The Savages, movie review- BONUS The Exorcist

The Savages

It was good. I watched it and did not want to fall asleep. This is what I would call a liberal "break through in film". You know because they always make the "masterpiece" movies. It is like most of the award winning semi plot movies. It is basicaly a story about the Savages. The fathers common law girlfriend dies and the kids have to deal with what to do with dad. When it comes to the mindset of most of the movie that these people have it is lifes not fair or I want more or I need money so I get it from the government and I want to be a writer or I want a relationship that hurts others and it is ok. Typical lib junk. For real it is so lib filled. What ever, you will like it enough to watch. The actors are great and the fathers name is MICHAEL SAVAGE and he is crazy. Thats not the whole name but its in there. It is funny and simple but still has a good amout of issues going on to keep it fresh. It is not my typical freaky crazy movie but it was worth the watch, check it if you think it sounds good.

The Exorcist

The bomb. This is one of the best movies. It is feaky as hell. It is about somebody needing a exorcism. Imagine that. Most of you know the deal with this one. They did come out with a new version and it is not as good. If you want the good version, get the origional and watch the making and deleted scenes. It is way more effective than the new version. Anyway it is a gem and the best horror film of all times. There are other good ones but this hands down takes the cake. Because the cake is a lie.

Right At Your Back Door movie review- BONUS The Passion of the Christ

Right at Your Door

Not sure what the deal is with this movie. It got really bad ratings for the most part but I did not think it was bad. It is basicly a chemical attack by a terrorits and how it is dealt with by a couple and the authorities. I felt that is was pretty exciting overall and a bit creepy on the part of the government. I would definitly check this one out. There really is not much else to tell you, I think it is very underated for sure. I felt it was good and I would watch it again. It will make you wonder what would you do in this situation. I would give it a straight B.

The Passion of the Christ (Widescreen Edition)

So this is one of the best movies. I was not a Christian when I went to see this movie. It did lead me to become one. This is such a strong movie. It is super brutal at parts and ultra humble at parts. It is also creepy at parts and hardcore at parts. It is very sad at parts and very inspirational as well. It for me made me think that there is a way to live life the way it is designed to. There were so many times when I was watching this and thought that makes perfect sense, life is so simple and there are answers. If you hate Christians I dont know what to tell you but if you are you will like it. If you are not and are not sure what to think this is just a killer movie and you might get something special from it. Hey it is historical, and it could just give you the greatest gift you could ever dream of. I decided I needed to read the Bible after seeing this movie and I cant tell you how great of a decision that was. One of my favorite movies, even among all the disturbing hellish movies I watch.

Orphanage movie review- BONUS PI

The Orphanage

Very please with this one. It is a ghost story that is pretty creepy. The story is not a typical one but check it out. It is about a girl that grew up in a orphanage and ends up getting married and adopting a son herself. The family also buys the old orphanage and turn it into their home. The boy has a few issues, like invisible friends, and this evolves and some things are reveiled to him that the parents have not explained to him, about him. So anyway the story gets deep and is really good. If you have seen Pans Labyrinth this movie is just as well done as that, and is just a great movie. I am going to pick this one up today.

Pi

Mind bending movie. A lot of people dis this movie, not sure why. Maybe because it doesnt have a hot chick in it. It is a pretty deep movie that centers around PI. It goes into the underlying hidden meaning to it. It is a hard to follow movie that really makes you think a about the concept. It is like the movie 23 in a way but much much better. It is in black and white and you can get it in a double pack with Requiem for a Dream, which is a real movie also.

buy them both for $8.98 plus $2.98 shipping. Maybe less locally.

PS I watched Cloverfield again and enjoyed it for the second time. I dont know POOL, I still dig it. Maybe it is because there is a hot chick in it.

The Mist movie review- BONUS Audition

The Mist

Let me just get to the point. This movie is terrible. It plays like a made for tv movie, and probally is what the intentions are for this. One thing that pisses me off is that they bash the military and bash Christianity. All the actors are basicly extras, no big deal but it shows. The crazy "Christian" is soooo cheesy. So is everybody else that follows her. This movie is so corny. The good is the irony at one point, if you see it you will know what I am talking about. It gave it a little something you dont always get. The mist has some ok aspects to it and I would say it is only ok. Dont want to tell you if you are going to watch it. The characters are so overly exagerated it is annoying and if they are not they are horrible extras. I really disliked this movie and was dissapointed big time. I was expecting it to be good, or good enough.

Audition (Uncut Special Edition)

Great movie. This movie is great especially if you are a emo feminist. If you are in love with sick minded stuff this is a definite. The movie takes a little time to build itself up and that is worth it. When things start to happen it get real creepy and real sick. I just really like a movie that makes you think some people are insanely sick. This is it. It is a crazy movie and starts nice and sweet and then starts to frak you out. It does a great job of that.

Cloverfield movie review- BONUS Oldboy

Cloverfield

I was surprised about how much I liked this movie. I will tell you what I like then dislike. I really love the fact that the visuals are creepy. Some may not think so but I think the scariest thing ever would be to be under water and see a huge And I mean huge something swim past me then disappear. Not knowing what it is and not seeing it fully and knowing it is gigantic. That would freak me out. So this was pretty close to that. I dont want to tell you much about what is causing all of the destruction but it works well. Another cool thing about the movie is that it is viewed through a video camera. So it plays out pretty well you have people using their video camera and then something happens and they catch their dealings on the tape. So it is a simple concept and that usually works great. NOW the things I dislike. The part that I dislike are what you may get in a typical hollywood flick, like this is. They have to add some other drama and this plays out through a love story. It is not as bad as it sounds though. What makes it bad and this is the biggest setback is the camera. The camera is the real bad guy in the movie. It seems to be facing the right direction at all times. That is my problem. The camera, a good amount in the movie, is on what it needs to be on and to be in that position would have to be in some pretty odd positions for one to hold. That is my main complaint. One last one is part of what the camera gets on film when it comes to seeing what is causing the destruction. There are times when you see to much of what it is. It makes it a little less creepy to see too well what is going on. That is just me. I like when you have to wonder what the hell is happening which is dont pretty damn well at times. So I would not mind this one in my collection but I dont think that will happen. I did enjoy it a whole lot.

