Thanks to SYG I just watched Bully for the first time in several years. Great movie. Thurston's background guitar terrifyingly terrific.
Downloading Ken Park now. Never seen it. I thought Kids was OK. Kinda scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it (8th grade I think....). It also made me wanna go out + skate...damn, so long ago. Wassup Rockers was fantastic. I like Larry Clark, even if he does have a knack for young shirtless boys.

7/10. North Korean epic kaiju movie. Kim Jong-Il was a big fan of the director and had him kidnapped in order to make this movie !!!

Those of you sad, English and old enough to remember some of the covers in question may find this mildly amusing.

the last movie I saw was "Buffalo 66" (two days ago.) The film is directed by and starring Vincent Gallo, a great actor.

INVITATION TO HELL.
Nobody made TV movies like Craven. Gawd, I wish he'd start doing those again. It's like he makes them shitty on purpose. It's great. Susan Lucci, Punky Brewster, that guy from Murphy Brown. And it's basically a Stepford Wives rip. Don't get me wrong, TV-wise it's not at the awesome-level of say SUMMER OF FEAR, but it's still great Craven cheese. Maybe I should do one of those posts where I review every one of his films. I'm only missing a couple of super-hard to find ones like The Evolution Of Snuff (which I'm fuzzy on the level of his involvement), Casebusters (a Disney TV movie!!!) and um... there's another TV one I'm missing. Um. Chameleon Blue?

Buffalo 66 is alright but I think Brown Bunny is a masterpiece. He was really good in that one Coppola film.

Yeah, I have Shock Horror. Excellent book. I remember being totally excited by this cover at the time, even though I'd quickly learnt that a hand-painted cover almost always equated with italian dubbed piece of shit. (oh, the days when 1990 meant some unimaginable time in the future!) |

I love Buffalo 66. Vincent Gallo is excellent in Palookaville.
I rewatched this again the other day after about a year or so absence: Every bit as great as I remembered it. Even when knowing what would happen, I still found it to be very exciting and even unnerving at a couple of moments. The first time I saw it, I thought the beginning was kind of boring and I just couldn't wait to get to the truckdriving, but I found myself really enjoying the beginning this time around. Just sets up really well who's just blowing wind and who's the real deal. That's actually one of my favorite things about older movies, those kind of foreign cafe movies where some foreigner is hanging out in some strange night bar in Morocco or whatever with all of these cool shady characters like this, like Strange Cargo, like To Have and Have Not. I wish people would make those kind of movies again, they're great.

WES CRAVEN:
Last House On The Left - 9/10, brilliant. I don't need to tell anyone that. The Fireworks Woman - an XXX supposedly scripted by WC. He did work in the XXX industry early on, so it's possible. I've never seen this one. The synopsis I've read is a bit Flowers In The Atticy, which is funny cuz he had been planned to direct the movie originally but then bailed. Hills Have Eyes - 7/10, a fun one anyway. Summer Of Fear - 7/10, TV movie w Linda Blair, based on a Lois Duncan book I believe? Anyway, it's hilarious and awesome. Evolution Of Snuff - haven't seen it yet. Deadly Blessing - 6/10, Sharon Stone! anyway this one is so weird. It plays out one way then has a super awesome shock ending. Good flick. Swamp Thing - 5/10, good ideas, he tried, didn't QUITE pull it off. But good. Invitation To Hell - 6/10, as discussed in earlier post, hilarious Stepfords rip with Susan Lucci, Punky Brewster, Murphy Brown guy. Another TV movie. Nightmare On Elm Street - 10/10, duh. Chiller - 5/10, ridiculous TV movie. I don't know. It's ok. Hills Have Eyes Part II - 6/10, so so bad that it's hilarious. Seriously. Dirtbikes and dogs having flashbacks and just really stupid script. It's very funny. See it if you haven't. Nightmare On Elm Street 3 - 9/10, he wrote this one. you know it's awesome. Casebusters - a Disney TV movie I sadly cannot find. Deadly Friend - 8/10, I love this one. Kristy Swanson is a robot that blows up Ann Ramsey's head with a basketball. Do I really need to tell you anything else? Serpent And The Rainbow - 9/10, this movie is really really scary. Shocker - 7/10, I think he tried to start a new franchise. It didn't work. But the movie is wicked fun, and has an amazing sndtrk. Night Visions - a TV movie I can't find. People Under The Stairs - 8/10, awesome! I love this one! New Nightmare - 7/10, pretty good. It had a good idea, which he sort of carried over later to Scream 3, etc. And cool that he got the original cast together again. Not crazy about the look of Freddy in this one though. Vampire In Brooklyn - 5/10, I'm not a big fan of horror comedy. This was just ok. Scream - 10/10, seriously. Scream 2 - 7/10, not bad. It had good intentions and some good kills. Music Of The Heart - 6/10, actually a really nice story and great work by Streep. Scream 3 - 5/10, total letdown to "end" the trilogy. BUT there was good parts -- Jenny McCarthy I'm looking at you. Cursed - 8/10, I really love this one. More than most ppl. Red Eye - 7/10, a rather good thriller. I doubt you saw it. Pulse - 7/10, I like this one way more than most people. Hills Have Eyes II - he co-wrote the script. I like this more than the first "remake"... it explores the bomb-shelters and stuff in a cool way. My Soul To Take - makes me very excited. Scream 4 - makes me very very excited.

I haven't seen Saw V or VI yet. My favorites are I and IV (I think... IV is the one with Shawnee Smith having a big role, right?)
I'm not interested in The Crazies. The original is good enough.

I did not know there was an original crazies. Maybe ill findthat one. It just looks wierd and i like wierd even if the plot sucks.
I think saw VI was my favorite so far. I cant remember IV and V they all blend together its been so long since i saw the old ones

where the hell are you adam, I'm curious your take on the ones you've seen.
Craven is a favorite of mine becuz he's like perfected the art of being a mediocre horror director. It's amazing. It's like he manages to put big stars in bad movies. Haha. And like he tries to add cool-slang or technology that makes no sense. But in the end they're like these perfectly stereotypical movies. I love them.
