Oh, so I see how mutilating your tongue to avoid your work is an option that makes sense. You're still going to do that, right?

To add to this topic, the last movie I watched was the original Gojira with commentary.

Review the original Godzilla? Is that necessary?

Wow, way too many rules for a thread that should just be fun. I'm not coming into this one again.

Last time I checked, you don't need to read essays in order to analyze a movie, even a movie like 2001.

Then again, maybe you're too lazy to analyze the movie in order to fully appreciate it anyways. Afterall, you'd rather make yourself mute before taking the time to write a speech. ;)

Mike when I created this thread it was a big spam thread so I added those rules too it to prevent people from posting every time they watch a new movie. Yes their are people on this forum that are like that.This was of course when I was a mod so techically speaking my rules shouldn't even apply if non of the other mods or admins want to

The H-Man (1958)
A Honda classic. Nowhere as good as Matango, but the scares are serviciable. Love the horror/detective mix.
4/5.

Mermaid in a Manhole (1988)
Part 4 in the infamous Guinea Pig series. I wasn't really interested in these films, but this one I found it to be fairly competent. It's got some nice atmosophere and gore effects. Sadly its straight-to-video look makes it monotone at times (namely when nothing horrific is happening). Give it a look or two though.
3.5/5.

Gremlins 1 & 2
Both highly entertaining, especially the sequel with its broader variety of Gremlins, and John Glover's terrific performance.
3.5/5, 4/5.
Every film should have at least one animal attack.

The Wedding Singer- I'm a huge fan of Adam Sandler and this is defiently one of my favorites of his films. I would have loved to have seen a sequel to this like it was rumored but oh well still a great film. 9 out of 10

Grandma's Boy- I like it being a video game nerd and all I can get some of the jokes and stuff. Surprised Sandler didn't have a cameo in it like he normally does in films his company makes. 8 out of 10

American Teen- This is a documentary about the life of various teenagers at a mid west school you have your various social classes in there like the popular girl the ackward art girl, the popular joke and the nerd. It was interesting for what it was. 7.5 out of 10

Up Syndorme- A documentary that was filmed in 1999 and released in 2000. It's the story about a film maker chronicalling his best friend who happens to have down syndrome. It was really well done, by just showing home movie footage of how the kid spent his time. Some stuff was sad, while others the kid made you laugh doing jokes and stuff. 8.5 out of 10

Monster in the Closet- Part B-movie, part B-movie parody, all great. I loved this film! It's a definitively a spoof, but a much more subtle on that the likes of Scary Movie and Spy Hard. It had me laughing throughout.

^Did you see that plothole in the beginning of the film? And did the main character look like Clark Kent to you?

Uh, considering the kind of movie it was I wasn't exactly looking for any plot-holes and I'm pretty sure the resemblance was on purpose.

I meant in the beginning with the blind guy, he had a lamp on. And was it just me or did Cloest Monster REALLY not like Crunch bars. :lol: I also think the military had terrible accuracy, making me doubt CM's invulerability.

He also fell in love with the main characters. And the old scientist survived the monster's bombardment too. So, like I said, looking for realism in this movie is kinda pointless.

Still a great movie though. Love the last line:

Saw V- Ugh this series is getting stale fast. The kills wheren't very imaginative and there really wasn't any twists or turns like the previous installments. Thank god the series is ending with Saw 3D supposedly. 6 out of 10

Gamera vs Gyaos- Since we've all seen this before well pretty much all of us I'm just going to comment on the new Shout DVD. It's fantastic. I decided to watch the AIP dub since I've never seen it and I thought it was okay. The print is really great if all you've seen is the Sandy frank VHS tape then your in for a treat it's clean and crisp. Another A+ effort from Shout. It would have been nice to switch audio options on the fly via the Audio button on my DVD/BD remote then again this could have been an issue with my player/remot I was using the PS3 and it's official Bluetooth BD Remote. 8.5 out of 10

Gamera vs Viras- As with Gyaos I'll concentrate on the DVD itself. The print was amazing, again it never looked cleaner. However on the dubb the audio will get really lound in some spots and it does switch over to the Japanese version for scenes that weren't dubbed. I assume the audio issue isn't present on the Japanese audio option. Other than this minor bug the DVD is fantastic. 8.5 out of 10

Saw VI- It was better than Saw V but not as good as the first few. I think they're just making these for the sake of making them now. I'd rate it at 7 out of 10

Gamera vs Guiron- The new Shout disc looks simply amazing. I watched the AIP dubbing again it was my first time seeing it and no they didn't cut the Space Gyaos vs Guiron battle out when that scene came on they switched to the international dubbing which is also present on the disc. But yeah the print used is stunning and very clear. 9 out of 10

Gamera vs Jiger- Again an excellent DVD with amazing picture quality. I watched the Monster X dub (only dub on the disc) and eh it's not that great. Movie is kind of slow paced as well but Jiger is an awesome looking monster with interesting abilities. 9 out of 10

Hybrid- A guy gets wolf eyes transplanted into his body and starts seeing visions of wolves from the pack that the wolf's eyes came from. Pretty stupid in fact the only reason I rented it from Netflix is because I thought it was a werewolf flick and it wasn't. 5.5 out of 10.

Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)
Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. However, I still like this movie for two reasons: It gave us Torgo and an awesome MST3K episode.
I give it 2 Godzilla vs. Megalons out of 6 Super Monster Gameras.

Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)
A bit overrated by some fans, but it's still a good movie. Tsuburaya's effects look great but Godzilla looks a bit washed out during some of the city composite shots. I give it a 4.2 out of a 5

Gamera the Invincible. The cheapo DVD doesn't have the A/V quality of Shout's, but I like this cut of the movie better. I might watch the Japanese Gamera vs. Barugon instead of the English, though.

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009) - This is seriously one of the worse movies I've seen in my entire goddamn life. It's not even the human centipede part... that's pretty interesting. But the movie itself is a piece of shit. It tries SO HARD to be hardcore and brutal, and all it does is come across as a stupid torture porn piece of crap like Hostel. If you think this looks quircky and/or unique, kick yourself in the ass and keep walking. I will not be checking out the sequel. 1/5

Mother (2009) - This was a good movie! From the director of The Host. This was really something. I don't think there's ever been a movie like it before. It's an odd mix of humor and serious business, but it all works out in the end. I need to see more of Bong Joon-ho's movies, that's for sure. 4/5

Tyler - the local radio stations spent like 2 weeks gobbing on about The Human Centipede. It was insane.

I watched X-Men (1999) and it's still inferior to X2, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk. They REALLY dumbed down the characters here....Wolverine was even dumbed down. Sadly, I must put X-Men behind X3 now. Sorry Bryan. 2/5

My brother was SOOO excited about it and it was so funny to see him disappointed about it. It wasn't disturbing or good at all. 5 minutes in and you know it's going to be a piece of shit.

Sadly, I must put X-Men behind X3 now.


God will punish you for this blasphemy.