Oldboy

If you want a good disturbing flick this is for you. It is all about revenge and it is very well done. I just got this back from a friend that was borrowing it. It took a while and I really wanted to see it again. This movie is really cool and pretty messed up. Like a lot of Asian films it is extreme and violent. It is about a guy who has some issues and one night they get worse. He finds himself in a situation that he cant get out of and has no clue if he ever will. He does not know who is doing this to him but plans to find him and find out why and take care of him. Will he do it? Watch to find out. This is a killer flick. If you like Asian films, revenge films and just stuff that is wrong this is a must.

Sweeny Todd movie review, BONUS 12 Monkeys

Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

I cant stand musicals. I did love Nightmare Before Christmas, Little Shop of Horrors, and there may be another one. I also love Tim Burton. Was The Corpse Bride a musical? Anyway I was so annoyed from the first song and then I dealt with about 7 or 8 more and I gave up. I just dont know what to tell you about this because I did not give it enough time but when you have a movie that all of the sudden everybody sings the question they want to ask ond then the other sings the response I have to throw it out the window.

12 Monkeys (Collector's Edition)

Yeah this is what I am talking about. Twelve Monkeys is a killer movie. It is a mind **** for sure. This is one where I can give you some of the plot without giving it away because it is mixed up as hell. Bad to the bone Bruce Willis is a prisioner sent to the surface to collect evidence to the cause of everybody living under the ground. It causes major problems for him because he is sent back in time as well. The question is what time is it. He gets tossed around in his own head and does not know what to believe. I just love this movie. It is wild as hell. It is never corny and the acting is great. The whole entire movie is unique. This is a type of movie that is really hard to pull off and it is done here to perfection, as far as I can remember. I am always looking for a mistake in a movie. I would without a doubt watch this one. More that likely you will watch it many times to put it all together. So it may be better to just buy it so you dont spend too much money renting it.

You can get it at amazon for $5.84 NEW plus shipping SEE cheaper to buy

The Girl Next Door- movie review, BONUS Jacobs Ladder

The Girl Next Door

I bought this movie and just finally got around to watching it. I need to remember never to buy a movie unless I watch it first. The movie was disturbing and I like that but it had this made for tv feel to it. The casting was ok, and the writing and acting were so-so. This movie is based on a true story and it is a messed up one at that. The plot is a new girl moves in next to this kid. She moves in with her aunt, along with her little sister, because her parents die in a wreck. The girl and the kid kinda hit it off in a crush way. It is a bit under developed and thrown in a hurry. All of the kids in the movie are ok in general but they say too many curss words which gets annoying. Its not that they over do it a lot it just seems out of place overall in contrast to the time era. Theaunt in the movie is a wacko but I was not feeling her in general. Like I said everybody in this movie was so-so at best. As the movie progresses it pulls you in a bit because it just gets wrong. So you may or may not want to watch it, if you like evil behavior you should at least check it out.

Jacob's Ladder

This is one of the best movies I own for sure. There are so many movies that bite aspects of this one and fail big time. It is about Jacob and a tormenting issue he needs to deal with. He is tortured by this issue and he does not have any clue of what is happening. This is a dark, gritty, freaky film. It is madness. It is very successful at messing with your head in a unsettling way, or at least his. If you are a horror flick fan and like movies that mess with your head in a freaky way this is for you. I would put it in the top ten.

I found it!!!!!!!! Them!!!!!! Best techno djs ever, ultra underground stuff

Most of you will care less about this but I decided to find the one that made "the best techno mix ever". These mixes were made in a series and the 1st and 3rd sets are unreal. The second is insane also, wasn't trying to down play it, but not my style of tunes. This is the scoop but in order for you to find it there will be hints. Not sure if I will give it away directly. The first set was the one that turned me on to these people. "Hard as nails techno" flawless mixes, and best of all these are the only djs that 50% of their sets consist of records I have. To me thats huge. Anyway one of these djs is super underground, well they all are which proves they dont sell out, he refuses to give a bio on the site. He is the creator of the first set. He has been mistaken as Nigel Richards. I was looking at Richards to find this guy back in the day. Any I was looking for garbage gate, I was close but I was wrong, when looking for the mix sets. If you like real techno, you cant sleep on these people. There are plenty of killer mixes of theirs to find and I wish you luck finding them. I also found a KILLER dj in the process and will deal with that later.

GTA4 hand to hand ****

What is the deal with the hand to hand fighting mechanics. It is ultra crappy. Maybe I just suc at it but it is the worst. I am at this one mission at the very beginning of the game where you beat up these 2 dudes and then chase one other guy down. I am just getting pissed because punching and fighting is just so terrible. I feel like I have to wait til it is ok to hit again and wait for them to punch so I can counter it. It sux so bad. Then when I get to the other guy with the knife and I need to dis arm him it gets even worse. I cant dis arm him at all. it is just so awkward and just doesnt work for crap. Is there much more of this type of crap? What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else feel the same? What the #$@*&%@@%#

It is GTA4 time.

So I just started this game yesterday. I have a feeling that this is going to be a really fun game. The multi player sounds really fun also. So I only played it til I got to a save point. I should have some time tonight to play it so I am looking foward to it. It is just going to take a lot of time.
