About what? I have enjoyed similar films in the past, but I didn t care for that one. I found it boring and unoriginal.
Well such as naming all (or even one) of those 'similar' films to Se7en.
There had certainly been serial killer films up til then but I can't remember anything that Se7en resembled, especially In regards to its plot and incredibly well worked ending.
When I first saw it advertised it looked like a generic thriller. Boy was I wrong!
Nothing prepared you for the feeling of sheer dread that permeates the film. From the moment I watched those disturbing titles accompanied by Nine Inch Nails 'Closer' I was hooked.
You're right @DarthDimi Fincher's handling of the material was a fresh and exciting approach to familiar territory.
Yes its familiar territory but its about the atmosphere and two three central performances.
BATMAN: THE MOVIE (1966)
Probably the silliest movie I have seen my whole life, but I do realize it was aimed at little kids, and there are a few absolutely hilarious scenes. Such as the shark hanging on to the "batladder" and trying to get rid of the bomb.
I saw a few episodes of the tv show before, and that was fun enough, but a whole movie is just too much for me.
I totally get that, @chrisisall, and I agree about The Exorcist too. You could've told me the movie was a horror comedy and I'd have believed you. The hilarious nature of a possessed Reagan as she calls the priest obscene and off-color names is more funny and in greater number than the content in the movie that is meant to be unsettling.
I thought this was meant to be a comedy/satire, but that isn t the case. It was just a plain dreadful movie. I had a couple of laughs just the same, but I cannot recommend it. I am shocked to learn it even had a sequel. Well, I am not seeing that.
I've never seen it, but have been thinking about checking it out. Any highlights to mention?
Blacula have also been featured on The Simpsons:
I didn't get the chance to see this in theaters but I almost bought it but I'm glad I didn't not because I didn't like it but because it wasn't as good as I was hoping. It doesn't deserve the hate it gets but it does have its flaws. When it's inevitably marked down at a cheaper price I'll buy it. I would like to see a sequel but I highly doubt we'll get one.
The Girl with All the Gifts
I had never heard of this one until a family member mentioned it to me. I really enjoyed this zombie flick. While it does use the same themes you typically see in zombie movies, it still manages to make them feel original. Parts of it reminded me of the Playstation game The Last Of Us. I highly recommend this one.
Gifted
This Marc Webb directed movie is really good. At times it makes you laugh, mad, and want to shed a tear. Someone once told me Chris Evans needs to stay Captain America for as long as he can because his career will be over if he does. I call B.S. because he has range in his acting abilities and this movie shows it.
I'm currently in the middle of The Lost City of Z but I had to stop it an hour short of it's ending. Once I'm done I'll put up a brief review but so far it's pretty decent.
Might skip this one, then. The clips I've seen doesn't present itself as a romantic horror fantasy at all, haha!
Coming from the talented Ben Wheatley this was a massive let down.
Starts really well with an arms deal being negotiated in an abandoned Boston warehouse during the 70's. Trouble is once the deal goes sour and all hell breaks loose the film becomes a sort of screwball comedy. The action is silly and cartoonish with characters so blasé about getting shot it loses any suspense and any interest you may have had in the characters.
With a sterling cast completely wasted (Sharlto Copley is reliably good) this comes over as a cross between Reservoir Dogs and Shoot em' Up, without ever getting close to being as good as either of them.
From the guy who made the incredible Kill List, this is very disappointing.
Certainly won't be watching it again!
I just hope the cast were well rewarded for all that crawling around in the dirt!
Don't forget the accidental sifting through needles and gasoline!
Did you notice the Batman reference? Just a subtle homage, really.
