Can you at least tell me if it was good or not?!?!?!?!?!?:p:D:p:)

Its a fantastic film. Certainly gets my recommendation.

Island Of Death (1977)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0188527/

Huge kudos to the horror channel for showing the full uncut version they genuinely risked being taken off the air for broadcasting it if non-horror fans saw it. It really is spectacular in terms of taboo breaking and sexual "depravity". It is undeniably mean spirited but gripping nonetheless. It really pushes things as far as it can and towards the end you are so bombarded with reprehensible scenes it will keep you thinking about it for days afterwards. Never a dull moment but you might want to take a shower after you'vce watched it-not for the easily offended of course but a must see for a very corrupt viewing experience.

Agree, it was insane:D

Sorry, I didn't say anything because that film is almost always considered a masterpiece. And it really is. I think it's the first Kubrick film in which he started to clearly dominate the medium.

Red State

So here's my issue with this movie - The fact that crazy religious institutions like the Westboro Baptist Church exists gets me so fired up that I could care very little about the additional pseudo-political statement that Kevin Smith is trying to make - I just want to see these fuckers skinned, fried, and sodomized.

*ahem*

So I was pretty angry and riled up after watching Red State, which I think was the point... But what bothers me more about it is that, in terms of myself, Kevin Smith is preaching to the fucking choir:

• I already think that crazy religious fuckwits like the Westboro Baptist Church are self-righteous evil fucks.
  
• I also agree that government can be just as over-zealous when it comes to addressing cults (Smith is very obviously emulating the horrors of Waco).

So, I watch a movie like Red State and I see these points that Smith is making, but since I am already on that side, I feel as though I ultimately learn nothing new - I'm just utterly incensed.

So I'll try to give a review that is more objective:

• The movie is definitely intense.
  
• The direction is solid, especially the gunfight.
  
• The acting is incredible, specifically from Goodman (though not a big surprise) and the creepy Michael Parks
  
• The movie is definitely heavy-handed, though Smith does like to revel in his diatribes. Some scenes definitely went long.
  
• For the most part, the characters were two-dimensional, which bothered me a little bit - I with such an epic moral, it's a little disappointed that it's played out by caricatures.
  
• The end of the siege is one of the best resolutions that I've ever seen. Bloody brilliant.

In a nutshell, it's well-done but I didn't really fell like it covered new ground or did anything special for me other than piss me off.

Kudos to Smith for getting out of his usual mold. I think he did it well. Too bad that rumor has it his next movie will be his last.

3/5.

LOL thought only people from this part of the world used that saying :D

Maybe I got it from you. :p
