Can someone help me out, I remember a similar movie to Tales from the Hood where an young basketball player is murdered by his father and has his feet cut off so he would fit in a coffin, only to come back to life later and control his separated feet to kill the man.

I had thought it was a part of Tales of the Hood, but after rewatching it, I found out it wasn't. Anyone have any clue?

I believe you're thinking of Tales from the Crypt: Episode 212 "Fitting Punishment"

Wow, thanks. I have no idea how I got that confused with a story for Tales from the Hood. Must have been the whole mortician angle.

No, it's because the show used nothing but black actors for this story when the only black people it had up until this one were a pimp, a whore, and a voodoo priestess.

It is a really great episode, though. I've just started watching it on youtube.

The Powerpuff Girls Movie

Watching fear. Never seen it before. Mark wahlburg fingerbangs reese witherspoon on a register. Then mark goes also crazy but still badass as shit.

True Grit

Despite all the accolades and great reviews it didn't manage to let me down. Not the greatest film i've seen but a pretty damn good one. James Brolin did a great job in the limited time he had and Matt Damon was actually like able for once.

i like how he talks once he bites his tongue

last hurrah for chivalry
this movie is awesome how had i not seen this one yet? what i like about this one is that there are fights almost constantly. it's not like other wuxias in which they sometimes spend a bit too much time on plot progression and character development. this one is basically "hey you owe me money" "i'm not going to give it to you!" [fight ensues] -SCENE-
"that's a nice sword." "thanks i use it to do this" [fight ensues] -SCENE-

opera (dario argento)
definitely the type of silly slasher film that has you shouting "just leave the house/just call the police/etc." like a jackass. also silly italian iron maiden rip-offs come nowhere close to the awesome power of GOBLIN, sorry dario.

project a, dragon lord, island of fire
lumping these together because they're all jackie chan/sammo hung/yuen biao/mars movies and they're all equally as awesome being so.

the myth (jackie chan)
to be fair we only watched this one because project a-2 wouldn't load and we didn't feel like re-watching who am i? but i'd much rather see jackie fight in a small barn than in front of a green screen. too much budget and too little substance, but the dude is old as fuck and puts so much into his movies, so whatever. it wasn't bad, just stupid.

haha i just remember the scene with the dog. :(

The first time I saw True Grit, three obese slugs sat in front of me talking all the way through it, rustling their wrappers, and not once but twice the one person's phone rang. I thought she had turned it off after the first time but then it rang five minutes later. All through this, I didn't realise but I was developing a flu. I was freezing cold and just thought the air conditioning was up really high, but by later that night I was in bed, fully clothed, shivering and wishing I was dead.

The second time I watched it was on a shitty ancient DVD player and the disc kept skipping and going out of synch.

Despite all of this, I thoroughly enjoyed it both times.

I watched O Brother Where Art Thou again. Usually when I catch it on TV it's already up to the flood scene, and I wanted to just sit down and watch the whole thing. I love the soundtrack.

one time i came home and my cancer-ridden mother was sitting in the living room, in the dark, listening to that soundtrack. at that point, it was on ralph stanley's rendition of "o death." pleasant! i love the john hartford instrumentals on that album though.

I'm not big on hymns, but I really love "O Come Angel Band"

Watched Heartbreak Ridge. Another great Eastwood flick

I've seen it once, but I remember it was stupid as hell. Eastwood is always cool, but the rest of the movie was just bad. It's been a decade since I saw it, so I might be wrong.

And that's why it was great

Rooster Cogburn.

I dunno. I mean, it's sort of an attempt to stretch out the True Grit thing with a female lead old enough to be a noncreepy love interest. Still avenging a murdered father, still more manly than womanly, and so on. It's the only time that John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn ever appeared together and it's like his second-to-last movie or something, so I guess if you're into westerns you should watch it just to watch it.

I thought Jeff Bridges played a better drunk Rooster Cogburn than John Wayne did, but that's just me.

Have you ever noticed that people with healthy eyes who wear eyepatches inevitably curl their lips on the side with the patch? Maybe they feel like they need to hold the patch on with their cheek.

I am betting it is just a facial reaction to how the eyepatch feels

"The Basketball Diaries". Loved the novel, couldn't stand the over the top 90s-ness of the film adaptation. All of the performances seemed vaguely on the verge of hysterics for me. The whole thing felt like a Lifetime Original Movie.

Also, Leonardo DiCaprio was too pretty to play a convincing junkie.

