If you like british gangster flicks, DEFINETELY watch " Lock, stock and two smoking barrels " + " Snatch "

I've got them.  :teddyr:   LS&2SB is fantastic but snatch.. oh my, I love that movie.   :smile:   I have a shelf just for British movies. im a weirdo, I know. One I have been trying to get but not having much luck is Daylight Robbery... more of a crime movie than gangster but I love it.

I remember another one: In Bruges It's not quite like Snatch but it is quite awesome  :tongueout:



In Bruges is great. Im not a fan of Colin Farrell but he is really good in it and I adore Ralph Fiennes  :smile:  one of my all time favorite exchanges... You f*****g retract that bit about my c*** f*****g kids! Brendan Gleeson replying.. I retracted it, didn't I? cracks me up.

LOREN CASS (2006): Three alienated teens do nothing much in 1997 in St. Petersburg, Florida; to make up for the dead time, every now and then the screen goes black and they read bad beatnik poetry or play clips of a rabble rousing sermon by a black preacher.  Also includes tasteless footage of a real life suicide by a city councilman for no good reason.  Dull and pretentious; the viewer will find it easy to understand why anyone trapped inside this movie would want to commit suicide.  0.5/5.    

DESTROY ALL PLANETS [AKA GAMERA VS. VIRAS] (1968): Two boy scouts help Gamera foil an alien invasion.  Typical cheesy fun from Japan's favorite fire-breathing flying turtle; to pad out the run time, two climactic battles from other Gamera films are shown in flashback.  I hadn't seen one of these kaiju movies in a long time, and even though the Gamera movies are fairly interchangeable it was still lots of fun. 3/5.

The brain that wouldn't die
Epic. Awesome b-movie, one of my favourites I have seen so far. The monster in the closet at the end  :buggedout:
4 Slimes, no doubt  :twirl:

if you like that, then I recommend The Brain from Planet Arous- I feel that those two should have the same ratings.
yeah no.

The Ring Two (2005): The young female reporter (Naomi Watts) and her young son from The Ring (2002) attempt to relocate to the country in hopes of getting on with their lives as normal. Things don't go as they planned with they find the evil Samara may have followed them.

The opening and closing sequences are the best parts of this movie. The middle feels way overlong and convoluted and even worse proves somewhat dull. There are some good chills and thrills here and there and they practically all involve Samara. When she's not playing as much a factor into our story, the film is well kind of boring. It moves away from the videotape premise of the first more into the realm of possession but it's very little we haven't seem done and done better before. I hated the completely unbelievable stuff with the CGI deers. Still I'll give it **1/2 out of ***** for Samara.

Komodo VS Cobra.

As bad as it sounds.

3/10.

with you (2006)-  had seen some glowing reviews of this and was very dissapointed. The dialogue is of the type that while it seems as though they rehearsed it enough,  you can't possibly rehearse enough that it will actually work and be good. The writing is just dull and cliched.  It takes forever for the thing to get going. Maybe someone might see this as awesome slow building tension but I just thought it was an awful lot of awkward dialogue leading no place special.  2/5

You shouldn't waist Your time with this american fast food cinema! Watch the japanese originals. They are 10 times better. Special tip "Ring 0".

Prisoners of the Lost Universe (1983) - Richard Hatch and Kay Lenz are transported to a parallel universe.  That sounds exciting, doesn't it?  They basically travel to the hills around southern California.  They meet some weird people, like a guy in green makeup, a midget that's always trying to pull scams on them, and then John Saxon shows up as the evil ruler of the place.  He really likes Kay because she's blond.  Can't say I blame him.  So there's this big cheesy battle and stuff.  This is more or less a comedy, with all the fight scenes played for laughs.  I thought it was meant for kids, but it's got a bit of swearing in it.  Anyhow, it was kind of entertaining in a totally cheesy and silly way.  3.5/5.

The Car (1977)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSmG7W5Qjrk&feature=related
       I had kind of avoided this movie because the title really said "turkey" to me for some reason. Then it occured to me that I LIKE turkeys so I checked it out. This is really a very typical drive in type movie that aims low and achieves what it needs to to keep vendor sales going. James Brolin and actually everyone in the movie are pretty annoying and you are more or less happy to see them offed by the "the Car" car (hehe). The only one who wasn't all that annoying was the guy who beats his wife in the middle of the street! so...really no one to cheer for here, especially not the lobotomized Sarah Silverman /Mary Tyler Moore as the love interest. Even the kids and the HORSES didn't get much sympathy from me. It badly needed some more nubile young eye candy and other decadence. It's very "we want this to be PG!"

  At the same time, all the stuff with the Car is awesome and there is more and more of it as it goes. I accept "The Car". DVD reproduction quality is good 4/5
