Get the director's cut!!!
on May 21, 2009
Posted by: redandblack6s
from Winston-Salem, NC
I'm writing this review for two reasons. First, I want to promote Murder Set Pieces the director's cut, which I give five stars!!! Second, I want to discourage people from buying the 'R' version, which I gave two stars and do NOT recommend because of how cut up it was. This was one of the most expensive independent films ever made, somewhere around $2 million. This movie is amazing and deserves to be watched the way it was intended. If you've read any of my reviews, you know that I'm a hardcore movie collector, and there's one thing I despise, that is cut or censored movies!!! Why take a movie that's unrated in full length and intended for adults and cut it up and reduce the rating to 'R', which is for adults?! It doesn't make sense and I'll never understand! Never buy a cut movie! You're only cheating yourself. ALWAYS buy the full length, unrated, director's cuts of films. I highly recommend the full length version of this film, which unfortunately is not available through Best Buy. I do NOT recommend this version of the film!
What's great about it: It's an amazing movie!
What's not so great: This version is too cut up to enjoy!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A one of a kind movie!

As a movie collector, this is one of my all time favorites. I've seen it many times and it gets better every time. However, this movie's not for everyone. If you've ever seen Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, or any other David Lynch film, then you'll understand and respect this film. If you're not familiar with his work, it's very artistic and brilliant. Some people find this film somewhat confusing, even I did the first time. It's the kind of movie you have to watch more than once to understand and appreciate its complexity and artistic value. If you're not familiar with David Lynch or any of his movies, the closest films I can compare it to would be Donnie Darko and S. Darko. If you haven't seen those, then you just need to buy all three, because you're missing out on some amazing movies. Lost Highway is a one of a kind classic! Even the soundtrack was great, it was produced by Trent Reznor (NIN.) I highly recommend this movie! Once you watch it, you'll be thinking about it for days, and you'll probably want to watch it again! BUY IT!!!
What's great about it: The plot, the acting, everything!
What's not so great: Nothing!

This was a great movie, my wife and I loved it! Definitely the best of the Ghosthouse Underground series. This movie was actually a sequel, which I didn't find out til afterwards. So, even if you haven't seen the first one, it won't make any difference, atleast we could't tell. This film was very unique and intriguing. A lot of fun to watch. If you're interested in the Ghosthouse Underground movies, this should be the first one you buy. Another one I recommend is Dark Floors.
What's great about it: Very imaginative.
What's not so great: Nothing!

I wrote a privious review under the regular copy, if you want to read it. I'm writing this review specifically for the special edition, which my wife and I own. I recommend this copy over the other copy for the extened version of the film and the special features. If you're an X-Files nut, as my wife and I are, you'll want this copy. If you're not that big of a fan and just curious about the movie, read my other review and maybe you'll want to get the other one. I hope this and my other review were helpful. I highly recommend this movie in general.
What's great about it: The special edition.
What's not so great: This movie was underappreciated!

First of all, my wife and I are huge movie collectors. We currently own around 2,000 DVDs, including the entire X-Files boxed set with every episode and the first movie. I'm not bragging, just showing some credibility. My wife and I HUGE X-Files fans! We watched this in the theater and again on DVD, and I'm sorry, but we can't figure out why so many people were dissing this movie. All I can think of, is that people set thier expectations too high. I don't know what they were expecting, more about UFOs maybe? I don't know. This makes me think about the last Indiana Jones movie (the Crystal Skull.) People just ripped that apart, and again, my wife and I couldn't figure out why, we loved it. I just think that people set thier sites so high for a sequel of this caliber, and when it doesn't meet their standards, they get all bent out of shape! If you like the X-Files or even if you don't, I still recommend this movie. But, ignore the hype, don't expect the movie-of-the-century, relax, and just enjoy the film for what it is. This is a really good film and deserves to be appreciated. So, if you haven't seen it, watch it with a clear head and make your own judgement. If you don't like it, I'm sorry. If you do enjoy it, as we did, then you 'll understand what I'm talking about. I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: It was great to see Scully and Mulder again.
What's not so great: This movie was underappreciated!

