Damned Movies it Rocks!

Wanna play? Those two little words have struck fear into the minds of people like no other phrase. There is nothing creepier than the idea of something as innocent and as sweet as a little boy's doll being able to grab a household item and take your life away. That's exactly the part of your mind that this story taps into. The thing that makes this movie so good is that it does not have to rely on gallons and gallons of blood or girls swimming nude in the lake while doing drugs to make it a classic. The storyline, and of course Chucky himself, make this one of the best horror movies of all time. Enjoy!

The movie had a fantastic story line. All the characters had their own beautiful traits and Tom Hanks was absolutely fantastic.

That kicks ass for his pleasure. I think that this was a great movie. I mean you have Blade, half human half vampire, who has all of the vampires stregnths and none of there weaknesses.

I saw some people say that this movie was horrible. Those people are the kind of white trash people that want all violence and no plot. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And for the people that thought this movie stunk, the almanac rated this movie 60th greatest movie of all time.

This is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again. It grabs you by the throat and makes you become the movie. So touching. Wonderful acting without over emphasizing any one particular person. A must see! The soundtrack is the best one ever.

Blade Trinity is a wonderful movie but takes a different path then the first two. The director throws in tons of humor in this one which directs attention from what the first two had: bloody vampire slayings. If you are looking for a good action flick with humor thrown in, Blade Trinity is definitly for you. But if you want the hard as steel, Wesley Snipes kick ass, kind of movie that Blade is known for, hit up blockbuster.

New worlds, new races, intergalactic planet destruction. Star Wars? No, I don't think so. New sci-fi thriller that will set the trend for the 22nd century?

Without a doubt...

The Chronicles of Riddick are not about human struggle or even universal survival. This is the story of one man, a reluctant hero and a sole survivor of his race. I use the term reluctant hero instead of anti hero because, as much as they want this to be a story about "Bad -VS- Evil", Riddick isn't bad. If we only knew Riddick as the convict from Pitch Black this would sit well with me. However, Riddick is a survivor who is reluctant to put himself in harms way for others. His murderous trend has been marked down as bad when in fact he is the one who has been wronged and only kills those who would see him dead or would harm someone he cares about. I have yet to see the man slay an innocent person.

The story seemed to be lacking in detail early on. I must admit there were moments where I was wondering what happened to the infamous "Shine Job" story line, but in the end all the pieces of the puzzle fit together almost as if they were never apart.

In the movie we also get a glimpse into the story of what happened to Riddick as a child. I I believe this gives us an insight on what makes him tick and will make a great reasoning to add a prequel to pitch black and this already stellar story line. This also helps give the viewer a more sympathetic view of why he seems so angry at the world and God. Now some of you are saying, "What do you mean angry at God." Well I remember the first movie like It was only a week ago that I watched it(That could be because it was on Sci-Fi just before this release.) and I distinctively remember Riddick telling the holy man that he believed in God, but that he hated him(in his own unique way). Undoubtedly, the man is angry and the man feels no remorse for his actions, which gives the character a "bad" persona. However, one would have to ask themself, "How will I cope?" when he found himself in the same situation.

Along with all of the intense action of this movie they never failed to bring a little of the humorous side out of Riddick to relief the neck stiffening tension between all of the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the suprising twist at the end and the opening left, possibly, for only the imagination.

In the end, Riddick gave us every bit of attitude we expected and Kira or Jack contributed more than I was expecting. The Director did an excellent job of portraying the character conflicts. It was very much different from Pitch Black in terms of action. It was also something very new and fresh unlike most sci-fi flicks I've seen. I believe this is everything the people wanted this movie to be and more.

Based on the novel of the same name by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with screenplay by Puzo and Coppola. The film stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton and James Caan. The story spans ten years from late 1945 to 1955 and chronicles the life of the Corleone crime family.

The Godfather was initially ranked as the third greatest film in American cinematic history (behind Citizen Kane and Casablanca) on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list by the American Film Institute. It has now been re-ranked number two under Citizen Kane, with number three being Casablanca.It is also the top movie on Internet Movie Database's Top 250 list,as well as Metacritic's top 100 list and Rotten Tomatoes' all-time best list.

Two sequels followed, The Godfather Part II in 1974 and The Godfather Part III in 1990.

The story begins as "Don" Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia "family", oversees his daughter's wedding. His beloved son Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear. The business of the family is just like the head of the family, kind and benevolent to those who give respect, but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands against the good of the family. Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price, especially from Michael, all for the sake of the family. Written by Charlie Ness

Vito Corleone is the aging don (head) of the Corleone Mafia Family. His youngest son Michael has returned from WWII just in time to see the wedding of Connie Corleone (Michael's sister) to Carlo Rizzi. All of Michael's family is involved with the Mafia, but Michael just wants to live a normal life. Drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo is looking for Mafia Families to offer him protection in exchange for a profit of the drug money. He approaches Don Corleone about it, but, much against the advice of the Don's lawyer Tom Hagen, the Don is morally against the use of drugs, and turns down the offer. This does not please Sollozzo, who has the Don shot down by some of his hit men. The Don barely survives, which leads his son Michael to begin a violent mob war against Sollozzo and tears the Corleone family apart.

This film has that rare ability to affect you even after repeated viewings.

