La Horde (2009)

French zombie movie.  Old dude was a great character.  Otherwise kind of been there, seen that.

Three out of five Chinamen, which is not the preferred nomenclature, dude.

:p

Okay, any gratuitous nudity is too much.  Compare to Trance, which also had nudity, but it was nudity that fit the story, rather than nudity done because "hey, we're making a movie, so we can show women's breasts!"

v/h/s (2012)

Horror/slasher anthology film.  A few good stories, a few not as good.  The most disappointing part of this was the framing device, which was stupid, illogical, and ended very lamely.  Also, there was way too much gratuitous nudity.  Sure, 15-year-old me would have loved it, but 39-year-old me could tell that much of it was made by dudes who haven't grown up.

Two out of five tapes.

They really spelled VHS that way? Were the filmmakers afraid JVC was going to sue? Poor Betamax hasn't gotten much horror movie love since Videodrome...

LOL!

He's "a little fuzzy," get it?  He's SilverWook.  HAHAHAHA!!!

Oh, and the other stuff was funny too. ;)

<span style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em;">I swear I'll open my own main artery if I must ever view this again!</span>

Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943)

Like any modern black comedy or rap music video, this cartoon is incredibly racist.

The Mist (2007)

When I first saw this movie, I felt that the ending was kind of forced and didn't work that well. My mind's been changed this time around, though, and I think it does rather fit with the overall pessimistic tone of the film. All-in-all, I found this a good film.

The Ninth Gate (1999)

The premise was good, and it started off interesting enough, but it became a slog through tedium in no time flat. If this movie was trying to make the case that Satanism is awe-inspiring and cool, it failed; more than ever, I believe the Prince of Darkness and his minions to be toothless old dogs with more bark than bite.

Alien Hunter (2003)

A watered-down ripoff of The Thing with a little bit of Independence Day thrown in the mix in a failed bid to spice things up. The best thing I can say about this movie is that it is perfectly harmless (and that Leslie Stefanson was nice to look at).

The Thing (1982)

I remember the first time I watched this film (or semi-watched; I missed half of it) I thanked God that no creature like the Thing actually existed. Suffice it to say, my reaction wasn't nearly that strong this time around (I've become the teeniest bit jaded over the years, after all), though I still feel kind of bad for that dog. All I can say, really, having now seen the movie in its entirety, is that it was a decent film, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again.

Halloween (2007)

I'd just like to say, up front, that I hold the original film in no high regard. Maybe if I had lived and seen it back in the 70's when it first came out - when the slasher subgenre was in its infancy - it would have meant something special to me; alas, as a kid of the 90's/00's, it's just an average film - better than the typical slasher film, but nothing stellar. With all that aside, I still have to say that this remake is a piece of shit. That's no surprise, though, seeing as this is a product of Rob Zombie, who is a connoisseur of shit. Everything was unnecessarily ugly and gritty, not one single character - expect Danny Trejo's - was the least bit sympathetic, and the "heroine" was an annoying, unlikeable bitch who should have been brutally murdered but wasn't for some stupid reason. It's a sad thing when the only good performance in this turd of a movie came from a pair of kids in one scene late in the film.

The Strangers (2008)

I honestly don't mind movies with unhappy endings where the villain wins, but the protagonists should still get a few good hits in before the time for them to bite the bullet comes. That never happens in this bland, lifeless, uninspired film; Liv Tyler and her boyfriend/husband/whatever just keep failing again and again up to the very end *yawn*. If I never see this movie again, it'll be too soon.

The Hitcher (2007)

As far as remakes go, this is far from bad. That doesn't make it any less pointless or the boyfriend any less of a stupid douchebag, however.

Trick 'r Treat (2007)

To be quite honest, this was a better film than I expected it to be. While being something of an uneven, haphazard mess, it was still endearing in how completely weird it was (seeing Dylan Baker as a Halloween candy-poisoning faux-vampire who gets devoured by a coven of werewolves is indeed a sight to behold).

Supergirl (1984)

God, I knew this was going to be a bad movie, but nowhere near as bad as it turned out to be. Supergirl as a dumb blonde with a horrible taste in men? Faye Dunaway as a witch with a horrible taste in men? God, it all just puts a horrible taste in my mouth. Peter O'Toole's drunken(?) performance and the scene where two truckers try to rape Supergirl were the only enjoyable parts in this awful piece of garbage.

Magnolia. I didn't like it.

I was given it (and Salo) for for free when I purchased a Gamecube game from a now closed down second hand DVD/Games shop near my mum's house.

I kept Magnolia and recently sold Salo (hideous film) for more than the cost of the game which I gave to a charity shop.

I liked it.

A bit too long but diverting none the less.

Supergirl is a brilliant film not perfect by any means but better than any of the Burton related Batman films.

I can see a clear line of connection between it and the work of Joss Whedon... honestly.

I liked Children of Men, good stuff.

Going to try to talk my friends into watching Don Hertzfeldt's It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012) when we get together tonight. I always really loved Hertzfeldt's Rejected, which I think was introduced to me on this site via Nanner... For some reason I started thinking about Rejected today and decided to check out some of Hertzfeldt's other stuff. Looks like he has gone onto be pretty successful.

Ouch! I'm not even going to ask which cut of Supergirl you watched. You didn't even like Jerry Goldsmith's score?

The scene with Max Headroom as lecherous trucker was in questionable taste.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Without a doubt, this is the weakest film in the franchise I've ever seen; it had all the subtlety of a chainsaw to the groin.

The Fog (2005)

The first time I saw this movie, I hadn't seen the original, so I took it to be a rather average film - not too good or bad, just okay. Now, though ... God above, this is an abomination. Fishermen who shave their chests? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!! (Tom Welling, everything connected to you sucks - I'm glad your career as an actor is virtually dead) Oh, and don't get me started on that stupid party scene on the boat - why can't a black person be the least bit intelligent and agreeable in movies anymore? Why do they always have to be written as obnoxious, sex-crazed idiots with bad taste in music?

Everyone associated with this garbage should be afflicted with a bad case of CG leprosy.

The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)

Lord, this is a dumb movie. Not stupid, just dumb - completely, utterly, thoroughly, dumb.

Also, as an aside, Erica Durance and her fake tits suck.

Drag Me to Hell (2009)

I liked this movie, but it would have been far better had Raimi resorted to the practical effects he grew up on instead of utilizing the cheap, shitty CG he used here. Seriously, couldn't the the malevolent handkerchief have been accomplished through use of strings or wire, the possessed goat with animatronics, or the pit to hell with an actual hole in the ground complete with orange lighting and a bunch of guys wearing rubber demon arms?

Did you really watch twenty-seven movies over this last week?

Yep, indeed I did. I have lots of time to kill, so I spend it watching 3-4 (occasionally five) movies a day.

That's intense! I probably get to watch about 3-4 movies a month.
