I enjoyed Kick ### too. Very entertaining and funny. Unlike you though, I enjoyed Nick Cages work in it (starting with his opening scene, I'll stop as i don't want to throw in spoilers) and then later in the movie when he was talking like (no spoiler) someone. Had me laughing alot. Good flick and definetly worth the time.
Don't bother with the 2nd one, but maybe try out the first. You might also knock that one down b/c it's vile an disgusting too, but thought it was a decent horror flick.
I concur.I just thought it was too toned down. Could have used an R rating. It was fun, but I guess I have just been looking for less humor and more scary from the horror movies lately, and have been disappointed because of it.jdoggydogg said:
Loved this movie. I think it's in between good and great.
Love this movie. Saw it in the theater when it was first released. I liked it so much, I watched The Bicycle Thief as a result.
Do not like this movie. I agree that Zombie "gets" horror movies. But as is the case with most modern horror films, Zombie is content to use gore and depravity in lieu of real suspense. Far too many horror movies confuse disgust with fear, and this movie is no exception.
He has an interesting eye, that's why I keep trying out his movies.jdoggydogg said:
Law Abiding Citizen.
Yep, I thought it was a pretty good movie. A bit of an impossible premise but it kept me thinking throughout the movie and had a fair share of action. I would definitely recommend a watch.
jamie foxx + gerard butler + 25% RT rating = worst movie of any night.good luck with that, guy.
Me too!Fantastic movie. In any other year, it should have won Best Picture. It wasn't even nominated, which is criminal, but tough to be disappointed when Unforgiven wins instead.jdoggydogg said:
I see Natural Born Killers as satire. I didn't feel amused watching The Devil's Rejects, I felt like bathing.
Oooooo. Sweet. This is already way up high in my queue
That movie looks like ####.
Sure. Although 1992 was a pretty decent year for movies:Reservoir Dogs
Good reality check jdogg. I would have nominated: Unforgiven, Reservoir Dogs, Malcolm X, Last of the Mohicans and The Player. (haven't seen Army of Darkness yet, sad to say) Some of the others were very good, but The Player is exceptional.
Sure. The Player is excellent. If you are a fan of horror / horror-comedy, you have to see Army of Darkness. Hilarious.
I was actually watching it home alone Sunday afternoon and followed through on the urge to pause it a couple times and clean some random portions of the house that Ms Hooter already keeps spotlessly clean.Agree with KP that it is in the same class as NBK, both great films.jdoggydogg said:
I agree with jdogg that NBK is more satire, but while I was watching Devil's Rejects I just felt it was more like that than a horror movie.
LOVE this movie (or at least, did when it came out). And LOOOOOOOVE Julie Delpy.
Wasn't aware of this. Guest and the cast make it look pretty promising. Agree that Short is genius. Queued up. Thanks for the rec!
i don't know that "the player" is important, per se. it's just a convergence of so really talented people. altman, the respected outsider, working with a great cast and script (buck henry is rumored to have punched up the script). it's a dream project for most of those involved and it's one of altman's better films. the opening crane shot is a tip of the cap to the crane shot in "touch of evil" and does it one better.
Yeah, but reason 1001 why Young Frankenstein is great is that it captured her at her absolute hottest moment in life. Like some kind of hotness time capsule. Also one of the reasons why I like Rocky Horror so much. Susan Sarandan has never nor will ever look that good again.
i like this movie a lot too. there is something to be said for time and place. a lot of the affection i have for this movie is tied to the recent - at the time anyway - backpacking around europe i did around the time this movie was released. it struck a chord for me. and delpy was pretty hot for what she is....
French?
Just watched Diva again recently- I dont' think any move has had a more profound effect on me (aesthetically more than anything else) than this one, but predominantly because I saw it in theaters when I was 13. still love the movie- but I can recognize the flaws more readily (the horrible, horrible acting by the opera singer, for one).
well,yes, but she just one in a long line of hot french actresses.
Probably at her hottest in Europa Europa (one of my favorite WW2 movies)... but also very young. Also looking good in Killing Zoe.I sat across from her in a restaurant a few years' back... very NOT hot in person.
I prefer Reservoir Dogs and Glengarry over the Player. But The Player is a very good movie.
This is all well said. I just think that Zombie can do better.
Hilarious movie.
she hasn't aged as well as i would have like, which is so unlike french actresses, but she was something for a time. "killing zoe" is a pretty good flick. i had such high hopes for roger avary...
IIRC, I saw her during a period when she still looked good on film- just didn't look so great on the day in person.gets me thinking- of all the celeb/hot-wimmens I've seen in person, who's the hottest.... I'll jump to Raquel Welch- and she was probably in her 60s- and Elle McPherson (dressed in skin-tight SuperGirl outfit for Halloween in the early 90s... :boner: ). and now I'm laughing rememering Otis' Sara Jessica Parker love phase...
she was my weakness for years. she's the only reason to watch a crap film like "sirens" and she's only in it for a few scenes...
Oh yeah... I saw that one too. Remember the big hubabaloo because she had to gain 30 pounds for it... and still looked like a skinny marink.btw- I can't begin to tell you how freaking amazing she looked that halloween. I got to meet her briefly that night and literally couldn't breath for a full minute or two afterwards.
This reminds me I need to get this again since when I got it last week the DVD was too scratched to watch it past 30 minutes
I agree with the criticism that the biggest laughs are early in the movie. Still, I liked it.This reminds me I need to get this again since when I got it last week the DVD was too scratched to watch it past 30 minutes
Yeah, when I first saw this a few years ago I think I watched it because nothing else was on. Was surprisingly, hell, alarmingly good I thought. Watched 1000 Corpses after it, didnt think it was near as good.hooter311 said:
When Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler make good choices on the movies theyre in, I almost always find them to be entertaining or better. While LAC wasnt great, its closer to the 7.2/10 on IMDB than the 25% on RT and was certainly worth watching
This film is a lot of fun for how cheaply it was produced.
