'll

Scary Movie 3
|
|
This is my favorite of the series. Good old
slapstick comedy with Charlie Sheen, Leslie
Nielsen and such and less gross sex jokes, tho
there still are some good ones. A must see.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones
|
|
If you cut the middle part of the movie with all
the cheezy love scenes with Anakin and Amidalla
running in the field with waterfalls on the
background and all, you get a pretty decent movie.
The scenes on Camino and the final battle are
pretty well done with decent acting, but please,
Lucas, stop trying to guide your actors, you're
terrible at that.

The Grudge
|
|
I actually had a good scare at the theater but I
was pretty bored when I saw it again on tv. Not
really because I knew the punches, but it had lost
its atmosphere. Really the kinda movie you've got
to see on a big screen with a dark mood. Anyway,
average.
|
|
Darkness
|
|
I think it wasn't too bad. I liked the sound
clipping effect, twas creepy, tho it made some
punch pretty obvious in advance. It wasn't scary
(as most scary movies lately) and it lacked a bit
of darkness (especially considering its title) but
I'll rate average because I didn't expect more.

Scary Movie 2
|
|
I personnaly think this is the worst of the
series. Althought the first scene (the exorcist
parody) is pretty good, the reste is crap. The
third one is the best, the first one is a classic,
and this one... well... you know.

Kill Bill: Vol. 2
|
|
Personally I prefered this one. I think both parts
are artistically great, part one had a lot of
action and blood, but it seriously lacked a good
storyline and some of Quentin's awesome dialogues.
Of course, it was the introduction of the overall
movie, so it's understandable. Tho, with its great
western look, its developped scenario and some
priceless dialogues, part two really is my
favorite.
|
|
Kill Bill: Vol. 1
|
|
I think what sidefriction is missing is that this
movie is first of all a pastiche (There are
numerous references such as the Green Hornet
theme), and second of all, a bit of a parody as
well, hence the lack of realism. The animated
part, IMO, is totally delightful and goes well
with the rest of the movie since everything there
is inspired by japanese cinema, either old
japanese series/movie or anime. I think it's not
to be taken too seriously. Quentin had a passion
for japanese culture and he wanted to honor it.
And I'm not saying this because I totally loved it
; I think part two is way better. I just hate it
that a lot of people unfortunately watch this
movie and flame it without even thinking about the
influences that created it or Quentin's artistic
intention.

Why can't people understand and enjoy this movie?
Everytime I mention it to people they laugh or
make a funny look. Sure it's a B. Sure it's cheap
and has a pretty strange storyline. But I do think
it's a great movie. Bruce acts superbly and this
weird unusual drama/comedy/soft horror mix seems
nothing less than refreshing to me.

Evil Dead II
|
|
My all time classic. Much better than the first
one that took it too seriously and left a sour
taste in my mouth with that deranging three-rape
scene... Raimi made the right decision by reaching
a great balance between horror and comedy, with
outsanding camera work and sound editing. The
laughing deer scene, the posessed hand scene, and
this great huming Evil roar that impresses me
every time. Aw, but I'm getting too sensitive
here...

Sin City
|
|
This is so identicial to the comic strip (except
maybe 2 or 3 minor things) and yet so refreshing..
Seeing on the big screen what I've read and
enjoyed so much pleases me even more. The colors
(don't be fooled, there are colors), the music,
the pleasant over-acting and the GORE... my my...
can't wait for the DVD to come out...

Predator 2

Oh God... Pretty funny to watch, but such a
shame-of-a-movie... The first one is a classic
tho.

Predator

One of my classics... it's THE cheezy/action
packed/pussy face alien movie I just can't stop
watching.