The Owl and the Sparrow. Predictable but sweet movie. A little Vietnamese girl flees her mean uncle's sweatshop and runs off to Saigon. While there, she is befriended by street urchins and told how to make money to survive...first by selling postcards on the street, then by becoming a "flower girl"...(sort of like a pimp-prostitute setup, only she's wearing a school uniform and selling flowers and turning all the money over to the "flower lady"). She befriends a sad zookeeper who's stalking his ex, then she befriends a lonely flight attendant who can't find the right guy, and so of course she has to bring them together. The amazing thing is that she secures this new life for herself in five days.

"Following Sean". It was a good premise but it sort of rambled and took forever. It could easily have been 45 minutes shorter.

It was about the making of the documentary "Sean", which was a series of interviews of a 4 year old growing up with hippie parents in the Haight-Ashbury in...I think 1969. "Following Sean" was supposed to be a continuation, checking back in with him, seeing what he was like as an adult.

Except it sort of meandered and became more about the filmmaker. Would have been fine, but it could've been done differently...I think the filmmaker ultimately talked more about himself than the subject of the documentary, and to me it came off as a little gratuitous.

Watched the movie "Stuck", about a guy who gets trapped in a windshield after a woman runs him over while high/drunk. She leaves him in the garage to die and he has to escape. Despite how boring the premise sounds, it's actually really really good.

That kind of sounds like that "Thanks for the ride, lady" from...what was that, like the first Creepshow or the second?

Second one I believe

It was like that but more thriller focused and less horror.

Rewatched "Paper Moon". Fucking love that movie. Showed it to Mr. Kitsa and he's watching it for the second time today, right now.

I briefly considered dressing my daughter as Addie, since she has the same scowl and haircut, but then I thought no one would get that as a halloween costume.

edit: one of my favorite parts is when Madeline Kahn is putting on the sugary charm for the little girl, and she's smiling and coaxing as she struggles uphill toward her, and she trips and shouts "Son of a bitch!". God, I love Madeline Kahn.

Watched Jack the Giant Killer being riffed by Riff trax guys. Probably not to hard to riff such an awful movie, but it was fun. The stop motion monsters were horrible. Ray Harryhausen did stop motion the best.

Toto The Hero http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0103105/

Fucking amazing. I remember seeing this about a decade ago and it made a huge impression in my young mind. For some weird reason, I never watched it again until now. It isn't as emotionally powerful as I remembered it to be, but it still holds up. If you enjoy Jean Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, City Of Lost Children...) movies, you'll propably like this one too.

^
I'll check that out then, I really liked both of his other movies you mentioned.

The colors, surrealism and overall mood of the movie is quite similar to Amelie, but Toto is somewhat darker.

Innocent Until Proven Filthy 4.

There's a GREAT scene in which this butch haired blonde goes absolutely crazy while ridin' this dude while a busty blonde rides the dudes face. Really riveting stuff.

"World's Greatest Dad", starring Robin Williams and written/directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. I know, I know. But.

Fuck.

First of all, I would not have believed Bobcat Goldthwait was capable of writing such a thing. He probably gets that a lot, or underappreciation wouldn't have been a major plot element. There are so many levels and things going on, I don't even know where to start.

Second, what a fucking uncomfortable "dark comedy". I could have happily gone the rest of my life without seeing Robin Williams' dick, thanks.

Third, even if you hate Robin Williams (and that's the first thing I said when the movie was loading), watch it, it's good.

I saw it. It didn't seem dark enough to me really. It seems like it's headed that way and then pulls out before the big sploosh. And I don't remember robin william's penis at all, so that's a plus.

The new Fright Night. It's actually a pretty badass movie.
Too bad no one will see it because they would sooner rub ghost peppers in their eyes than watch another remake. :\

I loved the old Fright Night and I'm a little afraid of the new one ruining it for me.

Found "A Serious Man" on ebay for $1.99 and re-watched it tonight. It's my favorite Coen Brothers movie, but pretty dark. The whole Book of Job thing is a concept I'm all too familiar with, so I think I identify with this one more than, say, a stolen carpet or a dildo exercise machine or whatever.

I was honestly pissed when I heard they made the new Fright Night, but it was done right.
It never felt like they were just rehashing the original with crappier actors, or pissing on the original in a attempt to make it more "real".

All of the old rules are there (you must have faith for the cross to work, you have to invite the vampire in, etc.) and Dr. Who was great as Peter Vincent without even trying to compete with Roddy McDowall.
Oh, and the cameo is awesome too. :)

I watched this fucking anime

And it was really really good, despite the obvious handicap of being an anime.

