Looks interesting, but damn... mediocre CGi is BAD CGi.

big game - 4/10 - really stupid, some pretty shots and action scenes but slj is really lazy and uncharismatic in this one. and i don't like that thing of defying hollywood expectations on every turn that this movie has got going, it becomes predictable and banal in its own way.

The twins of evil.

Very enjoyable 1971 hammer horror flick.

One of the twins (played by fit playboy models) gets lured in by the local vampire and turns immortal, starts lusting after the local school teacher's husband.

Fun / 10

interesting...

Alyce Kills - A by the numbers American indie horror jawn. It's got some neat gore effects going for it, but totally unremarkable otherwise.

Anyone seen Human Centipede 3 yet? Didn't realise it was even released yet, but apparently it is. Looks lolworthy and very wrong.

(From a recommendation in this thread)

Cruel & Unusual [2014]

Quiet quites out of good.

I saw this film when it came out, and I just saw it again yesterday. ...I can't believe it's been 25 years since I saw this! Da fuk. Anyway, besides some dialogue and other off timing parts, the film is really quite good, especially artistically. It's much more adult than I remember, but also much more playful than I remember. There's a lot of great/meaningful dialogue bits that I totally didn't catch when I was 8 or whatever. For some reason I teared up a couple times, because I guess I was on my period. It's weird cuz this film is just "pretty good", but it's aaalmost a masterpiece. How the hell can a film be so close to great, yet so far at the same time? Dick Tracy is how.

Pretty good story, great makeup, greeeat art direction.

8.68/10

It's a very different movie from the second and first one. A lot more dark/shock humor, relies heavilly on political/moral issues for shock value instead of the pure body horror/gore of the first ones. A bit boring at times imo. I liked the second movie a lot more.

blind (www.imdb.com/title/tt2616810/) - that was really great. it's somewhat of a mix of "stranger than fiction" and "synecdoche, new york", but much more intimate and warmer. it may feel a tad gimmicky at times but it's got very good intentions at heart and this device is used with great purpose. in general it feels like a film that your good friend would make, it's just very current and very perceptive. so yeah, it's really one of those where you just sit and watch the very end of the credits, processing what you've just seen.

btw, it's a debut film of the screenwriter who wrote "oslo, august 31" which is also very much worth viewing.

you people are sick.

5 for £30 on Blu-rays in HMV. Managed to cop Kill List, The Place Beyond the Pines, Leon, The Wolf of Wall Street, Sin City 2 and one extra, The Spirit. I hadn't seen any of these flicks prior to purchasing, but ended up loving 'em all except The Spirit. Not even the heart-wrenchingly beautiful Scarlett Johansson could save that one from being a borefest.

Equalizer - 5/10 craptastic

Calvary - 8/10

^ innit?

check out The Guard too, same filmmaker, Gleeson in it as well.

Creep (2014) played like a homo-erotic version of Stephen King's Misery which is where it takes it's cues from. The only female in the film is a voice, which gives the film a mano-y-mano thing.

Watched Il Conformista for the second time yesterday. Beautiful film, visually speaking it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen, reminded me of Alphaville quite a bit at times.

I was really disappointed by this one, the characters in it are ridiculous and undermine everything else. I know Ireland is a bit gimp but fucking hell, what was up with that greasy Chicago bloke?
