I saw that once, I really liked it too.

Yeah, a very funny serie from same team of Cowboy Bebop. The best chapters are that ones that are comical. I've got the complete serie and I've seen two times, a lot of fun!!!

A couple last night:

-Sin City (for the, like, 10th time)

-Muppet Treasure Island (I love Muppet movies. So shoot me.)

The Long Island Cannibal Massacre (1980)

Nathan Schiffs 3rd film. A true no-budget masterpiece.

Slither 6/10

Spoiler: It's a bit crap! But Lloyd Kaufman makes a cameo appearance and they show a bit of the Toxic Avenger.

Frankenfish 7/10
No brainer deadly fish film, good for a laugh.

Ice Age 2 8/10
Not as good as the first but pretty good.

that should read : Dragon Prince ,,

jesus, nice typing..

Nothing wrong with the Muppets. I watched that one myself not long ago, really enjoyed it. A few of my friends are 110% obsessed with that movie, they kind of creep me out. It's a great fun movie and everything...but not good enough to watch multiple times every weekend:eek:

Anyway, back on topic. The first movie Ive watched in a week:




House of the Dead, AKA Alien Zone [1978]


What an unfortunately titled film. If it goes by House of the Dead, it inescapably gets mistaken for Uwe Boll's quote-unquote "masterpiece", and if it goes by Alien Zone it's doomed to deceive audiences into disappointment. Looking past the title however, this isn't a bad film. Though as far as I'm concerned Creepshow is and always will be the be-all-and-end-all horror anthologies, this is still a nice effort. The wrap-around story is pretty weak, though the way the stories are presented is pretty cool. Ivor Francis plays a rather creepy mortician telling the macabre stories of his "aquisitions" to a man who just had a bit of extra-marital fun.

The first story is pretty weak, about a mean spirited teacher who gets whats coming to her. The main actress is awful, the attempt at special effects is just as bad, and the story isn't all that strong to begin with.

It picks up some with the second story, which concerns a man who lures women to his apartment and films himself killing them. The main actor is pretty over-the-top, but he makes for a pretty good lunatic. Unfortunately his victims leave a lot to be desired. The story isn't very original, but it was still interesting.

Story #3 is easily the best of the lot. It's about the world's two greatest detectives teaming up on a case...or are they? The acting in this one is surprisingly good, the American detective reminded me of a cross between Al Pacino and a teacher at my school. The story was great, the ending, though obvious, was fitting....overall this was a great story.

The fourth and final story was pretty good too, though not as good as it's predecessor. It revolves around a miserable man who gets himself trapped in a building and tormented endlessly by an unseen force. The actor was decent, the plot was good and it ended well.

The closing of the wrap-around story wasn't very good...very predictable and a huge letdown after seeing two pretty good stories.

Overall, this anthology is definitely worth watching. The low budget shows, but it's entertaining and has at least a couple really good stories. It does have it's flaws though, such as terrible acting and a very weak first story, so I cant rate it too high. I recommend seeing it for yourself.

6/10

Crash 8.5/10 - Excellent cast and terrific movie
Matchpoint 7.5/10 - Good movie, but didn't like the ending. Scarlett Johannson is one hot girl though

The Fly 2

This was better than I was expecting with some excellent cheesy gore. I was pretty entertained throughout and the storyline flowed pretty well with the original. All in all it was better than I was expecting it to be, but see the original before you see this one.

B-



A History of Violence

I didn't know anything about this before I got it except that it was Cronenberg. There was some good gore but more or less it was just a pretty cool crime film. Well acted and directed. No complaints. Good movie.

B+
