Excellent movie!!!
on July 22, 2009
Posted by: redandblack6s
from Winston-Salem, NC
This is an absolutely amazing movie, my wife and I love it!!! After a lengthy discussion with my wife, we have to place this movie in the same category as Batman Begins, Dark Knight, and Sin City. Yes, it's that good! From the imagery, to the acting, to the special effects, everything was amazing! One thing that impressed me was the character depth, I'm big on that. The director, Zach Snyder (300, Dawn of the Dead), is starting to make a name for himself. This movie is very powerful and extremely entertaining. Aside from the three films listed above, this is the best movie I've seen in a long time. I can't say enough, I highly recommend it! If you don't like this film, someone should poke you with a stick to make sure you're alive!!! (Also, look forward to the Ultimate Collector's Edition, coming in Dec.)
What's great about it: The director's cut, best adaptation!
What's not so great: Not enough stars to rate this movie!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great action movie!

This is a fantastic movie, my wife and I loved it! We're huge fans of Frank Miller (Sin City, The Spirit), and it was directed by Zach Snyder (Dawn of the Dead). This movie is based off of a graphic novel which is a fantasy take on the real battle of Thermopylae. It's part fact part fiction. The imagery in this film is amazing! This movie is action packed and very intense. There's not a whole lot I can say, that hasn't already been said. Everyone I know loves this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on a very exciting and very artistic film. My only complaint was that I thought they went a little overboard at times with the slow motion sequences, but I know they did it for the artistic value of the film. Aside from that, I highly recommend it! Also from Frank Miller, I recommend Sin City and The Spirit.
What's great about it: The plot, the acting, the special effects, everything!
What's not so great: They went a little overboard at times with the slow motion sequences.

This is a great movie, my wife and I love it! It shows you ins and outs of gun and weapon selling, and where and how other countries get thier weapons. Even though this movie has some dark comedy, it still makes powerful statement. I highly recommend this film! Also, some other good Nicolas Cage movies to come out recently are Next, Bangkok Dangerous, and Knowing.
What's great about it: Nicolas Cage.
What's not so great: Couldn't find anything.

Great remake!

This was a great movie, my wife and I loved it! Nicolas Cage is at his best. This movie had a great plot, reminiscent of films like The Professional and The Jackal. Very fast paced with lots of action! My only complaint was the ending, I understand it, I just don't like it. (But, that's my opinion.) I highly recommend it! Also, a couple of more recent Nicolas Cage films that were just as good are Next and Knowing.
What's great about it: Nicolas Cage.
What's not so great: Didn't like the ending.

This was a great movie, my wife and I loved it! Anthony Hopkins is brilliant in this film! In fact, the whole movie is brilliant! This is a top of the line psychological thriller, keeps you guessing till the very end. I highly recommend it! Also, as fans of Anthony Hopkins, some of our personal favorites are The Edge, Instinct, Amistad, and of course, at the top of the list are the Hannibal Lecter films!
What's great about it: Anthony Hopkins!
What's not so great: Nothing!

Great horror movie!

This was a great movie, my wife and I loved it! We're huge Dario Argento fans, so we new this would be good. Plus, it stars Meatloaf and has a cameo by John Saxon. This movie has a twisted, unique, and darkly humorous plot. I highly recommend it! Also, another Masters of Horror film from Dario Argento is Jenifer.
What's great about it: Dario Argento!

One of the best in the Masters of Horror series!

from Winston-Salem, NC
My wife and I loved this movie! We're huge Clive Barker fans, and were excited to find out this was based off of one of his short stories. Plus, it's directed by John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer). This movie has a twisted, disturbing, yet intriguing plot, as you would expect from Clive Barker. This was a really good movie, I highly recommend it! And, you may want to check out Valerie on the Stairs, also based on a Clive Barker short story.
What's great about it: Clive Barker!
What's not so great: Not long enough, I wanted more!