Again, I did not see this movie in theaters, I was only 8 years old when it came out, I did purchase the 60th anniversary edition and watched both the dvds. Most WWII movies I have seen have protrayed the Nazi's as blood thirsty and inhuman and that they were but Steven Spielberg portrayed them as any other normal human being trying to win the war. But back to the movie, Tom Hanks did a good job acting as a captain who had issues just like any other soldier at that time. There was also good supporting roles by Tom Siezmore and Giovanni Ribisi. The D-Day battle was spectacular in the fact that it actually showed what it was like those few minutes before the landing. Most movies like that usually show the aftermath of the battle of D-Day and on. The part that felt were the best parts were when Hanks would have to think about the decisions that he had to make and what it had cost him. The reason I give such a good movie is that war takes all and sometimes the main heroes die which makes the story more heart wrenching and true.

There has never been a tale told so well about something so hard to tell. The mass murdering of the Jews was never something to speak of nor something you want to watch. Although it must be told because after all, if we don't remember the mistakes of the past we are bound to repeat them. There is no way we could have watched Jews being murdered for three hours so the brilliant mind of director Steven Spielberg included the man Oscar Schindler into the mix. A German man who felt for the Jewish prisoners and gave them hop in a haven of a factory.

There' nothing to smile about here, Spielberg has included some dark comedy bits although they don't work nearly as well as his terrifying drama, realism and the outstanding performances from Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley that glow with excellence. This movie had to be made for histories sake. It's a good thing someone as talented as Spielberg handled it. It's a nearly flawless masterpiece. Besides it's disturbing and depressing theme the only complaint is it's amazingly slow pace and long running time. None the less, it is a timeless film that looks, breaths, and acts perfectly. If you are mature enough to handle the hot subject matter, do not pass up the chance to see a bit of history. The list is alive.

I can't really believe Carter and crew had six years to come up with this movie. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. It was a really good and slightly longer episode; and I always liked the episodes. I just would have thought with all of that time they could have written these characters a little better. Maybe the writers were out of practice.

Spoiler alert:
I truly don't think that after all the time Mulder and Scully had been on the lam and by all accounts in the beginning of the film created a really sweet and mature relationship that Scully would just say it's over because of his pursuit of this case...and his sincere belief that he needed her help. While I understand she had other concerns too, I just don't believe she would have thrown away such a hard fought love and relationship. And then he just accepted it! It was fairly ridiculous. What she said and what she did were, of course, not the same, because Scully can't leave Mulder to his own devices and he does need her. Can't the writers make her smart in all aspects of her life? Why just Science. Oh I remember, they don't write women that way for movies. I had hoped that Scully was an exception to that unfortunate hollywood rule.

Despite my frustrations on the relationshipo faux tension, overall this is well worth a trip to the theater. Probably more than once. But Carter really needs to get more review on his script next time. His stunted and overly dramatice adolescent views of relationships are too much on display when it comes to this particular movie.

I was wondering when someone would get the idea that live action doesn?t work well for Dr. Seuss? vivid imagination. His landscapes are so completely alien, his characters so completely unnatural that the only way to enjoy it is through the world of animation, be it standard or computer-generated. The zany minds at Blue Sky Animation, the masters behind the Ice Age movies and the under appreciated Robots, seemed to get the memo and created one of their wildest worlds in Horton Hears A Who, which is also one of Dr. Seuss? most political stories.

Horton is an elephant and is voiced by Jim Carrey. He?s not the brightest bag of peanuts, but his big heart is infectious to the youngsters of his jungle, which seems to be ruled by the iron hand of Kangaroo (Carol Burnett). She?s the kind of soccer mom (not allowing her own kid out of the pouch) that always seems to ?know best? and has no problem telling everybody as such. One day, Horton hears screaming coming from a speck and saves it from drowning. As it turns out, it is an entire world, which is the town of Whoville. It?s mayor (Steve Carrell) is a loopy kind of fellow with 92-daughters and one son. When the world starts shaking and things seem to go topsy-turvy, he thinks something is really wrong. Soon, by chance, he hears Horton through a pipe. He creates a way to communicate and finds out the horrible truth. To make matters worse for him, no one believes him, including his wife (Amy Pohler) and the city council (who I suspect knows the Mayor is right, but are too afraid to accept it). He asks Horton to help find a safe place to put the speck and Horton knows of such a place. The problem is that Kangaroo finds Horton?s beliefs about the speck to be corruptive to the children, who are now showing symptoms of imagination, including her own child.

When the movie focuses on the ideas behind Seuss? work, the movie is purely amazing in it?s story telling, mixed with the crazy visual style that is faithful to the source. I didn?t just love the look and feel of Whoville, I was blown away. I loved how the characters interacted, especially the bond between Horton and the Mayor, and that we can believe these character?s nature and in their friendship. I especially loved the metaphorical undertones that were originally believed to be associated with the McCarthy era. But it also works in our own times where if you are not with us, you are with them. When Kangaroo rallies a mob to stop Horton, who has done nothing more than believe that ?a person is a person, no matter how small?, the fear tactics used are all the more familiar to a modern audience.

But the movie shoots itself in the foot when it steers away from these ideas, either for pop-culture references (as in WhoSpace) or when going for cheap visual gags (as when Horton fantasizes in 2-D anime-style circa Pokemon). And then there?s a terrible rendition of ?Can?t Fight This Feeling Anymore? that really doesn?t work at all. These are just plain cheap and not needed. It?s these kind of scenes that are put in when filmmakers have no faith that they can keep a modern audience (especially children) involved in topical films. It seems they forgot that films like Ratatouille and Finding Nemo are classics because they trusted the material and didn?t have to resort to clichés.

