I find all priests dull. 

Even the one from Dead Alive?!   

Ahh, well maybe he's the exception... 

Only because he kicks arse for the Lord !

And what about Judas Priest?

Of course, Judas Priest too!

RE-CYCLE [GWAI WIK] (2006):  Courting the supernatural for ideas for her next novel, a romance writer finds herself trapped in a surreal land of abandoned ideas (and people).  The incredible visuals make it worth seeing (particularly the horrific trip inside a cave-like womb festooned with fetuses), but it drags dramatically.  The anti-abortion sentiment makes it a novelty, a not-so-subtle message Hollywood would never greenlight.  Marketed as horror, but really more of a dark Alice-in-Wonderland style fantasy. 3/5.

This is one of my favorite movies     Its has a few scenes that reminded me of silent hill, the game not the lame movie.

Farmhouse~ a couple who have some issues have a car accident and find a "nice" couple in the house nearby. They are not what the seem, the nice couple or the ones who had the accident, terror and torture ensues..I enjoyed it. The plot is interesting and makes you question wth is going on, the acting isn't bad, and the ending while not a complete surprise was still kinda cool.  spoilers******************  one scene includes torture with a cheese grater... ouch.

The Tournament~ every 7 years the worlds best assassins met to compete for 10 million dollars. The last one standing wins. Its got tons of over the top action and blood. its good fun. Yes, its ridiculous, but sometimes I just want to sit down with a big bowl of popcorn and watch sh** getting shot up, blown up, and kick ass fighting scenes. This delivers. I loved it

Some of the scenes and the atmosphere reminded me of the lame movie (which I kind of liked!)  Some of the cityscapes reminded me of THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN.  The visuals really are impressive, the story, less so (for me at least).

I re-watched PAN'S LABYRINTH and I'm willing to certify that it's a 5 star movie, and possibly even the best movie of the last decade.

I watched Pan's Labyrinth last night.

There's a girl, Ofelia,  and her sick, pregnant mother in the middle of the Spanish Civil war who go to live with a army captain. This guy is bad to the bone, he cares not for Ofelia and only in his unborn son. She goes for a run in the woods were she encounters a faun who tells her she's a princess and and gives her three tasks to perform....

This film is lit brilliantly. The set design in great, the creatures wonderful, the performances top notch. The film never goes over the top with the fantasy, it always stays grounded. There's a constant feeling of menace around the Captain. You really get the feeling that this is a character that even smiling would require an awful lot energy. I also love the bitter sweet ending.

Rev's right. It is possibly the best film of the decade.

5/5

I thought Pan's Labyrinth was moderately interesting, that's about it.  The Army Captain was by far the best part.

 I was completely psyched and baffled to see a really nice print of Octaman on tv last night!  It was really cheap and stupid. I had read that it was made by the guy who did creature from the black lagoon or something.  he definately hadn't learned anything in the intervening 30 years and in fact appeared to have forgotten some things.  would make a superlative double bill with Rattlers.  Even in the 70's I don't see how people could have been stoned enough to have put up with it.

Castle in the Sky:  This is my favorite anime film hands down.  While I don't think it is the greatest one ever made, it is my favorite.  I had some great voice acting (Nothing beats Mark Hamill and Cloris Leachman), an epic and imaginative tale, impressive looking animation, and a great soundtrack.

Poltergeist: It was really one of my favorite horror movies of all time.  That sad part is that I don't really find it scary because when I watched, my mom (Who was also watching it with me), spoiled every scary scene by telling me ahead of time of what was going to happen. 

MST3 Verisons of Final Justice, Santa Claus Conquoers the Martians, Monster A Go-Go, Future War, The Giant Spider Invasion, The Giant Gila Monster, Hobogoblins, Manos: The Hands of Fate, and Werewolf.  I had a marathon this weekend.

Ghost in the Shell:  I haven't finished watching it yet, but it is very good.  The sci-fi world is amazing, the animation is incredible, and I got to admit, the violence is over the top and awesome.

My mum did the same !

Swarmed (2005): A movie about genetically alterted wasps that go on a rampage and kill anyone barbequing or who happens to be around.  I am quite surprised, this isn't that bad of a movie!  The biology of wasps and the science is rather questionable, but it was an alright flick.  The most important thing I have learned is that a shotgun is perfect for killing just a single wasp.

Evil Dead 2

[lester1/2jr]

Wild Things 2 -  Wild things 2 has got the same type of plot as the first one except not as good,  the same 3 way scene except not as good, and the actreses aren't as pretty. Most offensively, there is only one sex scene and it makes extensive use of body doubles.  If you really can't think of ANYTHING else to watch this isn't bad as the little plot does move along well enough however ridiculous it is (complelety ridiculous).  and unlike the first one you can't front like you are watching a real movie

VOYAGE TO THE PLANET OF PRESHISTORIC WOMEN (): Three cosmo---I mean, ASTROnauts---travel to Venus to rescue two stranded comrades and their robot, and encounter dinosaurs while a coven of sexy Venusian mermaids tries to impede their progress by praying to their pterodactyl god.  This is the SECOND movie Roger Corman dubbed and recycled by combining footage of Soviet space opera and with inserts of American actors, and oddly it's both more ridiculous and more coherent than VOYAGE TO THE PREHISTORIC PLANET.  And Mamie van Doren is a big upgrade over Claude Rains!  Worth the watch for bad movie fans .  3/5.
