The Hamiltons.

Liked this one a lot. Definately the strongest of the 1st set of Films to Die for so far.
(there's a couple i havent seen yet)

one of the actors wasnt so great but it helped serve the rawer atmosphere of the film - something i like in horror.

i was suprised - and pleased - by the ending.

Hell in the Pacific (1968). American film hero Lee Marvin and Japanese film hero Toshiro Mifune battle it out in this flick whose premise consists of two soldiers, one American and one Japanese, that are stranded together on a deserted isle during World War II. The rare dialogue, sans subtitles, helps the viewer to feel the frustration between these sworn enemies. Some of the scenes, shot in the Rock Islands of Palau, was georgeously splendid. This movie is a great example of how men deal with propaganda generated hatred whilst being face to face, literally, with their "enemy." Ashe.

Yep its a blast. All these giant monster flicks of the 60s from Japan are great.

(think Nick was trying to pull a Raymond Burr here, or maybe Honda sucked him in)

It is a pretty good film. Sure Martin and Near Dark did it better but that one's a solid indie flick. Wasn't there talk of a sequel?

no idea - i'm just getting into these after dark films for the 1st time.


last seen : Penny Dreadful.

one of the most annoying films i've ever seen.
Mimi Rogers was annoying (i usually like her)
the lead girl was annoying ... crying and freaking out for 90 minutes..

and the whole picking up the weirdo thing was one of the most rediculous sequences i've ever seen. 'no thanks, i'm not hungry'
