Bullshit About Movies [Cage Edition]

X

RIP Sgt. Michael Paranzino / RIP CM
So the old Bullshit About Movies thread kind of died when it was moved to the non-spam section. This saddens me greatly. So this is the new, improved, spam-friendly Cage edition of that beloved thread.

Watched the film Sheitan earlier TDigs, Cassel was awesome as usual but I wasn't overly impressed with the film outside of the ending. Some very creative filming techniques were used in the finale and I'm a sucker for the use of Snorricam. Cool flick, but nothing amazing. Good 3/5 from me.
 
Hmmm...what film should I watch tonight? Thinking horror but not sure. Here's what I'm looking at:

Cabin Fever 2
Creep
Captivity
Killer Pad
Dead Ringers
[Rec] 2
A Tale of Two Sisters
Frozen
Irreversible
Ju-On
The Devils
Let the Right One In
Piranha 3D
Possession
Shutter Island
The Girlfriend Experience
The House of the Devil
The Informers
Calvaire
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
Predators

Pretty much all horror films. Anyone? Most of these I haven't seen, a few I've seen before.
 
X, have you seen Survival of the Dead?

Y'know I haven't. I think I have it on one of my external hard drives though. I haven't seen it because everyone I've talked to and every review I've read has said it's one of the biggest steaming piles of shit that Romero has ever been involved in. And Romero made a movie about a killer monkey. That's saying something.
 
Gotta say for the most part it's pretty shit. I was so pumped to see it On Demand, and by the end of the movie I didn't know how to feel. I felt empty and confused. Give it a view soon when you have down time and get back to me about it.
 
Cabin Fever 2

Liked the first one. Can't imagine the 2nd would be much different from the first though - so until someone tells me its worth it, I'll pass.

Creep
Captivity
Killer Pad
Dead Ringers
A Tale of Two Sisters
Irreversible
Ju-On
The Devils
Possession
The House of the Devil
The Informers
Calvaire
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane

Have not seen any. Of them, only Captivity sounded worth watching. Oh, and if Ju-On is the foreign version of Grudge/Eye, then maybe that one too.


Amazing movie. So much better than the American-ized version. Well, REC 1 I mean. I watched REC 2 a few weeks back - it'd been DVR'd from months ago, when HDNet showed it. I loved it.


I have this one sitting on my stand, in front of me. I have yet to watch it, but was looking forward to trying sometime either tonight - or tomorrow after work.

Let the Right One In

Another reason why foreign films are amazing. I do want to see the American version as well though. I love the girl who plays in it. (Hit Girl FTW!)

Piranha 3D

You're Kidding, right?

Shutter Island
The Girlfriend Experience

I was unaware either are 'horror' movies. Shutter Island was better than I thought it would be - but it's suspense with NO horror involved. And TGE, to my knowledge, was about a pornstar playing the role of a 'call girl' (huge leap there) involved in a bad/abusive relationship. I want to see it; but never find the waste of time to sit and watch it.

Predators

New or old?

New sucks.
-----------

I suggest..

1. 28 Days/Weeks Later

2. Anything zombie related (Dawn of the Dead 2004, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead - followed by Survival of the Dead)

I want to see "Mutants" but every single copy seems to have been recalled, because they don't play on DVDs. And Netflix doesn't want to carry it on instant viewing.

3. Fourth Kind. Assuming you can allow yourself to forget its unrealistic-ness, the 'real footage' is chilling (to me, anyways).

I enjoyed it over Day of the Dead; which was the one I watched before it.

Once I realized Diary of the Dead was the movie that takes play before Survival of the Dead - I loved it even more. I'm often happy when I realize zombie movies have sequels.

The same guy in Survival of the Dead, that has a cameo in Diary of the Dead - ALSO plays a Soldier in Land of the Dead. But he dies in that one. I would've been even more in love had he lived in Land of the Dead, which set-up his role more in Diary; leading to Survival.

