Dark Tales of Japan

Dark Tales of Japan Review



A friend gave this to me as a gift due to the fact that I am a huge fan of Ju-On (The Grudge), and the director of that movie, Shimizu, directed one of the shorts on this DVD. That is what it is composed of: a handful of shorts. Some of them are very good. The rest of them are not so good. However, I even found two out of three of the less-than-stellar shorts to be good for one simple reason: they were hilarious. It's a "so bad it's good" situation here.

Let's start out with the ones I felt were good in the ways that they intended to be. Crevices, in my opinion, is the very best short on the DVD. It's about a man who has to go to an old friend's apartment due to the fact that the friend has not paid rent in three months. When the manager shows him the apartment, the man is shocked to discover that the room is covered in red tape. He takes the tape down and looks around for clues to his friend's disappearance, but it's not long before strange things begin to happen.

Crevices is all about the horror and the fantasy present in the mundane. Zombies and elaborate curses certainly have their place, but what could be scarier than danger attributed to something that is all around you, something you don't even give a second thought on a normal basis? The way the camera is handled really adds to the creepy factor. There are several wonderful shots that really add to the mood. The filming method is simplistic and not at all flashy, which adds to the feeling that there is much to be feared in normalcy. There is at least one moment that WILL make you jump. I promise. The only thing about this film is that you will ask yourself several times, "Why doesn't he just leave?!" The simple answer, my friends, is that then we would have no film.

The other short I really enjoyed was Presentiment. This one is about a man with a plot to steal some sort of sensitive, confidential data from his work and run away. His family is awaiting him to join them on vacation, and someone else is waiting for him too... his frantic, suicide-threatening mistress, whom we gather he is planning to run off with. He gets into the elevator to exit his office building. Inside the elevator are three people: an elderly couple and a young woman. They look a little strange, especially to be in an office building elevator, but at first this does not particularly worry the man. He has quite a bit on his mind already. The elevator seems to take forever, though, and soon enough the tension begins to mount. His ride is far from over, however, and things are only going down from here.

Some people complain about Presentiment's slow pace, but I think the film is very suited to it. It allows the tension to gradually rise and for the viewer to get more and more suspicious about the three passengers right along with the man. It also gives the viewer a sense of what the man must feel- that time in the elevator is stretching out and running in slow motion when he needs desperately to be on the fast track. I also really enjoyed the acting. The three passengers made this short shine, for me.

Now onto the bad. First I'll talk about Blonde Kwaidan, because there isn't really a lot to say. Ironically, the Shimizu film that prompted my friend to purchase for me is the one that stands out as the worst. I didn't even manage to find much humor in this one, aside from one or two lines. It's about a Japanese man on a business trip to America; he is to stay in the house of an executive director from his work because the executive director is on vacation. The man has a great obsession with blondes, and is beside himself with jealousy to see a photo of a beautiful blonde girl he assumes to be the executive director's girlfriend. Soon enough, though, he starts to see things out of the corner of his eye and get the feeling of being touched. I won't spoil the ending for you, but it isn't much of an ending.

Another short is called The Spiderwoman. I loved it. This one isn't good because it's good, but because it tries so very, very hard to be good (and falls flat on its face). Something to keep in mind about the Japanese is that they have many urban legends and creature tales; it's simply a part of the culture. Several traditional urban legends are mentioned, such as the "man-dog", a dog with the face of a man. No, they really didn't make that part up just for the film.

The main focus in this story is, obviously, the spiderwoman. They say there was once a woman who hated spiders despite their helpful nature. One day she was cursed by all the spiders she killed and turned into a hideous spider creature herself. By day she appears to be a normal human, but by night, she turns into the spiderwoman and hunts her victims. The story surrounds the employees of a magazine called Mademoiselle that begins to run stories on the spiderwoman. Response to their stories is tremendous, so they continue to try to find more out about the spiderwoman. Most of the letters reporting sitings seem to come from one area, so they conclude that this is where the spiderwoman must be. One of the reporters goes to investigate, but he disappears. Another reporter goes to search for him.

This could have actually been a pretty creepy story, but it just isn't. The plot jumps all over the place and there are random scenes just to bring up the spiderwoman in different situations, such as how she is said to eat-and-run in a restaurant, and an "example" of how the spiderwoman hunts her prey and how to get rid of her (featuring a random night janitor you've never seen before, and will never see again). Things make very little sense plot-wise and logic-wise, most of the plot twists are pretty predictable, and the reactions people have to the spiderwoman's existence are so exaggerated and unlikely. The effects are on the lower end of alright, but they couldn't hope to save this film. What saves it is that all of this adds up to one HILARIOUS equation. I was laughing non-stop at how overdramatic it was. By the time it was over, my stomach hurt from laughing so hard. It's even better the second time around, because you realize even more strongly just how ridiculous the entire thing is. If you can embrace that, it's great.