Lion's Gate Home Entertainment delivers one big wallop of a package for Eli Roth's love-it-or-hate-it splatter epic, Cabin Fever. Forgoing the usual over-hyped two-disc "special" editions out there, this lean one disc delivers the all the bloody goods (and then some) for all of you aficionados in DVD-land. As far as extras go, the first thing you have to mention is the five feature-length audio commentaries. Considering how many companies skimped out and just edited together multiple commentary tracks during this time, you have to respect this disc for throwing it all on the line and including all five -- each of which is immensely entertaining. The madness begins with Roth's solo track, which is a doozy! His commentary is never boring and abounds with Tarantino-like references -- the director comes across as exactly the type of hilarious horror geek that the film's hype made him out to be. It's perfect, then, that he's the moderator for the rest of the tracks, including one with the guys in the cast, another with the girls, one that consists of him and members of the crew, and, finally, one just with Boy Meets World star Rider Strong (who, as the DVD put it, talked so much they had to move him to his own track). Amazingly, none of it feels like filler, and with so many moments of brilliance (Roth's call to his old N.Y.U. film professor is genius), the five tracks add to up hours of entertainment for those brave enough for the task. If you hop on over to the special features, there's more fun waiting for you, starting with a brand-new cut of the film called the Family Version (great for a laugh or two), while the Chick-Vision feature blocks the image whenever something frightening is about to happen -- a neat (albeit throwaway) idea that more or less just adds another silly bonus to the list of features. For those behind-the-scenes lovers out there, head straight to the "Beneath the Skin" documentary. Clocking in at 30 minutes, the featurette contains on-set footage and numerous interviews that show off the relaxed set and detail some of the smaller production elements that weren't covered quite as much in the commentaries (though don't be surprised if there's some overlapping information). The Pancakes special feature shows more of Matthew Helms' outrageous kung fu abilities (further proof that Roth needs to shoot an action flick starring the young blonde one very soon), while the Rotten Fruit section has three segments from the hilarious gore-filled stop-motion series created by Roth and Noah Belson. Technically, picture quality is superb and the disc's 5.1 Dolby Surround track (along with the standard stereo track) is equally fantastic, creating depth in the darkest reaches of the score and atmospheric sound mix. All in all, it's a disc worth shouting about, and one that will keep you busy for a long time to come. Also released in a Limited Edition featuring a holographic slipcover.

This is Eli Roth's first full length film, and it's a success! My wife and I loved every minute of it! It's even loaded with special features, like some Rotten Fruit skits which are hilarious! This movie is a perfect mixture of intrigue, gore, and humor. I here there's a sequel coming in late 2009 or early 2010 called Spring Fever, (I'm looking forward to that.) This movie is reminiscent of the 80's gore flicks, like Dead Alive. So, if you like those movies or even newer movies, like Hostel 1 and 2, then you'll love this film. I highly recommend it. BUY IT!!!
What's great about it: The movie, start to finish!
What's not so great: Nothing!

New Zealand's Peter Jackson is known for his skewed, gross-out films. Dead Alive is probably the grossest film he's made, but it's also the funniest, and the unrated, widescreen presentation on this DVD is a sick, hilarious treat. The video quality is superb. The widescreen transfer is clean and colorful. Jackson's steadicam trickery is allowed to make its maximum effect; the camera zips around every nook and cranny of the stylish settings. Colors do seem a bit muted at times, but this only adds to the clean-cut look of the more sedate scenes. The cookie-cutter look contrasts quite fiercely with the graphic mishmash in other sections of the film. Buckets of blood and comic dismemberments shockingly spill off the screen, and the digital transfer never hampers the horror. The digitally mastered sound fits the visuals to a tee. It's a startling, unusual vision done justice by DVD. As far as supplemental material, the package is lacking. A scene index and a theatrical trailer are the only bonus features. The scene index is split into six screens, allowing instant access to 24 chapters (displayed in full-motion video thumbnails). The theatrical trailer is a full-frame, amusing affair that will either win over uninitiated viewers or turn their stomachs. Dead Alive is a disturbing comic gem, given a respectful, yet bare-bones transfer to DVD.

