Hammer Films had an artist do a brief series in the 70s which were great. Apparently he wasn't given enough time to finish coloring them, which actually adds to the look. Twins of Evil, Vampire Circus, and Hands of the Ripper are the best.

It's more mean-spirited, mostly because that kid is so incredibly awful and you just end up mad at the screen the whole time. However, I'd highly recommend watching the quick montage of the failed attempts at building a second Robocop.
I heard Godmonster of Indian Flats was first on the docket, that deserved a mention! It's a movie about a giant mutant sheep-monster loose in the desert. The climax is so badly done and bizarre it's almost comparable to the end of Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Blazing Saddles.
Naw, that's like a lower tier of something like Evil Dead 2 or Monty Python and the Holy Grail where some nerd you meet in college will probably force you to watch it at some point.
No, it's extremely violent, but there is nothing even remotely approaching the big three gore scenes from the original.
This is probably one of those BS "4 disc editions" where two discs are the DVDs of the same thing that's on the 2 blu-rays, or like those old Disney ones that were "3 DISC" and one was DVD and one was Digital Copy. :P
This all said, there are also some shots like the one where the alien queen gets picked up by the shuttle's folding foot that most definitely could have been improved. I agree this is one of the best effects movies of all time, but occasionally its age and budget does rear its head. Ah well.
Parenthood? Bill and Ted 1/2? The Neon Demon?
Haha, I forgot that was supposed to be a found-footage movie. That makes the scenes with the latino gang even funnier. I loved how they spoke exclusively in english amongst themselves and said the most stereotypical things that someone that's never talked to a latino would think they'd say.
She was absolutely great in Exorcism of Emily Rose. On Dexter, she was usually forced into being an obnoxious loudmouth with horrible dialogue, her swearing felt almost as forced as the majority of Sausage Party. I couldn't stand her most of the time. I definitely remember one episode where I was caught off-guard…
REC 2 has a ton of huge supporters, including many who think it's superior. I'm not a big fan, but it's definitely not a boring retread.
The remake is one of the lamest horror remakes of the 00s, which is a strong statement indeed.
I only know this movie because I was into prog rock back in the 2000s, and the awesomely named (but pretty bad) "Spock's Beard" released a concept album called "Snow" which was about a magical bald albino who visits the big city and is corrupted until he finds Jesus. Obviously, basically everyone who talked about it…
I don't get why that still gets referred to. They released all kinds of mainstream stuff in the Laserdisc days, and then there were a few carryovers at the start of the DVD era (Chasing Amy, Armageddon, etc). There's nothing like that on blu-ray, apart from Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was a case of the…
Yup. There's a clear line from it to all kinds of great films, from Mulholland Dr to Night of the Living Dead. It creates incredible atmosphere considering the budgetary and filmmaking constraints. Their dismissal is very stupid.
Damn! I forgot about that. That's an even more damning difference. I loved the book a lot and really related to the character as a shy bookish type. Like, I wanted to be her!! The movie Matilda, on the other hand, just seemed like a twerp.
The whole tone of Matilda was just goofier, I dunno if the Trunchbull specifically was the problem. I remember being annoyed by Matilda being much more cheerful and smug, and how her powers go from the almost creepy ability to move chalk just enough to make it seem like a ghost had come back to punish the Trunchbull…
Damn, I saw the C+ and was like "oh, this must be a good movie if Dowd gave it that." Then I saw the reviewer name, and all hopes were ruined.
The Shield didn't have a "good" main character for the audience to identify with, though, which is a large part of why it remains effective. Some of the slightly less important characters may be largely portrayed positively (ex, Claudette), but it never really takes their point of view. I wouldn't have it any other…
I like the sequels as much as the first, and I think it's because they actually committed to Franka's death meaning something instead of just making it a temporary setback. It may be fridging, but at least it's not like most cases where the character is just made ANGRY and then finds a new girl in the next movie (or…
