Re: 8 Films to Die For
By stevo20 in HORROR MOVIES 101
"I've seen Unrest and The Gravedancers so far. I was really looking forward to this series of films after watching the trailers. But I was disappointed when I actually saw them. Unrest had a decent plot, but I felt cheated only because I expected much more from it. I felt the same about The Gravedancers. However, The Gravedancers did have some great ghosts that I enjoyed. The biggest problem I have with the series so far is that there was too much hype. I'll still watch the rest of the films, but I've lowered my expectations. If you can, watch the trailers before the film, I'm curious to see if anyone else feels the same. " [More]

The Illusionist ... or The Pres ...

 "Seeing as these two films were released seven weeks apart from each other in theaters it led me as well as many others to question... "When the hell did early 20th century magicians become so popular?" Perhaps the more important question is which is better? Now that I've finally been able to get a copy of The Prestige from Blockbuster I can decide. Maybe that's saying alot about the two films. I was able to rent the The Illusionist no problem when it was released on DVD in early January. However, it took me while to finally get a copy of The Prestige when it was released about a week ago. Although I'm sure the popularity of The Prestige was partially fueled by writer/director Christoper Nolan's involement (Christopher's brother Johnathan also co-wrote the story). Ok ... right off the bat, I've got to say I enjoyed The Prestige much more than the Illusionist. While it's debateable that both of the film's plots are somewhat predictable, I think the ...

"I originally learned about Spout from a glimaWest meeting. After checking it out and making a profile I became very interested. Seeing as I'm graduating in June I figured I would contact them about job opportunities and from there they told me about the open house. I had a great time learning about the company. It was cool seeing you there Vic, small world. " [More]

 "For whatever reason, not many people I know have heard of this movie which surprises me. Especially because I think this movie is on par with a masterpiece like Fight club. Perhaps it's because it was never opened wide release in US theaters. But seeing as how it's been on DVD for about 3 years it still shocks me when people say "The Machinist...I've never heard of it".Trevor Reznik (Christian Bale) is an industrial work who has been having trouble sleeping for some time now. His lack of sleep begins to affect his work and accidents begin to happen which create tremendous tension between him and his co-workers. Slowly Trevor begins to become more and more paranoid of everyone around him. A man named Ivan (John Sharian) begins to follow him around at work yet none of Trevor's co-workers have ever met anyone by the name of Ivan. Trevor begins to search for answers to his madness and an intriguing well written story begins to unfold.Christian Bale's perfo ... " [More]

 "I really wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie. While the trailer will undoubtedly gain your curiosity it doesn't explain much to potential viewers. Black Snake Moan is a "unique" love story about a young southern couple whose relationship gets put to the test when Ronnie (Justin Timberlake) heads off to the Army. While they promise each other that they will do their best to stay together, Rae (Christina Ricci) has a tough time dealing with Ronnie's departure- to say the least.After a party at a friend's house Rae is intoxicated when Ronnie's good friend Gill offers her a ride home. On the way home Gill tries to take advantage of Rae. After Rae fights off Gills attempt he leaves her bloodied and bruised on the side of a remote road. Meanwhile Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) is dealing with the fact that his wife has left him to be with his younger brother. Distrought after this ordeal Lazarus heads back to his remote southern home. After taking ... " [More]
