My Favorite Movies

Warren Oats takes the front in Peckinpahs modern day western. Possibly my fav. Peckinpah film.

Herzog and Kinski's masterpeice. Dreamy and unsettling. Kinski is so intense to watch. One of my all time favorite films. Geurilla filmmaking at its best. Herzog risks his life and the life of his crew to bring about this beautiful film.

Venus in Furs could easily be considered Franco's best film. It is breath takingly beautiful. The film has a surreal quality to it, that it evokes a haunting emotion that stays with you. There are some shots that may be the best in any Franco film. The Manfred Mann ultra cool jazz score is incredible. Maria Rohm is so freaking gorgous here. She's been in alot of Franco films but the impression she leaves you with in Venus in Furs is part of that haunting feeling you take away. She's fantastic here. And so is James Darren. Klaus Kinski has a small important role. I would like to say he was under used here, he's only in a couple scenes, but hes not. The story sticks with the characters its supposed to stick with.
This is as good as any of Francos best. And it is now a struggle for me to choose an absolute favorite Franco film. But this is a leading candidate!

Le Doulos is fucking amazing. It may be my favorite Noir yet. Its a 1962 French film but wears its allegiance to American Film Noir proudly on its sleeve. The b&w photography is gorgeous. Its new wave Euro flair gives this one an edge in comparison to most of the American Film Noir's that i have seen.
Le Doulos is full of some of France's more unique looking actors. Serge Reggiani is almost the spitting image of Rowan Atkinson. It was hard to not think it everytime i saw him.
The violence is almost shocking at times. Theres a great scene were a car is driven off a rocky cliff...in one take we see it plummet over the ledge, smash against the rocks below and as it impacts a body flies out of it 35 feet into the air. Unbelievable. I was cheering loudly in the theatre i saw it in.
Great dialogue, action, twists and turns and double crosses.

Brando is a lost soul in this, possibly the greatest film ever. highly erotic and powerful story.

Femina Ridens is one of the most interesting Giallos ive ever watched. Its visually stunning giving Bava and Kubrick a run for their money. Seriously! This film is visually orgasmic in its late 60's S & M pop art look. And the psycho sexual content is incredibly delicious. Dagmar Lassander portrays victim-predator with doe eyed innocents, one cant help falling into her web. One watching her dance with the unraveling gauze dress will know exactly what iam talking about. This is a masterpiece and needs to be seen. I cant help but think that other than Blood and Black Lace this was the most important pre-Argento Giallo.And a prime example of how Europeans were way ahead of Americans in film making in the 60's.

Possibly the best spaghetti western outside of the Leone bunch. Sergio Corbucci injects this film full of dread and unpredictable resolutions. The setting is so unique to the spaghetti western climate. It all takes place in a blizzard ravaged mountain village. The snow cover territory adds a touch of surreal beauty.
The ever reliable Klaus Kinski is as intense in the role of the bounty hunter, Loco, as he is with his roles in Herzog films. Jean-Louis Tritignant has to carry his role as the great mercenary known as Silence without ever speaking a single word or cry. Amazing on his part, for he brings alot to the character of Silence. I love how he shoots peoples thumbs off. Great concept. The Great Silence also benifits from having the talents of Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicholi score the film. The score is perfect. The main theme is so freakin cool. I have to get my filthy paws on a copy of it A.S.A.P!!!
With an ending that left my jaw dropping to the floor, The Great Silence has fast become one of my all time favorite films. Highly recommended!!!!!

If i had to think of one word to describe this film it would probably be 'sinister'. Even the score has a sinister sound. But one thing is for sure! There Will Be Blood is P.T. Andersons masterpeice! His directing ability has jumped many leaps above were he was before..and he was definatly no slouch before. In Fact i have pretty much loved all of his past films from Hard 8 to Punch Drunk Love. (Although the latter is a love hate relationship.) But it seems like the long time he took off between Punch Drunk and this was spent mentally honing his directing skills. This film is sure to give P.T. all the creative freedom he needs for future projects. This film is fucking amazing! Daniel Day-Lewis owns the best actor Oscar in my opinion. If he doesnt win.. there will be blood! Iam pretty sure this film will have haters of the ending. But Like No Country For Old Men, i think the ending is fucking perfect. And there couldnt be two better films to duke it out at this years big Hollywood political event..the Oscars.
Films dont get much more perfect than this. I think i can honestly say this is the best movie ive seen in a year! And ive seen alot of great films.

Probably the only epic horror film ever made. Incredibly intelligent as you watch the societal breakdown starting with the poor in ghettos. Total comic book horror with a realistic touch. screw the remake. The original had a genius like Mr. Romero behind it.

RAging Bull is one of Scorsese's best films. Next to Taxi Driver it might be his best. Ditto w/ DeNiro. This film is like watching the greatest ballet take place on a mine feild. Its so well done. The camera work and editing is dazzling! The musical score just adds that air of class to a film about a very non-classy character. LaMotta is a freakin animal full of anger and jealousy. And pity the poor bastard who LaMotta takes it out on.
And Pesci is without a doubt the best supporting player in the buisness! Ild love to see these three guys do One more movie together.
American cinema at its finest!

My favorite Polanski "horror" film. Watching Polanski, who cast himself in the lead, go through his mental breakdown is unsettling. And when he's at his peak into madness Polanski the director uses some really simple perspective shoots that leave you totally amazed. This film is truly a magnifecent ride into madness. Chockfull of looney characters. Brilliant filmmaking. Polanski at his finest!

Another beautiful film from Bava. Well paced and great story. My personal fav. in the Bava library.

This is John Waters at his tasteless best! Divine plays Dawn Davenport. Teenage deliquent who runs away from home and turns to a life of crime, after not receiving a pair of shoes with ChaCha heels on Christmas day.
This film is sooo wrong on many levels. I love it!!

Ozes atmosphere. I cant beleive i missed out on this film for sooo many years.

70's grit at its finest. My all time favorite action film.

Great spanish film has Bloody nuns on fire!

One of the greatest "New" Hollywood films. Hoffamn is so incredible as the limp legged "Ratso" Rico Rizzo. Incredible acting on Hoffamns part. He creates a sleazy sympathetic character. Its great the releationship that builds between the two characters. The other being Voight's hustling cowboy.
Midnight Cowboy is by far one of the finest films ever made.

Possibly the best film to be directly inspired by Night Of The Living Dead.

An awsome British attempt at the Italian Giallo! Awsome performance by Sutherland. Fantastic direction by Nicolas Roeg. He makes Venice an eerie city of mazes. And gives the film one of the creepiest endings ever!!

They dont make films like this anymore. "is it safe?"

Awsome film from Bava. The Wurdulake is gothic horror at its best. And The Drop of Water segment is sooo freakin scary!

Jeffery Rush could be the next Vincent Price!
Fantastic movie.

Hoffman and George play a couple who move to a small English village were George grew up. Fantastic film. Hoffmans the outsider and his marriage is falling apart. Awsome climax to an alreadty awsome film. In the running for my fav. Peckinpah film.

unbeleivable piece of cinamatic art!

Beautiful! Fantastic film about a mother and her daughter in law who turn into predators in 16 or 17 century Japan. They kill soldiers who stumble into their territory, to sell their weapons and armor for food. The film takes a supernatural turn and becomes a very scary story. Some of the most beautiful cinamatography ever.

Might be my fav. Anderson film? Willam Defoe is halarious! Steller cast!

Maybe the best trash film ever made. David Hess is his usual Psycho. Franco Nero is the bitter alcohalic writter who picks Hess up. Hess takes Nero and Neros wife (Corinne Clery) hostage. SLEAZY!

Ultra-cool film has Michael Caine playing a gangster who goes home to investigate the events surrounding his brothers death.
The final act were Carter is on the war path is awsome. In my top 20 films of all time!

"some day a real rain is gonna come down and wash all the scum away" In my top five films of all time.

Ernest Borgnine plays a sadistic train conducter. Marvin plays a hard as nails hobo determined to ride Borgnines train.