While the voice acting is incredibly impressive, especially in the unusually subdue Jim Carrey and the dead-on shtick of Steve Carrell, I?m even more impressed in their uses of voices like Will Arnett and Carol Burnett, who has to be one of the funniest women alive and is rarely seen outside small roles. She especially was perfect for Kangaroo since she does have the ability to sound like sugar laced with arsenic. Will Arnett might be known to a few people for his work on Arrested Development and a stock player in Will Farrell?s clubhouse, but he has been doing some amazing voice work in many animated features. Here, he is the voice of a Russian Buzzard who has a few screws loose.

Another contributing factor of the film is John Powell?s sublime score, which goes into overdrive as we get to the climax of the story. I love his whimsy in the kind of music he puts to the screen. Take the first scene where the speck is disrupted from it?s harmonious existence and how the score transists as the scene goes on.

All in all, this is a great family tale with deeper implications while offering a good time for all. It?s one of those movies I can see kids enjoying now and coming back to later to enjoy as adults on a completely different level. But that?s always been the signature of Dr. Seuss? stories. They turn, they churn, they tickle the mind. This story, in all it?s glory, will leave you in kind.

This thriller really is an emotional story of a family proceeding into the firey staircase of life. The story tells us why a man becomes a firefighter and goes further to provide an answer of why firefighters are brave. It is a riveting movie with skilled and uplifting acting between Phoneix and Travolta.

The story is a little perdictable but the throwbacks provide great insight as to how a firefighter works and plays. The commradrie of the unit is captured completely through the horse play and bar scenes of the movie.

I recommend it as a good movie and think the acting is better than a diluted story line.

I first watched this movie after I was hooked by reading the info on it on my digital cable. It said Post- Apocalyptica and I was very interested in those kind of movies such as 12 Monkeys. I had no idea really what to expect throughout the whole movie because I had never seen the movie advertised or anything.

In my opinion, people should not compare this movie to Matrix or accuse this movie of copying The Matrix just because the lead character wears a long black coat similar to Neo\'s. This movie is in a category of its own. The \"Gun-Kata\" action sequences are somthing The Matrix will never have and thats what makes this movie so great. The story is a bit like George Orwells 1984(Big Brother is watching).

This movie shows you how much we should appreciate our individual rights and freedoms. Also, how powerful emotions can be and how important they are.

Overall this movie was excellent and I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves action movies. The action sequences are so great I cant even describe them. So I suggest you go buy the movie or rent it and trust me you will not be disapointed.

Equilibrium is a very cool and well made movie. The Gun-Kata scenes are incredible and near the level of Matrix action scenes. The story is good, the acting is great, especially by the always reliable Christian Bale. I own the movie because it was worth it. You should own it too or at least rent it andenjoy it.

I love this film, a deeply stirring story about the new world, the lingering pride of the old society, the resiliant livelihood of the frontiers men and the perishing people of the native American continent.

A romantic story, not in the sense of Harry meets Sally, but one in the wild, a collision between what is refined or chastised and that of the skillful, swift, strong and free. Theirs is the true adventure, a new life in a new world to embrace with much to struggle for, and much to sacrifice.

Most of all, I loved the music, as if opening a flood dam it pours the images from the film into my head time and time again, long after the story is over. Last time it happened, I had to watch the movie again. I guess this is how addictions begin.

Lastly, I envy the people in the time of the story, when land provided caring livelihood instead of simple real estate, or love afforded someone to struggle together with instead of an opponent in the bitter divorce battle that is common today. I hope this is not the "grass is greener" mentality at play, but truly the emotions aroused in me by the film somehow connects me with those who loved, desired, struggled, and mostly, those who perished.

Last of the Mohicans, a good story, good film.

An excellent film, it manages to be touching without being over-sentimental. Tom Hanks is brilliant in his role, and, as usual, manages to bring warmth to the character he plays.

What could be a sad, depressing film has its moments, but at the same time lifts up the viewer to a sense of hope and justice. It is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and scream at the tv set.

The film is long, though and that might be off putting to some, however, the time flies and you'll want to watch it again. Read the book too!

This movie is about the Frank Morris and Anglin brothers escape from Alcatraz prison. To this day, nobody knows what exactly happened. This movie has potential, but it was lost. Clint Eastwood does a decent job, but this is not one of his better projects. There are several slow parts. Overall, not bad, but I have seen better.

I love this movie. First of all, the movie is packaged very well. You can also relate very well to the movie. Which makes the movie that much better. Kurt Russell is awesome in this movie. It's a movie that almost everyone will like. For the women, a strong plot, a lot of drama, and a story of a husband trying to find his wife. For the men, some good action scenes and never knowing what's going to happen next. This first time I watched this movie I had no idea how it would end. All and all an awesome movie. A great rent for anyone.

The story is relevant to adults and children alike. The humor is fantastic David Hyde-Pierce is deplorable..I mean adorable. The message is good and the way the animation pulls you into the story and characters is magical. If you want to be whisked away by a movie like you wood a book with comical characters and very touching scenes of how a meaningful friendship can form between two individuals that should be at ends with each other, watch this movie. It is fun, fantastic and timeless. I also love the creative play on Treasure Island.

