i think i have diabolique on my netflix list. if not, it will be in five minutes…
I saw Cannibal Holocaust a while back, my friends in college desperately tired to find that movie when they found out it was banned in America plus numerous other countries…They heard it was bloody as hell and weird, which it was…
Other then that, I really couldn’t take the movie seriously maybe because of the atmosphere, even started to fall asleep during part of it that weren’t screwed up, but what do most people take the movie for??
watched ‘the virgin spring’ a few days ago. amazing film. i’m going to watch it with the commentary track this weekend.
Thats a weak ass cannibal movie, go with “Make Them Die Slowly” aka Cannibal Ferox…girl gets hooked through the titties and hung, guys gets his schween hacked off then they eat it…I won’t ruin anymore.
Just picked up on DVD some 80s classic comedies:
Just One of the Guys
Amazon Women on the Moon
Hangin with the Homeboys…very underrated comedy IMO
Just watched Just Friends. Somebody on here recommended it, despite the chick flick vibe. Know what, it was actually really entertaining. Like, take your/a girl to go see the movie, you wont be disappointed. It was funny, but more like a “I’ll watch it on cable” funny. Made my lousy, lack of sleep morning.
Skimmed through Sahara. yup. garbage. I was right all along, but I’m trying my best to give things a shot. awful, awful movie.
The Warriors: YES!! Loved the way this one was done. greatness.
Requim for a Dream: really good. Done very nicely. But the ending was just out there, seeing as how drug users don’t get arrested for just being drug users. ESPECIALLY IN A HOSPITAL!! wtf?? A doctor just broke doctor confidentiality. that’s the real crime. The mom going legally insane from those diet pills? like uh…?? not very common.
What movies should I recommend to a friend who just became a fan of Christopher Walken?
I mentioned:
Kings of New York
Batman 2
The Prophecy
But damn…there are so many I forgot.
watcheed
Kidalthood = teens in london, “kids” style movie, drugs sex,vilence…blah blah blah.
The Island = I was watching Scaletts tits the whole movie.
Fanaa = ughh
I screen all my movies before I watch them with anybody else, so I just watched “Hostel” all the way through for the first time…
Talk about a movie you should absolutely NOT watch with a girl or your mom… How can anybody tolerate the amount of violence towards women this movie shows? It’s the most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen and I actually felt physically ill. I honestly considered turning off the TV during the sadistic torture scene with the first Asian girl. Good thing the camera cuts away to a metaphor of the violent act happening instead of showing the actual gore.
Anyway, I bought the DVD, but I have no intention on watching it again.
The women are stunningly beautiful during the first half of the movie, and the part where the camera pans down to the front desk girl’s ass was the best idea ever, but … ughh… how are you going to film so much violence, abuse, and the disturbing screams of pain from Asian women like that?
Ikana is handcuffed to a chair and gets a blow torch to the face by a sexually sadistic White man if anybody is wondering what scene I’m talking about that ruined the movie for me. Her screams are disturbingly realistic and I don’t want to listen to them anymore.
I do admit that the DVD is pretty cool and has a really awesome “making of” featurette, but the movie itself was too much for me to handle. It’s a shame because the first torture scene with the electric drill and scapel guy was absolutely genius. I haven’t felt so uncomfortable from watching a horror scene in a long time, but in a good way.
But yeah, what the fuck… watching torture happen to the women made me want to turn my TV off and throw this DVD away.
Not recommended. :tdown: :tdown:
ABSOLUTELY not recommended to be watched with one of your female friends. Even the girls that like scary horror movies (like Saw or Texas Chainsaw Massacre) will be turned off so bad, it’s counter productive to you inviting them over your house to watch a movie in the first place. If God forbid that they get the impression that you actually LIKE movies like this, good job… you’re a psychotic weirdo and you’re never going to hear from her again.
it was campy and completely lacking in a good story, it didn’t bother me one bit…you wanna see disturbing violence toward women, watch last house on the left or irreversible. i’ll never watch last house again, but i will admit that irreversible is intriguing enough to give another viewing, at least from an artistic point of view.
QFT
Last House on the Left is uncomfortable to watch…I Spit on Your Grave is pretty disturbing as well…especially the “bath tub scene” 
:wasted:
spit lost any sense of horror when you realise how stupid those guys were, especially the one who gets hgeld at gunpoint by the woman he raped, then goes home to take a bath with her…
Just picked up** IZO**. WTF? I had high hopes for it…but had to turn it off after 20 minutes or so. Reminds me of some artsy film school BS. Zebraman was better…should I give IZO another chance?