Night Of The Living Dead has the best opening setup for a horror film, ever! It sets the mood perfectly. Its a full on assault of the senses. The cast is brilliantly played by virtual unknowns...at the time. Judith O'Dea is amazing to watch go from calm to hysterical to full blown basket case over the course of the film.
What can be said about this film that hasnt already been said. Its a perfect film from start to finish. Horror doesnt get much better than this and neither does film for that matter. One of my all time favorite i can watch over and over and never get sick of. The perfect horror film!

The first film in Hammers Frankenstein series. Curse is basically a meat and potatoes version of the Shelly classic. And the first film to kick of the trade mark gothic horror Hammer studios were known for.
Peter Cushing really bites into his role as the obsessive Baron Frankenstein. And Christopher Lees Monster is truely scary! The first time we actually see him is one of the most frightning scenes in a horror film.
Hammer horror is more than just horror films. They had a dose of class and sophistication to them. And their whole series of Frankenstein films staring Cushing were the best.

Cushing decent into madness is at its peak! Great shot in the film were a woman is forced to hide a body and the local authorities show up.

solid final entry. Only get the dutch import. It includes the infamouse vein in mouth scene missing for ever.

Andy Warhol had nothing to do with this film! Udo Keir plays a great Dr. Frankenstein. Bloody and perverted!

Wilder basically wrote the film. And its his love for the series that shows through making this one of the greatest homages to Frankensteins Universal outings. One of my all time fav. comedies!

its rare when a sequel is as good as the original. Great dialogue! Great acting. Hakman gets the Frog!

This film shows Willie Nelson can act with the best of them. Great western. Busy is great. Barbarosa!

A unique slasher film. That is very different from the others in that its actually good! Leibermans choice of location is beutiful. Some really nice shots. And the two backwoods bros. are scary.

Creepy, strange and funny. Wilder IS Willy Wonka.

A great WIP> Great score by Bruno Nicholi. And a film that shows Franco has talent!

a classic!

second film in the Lone Wolf and Cub franchise. Just as good as the first and in some ways better.

A film that manages to be better than its predassesor!

Classic universal monsters with a classic comedy duo.

Lynches steamy film gets better and better with each veiwing!

Great film full of twists and turns. Bill Murray plays a great sleazy lawyer.

Groovey! Basicaly a remake of the original with more comedy and better effects. Classic fun!

Atmosphereic spanish horror has zombies on horse back riding in slow motion.

Fantastic homage to Romero films. A cult classic in its own right!

I love this film. SOO much fun. Great soundtrack to featuring The Cramps, T.S.O.L. and The Damned. 1985 was a awsome year for horror films.

Stylish and gritty. Van Bebbers first film is tough as nails! Great climax with one effect i still cant figure out.

A total pulp action film set against ww2. TOTAL FUN!

Great pulp adventure film!. All star cast of "mens" men. Gotta love a film that teams up Bronson, Savalis, Sutherland, Brown, Marvin and Borgnine! And then casts them into a WW II adventure.

Eastwood gets gritty in this awsome cop thriller.

Bava amazes with his uncanny ability to make a low budget film look like its 1,000,000 for its time! Great twilight zone type story too.

Ultra creepy zombie film. Not bloody but definatly atmosphereic. Nazi zombies wreck havoc on a bunch of castaways. Peter Cushing plays a mad Nazi Dr.

Hackman rules in this great thriller from Coppala. Great film. Coppala has said it to be his fav. of his films.

Stylish film about an assasin for hire. Plus his kid is along for the ride. Lots of arterial spray. Very bloody.

Every time i see another entry in this series i honestly have to fight off the urge to punch holes in my walls. The Lone Wolf and Cub films are honestly one of the best series of films ive ever seen. Aside from the action the cinematography is jaw dropping, the acting is right on and the musical scores are awsome.
Baby Cart In the Land Of Demons is the fifth and one of the best entries in the series. The end battle is nothing short of amazing. The fight coreography is some of the best sword fights yet. The story set up is freakin great. Ogami Itto must battle five messengers, each with 100 gold peices and 1/5 of the information of his job hes been hired to carry out. There is one defeated messenger in particular who delivers his message while on fire. Incredible!
Always fresh and never retreading the same story.

The third film in what has to be one of the coolest film series, Baby Cart to Hades is full of brutal Samurai action. Ogami Itto is without a doubt one of the coolest badass's to ever wield a sword and push a babycart! He takes on whole armies of Samurai and Ninjas. And shows no fear even in the face of possible death.
Every time i watch an entry for the first time in this filmseries of 6 films, Iam amazed that these films are not more popular than they are. Every one ive seen so far is fantastic. These are my favorite Samurai films . Each one has a great story. Gritty, Stylish and always full of arterial spray. I cant wait to watch the last two films.

The final film in The Lone Wolf and Cub series is a bit of a departure from the rest of the series, in tone. There's alot of horror injected into this one, and its very effective. Definatly giving this one a fresh feel. There are mystic warriors who travel by burrowing through the ground. The atmosphere is thick at times lending a real creepy presence to the film.
One a bit of a down note...the score sucks! The main theme is like a horrible Shaft theme. And the rest of the score is uninspired. The ending was a let down too. Having watched one of the coolest set ups in the series. One would of expected the film to climax with the enthusiasm that preceeded it. But alas it became the same old same old.
White Heaven In Hell is still a kick ass entry in the coolest film series and iam saddened it has come to an end. I hope Shreik Show still plans on releasing the t.v. series that followed.

Gory and sleazy!

stylish and totally enjoyable. Part period peice- horror- martial arts- revenge film.

not as good as the first but damn i love the Zombified Knight Templar on horse back.

amazing murder mystery has some extremly intense scenes. Fonda has my vote for the most convincing scared out of her fucking mind hooker at the end!

One of the best remakes ever. And its even better than the original! Great cast. Great direction.

Maybe the Best old school WW2 flick. Amazing cast.

i need to see it again to give it a proper reveiw. But i loved it the first go round.

Halairious!!!!!!!!! "you dont beleive we are...Indians? We have many..teepee" I love this film!

John Saxon and John Morghen in the same film. Nuff said!

All you peta people beware! Ultra sleazy and gory. John Morghen is a coked up lunatic. And his favorite word is "twat"

Fun adventure film that turns into a cannibal flick.

Ive seen this film 20 times and i still need to showerand scrub the filth off of me after veiwing it. The ULTIMATE CANNIBAL FILM. Peta people beware!!!

Truely disturbing.


I just watched this again after many many years. Its one of the best "serial Killer" films around. Loosly based on the real exploits of Henry Lee Lucas and Otis Toole. Since i fist saw this 18 years ago, ive always associated Tom Towles and Michael Rooker with these roles. Its hard not too still see them as Henry and Otis. Espeacially Otis. This is one fucked up film.

The funniest film ever made!
"Hey whitey, weres your hat?"

More offensive than Mandingo. More shocking than Behind the green door. you will cream in your jeans..

Psychadelic Horror.
"it wasnt any gopher!"

very good sequel.

awsome drive in flick has some kid infect a hippie cult with rabies by injecting pot pies with it; then feeding it to them.

fun film with BAD acting.

Stallones best film. "you drew first blood...not me"

Coen Bros. best film. dark and seedy characters.

Connery IS JAmes Bond. The Film that started it all.

Bond before the gadgets! My favorite Bond film. Robert Shaw is the villian. So many great peices in this film from the opening scene to the closing credits. Awsome fight on the Orient Express.

Another fav in the Bond series. George Lazenby takes over the role of Bond for 1 movie. Telly Savalis is Blofeld. This film took Bond back to the original tone of the first couple films with that there was no gadgets. Great spy film. Lazenby should of been Bond for more films.

The best film Moore ever did as Bond! A great entry in the series.

Brosnans first film as Bond. Horrible score though. But a great comeback for Bond.

One of the best Bond films in the last 30 years. Casino Royale is the film us Bond fans have been longing for. Its been a long time since there was a entry in the series were Bond was a total badass! Daniel Craig portrayes Bond better than anyone since Lazenby did him for OHMSS. Not to mention we get the best Bond villian, Le Chiffre, since Savalis did Blofeld.
This film set out to restart the Bond films with grit and guts. And it succeeds on all levels. I cant wait to see more Daniel Craig Bond films. And i think they should make Martin Cambell the man who directs the next couple of Bond films. He did a stellar job with Goldeneye and he returns to do an even better job with Casino Royale. He can be what Terrence Young and Guy Hamilton were to the series.
Jeffrey Wright is no Jack Lord; but he does a great job portraying Felix Leiter. A character ive missed for a while now.
Highly recommended to anyone who loves their Bond films served up with a warm bowl of grit!

