Repo Men
Definitely not for the squeamish. There's a level of casual brutality in this movie that reminds me of very few other films (though Old Boy comes to mind). I thought it was pretty good though I was hoping for a little more social satire given the premise. Plenty of memorable moments though.

Been on Godard binge lately.

Vivre Sa Vie is definitely one of the more conventional Godard films I've seen, although very good nontheless. At this point I'd have to say Breathless is by far my favorite, followed by Pierrot Le Fou and the Vivre Sa Vie. All excellent movies though. If you're depressed there's a very good chance you would connect with these movies, in fact I think there's a good chance they would help you out of it.

A pretty good zom-com. Billy Connolly plays Fido the zombie. Love him.

I remember seeing this on TV when I was 12 or 13 and thinking it was like the weirdest thing I had ever seen. Maybe I'll rewatch it.

Had never seen this until tonight. Gotta say as a father its pretty intense. Denzel does a great job as always of bringing your feelings into the film. 9/10

I watched this after seeing this thread. Critics really missed the ball on this one. I liked it, though it definitely had some major flaws. At least visually it was new, and had a strong performance from jude. The ending was pretty neat too.

Well bugger me sideways - I actually quite liked this. I liked the update of Freddy K that we're given here, like how he's actually made up to look like a more realistic burn victim, how we're told a lot more about his past (and that way how there's a new slant on his bad guy...ness) than in other Nightmare movies and so on. The acting wasn't bad, the gore was pretty cool, the music was well-chosen and so on. Pretty good as far as horror remakes go, especially considering it comes from the same Platinum Dunes that gave us that dull-as-hell re-hashes of Friday 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Hitcher.

It's cool how it wasn't exactly a shot-for-shot remake as well and tried to show off a few new tricks, but this worked against it slightly as well. Identical re-shoots of scenes from Wes Craven's original are few and far between, which means some of the better scares from the original got passed over (like that human blender bit for instance).

As such, it's certainly inferior to the original, but I still really enjoyed this.

i just finished watching it and i have to agree.....while it pale's in comparison...this really was a enjoyable horror flick.....there was a little bit of what i would call 'Susperia' acting....but overall they all did well, the story was somewhat enthralling and quite entertaining, and they effects were not painfully obvious
