The Good Fun , The So-So but it were 1980 it would be great and the Cheesy

3 Different movies , Different Rate , Same Genre

Last week I had the chance to catch up with some of the movies that had been in my collection but I haven't the chance to see it....luckily last weekend I don't have much to do so I watched 3 movies(actually more but it didnt grab my intrest to review it).Funny part is, all 3 varies from good --> so-so --> corny,cheesy.So here they are ;

THE GOOD
FINAL DESTINATION 3



Cast: Ryan Merriman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Set six years after the original Final Destination film, the latest installment in the series centers around a high school senior who has a premonition of a fatal roller coaster accident involving herself and all her friends. When the premonition proves true, those who have “cheated death” and survived the accident are forced to deal with the repercussions of escaping their fate.

When I heard they are gonna make FD3, you know what was my reaction?....well i was very very happy about it.I loved the FD franchise.Though the 2nd one isn't as good as the first one...it does have its moments...i mean really, the starting scene...woah!!!Well enuff bout the 1st and 2nd, now on to the 3rd....The 3rd installment started out with a bang.What an awesome starting scene,I wouldnt say that I will be scared of a Roller Coaster after this, but....I will flashback to this scene when I'm riding one.Though not as shocking(try jawdropping) as the second...or thrilling as the first but the 3rd does live up to it's expectatation.The rest of the movie was just plain good freaking fun!



Acting wise ; it ain't as good as the previous but it didn't sux as much...oh u really have to see this one very idiotic typecast character...he(or she :>) was very very annoying till u'll wish he'll bite the dust really really early(god he was annoying...doesnt anyone believe in karma anymore?)...Oh and not to forget the bimbos....well these ladies own it, i trully believe that they are bimbos(great acting "UGH SHUT UP")...hot bimbos :P.Another good thing bout the movie though all the cast died in a really gruesome manner(in which i loveddddddd...emphasize on the ed), all deaths are really bloody and sick (the tanning bed comes to mind)

Storywise...I didn't give a flying F.., janji it delivers the guts, blood, gore and great storytelling...though I did laugh about the theories of Abraham Lincoln and the 911 tragedy (takyah lah mencuba)...

To close it up, FD3 was great fun, I rarely went like a girlish schoolgirl going "PULL THE FREAKING LEVEL PULL THE FREAKING LEVELLLLLLLL!!"...but I did here and for that, I think this movie deserve a plus plus. 3.5 out of 5



The So-So
BLACK CHRISTMAS



Cast : Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, John Saxon
A sorority house is terrorized by a stranger who makes frightening phone calls and then murders the sorority sisters during Christmas break

Finally! I got the chance to see Black Christmas before it will be officially remake-erm ed?This movie is considered a cult classic by many (also likewise by many), it's a Canadian made movie so it kinda wasn't widely known back then (70s ish), it's premise inspires scene of babysitter or whatever(janji wanita) being stalk/harrast by a killer through a phone...ergo SCREAM and When a Stranger Calls. It's kinda like the grandmother to these sort of phone - harrast plotline base stories.



It stars Olivia Hussey(IT , Romeo and Juliet to name a few) who is really a cutie and Margot Kidder from the Superman series fame.Both did their part well enuff but there is one particular scene that I think Olivia Hussey overdid it, other than that she's a cutie....(going lovey dovey)She was believable as the sweet,nice one of the group. As for Margot, she played a drunk...and she does look like a drunk..good job :)) . John Saxon again plays a detective like in the Nitemare series..oh and on the side note, whoever is the girl with the afro hairdo is...i really like her...she's nice...too bad her character got...oooops!



Storywise, considering it was those time type of movie...u can bet that it was slooowwwwww, my god was it slow.Luckily there was Olivia Hussey to grab my attention.But it was bleak and eerie at times...i give em that, the saiko freak was really...well saikotik(ejaan i know)!If i got a call from him I would have hung up instantly no question ask.



Basically the great thing bout this movie is that psycho and the last 15 minutes of the movie, the revealation of the killer peeking through the door was spooky, god those are look weird, other than that...it's a fair thriller...though unless i saw it in the 70s, maybe just maybe I would have said it was great,Black Christmas didn't age that well.3 out of 5



So here's to hoping the remake will rock.


