Try not to laugh when the deer legs are coming through the window honking the car horn, haha.
5 friends, a cabin in the forest, a virus, the human being giving disgust
One of the worst. The acting, the lines, everything is so out of place that it just turns out to PERFECTION.
The end with some old dudes and unexpected banjos = God's best work.
Having watched the latest episode of Eli Roth's History of Horror I decided to watch his debut film Cabin Fever as it is being talked about. I liked the example of practical effects they give and how they summarized the story.
Anyway, I didn't expect the see a random kid with a terrible mullet, bite people and show off some kung fu, I didn't expect that last scene with the old man and the people he cleaned their guns for. I did not expect to see a character like Winston, hunting young girls. No not at all.
However the acting is great for a horror movie, the effects sublime. Like the face reveal when they turn around Karen. The open ending was great too and the way virus worked. But they left so much in the open, it had more potential in my eyes.
But for the short run time, I didn't feel like it was a complete waste of time just that it could've been much more. So much more.
Ps. Eli Roth, please keep making these History of Horror episodes though!
“God damn it! What pancakes, you fuck?”
I've alway been curious about this movie and was hoping that it was pretty scary. Little did I know this was Eli Roth's debut and it doesn't know if it wants to be horror, funny or straight up weird. Felt like I was almost watching a Twilight Zone episode.
Was ok bad akting but you can watch it if you are tired and wanna laugh sometimes... xD
I have to admit that the "Cabin Fever" series is somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine. The first movie was one of the first horror films I ever saw when I was young, and it left a lasting impression on me. However, from today's perspective, the film isn't all that great, but it's still entertaining. The acting is weak throughout and the characters are all unlikeable, but at least the gore is sometimes satisfying. Furthermore, the film doesn't take itself too seriously, which I find appealing. "Cabin Fever" is no masterpiece, but at least it's an adequate B-horror movie.
It looks like a mashup of movies Eli Roth saw. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead, Deliverance, Carnosaur (?!)...
Annoying teenagers, with stupid choice (why you try to outrun the dog when you are on the porch, go back in the cabin you dumb bitch).
Most of the clichés of 00s horror flix are in this, but it was released early in the decade so I'll be kind with this.
First hour is boring, last half hour sucks but at least it is entertaining.
what the hell was that final scene? Good start, bad ending!
Re-watching this film for second time, and still doesn't compare to other good horror films. Eli Roth's first but not his best...
I liked this! Just don't take it so seriously.
the dog better get an oscar for being the bestest boy
This was definitely more for Godzilla fans than it was for critics. It was way better than the 2014 film that got Certified Fresh. The film is just badass. Not perfect but....bad ass.
They do over-do the family drama again though. Especially when the family drama makes no sense. Mark Russel (Kyle Chandler) blames Godzilla for the death of his son. He wants all monsters dead.
Mark’s wife Emma (Vera Farmiga) says screw mankind. The monsters will cure the planet of Climate Change. So yeah in another words who cares if anyone else loses family members. Due to her plan to unleash all monsters.
Her daughter Madison (Millie Bobbie Brown) sticks with her. Despite her mom teaming with some bad men with guns. Who kill some nice scientists right in front of her. So yeah, Mark is the sanest one in that family.
Even if there’s too much of the humans and a silly plot. This is the best of the Hollywood Godzilla movies. Critics are just wrong. One even said the Roland Emmerich version is better. What drugs is that critic on ?
The battles are some of the best done of any monster vs monster battle. Unlike the first film this one has a ton of Godzilla history to it. It shows him way more and shows the character great respect.
This movie is legendary. someday it'll become a classic. I don't know why someone is complaing about why they didn't get to explore more of Oppenheimer's character, or what he was. I think that person needs to rewatch this movie. Scene are not snippets, It is complete and well integrated. Yes, they covered a lot ground. Could it have been a miniseries? of course! but saying that this movie fails to integrate different aspect, is completely false. Even character whom had small screen time, did perfect. I think everyone needs to hit theatre, so Hollywood makes more fucking movie like this. which delves deep in character and dark part of human chatacter. Not everything is Pink and happy. I think, you must watch it in theatre decide for yourself. I think I have spent all my penny well. Thank you Nolan.
One of the best 80s, cheesy, over the top, action movies. The monster design is great. Arnold gives some of he best cheesy one liners deliveries of his career. And the rest of the cast is great too. That sheer amount of body mass is astonishing.
"If it bleeds, we can kill it."
That handshake at the beginning between Schwarzenegger and Weathers, the jungle setting, the biceps, the big guns, the one-liners, the Predator design, the brutal action, the spine being ripped out and the explosive ending.
Rewatching Predator never gets old.
I enjoyed this, way better than I had been led to believe
Prometheus: misfire or misunderstood?
Prometheus started life as a prequel to the 1979 sci-fi classic Alien, but during years of development grew into something bigger and relegated the xenomorph to an almost incidental. As a fan of the Alien and HR Giger’s Oscar winning effects (pieces adorn my walls, grace my shelves, my desk at work) I thought I would be disappointed with how it would be included; I was very wrong. See my shouts below on what I took away from the Alien aspect of the film.
Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and Logan Marshall-Green, with Charlize Theron and Guy Pearce. At its heart Prometheus tells the story of our search for answers as to who we are and where we came from, and is a film that the more you dig the more you take away from it.
I’ve been an admirer of Polish cinematographer Dariusz Wolski from as far back as The Crow and Dark City, however it is his work on Sweeney Todd that was my highlight. I have a new highlight. From the first frame to the last the film is simply gorgeous. He finds the detail in the sets and costumes and casts your eye over them in an unassuming way to let you find them yourself. I don’t think I blinked the entire length of the film.
The visual, practical and makeup effects are remarkable and need to be seen on the big screen at least once. I’ve heard criticism of Guy Pearce’s make up and find them unfounded. Comments that it looked like it belonged in a high school play are ridiculous, it has Oscar nom all over it. I think the issue more lies in the anticipation throughout the film of seeing him without it, forgetting that we already have among the viral material (The TED Talks was truly inspired).
So with all of the shiny out of the way, let’s wind our way through the film as a whole.
The film is dense with ideas but often disjointed and uneven with some pedestrian dialog and some questionable acting. Scott has confirmed that the home release will be 20 minutes longer and have 30 minutes of deleted scenes; that alone speaks volumes. There are scenes and interactions that end abruptly and others that clearly pick up from something we just didn’t see. One character goes from being a bit put out to losing himself at the bottom of a bottle the next time we see him, with nothing between. You can often feel when they occur because they are quite jarring.
Much has been made of the thinly realised and ineffectual crew. My hope is that a solid portion of those 20 minutes gives them a little more flesh, however I feel it is going to be in the deleted scenes. They will still often make the same stupid decisions, but a bit more depth to them might make it a little clearer why.
Michael Fassbender owns this film with his realisation of the nuanced David. Rapace, Theron and Pearce are great in their roles, but I think I would have been fine with any of the others being recast with the exception maybe of Sean Harris’ underdeveloped Fifield.
So how, with all of that, is Prometheus still so damn good? Ridley Scott. The film is bursting at the seams trying to contain itself, you can feel it. I don’t know of another Director that could have achieved the vision Scott has shown us, he just should have shown us over 3 hours.
Prometheus works on a number of levels depending on how much of the surface you care to scratch away. If you just want a Sci-Fi action film with aliens. Tick. If you are looking for more, it’s there; it doesn’t spoon feed you and you will need to pay close attention, read between the lines and deduce. It’s a movie that I’ve been thinking about for a week after seeing it only once and can’t wait to don my 3D glasses and take the ride again.
So, Prometheus: misfire or misunderstood? I think a little from column A and a lot from column B
Totally facehugged
I went for the laughs and left the movie theater with an existential crisis. I loved it <3
i really like the pace for me i do not find it slow or boring, there is probaby to much story to tell and what are the showing is enough for now. I like how they trying to connect everything.
Also the opening credits are fantastic.
Well that was an amazing start to this epic journey. Got that great mando feel but slightly different. same same, Different, but still same!
can't wait for chapter 2! Favreau and team, you beautiful bastards did it again!
I loved the theme to this episode. Not only the idea of morality but also black magic. It seems like an infinite black hole of possible evil and that's so exciting. Obligatory blonde falls for Dean's ruggish charm as Sam wingmans.
REWATCH
come on baby
don't fear the reaper
baby take my hand...
ah, when they start showing how much Dean's heart is in the right place
look at my tough baby being so soft
I watched it several times since I was a child and I still love it. It really has the Disney - atmosphere because of the nice soundtrack, the animation and the emotional scenes. Definitely worth watching it! :)
Y'all don't like this movie because there's black people in it, smh
Strong start, and I say that acknowledging that Asimovian truism is obvs not their goal. I legit love where they’re taking the whole “prophecy” narrative, since that aspect of the OG story would be hard to convey as a TV show..
Making it a battle of rebellious, savant-tier genius vs a technologically elite Empire of forgotten dreams—whose ruler is a clone controlled by an actual robot—really makes it feel relevant to our experience: moneyed royalty building an algorithmically-powered, AI driven—chatGPT, Google Bard, etc)—but potentially distopian future… Pretty excellent.
Jackson probably had one of the better send offs of any character on this show.
this episode made me so uncomfortable, plus it was pointless filler
I had a lot of fun watching this film; I don't understand why people hate on it so much. Battleship was an excellent popcorn flick through and through. Yeah the story line was light but the special effects and action scenes were amazing and I found myself cheering for us (the human race) a couple of times throughout the film. There is just one scene in the whole movie which mirrors the game this film is based off of, but besides that one small scene nothing else about the game Battleship is used in the movie except for the title of the film. Instead everything else about this film is your typical science fiction/alien attack movie. As far as the acting goes, you can't go wrong with Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgård; Rihanna should just stick with her music career, and Taylor Kitsch was just OK for the lead, but I felt like they should of got someone else for the part. All in all, Battleship is a solid entertaining summer popcorn flick.
