The Descent: 9/10
Fucking EXCELLENT movie. I'm taking one point away because the UK ending is better.

Michael Caine does makes a better Charlie than Marky Mark, but just barely.

it's required viewing in english schools, very few of us grow up wanting to be astronauts.

It was more than derivative - it was a rip off an older movie.

(haven't seen either, and haven't heard updates on this issue)

lol reads like an ad:

1979's "Clonus," aka "Parts: The Clonus Horror" available on DVD from Mondo Macabro, $19.95..
also, it's been over a year and i can't find anything regarding an injunction. i certainly agree with the Logan's Run ripoff though - and it was a better movie.

OMG! I've actually seen Clonus! How could I have forgotten that utter travesty of a movie? I now re-rate The Island at -2/10, simply because they remade a movie that MST3K trashed.

If you didn't laugh at Zoolander, you have no soul.

Fucking Dutchees and their no sense of humor culture. :icon33:

Benchwarmers 5/10 Some hilarious parts, but it tried way too hard to be a touchy-feely 'let's be nice to nerds' movie.

I'm guessing the US ending is the happy one (cutting out the very last part)?

I not only laughed myself completely silly at almost every scene, i bought the DVD and saw it again, and then again for good measure.

Fucking yanks and their other-nationalities-lack-soul culture. :icon33:

PS i do rather think Wilson and Stiller appeal to a certain sense of humour though, i've heard from more people how they didn't like it.

'there is no spoon'
cracked me up

gory as fuck tho. really didn't need to see a guy stuffing his own intestines back into himself

jesus... sounds like some of the scenes in dead presidents.
two nasty ones i remember:
* guy stuffing intestines back in
* guy dead with his cock in his mouth

that may have also been the movie where the dude carries the head around until its nothing but a rotten mass.

Just saw it tonight and it didn't have a happy ending, so I wouldn't know the difference between the endings.

It was pretty cool - 8/10. One of the few movies I'll complain about being too short.

Edit: Talking about the Descent.

yea - woulda been nice if it had been a tad bit grittier, but not a bad flick. Felt too "overproduced" or something, i dunno.

I was really hoping that movie was scarier, but I saw in in the theatre and it was hard to get scared when the mutants look like the guy from the Goonies.

Made in britain. 10/10

Just added it to my Netflix queue. =)

Last movie I watched was Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. 8/10

Funny movie, although Robert Downey Jr's coke headed narration got old pretty quick.

The Descent. Spooky good. 8/10. Had nothing to do with the book (-2).

Post by **StarShrieker** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 6:13 am

okay, so I'm still a little buzzed, maybe drunk...I just ordered Hills Have Eyes (uncut), and I was fairly entertained. Obviously, if I hadn't been drinking I would have paid more attention and have more put-together thoughts, but all in all, the semi-intelligent zombies seemed to be entertaining. I'm sure if I watched it again I'd be disappointed, but all-in-all I was entertained. Maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10?

A couple cute girls (yea yea one died) plus "thinking" zombies + alchohol = that score.

Before that, the only movie I've seen in the past month or so was X-Men: III, which was more entertaining than I had expected. Probably about a 7 or 8.

Yay alcohol, and even then not enough

Post by **Jackal** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 2:16 pm

The Hills Have Eyes had no zombies in it moran.

Post by **MKJ** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 3:12 pm

Clerks II. 7/10

it started off very bumpy, but once the actual 'story' kicks in the cutnpaste coherence of the first 20 minutes are almost gone.
Elias was a great addition to the cast, and Rosario Dawson also did a great job being the serious-yet-fits-in-with-the-rest boss.
Jay & Silent Bob were totally useless in this movie (apart from the end plot) and felt like they were spliced in postproduction, just because the audience expects J&SB. Kevin Smith failed in his Silent Bob char this time, trying to act too much as a mute rather than a guy that just doesnt talk.
Also, the end lines felt very very forced.

But, some great scenes in there, and while I thought most joke scenes fell flat, the movie kept me entertained all the way through.

There's only one Return, and it aint of the King, it's of the Jedi

(randall got fucking chubby btw)
