In the Mix

This was "The Sopranos" meets the Ghetto! Everything in this movie was wrong and inept. Usher can act, just can't star in good movies (like Jamie Kennedy) and Chazz Palimenteri should feel ashamed of himself. He's a great actor, and to flush his acting chops down the shitter like this was a bad choice! But, the worst thing about this movie was Junior, the white wannabe-gangsta. He was not needed and just slowed the movie down even more than it was doing to itself. I knew I should've passed on this one!

Ernest Goes to School
I've always been a fan of Ernest P. Worrell. I've grown up watching him, and still enjoy his movies. Well, the latter of them anyway. Ernest Goes to School was one of the last good Ernest movies. Sure, it got a little bit too cheesy and stupid for me at times, but it did have me laughing at times. Also, we get to see a pre-MadTV Will Sasso in here as a football player for the school's team the muskrats. I think he handled his performance well, especially since he didn't have much to work with. I'm glad to see a good Ernest movie, since the past few I've seen sucked (Slam-Dunk Ernest, Ernest in Africa, Ernest Rides Again).

The Beast of Yucca Flatts

Just been watching the first series of Six Feet Under on dvd.
Havent ever seen it much before, always thought it looked good.
Solid continuous storyline, decent "mini" stories throughout. The characters/relationships are pretty good, and the dialogue great, and it doesn't spare the weirdness.
I'm glad I got a chance to watch it...I'd reccomend.

Been watching a compilation DVD called "Extra Weird"...a sampler of the weirdest DVD collection on Earth.

I'm thinking filmmaker2 would love this.

Watched a couple pretty good ones tonight:


Tim Burton's Corpse Bride


Being a big fan of Burton, Ive been looking forward to seeing this one for quite awhile. To be honest it was a bit disapointing, but still a good film. First off, I love Burton's style. Thought it was interesting how the world of the living was dark and drab, while the world of the dead was brightly coloured. Great contrast. The songs weren't bad, but very derivative of much of Elfman's older work, not only Nightmare Before Christmas. The plot was pretty interesting though, and there were quite a few funny parts, so it wasnt all bad. Overall this is a decent Burton flick, but doesn't even compare to Nightmare Before Christmas, which isn't one of his best films in the first place.


7/10




Riding the Bullet


I've read plenty of mixed reviews on this one, and tonight I finally got around to watching it myself. Definitely a very strange movie, but certainly not in a bad way. Maybe it's just me, but Jonathan Jackson reminded me of a younger Johnny Depp, which is by no means an insult. This is the only film I've seen him in, but if this film is any indication of his other work, I must say he's a pretty fine actor. To be honest, the whole cast did a great job in my opinion. The plot was typical King fare, though it did have it's little tweaks to the formula which I enjoyed. Some scenes seemed to drag on forever, but overall this was a fairy fast-paced film. I think it would have fit in very well in another Creepshow sequel if it was a tad shorter, seemed the kid of story that would fit. The message was good, and I really like the ending. Easily one of the best horror films of the last few years.

8.5/10

Stay Alive -
1/5 Stars */*****

Only reason, I like Sophia Bush, the main lead takes off his shirt in a pointless scene, and the ending picks up a bit with some decent imagary, but is overall lost.

Tale Of Two Sisters...Again...Well, actually, I HAD to watch it again because I fell asleep before the end last time...No WONDER I didn't have a clue what in the hell was goin' on:rolleyes: ...Now, I get it...

MAIL...I actually liked this one a LOT more than I thought I would (even with the subtitles...)...Even though I'm still not 100% 'into' the Asian horror films

Anatomy...German Film (I watched it dubbed:p)...This one was much better than I expected, too

Dark Harvest...I was expecting this one to be pretty bad...I wasn't disappointed...Just like Slash, only without the band, and Steve Railsback...

Blood Feast 2......Awesome Gore, but it didn't have nearly as much as Gore Gore Girls...Dustin has now officially become a Herschell Gordon Lewis fan...Now, if I could just find Gore Gore Girls (Dustin hasn't seen it, I KNOW he'd love it...I told him all about it)...and Blood Feast (the first one) to purchase...


I FINALLY bought Dark City, but haven't had time to watch it yet...Also bought The Eye 2
