That's what made him an instant star because he showed amazing ingenuity and visual flair on a budget of nothing. No one makes an action film for $4000 quite literally 1/100 of what would be considered a "low budget film."

The story was weak, I give it huge props because the imagery and themes are like a tex-mex filtered spaghetti western and the story is the first film in the Trilogy that continues with Desperado & Once Upon a Time in Mexico which were made with Millions of dollars.

I understand not thinking it was awesome, because it ain't, but it is an important film.


I just watched
Black Book

Paul Verhoeven's Dutch language WWII themed flick is a gem. And excellently complicated tale with relentless action, tension, tragedy, sex and actual (and unexpected) romance. Some of Verhoeven's best work, and I say that as a fan. The Acting is top-notch. The more I contemplate it, the more I like it.

9/10

I understand that part. It was just a huge let down, probably because i saw 2 and 3 first.

ShortBus - Wow.... I just couldn't get past the first 10 minutes, there must be something about a guy blowing a load in his own face that I just can't watch(I'm serious, I starteg gagging and had to turn off the movie). 1/10 (I like to think of myself as open minded, but I just couldn't watch the rest)

I'm splitting a ten ticket deal with my girlfriend for the Glasgow film festival, I read about REC, considered it as a possible 5th, you have given it some hope.......

Iv'e narrowed it down to ReC, Teeth and the Areial..... Has anyone seen all three and can recomend one?

It's showing at the film festival here, I'm not sure if it's on General release anywhere.

Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix- Very Good

The Reaping- Much better than I was expecting, worth watching.

The Borne Ultimatum- FABULOUS.

The Invisible- very good, very eerie.

Ratatouille- ok

Resident Evil:Extinction- I loved it and I could care less what anyone says.

Alvin and The Chipmunks- I really thought this was one I would have to break out the iPod... but it was very funny and parent friendly. I recommend this for everyone. There are alot of laugh out loud moments:)

If you can deal with the subtitles, and can read fast, because its in spanish and they speak fast, then I'd say go for REC, there was this one part, that I was expecting something to happen, and my eyes are glued to the screen, gripping my seat waiting for it, and then it happens, and even though i was expecting it, i jumped outa my seat. It was great. OH yeah btw, if you bitched about Cloverfield because of the POV then don't watch this, its just as bad.

Oh yeah, I just re-watched Return of the Living Dead for the first time in a few years. God I can't believe how lame they look now compared to back then. Back then they looked cool. Both the zombies and the people.

And I am pretty sure that me finding two characters, and their actions, in a movie unlikeable and unfunny doesn't mean that I "need to learn" anything.

I agree, you don't need to learn anything, now go make me a sammich :cool:

Thunder Road

Death Sentence...that movie was tight. James Wan is the man.

Perfume: The Story of a Murder (2006)

This was kind of a let down for me. It had good intentions, and it was visually arresting, but I had a hard time buying any of it.