As a whole though - the film is pretty meh. I liked the deal with trying to get them to live like normal people though, and trying to get them to eat animals instead of humans. But the final deal with the feuding families was beyond stupid (and yet still slightly funny).

I've bolded the ones I have seen.

"All the boys love Mandy Lane", I believe I have seen anyway. Creep was a great movie. Shutter Island is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen, no lyin'.

If you are going to watch Let The Right One In, please tell me how it is.

As for me, I have watched a couple of good movies this week.

The Manchurian Candidate
Doubt
American Pie: The Book Of Love
Frost/Nixon
The Lord Of The Rings - The Complete Saga
Ali
Get Him To The Greek
Iron Man 1 And 2

Not all of them are winners although Get Him To The Greek was surprisingly brilliant.
 
Liked the first one. Can't imagine the 2nd would be much different from the first though - so until someone tells me its worth it, I'll pass.

Bloody-Disgusting gave it a good review and Rider Strong returns, so I'll definitely be watching it at some point. Judah Friedlander is in it as well and he was great in Feast.



Have not seen any. Of them, only Captivity sounded worth watching. Oh, and if Ju-On is the foreign version of Grudge/Eye, then maybe that one too.

Captivity looks like it's going to be one of the worst films ever, but that hasn't stopped me from watching a flick ever before. Ju-On is the original Japanese version of The Grudge, only unlike the remake it's actually a very creepy and well made film.

Amazing movie. So much better than the American-ized version. Well, REC 1 I mean. I watched REC 2 a few weeks back - it'd been DVR'd from months ago, when HDNet showed it. I loved it.

The original [REC] was one of my favorite horror films when it came out, loved it. I liked Quarantine as well. Been putting off watching REC 2 for awhile so maybe I'll watch it tonight.

Yeah read another great review on B-D about this film so I downloaded it, looks good.

Yeah I've seen the original, but it's been awhile. Remake looks meh, but B-D gave it like five stars so I'm like obligated to see it anyways.


You're Kidding, right?

Not at all. I saw bits and pieces of it earlier this year and fuckin' loved it. Looks like one of the funnest horror films to come out in years.

I said "most" of the titles were horror, not all of them. Shutter Island is another flick I've been putting off seeing for months and months but I'm not sure I'm up for a near 3 hour flick tonight.



New or old?

New sucks.

New. I owe it to Norcal to watch it at some point.

I've seen all of those way too many times, apart from The Fourth Kind which I think I actually might have on my DVR. Looks interesting.

Oh and Will, when you say you enjoyed SOTD more than Day, I hope you're referring to the Day of the Dead remake and not the original, right?
 
You know what movie came out on DVD yesterday and you should buy?

Hint: I'm not going to name it because then people will make comments about me always repeating myself and driving things into the ground.
 
WHO THE FUCK SAID PREDATORS SUCKS??

That movies was badass. You SICKEN me by not having seen it yet X, how long have I been nagging you? Since fuckin July, man?

saw "Due Date" the other day. Laughed twice. Im sure everyone will begin going on and on about it being the funniest movie of all time and a comedy classic sometime soon.

Cabin Fever was sick and funny. Pretty much like the first one. Piranha 3D was hilarious. Captivity was shit, I would stay far away from that trash.

Let me guess...Scott Pilgrim vs. A World of Mediocrity?

I know I just hate watching movies on my laptop and I've been broke as fuck for the last few months and can't afford blank DVDs to burn it on. Might just have to suck it up and watch it on the laptop anyways.

That Micheal Cera movie that was a massive box office failure?:p
 
Oh I also watched the UK miniseries Dead Set earlier today, not sure how many Americans are aware of it but they just played it in full on IFC last week and apparently are going to continue to do so. It's fucking AWESOME, basic concept is a bunch of people on the show Big Brother and it's eviction night, but outside the motherfucking zombie apocalypse goes down and shit goes to hell. Awesome little miniseries, great gore too for a television show. Ending was a bit meh though.
 
Completely unrelated note: All of you go buy Cee-Lo Green's new record. It's like earsex. Best fucking soul album I've heard since the 60s.
