I liked the gore and the atmosphere but I think my favorite part was the music ESPECIALLY toward the end.

It is a complete disgrace to the original

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.

But it's way better than the rest of the sequels, surely?

Except maybe for Freddy's Revenge, which is very interesting (homo-eroticism and all) and underrated.

Ok, so I had nothing better to do today but watch movies. Got a problem with it?


Of Unknown Origin


Though I dont really consider it a horror film, if you are one of many who happens to be afraid of rodents this film will terrify you. Hell, even you you dont mind rodents it might freak you out a bit. Peter Weller is always a great actor, and he stars in this film as Bart, a man who wages an all out war with one hell of an angry rat while the rest of his life begins to fall apart because of it. He is the only leading actor in this film, and he carries it almost completly on his own. His dinner table speech about the dangers of rats was both hilarious and a bit unnerving at the same time. I liked how this film was almost self-mocking in parts, though it always kept a straight face about it and never went to far. The rat's point of view shots really show this. The scenes with the rat were all very well done, congrats to whoever trained the rat. The plot was very original, and I liked how smart the rat was. Always a couple steps ahead of poor ol' Bart. I think I jumped a foot when the damn thing came out of the toilet. Last but not least, that was one heck of a bat he made near the end!

Overall, this is a great film. Admittedly it's a bit cheesy in places, but it knows what it is and handles itself very well. Highly recomended.

8.5/10

The Cycle Savages

Pretty decent biker flick, one of the better ones I've seen recently better than Hell's Angels '69 and on par with The Glory Stompers.

Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown

aptly named - this was one of my bigger disapointments in a long time.

in typical big hollywood sequel fashion .. instead of the relaxed pacing and clever delivery of the 1st film, this one was - from the 1st frame - amped up, bloated, and just plain irritating.

again a sequal is ruined by the filmmakers looking at what made the 1st film a success ... and crunching it into a computer to come up with something bigger and brighter based on what worked the 1st time ...the 'key moments'

where the sequels of toy story and shrek made wonderful films by allowing a fresh movie/story to unravel ... ice age 2 felt forced and desperate. dont let the kids get bored - knock them dead and keep it coming. go go go go !!!!

such a shame.

Madhouse...Excellent...Everyone should see this one...It's got a little bit of everything...Some gore, psychological mindfuck, psychosis, murderous mental patients, ghosts, suspense, and a twist

Final Cut...With Robin Williams...This one was pretty good, too

Dracula 3000...Meh...It was okay...I guess...