Ahhh, that's Satoshi Kon's work. I love 'im. It's too bad we won't see anything else from him. :(

Yeah, he died before I even knew who he was =(

i didn't like that movie :(

i liked perfect blue and paranoia agent a lot though :O

Paprika was amazing, too.



I love it when people mess around in dream worlds.

So, I'm watching Priest and while it's not a great movie, at least it isn't a remake of a movie that's only a few decades old.

Did it really need to be updated or should the produces actually have scoured the books and comics looking for something interesting to turn into a movie?

It's not like there isn't a million hungry writers out there. These movie makers are just trying to get a money for nothing.

I was watching Platoon last night and came across a sample than Ministry used in the song "Flashback"



I always wondered what they were saying. :lol

Platoon - better than Apocalypse.

I'm calling it.

I'm gonna put :
Apocalypse
Platoon
and
Full Metal Jacket
on 1 Dual layer DVD.

I think that's sweet. :O

Dogma, which the ending of I a m fascinated by. although, doesnt anyone realize that it was AFTER this movie that Alanis Morissette came into the world?

Don't lie to us, everyone knows the community center wouldn't show a movie like that

Red, pay attention. >:

That's a sexy DVD. I still love Apocalypse. Goddamn those are good movies.

The funny thing is my air conditioner fan was making whoop whoop helicopter noises last night and I was worried that I was gonna have a dream about Vietnam and hell. :lol

Cropsey. It was creepy and all but it felt like it was going to go on for fucking ever.

Lenny, the Lenny Bruce biopic that Bob Fosse did. I suppose next I should watch All that Jazz.

CAPTAIN AMERICA.

Wow it was ridiculously awesome. My favorite part is where there is a montage of Cap and the Commandos wrecking havoc. Cut to Cap riding his motorcycle away and then Red Skull arriving in his hydra/hitler car and shakes his fists menacingly in the air.

It reminded me of something out of animal house.

I got a nerdgasm seeing Dumdum Dugan in it

She's Out of Your Leage.

For a bromantic comedy rife with juvenile humor it was actually pretty enjoyable.:\

Just got back from Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. (as you know) I'm a HUGE fan of del toro, and the original movie was freaky as hell when i was a kid.

It's literally just a nice, simple remake with a budget and run through guillermo-ville. People are bitching about it, blah blah blah high expectations, the monsters are goofy, critics are nitpicky fags and no horror movie on earth is actually scary for grown-ass adults. With that out of the way, it was fun as hell and I didn't regret paying for a movie ticket. my only complaint is

in the mouth of madness sorta scared me when i was an adult the first couple of times i watched it :(

Jurassic Park scared me when I was kind of older...13. They had a lot of jump out scares, but they were excellently done. And it was kind of a scary movie in a way.

dinosaurs always scared the shit out of me :(

until i learned to fight them in my dreams

I've never been able to stay awake through Jurassic Park. I've tried on and off ever since it came out and I've always fallen asleep partway through it, usually after the old doctor guy is scaring that kid with the dinosaur tooth or claw or something :(

WHAT

WHAT

sam fucking neill, kitsa. SAM NEILL.

She must have narcolepsy because that was like within the first 5 minutes of the movie that sam neill scared the kid.

I'm serious, this is like a major movie-viewing problem. I've tried and tried :(

I think maybe the soothing voice of sam neill makes you sleepy.

I can't find the script for JP4 that I read the synopsis of it but it involved training an elite group of raptors to became mercenary space marines....

I'll be watching it no matter because for some stupid reason my brain has to see more dinosaurs. I collected every single toy as a kid and they were awesome toys. Even if Nedry looked nothing like the movie and had a water squirter for some reason. Oh, and now most of the dinosaurs you find out there have giant holes in their sides with their ribs showing because of the dino damage thing. I still loved those big rubbery beasts.

The ad at the top of the page now is Weird Al and Mike Nelson doing rifftrax for Jurassic Park. lol

<3

Those toys with the dino damage were awesome too.

ASHES OF TIME
... what?

KING BOXER
a'ight pretty good

CROSSROADS
the blues one, not the britney spears one. let's... not talk about this one. i hated it.

12 Monkeys + The documentary about making the film

Terry Gilliams second best movie. Bruce Willis was maybe a bit miscast, but did a good job nontheless. Thought provoking film and just hypnotic in a weird kind of way. The ending was excellent. I also liked the documentary, which actually showed how hard it was to make the movie and not just be some generic "oh we had such a good time and I love everybody and wish the world hunger would stop" bullshit.

