"Titanic."
Went to a friend's house and watched it. It was boring the first time I saw it and my opinions haven't changed. The ship takes 2 hours to sink then suddenly it's under and it's all over.
A tragic and fascinating story and this was the best movie the producers could come up with.

Ice Age 2. Funny as hell.
That phrase makes me think...
Who ever thought hell would be funny?

Heavy Metal: Louder than Life (2006)
This is a documentry about the growth and sucess of heavy metal through the ages, and what makes it so special to millions of fans worldwide. There have been quite a few documentaries on this subject, but I think this is one of the best.
What makes this documentary different is that it goes into a lot more detail and depth than some of the other documentaries that I have seen, and has interviews with some of the most influential and important artists in the genre (too many to list).
I thought it was really good, and I reccomend it to anyone who loves their Metal.
For more info...

Stick It.
I took my sister to see it and just got home. It wasn't that bad. Not exactly the deepest movie but pretty much what I expected. Typical teen feel-good movie.

Room 6. Nothing spectacular, but still worth a rental.

"Dark City"
I find this very "Orwellian" and enjoy it most on that basis alone (reading 1984 in high school was probably one of the most "life-influencing books" I've read).
Anyway, without giving the whole film away (I hate ruining films for other people)... I'm going to post a very brief "synopsis".
John Murdoch awakes at the beginning to find himself in a hotel room bathtub, having once again "commited a murder" in a string of serial killings.
Starting with a call from the doctor, who we will find out is behind the amnesia that makes it possible for John Murdoch to be "framed" as a serial killer, he spends the movie discovering why this monstrous effort to ruin him is being made and who are The Strangers???

I heard a lot of the test audiences (that are used to gauge how people will react to the film) actually burst out in laughter at some points during the screening.
I suppose I will see it at some time, but after having read the book, I'm afraid the movie is probably as boringly dull.

How could you not laugh? Forest Gump was the main character!
The last movie I saw was (hehe - was is saw backwards. Small-things-small-minds...) The Break Up.
It was predictable but there were a few funny parts, mostly at the beginning. Towards the end it got very dull and the whole thing didn't actually seem to go anywhere. It was like they were doing this tit for tat while standing still. Supposedly 4 weeks passed while it was happening but it seemed like 3 days.

Pet Semetary * (1989, Directed by Mary Lambert)
The Creeds have just moved to a new house in the countryside. Their house is perfect, except for two things: the semi-trailers that roar past on the narrow road, and the mysterious cemetary in the woods behind the house. The Creed's neighbours are reluctant to talk about the cemetary, and for good reason too. IMDB
Watched this film last night and it was really good !!!.

The hills have eyes.
Was a damn shitty movie. A lot of people were telling me how scary it was. I think disney movies scare these people too.

Full metal jacket. One of the most fucked up war movies I've ever seen, and I've been forced to see a few. It was interesting, but it constantly showed a sickening side of humanity that I'd prefer to avoid.

Last movie I watched was 'Zombie'. It's easily one of my favorites.

Oh dear, and this is supposed to be a literary site. The Marquis de Sade died in his sleep after a brief illness on 2nd December 1814 at the age of 74.

The last movie I watched was "The Cave" on DVD. I found it to be somewhat formulaic, and derivative of the Aliens series. But suppose I can't complain overmuch as I didn't pay to hire it.
Just out of interest - when you're at a video store, and you read the blurb on the back of a prospective title and it makes reference to how said title combines elements of 'movie x' and 'movie y'; do you generally put it back on the shelves and continue looking?
I tend to, as in my opinion the movies which 'inspired' such a title are probably superior to that which is derived from them.

Just watched Ultraviolet...
I thought it was awesome. Great imagery, costume-age, and Milla Zovavich. The director is the same that did "Equilibrium" (another excellent film).

I watched An American Werewolf in London
It was cool... I learned why the werewolves in Underworld were called "Likens," too. It comes from what I'm guessing is old english... Likenfroeb. Mhm. Sounds like old english, anyhow.

Great movie. The best part is the gradual decay of his dead friend who talks to him throughout the movie.

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935, Directed by James Whale)
Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive, not killed as previously believed. Dr. Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr. Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr. Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster.
This film is my absolute favourite of the `Universal Monster` series, it is so beautifully made.
Excellent !!!.
