the thing about the Kill Bills films though - for me - is that i never once felt he was trying to do anything other than bring back some fond memories of some kick ass films ..

i can appreciate what Rob Zombie is doing (moreso in 1000 corpses) but Tarantino in my opinion is far more skilled.

remember the grind house stuff from the 70's was very in-your-face ... it makes absolute sense that Kill Bill will be also..


those were masterful films ...

Merlin's Apprentice with Sam Neill

It sucked. I didn't even make it through the whole movie. It was very slow and did not hold my attention at all. I don't need non-stop action in a movie, but at least keep the story interesting!

Zombie Holocaust


This is another one of the films I got for dirt cheap when Sam Goody by me went out of business and I'm pleased to say this one was actually worth the $2 I paid for it and then some!!! I was genuinely entertained pretty much from start to finish. The dialogue was terrible but other than that this was a really under-rated gem. Lots of gore, a fairly fast moving & engrossing plot, but the title itself is rather misleading. (There really weren't many zombies in it at all. It was more of a cannibal or psycho doctor movie than a zombie movie, but that's a minor issue.)

All in all, this film was really good. I enjoyed the ample cheesy gore quite a bit.

B+

V for Vendetta...

Wow. Portman is incredible in this, so is Weaving. He does so much just with his voice, and the movie just FELT like a Wachowski Bros film. Awesome.

I watched The Asphyx a few nights ago. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Basically, an English gentleman who dabbles in photography develops a method of photographing a spirit of death that visits the victim as they are about to die. His further experiments allow him to trap this spirit, thereby making the potential victim immortal. He has success trapping his own Asphyx, but when he tries to immortalise family members, things start to go wrong...

8.5/10 for this interesting British horror from the early 70's.