The last film is called Sacrifice. It's kind of mediocre, halfway between decent and hilariously bad. This is about a woman who is asked out by a co-worker. She declines him, but finds out that another girl also turned him down and what he told that girl was this: "I'll put a curse on you." Interestingly, the "cursed" girl quit a short time after that. The protagonist starts to find mutilated bugs on her desk and one night arrives home to see a shape in blood (and the fake blood they used was a terrible quality- bright lipstick red) outside her door. Soon after this her mother falls ill and so the protagonist returns home to visit her. She is reminded of the time her grandmother died, at which time she saw a frightening apparition in the room with the shrine to her ancestors.

The story's plot isn't too bad, and the special effects aren't terrible, but it just drags on and in the end hasn't much substance to it. The apparition was really very unecessary and just seemed to be added for extra "scare" value (though I really didn't find it scary... just ugly). The funniest thing about this one is Fukuda, the man who puts the curse on the girl (whose name, you probably have gathered, I have forgotten). He's probably the creepiest guy I've ever seen. If I turned around in the light of day on a crowded street and saw him behind me I'd probably still scream. He almost looks like he would be very mild-mannered, yet he is so obviously a stalker, and obsessed with curses to boot.

So, there's my long-winded review on this not-so-long DVD. Basically, if you're looking for something to scare the pants off of you, to dazzle you with beautiful effects, or to keep you on the edge of your seat with a suspense-filled plot, you might want to keep looking. If you're looking for simple entertainment and want to spend less than ten bucks, I recommend this.

The Alfred Hitchcock Collection: The Best of Hitchcock, Vol. 2 (Vertigo / The Birds / The Trouble with Harry / Frenzy / Marnie / Saboteur / Torn Curtain / Alfred Hitchcock Presents Vol. 3)

The Alfred Hitchcock Collection: The Best of Hitchcock, Vol. 2 (Vertigo / The Birds / The Trouble with Harry / Frenzy / Marnie / Saboteur / Torn Curtain / Alfred Hitchcock Presents Vol. 3) Review