Best remake ever! Fuck CGI. Rob Bottin shows how its done with rubber!

I get sick watching this film. But thats whats supposed to happen. The added noise effect of "biting grease" is used whenever a sandwich is eaten. Adds a nausiating effect.

Best action film to come in years. Goes back to the gritty feel of 70;s action films.

I saw this blindly in the theatre. AWSOME revenge flick with a twist ending i didnt see comming!

Crispin Glover steals the show. So does the foul mouthed kid brother of Reeves character. Dennis Hooper loves his blow up doll. Great film.

Jess Franco is an underappreciated filmmaker. He is a true artist. This film is one of his better arty films. The gorgeous Slodad Miranda is hypnotizing!!

"ehh....wash this"

A great sequel to a great film. The boys from Angel Beach are trying to expose a corrupt polotician and the KKK.

Awsome modern day war film. One of the best war films at that.

Great drive-in film. Warren Oats and Peter Fonda are chased by satanists.

Reggie Nalder is creepy. And this witch hunt film is a great sleaze ride.

Kubricks last film is also one of his greatest. I LOVE THIS FILM!

great gritty western in the style of Peckinpah and Fuller.

very funny film. with the cast of I Love Lucy.

Opie Cunninghams directs this funny film.
Morticians become pimps! Classic.

Instead of 1 killer baby we get a bunch. Better than the first film.

Sergio Martino is an underrated director of the Giallo. Great film with great twists. Edwidge Fenech is always hot to watch.

Suprisingly good! Very gritty. Michael Mann knows how to do action!

Sergio Martinos masterpeice in the Giallo catagory. Awsome twists and turn and acting make this a cut above the rest.

James Coburn stars in this very claustrophobic WW2 film from Peckinpah. Underrated. Great performances.

Boormans masterpeice! The lighting of this film reminds me of Mario Bava. Primary colors. Adding that extra magical feel. No other film on King Arthur can compare!

above average blaxploitation film. Awsome performances from Yaphett Kotto and Anthony Quinn. Very gritty and violent.

Argento takes a cue from Bava and reinvents the Giallo.

Fun film about fighting Commies on American soil.

scarier than any horror film ive ever seen. As soon as i was done watching it i wanted to watch it again!

Jodorowskis take on Psycho is brilliant.

I totally forgot how good this film is. I just watched it for the first time in ...14 years... Michele Soavi was at one time the man to keep an eye on in the Italian horror film. His return to filmmaking in the last couple years, after a loooong hiatus, is greatly welcomed!
Dellamorte Dellamore is a great horror/black comedy/art house film.

Anything with Powers Booth is worth seeing. And this deliverence inspired film is one of his best.

Adventurous and scary! Burt Reynolds isnt exactly the survivalist he says he is-HAHA
He cries like a bitch half of the film.

DePalma does another film on identity with gusto! Saw this for the first time recently and loved it.

Romero pays homage to EC comics with winning results. Savini creats the best Zombies of his carrer.

Wes Anderson is a genius! Bill Murrays performance's are the best of his carrer in Andersons films.

Classic Wes Anderson! Hailarious!

depressing film! But really good.

i feel really dirty whenever i watch this. Great movie though!

great scavenger hunt film. Disney goes adult with this one.

I love this film! Hip hop the way it was and should of remained! Great soundtrack, ive been looking for it for yeeeaaarrrsss.

Sometimes a bit too slow. But this pg rated zombie film is way better than most! From the director of Porkeys and A X-mas story. He made some of the best American horror films in the 70's.

LSD has late effects in this creepy tale. Scary looking Bald people! Jeff Leiberman did horror well for his short time he was involved in the genre.

saw it once and loved it. I need to see it again before i comment.

My favorite Tarintino film. Pam Grier is still hot!

Awsome performances make this film. Another one that makes me want to shower after watching it.

A Nicholas Cage film i actually liked (besides Valley Girl) Well deserved Oscar for his performance as a drunk. Elizabeth Shoe is hot...even with a bloody ass.

My first visit to Twin Peaks was kicked off here. After falling in love with the film i seeked out the series. Fell in love with the series then looked back on this film with disappointment.
I realize now the film is still brilliant. Its just that this film doesnt shed any light on what we dont know.
Lynch provides some truley scary moments . Visually beautiful, well acted and it has an awsome score by Badalementi. Underrated Lynch film.

I just re-watched this film after only seeing it once. It has some of the funniest supporting characters in a recent comedy film. Napoleon is funny but has a couple stupid characteristics..."gosh". But Uncle Rico, Brother Kip and freind Padro had me laughing hard everytime they were on the screen.

"We are going to eat you!" fitting tagline to one of the greatest zombie films ever made! Gianetto De Rossi creates the scariest looking Zombies to ever stumble across the screen.

visually the most beautiful film ive ever seen. Goblin creates a score thats as scary and beautiful as the film.

The film that made Daid Hess the ultimate sleaze and made Wes Craven a name to watch (if only for the next ten or fifteenyears!)
"piss your pants" .... sleazy!!!

Scorsese gets it right again. Lewis is incredible in his role. DiCrapio proves hes a good actor. And its really violent.

Fulci's gory return to Giallo. His sleaziest film! Features a killler who talks like Donald Duck. Besides being his sleaziest film this could also very well be his goriest.

Exellent sci-fi film. Russell exudes coolness. And his "fuck the system" attitude makes this character memorable. Carpenter was in top form during this era.
Imaginative, thrilling, and at times scary -(chock full o nuts)

Awsome film that would of been great to see at the drive in. Shatner screams like a bitch, making this worth seeing for that! A very underrated horror film. The last five minutes or more is just a complete grusome meltdown!

Incredible modern day take on Elizabeth Bathory. One of the best Lesbo Vampire flicks around. Highly recommended to any one into that type of sleaze!

Incredible documentary on the making of Apocalypse Now. Highlights include Marty Sheen getting piss ass drunk for his characters introduction in the film. Amazing!!!

ultra sleazy D'Mato film is his best film. Iris the house keeper gives me the creeps.

Uneven; yet great concept. One of the last of Carpenters greats.

Argentos giallo is like a film of his greatest hits. This film is loaded with style. And the slo-mo bullet in his ex wifes eye is something to behold.
This is the only film were he uses a heavy metal soundtrack and its not distracting.

An outragous film. I have so much fun watching this. Jeffry Combs is great as Herbert West as he seeks fresh corpses to experiment on. Fun Times!!

I had a hard time understanding this film when i was young. Saw it again at a more mature age and realized this is one of the scariest films ever made! Incredible cinamatography! Fantastic performances. Incredible make-up. And a truly horrifying story make this a classic film that doesnt loose anything with age!
I now have Reagan tattooed on my arm thank you very much.

CAN YOU DIG IT! i love this film!

Now this is how horror is done! I love this film and every time i see it, iam reminded how brilliant it is. Other than the casting of that Home Alone kid, this film is perfect. Robbins gives the best performance of his career. And Lyne does a great job never letting Jacob or the veiwer get comfortable for a moment.

When i initially saw this I was totally let down by the hype i had heard about it when it came out. But...i gave it a second chance not but a mere day later and i realized this is one of the greatest examples of comic book horror. Its not scary like i was told it was. It was fun and creepy and sick. And it still is. In fact it gets better as the years pass. Worthy of its reputation amongst horror aficianados!

Excellent third entry in Hammers Karnstein triogy. Peter Cushing is brilliant as the witch hunting Puritan. Hes absolutly mad!

classic comedy. One to watch over and over.

just as funny as the first. More stupid humor. I love these films.

stylish film from Peckinpah. McQueen is a badass!

incredible film. Kennedy is fantastic as a meat head prisoner.

one of my all time favorite films. This whole film ozzes dread.

I love this film. With its religious dealings. Great adventure film. Might be my fav. Speilberg film?