Traffic
Freddy Got Fingered
Four Brothers
I’ve watched three movies as of late. None of them were horror movies though, and I haven’t watched any of these “really disturbing” movies. Ergo, I can’t comment on the current discussion.
As for the movies I watched, they were Saved! (2004), After Life (1998 film from Japan), and… I guess that I only watched two since I haven’t finished watching Last Life in the Universe yet. Weird. It still feels as if I’m missing something else, but maybe because I’ve been thinking about all the data a lost in the Foreign Film thread’s destruction. …That and generally beuing more down than usual…stupid addictive Tori Amos cover of Depeche Mode.
…Anyway, After Life was rather weird. It was far less depressing than I thought it was going to be, though I still made it depressing like I thought it would. …I’m totally like Mr. Yamamoto…the shame, the infinite shame. Aside from that, the whole tangibility aspect it was annoying me… I just don’t understand where the Hell, no possible pun intended, this facility was, especially if they could apparently venture back to the world of living so easily to “scout” locations.
Still, the concept was interesting, and I wasn’t as disappointed in its execution as with Denied.
As for Saved!, I quite like it. Odd to see Mandy Moore play the “bitchy bad guy”, but she acted well. The ending seemed a bit rushed, at least in terms of reconcilation. Then again, I’m still not sure where I stand when it comes to “happy endings”, though Saved!'s ending wasn’t as really as “happy” as it was conclusive. Or, I suppose I should say, that the ending was something more realistic than a “happy” without resorting to the grim realism that I’m accustomed—unless, of course, you think she shouldn’t have the baby.
…Yeah, I have no idea where I was going with this…and I still feel like I’m missing something.
Dammit.
The Producers EDIT: I finally remembered what I had forgotten: I watched The Producers remake. I (surprisingly) liked it for most part–the word “surprisingly” is in parantheses because the more I think about it, the more I’m unsure how I feel about remakes recently, at least with all the decent ones coming out. Hell, I know that I’ve said that American remake of The Ring is superior to the Japanese version of Ringu, and I know of at least one remake that’s better than the original (that I might have mentioned on here, though it would have been quite a while ago, at least two years).
Anyway, it’s difficult to compare this newer version to the older version since the newer one is more a “remake” of the (new?) play that came out around the same time, which is why it had all those musical numbers in there. Meanwhile, the older version was more “bare bones” (obviously); I’m not aware how much of a negative connotation “bare bones” holds with you though.
I quite liked the older, Gene Wilder version–the amount of songs made me realize that maybe it was the lack of songs that made the “Springtime for Hitler” song in the older version all the funnier. Well, that and the fact that the audience was repulsed all the way through that song in the original. (I do have to commend the productions values for that song in the newer version though, especially with the lead Stormtrooper looking so sharply blue-eyed and blonde. I quite enjoyed all the other songs, so that made up for it.)
Other than that, I felt that it at times, at least when it came to the “Leo Bloom is fucking crazy” aspect of Leo Bloom, Matthew Broderick seemed like he was trying too hard to be Gene Wilder. Either that or Gene Wilder did that part better (or I remember Gene doing it first even). Still, I liked Broderick was able to make him look even wimper, but maybe that’s because Broderick looks so damned innocuous and cute for his own damned good–I finally realized that my college roommate looks a lot like him…it’s sort of creepy, actually.
Need help finding a movie title, a friend of mine asked me and I have no clue what movies shes talking about. Ok, takes place in the 1800’s. Circus owners steal a mermaid/siren from this castle for their show. When theres a full moon it turns into a monster and kills people by bringing them to this island. Only other info I have is that this creature spares a pregnant girl. Any help on this would be appreciated.
OMG I know this movie…I think it’s "She Creature"
It was part of a horror movie series on Showtime.
Edit: Yep…it’s She Creature
I think that “she monster” or something
Edit: smack forehead Already got the awnser I see…nevermind then
Ah thanks man, this gonna get me laid if I can find a copy by Saturday. :tup:
Steam Boy - Kind of simple compared to G.I.'s other stories, but great animation and enteraining throughout.
Last Samuari - Despite Tom Cruise now, it was reallllly good, but the ending could have been better in my opinion.
strangers with candy is supposed to be out today in limited release…but none of the san diego theaters are playing it right now…