Certainly this is one of those old movies that just wowed audiences worldwide 50 years ago. The numbers of extras, costumes, budget, length of the movie made it seem very important. The awards were also numerous. However, I am coming from a different generation and I am not as sure about those awards.

In spite of that doubt, it does turn out to be a fairly good movie. But certainly not great. The length made it somewhat boring at times. I was on the edge of my seat for other long movies like LOTR, Star Wars, and Spider-Man. But when there wasn't something happening, it just droned on.

Heston puts on a great job and the chariot race was still excellent. Obviously the ship battle was green screened, but what do you expect from the 50s? CGI?

Overall, its not bad. Worth at least one look from any movie goer.

This story has been one of Hollywood's best for over half a century. No one will ever forget the dashing Rhett Butler, or the fiery Katie Scarlet O'Hara. The acting is truly superb, and after watching it over and over I still love it. I recommend this for everyone, it is a masterpiece that is unmatchable to any other.

I liked the character elliot ness the most because of his idealistic nature but I also liked how they all interacted as a team . I liked the gangster movie because the good guys win, but it is at high cost so many lives lost to put capone in jail and i fear what he might do to elliot when he gets out. But at least they are fighting the good fight. I like to see that for a change but it does seem hollywood always glamorizes the bad guys.

What we have here is one of the best versions of the novel Dracula ever made, perhaps the definitive one.

It is in fact a great visual masterpiece, everything from the settings to the costumes to the camera angles to the makeup is perfect and you can see the extreme care all this got from the production and the director, it helps greatly to pull you into the movie and that's fantastic.

The acting is very good also, and Gary Oldman steals the show with his portrayal of Dracula, the way he uses the makeup to his advantage is a worthy thing to see indeed. Hopkins as Van Hellsing is great also, as his witty and grave performance is a perfect counterpart to Oldman.
Reeves and Ryder play some of the best performances of their careers, and they help carry the movie quite well.

As for the story, while it took a few liberties here and there, since Dracula is portrayed as an evil as hell, yet tragic and longing for love kind of figure and not as the despising and evil thing he was in the novel. Mina is also a little bit more easy and slutty here than she is in the book, but those changes are understandable and are handled quite well.

Overall:
The ultimate Dracula movie, worth having on your collection if you are into this kind of movies, and even if you\'re not, it is still worth a visit.

Apocalypse now is a terrific film made by a master film maker. However, the journey is quite slow and at times the film is quite talky. All this may be neccessary to convey the message which Coppolla is trying to convey but one wishes the film was a bit faster pace. The horrors of vietnam are brilliantly depicted and the movie takes us on a surreal journey where Martin Sheen's mission is to destroy the rogue colonel played by Marlon Brando. Along the way we witness the horrors and insanity of war which is reflected in Brando's behavior. I feel that it is a very well made film which is thought provoking and interesting. But I would not recommend this movie for those who are interested in seeing a war film which is the ra ra honor and glory type. Those who feel they are going to see a war film (in the way many expect it to be) will be terribly disappointed and may even get bored. Those who want to see a thought provoking film based on the horrors of war and its effects will walk away satisfied.

I don't know how long Soap Operas have actually been around, but this one is first rate, and it's all thanks to the marvelous performance by Bette Davis as spinster Charlotte Vale, one of her most memorable characters. Davis begins the picture virtually unrecognizable; dowdy and nervous to exhaustion. She is institutionalized, taken away from her horribly domineering mother, and things begin to change. She takes a cruise to Rio, meets the man of her dreams, falls in love, discovers that he is unhappily married and intends to stay that way, and then finally goes home to Boston, where her wealthy, monstrous mother is waiting to once again voice her disapproval over anything Charlotte says, wears, or does. Voicing her opinion, at last, Charlotte kills her mother with the shock of her words. The final act is the most emotionally satisfying. Charlotte returns to the sanatarium where she was healed, and tends to a 12 year old girl (who happens to be the unwanted daughter of the man with whom she fell in love in Rio) and becomes her surrogate mother. This movie is prime 40\'s fare, pulling out all the stops, and Davis shines in an Oscar nominated tour-de-force performance. As wonderful as the moon and the stars!

Fargo is considered one of the greatest films ever made, and for sure the best thriller, I can't say I agree, yet it is by no means bad. The story is very good, and makes a lot of sense. The screenplay is exteremly well written, with amazing dialogue, and very well putt together stuff. The acting is amazing, and genius. Frances McDormand is amazing, in one of the best performances I have ever seen. William H. Macy is also amazing, as are Steve Buscemi, and Peter Stormare, who should have won an Oscar. The direction is generally great, yet has it's moments of being a little weak, actually maybe only one that I didn't like. The special effects are slightly weak, but generally work. I have to warn you that there is one really disgusting scene that involves putting a person in a wood chipper.

I think that part of the fascination many of us have with the "Dead" films is the abstract concept of post-apocalyptic life, wondering if and how we, ourselves, could survive if civilization as we know it collapsed overnight.

Shaun of the Dead gives us what many of us wondered about upon seeing Romero's films; namely "What about the rest of the world?"

This film pays respectful homage to the genre created by Romero, and gives us a peek at how the end of the world is received in another part of the world. What would you and your slacker friends do if the dead rose and began devouring the living? Where would you go? What posessions would you grab first? Your wallet? Your gameboy?

Every aspect of this film seemed to be a labor of love, and it shows on-screen, in the casting, writing, acting, camera-work, direction, everything. Attention to detail is one of the joys of this film. I may have to go see it again in order to catch some of the details I missed the first time.

