Hi,i'm a die-hard J.R.R Tolkien fan (I can see you've probably gathered that)anything Tolkien is a sure fired way to get on my good side.....he is king,god,a saint as far as im concerned.
Aside from that im a true movie nut,I will give any movie a chance with exception to romance/cry-in-your-coffee (okay,chick flicks)type films,im not good with those. I tend to stick with the mainstream type films,so if you have a recommendation you think I might like (apart from mainstream)feel free to send them. |

Ginger Snaps
by THere we have a highly entertaining movie. I was never a werewolf movie fan, and I feel most of them are made for hardcore fans rather than to casual viewers. The thing is, in most of them, there's the obviously unrealistic main theme which is, on top of that, usually stretched, and as a result we have a genre I can't truly relate to. Furthermore, due to the unfortunate choice of title and poster, I wasn't exactly keep on giving this a go.
Glad I did, though.
Yes, it has its cliches, yes, it has its cheesiness, and no, it's not remarkably original.
Yet, it mixes all that in the right dosage, and by adding some great lines, nice visuals, a fair amount of realism (as much as you can within the subject, that is), an appropriate sense of humor, a properly chosen cast, and a certain amount of plot in-depth and symbolism, it certainly gives the viewer a flexibly enjoyable experience.
Plus, it features what has to be one of the best pair of sisters I've ever seen on screen. Although one was clearly more disturbed than the other.
Provided life doesn't get in the way, Katharine Isabelle just earned herself another stalker.
Sorry.
I meant another disturbed, sexually harassing perv.
Another positive note for the ending, which I felt was the right one, give or take, although in order for me to continue to keep feeling that way, I need to ignore that Ginger Snaps has a sequel.
If I do have to consider the sequel, then my opinion about it necessarily changes.
But one of the best things about writing your own review is that you don't have to do anything you don't feel like doing.
So there you go.
Highly recommendable if you're a fan of the genre, and worthy of a chance if you're not.

Hush
by TOne thing I instinctively tend to hate is God.
As this has nothing to do with the subject, another thing I instinctively tend to hate is seeing my money spent in something I didn't sign up for.
And that was exactly what I got with Hush.
I went to see this movie at the Mayhem Horror Film Festival, which suposedly featured some upcoming horror masterpieces, along with some great cult classics. Amongst the first, Hush was being praised as an anguishing and genuinely terrifying experience which was bound to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The sad part is that it was actually able to do that during the first half an hour or so, just before blowing it all away with a mouthful of cliches and ridiculously over the top moments.
The screening was introduced by the movie's director, Mark Tonderai, and I should've known something was about to go incredibly wrong when I realized he looked like a hobo version of Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine.
Unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to the omen.
The good moments of the movie showed an incredibly realistic, slow-paced and growing uncomfortable atmosphere, which really made it look promising.
Then came the Hollywood part, delivering a poorly disguised lame love story, a fair number of scenes so far fetched that would make a Heroes' episode look like your regular day at the office, and a hero wannabe who suddenly became so amazingly skilled (although crying and drooling all the time, which leads me to conclude it's hard being a super man without losing a bit of control over your salivation process) that he could apparently spit right in the middle of Chuck Norris' forehead without fearing for his genitalia.
Too bad.
Watch the first 30/45 minutes, then stop immediately and make up your own movie.
And you might be in for a treat.
Unless you're Hollywoodish, in which case I recommend you to do the exact opposite.posted 12 days ago -

Children of the Grave
by TJudging by this sample, and considering I already had the pleasure (as in, a word for something that makes you feel like you're carrying a terminal illness) of watching Death Tunnel, it's safe to conclude that the Booth brothers should really stick to their good old porn years. That's the only movie industry where it's appropriate for one of the directors to wear a cowboy hat and for both of them to have no direction skills whatsoever. Let's face it, it's doesn't exactly require Polanski material to shout instructions like "Bring the camera here so we can see it from behind", or "Not to the floor, moron, to her face!", or even "Ehr, you guys can go home, I'll hum... I'll shoot this final scene with her."
Also, and if you're actively interested in these types of phenomena, it's not like you'll find anything tremendously new with this one either.
That being said - and since this was, in ALL other aspects, a nullity -, the reason why I gave 2 full stars to this waste of film has to do with some interesting footage they were able to gather in their investigation (that is, if you decide to trust it), and because it made me familiar with the Zombie Road case, which was something I had no knowledge of.
Although there is hardly any merit of the filmmakers in this - they just picked up some footage taken by another person -, it was in fact with Children of the Grave that I heard of it, which allowed me to research it further.
But, apart from that, zero with a capital "Fuck you for making me waste my time."
One final word for the soundtrack.
Made me feel a continuous urge to ripp my ears off with my canines.
That's how good it was.
Still, and amazingly enough, it's slightly better than Death Tunnel.Hey, you should really see this!
I really mean it!

