Raven


This was much better than I thought it would be going in

texas chainsaw (2003)

not a bad flick. I could have done without the fingernail thing making me cringe. it had a couple of stupid character moments. like not picking up the gun of a dead guy when you're running for your life from someone with a chainsaw.. gun > chainsaw. anyway it had one nice chase at the end although it was a little short. It was definitely better than the original. 3/5

The Chernobyl Diaries.

2 out of 10

Just a stupid movie.

Visitor q - 6/10 probably the strangest film ive ever watched
Poltergeist - 7/10 pleasantly surprised by this, first time watch and i though some of the effects were great
Southern Comfort - 7/10 decent backwoods/war movie with a few great performances
The Incredibles - 8/10 great animated action adventure. Very good family film.

Breathless (2008 dir. Ik-Joon Yang) - 9/10
This one gets its own post as i totally loved it. For me its up there with the vengeance Trilogy even rating it higher than SFMV. Its films like this that confirm my opinion that Korean films are simply fantastic. I'll admit i already knew what was coming but it still didnt prepare me enough.

Superb

Mama

Wall-E

Superb, Pixar's masterpiece (so far) IMO

10/10

I find it surprising that, as I interpret what you say, you didn't enjoy the movie because you were expecting danger and suspense, more or less, and there was none. I never thought it was scary or meant to be so, maybe a little creepy and unsettling for the young girl, but I never even conceived that as being a main point of the movie until you mentioned your disappointment in that aspect. Maybe this is why you didn't enjoy it at all??? Just found it interesting to hear that point of view/opinion.

Isn't that always the case when you watch a movie for the second time? So every movie is weak the second time you watch it because all the 'danger' is gone?

I don't agree with your explanation at all, honestly.

Oblivion - 7/10


****SPOILER ALERT BELOW****
Sort of.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It had two things I am not a big fan of - Sci Fi and Tom Cruise. The reason I am not a big fan of Sci Fi is also probably the reason I didn't rate it higher, that and the fact that I thought it was ending about 6 times and it wasn't, it just kept on going (which was fine at first, but then I just got annoyed). But let me explain about the Sci Fi aspect and why it affects my opinion...

I like a lot of science fiction movies, I do. But they tend to bother me because I am a very logical and realistic person, especially when it comes to movies, and I feel that science fiction tends to make up things to make sense of the plot. Granted, these science-fiction-facts may be possible in some way with the right about of bullcaca theoretical evidence that is based on known fact, even if it's only a single statement/idea that is taken out of context.

So one of the main reasons I couldn't enjoy this movie to its full extent (besides Tom Cruise, even though he rarely bothered me during this film) is because I had to keep asking questions, and even when I got the answers, it didn't make sense to me, and I couldn't fully follow the movie. But, this happens with me and sci-fi.

Regardless, it was a great movie. Would've got 8.5 if it weren't for these extenuating circumstances.

The Impossible 7/10

Poultrygeist is one of the more recent Troma movies released that has been directed by Lloyd Kaufman, the same man behind The Toxic Avenger. The movie is another campy horror movie with lots of practical effects. Only this time the movie does not deal with hideously deformed creatures of super human size and strength, it deals with zombie chickens! The food at a local KFC parody becomes infected after being constructed on the Tromahawk Indian burial ground in the lovely town of Tromaville New Jersey. And the native spirits seek revenge by possessing all who eat the infected chicken meat and turning them into undead chicken zombies! It is really campy, funny, gory, silly and just plain fun. Lots of practical gore effects, plenty of nudity, and more then enough crude humor for any fan who can stomach such things. If you like weird, I think you will like this movie.

^I couldn't get through that one. I blind bought it because the title and the premise were so ridiculous that it sounded awesome, but it just struck me as stupid. Also, it's a musical which is a huge strike in my book.

There are only really three musical numbers in it. All in the beginning. After the zombie chickens attack there are not any songs.

The Wayward Cloud


My first meeting with Mr Tsai. It's apocalyptic erotic and existential musical comedy-drama about watermelons.

Prudent rating:


Now I have to see his other films.

^ The only Tsai film that I truly hated. Catchy musical sequences aside, the rest is porn. The ending is laughably atrocious.

I'm not really fond of it either. I think it mistakes quirkiness with plain ridiculousness.

Still looking forward to the rest of his filmography, but...

It's not porn. It has some erotic elements, though. It's sometimes referred to as the worst Tsai film. If that's true I can't wait to see more!

Pretty sure it's my favorite. I've never seen such an outlandish expression of connection/lack thereof before, it was really, really interesting, and not in a "one-watch-only" way.