Great horror movie!
on July 20, 2009
Posted by: redandblack6s
from Winston-Salem, NC
This was a really good movie, my wife and I liked it. My favorite was John De Santis, who plays the giant killer. (You may remember him from 13 Ghosts, he played The Giant.) This film was directed by Don Coscarelli (Phantasm), and even has a cameo by Angus Scrimm (the Tall Man from Phantasm.) This was a good slasher film, but the plot's a little weird and it ends rather abruptly. Other than that, it was pretty good. I definitely recommend it! Also, some other good ones from the Masters of Horror series are Valerie on the Stairs, Cigarette Burns, Pelts, Haeckel's Tale, and The Fair Haired Child.
What's great about it: John De Santis and Don Coscarelli.
What's not so great: The plot's rather confusing and it has an abrupt ending.

Good horror movie.

My wife and I really enjoyed this one. We're fans of Stuart Gordon, we love all his movies. Where as I wouldn't say it's his best work, it was still very intriguing and entertaining. I definitely recommend it! Also, some other good ones from the Masters of Horror series are Valerie on the Stairs, The Dream Cruise, Cigarette Burns, Pro-Life, and The Fair Haired Child.
What's great about it: Stuart Gordon.
What's not so great: Not his best, but still good.

Stephen King puts pen to paper and paper to celluloid with the spooky haunted house TV movie Rose Red. Lion's Gate's work on this 1.33:1 full-frame transfer is great, sporting solid colors and dark black levels. While there are quick moments where the image tends to appear a tad soft, overall this is a very nice transfer with a pleasing appearance (especially for a TV movie). The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround in English, French, and Spanish. This 5.1 soundtrack is very well-mixed with a multitude of eerie, atmospheric sounds to scare even the most steel-hearted viewer. No distortion or hiss was detected in any of the dialogue, music, or effects. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles. This two-DVD set includes a very nice array of extra features, starting with a commentary track by director Craig Baxley, producer Mark Carliner, and a few brief appearances by some of the crew. This is a very long and engaging commentary that slows down a bit at the end, though overall, there are some interesting and informative stories to be heard. A 50-minute documentary titled "Bad House: The Making of Rose Red" is in-depth and features interviews with cast members Nancy Travis, Julian Sands, Matt Keeslar, Judith Ivey, and Melanie Lynskey, as well as author Stephen King. This feature chronicles the film from development to production to airing and should give viewers a better understanding of how it came to the screen. "Unlocking Rose Red: The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer" is a nearly half-hour faux documentary that is interesting, if a bit trite. Finally, there are some storyboards of three separate scenes, a gallery of artwork from the conceptual stages of the film, and some video promo spots for other Lion's Gate movies.

Stephen King's best mini series!
on July 20, 2009
Posted by: redandblack6s
from Winston-Salem, NC
This is my wife and I's favorite Stephen King mini series. We love Stephen King and we have almost all of his books, movies, and mini series. Over the last 10 years or so, he's been on this mini series kick. Some of them were good, (like this one, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Tommyknockers, etc.), and some of them have not been good, (namely Kingdom Hospital.) I don't know why he does all these mini series'. They're not nearly as good as his movies and most of them are too long and don't have very good special effects or the best acting. However, Rose Red is one of his best, in my opinion. I gave it 5 stars, not in comparison to his movies, but to all his other mini series'. (In comparison to his films, I'd probably give it 4 stars.) Another reason my wife and I loved this movie was because it was loosely based off of The Haunting of Hill House and the real Winchester house in California, which is really haunted. (Google Winchester mystery house.) Just like the movie The Shining was based off of the Stanley Hotel, which really is haunted also. (Google Stanley Hotel.) For my wife and I, it makes for a better ghost story when there's some truth behind it. If you watch it from that perspective, I think you'll enjoy this movie. I highly recommend it! Also, you may want to check out The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, the prequel to Rose Red. (Stephen King is the ex. producer.)
What's great about it: Loosely based on a true story and a real house!
What's not so great: Not the best acting.
I would recommend this to a friend!
