Machine Girl

Holy shit, this movie rocked. I think this ranks up there with Twins Effect and Storm Riders among my favorite bad movies. Although this one was clearly purposely bad.

Congratulations, you've just seen how many cliches that film threw in and ground up for bloody hilarity. Among the few best bad movies, and will follow that up with Bad Taste.

About Schmidt. I wasn't quite as fond of it as Payne's Election and Sideways, but it was still pretty good.

Winter's Light.

Not really sure what to make of these chamber dramas so far...

The movies that I watch in the past week:

Bride of Chucky (1998): It was on FX on Sunday and I had nothing else to do since it was so hot outside. It was the first time that I seen it in years, it's a bad movie but it's fun to watch. Has some good comedy moments and much better then the 3rd movie IMO. 2.5/5

Tokyo Gore Police (2008): I don't know what to say about this movie? I like the action and blood as the next guy but I feel like the used of blood and gore could have been done a lot better. It look so fake looking and it made feel unimpressed by it. Some of parts of the movie where so random that I end up laughing. I feel like that Ichi the Killer (2001) did a much better job when it came blood, and gore. I also feel like that I could not get into the story at all. 3/5

So, I did end up seeing Interstella 5555 one more time. I introduced it to my little brother, who was quite impressed with the film's lack of dialogue throughout. We all agreed that the film didn't need any dialogue, as it would have been the cliched bits of dialogue like "I'll save you!" "You're evil!" and "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" toward the end of the movie anyway. Heck, the film even explains how the villain became so without any dialogue. I defy any other film to do that!

That film introduced me to both Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto. Watching the original Space Pirate Captain Harlock later on, he seems like the perfect person to direct a film with no dialogue: he's a master of broad, operatic archetypes and themes, not dialogue-driven plot.

Sort of like George Lucas.

The gore in Tokyo Police obviously wasn't suppose to look real. The movie was pretty much gore for the sake of gore

The gore in Ichi The Killer actually had a motive.

[Fazmotron]

Watched Ninja Assassin just now, it was... average, very average.

Also saw The Hangover: Part II on Monday, yet another very average film. It was basically the same as the first one, but not as good, and with more dicks. Also had Paul Giamatti in it, so, that's something.

I agree. Most of my problems with George Lucas don't kick in until people start talking, even down to the plot holes. Though, I haven't seen much of Matsumoto's other works yet. So I can't say if he would fail at dialogue as much as George would.

And, to be fair, I don't know how well I would understand the Star Wars prequels without dialogue either. You don't have the red vs blue lightsabers in half of the fights in Episode III making the good vs bad aspect more visually clear, and even with dialogue, people still have a hard time figuring out who's shooting at who in any of those space battle scenes.

I had Interstella 5555 playing in the background again yesterday while drawing on my new shoes. I think some weird form of Stella popped up in my shoe art as a result. Most of everything else on there are my own characters and art styles.

Also, I think I'm finished with this movie for a while. I haven't re-watched something so often since I was a kid watching Jurassic Park.

[Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion]

The 7 Adventures of Sinbad. Good but not great, I mean really Asylum, Sinbad as a business man and not a turkish sailor? Tisk tisk.

[Fazmotron]

Righto, just watched Batman Returns for the first time. I was really enjoying it, right up until the penguin army, then that weird midget-in-penguin-suit funeral procession. Everything else was really quite good though. I especially liked Michelle Pfeiffer's character(s), well portrayed I thought.

[InstrumentalityOne]

Just came back from The Hangover Part II.
The low-brow humor could get a little tedious sometimes, but I liked the setting a lot and the credits were hilarious.

Also, that tranny is an actual porn star.

[Azathoth]

Righto, just watched Batman Returns for the first time.

Yeah, it's much better than the first Burton Batman but the Penguin makes my head hurt every time.

[Bomby von Bombsville]

Peking Opera Blues. This is the essence of 1980's Hong Kong cinema, everything that was great about it, compressed into one spectacular film. One of my all time favorites.

[Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion]

North, see my review topic for details.

The Burrowers: That was actually pretty good. I've always been disappointed by how few horror films exist in period setting - it seems like a no-brainer to me, isn't the past innately scary? But anyway we here have a standard setup of "injuns took our white wimmenz, let's round up a posse and get them back" only it's not injuns but hideous gigantic fleshcricket demons out of the earth. It's not a tremendously great movie but it's certainly better than it might be, a horror film about colonialism, and the monsters are pretty fucking creepy (although towards the end they suffer a little from the worst possible thing that a movie-monster can feel: too much screentime), and the expected WE ARE THE MONSTERS ending doesn't feel nearly as cheap as that ending usually does, mostly because you don't need to look very far into the history of the Indian wars to find out that yeah, we kind of are the monsters. Been a while since I've enjoyed a horror movie that much - although it did give me a trailer for "The Midnight Meat Train", which is apparently by Clive Barker and has such a great name that I absolutely have to see it.

[Twin Drive Sigma Aquarion]

The remake of The Amittyville Horror. Gotta admit, it was great, better than the first three (I need to finish this franchise).

[MugwumpHasNoLiver]

I watched Wild at Heart last night, and I was so desperate to avoid working on my story, that I wrote a review of it for the blog. Haven't done that in awhile, and I doubt I will again anytime soon. Expressing my opinions at length is a pain.

X-Men: First Class

[FreakyFilmFan4ever]

I saw X-Men: First Class as well. Good movie.