P.T. Anderson does a magnificent job directing this film. Amazing camera work. Alot of walk through shots. And Reynolds delivers the performance of his life. Brilliant!

Wow! What to say about this one. IT BLEW ME AWAY! one of those films you can watch over and over and still find something new!

The best film of the series. compelling story. Great sets. The snow fight is worth the price of the dvd alone. Not to mention the thrilling chase through the asteroid feild. Incredible. I can watch this film everyday.

Kubrick make large open spaces claustrophobic and scary! Incredible performances and a score thats as scary as the film! A classic.

Stylish. Probably the first full length film from Rodriguez that i actually loved. Not that hes a shit director, i just never saw anything by him that demanded his reputation. But this is definatly the film worthy of giving him cult status. Willis, Rourke and Owen all kick major ass here.

A freakin masterpeice. One of the greatest films ever made!

Lost in Translation is one my favorite films. I just rewatched it for the fifth time, as my girlfriend had never seen it before. And it gets better and better each veiwing!
The film feels so natural. The chemistry between Murray and Johansson is intense. Murray is one of my favorite actors. Even when hes serious, i laugh. There something about him? But i feel his performance in LIT is probably his finest to date.
Some may find this film to be dull, but i find every minute of it to be incredible.
Exellent job by Ms. Coppola! In my top 20 of all time.

incredibly powerfull. I wept like a bitch! Gibson is a fine director and this film has soem trully beautiful shots. This film is the most powerful adaptation of what his cruxifiction was like.

One of Nicholsons best films. Very powerful and moving at times. one of my all time favs.

Will always be Tarintinos classic. not my personal fav by him but still one of the coolest films ever.

Polanski is a master storyteller. Great film. Depp is fantastic as the seedy book detective.
I dont care what people say the ending is perfect.

very sleazy and gritty. Craven had it goin on early in his carrer.

one of the most beautiful touching films ive ever seen. David Lynch actually films his first straight film. Which is a sign of his true genius. There are still moments of total Lynch surrealism. Richard Farnsworth's suicide following the release of this film makes his role that more powerful! I get a lump in my throat whenever i watch this incredible film. He portrays such a gentle person. And he suffered a great deal in making this film. And Angelo Badalamenti's score is just as beautiful and touching to listen to. One of my all time favorite films.

Wow! This is probably THE ULTIMATE Lee Marvin film. And along with Get Carter, the ultimate revenge film.
Tough dialogue, incredible fights and Marvin ozzes badass! Oh yea, its a John Boorman film also!
They dont make them like they used too!

incredible filmmaking!

De Palma's most stylish film in ages. This is one of the most gorgeous films to look at. Enhanced by a incredible score, i gotta get it as soon as possible!!
The plot is almost unimportant to the visual orgasm this film gives. But its a film that has more going on in it than one is to beleive after the first veiwing. This is one of those see it many times over films. De Palma is once again playing on the dual identity idea he so does masterfully.
Rebecca Romijn Stamos suffers in the acting dept in some scenes but over all does a fine job. But man does she look gorgeous and De Palma had a feild day filming her!

This incredible Pschological thriller is an absolute masterpeice. Why it has taken me all these years to finally watch it is NOW beyond me! (i just watched it this morning for the first time!!)
James Stewart is absolutly fantastic in his role as the acrophobic detective. His acting range blows me away with this role!
The opening scene is trully horrifying as the cop, who turns to help a stranded Stewert out, falls to his death.
Its easy to see how inspiring this film was to other film makers. Espeacialy De Palma who has made numerous films dealing with identity.
Vertigo is brimming with style. Hitchcock, trully was a Master at the art of filmmaking.
Thank you Mr. Gildea!

This is not a film from Troma. But it feels like one. And if it were a Troma film, it would be one of their best!
This film is more about the lives of whino- bums living in a junk yard. But theres a sub plot involving a mysterious liquor called Tenefly Viper. That when drank, the drinker melts in glorious technicolor. This film is pretty offensive. Theres a scary rape involving a drunk girl and the whole community of junkyard bums. Were she then winds up dead, only to have her corpse raped by the fat ass who runs the junk yard!
One of the funniest scenes and my favorite part is the bum who puts chicken down his pants. Sooo fuckin funny.

An important film in American film history. Bonnie and Clyde is a violent and often funny gangster film. Faye Dunaway is magnifecent as the notorious Bonnie Parker. The relationship between the two characters is touching. Beatty's impotent Clyde is full of charisma and gusto.
Great cast includes Gene Hackman, Gene Wilder and Michael J Pollard who almost steals the show from Beaty and Dunaway.

Pans Labrynth is AMAZING! Its about as good as anything ive seen in recent years. It is dark, magical, sad and often very violent. Its about as good as it gets. Amazing cinematography, exellent speacial effects top notch acting and the coolest fairies ever put on celluloid! I cant wait to see it again! Gets my vote for the most original film in years.

Scary and twisted. Night of the Hunter is a classic. Even a masterpeice. The image of Shelly Winters under the water is as beautiful as it is haunting. This film has a surreal theatrical look to it. Almost fairy tail like.
Robert Mitchum is incredible as the evil preacher with love and hate tattooed on his knuckles. Shelly Winters also is in top form as the desperate widow.
I would of loved to of seen Laughton direct more films. But as it stands the one film he did make is possibly one of the greatest films ever made!

exellent film noir. great cast and as always a good solid seedy story.

Herzogs remake is like a dream. One of my favorite interpretations of the story. Very stylish.

Rebel Without a Cause is brilliant. It story of teenage youth, lost and in trouble, holds up just as as well today as it did when released. Every one should see this at least once!

exellent portraight of teens comming up in a small Texas town. Exellent cast. Espeacialy Cloris Leachman, whom iam used to seeing in comedies, turns in a great dramatic performance. And its great to see Ben Johnson in the suitable role of Sam the Lion.
I havnt heard many good things about the sequel, Texasville, But my curiosity haas been peaked.

Documentary mini series on HBO about the Katrina hurricane catastrophy and the lack of responce from the U.S. govt. in New Orleans. Its a very gut wrenching documentary to watch! It angers me so, to think about how careless and uncoperative the Govt. was and still is towards the people of New Orleans, AMERICAN CITIZENS!! Especially when you see and hear stories of people trying to escape the nightmare, only to be turned back by armed forces who were gonna shoot anyone who tried to cross a bridge that led out of New Orleans!
Made up of testimonials from the people who lived through the Katrina incedent, When The Levees Broke is a hard watch but a very important watch! It reaffirms my lack of faith in the powers that rule and dictate. And it drives that point home well.
I give this four stars, not because of its entertainment value...there nothing entertaining about watching footage of people on the brink of death, but because this is the most powerful documentary ive ever seen!

WOW! Incredible filmmaking on David Finchers part. But then again i expected that from the man who brought us Fight Club and Se7en. Great cast of supporting players. And the sight of the Zodiac killer dressed in his hooded "uniform" is a scary sight. And the stabbing that follows that sight is very unpleasant to watch. the most brutal stabbings ive ever seen filmed....next to the stabbings in Charlies Family from Jim Van Bebber.
Its so damn horrifying that they basically had the guy but because of police protacal and no second opinions this guy got away with murder.
Zodiac is extremly well made and it ranks up there with some of the best films as of recent.

I really enjoyed the hell out of this film. Its almost like an old school exploitation film. And it never went in the direction i thought it would go, multiple times no less.
Sam Jackson is pretty damn good in a role that suits him just fine. And Cristina Ricci is SMOKIN HOT! Let me repeat...Christina Ricci is SMOKIN HOT!!! This is probably the best role ive ever seen her in!
All in all.....a very entertaining time. Although iam sure this film will earn some haters.

ultra cool Bava film. Fab sets and lighting. Bava is a genius at camera shots. Fun and campy.

Incredibly under-rated. This film is a masterpeice! I guess no one wanted a good story...just action? I hope people get their heads out of their asses and realize it doesnt get much better than this!

