My girlfriend's mom rented some movies...

Tropic Thunder: 7/10
Much better than I thought it'd be!

House Bunny: 2/10

I think that "Wall-E" is Pixar's best film to date. And they have a great track record.

Fucking finally! I'm a huge Craven fan & collector. The ending on this one was nuts.

That poster is kind of hot.

word.

ooooh,lovely movie.

Tropic Thunder 4/10

It's clever. Robert Downey Jr's good. I hate most of the actors in it but it was so well-made and the movie parodies were great. It's probably the best thing any of those actors (Ben Stiller, Jack Black) will ever do. Not to mention that the little kid in it was amazing. I dunno. Held my interest just fine and it wasn't nearly as annoying as I would've thought. I consider that an achievement in its own right.

Anyway, finally got this on DVD after wearing the VHS out for the past 9 years..


MANIAC - 10/10

i recently DLed maniac, i have yet to watch it

It's probably my all time favorite "horror' movie. It mixes the gritty atmosphere of stuff like Taxi Driver and Bad Lieutenant with ultraviolence. It's great....

Ah yes, Maniac is just phenomenal. Totally worthy of the 10/10 you just gave it. I haven't watched it in years. Definitely one to dust off for a winter night's viewing. If Swans were a slasher movie, they'd be Maniac.

Now, from the sublime to the silly - or is it.

I watched the fifth Harry Potter film last night, after going through all of them one at a time. I've not read the books so I can't compare them and not all of the films are great (I hated the third one) but my God do I feel utterly entertained. And I even managed a few tears (at the end of the second and fifth ones.) I feel twelve.

Slumber Party Massacre II.



I have this one on VHS, but have yet to give it a watch. Something tells me I should check it out soon.

That's pretty much how I feel about them. I can't help but enjoy the ride.

Yes, I love all 3 Slumber Party Massacres.

You're a big fan of The Burning too, I just know it.

white heat
what an amazing film!

THE BURNING - RAFT SCENE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra7iJna4MxU

Simply outstanding.

^yes it is. A truly standout scene for the entire slasher genre.

You have great taste. My wife and I are huge fans of the entire Slumber Party/Sorority House Massacre (and all its offshoots) series.

The Burning is what I'd consider a perfect film.

The raft scene has to be one of the all time best scenes ever, agreed.

I agree, but saying that nothing quite reaches the magnificence of this.

my friend gave me her password to rapidshare. downloading movies just became a lot easier

I seriously think sometimes you have supernatural powers! THAT IS EXACTLY THE SCENE I WAS THINKNG OF MYSELF FROM ONE MY FAVOURITE MOVIES EVER!!!!

If you send me a PM with the username and password, I'll make love to you.

"Let The Right One In"
Saw it last night at the cheap theater by our house. Loved it! One of the most unusual takes on a vampire story I've seen.

VIBRATOR looks awesome, I've had that on my queue for a while. I think the same person directed I AM AN S&M WRITER...

 

Hadn't seen it in years, but my wife had Never seen it. Fun stuff.

It's pretty good,i read the book sometime ago,somehow i think the book came across abit bleaker,but this is worthy of a watch.

Glory to the Filmmaker - 7/10

Glad I finally saw this. It was hilarious, though not as good as Takeshis'. Why the fuck aren't those available in America? I know they have a limited audience but if shit like SNOT ROCKET AND SUPER DETECTIVE is released here............. anyway, great film.

didnt blow my mind, but didn't insult my intelligence either. beautifully shot in technicolor. the score/soundtrack was annoying but easy to ignore-- you know hollywood telling you how to feel at every moment. great at reflecting moral uncertainty and ambiguity without sinking into relativism. a good movie, though a bit leaden.

Those movies were part of a package deal to get something else. Sometimes movies are released here in order to get the opportunity to release something else.

explain

We wanted to release movie "A" - the licensor said sure, but if you want it you'll have to release Movies "V", "W", and "X" as well. So we think that the money that movie "A" will earn will offset the money we'll lose on the other three so we buy all four movies. got it?

oooh. Thanks.

Ohhhh... word. That's interesting.

The same thing happens here, although officially it's illegal. When Phantom Menace was released theatres were informed that if they wanted a print they'd have to agree to screen a whole raft of filler too. None of the theatres had to agree to this (thus avoiding the legal issue) but were informed that if they wanted to be guaranteed a print of Phantom Menace (which of course they did) they'd be 'strongly advised' to abide by the deal. I can't remember what the films were that made up the package but I do recall a lot of very lacklustre films playing to empty auditoriums for a good few months.

haha. If I were forced to choose, I'd probably go into any one of those empty audiotoriums than sit thur Phantom Menace. (that's right. I went there)
