The new Conan: the Barbarian is on instant. It's hilariously terrible and violent. I'm hoping they make more of them as scifi originals. It was really fun to make fun of. There's maternity armor and Ron Perlman plays Conan's dad.

During the sex scene between Conan and the girl the kid leans over to his dad and says, "This movie is AWESOME."

It has basically nothing good about it, but it's not so bad your brain zones out, so you can enjoy the stupid.

The only part that was really getting to me and I started to check my watch was around the sandpeople fight. That part dragged a bit. The rest is a solid gold turd however.

Was that the fight that adolescent Conan had? I know at some point my husband and I were talking about the sandpeople and expecting Ben to totter out making strange sounds to scare them off. But I've been thinking of the people from the adolescent Conan fight as NPC's. Now I've got to go rewatch it. Also, I think Rose McGowen was worse in the movie than the child actress playing the younger her. I can't tell if she meant to do that or not. ` Baron von Eevl posted:No it was close to the end, there was a fight with magical people who were made of sand. Not Tusken Raiders. Also, yes, Rose McGowan was awful in this.

I thought the beginning, before the actual plot started, was pretty decent and fairly true to Robert E. Howard's original conception. The rest was pretty much poo poo, though.

Rammbock is pretty fantastic. Zombie featurette from Berlin, subtitled and only an hour long. It focuses on the human side of things rather than the gore. Great moments throughout, including the most powerful murder/suicide I've seen in a zombie flick.

Holy rollers: The true story of Christian card counters is a really interesting movie. It's about a blackjack team who counts cards at casinos and they are made up of all Christians which totally goes against their beliefs and they try to justify it. Coming from a strong religious home and not being apart of that now it was really fascinating watching these people speak about this.

Coming from a strong religious home and not being apart of that now it was really fascinating watching these people speak about this. Tangentially related to this idea, instant streaming currently features the entire output of an actor named Marjoe Gortner (Starcrash, Food of the Gods, and Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw). Marjoe started life as the world's youngest evangelical preacher, and his first movie role was as the star of a documentary (not on netflix, but free on google video) about the scams he ran as a traveling preacher. The most interesting parts of the film are the ones where he's talking to other preachers and they talk about the scams they run to get money. The language they use is totally religious (getting a good haul of cash is called something like "a gift for serving the lord") and they don't seem to realize that they scammed a bunch of people out of money--even though they use that money to live on and don't donate it to a charity to something. Marjoe seems to be the only one who realizes what he's doing, and he's so disgusted with himself about it that he has the crew record all his tricks so that he can't go back to them if he gets desperate for cash later. he's a fascinating dude, and it's cool to see how he turned out in '70s sleaze like Starcrash. The documentary's here if you're interested: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-178629120699935619&ei=DknNSemoOI24_AGuv4zXAg&q=Marjoe&client=firefox-a

Watched Dragonslayer a while ago and it has the honor of being one of the most misleading titles for a film ever. It's a documentary about Josh 'skreech' Sandoval as he skateboards while barely avoiding becoming a bum. It's barely a documentary but I enjoyed it cause it killed an hour and a half. I also finally got around to watching Chocolate and while the first half is forgettable, the last fight really makes the movie.

I'll recommend Philadelphia Experiment II some dude was in an experiment in radar invisibility in 1943. Everything went wrong and people melted into metal and somesuch, but because this dude has some special DNA (!) he survives and is sent forward into 1993. Then some bad dudes repeat the experiment and he's sent "sideways" into alternate 1993 where the Nazis won WW2. In sideways 1993 there's another bad dude who wants our hero to copy his DNA and travel in time himself. It's so bad it's good.

If you like Texas Chainsaw Massacre-esque movies, check out Sheitan. It's about some Paris kids that head out to the country and, well, you'll see. Vincent Cassell sells the hearty French farmer part so hard.

I just watched Thor as well, and it was better than I thought it would be. Kind of cheesy, but entertaining nevertheless. (I'm also speaking as someone who never knew about/read any of the comics so maybe that's why I'm not as critical of it as others.)

If you want to watch a good movie with lots of nudity, Cashback. http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Cashback/70070482?trkid=496624 Just noticed Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. A fun and campy sci-fi series from the 70's with lots of gorgeous women and bra-less Erin Grey. The pilot episode is the best of the lot. Season 2 was terrible, the setting and storyline changes. http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Buck_Rogers_in_the_25th_Century/70213131?trkid=2361637

Not Netflix, but the entirety of the UK political comedy The Thick of It just went up on Hulu. Prior to this I think the only (legal) way for Americans to watch the full series was to buy the episodes through itunes. The movie, In The Loop has been on Instant for a while though. I've not seen the show yet myself, but I've been hearing its praises sung for a long time, so I'm excited to dive in at last.

I'm pretty sure Ang Lee's NC-17 version of Lust, Caution is still streaming. quote:Lust, Caution is an 2007 espionage thriller film directed by Ang Lee, based on the novella of the same name published in 1979 by Chinese author Eileen Chang. The story is mostly set in Hong Kong in 1938 and in Shanghai in 1942, when it was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army and ruled by the puppet government led by Wang Jingwei. It depicts a group of Chinese university students from the Lingnan University who plot to assassinate a high-ranking special agent and recruiter of the puppet government using an attractive young woman to lure him into a trap. I really liked it a lot, I'm a pretty big fan of most of his films though.

I watched it the other day and it's still one of the gorier movies I've seen. It's the NR version, so it's worse than what you might have seen since it basically got an X rating and I think it got toned down to an R for release.

I watched District 13: Ultimatum yesterday and I couldn't help but notice that there was a lot of homoerotic tension between the two lead characters. It was an alright movie but not as good as the first; It was a little too ridiculous.

For all around violence I'd have to go with Battle Royale, but on gore alone Repo: A Genetic Opera certainly slings it around. For the most stomach churning, reach for the remote to skip it, violence, it's gotta be the rape scenes in Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. Horrific. fosborb has a new favorite as of 16:47 on Jul 30, 2012 |
