Day of the Dead
by justinNothing terribly special. This is just one more average arse zombie movie to throw on the big pile of other average arse zombie movies. Innocent characters who you thought would last are picked off. cool gore effects, not so cool zombie-on-the-ceiling special effects, people die, zombie are crushed, uninteresting plot, bad acting, unnessacary character development, un-scary atmosphere setting, big whoop, the end.
Im pretty sure this is not a sequal to the far superior 2004 Dawn of the Dead, and im also pretty sure that it's best to rent on a drunken Saturday.

Dog Soldiers
by justinDog Soldiers just goes to show that you dont need a massive budget and bombastic special effects to make a purely enjoyable movie (does'nt it Micheal Bay?) This is honestly the best werewolf movie out there, second maybe only to Underworld, but to tell you the truth I enjoyed this just as much, maybe more.
The werewolf effects are entirely anamatronic and done with suits and pupeteers, but as with alien, it adds that effect of them not being CG. They are really there, in the frame with the actors trying to eat them alive. The werewolves are tall, scruffy and lanky, they kinda look a little shaky, but the camera isnt ever focused on them for very long, making fast paced and frightening action sequences.
Dog Soldiers also features top notch british humor, with dozens and dozens of fantastic funny one liners and comments peppering the carnage. But what is so great about them is that as enjoyable as they are, and as much as you get to like the characters, it never ever takes away from the grizzly atmosphere of being stalked and hunted by bloodthirsty lycanthropes.
Be warned, this is a gory one. Not outlandish sick-for-the-sake-of-being-sick gore, but well done and effective violence. Another thing it does well is actually makes you give a shit about the characters. Giving them genuine personality instead of just obviouse attempts at giving them quirks designed to make you feel pity makesit that much better.
This is truly a great werewolf movie, and I reccommend it to fans of british humor, army humor, monster movie lovers, werewolf movie lovers, gore heads movie enthusiasts and everyone inbetween. Except, you know, for kids and wussy people.
Justins Best Bit: Sean Pertwee as Sarge delivers most of the best lines. "We are now, up against, live, hostile targets. So, should little red riding hood show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude I expect you to tune the bitch." Also, the sequence of Spoon vs werewolf is absolutely awesome. How many guys take on a werewolf bare knuckled and beat the living snot out of it? Spoon is one of my all time favorite heroes for that. Champion.Apologies for the double post, but I left out something in Justins Best Bit that I felt was absolutely nessacary to include. Otherwise I would have just left it.

Rogue
by justinEver been browsing the weekly rental shelf at your local DVD emporium and counted about a dozen terrible-but-so-terrible-its-great-to-watch type of monster movies? Often entitled "Grizzly" or "Cobra" or "Komodo" or "Panda"...................... *ahem*, they're something silly and ultimately nessacary to the lifeblood of Hollywood, to pick out fresh talent or give rookie directors and film crew their first bumbling run at providing entertainment value for those with their arse parked in front of a screen.
Well, Rogue, is essentially just another one of those movies, except its one that tries really really hard to be like the more successful monster outings, but comes up just a little short. The CG crocodile, at a distance look way too much like a computer model for you to feel as if your looking at a real animal, but the anamatronic puppetry of the close up shots are not too shabby.
Its a premise we all know and, lets face it, love. Group of people find themselves cornered by something with the capacity to kill them, youve got the token love interest, the token good guy, the token dumbass who gets someone killed and the token 16 year old girl who screams and cries and only exists because the director thinks she makes the situation seem more chilling (yawn). But because it has these stereotypical elements, it makes the scenes that try to break the mould of monster movie formula look completely out of place. There used to be a time where you could watch a group survival film, and predict absolutely everything that would happen, down to the order the characters would die in. It was a perfectly good and fun formula, one you could rely on and one that you enjoyed. Now creature features are trying to be all different, trying to change, but they dont have a damn clue what they are gonna change to yet. People you expect to get killed arent always the ones that get killed straight up anymore. The environment the characters are trapped in, isnt stuck with for the whole movie, making it almost seem like middle parts of two different movies stuck together.
Its saving graces include miraculous airshots of the Kimberly and Ahnem Land. A crocodile that actually, you know, moves and acts like a crocodile is nice to see. And thankfully the acting wasnt absolutely terrible. You know, Hardley Tom Hanks callibre but not Kim Basinger in Cellular quality either.
It was billed to do to crocodiles what Jaws did to sharks, villinise them. But we Australians have a very good understanding of the animal itself, and this has hardley the film-making breakthrough quality of Jaws, so I dont think anyone is going out and hunting them down after seeing this anytime soon.
All in all, Rogue delivers the occasional splatter of gruesomeness, with that oversized animal come monster feel to it. Its a movie that takes part in the trend of trying to take creature features in a new direction. The question that remains is where exactly are they going?
Justins Best Bit: After worrying when and where the dog will die the entire movie, it is rather satisfying to see it finally get chomped in a way that showcases the power of a crocodiles jaws (most powerful jaws in the animal kingdom. Look it up). Satisfying in a rather sick way of course. Kind of like inserting your finger into a---ah forget it.Monster movies are rapidly changing. This may very well be one of the last ones that retains qualities of the traditional group survival formula. Lets pray it isnt.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVP 2)
by justinNOW we're getting somewhere. Plenty more gore, including a Silent Hill-esque hospital of horrors caused by the cool looking pred-alien hybrid. The sick violence factor gets a real rocket up its arse thanks to that scene.
But still beware, its still silly and cheesy with no real suspense and maybe one good scare, credited to the "monster at the window" scene. Speaking of the monster window scene, watching a childs worst nightmares (monsters, boogeyman, Micheal Jackson) come true, completely debunking everything the adult world tells you, is really quite unnerving in my opinion. Few movies know how to effectively do that although here im pretty sure it was an accident.
This movie is shameless in its exploitation of two beloved franchises, now turned into little more than excuses for making silly movies for the hell of it, but for those with their eyes and ears open there are a few homages thrown in to the origional predator and alien movies (Get to ze chopper! Haunting little bleep bleep motion tracker).
The main fight scene between the pred-alien and the predator is too dark and too fast and zooms in way to far to the characters, making for an unsatysfying fight scene, and the ending leaving the franchise wide open for the predictable third installment. Gee I cant wait too see how shameless that one gets.
Justins Best Bit: Acid+face=funny.Honestly, I should not have been so generous with the stars, but it gets extra marks for effort. Despite being, at heart, a crap and forgettable movie.

