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.

Yep. 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.

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.

For a flick, perhaps.

 

But this is Bruce Campbell at his best:

 

 

Tachyon.

Ah yes. A space sim. I remember when game developers used to make space sims.

Sooooo long since I played that game, and yes he was pretty cool.

was soooo tired and kept nearly drifting off to sleep and was apparently muttering that is was the monkey cameraman that was chasing them

 

what i remember of it was pretty meh - wouldn't recommend

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.

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.

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.

Just watched Five Deadly Venoms. Great classic martial arts film from Chang Cheh and the Shaw Brothers.

Event Horizon. Good scary space movie but not in the same league as Alien/s.

Drag me to hell.

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.

I watched them in the order they came out in, and enjoyed them each for what they were.

Anyone who has watched all three should really read "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Star" by Bruce

Campbell. It is brilliant.

Already done.

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.

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!

The Express. Decent football movie telling the story of Ernie Davis.

Not a bad movie, well done and informative, I had no idea who this guy was.

I see Michael Moore has a new movie out.

Drag me to hell.

ID4 was dated when it came out. The only reason it's not a cult movie is because too many people saw it.

Choke (2008) - "A sex-addicted con-man pays for his mother's hospital bills by playing on the sympathies of those who rescue him from choking to death."
