Lucky McKee is one of my fav dudes working in horror currently, always has some interesting characters. May's a great movie.

Purple Rain was the first movie I "saw" (my mom took me when I was like 4). I'm not sure how it is as a "movie", but it's worthwhile on it's own just for seeing Prince at probably his absolute peak Prince-ness.

I'm almost positive that it was recommended here, but 13 Assassins was loving phenomenal. I went in with low expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised with how good the action as well as the acting was. It was a great slow burn up to the final battle. Really built the suspense and helped the characterization, although I only really cared/knew about like 6 or 7 - there was simply too many to flesh out in that little amount of time, I'd argue.

I'd recommend it to anyone who likes samurai movies. It's ultra violent and there's blood, but don't expect geysers of blood to spray out of a dude's arm - it's not over the top like that.

It's in Japanese so if you're not in the mood to read subtitles watch it at a later time. If you like action movies and samurai stuff watch that poo poo.

Madhouse is a beautiful little love letter to the great horror movies of the '50s and '60s, starring Vincent Price and Peter Cushing; in a lot of ways, it is to those films as Scream was to the slasher movies of the '80sand '90s. A solid capstone to an iconic era of horror.

I saw this a few weeks ago and loved it. For whatever reason I never realized it had Cushing, I'd have checked it out a long time ago had I known that.

It feels like a giallo in a lot of ways, like a Hammer/Bava hybrid.

I am a Prince fan but I like it precisely because it isn't doing cheesy. If it's doing cheesy, Prince's outfits alone have enough for twenty movies. If you just take it as that, you cut yourself off from the rest of the movie. There's way too much going on for just a simple "so bad its good!!!" kind of thing.

I would respect this reply a lot more if you'd gone with The Black Album.

So I watched 21 Years which is a puff piece about how Richard Linklater is absolutely the coolest and most down to Earth filmmaker to ever exist. It's pretty good if you're already a fan of his stuff and just want to listen to Keanu Reeves, Matthew McCanaughy, Parker Posey, and sundry others sounding like they're stoned and telling a story about this dude they know, which is probably what the movie actually is.

Weirdly, though, there are no interviews with Harrelson, Downey Jr., or Alex Jones ( :v: ) It's especially weird because I know that Downey Jr. and Harrelson were incredibly stoked to do Scanner and loved working on it.

If you've heard of Martin Scorsese these are all righteously fun films which fit well together.

Except Legendary, which was so forgettable I know I watched it and still forgot.. Watch that Battle of the Damned movie instead, because where else can you nwatch Dolph Lundgren lead a rag-tag band of robots to revolution?! :iamafag:

Green Street Underground is probably the worst of the lot, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the first two Green Street movies (which I wouldn't recommend if you are not a fan of seeing people brained with bricks in riot scenes) so feel free, it's just a Bloodsport clone movie and not as rough as the other Green Streets.

Green Street 2 also has pretty much nothing to do with the first one. I go back and forth on whether Green Street 2 or Goal! 3: Taking On the World is the worst soccer-related movie I've seen.

The worst soccer related film is Hooligans at War: north vs south, and I mean by a very long way, so if I were you I'd stay away. It makes Green Street look brilliant.

I hated the original green Street so never bothered with any sequels but if they're worse than the original they must be terrible.