The Night of the Following Day is a real gem! Brando ,as always, kicks major ass playing a bad guy who's the better of the bad men. Richard Boone plays a very sleazy role. This film has a weird-sleazy kinda vibe throughout. Maybe its the subject matter. Pamela Franklin plays inoccent well. And Rita Moreno plays "junked up' well. Fine performances from everyone.
One of my favorite Brando films!

Fulci's masterpeice! Great score by Fabio Frizzi.

I wasnt expecting anything more than an overstylized film. But i liked it. I think the films benifited actually from the stylization. Its hard to make a film like this and have all kinds of "creatures" and not be stylized in some way or another. I dont think it was the greatest film ever made...but definatly a very fun film. This film is one long BLOODY action sequence. Normally i would be turned off by that. But it works just fine here. I would probably see it again before it left the screen. I dont know how well it would hold up on a small screen. One complaint....this is a very LOUD film.

Slick, hyper-violent 80's Giallo from Argento. Great twists and beautiful camera work. I just rewatched this for the ...geez...8th time. The pounding "Goblin" score is incredible and one of my favs from them. (actually its not an offishal Goblin score...but three of the members from goblin) John Saxon is a great supporting character...and i always get a laugh when he shows off the stability of his hat! Not only does this film have the gloved killer but god damnit if it doesnt have the most acrobatic Doberman in the world! Tenebre also has one of the greatest blood spraying senes ever. As the walls just get painted with that crimson stuff!

Argento's first film is a great one. The Bird With The Crystal Plummage shows the beginings of the style Argento would be recognized for.
Things are not always what they seem in this great giallo. Great suprise ending and the finale in the art gallery is incredible.

Argentos late return to the giallo is a pretty satisfiying venture. Although knocked by alot of people for being like a "greatest hits" of Argento s. I find it to be a pretty solid film. From the opening triple murder to the ending. Sleepless is a good giallo film. Dont let the misleading cover art sway anyone away from this film.

dreamy and nightmarish all at the same time. Suffers from the metal music. But regains its dignity with some of the most dazzaling camera work.

Jess Franco's tale of innocence lost to sexual perversion and murder is loosely based on the works of De Sade. Soledad Miranda gives a great performance as the innocent Eugenie, who's obsession with the erotic works of her writer stepfather brings her to a world of incestuous perversion and acts of murder. Paul Muller and Franco regular is the stepfather. Francophiles will love this film. All others avoid. One of my personal favs from the endless Franco vault.

This is a grest example of a kick ass Giallo. Fantastic score and it also has the beautiful Edwige Fenech. A great place to start if your thinking of getting into this genre

Iam a real sucker for a Jess Franco/ Soldade Miranda film. She had a presance that demanded your attention. In typical Franco fashion Miranda uses her sexual power to its fullest. Who could blame him for wanting her to be naked as much as possible. And in addition to her stripteases he makes her a secret agent. Although her part is not as large as one would hope. The film its self isnt that bad either. Not as weird as most Franco films. though.

My favorite Price-Corman-Poe film. Exellent and moody.

Who Can Kill a Child possibly has the most grueling opening credits ever. Made up of documentary footage from concentration camp victims of WWII and other wars that followed. Mostly the footage contains child victims. My girlfreind was balling through the opening credits. God bless her for watching my movies!
Although the film starts out on a grueling note......which i too found extremly hard to watch, but focused on the subtitles, so i wasnt paying attention to detail...thank god......the middle drags a good bit.
A couple on vacation wants to get away from the tourist heavy mainland, takes a boat to an island 4 hrs. away. Once there, other than a few children the couple find the island "deserted" After a very long investigation of the island...and i mean long....the husband discovers all of the adults have been and are still being killed by the children.
This film is good but the slow middle and the frustrating decisions the husband makes prevent Who can Kill a Child from being a real gem. The husband by the way looks like a cross between "Andy Travis" from WKRP in Cincinatti and Peter Sellers. Odd.
The ending gets really fucked up as the question "WHO CAN KILL A CHILD" is answered......Andy Travis Sellers! Thats who!
The film is very gritty. And in no way is the lush style of director Narciso Ibanez Serrador earlier effort The House That Screamed apparent. But maybe it benifits from that? The House that Screamed by the way is a MASTERPEICE!
The major flaw of this film is its opening credit sequence and the hint through out of a political message.....like there would be no wars without adults or something like that. Its never a fully devloped point. And its a point that is totally unnessasary. But still the film manages to be an above average watch.

A very odd mix of sleaze and camp. It was not what i expected when i first saw this film. I expected more of a straight sleaze film. But the camp adds another dimension to the film making it satand out from other exploitation film of the time. Well made and sick at times.

First i have to start this with im a HUGE Lynch fan. Everyone of his film are favorites of mine! But Inland Empire may be my least favorite. With Inland Empire Lynch tells a story thats not easily grasped. And iam perfectly fine with that. Some of my favs are very non linear. Example : Crispin Glovers What IS it?! even Lynchs own Eraserhead. I love that freakin film. Lynch here seems more determined to evoke mood or emotions. And the only mood i had was that of discomfort. I was very uncomfortable during it. Maybe that was the way i was supposed to feel? So hes score big from me for accomplishing that. There are however some truly amazing peices in this film. One scene had me absolutly terrified. Lynch seems to be one of the only directors to be able to do that to me...wether its Bob hunched behind Laura Palmers bed in Fire Walk w/me or the Bum behind Dinnkys in Mullholand Drive. He kows frightning imagry. God damn iam still creeped out by the "teeth"!!!
One of the aspects of Lynch that i feel show in his filmmaking is that he was an artist before he began to make films. Filmmaking is just another medium for him to paint. And he does it incredibly! There is not one Lynch film that i dislike. I hold everyone of them up in high praise. Lynch along with Brian DePalma are in my honest opinion the top two American filmmakers alive. They have Grand visions. And they can both turn their style off to make very straight simple films when needed. Examples: A Straight Story and The Untouchables.And thats not easily accomplished by most.
Lynch is obssesed with distorting Identity, time and space. It is his most ambitious and experimental film to date. Its not a very pleasant film to look at. Its very dark in its lighting. It all takes place in dark hallways, dark allyways, dim light apartments etc....and the digital video he used to film it doesnt help. There is a very small story included but unlike his other films its not to be interpreted even with all the thought in the world. Its a very slow film and theres not much dialogue to keep you involved. The "doesnt make sense" aspect of the film doesnt bother me. Iam sure after multiple veiwings there could be the possibility of some minor interpretation. But after three hours of total discomfort i dont know if this one is on my list for multiple veiwings. But thats my opinion. Ive read alot of others reveiws were they think this is his best film. I dont agree....but when it comes to DVD in the summer ill give it another shot knowing what to expect.

Grindhouse is a total blast!!! I enjoyed every minute of it! Starting with the Faux Trailer for Machete... Grindhouse keeps the tone of fun set by Machete. Planet Terror was way fun. Very slimy. Jeff Fahey's BBQ character is straight out of an old lowbudget 70's horror film. But Planet Terror felt to "new" to me, with the exeption of a great synth score. It was uber fun non the less.
Thanksgiving gets the prize for capturing the authentic feel of a low budget 70's horror film. It reminded me of the likes of I Drink Your Blood, Pieces, Dont Look in the Basement. I would of loved to have seen this one as a actual film.
Dont, Pays homage to films like The Legend of Hell House and countless other British haunted house films. It was so dead on with the type trailers you would of seen in the 70's. With the narration repeating DONT! Awsome. Zombies faux trailer was good too
Death Proof is definatly misunderstood. Ive read alot of reveiws claiming it to be too slow. Sure it was talkie but goddamn it was good. His dialogue is fun. When it comes to witty dialogue i would much rather hear witty dialogue from him then some ass-bag like Kevin Smith. Kurt Russell kicks so much ass in it. The first car wreck was Brutal!! That tire going through the chicks head!!! My god! The last 20 minutes were intense!!Tarintino really nails the exploitaion vibe! The ending felt like Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Great stuff!! I cant wait to see it again.

