Tales from the Hood (1995)

With a title like this, I excepted to hate this. After all, "Hoods" just bring to mind idiot ghetto assholes and dumbfuck rap artists and everything that comes with their moronic subculture. I was surprised to see that it was just a straightup anthology horror that just happened to focus on impoverished black people and issues they have to deal with, and that all the "gangsta" stuff was peripheral. It was definately a good movie, though I wasn't too fond of the ending.

Genuine (1920)

Not the best silent film I've ever seen - it was actually pretty boring, really. The skeleton with a clock for a head was a nice touch, though.

Creepshow III (2006)

I sure Stephen King and George Romero have never seen this movie. If they had, surely they would have gone back in time and killed their respective grandfathers before their fathers had ever been conceived, thus preventing their births and the creation of the Creepshow series from ever happening.

The Video Dead (1987)

I think I briefly experienced brain death by watching this piece of shit.

Hobgoblins (1988)

I'm sad the titular Hobgoblins didn't win - the human "protagonists" were a bunch of unlikeable dumbfucks who deserved ignominous deaths.

My Boyfriend's Back (1993)

I think this is the first film I've ever seen that's overtly dealt with necrophilia - comedic zombie necrophilia no less. Everything about this movie is unnatural - the character interactions, the dialogue, the scenes, the humour, etc. It's absurdist to the core - no one with a sane outlook on life can enjoy this movie for any of the right reasons.

In other words, I liked this movie.

Love Object (2003)

I'd expect a $10,000 sex doll to look more realistic than the one in this film. I guess the really realistic ones really go into the millions-of-dollars range.

The Resurrected AKA Shatterbrain (1991)

I loved Chris Sarandon's overacting in this film. His teeth, on the other hand, not so much.

Beyond Re-Animator (2003)

This may be an unorthodox opinion, but I think this is the best film in the Re-Animator series. I can't really say why - it just is.

The lack of CGI was good, too.

The Avenging Conscience: or 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' (1914)

An alright silent film, though I can't decide if I like the ending or not. I would have prefered to have watched a copy that didn't have unnecessary sound effects added to it.

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985)

Is it just me, or was this movie made with half the budget of its predecessor, and in a less serious frame of mind? Seriously, Wicket looks like something made for a school play, for Christ's sake, and sounds like he's going to utter the words "Me likey the flied lice" at any moment throughout the picture.

Corpse Bride (2004)

I actually liked this movie despite it being a Burton film; I guess it being animated instead of live-action had something to do with it.

Career Opportunities (1991)

I really liked this movie, though that's probably due to Jennifer Connelly's prescence more than anything else. Seriously, the woman is mesmerizing - especially back in the 80's-early 90's. I could watch a movie with nothing but her standing and posing and be entertained just by examining her from the various angles.

Anyway, back on track ... I feel the conflict near the end of the movie with the robbers was resolved a little too easily and suddenly; it's like the writers didn't know how to write their way out of the situation without resorting to the magical appearance of a previously-unseen-and-unmentioned shotgun.

European Vacation (1985)

The fucking kids ruined it. Seriously, all they did was bitch and complain, bitch and complain, bitch and complain (no irony intended). And don't get me started on the stupid jingoistic end credits.

Horror of Dracula (1958)

With all the hype surrounding this movie, I thought I would have enjoyed this movie. Unfortunately, the only parts I enjoyed were the scenes where Christopher Lee had dialogue; I found the rest of the film boring.

Vegas Vacation (1997)

Far better than European Vacation, but still nothing great; I think it's obvious at this point that they were running out of ideas and that Chevy Chase was getting too old for the part. Randy Quaid was definately the highlight of this movie.

Kwaidan (1964)

I liked the first story, the second was a little overlong but bearable, but the third ... God almighty - time couldn't pass any slower were it taking place in the centre of a black hole; I spent the whole time nodding off. By the time the fourth and final story came along, I just wasn't in the state of mind to enjoy it.

Ghost Chase AKA Hollywood-Monster (1987)

Roland Emmerich's early movies sure were weird. I can't even tell if the titular creature was supposed to have been human at one point or not - the script sure doesn't go out of its way to explain anything.

Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992)

I can't believe this was made by the same guy who made the original - he really dropped the ball with this one; the premise is preposterous, the plot ephemeral, the time/parallel universe travel rules are illogical/internally inconsistent, and the lead actress has all the talent of Keanu Reeves on an off-day. The only saving graces are Bruce Campbell and a very, very small few of the horror film references.

Frankenhooker (1990)

It is what it is - bizarre, but not as bizarre as it could have been (or as I would have liked).