Sir Alfred Hitchcock was trying to make a statement that we as moviegoers are voyeurs and are just as fanatically obsessed by the images on the screen as "Scottie" Ferguson is with Madeleine in VERTIGO. VERTIGO is in effect a movie about people who love the cinema and are captivated by it. Those people who do not like VERTIGO state that it is not realistic and too improbable. That is just the point. VERTIGO is about an artificial world and the fascination of that world. Those who like VERTIGO are drawn to it over and over because it is about something that is inside each of us that is ever so fleeting and will always remain unobtainable. Bernard Herrmann, the film's composer seems to have understood the essence of this film as he captured the erotic passion and ultimate hopelessness of its characters with his haunting score. Herrmann had always expressed his desire to be a symphony conductor, yet the lure of the cinema was more than just a means of collecting a paycheck for him. I think he had a great understanding of the cinema and its power over human emotions, yet it seems to have remained an enigma even for him.
THE BIRDS metaphorically plays out the frailties of the human heart as befuddled humans' fears are visually juxtaposed against hoards of birds gone on a destructive rampage. Humans rebel against nature and each other as the birds represent nature in harmony turned against human progenitors who stand to disrupt harmony. Rod Taylor's solid performance, as the steadfast Mitch Brenner who gradually realizes (but cannot fathom why) that things are beyond even his control, is pivotal to the progression of the story. The importance of Taylor's performance has been long overlooked. This film is a masterpiece full of vivid histrionics running the gamut of human emotions.
"She's wearing my necktie." That's what Alfred Hitchcock said in the trailer for FRENZY as he returned to the United Kingdom to film this movie. Again the wrong man is accused for crimes he did not commit. And so it goes. Barry Foster's mesmerizing performance is both disturbing yet charismatic far overshadowing would be hero Jon Finch. Also Alec McCowen as Chief Inspector Oxford has never been better. The opening shot of London accompanied by Ron Goodwin's score is an instant classic.
MARNIE is one of Hitchcock's masterpieces. It has been highly underrated and misunderstood by viewers and many critics alike. It is not a straightforward narrative as it deals with the compulsive and obsessive nature of its two main characters (Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery). The viewer has to become absorbed and drawn into the film's sights and sounds. The viewer has to elicit from what is seen and heard to fathom the motivations of the film's two main characters. Some of its images are just unforgettable and disturbingly haunting. Sound too plays an important part in the viewer's experience. In accompaniment is Bernard Herrmann's low-key score. I watched this film again several times over. Herrmann's score is always present, yet never intrusive. I used to think this score was somewhat repetitive, but it is quite diverse. It complements the images in such a way that it almost evokes some hidden and suppressed experience from the viewer that creates an emotional bond with the main title character of the film. I found the DVD print to be of exceptional quality and most pleasing in the wide-screen presentation (a prerequisite in this format).
TORN CURTAIN was Alfred Hithcock's 50th motion picture. This film marked a departure from his most recent bulk of films at that time, not in directorial style, but in the absence of many of his close-knit artistic-technical company he had been utilizing. Distinctively missing is collaborator-composer Bernard Herrmann. However, John Addison does a commendable job in Herrmann's absence, as his score seems to fit this film very well with the passage of time. This was a cold war drama set behind the Iron Curtain. The hero of the story as portrayed by Paul Newman is motivated less by personal staunchness for democratic idealism, but rather by his inner confrontation coming to grips with his own failure as a scientist. This very suspenseful film is really about his own redemption for his perceived failure. This film is has been highly underrated.
The Autumnal colors of New England seen in THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY are a beautiful backdrop to this dark comedy enhanced by Bernard Herrmann's reflective score. As life comes full circle the quirkily eccentricities of the human heart take on new meaning as an artist (John Forsythe) somehow, perhaps unwittingly, makes it all come into perspective. THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY is one of my favorite Hitchcock films.
SABOTEUR certainly looks like a forerunner of his NORTH BY NORTHWEST. This WWII espionage tale planted on American soil is an impressive bit of filmmaking from Alfred Hitchcock. He uses his familiar theme of the wrong man on the run from the law and implicated by those who are in fact guilty, our hero Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) must uncover the culprits before they carry out their next act of terror and destruction before he himself is apprehended. Simultaneously Kane must clear himself of the initial crime with the aid of Patricia Martin (Priscilla Lane). Set against the backdrop of that familiar icon of freedom, The Statue of Liberty, our hero must undergo a death struggle both metaphorically and realistically demonstrating that we as Americans value our freedoms as well as all human life no matter how malevolent it be because it is in our nature to go the distance for all that is virtuous in the world. Despite the fact that Alfred Hitchcock stated that it would have been more suspenseful to have the hero dangling from The Statue of Liberty rather than the villain Fry (Norman Lloyd), this scene demonstrates the compassion for humanity that we as Americans hold dear and goes straight to the ideals of the fiber of our inner fortitude to preserve that way of life as Kane struggles to save Fry's life. Otto Kruger's performance as Charles Tobin is very stylistic and on the surface he seems more sophisticated than our earthy hero Kane but Tobin's eloquence is superficial in every sense of the word. Jack Otterson's Art Direction and Joseph A. Valentine's Cinematography are standouts. John P. Fulton's un-credited Special Effects are impressive.

Books, which, conversely, on successful movies and vice!

Who does not love a good movie? These days films are probably the most popular think to say as a form of entertainment that reading, I (probably because I still believe that the world will decide the first reading!). At least we have book-lovers can be sure that the stories are really good, that we can not give birth, are often turned into movies, how great! For example, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells is writing charming, funny, andhonest about alcoholism and its devastating consequences on the life of the child until adulthood. Sidd Vevey and turbulent relationship can easily imagine, and easier to root for a happy ending. This is reading a book and read it yet) the title of the same department (Little Altars Everywhere and Ya-Yas in Bloom.

The film is just as good. Of course, like every true Harry Potter fans say, it is not possible, all the good parts of the book in the film.The best thing we can hope for is an interpretation of our beloved history. Well, the Ya-Ya movie just creating his mother! Sandra Bullock is perfectly cast as Sidd, the daughter of tired but happy. And it has never been better than Live Ashley Judd (young woman) and Ellen Burstyn. Both actresses look flawless live in a beautiful, terrible mother, who celebrated until the end. Finally, the film without sweet portrait of James Garner's Shep would be completeWalker.

So you see, you can. General Ledger can turn into big movies! Of course there are times where there is a large book totally massacred (A Series of Unfortunate Events, anyone?), But is a conversation for another time.

Check out some great book reviews and book combo and fantastic film, you see me

Nostalgia: Black and White Halloween Horror Hits

Nostalgia

When he to the movies with my father in the small towns of Western Illinois
Carthage and Warsaw, I was a little kid, that more than cooking with your promotional ideas on how to brainwash local low-budget horror films that are played you.