As the apocalypse begins to unfold around Shaun, we see many many hints that something huge is going on, and he's wondrously oblivious, flipping channels and catching only snippets of the story, not enough to realize anything is at all out of the ordinary. If the dead rose in your home town, how long would it take you to figure out something is going on? Do you watch TV? Listen to the radio? Or do you mainly listen to CD's? Would the news even reach you before it was too late? Little details like the couple "necking" outside the pub, and recognizing the faces of some of his neighbors, all little cinematic treats.

Whether you like zombie movies or not, you will probably enjoy Shaun of the Dead. It's got something for everybody.

The funniest film you will view for a long time. Funny, exiting, gore and action packed and generally a great time for those old enough to appreciate the humour.

Starring relative newcomers: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashford, Lucy Davis and Dylan Moran. Also includes veterans: Penelope Winton and Bill Nighy.

I have never enjoyed such a wonderful funny movie in a long time. The story was very heartwarming and sends out a good message to kids. The animals are absolutely histarical. The kids will love it and adults will catch all the humor in the movie.

I cant seem to figure out why people dont like this movie. They must not have a heart. It truley was very enjoyable. I cant wait to see it again. I highly recommend it.

I just have to say welcome to the future. This movie was totally awesome. I liked that Marty has to keep going back to the past and to the future just he just screws everything up. I like what Zemeckis made when Marty went to the future and saw his son and when his girlfriend saw her future family. That part was really weird though. But I can't understand why Mcfly has to be soooo pissed off at being called a chicken. It just totally iritates him. Overall, I thought this was a really cool movie.

It's not going to win best picture, but for what it is, it was very funny, entertaining and enjoyable. Steve Martin was great, and he was supported by a wonderful cast. Quit trying to compare Martin with Peter Sellers...they both bring their own unique gifts to their respective pictures. BETTER THAN THE FIRST!

What makes this movie great is the general theme of oppressed people ie. the union workers, living under an oppressive system, ie. a corrupt union run by the mafia, and finally being able to overcome through terry malloy (marlon brando), and a gritty priest (karl malden) social justice. Also the personal touches were quite nice.

I liked very much the scene where terry is talking to his brother charlie about how he could have been a title contender if not for the fact that charlie actually told him to throw away the biggest fight of his life on fight night. How true it is that family members often betray us and make us throw away our dreams because of our trust in them. All in all, a great classic movie.

It is hard to have a story about the holocaust be "not interesting". With that said, here is the honest review...

The story follows a, you guessed it, counterfeiter that is highly successful at..well counterfeiting. This is great until World War II takes place and, he being Jewish puts him in the hands of a concentration camp. Without giving too many details the story follows his view of being forced into using his trade to defend the very thing that he should not defend (you'll understand more when you see it).

The movie is shot extremely well and is stressful to say the least. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that is looking for a thought provoking film that leaves you feeling happy to have a mortgage and your spouse slacking on his/her responsibility...the silly things we worry about. (you'll get that when you see the film).

This is not something to take your six year old to, (even though the rating and the name should already make this stand out) but still, just wait, If you see one belly button ring on the screen CLOSE YOUR EYES! I am NEVER going to get a belly button ring again. The gore was intense, from the shooting zombie heads into little pieces from zombies grabbing down somones throat to take the guts out, and straight down to the classic(but still great) ripping the stomach open and feasting on the intestines.

The story was pretty good, this time it had a derivative from the classic OH-MY-GOD-THE-ZOMBIES-ARE-COMING!

The acting was okay. Excluding kaufman's actor, Denis Hopper, (who was great by the way), the acting was just..O-K, nothing oscar-worthy.

Direction is obviously the strong point of the movie. Without taking the risk of making this review intensely long explaining about Romeros other movies, and other peoples movies, Romero is a GENIUS.

There were definitly some nit-picks. I didn't like the zombies being able to walk on water, or the fact that they were playing the instruments in the beginning, but at least only a few of the zombies could use weapons.

Yes, you know what I mean, the movie was kind of short for me, other people may not say so, but it was, and that's the main reason I did not give it an A. Wrapping it up, if you can withstand lots of gore, and love zombies, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

A steven Spielberg Piece Of art The Should Be Watched.
I DARE you to Get the Fucking Ass Out of your set just to See this Epic.

I don't see how all of these movies like Mall Cop are making all of this money in the box office and this one didn't. This movie had you on your seat the whole time, the plot was very suspenseful and the ending will have you shocked, you will never guess what the movie is really about until the end. If you like good suspense and mystery this is the movie, you will not fall asleep on this one.

Within the first five minutes, the only thing keeping me in the theatre was a desire to see who played the little boy. That held true throughout the rest of the movie as well.

If we watch this movie, we always hear a coughing sound. what the bad is that sound?
the man who is coughing in the film is just wasting his time as a cast and make the audience sick and tired to hear the man\'s cough and wonder who is the man coughing in the whole scene.

While you jump a little bit, it starts to get very annoying after a very short amount of time.

Everything about this movie was great. All parts of what a Western should be. From start to finish I couldn't keep my eyes of the screen. Great acting, scenery, action, etc. Hopefully more Westerns will come of this.

Didn't expect much going in. After all hollywood cranks these sport films out like candy. But this film is something special. The story of Ernie Banks is an exceptional one. His rise to fame and glory and a career cut short in its greatest. Heartfelt and meaningful. Good production all around.

