burning up inside
I dig my friend Garrett’s review and think it fair.
(though maybe a bit too negative in tone?). (maybe I’m just feeling too positive)
some random thoughts/responses to his points:

random thought barf, which I just attempted to post on netflix: (2,008 characters it seems…):
This is one of those rare movies that is completely transformed by it’s director’s cut.
the theatrical cut is a sloppy mess, but the director’s cut is genius held back by low budget filmmaking.
watching the 30 minutes of deleted scenes on the DVD really doesn’t work. You need to watch them integrated (only possible in the ancient VHS release?). Almost every scene in the movie has had beginning and ending bits chopped off to avoid references to the excised opening scenes.

Saw this flic with my dear ol’ mom tonight. My treat, to help her get her mind off my recently passed Aunt Marie.
This movie kicked ass! I hesitate to say it’s perfect, but can’t think of any specific problem. Maybe some of the “so dark and shakey you aren’t sure what’s going on or where you are” was iffy… but that really worked well with the horror/suspense. Maybe the “audio blast so loud you have to jump in your seat” was too easy… but nowadays this almost seems like painting the sets in oil – it just crafts a mood and elevates the tension. Maybe…? All in all, I think I only hesitate to give it a perfect 5 out of 5 because it didn’t grab me on a personal level. I didn’t really want to be any of the characters. So it was just a kick ass sci fi thrill ride, perfectly executed.
Anywho. If you haven’t seen it, but are considering it: stop reading this and just go fucking watch it. Continue reading “Review: Pandorum – 4.9/5”

People aren’t judging this movie (series) separately from the original(s). It’s a fucking awesome horror movie. Continue reading “Halloween2 Review”
