The Believer. As much as I liked American History X (and I know the subject matters of the two films aren't exactly the same), I just found this movie so much more powerful, and Gosling is amazing.

Sicko - 9/10
What can I say? I like Michael Moore's films. This time he exposing Health Care or "the lack of" Heath Care in the U.S.A. There are a lot of Health Insurance horror stories in the film... that are fucked up!!!! Sure, he only shows one side of the story, but that's the side I'm on. Moore loves to point the finger at the government, and so do I. :)

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Remains one of my ten very favorite films of all time.

You know, I am pretty sure that I have never seen an Argento flick. :(


And the movies for tonight from Night ONE of 8 FILMS TO DIE FOR...

It is late and I am very tired, so it will be a short rundown for now...


1. Unearthed


This movie doesn't try to do anything novel; Monster movie ripping off Alien 3. Yes, Alien 3. Didn't bother ripping off either of the good ones... The script was poor, the direction horrible (the director made up for lack of budget by over-using the shaky cam), and the special effects were pathetic. I consider this movie essentially Alien 3 with slightly better CGI but in the desert on an Indian Reservation... I give it 2 stars out of 5.


2. The Deaths of Ian Stone


The Matrix meets Dark City meets Groundhog Day... But not in a good way. At first glance, the concept seems intriguing and well thought-out. The scares are fantastic. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the first 2/3 of the movie was possibly some of the best horror film bits that I have seen... ever. The last 1/3 however... The movie seems to tack on inconsistent Hollywood themes as well as HORRIBLY written exposition. Considering how great the beginning of the movie was, the end was just... Terrible to take. I give it 2.5 stars, but only because the beginning was incredible. Otherwise, it would barely even get 1.

3. Borderland


Wow. Seriously. Wow. I am actually going to add this to the "Incredibly Gory F*cked Up Movies" thread. Borderland is slow-going at first because it did not fit in with the previous two frenetic monster movies. It is the branch of horror that treads the waters of investigative noir with some elements of torture porn and revenge. I honestly recommend this film. Just keep in mind: It starts slow with an increeeeeeeeeeedibly cliched set up: But, oh, it gets good. REALLY good. I give it 4.5 out of 5.


WOW this is a long post. I think it's sleep time for me.
