Blarghagh Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I watched all 3 Evil Dead movies now, and I have to say Number 2 was the best. Army of Darkness was fun but mostly silly and had about zero tension. Number one was okay but it seemed to go for shock value more than anything, more than plot, character or atmosphere. Dead By Dawn was just awesome in all respects. Honestly I'm pretty glad I watched number 2 first, because I might have given up on it with number 1. It didn't hold my attention a lot.

Evil Dead 2 is by far the best. I'm not really overly fond of either the first or third at all really. 2 is a classic though. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

mr insomniac Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Evil Dead 2 is one of the best camp horror movies ever made ... But Bubba Ho-Tep is a very close second as my favourite Bruce Campbell flick. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguars4ever Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 For a flick, perhaps. But this is Bruce Campbell at his best: Tachyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Watched PANDORUM. Pretty entertaining film, let down a bit by an ending that doesn't quite work the way I think the producers wanted it to. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Five Fingers - Kind of an odd terrorist kidnapping movie. I actually liked the storyline, but Ryan Phillipe was really hard to listen to with his Danish accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'm nearly halfway through Season 1 of the TV series Dark Skies. Boy, did I have a huge misconception about this series back in the 90's. This is a great show and I like how they fit in each episode with the history of America back in the 1940's, 50's, 60s, etc. Especially with JFK and RFK.

Dark_Raven Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Event Horizon. Good scary space movie but not in the same league as Alien/s. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead By Dawn was just awesome in all respects. Honestly I'm pretty glad I watched number 2 first, because I might have given up on it with number 1. It didn't hold my attention a lot. That's almost exactly how I feel about those movies. I saw the 2nd first, because a friend "made" me see it. Then I rented the 1st, and it was...well...there was nothing amusing about it, a straight horror flick, and not a very good one at that. With Army of Darkness, my friend loved it, but I was mostly "meh". There were some great funny moments, but it became too slapstick, too much a parody of itself, if that's possible. However, in all three, Bruce Campbell was the bomb. ...last night, I watched Independence Day on TV. I'm the 1st to admit it was never super stellar, but it hasn't aged well. I still enjoy it tho, especially the first act...largely because of my memory of seeing it in a packed theater. ID4 was a popcorn audience-participation film...fun w/a crowd hooting, hollering, and applauding, but not so awesome when viewed in your own living room, by yourself. “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Anyone who has watched all three should really read "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Star" by Bruce Campbell.

taks Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 went to the harry potter movie in the imax... 3D in all its glory. i liked the movie, probably because i never read the books. my son... eh, not so much. too long i think. anyway, the 3D was a waste - only implemented in the first half hour and nothing throughout the rest of the movie. shoulda just taken the glasses off. imax is cool, but i recall the DLP picture being nicer. the theater was empty, of course, because this film is two months old. a hot dog, fries, biggest popcorn bucket i've ever seen, and what must have been a gallon of coke (john had dots) probably set me back $50-$60 for the three of us. oh well, it's been a while since i've been to the show and i had fun. oh yeah, it did end kinda funny. i've heard that if you know the book, the ending is screwy. didn't hurt me any, just seemed sort of unexplained. taks comrade taks... just because.

Kelverin Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) American Outlaws (2001) - I know better than to like this type of movie, maybe it was the hour of night or my mood but I liked it. The Omen (1976) - 70's horror at it's finest. Great music! Edited September 29, 2009 by Kelverin J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