I was fortunate enough to be able to catch this when Crispin Glover was touring it. (seeing is he's the only one with an actual copy of it!) It was a great night. He started the night off with a slideshow of some of his books. It was him onstage, with a red spotlight on him, reading from the pages projected behind him. Great performance artist!
Anyways...What Is It? is a really weird art film. Its hard to say what its about. It all takes place in the subconcious of a retarded kid. Who, by the way, is a racist and has an affinity for puting salt on slugs!? There is alot of imagry in here to make one uncomfortable. Crispin Glover also stars in this film. But the whole cast is made up of people with Down Syndrome. If Mr. Glover is ever in the area with this film.... check it out!! Itll be one of the best times of your life.

Lemora- a child tale of the supernatural is a very odd film. It has some moments of great atmosphere ( the bus ride). It subject matter is sleazy. with the part of the preacher who has fallen in love with his little angel. In fact this film is full of creepy characters.
Lemora is an ambitios film. You can really see the heart that was put into it by it director Richard Blackburn (II).
Great little latenight film with atmosphere.

you got to love a film that about 10 minutes into it....the female lead, Ocho is taking a bath when there is an assasination attempt on her life. Leaping out of the tub, only wearing her birthday suit and armed with a sword, she kills everyone in a awsome bloody mess! This basically sets the tone for the rest of this great film.
Sex and Fury is a great Pinky Violence film. One of the best forms of exploitation.
Also starring Christina Lindberg, star of Thriller - A Cruel Picture.

alright i think iam in the minority on this one. One of the sleaziest films to come out of the staes in 20 years. I loved it. Saw it 4 times in the theatre.
A huge improvment over House of 1000. Zombies sequel is destined to become a classic.

Zombie pays homage to 70 's horror. Sure there is nothing original in this film. Sure the dialogue is really forced. But i didnt care. I loved it.

I saw this one with the director present. Fond memories!
Incredibly funny and touching.

The ultimate Bava classic. Its incredible. It just draws you in and doesnt let go till the end!

A total homage to over the top action flicks of the states and with a couple nods to great classics like Straw Dogs. Hot Fuzz is way funny and full of wit. Edgar Wright reteams the brilliant pairing of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for this laugh fest. The story is great and the resalution to the mystery is halarious.
One thing about this film that detracts from its brilliance is the flashy epileptic style of the camera work and the uber fast editing. Its even used in scenes were there is no action taking place. Iam not a fan of this style at all. I dont know if this was part of his homage to action...seeing i dont remember its obnoxious use in Shaun Of The Dead. But by the time the climax was upon me i was getting a headache. But i have a felling the Wright was just parodying this technique. But man it got annoying!!! I think it will hold up much better on a small home screen than being engulfed in it at the theatre.
Hot Fuzz is brilliant and i look forward to more from the brilliant team of Wright, Pegg and Frost!!

One of my favorite giallo's. The Killer must Kill Again is a great sleazy little film. Not really a murder mystery as with other films in the genre. A great story dealing with the murder of a adulterers wife. Her body being put in the trunk of a car. And the cars being stolen by a young couple who head of to the beach. Only to have the killer track them down and dispose of any "witnesses" A must see for any fan of Itlaian sleaze. Fast paced and very sleazy. One of the better films in the genre.

First off seeing the Sandman on the big screen is amazing!! I almost pulled my junk out to give it a couple strokes when he first appeared in Sandman form! His first steps as the Sandman are without a doubt one of the finest moments in cinematic history!
The first hour or so of Spider man 3 are some of the best moments in the whole trilogy. His first fight with the Sandman, the whole fight between him and Harry. It was all perfect.
But really for me the only real losing moment came when Parker went to M.J.'s work and played piano. That was truelly uninspired. I could take the M.J. song numbers and the whole funky strut sequence...but c'mon Raimi what the hell was that!!!
That aside, Spider-Man 3 is every bit as good as i thought it would be. One thing to note is that Raimi has been very outspoken on the fact that Venom was a character he wasnt really interested in doing. And it kinda shows cause he's really reduced to a minor character. Hey it didnt bother me, as far as iam concerned. I love the old school spidey villians like Doc Ock, The Lizard, Electro etc.. Venom just never seemed to get the love Raimi gave to the Sandman.
One more thing....I know Raimi is a big fan of my reveiws, so ill say it here first....Raimi, babe, spidey 4!?..forget all that Carnage crap...Ben Kingsley as The Vulture......c'mon huh?

The second time around Spidey 3 wasnt as fullfilling as the first. I noticed a hell of alot more flaws. The ending is pretty bogged down with too many charaters. I still like spidey 3 a hell of alot but its not 4 1/2 star film, like i had previously given it. I blame the studio heads for this entertaining mess.

One of the reason sequels suck, is because the tend to tread the exact same ground as the original. 28 Weeks Later manages to avoid that formula. In 28 Weeks we follow a group of people through the streets of London. With the infected and the american military after them. Sure there are very minor similarities, but this film stands on its own. Its a really good solid entry in this series.
In the first film, we never see the chaos of the inital outbreak. We are introduced to the world that has already been through the chaos. 28 Weeks later also manages to avoid what it was like during the inital outbreak 28 weeks opens during that inital outbreak with a group of survivors trapped in a farm house: ala Night Of The Living Dead. but gives us a clue what it was like ; when the Rage Virus reamerges in a small populated part of London. And man does it spread fast! Scenes of people trapped in a parking garage with 1 infected, leads to almost all of them infected within minutes. Its a great scene. Also the low flying helicopter scene will go down as a classic scene.
I love these types of films: A band of survivors in an Apocalyptic setting being chased by mass crowds of cannibalistic plague carriers. Obviously zombie films come to mind. But with the 28 series ive always found a bit of "possible reality" to them with pandemics like Marburg and Ebola.
28 Weeks LAter is a solid film that delivers. But my one gripe isnt about story or acting. Its about that goddamn use of that epileptic camera style. I understand why its used....."to give the veiwer a sense of real chaos by making tham feel like they are there" But fuck! When your film is made up of action for 2/3's of it, it gets nausiating!....it can still be used, just in subtle ways, like a first person perspective shot. But when you see all the caracters in the frame and the infected chasing and attacking them....hold it steady for christ sakes. Its like these filmmakers sit around and say..." Everybody loves a good epileptic fit!... lets do that!!"
Other than that....I loved this film. Its got some great scary moments and of course its got Robert Carlyle. And iam looking forward to 28 Months Later. So far so good....

All time classic film.

totally amazing. Sure its slow, but this film really does have some important things to say. One of my all time favorite films. Great effects. Probably the best in Savinis carrer.

Highly under-rated Argento film is also his most experimental. Asia is great as the woman suffering for art!

The first in the series of the Harry Palmer spy films. One of the best spy thrillers.

Arnold was great in his limited dialogue roles.

Honestly one of the funniest films i ever saw. This film makes all Star Trek fans look like fools. "Get a Life people!"

Who doesnt like this film!

This is one of Friedkins finer moments. This reworking of Wages Of Fear was pretty much dumped on during its release. I dont really understand why though. Its not perfect but its far from a disater or even just O.K.. This film is great. The suspension bridge scene is edge of your seat intense!
Roy Scheider is always incredible to watch. He's always been one of my favorites and this is one of his best roles. Next to Jaws this is probably Scheiders most impressive role.
And of course the Tangerine Dream score is one of the key elements to the coolness of this film.
Scorcerer does have its moments of disappointment though. I dont like how a couple characters are sacrificed with out any dramatic impact and the final 20 seconds of the film had me saying "what!" But really those are two minor gripes compared to how perfect everything is that comes before them.
Highly recomended.

highly entertaining film! And a greathomage to vampire films of the 60's.
a little trivia for those interested. The guy who plays Evil now does gay porn!-hahahaha

One of my all time favs. I can watch this over and over.
"so did you get in her pants?"
"shes not that kind of girl, Booger!"
"why does she have a penis!?"

CLASSIC!!

A classic drive-in horror film. Based on Ed Gein. And possibly the closest adaption of him. Co-directed by Alan Ormsby of Bob Clark fame. And one of the first, if not the first, Tom Savini makeup jobs.
One of my favorite movies. Its so much fun.

