I love that movie. I don't know how many times I watched that in college under the influence of something. The animation is poor by todays standards......

depends on what you mean by poor ..
it still holds up for me because each segment was done artistically - exactly as they were done in the comic magazines ..
thats one of the strong points for me ...

Dial 'M' For Murder

Still probably, in my opinion, Hitchcock's "smartest" film.

Silent Hill;
I'm not going to say how good or bad it was, just these statements. Recut the beginning better. It was way too choppy and didn't flow well. It's as if they had a longer version of the film, and wanted to cut time down so they choose random spots of the longer segments and through them in. It would have been better with her waking up from the car crash, and when she meets Cybil it would flash back to the chase - as if she was remembering. When explaining to Cybil why she's there, it could have then told us about Sharon's sleepwalking. I know the whole "cut down time" thing isn't true, as Sony passed the first cut of the film. So, what we saw is the director's cut, what was fist put together. Anyways, Sean Bean's character served no purpose. He wasn't even in the script originally. His segments in the film just ruined the tense moments as theyh seemed to come directly after one of the mother's "moments". He didn't act well at all in it, either. Though I admit the scenes where they cross each other in the two worlds was very eerie. I also though the whole thing was sort of... confused. It didn't know where it was going. It was sort of encounter, after encounter, with no real direction. Then we learn it's all been a "lead". They should have focused more on that, put a few more puzzles in and get rid of some useless jarble. The flashback film effect scene = GOD, however. And the child actors voice was so haunting. *chills*. I would have also liked a bigger dramatic impact in the last scene. Rather then have them fade out after the girl faints. I wanted to see what happened.

With these changes, and a bit more, I thought it could have secured itself as one of the best horror films this year. It might have enough already to do that - for fans of the game. But with these edits it would have been clearer what was going on, and less confusing. Also, I thought it could have had more of a "OMFG OMFG OMFG WHAT THE SHITHOLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT EDGE OF YOUR SEAT THRILL-RIDE!" effect.

What I got out of it was, it was nice to see all the monsters from the game and all the music from the game. It also had some relentlessly amazing kills - ripping people right in half? Or ripping flesh off and throwing innards at a church door? Amazing. But as for overall story, could have been SO much better. SOOO much better.

Oh, and all the new reviews have dropped it down to a 17% rating.
I can see why - critics don't play games - and this movie wasn't anything without it.
The movie's key lied in the naustalgia of the fans, or the eyecandy of seeing it in amazing CGI.

Wolf Creek


I don't know what all you people are complaining about, this movie was fucking amazing. I don't think it took as long as some of you said to get into it, only like 40 minutes, and it wasn't that bad... I think it had amazing build up, amazing gore, acting, plot, story, whatever. The *minor spoilers* terrified girls did an amazing job of... being terrified, especially the scene with kristy in the shed, and liz, when mick told her about putting her head on a stick.... her face was terrified! No ujump outs.... minor drawback for me, but the scene where mick was in the back of the car still scared me, even though i totally knew it was coming after hearing it from some of you guys. I expected a big jump out, but got a "heh heh heh heh" stab. Which was quite scary to me. I didn't like the crucifixion part.... don't know for sure why, it was chilling though. I didn't like the ending, but I guess it was suitable.

8.5/10

[The_Return]

I saw a few minutes of a silent film on TV last night, Im not 100% what it was though. Im thinking Der Golem, but Im not positive. The part I saw had a big, stone-like dude throw a woman off a tower. The background was colourized yellow, then changed to red when he threw her. Is this Der Golem?

Evil dead 2

7/10 (some things I just don't like, but it's truly a good movie)
Still think the mass amount of blood from the wall is the best part.

I didn't think it was so bad. Just different.

It was the Scream 2 of the series, not good, but decent.
