I liked it.

I wasn't really paying a lot of attention in the first half due to a few things that came up so I'm probably going to watch it again.


it's one of my all time favorites ..

i loved the score .. and i especially loved the ending

and the character 'Shades' one of my all time favorites in any movie

I have seen this movie time and time again. I saw it in the theatres when it was first released about three to four times and then a handful of times on DVD since then and it still makes me laugh extremely hard. I think it was very well done by Kevin Smith and the way he wrote it made it come back full circle nicely.


i have to admit (and i could only admit it HERE without being crucified) that it was the only movie of his i didnt like.
there were some good moments (the quieter ones) that i liked - but otherwise - i was extremely disappointed.

He should never have brought back Jay and Silent Bob - it seemed desperate - a way to try to recoup the losses of JErsey Girl (which is actually a great film)

last seen : Triangle.

a Bryan Singer made for TV sci-fi miniseries concerning the Bermuda Triangle
Uneven and dragged out in places but not bad.
half the actors look like clones of better actors ... but they do ok.
Lou Diamond Phillips is actually really good in this.

watched half of it last night - the rest goes tonight.

I seriously think Zombie is one of the worst horror directors out there.

i dunno about that.. I dont like a lot of what he does - the long dirty stringy hair look is practically a theme in his films .. but i do find him a compatent - even excellent director when it comes to recreating the feel of past genre films.

nothing else has ever captured the feel of hoopers mayhem in Texas Chainsaw Massacre as zombies house of 1000 corpses. that film impressed the hell out of me.

i think he's going to do good work once he finds his groove and branches out into more origional territory.

he had a lot of balls remaking halloween.. i didnt care for it much - but technically it wasnt badly made.

i'm very interested to see what he does next.

Technically? I thought it was beyond miserable. I'm not even a huge Halloween defender or anything, it was just lifeless. Ho1000 and Devil's Rejects I won't even go into.

Yay. Another film overdosed with language and boobs and no point whatsoever.

I thought Rob took the sensibilities from the first Halloween and kind of combined it all with his white trash character cache while changing it just enough to piss off purists. It wasn't the best horror remake I've seen but at least he made it his own and didn't worry about holding back which could have led to a shot by shot remake with no personality.