I admit that I am not the bravest when it comes to horror, but for what it's worth The Orphanage is easily the scariest movie I've ever seen. It rivals classic ghost stories like "The Shining." I thought I was going to have a heart attack throughout much of the film, but I can't wait to see it again. I'm still haunted by many of the images two weeks later. It's a strange sensation to feel both moved and utterly terrified by the same film, but this one achieves it. Super creepy and amazingly well done, you will be profoundly affected by the time the credits roll!

Overall, an excellent movie. This is a reminder for Producers in Hollywood to do more movies like this one and not the silly ones we are used to see nowadays.

See it!

Ah, the unloved stepchild of scifi-horror. I can understand why many people do not like this film- it teeters back and forth between horror, scifi, and action. It doesn't make the movie confusing, just muddled. And the really, really stupid choices the protagonists make don't help. The movie starts as a flashback, but you can't take it as gospel what happened. But, like Meh, I am a fan of this film. Some parts tended to drag, and/or were a tad silly, but the initial creepy atmosphere and subsequent action more than makes up for that.

I am going to do characters first so you can get a flavor of what is going on; the actors do make an impression onto the characters. You have Pam Grier(!) as the Commander, Natasha Henstridge as the Lt., and Ice Cube aka "Badass". Badass comes with his own posse- Uno, Dos, & Tres. No, I'm not kidding. Jason Statham(!) as Sarge. There are other sundry meat, and would it be a big shocker if I told you there were "ghosts" involved?

In the future, Mars is being terraformed and a sizable population lives in domes and outlying settlements. They can almost breathe the atmosphere, but need Dune-like nostril plugs to give them some extra oxygen. These domes and settlements are connected by trains. A settlement goes radio dark, so a crack squad (snarfle) of cops/military go to investigate. Upon arrival, the train just takes off before any sit-rep is established. I guess the Pickachu toys were late for the next settlement? Also, Badass is wanted for various heists and may be in the area (I guess Homeland Security has not caught up with securing these trains yet). Our elite commandos (giggle) check out the compound and find nothing good, such as destruction, some dead folk, and weird wind chimes (kind of need to see them to understand).

Our Lt. finds Badass and subdues him after a fight with one of the whacked-out settlement personnel. Strange looking, with the face pierced with all kinds of metal. Badass gets thrown in jail with some others, who may or may not be important (ah, plot point!).

Here we get to were spoilers intrude, so I'm going to keep it plot-light, except for one thing. Since I mentioned Uno, etc., you know they show up. I think it is Dos who does this- while making a bomb, he's smoking "weed/crack of the future", and the funniest scene of the movie unfolds. You can imagine that the 'Ghosts' have turned up, and are not happy. I must say, that the ghosts are pretty damn cool looking (and not CGI'd to boot; though the flashback CGI was pretty bad). Once the 'Ghosts' show up, it is all action, and I must say that it is good, if a bit stretched.

If you have not seen this movie, I would recommend a view. It is not the best of any of the genres mentioned above, but (I think) a fun mixture of them. You will have to sidestep some dumb decisions by the characters, but you've dealt with this before. Henstridge is her usual sexy and semi-emoting self, and Grier is sadly underused. Stathan does well. Ice Cube is an actor I like, on par much with Ice-T before he grew some acting chops. I'd love to see a movie with Cube & T- it would be my favorite drink- Iced Tea! (Yeah, I planned that, sorry). There is violence aplenty, though not really any gore, and some good spooky atmosphere in the beginning. "Ghosts of Mars" has its problems, but I find it to be a fun romp and not a waste of time.

***** Now we shall tread into the spoiler area- here be Ghosts!
Why the heck did Scientist Lady just go blundering into a historic find without calling anyone first? A f'n balloon? Could you at least give us a reason why the Ghosts survive this way? Just leave- let the government nuke the Ghosts! Arg! I love those guns Cube's got at the end. Why would being drugged kick out a Ghost? Isn't ephemeral, and since they survived a nuke, why would a drug bother them?

Diary of the Dead is a return to the roots for George A. Romero as he brings the story back to an initial breakout of zombies and combines it with the technology and media of today. Anyone who says that Romero has fallen from the top couldn't be more wrong. Ever since the underrated Land of the Dead, people have been slamming Romero for God knows what. Whether it's because they don't understand the direction he wanted to take his series in, or they just expected more, they are wrong in my opinion. I say it every time I review a horror film made in this decade. It's A LOT better than the majority of the other stuff being made these days. It's independent, it's raw, it's low budget, it's classic Romero work. It isn't at the level of the first three Dead films, that's for sure, but it doesn't have to be.

Romero shot this film using the first person technique we've seen in films like The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, and [REC]. Well listen up folks, that's where the comparison betewen Dead and those films ends. This is a very well shot film from a technical standpoint. Romero conveniently makes his lead characters aspiring film directors, meaning they're nearly pros with the camera on their shoulders. You won't find the nauseating shaky cam in this film. Romero splices stock footage into this film within a film to create a true documentary feeling.