Dead Birds
by TFew days ago, a tasteful Flixster user told me that Dead Birds was somewhere described as "the most atmospheric horror movie".
So obviously, I had to give it a go.
Obviously, the above quote is an overstatement.
But that does not mean that this isn't clearly one of the most eerie atmospheric ones to come out in the past few years (Asian horror aside).
This movie can in fact raise some hairs in the back of your neck. You just need to create the right setting around you and you're set to go. This is clearly the best achievement of Dead Birds, along with the way the story unfolds until a particular moment.
The acting is uncompromising for the most of it, and that's good enough for such a story, which is not (let's face it) that original, though they surpass this detail with the way they chose to pick it up. It's not a fast paced movie by any means, so you're very likely to be disappointed if you watch it with such expectations. But its pace is another great accomplishment of it. It starts off slow, stays on slow and you don't even find it incredibly fast when the whole thing blows up in your face.
And that's where they mostly got it wrong, IMO.
Simply put, there are some movies which should only have the single purpose to suggest, rather than to show. This is one of those, as most atmospheric ones are.
It ends up showing too much, and telling too much, and that's its biggest flaw.
There's also some awkwardness felt when you hear suposedly XIX century's characters saying things like "No shit!", I suppose.
But you get over it quickly.
If you're a fan of horror atmospheres, then you should definitely give this one a go, even if the last half of it does not match the first one in terms of build up.posted 20 days ago -

The Midnight Meat Train
by T(Well B., you were right about the hesitant part, that's for sure.
Though my opinion about it doesn't exactly strike me as popular, so you might be in for a treat with this one.)
Midnight Meat Train is just one of those movies...
You know, one of those movies that suck.
I could, however, find some good things in it:
- Clive Barker's story. Most of it (ending included) is original and well thought;
- some (few) eerie atmospheric bits;
- one thing my grandmother taught me is that fair amounts of blood and guts are always enjoyable in any given situation.
Now let's see if I can somehow pack the bad things in a short statement:
- cliche acting, cliche dialogues;
- for some reason, it's very hard for me to look at Vinnie Jones' mug when he's trying to pull off that serious look and not laugh, with that kind of laughter that says, in a Homer tone, "He he he... he's such a bad actor";
- sadly, I still haven't read any of Barker's Books of Blood yet, so I don't know how faithful the movie is to the original story in all its aspects, but either they've changed it beyond tolerance, or that's one story that should've never been adapted to the big screen.
But somehow I doubt the story's characters talk like plain old Hollywood predictable pun throwers;
- everything else I forgot.
Which I undoubtly did.
So if you just feel like watching something where Vinnie Jones is being violent, simply try one of the soccer matches he played and was sent off from due to unprofessional conduct.
EXACTLY!
Pretty much any soccer match he played in will do.
Final note goes to say that this can actually be interesting to watch if you have an almost sexual thing for late night deserted subway stations.
Though if you do, I'd probably advise you to become a subway ticket machine rather than watching this.
Ah, but I'm not militant about it.

Druids (Vercingétorix)
by MontyWith an IMDb rating of 2.7/10 you know it's going to be bad.
Bad acting, script, editing and even soundtrack (according to some at least).
I'm sure Vercingétorix is a national hero for some and plot-wise it could have become a French Braveheart.
Only reason I started watching it was to see if it was really as bad as people said. And it was. I didn't even finish it.
Not even the brief female nudity can save this ship from going "blub blub blub" to a watery grave in the ocean of bad bad movies.
Stay away!Hey, you should probably avoid this! Those of you who have rated this as "Not interested" you are completely right.
