The Cold, AKA The Game
Well this was certainly a weird little film. Very low budget, very bad actors, very 80's...very strange! The plot is basically just a confusing rehash of House on Haunted Hill. 3 eccentric millionaires invite a group of people to stay at their mansion to face their greatest fears. The last one gets a million dollars. Pretty straight forward, but they still manage to make it a jumbled, confusing mess. At one point near the end, the narrator even admits he doesn't have a clue what's happening! The actors are exactly what you'd expect to see in a low budget 80's horror flick, which is to say that they couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag. They do have some amusing lines, including the best pick-up line ever "I had a vasectomy!". Really though, this isn't an awful film considering. It's interesting to watch, because you really have no idea what's going to happen from one scene to the next. Really odd and poorly made film, but still entertaining in it's own way. 5.5/10

Oh ya...I watched this yesterday for the first time and forgot to post:
Army of Darkness Being a huge fan of the Evil Dead franchise, and a huge Bruce Campbell fan in general, I knew I was going to enjoy this. It totally abandons the horror aspect of the first 2, but is still ALOT of fun. The plot is completly off-the-wall, and I loved it. It picks up where ED2 leaves off, with Ash transported to the Middle Ages. He has to find the Necronomicon in order to return to his own time, but inadvertantly unleashes Hell upon the world...literally. Great plot, kept me absorbed and enthralled from beginning to end. Ash has got to be one of the greatest characters ever put on film. He really comes into his own in this one, spouting more one-liners than ever. Bruce Campbell is a very underrated actor who really deserves more recognition. The rest of the cast are pretty good as well. Though it's nothing like it's predacessors, this is a great film. Sure it's kind of silly, but it knows what it is and has fun with it. "Hail to the king, baby" 8/10

I honestly didn't expect it to be half as good as it was and was surprised with the entire movie. Paul walker was decent, the dogs were great, and the story was actually decent. Not in my top 10 of course but I am glad we picked it up. PS: To answer the Sci-Fi question, Camp Cucamunga was (and I didn't know this before netflixing) a bad made for tv summer family movie. Rented it for the wife because she likes Aniston but check out this cast http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099212/. Full House, Wonder Years... URKEL. Yeah, then mix in John Ratzenburger, Breckin Meyer, G. Gordon Liddy, and Sherman Hemsley. Enough ranting, in my PS heh. Last edited by Despare; 06-23-2006 at 05:53 PM.

With the amount of 9's Ive been throwing around lately, Im starting to sound like Amalthea (no offence). I guess I'll have to swear off good movies for awhile...:p
The Sting "Winner of 7 Academy Awards!" the DVD box proudly proclaims. And now after seeing this classic for the first time, I have to say that it deserves every single one. Newman and Redford are perfect together as the two grifters that set of the sting of the century against a crooked banker played wonderfully by Robert Shaw. The rest of the supporting cast is great, especially Charles Durning as Lt. Snyder, possibly one of the most easily hated characters I can think of. I wont say anything more about the plot, because I went in blind and I think it was for the better. Suffice to say that unless someone has spoiled it for you, it'll surprise most anyone at some point along the way. Nothing else needs to be said about this film. A true classic, and anyone who hasn't seen it should do so right away! 9/10
