This was pretty good. First off, I gotta say, someone needs to give Lewis Teague an Oscar for Directing Animals on Film. Between the performance he gets here from Cujo and then from the cat in Cat's Eye, the dude has got the touch. I was pleasantly surprised how thrilling it was once the dog vs. car battle happened. I have avoided watching this because A) I heard it was heavy on the family drama and B) Google has it incorrectly listed as being 2hrs and 15 min. It's not. It's a tight 91. Big difference. Dee Wallace is a badass! Also, dear lord was that kid screaming getting on my nerves. I get that a kid would probably be screaming that much in that real situation, but I cheered when Dee Wallace screamed at him to shut it. Anyway, good movie! Great dog and Dee acting!
I just can't understand why EVERYONE is lying for Troy. I just... he isn't that much of an excellent fighter to be so worth of lying again and again to your family.
This was the best episode so far in the series. These two last eps were amazing with tension and character development mainly for Alicia (it was a major relief to not see Madison). She starts to develop in a way I was hoping from the beginning. Immediately I was afraid that maybe Madison "saving her" at the end will turn everything back and we would see child-Alicia back but it was so powerful for her to stand up to her mum and say all the things she said. Im just sad that it didnt make any change for Madison. I was surprised she didnt make her go with them at any cost but well... she isnt the favorite child for her so. Still somewhat pissed off at Nick for going after her but I cant have it all and I am pleased with what Ive got from this episode.
In the future I need more leader-Alicia bc we had that for a moment and it was tense and raw and real but I just wanted someone to live to spread the word that Alicia can make decisions for herself and other, good decisions not like her family. I will not even mention that I want her to know that her brother killed her bae... she's so better without them.
Madison made some choices that weren't absolutely horrible in this episode! Could it be...character growth??? I love Strand, as always. The only time I like Madison is when she's interacting with him. I hope that Daniel and Ofelia will be reunited, but something tells me that's asking too much.
Wow, One stupid decision follows the next AGAIN. I honestly don’t get how the majority of decision makers is still alive?!
Where the flak come from, I don't know, as this is a rather effective killer animal movie. It's one of the better Jaws ripoffs anyway. The animatronic whale is even more convincing than Brucie the shark... It's a pretty harsh movie, even if it goes a little over-the-top. This is one fish you don't want to mess with. You know you done messed up when a killer whale burns down a village trying to get to you...
“ Holy jumped-up baldheaded Jesus palomino!” Probably one of my favorite Stephen King adaptations. Loved the practical effects in this one also
This movie is packed with cheesy goodness and spot-on humor!! Cult classic!
Big Banana paying for product placement, I see.
Glad to see they revisited Tooms and closed that X-File... For now?
Ohh that Phoebe was such a b*tch.
Good episode. Always great seeing Mark Sheppard, and he played that arsonist greatly!
The monster in this turns out to be nothing more than a wild woman who comes out of the woods to scavenge and occasionally attacks unfortunates who get in the way. It's a mostly Mulder episode.
Secondary characters in this episode: None
The first episode to explore the abduction of Mulder's sister by way of another family's encounter with aliens by Lake Okobogee. The little brother of the abducted teen becomes a "conduit" because he picks up a Defense Dept. transmission in his mind and writes it in binary. This has the scene of Scully seeing that all of the little boy's scratchings of ones and zeroes is actually a picture of his sister when all of the paper is arranged.
Secondary characters in this episode: Samantha Mulder
Love this movie we as a family watch it at least two to three times a year
A nice quirky little rom com. The humor didn't always work but was enjoyable overall.
It was ok. Pretty much what I was expecting. Worth watching for Julianne Hough to be honest!
This would be completely different if it was a horror film.
Not great but a good watch. I think it tried to be too clever, but it was fairly predictable. Good performances all around, especially from the daughter who seemed to outshine the rest of the cast.
The recovery of this film is important because it confronts us with the way AIDS was lived at its worst. There is an obsessive need to explain many things, a discourse of anger and helplessness that does not benefit the film, but that was necessary at that time. Knowing that the director Arthur J. Bressan died in 1987 (44 years old) and the actor Geoff Edholm in 1989 (33 years old), both of complications derived from AIDS, makes its viewing even more emotional.
the movie just keeps building up and then the end is just ridiculous
I enjoyed this new cut of Superman II and found it to be a lot different than the "Lester" version. It remains a corny movie to be sure but I was quite impressed with the street fight in New York between Superman and the three baddies. Gene Hackman is just the best here as criminal mastermind Lex Luthor and Christopher Reeve is most enjoyable when he is playing the clumsy Clark Kent. The HD DVD version makes the dated special effects look even more dated
Bob is my favorite character. That’s it, that’s the comment.
As if Jason needed to be even more badass now he comes back as a zombie. A good amount of humor in this makes for a funner movie.
Absolutely disgusting, but I think that's the point so I guess it succeeded in that manner.
The animal scenes were hard to watch, but over all, it was a fantastically disturbing “shock” film. I liked it.
Cash is clearly the one who wrote that note about only having sex once they really know someone. He's asexual and so right, we just aren't wired that way. This show was so close to actually doing smth about ace spectrum representation. For a show so openly queer in all the other ways it's really disappointing that they NEVER said a word about asexuality nor the spectrum, in fact, just keep invalidating it.
The guy, who plays Cash, is really good. He can perfectly give back the feelings of the character with every facial expression.
If you enjoyed the first one you'll probably like this one. Gory and silly. David Dale didn't have much of an interesting role which I missed.
Not funny as much as first movie. On the other hand, I learned that this movie references 28 films. Bwoah! This is too much!
Timothy Olyphant in a horror movie? I wish that would happen more! And damn, he has trouble starting up cars!
Anyway, The Crazies is a solid remake of the George A. Romero movie. Only this time we see one side of the coin. Which totally works. I loved the slow build up, the pitch fork scene, the way the crazies looked, the ending, the acting! Joe Anderson's mustache. The tension. The scene in the carwash was the best! What a poor way for Danielle Panabaker to go! The action scenes are well strung together too and the jump scares were okay.
I'm happy that I decided to watch this one today after hearing about it on the Shockwaves Podcast (Recommend listening to it if you like Horror!) Solid way to spend the afternoon!
