Vacancy (2007)
Big Vacancy exists!!
Big Vacancy exists in this movie unless i missed it. Here is a couple on a long road trip and in todays era that means DUH Bring cell phones now if this was pre cellular world then this movie would make a little more sense.I've seen others like this and their phones are broken lost or whatver so the viewers understand but what no cell phones? c'mon.If i missed a scene about cells then i am wrong and this is a scary ass movie about sick People that lurk around our planet getting kicks from snuff movies.but i say it stinks because of the above mentioned reason. Now i was on the edge of my seat!!1 scene was good yet not great Wife manages to start a BMW and kilss off 2 of the mad suckers.To improve she should have bashed his skull to pieces while pinned it would have been most satisfying,Lot of obvious BS if you care. Wife survives beating and kills main dirtbag but with the way she was getting hit by him she belonged in intensive care. Just too unbelievable even for escapism horror. Oh another thing the Credits and music don't fit the movie i thought they blew that.Totally
Babel (2006)
"..beautifully touching".."descent caring people.They will get 'Babel' "
It's hard to write about 'Babel' without bringing up 'Spoilers'. Three different Cultures all facing a crisis which started by a Japanese hunter who presents his Moroccan guide a rifle as a gift.I can tell you that i sat down and watched this movie and could not get up once i got into it.It's like 3 different movies in one and not apparent totally right away,cannot exist without the other.I held back tears many times because this movie is so beautifully touching.The intense acting will make your emotions shudder but not in fear but in understanding of love of family issues.Brad Pitt although low key as are most characters is 'Babel'is outstanding.But i'm sure everyone agrees the Japanese parts are the stand out acting scenes, to me anyway.It's for the heartfelt descent caring people.They will get 'Babel'
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
.."taking 'Borat'too seriously will pass, as the laughs come.. non stop"..
Sacha Cohen(A jew)became Borat from Kadjistan and has stayed in character now and will be better than Peter Sellers cause he has absolutely nothing to hold him back.This movie is the type of movie that separates the 'old fuddy duddys' from the 'love to laugh at at life' types.I saw it three times even bought the soundtrack (I use it to wake me up on my cd alarm clock)I'm not Jewish i don't think the anti jew stuff was needed but it was funny and remembering that Borat really is a jew might be the reason he got away with it.But taking 'Borat'too seriously will pass, as the laughs come pretty much non-stop.Just thinking about it i start to get giddy. You will love it or despise it!!but it's pure politically incorrect fun!!! Thank you Borat!! There will be much more i hope!
The Covenant (2006)
Take this flick and shove it!! I ain't watching it no more!!
I'm an old goat i guess.Every time i see a new science fiction(or whatever this crap is)i pick up my 50's - 80's B movie collection, Hammer films etc and literally kiss the Discs!!If this crap was on WB 11 it would fail.Ed Wood is looking more and more like a genius these days with these pretentious boring waste of time movies. OY VAY!!!! It stinks. It stinks. It stinks. It Stinks. It STINKS. It doesn't pay to even ask why just yawn your way over to your remote and be thankful we live in a country with choices. To each his own!!Plan 9 from outer space or Horror Hotel something.Anything to ease the pain of this movie. I give it a 2 for Clarity!!!
Comeback Season (2006)
Down to earth ..warm vibes.
2 people middle aged man and young man who happen to be neighbors,are forced to be roomies.Both help each other mend their lives after 1 screws up his marriage and the other gets a tragic injury to ruin his high potential football career. Now what you think might happen is some rip roarin comedy moments.No Not needed Just both climbing back in their lives.I loved it a bit mushy but not to the point that it becomes a total girly date movie. Very down to earth and refreshing family stuf and unless you're a hardened criminal you will like this movie which i thought was filled with warm vibes on what really matters in life. Liotta was entertaining as were the other cast members.
Pulse (2006)
It's the end of the world as we know it.com!!! AGAIN!!
