| Heavenly Creatures - R | September 2, 2008 | N/A | ||||
| Quick Change - R | I had not seen this film for years. It's just as good as ever. Would make a good double-bill with AFTER HOURS. | August 25, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Death Race - R | Anyone who tells you this movie is good is a liar. I'd just assume re-watch ALIEN VS PREDATOR again. C'mon Anderson!? I love RESIDENT EVIL and EVENT HORIZON! You're killing me... | August 16, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Diary of the Dead - R |
Hang it up, George. You're concepts are dead. Here's a great idea for a movie: A should-be retired horror filmmaker struggles to find his inspiration in a wasteland of imitators. He finds loves with a young woman on the set of his most recent re-hashed idea and strives to re-write the film and infuse it with the new found passion he feels for life and unrequited love. And then zombies attack... |

| Pineapple Express - R | A sloppy mess. James Franco makes it all work though. A brilliant beginning and I simply cannot dismiss the inspired idea for the Huey Lewis theme song - but overall - blahhhhhh... | August 16, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) - PG-13 | Where did it go wrong? Great monsters, great production design but none of what the first one work. It pains me to say this, but I was dissatisfied on a whole. | August 16, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Wild Boys of the Road (Dangerous Days) - Unrated |
During the Depression, two teen boys leave home to search for work and meet other young adults in similar predicaments. Typical Pre-Code era film with a stinging societal slant; blaming the issues of crime as a problem that rests in all of our hands. One of the best movies I've watched in a long while. |
June 28, 2008 | N/A | |||
| The Spiderwick Chronicles - PG | Good stuff. Harkens back to the kind of 'dark' kids movies from my youth. And did I just see Andrew McCarthy? | February 27, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Dolores Claiborne - R | I love the passages of time and the transitions from the past to present day. Danny Elfman's music here is sublime. | February 26, 2008 | N/A | |||
| To Die For - R | When Nicole Kidman places the boom box on the grave of her dead husband at her funeral and plays Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" I nearly wet my pants. One of the best movies of the 90s and my favorite Gus Van Sant flick. This little number is pitch black. | February 26, 2008 | N/A | |||
| King Kong - Unrated |
Best line in a movie ever. A stampeding stegosaurus is killed by the expedition. One of them looks to the man who killed it and asks what it is. The man replies: "Something from the dinosaur family." I rewind and watch that scene endlessly. I need help... |
February 26, 2008 | N/A | |||
| The Darjeeling Limited - R | Sucks. The only thing limited here was my time, so I left. How did it end? | February 26, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Doctor X - Unrated |
Mike Curtiz, before he made Casablanca, knocked out this stellar horror picture. Shot in a rare two-strip technicolor process, this has one of the creepiest vilains of early talkie horror films. "Syn-thetic Fleshhhh!" |
February 26, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Santo y Blue Demon Contra Los Monstruos Zero - Unrated | Santo and The Blue Demon versus Dracula, his vampire bride, Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, The Wolfman, A Cyclops, a mad scientist and a hunchback dwarf and his army of zombie henchmen. Need I say more? | February 26, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Zapped! - R | What's all the fuss about? Although Scatman dodging flying sausage rolls is quite a site | February 24, 2008 | N/A | |||
| The Kid Stays in the Picture - R | February 23, 2008 | N/A | ||||
| Cul-de-Sac - Unrated |
This may be my favorite Polanski movie right after The Tenant - and I am so surprised that after all this time STILL no DVD in the U.S. Very stylish, funny and peculiar. Oh, and the soundtrack - awesome. I've got the LP re-issue from a few years back... |
February 22, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Juno - PG-13 | February 21, 2008 | N/A | ||||
| I Wake Up Screaming - Unrated | I just watched this again. This is probably the best film noir ever made, at least I think so... | February 20, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (Plane Dead) - Unrated | I wanted to like it, but just couldn't. I hate to shit talk other people's movies - so I'll just bite me tounge on this one | February 11, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Reform School Girls - R | I told Sybil Danning that I saw this movie at such a young age and I'm reasonably certain that the experience perverted me for life. She was not sure what to make of my comment, but I guess she was flattered. | February 11, 2008 | N/A | |||
| After Hours - R |
I may have seen this movie more than any other. Scorsese's best in my opinion. Sometimes a man is so desperate for sex potential, he'll go after any woman - even if she is manic. |
February 9, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Rocket Science - R | Subversive good fun. You all know that the movies under the radar are the best in the long-run. | February 7, 2008 | N/A | |||
| There Will Be Blood - R | I'm a family man, I run a family business. This is my son HW. I don't like most people. You have a milkshake, I have a straw; I drink your milkshake. | February 7, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - R | Hang up your shears, Timmy. You've lost your edge. Some good moments, but overall pretty underwhelming. | February 7, 2008 | N/A |
