Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[iSeymore]

Green Hornet (2010): Great movie, Seth Rogen and Jay Chou as masked vigilates who fight criminal cartels. Fantastic. Liked it in comparison to the 60's original starring Bruce Lee as Kato. I think this acting role was perfect for Seth Rogen and matches his personality in general.
Overall, I'll give this movie an 8/10. I loved this movie, 2011 is off to a great start. I only scored this an 8 because of the fact that the 3D effect sucked. Half of it was in 2D for christ sakes!

Last DVD watched: The Warrios (1979) Ultimate cult classic, set somewhere in a parrallel universe in New York, 1979. The armies of the night (countless street gangs) over took New York and all there were throughout the city was one giant gang brawl.

OVerall, I've enjoyed this film since I was fifteen years old.
Must watch for any cult classic fan. 9/10

Look what I got btw. cant even begin to explain how stoked I am.

I saw Motorhead open for Black Sabbath with Dio on vocals at Roseland years ago. Amazing show.

A very good, modern war flick. Matt Damon does well as chief warrant officer Miller on his pointless search for WMD in Iraq. Slick action sequences and solid political wrangling plot holding it together. Good film.

Night of the Comet (1984). The 80s were a confusing time. Night of the Comet serves as an embarrassing reminder that I was not in a coma when argyle socks and horrible hair were in. But this fine flick is more than a cheesy zombie offering with its hooks firmly entrenched in a past that has earned millions for psychologists. Many have claimed this to be a tribute to schlocky sci-fi of the 50s and 60s. But more than that, it takes a circuitous route in the exploration of loneliness and isolation, weaving it seamlessly into this apparent zombie parody. Pretty neat.

The story appeared as a loose affair but was actually pretty tight. Though there were a couple of times that it lagged a bit, calling into question just what was I doing watching such silliness, Sam's incredibly biting valley girl dialog would remind me of how much fun I was having. Things really don't heat up until the third act, but a bundle of fun is to be had from here on out.

The acting, while not the greatest ever, would not have worked had it been better than it was. My guess is that the actors were almost held back from exhibiting their acting prowess to keep the feel of Comet from getting away from itself. That said, there was never a cringe-worthy moment elicited from the cast, and maybe their restraint is more a testament to their abilities.

The direction was solid as well. But what really caught my eye was the camera work. Where the rest of the talent felt appropriately in check, the photography was allowed to really shine, and not in that "hey look at me and how great I am with my camera" kinda way. Shot compositions were expertly framed to exact just the right psychological response from the viewer but sans the ego obtrusively butting in for obnoxious approval. Not that I am against that sort of thing, but here it would have been inappropriate. My guess is that the director's hand played a large part influencing the cinematographer's hand. Either way it works and we the viewers are the clear winners.

In the end, Comet is End of the World fun that can be enjoyed for both its schlocky simplicity or its cryptic profundity. Merci.

Wait... argyle socks are not in??

Green Hornet.
Never heard the radio show, never saw the show...so I'm not too sure how it compares. Though it was a pretty decent movie, fun to watch...and I really liked the image conscious "nice guy but bad guy" villain. Not a bad origin story, some pretty funny banter between the leads. Cool action scenes, and a fight between the leads that was funny to watch and not quite as one sided as I'd have expected. Cool music, the whole thing felt a little Gotham-esque, and yeah...who wouldn't love the car?
I wasn't actually wanting to see this movie at all...but, I ended up enjoying it.
But seriously, 3d needs work still.

True Grit
Again, never saw the original...actually, I don't think I've ever seen John Wayne film at all, not being a western enthusiast, it's understandable I suppose (although the Shootist had an interesting premise from what I know) but yeah, never have seen him in a film.
I really liked this new version though, it felt authentic enough and well, couldn't find too much fault with anyones acting - as I understand it, this was the girls first big acting job, if so, I'll look forward to seeing her in future, she carried herself VERY well for a kid of her age.
Bridges was solid as always (and FUNNY...could it be? was John Wayne actually FUNNY?:confused: ?), Damon was...different...but good.
The whole thing felt pretty authentic, not that I would know.
The tale was simple, yet I found it enthralling and I enjoyed taking it all in.
I'd recommend it to western enthusiasts (nitpick they may?) and those who haven't seen many alike. It's just a damn solid film regardless of genre.

Yeah...the car was super cool but I think Seth Rogen turned it bit excessively funny.

A slow burn Britt school campus slasher where they didn't reveal the killer(s) at the end.

Rammbock aka Siege of the Dead (2010)

A pretty nice zombie film from Germany with a decent cast, good characterization and a simple story where an ordinary man...Michael comes to Berlin to seek his ex-girlfriend Gabi, and just after entering into her small apartment complex he faces head to head with an unknown outbreak that turns people into zombies!

Crap story with a terrible script.

My Soul to Take (2010)

Yeah..it was very clichéd, typical, there's nothing new and a pretty weak entry in compare to Craven's any of the earlier masterpieces but still I quite enjoyed it overall.
