Definitely a sleeper with a last minute PR campaign it seems. Go see it, you will not be disappointed!

Will do.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

8.5/10

 

[Centurion]

Ghost Adventure: Halloween Special in Ireland. 8/10.

 

[Centurion]

See.. this is a film I'd consider owning on Blu-Ray - & I hardly own any.

I'm only reserving that format for the absolute best of the best in my view; stuff like Enter The Dragon, JAWS, the original SW, ALIEN, The Thing, Jurassic Park - etc.

Treat yourself and purchase this one. It's the definitive version of the movie at this point. $20 at Wal-Mart.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Nightcrawler - 10/10

 

[Centurion]

First Blood. 7/10.

The Exorcist, 1973. Easily in my top 3 favorite Horror movies of all time and most likely at the #1 spot. I didn't watch it for the first time until the early 80's though. But when you read about how viewers back then were walking out of the theaters (movie hasn't finished), people throwing up and even some fainting, you just know this movie was ground-breaking.

Richard Smith(may he RIP) did a fantastic job turning young Linda Blair into the demonic figure we've come to love/hate. He's the lead crew in the make-up and special effects for the movie.

Thanks for the memories Richard and for the many sleepless nights you induced on many of us. LOL!

Totally - it's an amazing film, & I have actually seen it a few times over the years. The very 'first' time, was in high school - early 90s. I watched it after school with a couple friends at someone's house, & it had no impact on me, for a few reasons I think. a) I wasn't alone, b) it was a crappy VHS copy, c) it was the old theatrical cut I'm pretty sure, so no extra stuff - & d) they were laughing & poking fun at certain scenes so I didn't get the intended experience. After that, it might've been on TV or something, & I probably watched it intermittently that time.

Fast forward five or so years later, & the special edition was released in all it's restored glory (for the time). Again - with a couple friends, only this time we actually sat down quietly &.. watched it. Properly. With all those extra bits. It floored me.. & I think we all kinda felt that way that day.

You know NOW though, it may be different. I could well see it & not be anywhere near as affected, but anyway. Horror films don't bother me normally - except for a small few. I went through a stage in the 90s, where I was on a mission to see every notorious horror film I'd missed out on or heard about as a kid, & most were either funny, stupid, or cheap - but a few lived up to the hype.

I'll say this though, in the last decade or so I've seen a bunch of the new-Gen horror stuff - & it's an extremely lame shadow of what film makers were doing in the 70s & 80s. They have to resort to stuff like SAW, HOSTEL & Human Centipede to even try & come close to pushing any kind of envelope; basically to disgust rather than entertain. I respect good film makers & their work - regardless of the genre within reason, but the world of film certainly isn't what it used to be in a lot of ways.

Agreed. The horror movies today that resort to using excessive gore and inhumane treatment doesn't do anything for me. Right now, I enjoy the psychological thrillers. Take a look at The Conjuring if you haven't already.

Yeah, I've seen the trailers.. not my thing.

I just noticed your recommendation for that 35th ann. BR of Halloween. I'm in Australia, so I'm not sure if we'll get that exact one or not.

That said, I prefer the original movie poster for the cover art, actually.

Exists - 5/10

Glad I found a download of it instead of renting it. Acting and characters are atrocious.

Good film.

Bicentennial Man - 8.9/10

I watched this a million times and I love it, reminicent of the golden age of science fiction
And I love Sam Neil in this one, he can truly portray the kind of guy that knows all the answers to life's questions

Alien - 9.9/10

What kept that 0.1 away?