The Theater of Warsaw, was a building prefab hut on the main street in a city with two thousand people, overlooking the Mississippi River in 1950 and early 1960, is only open for dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday andSometimes he played a different picture every night. The Woodbine Theater in Carthage, about twenty miles east of the river and with a larger population, has tried to stay open all night, but rarely played until one film a week. The Theater of Warsaw, my father often walked the function room - old movies and new spending, the color of the load with minimum qualification requirements for Category western black and white "bottom" of the film. Sometimes when he answered my prayers, he would run in horror movies, and thiswere the films that I came out of my way encouraged. It was a very small town, so that our limited resources on my left hand a few ways to be creative, sometimes creating views lobby showcase board displays, posters and telephone - all made of cardboard and ink.

Some horror movies of the time, but was equipped with its own advertising - the particular by the director and producer William Castle schlock created. His gimmick was the first time in 1958, aPromo with Lloyd's of London Police, which includes watching the movie bosses in the unlikely event that he or she is scared to death, the macabre.

Garard - 2

Macabre is a low budget but well-paced thriller in black and white with a few shots to the shock of the value of the hand: A bloody corpse from falling into a mausoleum, a model of a corpse with a skull represented a small coffin during a funeral in the evening, his hand on the shoulder of a sudden the doctor whoSearch a cemetery for his daughter to be buried alive. The final solution is perhaps the biggest surprise of all, perhaps because it is entirely plausible. Greedy people, like in the movie House on Haunted Castle Hill, the horrors are real, not supernatural beings. However, the shocks are still in force - at least for the public that) no gore (as in the remake of the film with the same name. Until now, only two films have been remade CastleUpdated with Gore: The House on Haunted Hill and Ghosts thirteen. The young audience of today, tame, at least in America probably find the original versions of movies at pretty .*

Reason ally, if the artist in the Theater in Warsaw, I ordered an extra 8 x 10 stills from the movie National Screen Service and decorated the window of a local pharmacy with a cardboard cut - off from the cemetery. Shooting my tombstone, but delayed the means, when I wrote the names of localGraves. I designed it as a joke, but the black humor (the humor of the disease) is not a.

* In the same year, Hammer Films released their version of the story of Dracula with the title, the United States, Horror of Dracula. In 1958, it was surprisingly tame for some public and others. When I showed the film in 1990 for a class of college in Atlanta, found that slow pace in places and not very scary and disturbing. However, when I showed the film to a group of English literature in China2004 College Girls were invited to class to be returned. They were afraid, and I was shocked by her reaction.

Garard -3

In spite of my art board, but the film has attracted only a small portion of our population. We have previously football competition.

For a Halloween night show a year, two horror father played ice hockey for young people: I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and THE RETURN OF DRACULA. ForThis double-bill the end of 1950, I built a cardboard castle on an exit for the inside of the screen and ran a wire from the projection booth. I hung some of the white sheet attached to a crutch and a chain attached to the hall. While a highlight of this film, I was out and pulled the rope in the hope that the spirit in the upper part of the audience to make. The mind is stuck out the window projection booth for the signal, but the hanger in half way. I tear the boxString and breaks, so that my deus ex machina that is more than the public before the end of the projection, if in the auditorium, my attempt revealed trick.

More success has been my huge spider by Plain White made the son that I draped over the doors and a single sheet and 14 x 36 frames in the lobby.

Both ERO and Frankenstien A rapid return of Dracula in accordance with their own internal affairs - the use of color in the otherwise black and white film. A recall in May, as soonColor segment was in the 1940 film The Picture of Dorian Gray and his portrait of Jenny, used in any case, was only shown a portrait of the title character with the color in sharp contrast to the rest of the film. Both plans are included in the price is very effective. Less can be said that the use of color in these visits Halloween. In the movie Frankenstein, is the color only at the end when the monster is used even destroyed by shock therapy. The scene is not shocking, so surprising (as inWhy?).

Garard - 4

The film Dracula, a film much more frightening (because of the skillful direction and editing, no fireworks inside) the use of color to the end where the vampire hunters to participate through the heart of the journey for woman vampire. Color white from a wound in the heart of this film is in black and be more effective than a shocking contrast to the sudden jolt of color in The Tingler Castle used match, shows a bathtub full of blood and a human arm to reach womenThis is the fear of death at the sight of blood.