This is a classic film by Peter Jackson. My wife and I loved it! It's actually rated as one of the goriest movies ever made! If you like movies such as, The Evil Dead series, A Cat in the Brain, Cabin Fever, or pretty much any zombie movie, then you'll love this film. If you don't like gore flicks, then why are you even reading this?! I feel this is a must own for horror movie lovers. It's more like a horror comedy, really gory and really funny. I highly recommend this movie. Your horror movie collection isn't complete without this film. Period!
What's great about it: One of the goriest movies I've ever seen!
What's not so great: The acting was a bit cheesy.

Fantastic sequel!!!

I say this one is just as good as the first one, but the first one is a one of a kind classic! But this one follows very closely in its footsteps! I appreciate the fact that they use the same girl to play Samantha Darko and the plot fits in perfectly with the first film. My wife and I loved it! I definitely recommend seeing Donnie Darko first, if you haven't already, or you may be a bit confused. But, I figure, most people at this point would only be buying this because they've seen the first one. So, if you're reading this and pondering on whether or not to buy it, because you're not sure if it will be as good as the first one. I say, BUY IT!!! You won't be disappointed!

Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a bright and charming high-school student who also has a dark and willfully eccentric side; he does little to mask his contempt for many of his peers and enjoys challenging the authority of the adults around him. Donnie is also visited on occasion by Frank, a monstrous six-foot rabbit that only Donnie can see who often urges him to perform dangerous and destructive pranks. Late one night, Frank leads Donnie out of his home to inform him that the world will come to an end in less than a month; moments later, the engine of a jet aircraft comes crashing through the ceiling of Donnie's room, making him think there might be something to Frank's prophesies after all. The rest of Donnie's world is only marginally less bizarre, as he finds himself dealing with his confused parents (Mary McDonnell and Holmes Osborne), his college-age sister (Maggie Gyllenhaal), his perplexed analyst (Katherine Ross), a rebellious English teacher (Drew Barrymore), a sleazy self-help expert (Patrick Swayze), and the new girl at school who is attracted by Donnie's quirks (Jena Malone). Donnie Darko was the first feature film from writer and director Richard Kelly; Drew Barrymore, who plays teacher Karen Pomeroy, also lent her support to the project as executive producer. A director's cut played in select theaters on a limited basis in the summer of 2004, featuring original music cues and trimmed scenes originally in Kelly's first cut of the film.

This is an amazing movie that everyone should experience! You may even need to watch it a couple of times to understand it. This is a bold and daring film that challenges the subject of space and time manipulation. Even though I recommend this movie to everyone, not everyone will understand it. Everyone I know that has watched it has loved it, but a few had to see it more than once. The only people I've heard of that didn't like it are the ones who didn't understand it. My wife and I have seen it more than once and find it just as thought provoking every time. Also, make sure you get the director's cut so you can see it in its entirety. If you do like this movie, I also recommend S. Darko, the sequel, just as good. I hope you enjoy this amazing film. BUY IT!!!

Brad Anderson's psychological thriller Session 9 comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by the director, deleted scenes, an alternate ending, a still photo gallery, and images of the film's storyboards. This is a strong release from Universal that should help the film find a wider audience.

This is a fantastic movie that has gone virtually unnoticed.There's a lot of really good movies that manage to slip through the cracks of the publics eye. This is one of those movies. An extremely twisted and disturbing thriller with some great actors. Keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, and has a great twist at the end. If you've never heard of this movie and are a fan of horror movies and thrillers, you're going to love this. I bought it years ago when it first came out, and I've seen it numerous times since, and it's great every time! If you've never heard of it, it's not a B movie! It has some great actors, such as, David Caruso and Josh Lucas heading the cast. This is a definite must own! Buy it, you won't regret it! My wife and I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: The plot and the acting.
