Last Seen Contemporary Movie

[NightOfTheLiving_Sam]

The Last Movie I watched was HomeFront [2013]

I enjoyed it! Very thrilling and entertaining. =)

[The Bloofer Lady]

DEAD GIRLS 1990

If cheesy slasher movies about all-girl rock bands with names like Bertha Beirut and Nancy Napalm make you sick....then get ready to vomit! Once the beverages take effect, I'm able to happily watch anything. This one's pretty bad folks, but I still managed to enjoy it.

In terms of horror...


Byzantium (2012)





I really loved this movie. It actually has a very similar construct to Interview with a Vampire in that it's a non-conventional vampire movie that's part present-day and part period piece as our main character tells her tale... The period piece is gorgeous and epic and well-shot... The present-day story is interesting and intriguing and I really love how it slowly unraveled the vampire lore. Saoirse Ronan is simply mesmerizing to watch and listen to - You have a strong script and strong acting - Definitely a must for vampire-lovers though the average horror fan may get bored (it's a slow-burner).

I adored it, though.

4.25/5

Frankenstein's Army (2013)





Sure, this movie has a lot of flaws... I mean, it's a "found footage" movie shot in WWII and everyone speaks English?? REALLY?! Also, the acting is a big shoddy at times...

BUT

When the movie gets to its climax... Oh, it's fabulous... Utterly fabulous. B-Grade-monster-movie-Nazi-experiment-sploitation-fabulous. I smiled with glee with the ridiculous creatures and the blood and gore... Honestly, I loved it and had a blast.

Definitely recommended for, uhm, I guess fans of B-Grade-monster-movie-Nazi-experiment-sploitation films?

Not a perfect movie but I had a damn good time with it.

3.75/5

Mulberry St. (2006)





MAN this is a fabulous low-budget take on the infection genre. One of my favorites... It's been a while since I've watched it and I forgot what a fantastic character piece this is, wrapped up in a horror/infection film.

Also the first movie by the director of Stakeland. SO recommended.

4/5

ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (2009)





BRILLIANT little low-budget zombie flick that specifically addresses issues of xenophobia and homophobia. Loved it.


3.5/5


...


And now for the non-horror...


Adult World (2013)





Really loved this subtle character piece. Emma Roberts is fantastic as a 20-something wannabe poet who lives in delightful hyperbole. Great supporting cast too of Evan Peters and John Cusak (wasn't sure he fit in at first but he was perfect as the antisocial grumbly poet she adores).

I'm not sure if it's for everyone, but it's definitely something that I could watch over and over again.

4/5

Twenty Feet from Stardom (2013)





Brilliant and fascinating documentary about backup singers - Absolutely a blast to watch. Incredible soundtrack and tons of talent and great interviews. Definitely recommended.


4.75/5

I knew you'd like Byzantium.

Solo (2013)



Friday the 13th meets You're Next!...??

Just kidding! It wasn't nothing like that. A chubby girl gets terrorized on a remote island as part of her camp counselor initiation.

100 Bloody Acres (2012)



A good gory-Aussie comedy.

>>: B

Home Sweet Home (2013)



A decently done typical home invasion flick but there wasn't a single clue why did that guy invade the house & killed them?

>>: B-

Omnivores (2013)



A young food critic & freelance writer gets an investing job on the recent emergence of the Clandestine Restaurants but soon his investigation leads him to a secret organization...a Cannibal Club! In compare to any recent Spanish thrillers, found it pretty dull and mainly the actor playing the lead was one of the reasons for that as he kinda reminded me of Kristen Stewart, for showing a same dull, expressionless look all the time in the movie.

Halloween (2007)

[Joe E Ville]

Still haven't seen Byzantium but really wang to see it desperately. Did watch Los Ultimos Dias and LOVED it.

Did see Omnivore and I agree with roshiq. Although I didn't love it because I found it plodded along with the pace of a club footed sloth. I must say the concept was interesting.

I need to give Penumbra another go.

[Joe E Ville]

Oh, forgot. Scatalogical references would be to easy to describe this movie but Underneath. The worst possible rip off of Descent. You need to see this in part for the make up effects that look like there were fabricated by a child. Pee ew. Pass the toilet paper.

Sorry to/for anyone involved in this film who may be on the forum.

'The Conjuring' (2013)
-Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga

Plot: Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence.

Phantoms Review: Truly excellent ghost story. Well acted, written and directed. Plenty of good BOO! scenes and a little humor mixed in. This film is not to be missed.

Captain America - The Winter Soldier.
While it's a somewhat compressed and slightly mixed up version of events...it works well. All in all IMO a much better film than the first one, and I'd say it's actually one of Marvels best to date. A really good, uncomplicated action film, that captures the spirit of the character very well.

The LEGO movie.
Hm. fun I guess. Nothing "wow". It's all Lego, that's kinda interesting.
Not a bad, though simplistic storyline.
Different to look at.