A very strange and unusual art house type exploitation film. This is a film that needed to sink in to appreciate. I couldnt make up my mind after veiwing it. I have to be honest and say that while i was watching it i was a bit disappointed. I didnt realize this was more art house than exploitation.But as i thought about it after veiwing it, i really like it. I think a second veiwing is much needed. But it will be a bit before i do that. Its very much on the slow side. But the actors are superb. Especialy Bill Gunn- the director- who plays the mentally unbalanced assistant. The score is odd too. Containing blues, sound effects and African chants. This film is not about story. Thats pretty much irrelivant, it seems to me. But this film seems to center more on mood and emotions. Its a very strange film. But one that sticks with you.
Ive heard and read alot about this film over the years. But what i didnt know is the film that i was hearing and reading about isnt the true version. I really would still like to see the version that was bastardized by the release company for drive-in and grindhouse theatres.
Ganja and Hess is ultimatly a film that is up for all kinds of interpretation.

Iam not too big on the whole Sword and Sandle films. But Bava and Lees name brought me to this film. Its one of the most magically stunning films, visually. The story was fun enough also to keep my attention. The acting is hammy but who the hell cares with the visual orgasm this film gives. Bava fans take note....its one of his best in the visuals dept.

Considering that this film was released in '66, Blow-up was way ahead of its time from a visual standpoint. Amazing camerawork! And David Hemmings is fantastic as the cold photographer who thinks he has potographed a murder in progress. Blow-up is a great film that leaves you guessing about what just happened.

Incredibly well made documentary on the the self proclaimed god of rock and roll G.G.Allin. Often times as funny as it is shocking. This is perhaps one of the best documentary ive ever seen. I have seen this over 20 times and it still to this day never bores me. Sick stuff from public animal #1.
Hated was directed by Todd Phillips who went on to make Road Trip and Old School.

Heres a great Hammer vampire film. A couple has car trouble and get stuck in a town. Invited to a castle, they go, only to find they are the guests of Vampires. This has a great scene involving a cult gathering of Vampires. This scene iam sure inspired the great masquerade scenes in Fearlees Vampire Killers and Eyes Wide Shut.
Hammer horror is the best.

Hammers third film in their best series of films. The Evil of Frankenstrin finds the doctor discovering his original creation frozen.
This is an odd entry in the series because the creature is not his original creation as we know it to be. That would be the Chris Lee monster. This time around Hammer got the rights to the Karloff makeup from Universal. But the tweaked it enough that it looks nothing like the Universal make-up. This entry is also the only time Cushings Baron Frankenstein is a heroic figure. Instead of desending farther into madness like all of the other entrys....well he's not totaly mad in Frankenstein created Woman....but you get the jist.
Well done and another great entry in the best Frankenstein series around.

The fourth entry in Hammers Frankenstein series is quite different than the others entries. First off the "creature" is a young beautiful woman who possesses the soul of her deceased lover thanks to the genius mind of Baron Frankenstein. And the Baron himself isnt quite the bastard he is in the other films..espeacially the ones that follow this.
Good entry in the greatest Frankenstein series ever made.

Bug is a disturbing psychological thriller. Directed by William Friedkin, whos made two of the best examples of genre films...The Exorcist and The French Connection. Although Bug doesnt come close to being as great as those two films, its still a good Friedkin film, based upon conspiracy and paranoia.

powerfull film! amazing direction from Speilberg.

Amazing photography is the highlight in this Aussie horror film. Great character development. And one hell of a psycho.
Although this film had me screaming at the t.v. ALOT! But the cinematography makes up for some bad character choices.

Iam a total sucker for this stuff. Squirm kicks ass on all levels. Campy, scary and gross!

I think this is a great continuation of the Donner film. The weak point in the film though is Kate Bosworths portrayle of Lois Lane.
Kevin Spacey own Luthor! Brandon Routh does a exellent job summoning the soirit of Reeves.

one of the best examples of true Americana films. Hold up over the years. Truly amazing.

scary. A refreshing improvment on horror.

A very odd film, but very cool. Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani give very intense performances. They push their emotions to the brink of utter madness....and ours. Brilliant on their part. The "cuccumber" creature is cool. And Isabelle's miscarriage is about as moist as it gets! Very disturbing. I bet her lungs ached for years after filming that scene.
A very emotionally draining film. But my god i love it! One of the best european art house horror pictures.

A war film that plays like a comedy for the fist 3/4 of the film. William Holden leads this WW2 film about a outfit of American and Canadian GI's training to take out the Germans.
THe first half is a little silly to take seriously. The Americans and Canadians are in constant rivalry. Their goofy bickering ends when the men join together in a bar brawl. Then its mission time. And the mission against the Germans is a good WW2 set peice.(the films saving grace)
Not as good as most WW2 films...but fun.

slick sequel has Damian comming to terms with who he really is. Good acting and story make this an above average film.

One of those cases were the remake is better than the original. And you can thak Cronenberg for it!
Goldblum is perfect in this film.

Exellent film. Quirky and off beat. But hey, its Tim Burton telling the story of Ed Wood!! Martin Landau is brilliant in his role as the drug addled Lugosi. And Depp, as always, is brilliant as the odd ball director with a fetish for womans clothing!

under rated Burton film. Fun!

Iam a sucker for dumb teen comedies and sleazy horror.

Jacksons first film is incredibly funny and gross.

wow. what a fantastic concept. Unfortunatly it doesnt quite acheive what it sets out to be, Still fun none the less

one of my favortie Cronenberg films. Highly erotic and surreal.

Well made. Scary look at "kids" I think this film will stand the test of time.

one of the greatest haunted house films to ever grace the screen. Well crafted.

There have only been a handful of films that have turned my stomach the first time i saw them...Pier Paolo Pasolini's SALO, Men Behind the Sun, Cannibal Holocaust and what i saw of it William Friedkins Cruisin. All sick films. Well in A Glass Cage joins those ranks. And its possibly the most fucked up of them all. Its brutaly honest in its depiction of peodophiliac killers.
Klaus is a ex-nazi doctor who found sexual pleasure in killing young boys in a concentration camp. After the war he goes into exile in Spain. Continuing on with his crimes against little boys. Until he feels the guilt and shame of his acts. With an unsuccessful attempt at suicide, Klaus ends up "living" in an Iron Lung. Paralyzed and unable to breath on his own. Enter Angelo, a male nurse with a secret. He takes care of Klaus and relives Klaus's henious acts with the guidance of Klaus's secret diary. Forcing Klaus to watch.
This film is sooo fucked up. The last hour of In A Glass Cage is goddamn intense! And sick. And its not the blood or gore cause there little of it. Its the fucking content of this film! My stomach is still turning. It definatly makes me want to take a long hot shower and scrub every bit of filth off that is now residing in my brain with sandpaper. This is strong stuff folks! Fuck that Stephen King cluncker Apt Pupil...this is the real thing! Apt Pupil doesnt even come close to what this film delivers!
But beneath the sleazy exterior of this film lies a magnificent art film. Its a well crafted, beautifuly shot film. There is definatly a real pro behind this film. A true artist. Only those with a strong constitution should see this.

one of Pekinpahs weaker films. But still its Peckinpah.

Heres one of my guilty pleasures. I love Cooley High. Maybe its because it was the inspitatiopn for one of my favorite t.v. shows growing up...Whats Happening. But really its a well made film and its take on urban youth growing up in the 60s seems pretty damn acurate? But then how the fuck would i know...i was swimming around in my dads balls at that time!
Good performances all around and its great to see Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington as the doomed Cochise. Great little film. And funny too.

seriously...whats not to like about a Burt Reynolds prison film.

Hardcore is a modern day take on John Fords The Searchers. George C Scott plays a midwestern conservative bible thumper who's teenage daughter disappears while on a church retreat. Scott hires odd ball detective Peter Boyle to find out anything on his daughters disappearence. Boyle discovers that Scotts daughter is doing porn. Scott decideds to go deep undercover in the L.A porno ring to find his missing daughter and bring her back home.
Hardcore doesnt really accomplish what it intends to be. Its a rather flawed film. The subject matter is sleazy, but the delivery is uneven. Once Scott makes contact with his daughter, the whole reason for her running away seems rather stupid in the long scheme of things. And the acting in that scene is almost embarassing. Scotts performance is suprisingly forced. At times its almost unnatural. Although he nails it when ever the scene calls for him to be angry and violent. Boyle is the real attraction here as the sleazy private detective. He sinks his teeth into his role. The score is rather annoying to the point of distracting. It is, next to Punch Drunk Love's score, the most annoying score ever.
The last 15 minutes of Hardcore are possibly the best, as Scotts character looses it and goes on a rampage after learning the men who have his daughter also make snuff films. Fearing his daughter is gonna be the next star of one.
I guess i was expecting more from Paul Schrader, the man who's responsible for penning countless masterpeices including Taxi Driver.

