http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2105044/ (VHS) - I thought it was really good , don't expect anything brilliant or original (its a found footage movie) but its a lot of fun - 8/10

Alpha City (1985) this is a really bizarre movie. It's a German film but the scenes were mostly recorded without dialog sound and mouthed in english and dubbed later in German and English. It's got the most awkward dub ever and I had to compress and EQ it to shit to make it enjoyable. This movie kind of reminds me of a dark gritty 80's Berlin version of "The Room". More B than a bee hive but good fun factor 7/10

I went to the Pirate Bay festival.

The problem with Prometheus is that it feigned intelligence but was just as dumb as your average teen slasher movie.

 

True ... actually, I didn't hate it. I just wanted to get all the stuff that bothered me out of my system. But you're right, it was pretty much a slasher movie, but didn't really deliver as such either.

 

spot on

The first story was 10/10 for me but the rest were steaming turds.

Is this from REC2? I've seen REC2 but I only remember it being terrible.

Yes.

 

I felt asleep like 4 times during REC2.

People need to stop unearthing all this found footage. Just leave it where it is

I hated it. The first one was wonderful (as wonderful as a zombie flick gets), but the second one was terrible... and the third one... omfg... don't get me started on REC3.

The Ruins

 

 

Normally don't go for films like this, but I oddly enjoyed it. Not sure why. The gratuitous amputation scene was pretty great though.

I watched 'The Man Who Wasn't There" the other night. it was pretty good.

 

spoilers!

 

Some of the stuff with the UFOs kinda confused me though. What was that all about? anyone know?

I'll review the segments individually (seems more fair)

 

Segment one ( the one with the three guys who wanted to do amateur porn) - The story was okay but it was so well executed that i'll forgive the stupidity of the story. Ending was intense - 9/10

 

Segment two (The couple on a road trip) - I thought this one was the worst segment, not interesting at all and the twist was so stupid - 4/10

 

Segment three (The one in the forest) - Great concept (slenderman?), the scenes with the killer were nicely done but it was poorly executed, the whole thing felt rushed. 7/10

 

Segment four (The Video chat) - this one was a wtf .. i loved it but wtf. 9/10

 

Segment five (the halloween party) - The best segment in my opinion, a great mix of suspense, horror and wtfness. 10/10

 

Overall rating - 7.8

Prince of Darkness 7/10

 

though the dialogue and bad acting often makes it come off as a parody of itself, it still has great music and an overall atmosphere of inescapable doom.

 

 

Some of Walter's lines insinuating homosexuality are downright hilarious: (Possible spoilers)

 

(speaking about breaking out in bruises because of nerves?!) Walter: "I used to break out when I was 12, doctor said it was homosexual panic"

 

Walter is trapped inside a small room with the two women standing guard outside, staring at him. Walter: "Normally I love being dominated by women"

 

The others hear him through the wall and he shouts out: "I'm in this closet!"

step 1: go back a few pages

step 2: watch the ones you've never heard of before

step 3: there you go!

yeah inception was really really bad

• lake mungo - messy script, lovely eye-candy though, 6 twin peaks/10
  
• battleship - there's no story, assploding cgi all the way (don't understand why/how the alien's weapons cgi was so unrealistic, facepalm/10
  
• 2046 - i watched this because roasty mentioned code 46 and i went to see this as a mistake, there's not much to it, bleh/10
  
• happiness - wow, twisted, don't want to spoil it/10
  
• la pianiste - i don't know why i like this shit but i do, i like this haneke guy/10
  
• bernie - cute/boring/10
  
• big trouble in little china 1080p - carpenter's ost, rayden from mortal kombat, chinatown, unpretentious coolness/10
  
• who framed roger rabbit - it doesn't age, close to perfect/10
  
• memento - 8/10
  
• memento chronological - 8/10
  
• matrix - i might love it, it might have been one of my favorites when it came out, but it's shitty in so many ways, the whole concept and graphics still deserve a strong 7/10
  
• the white ribbon - i'm weak at words when i like something, guess i'm afraid to sound too much like a fanboy/10
