Overall I find it to be a good creepy classic, with some an interesting atmosphere.

One to see if you are a horror fan and have not watched it.

Personally I think I prefer this one to Halloween.

8.5/10

I just saw this the other day as well. I loved any moment when the killer was on the phone.

I was in a documentary mood last night...

Scared the ****ing **** out of me. If this guy is even half right on the **** he said would be happening too to our society then I'm going to start building my pip boy now and apply to a vault.

9/10

Great film on the movies admitted to the National Film Registry by Congress. Great clips of fantastic movies and great commentary by the people who make them happen.

Also, considering I'm a projectionist at a movie theater, it was great to see how they take old nearly destroyed films and make them new again. Film is a passion of mine and seeing it done like that was really neat.

9/10

Yeah, I could definitely see that comparison, or The Matrix.

Absolutely wicked. Reika Hashimoto is a total babe and the plot is a joy to watch unfold.

A little gem. Not enough people have seen this.

Today:

If you actually break the movie down in terms of plot it almost reaches B movie levels and I actually felt like I was on drugs watching the film at times as it has this surreal quality to it but this is obviously intentional as we are viewing experiences for the first time as much as Hanna is and I get where the director was coming from.

I thought the production design and location shooting was superb and nothing like you would expect but Cate Blanchett (usually so reliable) was annoying as hell in the movie and the soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers (whom I like as a band) just doesn't work in the film. All in all an intriguing movie though and definitely worth a watch.

The Decline of Western Civilization
This is one of those movies I've wanted to see for ages. It's pretty interesting, and I'd love to see where some of these fans are now, but I couldn't help thinking that a lot of the people they interviewed seemed like fucking morons. I guess that probably means I'm getting old.

I loved Babel and this was right up there in acting performances, maybe a little better. Naomi Watts is ****ing fantastic. I liked her more in this film than any of her others. Del Toro was fantastic as well and Penn was his usual awesome. The story was pretty good but not as amazing as the performances.

8/10

I really liked this one. Usually when watching an old movie like this I have to deal with ****ty effects and rely on good acting and script, but the effects in this one were awesome and I believe it won an Oscar for it. Great movie.

8/10

It was my first time seeing the movie all the way through. I've always seen bits and pieces on youtube and movie montages but thsi was the first actual sitting. The movie is a bit dated in parts but the performances are still wonderful. I never understood how they got a young Linda Blair to do all that ****.

9/10

That was bad. Very bad. It was just Chow Yun Fat shooting things. Completely forgettable.

3/10

This was also my first sitting. I, along with probably a few others, have a bunch of classic films that I have no see, this being one. Now I get to cross it off my list. Great movie. I can't wait to see the other two in the series.

9/10

no they were fucking morons and they all talk with that horrible south California accent....which almost makes the film unwatchable.....still a classic and worth watching from time to time....."EAT MY FUCK"

after being hounded by a friend i finally watched Rampage

going into this i was hoping that he was fucking with me and it would in fact just be a movie about an ape and a sea monster destroying New York....but it wasn't.....i don't maybe I'M getting older but watching mindless violence just is not appealing anymore.....i mean i get his point...and even agreed with some of the thoughts of the main character(s)....but it really seemed like this movie is nothing more than mental masturbation for bullied nerds....whom i suppose are the target audience of any Uwe Ball film....still not horrible....more like stupid and immature

to make up for this waste of brain cells i finished the night with an absolute favorite....Color Me Blood Red

an eye draining account of a peaceful artists decent into madness when he realizes that blood makes the best shade of red for his paintings....."drenched in crimson color" (

)....and in typic HG Lewis style filmed with beautiful voluptuous women in their underwear

.....a classic which should be watched by all

Ugh. I know what you mean about the accent. There's this one kid (with a buzz cut, not sure if you'd remember him) in particular who sounds like a caricature of a southern Californian when he talks. It's awful. The funny thing is that, in all the time I spent in SoCal, I've never heard an accent even remotely that strong. Maybe they were just worse in the 70s and 80s.