A scary and amusing little film from Dante. Full of cameos from genre veterens. This will scare you out of freshwater like Jaws scared you out of the ocean! This is the best Jaws rip off! And it has held up better in the years than Jaws has.
Great scenes of Piranha nibbling on peoples fingers, toes, cheeks, nipples and asses! Brutal scenes. And no one is an exeption to the feeding frenzy. Little kids are on the dinner plate for the hungry little fish!
Classy little drive in film! Alot of fun! And scary.

I love this film. There is not one thing about it i can say i had a problem with. Its possibly my favorite film thats attached to Tarintino. Steller cast. Great story. Bronson Pinchot is sure to shake that Balky typcsting after the coke scene. The ending is intense and perfect. Great film refrences. Classic Tarintino story!

A great film! Almost a classic.

one of my all time favorite classic monster movies.

incredible little film here. Its got a message that was pretty much unnoticed during its initial run. It was so unnoticed that the film was band for exploitive reasons. This film couldnt be farther than that fact. Great story. Real freaks. And one hell of a creepy ending.

o.k. iam really afraid of the ocean. I mean cmon its full of monsters. So this film really struck a chord in me. It scared the shit out of me. Those two people in the film were human bobbers! Evertime a bite is taken out of one of them they go under and come back up. Human fuckin bobbers!

good documentary on the classic original. amusing anecdotes from cast members.

Solid retelling of Manhunter.

Better than Silence of the Lambs. But iam in the minority on that.
Julianne Moore improves upon the character Foster played. It almost reminded me af a giallo. almost.

Alot of fun. Each room was directed by a different director. My fav. room was with the Misbehaviors.

fun watching it all come together. Awsome direction.

Incredibly well paced Noir that has some of the best dialogue ever. Lots of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Barbera Stanwyck is awsome as the ultimate Famme Fatale. Who uses her beauty to get what she wants. Only suckers need apply! And McMurray, whom iam used to seeing in light fare, is brilliant with his snappy dialogue! I will now only see him as Walter Neff.
Well made and definatly at the top of my list. One of the best Noir's ive ever watched!

Nicholas Roeg makes a really beautiful film. The freindship between the Aborigine and the kids is touching. And become sad. I love this film.

exellent film from Burton.

A hip werewolf film that actually works...for the most part. Katherine Isabelle is freaking hot!! Tail and all. Cool story of a girl who is attacked by a werewolf when the wolf smells her menstration.
Fun film but the little sister started to get a little annoying after a while. And the make up effects got really horrible twards the end. The werewolf looked awfull. And the make up looked awfull late into her transformation. But i can look past that stuff because the film was alot of fun.

visually stylish. exellent cast of characters. lots of twists and turns.

Flawed but good.

As good as the first one.

underrated!

one of Speilbergs best.

This is actually a pretty faithful adaption of the Lovecraft story. Bride is nowere near as cool as the original, but still has enough surreal charm to make it stand out. Combs performance is maniacal. Yuzna lacks the visual eye that Staurt Gordon has but still makes a fun film.

Robocop2 is hated by alot of people, I think this is just as good as the original. I would of loved to of seen the original ultraviolent cut.

ultra violent comic book film. Verhoeven intelligently peppers this with intelligance.

classic! one of my all time fav. Troma films. Really really funny.

Possibly the greatest trash-comic book- horror film ever.
This is one of those guilty pleasures. Loads of fun! And it has that signature Troma soundtrack constantly running the whole time during the film. Great times i had with this film. Troma rules! And so does this film. Skip the sequels. It doesnt get better than the first one!

Exellent and odd detective film that has that Cosby kid with unshaven armpitts. yuck! But she was good in it as was Rourke. De Niro is absolutly amazing as the egg eating Louis Cyper. Awsome film and worth wathing more than once!

I love this film. especially the way it all goes down at the end. Tim Roth is great here too.

creepy as fuck! Clark does horror well!

Fun stuff.

Great remake. The only thing this film suffers from is bad blue screen. I would like to see it remade nowadays. But this one still is worth the watch.

one of Speilbergs best. Very intense. Weaver has to carry the entire film and does an incredible job at it.

Jackson makes a visually stunning film. But the problem lies in the gfact that he doesnt take the time to let the veiwer breath once the action starts.

classic! the best version there is!!!

good monster movie. The creature looks amazing. And Winston does a fine job on his first feature. Moody and scary at times.

exellent sci-fi classic.

The incredibly talented Lloyd Kaufman scores big again with Terror Firmer. God Bless Kaufman directed Troma films. This world needs his witty social commentary so desperatly bad!

Killer performances by a stellar cast. Great pot. And one hell of an ending. David Fincher is an ace director!

Perfectly done. The series comes to a fantastic end with Return of the King.

Peter Jackson makes Star Wars for the new millenium! Incredible locations, effects, acting and direction.

I still think there are underlying gay themes in the way the Hobbits interact. Boil em Mash em put em in a stew!

Hackman makes the film!

I hate action films with over the top action. But there something about this one i really liked. Emilio Esteves getting his head crushed...? Maybe. But When you have a master like De Palma behind the camera its gonna be good.

Seriously, this is a fun 80's action film.

fun entry in the die hard series. I think this is just as fun as the first.

surreal and scary.

its like Eastwoods swan song to his western carrer. Hackman is brilliant as the ruthless Sheriff. And Eastwood and Freeman are a fantastic team. Watching this film you feel like this is were the character Eastwood played in the dollars trilogy ended up.

The fantastic chemistry of the cast is pretty apparent. This is a great heist film!

First, i never even made it all the way through the first film. I fell asleep during it and never bother to rewatch it. What i did see was awfull. So i had really low expectations going into this one.
If you can turn your brain off for about 1 1/2 hr's you will find the Rise Of The Silver Surfer is a fun film. Of course the human drama is badly done. The dialogue is childish. The acting is horrible. And the guy playing Victor Von Doom is about as threatening as Jim Varney! But for some odd reason i really enjoyed this film!? It captured the cheesey fun of the comics for me. Although iam sure there are comic geeks who would disagree. But fuckem. I liked it. I think i might give the first one a second chance now.

Never having watched Oceans 12 i was worried i might not know what would be brought over from that film. Luckily, according to my girlfriend there wasnt much.
Oceans 13 is a total blast. I enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed Oceans 12. Pacino's character was fun to watch go down. He was a sleazy bastard.
The disguises were fun.....at one point Clooney had on what looked like a Freddy Mercury moustache. He looked like he would be a great candidate for Kraven The Hunter in Spidey 4!?!
Oceans 13 also boasts a great score. Iam gonna pick it up asap! Its possibly the best score for a new film ive heard in ages.

One of my favorite Cain films.

the best in the whole series. that creature they put into Checkovs ear used to scare the crap out of me.

Not bad. Its a fun film. But it doesnt hold a phaser to The Wrath of Kahn!

its like a really good episode of the t.v. series.

Exellent first "solo" film for the Next Generation. The Borg are always a good story. Call me crazy but Alice Krige is hot as the Borg Queen.

Upon second veiwing, i didnt think X3 was the peice of shit i originally thought! Thats not to say i think its a great film. But it is fun. I think alot of the characters were handle with out care. The ending still manages to piss me off. On the plus side..seeing Angel, Colossus and Beast was awsome.

Flawed but still a great film. It basically kick started the whole comic-film trend.

The best of the three. X2 kicks ass in every way possible.

Another political thriller from Frankenheimer. 7 Days is every bit as good and thrilling as the Manchurian Candidate.

very slow to get going. But all the same its a great character driven film.

This Disney film used to scare the crap out of me when i was a kid. The Black Hole is a underrated Sci-Fi adventure film.