In 1960, the news of Nicolas Gogala "The Vij" has developed into one of the Italian horror-film shock for shock-director Mario Bava. The film has been in the United States as "Black Sunday" released (and the mask of Satan in Europe). Black Sunday was then as the title of a film by John Frankenheimer, with the attempt to pre-9-11 terrorist offers that are decimating football a stadium full of fans. The first was published by Black Sunday "American-International Pictures, a company to produce their own household is known, but highly recommended quickies like I was a teenage Frankenstein.

1960 Black Sunday, however, other formulas Flicks for children of different At the Drive-In. Clever, if self-conscious camera work slowly with a variety of strokes and focusing our attention on the field of discrete wiring, life in Gothic black and white, some scenes Stark accurate picture as somethingshown in Antonioni's L'Avventura, while others use blur to create a nightmare world. It's almost a textbook example of the Gothic style: black Kaputzenkutte implementation witches, manned by a peak form before the titles are not as yet known, paintings and change the rotation on secret passages, trap doors open to show the long spines, garage below, lanterns floating in the air, found his body hanging in the hallways, and large bats flying around theCrypt.

Garard - 5

Barbara Steele, in the nightmare of many Italians (and also found in the films of Fellini's 8 ½ reference) and Roger Corman The Pit and the Pendulum, plays two roles in "Black Sunday", a witch in the sequence before the title and led a beautiful princess look -alike threatened by their ancestors witch who accidentally brought back to life. When is the witch who put the lives of two hundred years after his execution, his handsome face and the face of her vampire lover, itcovered with holes through the points made in the mask. A doctor visited his grave discovered covered his coffin and unwittingly breaking the glass on his mask, the face by an excellent alternative to bat. He cut his hand on broken glass, creating a chain of improbable events: blood dripping from his neatly arranged in the orbit of the Witch-side, the cross was inadvertently destroyed on his coffin, and his coffin was broken open as if dynamite.

The zoom lenses are used effectivelyall - an unprecedented feat in itself, because the temptation is to overuse of the lens is something that the Italians were famous for in later films. When the witch vampire lover, slips into a room, the father of Princess innocently holding a cross. The camera zooms in on the cross, and the vampire was rejected, the camera zooms in on the door closes slowly behind him.

The biggest weakness of the film is the work badly dubbed dialogue, reminiscent of a small town theaterDrive-in audience that can not be the presence of the British Barbara Steele, John Richardson, representative of the Russian characters with long names hide the fact that it is an Italian film. At that time little by little the long series of films in color from stories by Edgar Allen Poe has suspended when would be the distribution of foreign and black and white images have been relatively disappointing. Poe film does not need ballyhooing, but also for Black Sunday, I took the picturesPrinted register and add them on board of large posters with my letters, by hand.

Garard - 6

An American film produced for many years before Black Sunday and backed up by the brainwashing of the habit - the title and the ads have little to do with the content - was the ultra-low-budget Roger Corman film The Undead (1956). For example, the title would not be that there is indeed a kind of time-travel movie, one I showed in a science fiction time travelClass.

Once again, the witches in his hand. Instead of sending Spike occupied masks, however, by a muscle (but still hooded head) Executioner. The readers of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" may be surprised to see Satan to perform in an orgy of dance Walpurgisnacht body and soul-trading.

Horror Movie - Hollywood Classics and Modern Updates

The horror film: Either love or hate. For a horror movie fans heart palpitations, ie edge-of-your-seat excitement, while non-fans equate a horror movie with his hands over his eyes and a "do not wait for this thing to more" feeling. One thing is certain: You want to not only watch a horror movie.

The Classics

The horror genre is the classic full, but these are our favorites for horror movies that never get old:

1.Frankenstein - The 1931 classic with Boris Karloff as the monster and Colin Clive as the obsessed scientist Dr. Henry Frankenstein will always be cited as the best film of all time fear. Best line of the movie? Bones of Frankenstein tingling cry: "Behold, He is running .... It's alive. She is alive, alive, alive alive!"

2. Dracula - Another classic horror film released in 1931, played Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula in the movie "Dracula". This is Bela Lugosi'sCooling, as the title character that is timeless in this film. Best line of the movie? "I am Dracula. I welcome you."

3. Psycho - The shower scene with Janet Leigh is forever in the minds of those who in this 1960 Alfred Hitchcock classic etched look. Even today, Anthony Perkins Norman Bates and Vera Miles as Lila Crane makes the goose bumps. Best line of the movie? Scream Janet Leigh, of course. Second best line? "Said Norman Bates"Mom ... What's the word?" It's not really her today. "

4. Peter Cushing films tell - some that Peter Cushing has seen the best player in the horror genre has ever. Published in almost 60 horror movies, his successful films as "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors," "The Evil of Frankenstein," flows "Scream and Scream Again" and "The House of the blood.

