Yep, shared.

Like I said though, the good news is that now Raimi is supposedly working on the next "real" sequel as his next project.

It was my wife's turn to pick a movie from the old Netflix account. She chose Paranormal Activity 4. I'm not a huge fan of any of the movies in the franchise, but I'll watch them since my wife will watch movies I enjoy even if they're not her thing. I will say this though, the woman who has played Katie in all four films is freakin' HOT! :D

Then we will have to disagree because that shit was the bomb, I'm not saying it is better than the original but I think it is just as good. I'm glad they took the comedy out of it and made it a more serious movie, I'm glad they gave a better explanation on how the book got there. Drag Me to Hell is shit compared to this new version of Evil Dead. I think the writers and director showed extreme respect for the source material and I know for a fact that Raimi and Campbell love the end product and that the original wasn't the movie they really wanted to make so it doesn't matter in the least whether you liked it or not. To each their own.

Here is what Raimi says about it. http://collider.com/sam-raimi-evil-d...rgeist-remake/

Dark Reality

Took me 3 days to finish this bore fest, so these girls get abducted and thrown into a small room..what happens next? NOTHING

Again, spoken as though that validates what you're saying to you...it's like you don't think you can have a thought of your own without having to back it up in this way.

Then stop feeling the need to champion the movie like you take personal offense to my opinion, and we can stop talking about it.

You liked it. I didn't. Said that in the first place.
I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind so any time you want to go ahead and drop this...


Last night I watched "Red".
I'd not bothered with this as I'd heard it was based on a miniseries by Warren Ellis that I'd read and quite enjoyed, and that they'd expanded the idea hugely into a completely different storyline.
I thought it looked ok, but was never really interested - I think I may have been fresh off seeing "wanted" which didn't really do it for me.
Though I saw a trailer of the second film...looked pretty good.

I grabbed the first one, and I actually quite enjoyed it...it might be one of my favourite Bruce Willis outings in some time.
Deliberately over the top in both scenario and characters, but the end result was something actually enjoyably entertaining, and fun.
Yes, it's a far cry from the comic I read a few years ago...only really the first five minutes were related at all, the rest was a completely new storyline - this is an example of this done well, unlike a few other films I've seen fail at the same.

It's a fun ride. Great cast. Decent storyline. Funny.
While it's still fresh in the mind off first viewing I'd probably give it an 8/10.

Well they aren't going to say a movie they produced is bad are they? :D

Django Unchained

Way too long. And I keep forgetting how much Quentin Tarantino loves gore and blood. I didn't dislike it, but I don't think I'll watch it again.

The Man With The Iron Fists
Pretty much what I figured it would be, over the top martial arts. The ending seemed a bit quick and being RZA's project it's got a few spots of Rap/Hip-Hop music which automatically makes me want to skip those scenes, but most of it was entertaining. I don't know that I'd ever feel the need to watch it again though.

I understand what you're saying but I really don't see Raimi or Campbell putting money into something they felt disrespected their original vision. Like I said though, to each his own, I loved it you didn't, no big deal.

Watched Miami Connection a few nights ago. Loved it.
