The Descent (2006, R)
The best horror flick of 2006, I was really disappointed when I missed seeing it at the drive-in during the summer as it is a perfect drive-in movie, but watching it at home in the dark was pretty intense. I'm just glad someone out there is still making horror movies that aren't remakes or rip-offs of japanese movies or toned down teenage fodder. Speaking of which, in case you were wondering, I much prefer the original "bleak" ending to the cheesey american ending. |

The Howling (1981, R)
I'm embarrassed to tell u that i started watching this when i was ten got too scared and turned it off ten minutes in. Now 25 years later i finally watched it and am surprised by how comical it turns out to be not unlike Dante's gremlin movies which were childhood favourites of mine. I believe it's the fact that my mother made me cover my eyes during sex scenes in horror movies that made them scarier as my innocent mind was filling in the blanks thinking " wow if i have to cover my eyes there must be something really horrifying going on" lol. |

Grindhouse (Grind House) (2007, R)
We need more movies like this. The experience of seeing this in theatre was well worth my ten bucks just because it offers an atmosphere that u don't get with a pirated dvd. As for the features themselves Planet Terror is near b-movie perfect, Death Trap is bogged down a tad by Taratino's refusal to write dialog that doesn't sound like Taratino dialog even if out of place ( I was actually cheering on Stunt Man Mike in hopes he would shut those women the hell up!) and the fake previews are a riot. Anyone who enjoys the guilty pleasure of 70s sleaze will love this movie, I can't wait to go to drive-in this summer to see it again. |

Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956, Unrated)
The king of monsters? HELL YEAH! He's the biggest, baddest monster mofo to hit the silver screen ever. Yes it's a guy in a rubber suit, and yes those are models he's stomping, and yes everybodys all about the kong now-a-days but I ask you this; did u ever see kong breathe fire? I love Godzilla films cause they are always fun, even the later watered down ones. |

Cloverfield (2008, PG-13)
C'mon who hasn't imagined they were in a monster movie? At one time or another we've all pondered what we would do if we were one of those little people scurrying from Godzillas mighty wrath. This is about as close as you're gonna get and if u allow yourself to suspend your disbelief you get alot of bang for your buck. I recommend u see it on a large screen with blaring surround sound to fully appreciate it tho. |