5. Christopher Lee movies - with more than 90 scary movies of his claimfor some people, Christopher Lee defined the genre. From "The Curse of Frankenstein" and "Dracula" to "The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll" and "Theater of Death", Christopher Lee scared generations of viewers.

The next generation

The next generation of lines of scary movies, blood in the cruel nail-biting tension to this malaise in the lower stomach, like, screaming at the screen: "Do not open this gate!" Some of our favorites:

1.Halloween - Hair never feels safe after this classic John Carpenter. Guided by some as the best slasher of all time, "Halloween" has the debut of Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode marked. Best line of the movie? "Two roadblocks and an all-points bulletin would not stop for about five years."

Film 2 Books by Stephen King - Stephen King's sometimes so much fear that you can not bear (to turn the tide but you can not bear not!). FilmAdaptations of his books bring the horror to life. When Sissy Spacek as Carrie White get the ultimate revenge PROM or Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes, stalking James Caan as Paul Sheldon in "Misery", horror film based on Stephen King books, and heart-in-your-throat terribly. And some, like "The Shining", an exciting story with the skill of director Stanley KUBRIC combined may produce the terrifying films of all time.

3. Friday 13 - GoodSome dispute the quality of the film - and certainly its consequences, "Friday the 13th" remains a classic. Published in 1980, this horror film set the bar for slasher films. Best line of the movie? Betsy Palmer: Pamela Voorhees, said: "She dropped him. Have you ever taken out. Look at what you've done for him. You see what you have done for him." Horror Movie Cinema - scary or in general - are very popular. From the early classic "The Amityville Horror"and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the genre really is something for everyone. Or at least someone loves, the roller coaster ride that adrenaline has a great horror film.

It Skulk a mysterious town, which we thought was empty, but when night falls, he pulls out of the evil creatures that are only imposed for sadistic torture. The dark, in contrast to the normal world that rules the night, just so unpredictable intervals, light after a few hours.

Movies Miami Style: The Magic City

Miami might not like Los Angeles or New York, cities where movies are continuously switched on every corner. Miami, but has certainly had its fair share of the recording. Perhaps it is chosen for the plot, and was probably chosen because of its location (it is difficult to shoot a beach scene in Nebraska). Whatever the reason for the occurrence of Miami in Florida shy to approach other cities, cinema links and ask for an autograph. What follows is a brief list of MiamiBorn moments of the film:

From Justin to Kelly: How Miami offer than any other city in America for the rites of the film is beyond me. Joking aside, the tender for this war, it must be with bids for the Olympic Games or the Super Bowl was. Film with the first winner of American Idol runner-up, From Justin to Kelly was enough to go to someone from nausea, vomiting. Yes, he was seriously ill. I have a long discussion about the plot, but it was not true.Suffice it to say that throughout history there have been only sing and clap their legs to the same choreographed routine .... When dancing in a scene with towels. That, in short, it was magical.

There's Something About Mary One of the funniest movies: always hit on the screen, the movie offers Cameron Diaz as Mary, a young girl that men were ready to go up to impress. These great lengths stalking, spying, represented wearing a fakeBritish accent. Ben Stiller plays Ted, a clumsy but a nice man, a lover of Mary, a man who wants to impress, but it seems a bit "less psychotic than the rest of his comrades. A definitive sleeper hit, this film has unforgettable moments moments of laughter. It also makes us look different, for a good hair gel.

Scarface: Sometime in 1980, almost all boys in adolescence had a poster of the film on the walls of the room. It is a story of Tony Montanawith Al Pacino, who comes to Florida as a Cuban refugee. After a gangster, because the cocaine boom of 1980, rising to the surface world of organized crime in Miami before it. Originally published little fanfare, Scarface has since become a cult favorite and one of the most popular film of all time, has never left the cinema amateur spirit of her friends.

Bad Boyz: The movie that we all ask, what is left "gonna do when they come to you, "Bad Boyz features Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as two Miami police detectives. were stolen by 120 million in drugs, two detectives were able to receive medication back or lose their jobs. They fight and quarrel among themselves, But their love is real, what are the pair compared to those of the Lethal Weapon and Starsky and Hutch. Even if the movie is based hair - like police dramas are often - andfun, fast, and the effect is difficult to pass. This video has a sequel, which was filmed in Miami.