As with most of Romero's films, there is a very strong and very obvious social commentary aspect of this film. It's a little forced to us, but I'm fine with that. Maybe Romero really wanted the viewer to get it this time. I sure did. It put the media and technology and the human race as a whole (especially with that poetic final line) to the fore front. It makes us answer all the questions of "What would you do?" in our heads. If you were in Jason, the main director's place, how far would you go to tell people the truth? And so on and so forth. It puts life in perspective. The fear of zombies has never been the fear Zack Snyder tried to create with his Dawn of the Dead remake. It's the fear of the unknown, the fear of the world turning to shit. As Deb states in this film, it's the fear that every person that dies from now on will rise from their death, and walk amongst the living, until put down for good. Romero beautifully captures this feeling of helplessness in this film by placing us in certain locales, such as the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Technology collides with the Amish. The final setting of the large and obviously expensive house wonderfully sets us into the idea that even money can't buy you protection from this disaster. Wherever you may go, you're most likely screwed. Romero carries this commentary greatly throughout the film. The plot isn't what is supposed to make you wonder, the message is.

The only things that make me take a half star off this film is the lack of a really memorable character, spotty acting, and a few sequences of unimpressive gore. I'm not one to rave and not critique. What Land of the Dead and Diary of the Dead were missing were the memorable characters. It didn't have a "Roger" from Dawn of the Dead, etc. There are complaints of bad acting in this film, and while none of these kids are going to go on to become award winners, what does that matter for a zombie film? Romero's zombie films have never been about award winning acting. Joseph Pilato as Capt. Rhodes in Day of the Dead is easily the greatest performance we've seen in a Romero "Dead" film and even that falls well short of taking home a trophy. Perhaps being the viewer of atrocities like Zombie 3, 4, and 5 make me realize how damn good Romero's films, all of them, are. I'm not giving him a pass for being "not as bad" as those films, but damn people, his films are about the only in the genre with any substance to them at all. He left the studios, went back to independent life, and made one hell of a low budget zombie film.

Romero's "Diary of the Dead" is a fantastic film. It's not as good as his first three, but I'd place it over the still good Land of the Dead. It's a solid addition to a wonderful 5-part series that I look forward to seeing more of. Just remember that when you watch this film that Romero was out to achieve something beyond scaring the viewers. The substance is there if you take a minute and look at this film for what it really is. And Jesus, give the guy a break. Did you really think this was going to be good as his first three Dead films?

Someone on the boards said that they just watched this movie on FearNet on Demand, and I thought, "alright, it's not on DVD, I have FearNetOnDemand...why not give it a shot". So, here we go.

What I really like is most the characters have last names or names of horror directors, so a very nice hommage there. We start out with a hilarious setting that is kind of like E.T. meets Star Wars and these ugly ass aliens are trying to get an experiment from another alien. Truly terrible cinema, I can't wait to see what else is going to happen!

Chris, or Rusty from National Lampoon's European Vacation is one of our stars and it's nice to see him in something else. "Is this a homicide or a bad B movie" I love recognition of it's crapiness. These kids bring a guy from the 50s back to life when he is frozen in time. Through this, people vomit slugs and turn into zombies. Pretty badass, right....RIGHT.

The acting is piss poor which makes this movie awesome, IMO. I've been loving my B movies lately and this one is for sure at the top of that list. In this classic movie, we have zombies, aliens and stupid teenagers, what's not to love?

Sorry I can't make this review longer but there's not much to say about this movie other than it's fun, but if I wasn't drinking, I wouldn't have enjoyed it that much. Peace

Re-Animator is one of my all time favorite zombie movies to this day. Re-Animator with its great gore and awesome performance from Jeffery Combs playing Herbert West. This is a classic movie and if you have not seen it, go out and watch it NOW! Seriously you won't be sorry, hopefully....

Re-Animator is about this man who works at a hospital and one day there is a new doctor/student/whatever at the hospital he is working at and his name is Herbert West. Herbert is looking to learn all he can about Re-animation and doesn't take to kindly to the man who is teaching him. Herbert needs a place to stay so he stays with the main character, whose name slips me, and he eventually is forced to tell him all about his re-animating liquid he made when he kills the man's cat and revives it. Now that they tested the syrum on small animals they want to try it on humans, but there is a violent re-action in humans and all hell breaks loose. Now they have to find a way to stop the undead from living...again.

This movie was very very good and I loved every short minute of it. The movie isn't overly long and it isn't too short, and I loved that too. lol. But the movie wasn't perfect but it was damn close to it.

Re-Animator is also very gory and there are some really great gore scenes. Like the ones in the mortuary place and the end, and this movie has a weird reverse necrophelia scene but I won't give that away, lets just say it was weird. :/...But this movie has great gore.

The acting isn't that great but its also a low budget movie and a first, I believe, from Stuart Gordon. Stuart manages to work in some funny dark humor that works very well in this movie as well and it blends perfectly with Lovecraft's story.

Overall Re-Animator is a must for all horror fans and you should go out and see the greatness now!

First off, I liked Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween and I had some high expectations for the second one. I went to see it last night, and I was let down big time. I think maybe my expectations were set too high, which made this movie impossible to be good. But don't get me wrong. Zombie, undoubtedly, has the ability to brilliantly direct movies, but the "kill for mommy" concept was pretty bad. We get in to Michael's head a lot more, kind of explaining why he's doing what he's doing. I didn't really like that, there was a bit too much of a back story for this serial killer.

I got where Zombie was coming from with the whole "bringing the family together" by killing Laurie. The kills were brutal, but most of them were too similar, I didn't mind the oodles of blood with each kill. But Michael, in majority, is just stabbing the shit out of everyone, it was a bit repetitive and not very creative. With the exception of the guy from the "Red Rabbit" strip club that had his head smashed in and then hung by lights in the club. And boy, could he walk fast this time around. I liked that, other than him just slowly walking towards his victims. Tyler Mane most definitely brought some sick intensity, being more ruthless and inhuman just by man-handling and dismantling everything in his way.