When will filmmakers learn that the 'Resident Evil' dark blue dingy imagery, allegedly high Tech supposed to be cool(?) ,type horror thrillers are like totally boring already, even to the geekiest of the geeks? Such crap is passing off for 'Sci-Fi nowadays.Complete with loud noises to wake up the viewers and who really cares or believes even remotely this nonsense of the web bringing on Armageddon .I Don't Care!!! Help us someone! signed a movie fan with some kinda sense. Screw the Internet already go walk your dog people ! Life is too Quick The web is a total fun place but it can't and won't cure man's main ills like sickness and death!. Have a nice day
Dèmoni (1985)
Heavy Metal joyride into Pre-Hell!!
The very cool and hypnotic sounds of the 80's music by Claudio Simonetti ushers in one of the best Euro style horror films of all time.Demons is not for kids or some Adults. Violence really is layed on thick during most of this rowdy Heavy Metal joyride into Pre-Hell!!I loved it on VHS years ago its how i dicovered Dario argento, who produced this mind blowing fun not (for the squeamish i repeat!!)If you're a fan of horror escapism ala "Night of the Living Dead","Dawn"..,"Zombi". This is right up your alley.The Demons are really quite scary looking!!This movie is definitely in a class by itself!
Tenebre (1982)
His Climax, .. shining horror moment
Tenebrae should have been packaged in a "yellow" or giallo cover.This is Argento really showing the cinema viewers his ideas on Giallo.Murder mysteries ,super thrillers, somewhat sexy and very violent are Giallo.
"Tenebrae" has all the elements it takes, like a good recipe for Lasagna!And Dario Argento places everything right in this one.This is his Climax,and a shining horror moment!If such a thing is possible to presume, this is his best!! This it is. Fine acting, great creative special effects, and a visual delight. I doubt if this movie will ever seem outdated since masterpieces cannot be. Hitchcock probably loved this one I'm sure of it.This movie takes creative and visual violence and makes it perversely beautiful!!Scream Daria Scream!!
Ti piace Hitchcock? (2005)
In a traditional Movie sense, this movie is better than the long awaited "Card Player".
It Would be ludicrous in a huge way to compare this film to any past Argento works.Dario has sort of erased the formula board a little to start fresh but yet amazingly DYLH is as old fashioned as a thriller/murder mystery can get! All i was expecting from DYLH was a good to average movie with at least some of the argento flair for the visual, knowing this was a Euro made TV Movie if you will.It's a hell of a lot more. Let's get back to basics though, movies must entertain and a connection to the characters always helps, along with a memorable soundtrack if possible. Oh and if it claims to be a thriller it must do just that Thrill!!. I just described my feelings after watching "Do you Love Hitchcock".In a traditional Movie sense, thriller or Giallo, this movie is better than the long awaited "Card Player".Forget what you hear from the alleged Argento experts there are none who could say this and that or compare,just enjoy it thats the general idea! It could have been called "Do you like Bava,Hitchcock and me,Dario Argento"? My answer is a definite yes i do like. Dario uses his cinema style like a weapon of mass destruction and was probably in a real good mood (you can see it in the Extras) DA shows audiences once again why he is a cult success, without all the benefits of huge sums of money for budgets from large Movie studios. Dario, 64,has been at it since the real good Hitchcock times,in the 60's.I want more of this style, much more!!It's pure fun! Bravo Dario! An excellent addition to your great body of work.Long Live Bava ,Hitchcock and shine on Dario!!
Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952)
Borderline Cult
I've always loved this above average lost in jungle comedy team movie. This movie showcases Mitchell and Petrillo and for the life of me i don't know why they were not more popular.Being clones of Martin and Lewis,they come off as quite professional in this B- Movie.Songs are good and i like this movie better than any "road" movies but then thats a matter of taste or lack of it.Bela Lugosi and the Ape actors just add to the fun.1 scene that cracks me up is the witch doctor eating a banana through his giant mask.Then again Sammy doing stand up to the natives who seem Hawaiian gets me going too.The question is did Mitchell and Petrillo make more movies?
