Evil Dead:

This movie kicked ass. Period. I loved the action and gore and I found many of the scenes genuenly scary (rare in this type of film, which is manly meant to shock and not scare). The acting was pretty awful, which is the only reason this isn't getting a 5/5.

Loved it: 4/5

It feels good to say what I want. It feels good to knock things down. It feels good to see the disgust in their eyes. It feels good and I\'m gonna go wild. SPRAY! PAINT! THE! WALLS!

Coffee and Cigarettes 4/5

It's a bunch of short segments in which we see various people (often familiar faces, including tom waits, bill murray, the white stripes, iggy pop, steve coogan, etc etc) shooting the shit over coffee and cigarettes. Each segment usually offers an interesting (at least) or funny observation on social interaction amongst different types of people.

Great character acting, and pretty sharp writing too. And the scenes change before you get bored of any particular couple.

 I found it very watchable and highly entertaining. Partly because it's amusing to see some of the known actors playing a somewhat askew version of themselves. My favourite scene is with Steve Coogan and Albert - no - Alfred Molina.

What are you doing at your computer desk? You should be out trying to find a theatre that shows this film.

Dreamcatcher (reaasessment): 10/10
Arguably the most absurd movie ever. It starts with an attempted suicide, utilizing psychic powers to find a woman's keys/hit on woman (which she only finds moderatly bizzare), etc. Four lifelong friends then go on a camping trip and we learn a retard from outer space gave them telepathy (in a lenghthy childhood flashback which is completly out of place), not to mention a scene inside one of the character's memory. Then everything gets even more weird when the guy from "My Name Is Earl" gets mauled by a killer turd. The captain from "band of brothers" is possesed by flesh eating ET, Morgan Freeman and friends blow up a starship, John Wayne is mentioned, a guy pees in the snow, another killer turd, everybody gets freckles, a guy takes down a helicopter with a pistol, a I'm a edgy teen guy turns into a mass of teeth and claws from hell, and two aliens turn into fetuses. Win.

Borat

It's hard to rate it out of 10, as it's not a normal movie at all.  But I will say it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

Pin Clock

my little bro and sis begged me to see

Piglett's big movie
One of the strangest movies of all time. the music was a bit annoying. part of it is still in my head. But for a kiddie movie, it was alright. nothing I'd normally see, of course, but alright. It also had that winnie the pooh charm. Not  :queer:  charm, but  :o  charm.
if there were two guys on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock that'd be pretty fucked up wouldn't it?

Kombucha

Homecoming: 8/10
Kind of corny for a horror movie but it rips into the current government so in that aspect I enjoyed it.
Dark Crystal: 8/10
Mmmmmm...
Monster House: 8/10
Rather funny and a decent story. I liked the old man.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.: 7.5/10
Lol @ giant Caterpies.
Halloween: 9.5/10
I expected this to be good. It was. It was funny how nearly everyone in the movie besides Michael Myers acted I'm a edgy teen.

The Prestige - 9/10

I was very much looking forward to this movie going in, so I was a little nervous that I was going to be disappointed after the first 15 minutes turned out to be a little slow. But once things picked up and the "dueling" began, it was great. I think my favorite aspect was the twists. I'd guess something, realize that I was wrong, go back to thinking that I was right, realize I was wrong, etc. And great acting all around. Oh, and Scarlett Johansson is hot. And Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. Hot.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - 9/10

I was skeptical about this one. Some of my friends said it was scary, and some said it was mostly boring courtroom drama. Well there was courtroom drama, but I didn't think it was boring. I think the integration with the possession parts was excellent. Also, I think the use of background noise and silence was used very effectively to evoke fear, rather than cheap scares. The lead actress also really played the role well, especially the physical aspect. I don't think anyone in this film was particularly hot. But for continuity, I'll say Emily wasn't too hard on the eyes.

Edward Scissorhands - It's my girlfriend's favorite movie, and she made me watch it with her. I can see where people are coming from when they say it's a good movie, but personally I hated it with a passion. I felt like it was just a movie where a bunch of people be douchebags to another person for 2 hours with no real conclusion to it all. Nothing changed at the end, the townspeople were still cockfaces, so it seemed like the entire movie was pointless. All it did was make you feel bad for the protagonist from start to finish.

Meh, it's Tim Burton. What are you gonna' do? I personally liked the film, but I see where you're comming from. It's much more of an art-house film, like alot of his films.

Everyone was mean to someone at my school, then they died. The kids at my school are still dicks.

Went the Day Well?

An excellent film made in 1942 -  shaped by the Ministry of Information in England - designed to shock people into not being complacent about the war. So that people would look at the idyllic english village portrayed in the movie and, firstly, remember how great their country is, and how wonderfully free and quaint everything is and, secondly, to inspire a fighting spirit in them.



It's extremely violent for the time - the more impact the better, in order to get the idea across.

It was filmed when a Nazi invasion was a possibility, and before the war was over, but from the perspective of a time after the war had been won by Britain (wishful thinking paid off?). It's an insight into the wartime mentality of the time, and the plot (if somewhat let down by an obvious hole.. which i still can't think of a good excuse for) is brilliantly entertaining.

Highly recommended. 4/5

It's kinda' like what that guy said in The Butterfly Effect. You can't change who someone is without changing who they were, and that's impossible.

Cars - 8/10

I don't believe Pixar can do much wrong. I would rank this movie among their worst, although it's still great, so that doesn't mean much. Great voice acting, amazing animation, some pretty funny lines. I didn't like that they seemed to waste a few characters, though. They set it up as though everyone in town was special in their own way, and then they proceed to only focus on half of them. Other than that, the story was a little cliche and predictable. But overall, excellent film. And, uh... the Porsche is hot. Or something.

Blade Runner: 9/10
Slightly confusing, but still a brilliant film. Harrison Ford gives a great performance. Ridley Scott's skills with suspense are still as sharp as when he directed Alien. A must see.

3/10
The Covenant

It's a movie you bring your girlfriend to see in your big sporty car after a long hard day of charging on daddie's credit card and shopping at the mall. It's about 4 boys who are in a convenant who happen to be male witches... I know what your thinking "Oh my God must go and see! well... rent anyways" it sucked it's about these preps and there cutesy little college and how it's getting all screwed up because another dude witch is hanging around. Trust me, don't waste the money.

To sum it all up:
Gay

Anyone here actually care for the film?

Btw thank you to:
Lospterman and Predator for their reviews on The Prestige and Evil Dead
