Michael Collins. Main character is in the title. This was a very well filmed movie that was very good mainly because of the tone and the way the narrative moves along nicely. Quite bizarrely for the most of it i wasn't buying Liam Neesons accent despite him coming from over here; he grew on me towards the end.

Kingdom of Heaven, director's cut. Great film indeed, IMO tho.

Thriller: A Cruel Picture (1974) - Decent little cult film that I believe had some influence on Tarantino when making Kill Bill and it shows. I was surprised to find segments actual sex shot in a very pornographic manner shoddily inserted into the film in the version I have which by all accounts seemed uncalled for. But overall, as I say, it was enjoyable enough. 2.5/5

Black Christmas (1974) re-watch

as one of the earliness slasher movies, even few years before big know slasher movie Halloween. I am little shocked that it did not get a sequel and i clad it didn't.

If you are looking for slasher to make you Jump, this movie won't do it at all, there no real scare scenes to make jump however, this movie dose not try to scare you at all in that way,

Some may find this movie little out dated now and tad boring if have already seen other slasher movies like Friday and Halloween movies.

However I found this to me very intense, they did add some dark humor in the mix which was nice and didn't feel campy at all and worked really well with the rest of the movie.

At Christmas at sorority house, girl are unaware that stranger who making phone calls as broken into the house.

We don't get to see who that person is at all, that makes little bit more creepy, as you have no idea who or why is this house for most of the movie, you do get parts of him in the movie.

The deaths in this movie are not gory or anything but there are really good death scenes in this movie, which i think are way before there time.

I love the final scenes of the movie, how is pans around the whole house and still mangers to keep tension until very last second of the movie.

The acting was really good from everyone in whole cast, there maybe one or two had bit over the top acting, it didn't bother to much.

Men in Black 3

I liked the original MIB film for its pure originality, imagination, quirky effects and the fact Sonnenfeld directed. This gave the film a nice kooky fun feeling just like he achieved with 'The Addams Family'. The second film didn't really seem up to much, more of a rehash of the first, bit of a sell out.

I was worried this third film would just be another rehash but in a nice huge surprise its pretty neat. The plot revolves around time travel which can be problematic for a film but its handled well and at no time did I feel confused.

The real meat of the film is of course the effects and alien imagination on hand, think of the whole film as a Mos Eisley space cantina sequence. This has always been the best parts in the MIB franchise, seeing who is an alien or what seemingly dull average setup could be an alien ship/base/weapon/creature etc...As with the previous films effects range from being really good wet n slimy concepts with the aliens, some great mask/makeup work mixed with cgi. But then the action sequences tend to look rather fake and hokey, its pretty obvious and never seems to look any good really, way obvious bluescreen work.

Of course the film is pretty much a live action cartoon so one can't quibble but it does still look really fake throughout. That aside I do love the in-jokes and little touches such as revealing famous figures to be either aliens or working for the MIB, its been done but it still works and gives that nice undercover secretive atmosphere that surrounds the whole (real) Men in Black mystery.
A nice bonus of course with this new film is all the little jokes about the vast differences in technology between 69 and the present day. Some fun pokes at obvious changes in tech sizes and battery usage, I also liked how the aliens in the MIB HQ seemed to be dressed circa 1969 (60's in general). In other words they all look like aliens from cheesy B-movies of the time, well I presume that was the idea hehe.

To be fair its only down to Brolin as a young 'Agent K' that makes it work so well. I think its safe to say without him it would have been business as usual from Hollywood and another factory line sequel. Although I must also give credit to the design and creation of 'Boris' who is certainly a pleasing baddie and quite formidable for once.
Played really well by Jemaine Clement I must give kudos to the whole idea, the character is actually quite eerie with his gnashing jaws, 'Tusken Raider' like eye sockets and creepy crawly servants, its a shame we don't see more of his real features. I loved how he was well spoken also, sounded like Tim Curry...he could of played the part also methinks.

Must also say, I hated the casting of Emma Thompson, she totally did not fit in this role one bit. The younger actress used to be her younger self was a complete balls up, no way she looked anything like a younger Thompson...but I nitpick.

The film isn't gonna blow you away by any means. Its solid fun and has done well to breathe new life into the franchise but its still somewhat of a cookie cutter blockbuster. I think this third bookmarks the franchise nicely and there is no need to milk it further. Unfortunately there are talks of a fourth which you know will spoil everything, Hollywood just doesn't know when to quit and end on a high, gotta bleed every last dime until its derided and dry.

On a final thought for you...Nicole Scherzinger, oh my god is she hot!! damn hot!! scorching!!! why couldn't she have been more involved in her black latex/pvc outfit!?. Oh the disappointment of that, talk about teasing you geez.

Red State (2011) - Michael Parks is the only saving grace in this complete mess of a film. 1/5.

Sleepaway Camp

it's another the movie i have only seen once before that was years ago.

This movie as some of the most nasty vile people in any horror movie, there was not more then one person that was like able in this movie.

And the acting in this movie was so bad that it was really funny and the deaths in the movie were not great but they were some decent death scenes for 80's.

It's was shame that some of the deaths scenes were off screen and we only saw the aftermath of them.

The ending was decent a twist, it didn't have the same impact since the first time i saw it, i was shocked by it but when face of the the killer is reveled with mouth open for like ages, i could not help but laugh.

I do think this movie a little outdated now and for some reason I did not find it as cheesy as before.

Sexy Killer. Yes it is an utterly silly, ridiculous concept but it's bloody funny. And also a genius idea at that. It took me a while to get into it, but after a while it grew on me and i started to enjoy the ever growing references to other horror films. I loved the main character being the unsuspected killer(to the other characters) for her own pathetically fucked up reason - which was to do with fashion. Not a spoiler since it's on the IMDB page.

Pet Semetary. It had that classic 80's feel to it and following up from similar themed reanimation films Reanimator and Hellraiser, comes this massively entertaining, very good horror following up a similar plot line quite well. I felt like it could have been more of a black comedy, but other than that i have no complaints, it was a well directed, enjoyable and thrilling movie that i think i'll actually like equally if not better on a second viewing.

Pelicula what on earth was that film you recommended to me that was set in 1971 similar to Battle Royale? Can't for the life of me remember it's name and i've been searching the forums...

[Pelicula]

Probably Punishment Park. Very different to Battle Royale though:
