Resident Evil: Afterlife - 6/10

[pieceofme]

Little Miss Sunshine - 9 (it would be an 8 but it gets an extra point as it was the first movie I watched with the girlfriend. Yeah I'm sentimentally like that)

Rumble Fish 1983

Holy shit! I've never heard of this before. Popped up on Netflix after I watched Alphabet City. It's got Mickey Rourke, Chris penn, Matt Dillon, and a Nicholas Cage so young I couldn't even pick him out. He must've been shorter.

This is a really good movie. so good I'm really suprised I've never heard of it.

Basically you've got Matt Dillon as a street punk who gets in rumbles because there's really nothing else to do in town, and his older brother (Rourke), a motorcycle rebel who everyone idolizes as some sort of bad boy hero. It's not so much an action 80s movie as it is a really compelling drama about family, idolatry, and astounding audio. the sound alone in this film could keep me entranced.

Oh, and the cinematography is fucking mint.

Man, I loved all the S.E. Hinton books back then. Seen and read them all: Outisiders, Tex, That Was Then, This is Now, and Rumble Fish.

THE DEAD - 9 outta 10

Slow moving, shambling zombies in war torn Africa. Total old school Romero and Zombie (Fulci's classic)...only a lot more coherent and well done than the latter. Pretty much non-stop zombie action. Great, brutal and gruesome effects too. This movie kicks mucho ass.


Synopsis:

"When the last evacuation flight out of war-torn Africa crashes off the coast, American Air Force Engineer Lieutenant Brian Murphy (ROB FREEMAN) emerges as the sole survivor in a land where the dead are returning to life and attacking the living.

On the run in a hostile and inhospitable parched landscape, where sudden death lurks around every sun-burnished corner, Murphy has to use his wits and ingenuity if he is to get home alive to his family.

When Murphys path clashes with that of Sergeant Daniel Dembele (PRINCE DAVID OSEI), whose village has been torn apart by the reanimated dead, they join forces.

The two desperate men from two very different cultures fight side by side to survive across the incredible vistas of Africa as the world succumbs to the deadliest of viruses.

In the first zombie road movie set against the spectacular vistas of Africa, the Dark Continent becomes a dead zone. A stunningly shot horror fantasy announcing the arrival of the Ford Brothers on the global genre scene, THE DEAD is as much an emotional journey through terror terrain as it is a physically demanding and beautiful-looking one. Shot in life-threatening, never-before-seen locations in Burkina Faso, French-speaking West Africa, and Ghana, including the Sahara Desert, on 35mm film by the award-winning Ford Brothers, THE DEAD is one of the most unique zombie movies of all time."

Chronicle - 7.5/10

Not a perfect movie by any means, but a very enjoyable one. Great flight/fight sequences. Who hasn't wanted to drop a car off the Space Needle at one time or another?

THE DEAD - 9 outta 10

Thanks. Saw this in Best Buy and wondered if it was any good. I'll pick it up.

Amytiville Horror (1979) -6.5 /10. This one didn't hold up as well as I remembered as a kid.

None of 'em ever do, but damn that movie scared me as a kid. The theme music haunted my dreams and I didn't go near the garage entry to the crawlspace once I watched that movie. I thought for sure the crawl space door was "the gateway to hell."

[Fletch]

The Cramps, Live at the Napa State Mental Hospital (1978) - video quality is about a 4, but content/music (and the idea) gets an 8/10.

good movie.
kate beckinsale is just the bomb.

[MurrayFiend]

Akira- 7/10

Visually impressive (it was made a year before I was born! Jesus), but it felt kinda rushed IMO. Some interesting ideas, for sure.

Diner- 6/10

Read an excellent article about it in Vanity Fair, so I thought I'd check it out. I appreciate its influence, but it's far from spectacular. Paul Reiser was killing it, his riffing was reminiscent of the kinda shit Tarantino sometimes tries to write. LOL at the one scene where they blatantly left in Guttenberg's flubbed attempt at improv.

Immortals (2011): 3/10

A disjointed, poorly-acted pile of crap. Avoid this film.

A Thousand Word comes in at a whopping 0% on rotten tomatoes.

48 hours-7.5/10

good movie i can watch over and over.
loved eddie's older movies.
hard to believe that movie is already 30 years old.

Akira- 7/10

Visually impressive (it was made a year before I was born! Jesus), but it felt kinda rushed IMO. Some interesting ideas, for sure.

Rushed? That movie was long as fuck. Wasn't it like 2 or 2.5 hours? Great movie for it's time though.

Fright Night pt. 2. 7/10. Decent vampire movie from about the same time. (you know, before all that shit was trendy.)

It was around 2 hours, yeah. Just felt like the plot could've been better fleshed out if it was, like, a six-part miniseries or something.

Essential Killing - Vincent Gallo running about in a forest doing and saying very little.

2/10





Megan is Missing - Two girls are kidnapped, raped and murdered by someone they met online. Virtually no story with piss poor acting.

1/10

Oldboy - 6/10

[johnk5150]

Contagion. I can't believe it was a hit. Only Soderbergh can take a subject matter like a planet killing virus and make it boring and about feelings.

[Kristi Vanian]

Butterfield 8- 7/10. Starring Elizabeth Taylor.


The ending sucked. She destroyed a really snazzy car.

21 Jump Street - 9/10. Pretty damn funny.
