Films that you'd recommend people NOT to watch... My boyfriend rented out Silent Hill last night... Twas fooking pants.
any film with arnold stedhead in ........man i despise the thick nazi bastard ...........i"ll be back not on my telly yer wont .
I hired Silent Hill last week, let me assure you that it's nowhere near as bad as the film i watched last night, Evil Aliens. It's by the same guy who did Razorblade Smile, a bloody cheap and nasty goth-vamp-guns flick. There's some budget to this, but GOD it's so bad..!! Like watching Hollyoaks try their hand at Comedy Sci-fi Horror. Less subtle than a piano falling on you, and probably more painful.
Yeah, we looked at the cover and blurb etc for that, but thought it weren't even worth the £3.95 from Blockbusters to hire it out. Mind you, neither were any of the other films that were in the top titles (apart from Lucky Number Slevin and we saw that a couple of weeks ago). WTF is up with films these days? They must have run out of ideas or something...
It's been a DESPERATELY poor year or two, aye. I have been thinking exactly the same as you, i can only assume that it's Hollywood getting more and more conservative, and the Asian market getting more and more repetitive. It's a pretty poor show when you find that there's not even ONE film a week to hire from Blocky. Mind you, recently it's been more like one film a MONTH for me..! Although i keep procrastinating on Syriana, Goodnight and Goodluck, and Munich. I wanna see them, i don't wanna pay to see them. Was Number Slevin any good? The trailer looked ok, but the name put me off a bit. Oh, i watched Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 t'other night as well, that was so bad it was pretty funny actually! Still pissed off that i spent £6 on it though.
Wachted The Devils Rejects the other night.... seemed like pretty much every stereotype meant to scare (guy dressed as a clown, beautiful girl deadly with a knife, hairy older brother type who looked like he'd bugger his own mother) ... and that's all it was, stereotypical shite with a plotline that was like an ice cream van on a winters day (not worth the time following) ... to be avoided
Aye, surprisingly it was pretty good. Great plot, well shot and good cast. I loved it. There's clues everywhere. From what the cast say to the colours and props used in the scenes.
I think 'The Devil's Rejects' is great! Did you know it was a sequel? 'Cause you may enjoy it more if you've seen 'House of 1000 Corpses'. '1000 Corpses' is a bit spoofy, I think purposefully ragging on the horror genre, but not in a 'Scary Movie' way - More of 'I love this genre, what's happened to it?' way. I was quite suprised at how scary the family are in that first film. But strangely enough I became a wee bit attached to them in the second! And the clown is just funny as fuck! Captain J.T. Spaulding: What's the matter, kid? Don't ya like clowns? Jamie: [shakes head crying] Captain J.T. Spaulding: Why? Don't we make ya laugh? Aren't we fuckin' funny? You best come up with an answer, cos I'm gonna come back here and check on you and your momma and if you ain't got a reason why you hate clowns, I'm gonna kill your whole fucking family. Jamie: [continues crying] Captain J.T. Spaulding: All right, now get your fuckin' ass out the car, go on yayayayayaya [starts laughing] Captain J.T. Spaulding: Where the hell you goin'? Damn it. Don't you NEVER turn your back on a fuckin' clown when he's talkin' to you! Haha! Sorry - I thought the film was great and got myself a bit caught up in the hilarity - Otis is really funny too!... Adam Banjo: Please, mister. This is insane. Otis B. Driftwood: Boy, the next word that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant fuckin' Mark Twain shit. 'Cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone.
To get back to the thread though Haha, Devil's Rejects...Anyway! My housemates last night watched M.Night Syamalan's first flick called 'Wide Awake' or something, that was a load of shite. 'The Day After Tomorrow' is rather awful. Gosh, this is kinda hard actually. I'm scanning the shelves for bad flicks but for obvious reasons we don't seem to hae any! Not shelved anyway. Watched 'Get Shorty' the other day, that was kinda bad.
Yeah, Unfortunately they lost all means of a plot in the second one. It sucked dick. The idea was great (A mixture of wedlock and saving private ryan) but it just didn't work.
I've been looking at that film, but she's a protaganist character and therefore I don't know if I will be able to watch 2 hours of the evil that is Natalie Portman.
bokonon, you must be easily amused dude... there ain't shit in the devils rejects that ain't been done better a dozen times before
Well, yes, I suppose am I easily amused...Wouldn't say that was a bad thing though Honestly though, could you name those 12 flicks that have done 'the same thing' better? And you know, some folk have been known to say that 'Scarface' was just a "gangster" cliche, but at the same time it was funny as hell with some amazing acting. Wether or not it's cliche the dialogue between the cast and the way they act it is pretty darn good! Did you see '1000 corpses' aswell?
