Unbreakable
the 2nd resident evil movie
Army of darkness
the watchmen
sin city
Watched Pusher with English subtitles and thought it was awesome. Looking hard for Pusher II with English subtitles but cant find it anywhere, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Got Kick-Ass on Blue-Ray.
My third time seeing and and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. Of course it probably had something to do with watching it on my buddy’s 46inch wall mounted 3D HDTV(playing CoD on that thing is awesome).
I acquired a 1 Terabyte media player for really cheap during the summer and have it just over half full with various TV shows and movies. Just finished the first two seasons of Castle(entertaining, nothing special) and getting my way through How I Met Your Mother again(love that show).
Also watched Taken again during the weekend. Saw it in the cinema and didn’t see the big fuss over it. Didn’t see anything more special this time. Entertaining, 7/10. Good but not great.
I saw Salt about two weeks ago.
Not terrible but I’d struggle to say it was good as well. Needlessly complicated and poorly acted in parts. Not much more to say than that…
I was at a horror convention this past weekend and saw a couple flicks called Mountain Mafia and Steampunk the movie. My only comment is they were both heavily influenced by Guy Richie’s work.

He’s on facebook if you’re on there too.
Weekend stuck on Kandahar Hell. So, I watched the following over two nights.
The Karate Kid (new one)- pretty damned good in my opinion…
A-Team- I enjoyed it. Simple fun.
Harry Brown- One badass pensioner.
Solomon Kane- would’ve been awesome if I could see the last 3rd of it. Damn bootlegs…
The Stranger- bad. Just bad.
Twilight Saga: Eclipse- not bad. Yeah the premise of the series is geared to the lil girls, but the action wasn’t bad at all.
Predators- I enjoyed it, although, Brody could have talked normal, instead of the wannabe hard “whisper” voice he spoke with. Topher Grace was good.
Legendary- A WWE financed movie with John Cena as a wrestler…the REAL kind. Not an action flick, but very enjoyable for both the wrestling theme, and Patricia Clarkson. A very hot older chick.
It actually sucks ass not being able to train and such. As fun as movies can be, I enjoy moving about and trainng more. Deuces…
The Town - Like The Departed and Heat had a baby.
Hurt Locker = Nothing special, If more people got blown up it would of been good.
Mystery Team = Can’t beleive I watched the whole thing.
Black Dynamite = Nice, I know that big tittied nurse is a porn star just can’t place her.
Day of the Dead = sucked balls but Mena Suvari is the bomb.
Dolans Cadillac = Christian Slater, pretty good for a B gangster movie.

One of the most under-rated movies ever made IMO. Just sheer badassery…
why did Angry Vader leave?
Just watched Get him to the Greek and I was surprised at how funny it wactually was. Best Lines go to Pharrell Williams and P_Diddy
Pharrell “You’re five zippers away from Thriller”
P-Diddy “And you’re one pink shirt away from Charlton”

It’s CARLTON duuuhhh.
Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
What the hell? If you are going to remake a classic, why just redo the exact same script? this is basically the first 80’s movie only with a worse lead actress and a tad more backstory about who Krueger was…which is NOT what you want if you expect for your monster to remain scary.
The scene where Freddy pushes through the wall over Nancy’s bed actually looked BETTER in the original because they did it without CGI. They used a latex wall for him to push through back then. This time, it looks so cartoonish you can’t possibly find it scary.
Overusing CGI does not make a movie better and doing a remake with ZERO fresh ideas is a waste of film.
This had potential. They screwed it up.
Wall Street 2: I REALLY wanted to like this movie, as the original Wall Street is among my favourites, but it just didn’t do it for me. Shia LaBeouf and Gecko’s daughter have about the worst couple chemistry I have ever seen in a movie. However, the Sheen cameo was priceless
The Human Centipede: I found this so ridiculous that it was almost comedic. The part of the German doctor was well acted though.
The Last Exorcism: I watched this again in the theatre, as the downloaded version was very blurry in parts (goddamned Russian film pirates! At least hold the camera straight in-between your swigs of vodka!). I won’t spoil it, but I think it is worth seeing. It kind of meanders in parts and gives you the impression that you know exactly what is going to happen next, but the last 20 minutes make you say “holy shit!”. At least, they did to me.

LOL THE LEGION man when that trailer come on the theater for District 9 and the guy said some cheezy line like “Because your child is the only salvation for mankind” the whole theater laughed. IDK how you can actually be excited for that movie LOLOL

You know, my judgment in predicting the quality of films isn’t always the best, as clearly evidenced by what a heaping pile of shit “Legion” was.
Darkness Falls - A decent scary movie that came out around the time the first Boogeyman movie came out (2003). Both of those movies make you jump more than Nightmare on Elm Street.

Darkness Falls, yes. Loved it. Boogeyman…no.
Watched Pandorum for the first time on thursday night…and for the second time on friday night. Awesome, awesome movie. Currently sitting in my top 3 “scary” movies.
SPLICE - Ok to Nice.
Spoiler:
The lead actress from Dawn of The dead (remake) tries out a new role with Adrien Brody as an irritating military lab tech who enjoys long walks on the beach, mai tais and blowing past codes of ethics in science. Working on creating a new species through gene splicing, she decides to drag Brody into the dark side by insisting they secretly use human DNA after hitting minor success with non-human dna apparently because of her own ticking biological clock.
Anywhoo, they do it, they succeed, they fuck up, all hell breaks loose.
I know, I know, “Didn’t that movie used to be called Species?”, but Species was way faster than this and the creature they made was actually more alien in the end while being more human at first. This does the complete opposite turning into a sci fi drama.
This is relatively slow paced but manages to be creepier because of how human they make this thing…in other words, they made an effort to imply the predatory/unpredictable side of it lay in what made it human.
I think the underlying message is, “Sex kills”…and, “a woman scorned…especially if she can grow wings…and may or may not be a woman”.

I thought the first Boogeyman was decent. They didn’t try to explain what that thing was. The sequels sucked ass.

Now I could be wrong, but didn’t the begining of Boogyman look exactly like the start of Darkness Falls (a fav of mine). I thought it was a cheap rip off