Any Given Sunday: One of the most action-packed films of calcium, Any Given Sunday features a stellar cast of actors and professional athletes. With a part of the movie filmed in Miami was the Orange Bowl stadium disguised as a game at home for a fictional football team, the Miami Sharks. Al Pacino has an intense workout while Cameron Diaz is the owner,and not very much in agreement. Football film is very different from those reassuring as Rudy and The Replacements. Instead, show the inner workings and politics involved in managing a team of professionals.

20 films to watch out for the year 2006

Now that 2005 is over and all have shown), their list of the ten best (or at least a preliminary version, it is time to prepare for what we see in the theaters this year. There are many films to come and help you on your way, here is my year only (the second time coming but still) Top 20 coolest movies!

20. X-Men 3

Seconds, the X-Men movie is still one of the best films of the super heroes of all timebut it was an ingredient missing: Bryan Singer. What I heard so far on ideas for the franchise to Brett Ratner has not made me really excited, but the first teaser trailer was pretty cool. We keep our fingers crossed, hoping that Ratner will surprise us, after all.

19. Click

Adam Sandler movies are a bit hit and miss, but has a few things for him. First: Kate Beckinsale is in it. Second: And so Christopher Walken.And third: the story is pretty cool because he is a man who finds a remote that allows him to zoom in and out of the moments of his life. This is a great show, starts up the remote control, a certain life of their own. Adam Sandler and the concept of high normal works quite well, so this could be really fun.

18. The Return of Zoom

Last year, the successful teen Superhero Movie "Sky High" came, and this year sees another superhero movie adolescents. Tim Allen plays a superhero who had consumedcalled into action to a group of superheroes at a private academy kid form. Yes, it sounds very familiar, but Sky High had a great time then we will perhaps again luck with that.

17. Mission Impossible 3

Is the annoying person of 2005 (from viewers around the world selected) back in his high-profile action franchise. But it's a hat trick from Tom Cruise? The first was very good, the second dissapointing, it directly by Lost JJAbrams could make a return.

16. Marie Antoinette

The director of my favorite film of 2004, Lost in Translation turns on the big screen with this stylized account of the life of Marie Antoinette, a simple girl from Vienna who became queen of France in 1774. A story of Rags to Riches? Yes, but it's a shame that she became queen a few years ago all the beheaded French were real ... Sophie Coppola directs Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman inthis.

15. Benchwarmers

Dragons. Cool!

11.Cars

Typically, Pixar is a guarantee of quality, but this time I am a bit "more cautious than usual. The trailer was not so hot, and going by the fact that the film has been delayed by Pixar this year, not even good to know. Although Pixar that the extra time was well spent. I would not be surprised if in the end take place is in a 5 star after all.

4. Nacho Libre

The DirectorNapoleon Dynamite is with this film about a Mexican priest (Jack Black) and at night wear the mantle Lucha Libre wrestler to raise money for the delay. I do not know why, but this film, as it may sound like the funniest thing on ... Well ... Napoleon Dynamite!

The Fog (Widescreen Unrated Edition)

The Fog (Widescreen Unrated Edition) Review



Despite what critics and fans have said about "The Fog", this film is a great remake of a classic horror film. It isn't Oscar material, but what scary movie is. It is meant to be fun and campy and I actually enoyed it. I will also admit I am a huge fan of Tom Welling, and there is a great scene in the film where he takes his shirt off: that is worth the price of the movie.
The film basically follows the same plot as the original in which a huge fog bank descends upon Antonio Bay and all hell breaks loose. Lots of surprise elements are included, and there were many times I jumped while watching it.
The DVD has some great bonuses, including commentary by the director, deleted scenes, and a great documentary on remaking a classic.
When the new version of "The Fog" came out in 2006 it debut at #1 at the boxoffice, eventually accumulating a gross of over 26 million dollars: someone liked it!
Sit back, make some popcorn and enjoy a great, scary film.




The Fog (Widescreen Unrated Edition) Overview


A THICK FOG ENSHROUDS A COASTAL TOWN. THE FOG IS REMINISCENT OF ONE 100 YEARS EARLIER THAT WRECKED A SHIP & DROWNED THE SEAMENABOARD. SURE ENOUGH, THE SAILORS ARE BACK & OUT TO KILL WHOMEVER THEY FIND.

Movie Review - Paranormal Activity

The fascinating story of ghosts, paranormal activity is not new to the scene of the film. Katie and Micah are a young couple, jumping into the water to movetogether. It does not take long before they begin to experience some paranormal activity in their home country. The lighting and the fountain itself on or off and slamming of doors without any explanation. Katie then throw some "light prosecuted to the situation that was brought by a spirit, since his 8 years. The couple seeks the advice of a psychic and terror begins to develop.

This arrangement does not differ substantially from the spirit of the hunt for the drama that you could flip to midnightSci-Fi Channel, but the brilliant direction, is one of the best horror hit of all time, the benefits of our inner fears about the reality, not the possibility of ghosts. Paranormal activity triggers fear with the fear of a report that the panic of a major change in life takes a wrong direction, and this sounds familiar or unexplained cracks everyone tries to ignore it.

As in the famous The Blair Witch Project, is the startingthe authentic atmosphere, Paranormal Activity shown. The ghosts and fears are not above the lines, but they are anything but trivial o. And in the end, damn you Christmas is the end of this world. You can go home suspected leaky faucet, every closet door, you go left to open, and all the flickering light is the work of your personal obsession.

See the movie on the big screen, my little poltergeist INTERWEB. And, if possible, sits between two of the sweetest men gaythe world when it comes. I did. And I had the time of my life.

Friday the 13th, Part 2 [Blu-ray]

Friday the 13th, Part 2 [Blu-ray] Review



Alright i need to counteract some of the negative reviews on this. The picture quality is PHENOMENAL!!! Whereas the blu-ray of Part 1 is overzoomed-in, this actually shows more of the picture than the previous DVD releases. I think they did a great job on the transfer...the only grain I see is the original film grain from the low-budget cameras they used back then...it looks the way it is meant to look. I absolutely loved it, and found myself saying numerous times during the movie 'this looks SOO AWESOME!!!' And I am as critical as they come, I can assure you.

The special features are decent...aside from the Lost Tales from Camp Blood short film crap--those are all just pitiful and should be destroyed.

Otherwise my only complaint is we need a director's cut of this one...there is some really great footage missing here...I know we've been saying it for years, but man oh man, add that to the awesome quality of this BD, get rid of the Lost Tales crap, and I'll buy it again.

Or even something like what they did with 'Slashed Scenes' feature on the DVD of Part 4...they basically gave you every bit of film that wasn't used surrounding those death scenes as an extra...no audio or color correction or anything, but great quality and it's all there. I was actually able to splice in some extra gore, color correct it (the best I can with what I have), do some audio-looping & editing tricks, and make my own director's cut of it in Windows Movie Maker. I would love to do that with Part 2!!!!

However, I am appreciative for what we got this time...far better than any previous release, and the picture quality makes it worth every penny for me.

John Carpenter: Master of Fear Collection

John Carpenter: Master of Fear Collection Review



Will the real John Carpenter step forward? Is he the diabolical, masterful horror trailblazer who made Halloween and The Fog, or the sardonic, self-aware b-movie cheese-slinger who made Escape From L.A., Ghosts of Mars, and Body Bags? What makes this collection so good is that it not only represents some of his biggest and best, but you can almost see the transition take place. Carpenter is in top form with The Thing, a gripping, atmospheric feat of pure horror. Prince of Darkness is somewhat of an experimental film, with little in the way of special effects, a relaxed and naturalistic pace, and perhaps even heavier on the atmosphere, complete with a strange, somewhat elliptical tale. While it has its moments, Village of the Damned seems to be a misstep, and while Carpenter seems to handle this movie with a straight face, the subject matter is ultimately too meager and silly to make it a worthwhile watch. Thankfully, Carpenter remedies this disjunction with They Live, helming a far out, 50s pulp era story and giving it both the seriousness it needs for us to connect with it while also ensuring hammy performances and exaggerated visuals as a counterpoint.

The four movies are collected on two DVDs, and thankfully, they're one-sided discs with artwork instead of those abominable flippers. We get The Thing and Prince of Darkness on the first disc, with They Live and Village of the Damned on the second. All four movies are in Widescreen, but that's all you get here. There are no special features of any kind, not even any trailers. In fact, there aren't even chapter selection options on the menu screens, so if you want to get to a certain point in the movies, you have to play them from the beginning and then skip chapters from there.

Thankfully, the packaging makes up for the threadbare content. This four movie set is contained in a standard size, clear 2-DVD case with 2-sided artwork, although the inner artwork is pretty plain. This is topped with a slipcover that has the same cover art but highlighted with iridescent ink that lends some beauty to the horrible images imposed there.

So, is this set worth it? Chances are, if you're a fan of the man, you already own most of these, and the lack of any special features really degrades the value of this set. But, if your Carpenter collection consists of The Thing and Halloween, this inexpensive, compact, varied array of movies housed in a handsome package is too good to pass up.

Thanks for reading.
