Yes, you should! It's considered by many the worst movie ever!

Just watched Saw 4. They really should stop these now unless they turn them into comedies - 'cos I did chuckle a bit at this one.

Predator 2 - it's not as good as the first one, but still enough fun to sit it out. What an incredible tough guy is that Danny Glover!

Had a bit of a marathon, did dinner out after movie 2 then resumed.
Triangle (Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, Jonnie To Directed) - Was confusing and extremely disjointed, last 30 minutes were enjoyable though
Flashpoint - Originally planned as a sequel to smash hit SPL. Donnie Yen as a cop who beats people up with Tekken moves.
Shrooms - I dunno about this one, won't spoil anything, but they twisted it in a way that was predictable, yet original at the same time. I liked it.
Someone Behind You - New Korean movie that is making waves for NOT being a long haired ghost flick. I liked it, my GF thought it was terrible.
Storm Warning - Not my kind of movie, but the gore was creative.
That was my uneventful New Years sitting at home watching movies on Display 2 (TV) with my girlfriend and eating entirely too much veggie dip

Lucio Fulci's Zombie - Great zombies and gore, the shark scene was awesome but the characters are dumb!! When a zombie appears they just wait to be eaten

Because of my hangover I had a "crap night". When having a hangover I don't really care if it's crap what I watch, so, here it goes:
Dragon Wars - it was stupid. Overloaded with CGI this movie did everything to make you feel like you were watching total crap. It looked like a crossover between "Crouching Tiger...", "Lord of the Rings" and "Godzilla". What is it with Asian people and huge monsters?
Bone Eater - this was also stupid. Extremely cliche characters (the bad guy only wants money and doesn't care about people, etc.), a tribe of Indians consisting of max. 7 people, a halfbreed sheriff who chooses the side of the natives (yawn) and of course the computerized skeleton monster. I loved it when it made a dead horse appear to ride it, but all the rest was forgettable.
Zombies Gone Wild - this was really, really terrible. I don't know what the intentions of the director were, but it looked like he wanted to make some sort of a horror "Revenge of the Nerds", with jokes that aren't funny, extremely corny lines and a bucketload of overacting. There's one good looking chick in this movie, but despite the fact that she's on the cover, you can only see her twice in a very short scene before she is zombified. All other scenes are way too long and most of them are totally irrelevant for the story. Continuity is absent: when the windows of the van get smashed in by some loony gas station employee, they are perfectly restored in the next scene. There's a guy playing 4 different roles (according to the endcredits, but I mistrust them, I think I saw him in even more different roles) on the level of an amateur standup comedian. The ending is something which makes you wanna jump out of your window (for those who live on the first floor - it makes you wanna jump off of your roof). I think they meant it as a joke, but it is totally wide of the mark.

I had intended to post like crazy on this, but haven't. Here's a boring-ly long post to prove I'm still alive. It's been a bit of a veg-fest in my house of late…
This week, I 'as been mostly watchin' (horror-wise, obviously):
Reanimator (1985): Great fun, and much more faithful to Lovecraft than I was expecting — which isn't saying that much, really. Still, great stuff. Got Bride Of… to watch too.
She (1965): I love Hammer Horror, and I love the way the recent DVDs tell you EVERYTHING that happens in the movie. The Devil Rides Out gives a blow-by-blow account of the best bits… Anyway, Ursula Andress and Petey Cush, how can you refuse?
Planet Terror (2007): One of my favourite movies of the year. Pisses all over Death Proof.
Shrooms (2007): Oh come on, how many times have we seen this 'twist'? Switchblade Romance I thought did the same thing only much, much better. Some of the mushie effects were good though.
Return To House On Haunted Hill (2007): Poo, but fun poo. Like the 13 Ghosts remake only less challenging.
Halloween (2007): Zob Rombie has disappointed me before, so I was skeptical of this from the start. Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 arseholes really, really bugged me with their shiteness, but this I quite liked. Dunno why, since I've never been a Mike Myers fan (except Wayne's World, dude!)...
Hellraisers 6-8: Oh, baby… I think there's a certain masochism involved in watching past Hellraiser 2, but that said, the last three entries in the franchise were helluva better than 4&5. Lance Henrikson meets a nasty end, again. (Someone mentioned Pumpkinhead earlier — not one of his career highlights, but the subject of a great Misfits tune…) Pinhead is great, no wonder the Ramones wrote so many songs about him.
Scariest thing I saw recently, however, was a documentary from the mid-1970s called In Search of Dracula, presented by Christo Lee. Not only did it make no sense (the bit with a bat hypnotising a guinea pig was particularly hilarious) but it had some brilliantly hammy bits from a porno-moustachioed Mr Lee.
That'll do for now…