American Gangster
by justinCrime movies usually have a villain that fits the role, but somehow Denzel just doesent have a "bad guy" face. He's egotistical and smarmy sure, and he is cool and in control (usually), but he just doesent "look" like a dangerous guy.
Same can be said for Rusty, he, like Denzel, is a brilliant actor, but both eould fit better in eachothers roles. Unfortunately , since its based on a true story, thats not possible. But what a true story it is.
Essentially its a very 2d and simple event, but is told with the realism of the times it is set, which makes it effective and compelling. Unfortunately, it takes about half an hour before you can actually start following the plot properly.
It also made me think, "If the authorities at the time were oblivious to all these major drug problems, and all these years later theres a movie documenting every single aspect of what went on behind the scenes.......who are they gonna cast as Bin Lauden in 40 years time when theres a movie made about his capture and/or death?"
American Gangster is primarily a story about the gritty drug trading Lucas family, but it comes side by side with clench worthy, realistic and very well crafted violence. The fact that its based on true events make it even more compelling. A real success of a crime movie and worth checking out.
Justins Best Bit: The eventual raid on the Lucas drug ring. Gunfire, violence and naked black chicks.Crime movies, in my opinion, have been lacking a little substance lately. American Gangster thankfully reverses this trend.

Halloween (2007)
by justinNow let me stress the fact that I have not seen any of the other Halloweens or anything to do with Micheal Myers. But if they are anything like this, which Im sure they arent, then they should be fricken great.
Youve gotta give zombie some credit, he copped alot of shit for his first couple of movies, well lets see you make a full length feature film for the first time and make it perfect you fucken nit-pickers.
He has definately evolved and matured as a film maker, but his trademark sickness and degredation is still plainly obvious, and it just wouldnt be a Rob Zombie movie without a bit of an appearance by Sid Haig.
The movie manages to really suck you into the Myers world, by spending excellent character development time on the young killer, which really makes you see and synpathise with that tormented young boy behind the mask. This is then advanced by the reputation he gains after his initial spree.
But probably the creepiest thing this movie does, is take you on a trip to your childhood, back when you still beleived in monsters and the boogeyman, and make you remember the fear you felt imagining an attack by such a creature. Well that is exactly what hapens to two young kids who, to their credit, acted it brilliantly and beleivably. Watching the "Boogeyman" terrorise the children kind of makes you feel like a scared kid yourself and evoking genuine viewer emotion like that is so extremely rare in a horror movie.
Overall, this is definately worth watching, whether youve been accustomed to the Myers legacy or not.
Justins Best Bit: "Was.........that the.......the.....boogeyman?"
"You know what? I truly beleive that it was"Zombie is slowly but surely building up his movie making chops. Halloween, obviously still far from a perfect movie and not catering for the tastes of High School Musical enthusiasts, looks to be the open doorway Zombie has made for himself to step into the movie making buisness. Bringing with him his own trademark insanity.
