The Wizard of Gore is a 2007 splatter/noir film directed by Jeremy Kasten. It stars Crispin Glover as Montag the Magnificent, Kip Pardue as Ed Bigelow, Bijou Phillips as Ed's girlfriend Maggie, and the Suicide Girls as Montag's victims. It was filmed in Los Angeles and director Kasten refers to it as "love letter" to Downtown LA. It is a remake of the 1970 Herschell Gordon Lewis classic.


...it was way better than I expected.

My first Antonioni. Beautiful film, I love the colours and the way they're used. And the soundtrack is just mindblowing, some kind of early Cluster-like industrial/electronic/noisy kind of music that does so much for the mood. Other than that, it didn't do much for me. I didn't really care about the story. Beautiful and well played, but not particularly interesting.

Best italian director ever hands down. My favourite Antonioni's 'first leg' movie is "L'eclisse". No story, of course, only Alain Delon and Monica Vitti who get lost. And then, no characters at all... "L'avventura" is mesmerizing and stunning too. You can watch Scorsese's essay about them in his film about italian movies.

Its fun, but overly long.

Really? I thought it deserved at least an 8. A bit preachy in parts (what exploitation film isn't?), but a good time is had by all...

And for the Lohan fans, she's naked in it...

[LifeDistortion]

Heard the Lohan nudity was a body double. What a cheat, not that she looks good anymore anyways. Plus she's already been naked, why didn't she do a topless scene at eighteen? When men actually wanted to see her naked. (2004)

no idea what yr going on about.

Surveillance was hilariously dumb. French Stewart as a badass? I mean, COME ON!... So, I kinda liked it.

 

Uh.. 5/10 I guess.

I'm a huge Bruce Bickford fan. PROMETHEUS' GARDEN is one of my favorite films of all time.

Watched it on a complete whim. Um, fine I suppose, strange pacing and alot of useless scenes. The characters have well, no character to speak of. The story is just kind of there and a little too dumb to really think too much about. The creature effects are pretty cool though. Pyramid Head looked pretty intimidating. But even as neat as those were, it seemed like too much of a gallery of them. As in 'ok, here's this monster, now here's this one, and then this one, and so on...'. I don't know how closely this movie resembles the games (I've only played a small portion of the fourth one), but the music sounds like it was probably lifted from the games. So sure, it's an ok one timer.

I think the Silent Hill games are some of the worst I've ever played. Cool music and great atmosphere, but the actual gameplay is TERRIBLE. You spend the game SLOWLY running around foggy-as-fuck towns and hitting people with clubs (in some of the games, the weapons break...?!), talking to people, and solving stupid puzzles, like "hmm.. there's a locked door and it has a horse head shape in it... perhaps if I go up a floor and hit a few people with my club, one of them will drop a HORSE HEAD DOOR KEY!"

I know a lot of people really enjoy the atmosphere/stories whatever, but I do find it odd that Killer7 -- one of the best games of the last-gen -- was ridiculed for its supposed "simplistic" (which it is, no denying that, but it's also FUN) gameplay, when Silent Hill is given the pass.

Anyway..

Honestly, it was one of the best things Rodriguez has done as far as I'm concerned. I just feel like he nailed it. Like all the good things he's done in the past were put together without any of the shit I don't like that he's done.

Please make Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again. And please include way more Lohan.

this was kinda good. not great....

how i rank the ultra-violent/b-grade movies this year:

Machete 6/10

Piranha 3D 9/10

Kick-Ass 10/10

Kick-Ass hit all the right notes, and had enough surprises plus Nic Cage being hilarious. Piranha was so over-the-top and had non-stop lulz.... Machete was slow in some parts, predictably preachy, though it did have some real funny parts, mostly from Segal and Lohan... De Niro's character was such a waste.... could've been so much more fun had with his and Don Johnson's characters... overall just not a home run like Kick-Ass and Piranha were.
