deadhymn: have you seen City of God yet? When people would describe it to me they'd call it a Goodfellas in Rio. Great movie, I reccmmend you see it.

Also you suck. ^_^

The Grudge

I didn't understand this one a whole lot. Why was the zombie girl constantly burping? That's what kept registering in my mind as that noise became an auditory motif throughout the film.

I guess I never really got a good look at Sarah Michelle Gellar in the past. Holy shit does that woman have one of the most noticable over-bites in the world. And that woman's beak... oy. They should have used a few camera tricks to decrease the depth of field on Gellar's mug. Probably would have complimented her a bit more, asthetically.

Alot of the visual elements felt ripped off from films such as The Ring (most noticably the security camera footage). Storyline was fragmented in the presentation. I had such a hard time staying in sync with what was happening that I sorta took a breif nap. This is probably blasphemy to some, I know, but I just didn't quite connect with this one.

'the forgotten' tonight. ok. didn't live up to my expectations - but i sure did like it when people got sucked into the sky.

alkilyu - that avatar is deliciously violent. yum.

I don't know if you watched the special features but apparently they attempted to "Americanize" the story a little when they remade it from Ju-on. Unfortunately, if you're not very familiar with Japanese culture, mythology and spirituality, some of the stuff can get lost. I know had it not been for what I've absorbed via osmosis from Sam, I wouldn't have gotten it too well, either.

As for the noise? I guess it was supposed to make the ghost seem creepier. I did like that there was very little CG involved. The woman who played the "ghost" did a marvelous job with just her own body contortions and expressions.

Probably the reason if felt "ripped-off" is because the stories were written and directed by the same guy (at least the Japanese versions Ju-on and Ringu were).

As far as following it goes...I agree it wasn't easy. Mainly because the story wasn't linear. I wouldn't have been able to follow it at all, had I not watched the special features, first .

All-in-all, I liked the movie. But I can see why it didn't go over too well at the box-office.

:shock: DAYM! It did better than I'd thought. I just figured it wasn't doing so well because it didn't -stay- in theatres for long.

Okay...it didn't stay long around -here-.

Saw.

if you haven't seen it, see it.

if you've seen it, you know why.

secretboy · 02-19-2005, 10:05 AM

Saw Aliens vs. Predator last night. Not terrible. Writer/director should be shot for the last five seconds, though. Fucking shot and then brought back to health and then shot again.

Fucker.

Can't wait for Alien vs. Predator vs. Gremlins though.

WolfMoon · 02-19-2005, 07:17 PM

That would be worth seeing!

Flash!

What?I was bored, plus the soundtrack's by Queen!

Shut up!

pitseleh · 02-20-2005, 07:04 AM

Comandante, Oliver Stone's documentary on Fidel Castro. Great film where the conversation between Oliver and Fidel really sheds light on many aspects of this great and fascinating man and the political struggles he was involved in. Inspirational.

Queen being the saving grace, there! :lol:

Actually, there are some bad movies out there that I love, simpley because they're bad and it makes them funny as all hell.

Big Bad Mama? Plan 9 From Outer Space?

Of course, I like certain cheesy movies too! Like Jackie Chan movies. I love Jackie Chan!

Last movie I saw? Don Juan DeMarco. I like Johnny Depp, too.

electrafang · 02-20-2005, 12:18 PM

Watched M. Night Shymalan's The Village.

Not bad quite twisted but then again I worked the bloody thing out before the end - happens every time. that's the problem with having a writers brain.

:twisted:
