The Creeping Flesh

7/10

Usually you can't go wrong with Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee (greatest speaking voice of all time, and it's only gotten better as he's gotten older), but I must say the best part of this was the ending (I like twists). Although it did get genuinely creepy (no pun intended) at the climax, for the most part it was hampered by a slow pace (though I've seen slower) and a rather cliched/outdated view of the mentally ill as being violent savages (plus Peter Cushing's character's wife seems to go crazy for no apparent reason)...I've known enough mentally ill people to know that's not the case. Maybe I took that part too seriously. But Cushing was good, and Lee...that man never seems to play a bad role. I even loved him as Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannis, and I hated the Star Wars prequels!

Blood Simple - 10/10 (underrated film. My favorite scene is when the bartender finds his boss dead in a chair.. and tries to hide the body and the blood that's all over the floor. really thought that was a powerful scene. Actually the whole sequence is... up to when he buries the body.)

wow, great films listed here, totally agreed with your ratings too.

I just watched THE TABLE. It's an hour of 4 guys beating on a table. It was kinda neat.

Murmer99 · 07.16.2011, 05:50 PM

i'll have to watch a few of those again also. I remember downloading pistol opera about a year ago and it didn't do too much for me. The second time i loved it.. that seems to happen with certain films, they require multiple viewings for me.. kinda like videodrome when i first watched it. (which i now consider a classic).

i have also recently watched Joel Schumacher's live action batman films... i do not really consider myself a fan of his but i personally love both batman forever and batman and robin (i know, i guess i'm part of the minority). Everyone craps on these films but i find them more entertaining than the recent nolan ones. the characters are ridiculous and even cartoonish sometimes (for lack of a better term...) however, that is part of the appeal to me. They're cheesy at times.. evidently. They still captivate me.

and finally, i saw "The Lady Vanishes" and "The Birds" which are both Alfred Hitchcock films. both are definitely worth a watch. The Birds had some very disturbing moments. Watching movies is all i've done for the past month...

i saw four films at this week's film festival

it was really good, but not as good as werckmeister harmonies. i can see why this is going to be his last film. there was a Q&A with tarr after the film. he is really funny and said a few interesting things.

this was really interesting as well. i need to see more morris films. ive only seen this and thin blue line.

this was a really beautiful film. herzog did not disappoint. the 3d looked weird sometimes, but sometimes it worked really well, and really gave the viewer a sense of the space of the cave. and the drawing are amazing

this was a visually stunning film, and for the most part a very good film all in all. the end had some weird symbolic stuff that wasn't that impressive, but i still really liked the film.

I'm really looking forward to seeing that but expect to have a similar reaction.

Annie Hall is like Woody Allen going from the indie scene to mainstream to win himself an Oscar. It's funny but as a fan it's one of my least favorite.
I can think of at least 10 other films by him that I prefer. I think of his mainstream films Play it Again Sam blows it away.....

Scarface - 1983

Still one of my favorite De Palma films, and probably my favorite gangster flick of all-time (either this or Casino - I can't decide). Few characters have captivated me as strongly as Tony Montana has over the years, I might even go by myself a pair of gaudy Scarface pajama bottoms (say hello to my little friend).

But honestly - this film is pure mastery. Much credit to Oliver Stone for churning out the script, some of the best character arcs in the history of cinema. The dialogue feels almost too natural as it rolls off each characters' tongue.

The set design is miraculous. The synth score is genuinely eerie when it needs to be, and a total-80's-club-banger when it doesn't. The chainsaw scene rivals the original TCM in the amount of chills it sends down my spine each time I watch it.

Black Sheep. Still worth it

HenryHill51 · 07.23.2011, 10:37 PM

Watched:

Life Sentence (1977)- Arturo Ripstein made some very bad films in the 70's and some good ones. This is one of the good ones about a pickpocket sucked back into his old ways. Artificial sets and all, still very good.

Of Gods and Men- Meh. I can see why it won its wards at Cannes.

Twilight's Last Gleaming- bootleg copy of Robert Aldrich's nuclear paranoia drama with Burt Lancaster is gruff machismo made like only Adrich can.