I was also kind of let down by the lack of music. The classic piano "da na, da na" tune that comes on when he has a victim in his sight. Of course I didn't expect Zombie to use it every single time, but he rarely used any of the classic piano tunes at all. I know it is a Rob Zombie film, not a John Carpenter, but I think the music could have added a lot more to the movie. And plus when you think Halloween, you think of the infamous iconic tune.

Now, let's get in to the characters. I don't think I have ever seen one human scream, or cry as much as Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton) did. It actually got quite annoying after a while. We see her continuously just blunder throughout the entire movie. We have Doctor Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) who, in the first movie, seemed like he was truly there to help and put an end to Michael. In the second one, we see a greedy, materialistic Loomis who cashes in on fame by writing a book about his encounters with Michael and everyone else's. Even exposing to everyone Laurie's real identity as Michael's sister "Angel". Loomis was just an asshole this time around, a total character 180 flip. Oh! And I thought for sure they would bring Daeg Faerch to play young Michael. Chase Vanek took the role of the demented 10 year old Michael Myers this time around. The acting on his behalf wasn't the best, but then again being compared to Daeg it's hard to fill those shoes.

I had two big turn offs about this film. The first one is the town of Haddonfield. In the first one it was rural, a conventional town. And in the second one, it's like they're secluded and hiding in the woods somewhere, cut off from everything. I liked how Zombie basically counted down the days until Halloween, but then when it was Halloween it didn't even look like it. We see some kids going around trick-or-treating, but that is the extent of it. My second turn off was that everyone looks like they haven't seen the inside of a shower in the past year. Yes, their lives are a mess from the whole ordeal a year ago but I think it was too drastic of a change to the setting. I get that Michael turned that town upside down, but Zombie didn't have to make everyone so dirty and well gross.

Rob Zombie is a great Horror director. He definitely took Halloween and instead of creating an exact carbon copy of the original, he made it in to a Rob Zombie film. In closing, if you liked the first one then in some little way you may like this one. It's just a completely different movie, and had no semblance to the first one. It had its strong points, and in my opinion, many weak points. You'll either love it or hate it, I don't think there is a "grey" area to this movie.

Having heard a lot about the brilliance of Feast, I have finally watched it.

What can I say? Well words tend to stun me right now. I have seen my share of horror movies over the years, movies that stun; movies that thrill but never have I seen anything quite like Feast. The first thing I fell in love was how quickly the pace of the movie picks up and hurtles you into a blood-thirsty battle that from that point is non-stop.

The first thing I have to say is that the lighting of the movie is a perfect assemble to the piece. The colours never run too brightly nor harshly but instead blend into the way of the movie quickly and with an ease. Aside from this the music is most definitely a brutal sense on the ears and made my heart pounder than ever before.

The affinity I garnered from the characters happened within minutes of meeting them and I very easily fell in love with the character of Tuffy (played brilliantly by Krista Allen). Working a job she hates and letting the boss do what he wishes with her (I shan?t divulge what) she reveres her life with only one thing that keeps the day going and that?s her son.

Funny man Judah Friedlander played quite aptly named ?The Beer Guy? is the comedian of the piece and he provided me with many laughs throughout the film.

One of the brilliance?s that struck me of this movie was the information under each character giving you an insight to each and in turn playing with your emotions. Considering this was the first time I saw the movie I very easily went under the impression that when the guy stormed into the bar stating he was going to save everyone it would happen and then, you know. Never before have my senses been teased as they were through this movie.

And while I initially got annoyed with this, once I looked back at the movie the annoyance gave way to a ?Well done!?. It takes a lot to change the direction of a character and keep the audience happy with the twists of the story and Feast managed it in heaps and spades.

Lastly I love the freshness of the movie. How it didn?t focus so much on why the monsters were there but more on how each character planned to survive the onslaught. I adored that it moved frequently and at a fast pace without giving you a chance to breath and also allowed you to laugh at how horny the monsters were so that they were given a bit of humanity in the process.

The plot is simple and to the point, the characters are such that you will either love or hate them but long for many of them to survive and the blood and guts doesn?t stop flying. It is hard for me to find a disadvantage about this movie except for the occasional slow moment and those are rare in this movie.

Thanks to this site I have finally seen a movie worthy of its acclaim, I am left with nothing to say except if you have not seen this please do. You won?t look back. Absolutely brilliant and a masterpiece in what a true horror movie should be.

Fan-bloody-tastic!!

I think that (zombie) movie lovers will not only enjoy the "classic zombie-ness" of Fido, but will appreciate the humour and original plot that Fido will provide.

The cast is awesome,and I think Fido will be one of this generations' Zombie-classics.

There are a wide variety of Zombie characters, (in different levels of decomposition)-Isn't that the best part? Fido Rocks!!!


I can tell ya that the cast is experienced, and famous. Therefore, fans of the cast generally will see Fido, and hopefully they love zombie-flicks, Who doesn't on this site?

Special FX for Fido are classic, and super exciting, gotta see yourself!

The director was amazing during shooting, sooo nice, and efficient, he had great ideas. The story is unique, yet brings the same classic feel to zombie movie-lovers.
