    "The Dead 2" 7/10 - The Ford's haven't lost their abilities as filmmakers. Beautiful scenery & well shot, giving you a feel for the area in which the action takes place. Plagued by a few of the same logical inconsistencies as the first, but not a deal breaker. Gives a good view of how the plague arrives in India & how quickly it spreads.

    While the basic premise is the same, (road trip in the zombpocalypse, in an unfamiliar, foreign country, with limited supplies & unreliable resources & means of travel), the characters, their motivations, & the emotional journey they all travel is much different. That & some very solid & different "set pieces" make this one different enough to warrant watching.

    This one may not bring anything new or different to the genre, or even very little to what the first one brought, but it is a solid flick. If the first one had never been made & THIS was the first one, we would have probably been raving about it. It's only in comparison to its predecessor that it suffers any. But the first one blazed such new ground & made such a splash that it would be a hard act to follow, & maybe impossible to try & top. So we end up with a solid flick that sits fairly comfortably alongside the other, so I'm fine with that.

    Gone Girl - 8.5/10
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I've never watched a Leprechaun movie, and I never will.

    Yeah, I really dug that flick. Looking forward to the Blu-Ray - Fincher Blu-Rays are always worth the money.

    I failed...



    Still though, it had a hot, young Jennifer Aniston in it. That's why it got a 1. Swings and roundabouts.

    You still haven't seen the 1st? Do yourself a favor man & check it! One of the better examples of the genre for sure.

    Even as big an aficionado of the slasher genre as I am, & bad movies in general, I still don't really have an interest in revisiting this series. I know I saw the 1st over 20 years ago, but remember zip about it.

    Shootem, you may need to start an "I've shamed myself" thread a la Lou.

    Now, to de bidness at hand...



    "The Battery" 9/10 - Fantastic. Heading over to Dead Discussion for a proper review. You need to see this.

    *EDIT*

    Do not come back here again until you do. It is one of the best horror flicks of recent times.

    Now for the task at hand: Burke and Hare. Great cast. Dark sense of hunor. 8.5/10

    7.5/10

    Watched it with my son. He's slowly getting into horror films and I thought this was a nice stepping stone. I was worried about it being 30+ years old, but he loved it which I guess it's a testament to the film itself

    It's amazing how scary a smoke machine and a torch can be

    The first time I saw it as a teenager, I think I was 14 at the time, and I hated it. Left it a few years, watched it again, and absolutely loved it. Saw it again a while back and it's still great. Extremely effective and the sense of place that Carpenter builds up gradually - particularly in the early part of the film - is exceptional. That opening ghost story gives me chills whenever I see it. Great music too.

    I really enjoyed VHS 2 and thought it was decidedly better (and more inventive) than the first, which I also enjoyed, but which I also felt had numerous problems (such as the totally twattish male characters in all but one vignette).

    10/10 from me. One of my all time favorites. Carpenter at his best.
