    Oh Humanoids from The Deep i remembered watching that when i was a kid and creeped me out, i did bought the director's cut Blu-Ray last year and thought it was quite graphic as no wonder it had to avoid an X-rating.

    Battle Royale
    theatrical cut on R1 Blu-Ray: I bought the collection that has both director's and theatrical cuts of this Japanese Sci-fi action masterpiece and the disappointing BR II plus a disc of extras, i always loved this movie since i got the R0 DVD director's cut back in 2003 and one of my fave Japanese films ever and one of my fave Sci-fi films ever. It's the inspiration to Hunger Games, Kill Bill and many more that even Quentin Tarantino approves of it as it's about 9th grade students in the future who are forced by their government to murder each other on an island until one wins the game, gory and violent but with some emotional moments and political satire at that too besides action, it looks terrific in high defintion. A must see!

    Oliver and Company: who remembers this Disney animated film? one of my all time fave Disney films, has a couple of cool 80s songs by Billy Joel who also does voice acting and Huey Lewis. I saw this in theaters when it first came out in the late 80s when i was 7 and i had the merchandise to it including the CD soundtrack which i still own to this day and Mcdonalds toys in my happy meals, a shame it was never released on video for 7 years but it finally did came to video in 96.

    House on The Edge of the Park: A very good, fun if sleazy and violent Italian exploitation movie from the director of the infamous "Cannibal Holocaust" Ruggero Deoato, one of my fave horror films since junior high and it stars David Hess from the original 1972 "Last House on The Left" and Giovanni Rambrace aka John Morghen as its in the tradition of Last House on The Left, Maniac and I Spit on Your Grave.

    The Deadly Spawn: One of my fave Sci-fi horror movies since i was a kid and this looks decent on Blu-Ray, it's very bloody and well made with a creative monster from space in it, i recommend it if you like Sci-fi and horror.

    Critters 1 & 2: I saw both of these in theaters as a kid and loved them, such fun Sci-fi horror comedies with action, suspense, comedy and cool special effects especially that scene where a bounty hunter from space turns into a hot playboy centerfold whom i had a crush on when i was a kid.

    Transformers The Movie (1986): What 80s kid didn't see this one? i saw it 2 times in theaters when i was a kid and i felt sad when Optimus died but it was a great film and still is.

    Cabin in the Woods.

    I liked it, but my wife absolutely HATED it....She was expecting a typical horror movie, and this movie was NOT that. I give them credit for doing something different for a change. I give it an "A".

    Titanic 3D - I cherish this movie for many reasons. Just the experience to see it again in cinema was priceless. Its one of those movies that celebrate everything what is beautifull and worth in making and whatching movies.

    The Grey - not what I expected but still I loved it.

    Super 8 - fantastic movie. I can't believe I missed it on the big screen. J. J. made a really great tribute to Steven Spielberg.

    Goon - not bad.

    Iron Sky. What a great movie! A Sci-fi, comedy, action, parody movie! Now thats got to be a new genre!
    The movie makes so much fun of the American politics, the Nazis, the German language, a bunch of countries including Finland, Australia and North Korea, that it's just hilarious!! :lmao
    It also has clear references to DOTM!! Star Wars and a classic scene from Der Untergang with a PR woman instead of Hitler!
    It's so not a Hollywood production and that makes it so fresh and good!
    So what the script writers in Hollywood should do is what the makers of Iron Sky did. You go to a sauna with a bottle of vodka and you tell each other about dreams that you have had and you develop a movie idea out of that! That way you may end up with getting a brand new fresh idea instead of making a remake of every movie that has already been made!
    This movie is already a cult movie and I can't wait for the Blu-ray release!
    4/5 points!!

    Red Dog - quite literally a movie about a "legendary red dog" in Australia. (about as accurate as the movie Wolf Creek)

    The Avengers is pretty much a classic. I would literally go right back into the theater and watch again.

    It gets 250,000 stars from me.

    Thor and Captain America (getting caught up so I go check out Avengers soon): Both fantastic movies, sorry that I hadn't seen them until now. Think I liked Captain America slightly better, only because I liked the WWII period aspect of it more than the Asgard elements of Thor. but overall the Marvel movies are really turning out great and have got me interested in a Universe that I wasn't really that familiar with. I love the cross-over aspects leading up to Avengers (and beyond I'm sure).

    "Killer Klowns From outer Space"


    This movie still creeps me out. Especially this scene:





    I really hate clowns.

    ooh i love Killer Klowns, one of my fave Sci-fi horror films and i saw that 2 times in theaters when i was a kid.

    Watchmen Ultimate Cut: the best cut to the brilliant faithful adaptation of Alan Moore's classic masterpiece of a comic book series, adds animated Black Freighter sequences to make the movie more like the graphic novel and the film is a frame-by-frame adaptation except it got rid of the silly squid ending, brilliant film.

    The Black Cauldron: Underrated disney film that is different as it's not a musical but a dark and violent PG rated animated fantasy in the tradition of Princess Mononoke, Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice and Lord of the Rings, i saw it 3 times in theaters when i was 4 and enjoyed it, such a fun film that brings back memories.

    The Avengers: Saw it again and it's just that awesome.

    Dark Shadows: I was to amazed and entertained by this movie! I really havent enjoyed so much Burton's previous films, but this one was really good. It had some weakness in the storyline and the adaptation, but everything else compensated those mistakes. Acting was so great, one of the best performances of Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green is magical as always, Johnny was finally less Jack Sparrow. The whole movie is very specific in a certain style and parody of that style so it might appeare a bit strange if you want to take it seriously. But its a Burton movie... so... Also finally some real vampireness on big screen was needed, and who better to potray a 200 year old vmapire than Johnny Depp

    The Vow: Oh I really loved this movie. It has so much heart and soul in it. I really great story about the connection between our decisions and our personality. The assumption if we got a total second chance, would we make the same decisions. I really liked this idea. Also I just love every single on screen minute with Rachel McAdams.

    One Day: really good one aswell. One of those full movies which can tell a story very beutifully from the ebginning to the end and back. Just feels good to the eyes and soul.

    Old Boy: Now this was just wow! There is something about far-eastern cinema that is mindblowing.

    The Battle of Shaker Heights: oh lol, this was some really old movie of Shia's I found in my friend movie collection. He was so baaaad and sooo youuung :lmao But it was really fun to whatch

    Curdled: the most boring un-Tarantino-ish Tarantino film ever

    Battleship. Dumb, but entertaining, and (below) an accurate depiction of the pitch for the movie:

    "Dark Shadows"


    Can't believe how much I liked that movie. Watching the trailers I expected it to be a goofy comedy with a lot of weird Johnny Depp-style make-up and nothing more. Well, I was clearly wrong and in this case I'm happy to be wrong. It was a great gothic tale with a lot of creepy moments and nice twists. It exceeded my expectations and I'll definitely see it again.

    Highly recommended for Tim Burton fans.

    Haven't seen it yet, but according to a buddy of mine* (who's actually Horror Sober on here), the marketing campaign was horribly misleading and underwhelming. Something that a bunch of haters/complainers simply couldn't grasp because they wanted to hate for the sake of hating.

    But yeah, I might see it sometime this week. It's good to see a real vampire on film in 2012.




    *And I mean he actually went and looked up his sources on the internets, and is not some random dude claiming to have connections to the production.

    MIB: 3.
    It wasn't very good, was a bit too long and the 3D was just average and didn't do a damn thing to make it better. If you gonna see it, you can just as well save a couple of bucks and see it in 2D.