I started watching 12 monkeys the other day but haven't finished it yet.

Too many monkeys for you?

It was too many to fit in a barrel.

I watched Dazed and Confused last night and loved it. It's a refreshing change from most teen movies that rely on wacky antics

Tokyo Gore Police (again). It's plenty fucked, but it's not my favorite.

Kevin Smith: Too Fat for 40 - typical entertaining fake Q&A monologue. I liked the bit about him grabbing a box of chicken before answering the door to the cops because (paraphrasing) "No guilty guy carries chicken".

Children of Chabannes- documentary about a school in an isolated French town that took in Jewish refugee kids, and how they lived.

Ernest Scared Stupid and House of Frankenstein. Getting into the spirit of things. :halloween2

Shrek Forever After. I liked it better than the last one I watched.

Shrek Forever After was the second best Shrek

I watched a half hour into Tales of Earthsea and gave up. It had a great setup and all but it was just moving way too slow.

My fan and a/c were set to dubstep the other day. Couldn't fucking sleep because it sounded liked

If memory serves (and I cannot say for sure I am accurate) the book was just as slow

little big top i bought this from a bargain bin only cause it had sid haig in it but i really liked it

That movie was a big influence in my early drinking/drug days.

I watched highlander: source

wtf is this shit

I think you'd like Brick and Art School Confidential.

oh tokyo gore police. that was such a disappointment. i think the over-the-top japanese action swordplay movies hit their pinnacle with battlefield baseball or maybe versus/death trance. i don't really remember any of them except battlefield baseball. featuring tak sakaguchi as jubei baseball.


i watched LES VISITEURS last night, a film about jean reno as an 11th century nobleman that ends up in modern times and it's wacky and it's goofy and whatever i totally liked it.

also WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS which was just a pretty boring giant-monster-smash-tokyo-while-other-giant-monster-save-tokyo-but-nobody-understands-and-they-persecute-both-giant-monsters movie.

also THE MAN FROM NOWHERE which was described to me as "a korean version of taken" and yeah that's about right but less entertaining.

also THE HEROIC TRIO starring maggie cheung michelle yeoh and that lady that's in a lot of old jackie chan movies - this movie was pretty awful. compounded by the fact that netflix instant doesn't provide language options, so we had to watch a shitty dub.

Battlefield Baseball was great. So was Machine Girl. Love me some Machine Girl.

I don't know, I've met people who are just ALL ABOUT Tokyo Gore Police and I was just completely underwhelmed by it. It was either a lumped-together pile of parts from dozens of other movies I've seen or other movies I've seen are stealing pieces of it, I don't know which and I'm too lazy to look up all of the production dates.

I used to really, really love Japanese horror movies but I've seen so many of them now it's like I have a table of characteristics in my head and it's nothing but checkmarks in all the columns. That sounds right in my head but not so much when I type it. Oh well, I know what I mean.

Have you seen Tetsuo: The Bullet Man yet?

Have you ever seen 2bdlk? That japanese movie was pretty good. Like 80 mins of tension followed by a facial.

Let's see....

-Japanese
-Tension
-Facial

Sounds like every bukkake ever :lol

I've seen just about everything, I think. That might be why I'm kind of over it.

Yeah, this movie and it's sequel are pretty good.

Last film I saw was Cowboys versus Aliens. It was completely retarded in some ways, but I still really liked it.

Brick, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

I do like the sexy jews

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

I've seen this once before and that was like ten years ago. I didn't even remember what happened in the end. I'm really glad I watched it again. That's how you make a fucking movie. Perfect in every way.

Have you seen Holy Matrimony, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Do you like sexy Hutterites in films directed by Leonard Nimoy?

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is fucking excellent. That was a movie I turned on to fall asleep to because I'd never seen it - I did not sleep.


Last night I watched SGT. KABUKIMAN, NYPD - some shitty Troma film. It was... as awful as I'd expected. Not in a good way.

Also, THEY LIVE. Also not what I was expecting. Pretty silly.

A SEQUEL?! Awesome! I imagine it doesn't have Reno in it?

I mentioned liking it the next day and my girlfriend was like "really?" What do you mean, really? It was funny!

I like my answer better :P

He plays the same role from what I remember. In hindsight probably not as good as the first, since it's mostly the same jokes used all over again.