Another crap night yesterday:
Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo - yeah, I know  but it's a movie which takes place in Amsterdam and I'm trying to see them all (this also means I will have to watch Ocean's Twelve  ) just to see how they depict the city. Well, according to this one all girls are hot and steamy for sex, all men are either gay, pimp or doped up. All tourists defecate on the streets (never seen that in my life) and spacecake makes you hallucinate. There was almost nothing in this film according to any truth.
Dark Star - actually a quite good movie about a spaceship blowing up planets across the galaxy. Great role for the computer! "Attention, attention, there has been a malfunction."
Days of Darkness - well, what shall I say? Cliche is the word that comes to mind. Also the director couldn't choose between aliens and zombies properly. One of the people in the compound leaves for supplies and then gets forgotten about. Nice. Not really supercrappy (better than Zombies Gone Wild, but then again, how hard is that?), but also very forgettable. Some gory effects are really gross, they will stick.

They (2002): The scares were ok but the movie was annoying. It was about creatures that kidnap children or mark them with a sign to kidnap them when they are older. Nobody knows why at the beginning and well it stays the same until the ending. Marked people are afraid of the dark and seem to pretty stupid, because they keep visiting dark places all alone. If the movie was only about scaring you it was ok. I can't think of anything else, because it was all the same until almost the very end.

@ Slayer: Dark Star rools! The weird beach ball monster is brilliant. Bits of it were directly lifted into Alien, which is Dan O'Bannon's doing… Deuce Bigalow serves you right — Ocean's 12 isn't worth watching for any amount of Dutchy stuff. You'd be as well off getting one of those coffee ads with George Clooney on and bring it with you to the Dampkring and talk to it while hitting yourself repeatedly with an ashtray. O12 is about that much fun.
Anyway, films:
Last night I took in I Am Legend and Disturbia.
If you leave aside the fact that the whole point of Matheson's novel is skipped over, Will Smith's movie is pretty good. He's definitely watchable, but the wampyres? Blegh, I have seen better…
Disturbia — Better than Transformers, but still a silly, poo film starring Shia LeBeouf(curtains). David Morse was good, but I was hoping for more action. Rear Window for the Vacant Stare Generation (whoever they might be…).
Saw Batman Vs Dracula recently too, cartoon brilliance. Even had the infamous 'Alucard' alias, which Bruce Wayne cunningly deciphers. I was surprised it took him as long as it did, since the Peter Stormare-voiced Count was only slightly less OTT than Martin Landau's deeply weird Man From U.N.C.L.E. appearance: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0641063/

@ smcmullin2001: there's a site about all movies situated in Amsterdam. They describe the movies and focus on how the movie depicts the city and the people. Most are like Deuce Bigalow, I can tell. Lots of stoners and hookers. The only movie which I can recall has something close related to the truth is Amsterdamned. But then again: that's a Dutch movie, so no need exaggerating what the majority already knows.
Yesterday I watched Jacobs' Ladder: not really a horror film, as I'm opposed to call everything which is about supernatural stuff horror. More of a mystery/thriller. I like the way they toss the storyline about, but (and maybe this is because I have seen many movies already) the outcome was pretty predictable. I liked it a lot, though, some nice touches (recurring happenings, etc).

Non-Horror, although theres a lot of blood about.
Rise of the Foot-Soldier
True story about the 'Essex Boys', starts off with football violence in the '70's with the ICF, goes onto bouncing in clubs then gets into drugs, where it all goes horribly wrong.
Real graphic british gangster film. Certainly a recommended download from me. Fucking superb film, you will not get bored watching this.
Code: | Rise of the Footsoldier follows the inexorable rise of Carlton Leach from one of the most feared generals of the football terraces to becoming a member of a notorious gang of criminals who rampaged their way through London and Essex in the late eighties and early nineties. It is three decades of his life following him from football hooliganism, through to his burgeoning career as a bouncer, his involvement in the criminal aspects of the early 'rave' scene and subsequently to his rise to power as one of the most feared and respected criminals in the country. |

Just watched The Fifth Element (again) - this time in glorious HD. Still one of my all time favourite movies. I made my lad watch it too and he was agape at how good it is.

From Beyond (1986): Nice and strange movie. I think it was about a device that stimulated your brain so that you can get in contact with the ether all around us which is believed to cover the souls of the dead people. When you come in contact with this ether your brain is altered in a way that you become mad. Well at least I think it was about this. Nice effects and good acting (especially Jeffrey Combs).