THE CHEESY
HORROR EXPRESS



Cast : Christopher Lee...tuh jer aku tau yg lain whoooooooooo?
An English anthropologist (Christopher Lee) discovered and brought along with him a stupid ass looking ape-shit on board of a train, what he doesn't know is that the ape-shit is still alive(just hibernating until some stupid ass anthropologist will discover him).Thus terror ensures on the horror express...with red eyes..stoopid glowing red eyes.



When I was young I strongly remember this one scene where a beautiful lady in green is strangled by an ape-shit and all of sudden her eyes went white..u know like blind.What I know is that scene and it involves a train...oh and not to forget I was scared shitless when I first saw it.



Then comes now, I discovered that the movie is entitled horror express (oh how original)..so I searched for it and guess what(poyo suh guess guess)I found it.Then when I saw it......oh god was it cheesy!Soooo very very very cheesy, the dialog was cheesy,the plot was cheesy, the ape-shit was cheesy, the characters were cheesy...and i'm not suprise if the train was made out of cheese.Malu weihhhh kecik2 takut tgk cerita nih....



Now let's talk about the cheese factor, the plot..ok listen to this...the onster is supposedly came from outer space before the earth is born...to bring havoc and chaos to people on the earth,through his oh so red and glowing eyes.With it's eyes it can transfer itself into another host,other than that it kills them because it suck their brain dry for information.Oh ask me how I know it came before earth was born....i jawab yeh.This one time they got hold of its eye and stick a needle into it to suck some of the juice out of it...then when they see the blood or whatever through a microscope....guess what they say..?Images...images of dinosous, and the planet from outerspace view...by this time I was laughing my ass off.


Now for the ape-shit, well considering it was from the 70s I will let it go...but the cast/characters...oh god they were funny.The funniest is this priest who goes on mumbling about god and stuff and suddenly just like that(after seeing what the ape-shit can do)he asked to become that ape's servent...now that was easy.It also doesn't help that the priest was annoying.On a scale from 1-10 he was a hard 10.

I end with, though it was cheesy, it was slightly entertaining, some scares here and there but nothing permanent damage was done.See it if u want to laugh or dont mind cheesy movie.



Well that's it toodles peps.

1. Basic Instinct 2

Cast : Sharon Stone(hot granny), David Morrissey(all together now....who?!?!)
When : March 31, 2006, I dont think it'll be shown here in maysia, but lets just hope
What : Catherine Tramell (that saiko bitch from the original) story continues as she is once again in trouble with the law, psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Glass (Morrissey) is sent to evaluate her and hot steamy sex ensures. Like Detective Nick Curran(the dumbass from before) before him, Glass is lured into a seductive game aka hot steamy sex..sigh
Predict : Looks like Sharon will "silang kaki hebat" again...well me think me will pay good money to see that again...storywise?...don't see it surparsing the original

Cast:Alyson Hannigan(me likey her), Adam Campbell(me dunno who the...), Eddie Griffin, Fred Willard, Jennifer Coolidge (MILF ...wohoooooo!)
When: It's playing now in the states...like above I dont think it'll be shown here
What: A spoof, mixture of various date/romance movies(meet the fockers, hitch , bridget jones...list goes on)...think scary movie without the death scenes
Predict: I loved the starting part of the trailer...i laughed so hard and i found the background song(kelis's milkshake)to be a great mix with the the trailer....thenn...it sux major...seems like they overdone this movie.(i decide to add in this movie just because i know azmir might want to c it)


3. Ultraviolet










Cast : Milla Jovovich(love her love her lover her), Cameron Bright, William Fichtner
When : Around next month
What : Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans called Hemophages has emerged who have been genetically modified, giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence. To the government’s dismay, more and more of the population are being transformed, and they have set out to rid the world of this new subculture that they deem menaces to society. One rogue warrior is bent on protecting her race – and seeking revenge on those who changed her life forever. With fierce fighting skills and chameleon-like abilities, Violet (Jovovich) sets out to destroy a government-designed time bomb that will eliminate all Hemophages. To Violet’s surprise, the deadline device is a nine-year-old-boy, who was raised in a laboratory and goes by the name of Six (Bright). (taken from joblo.com....i dont know jack about this movie...i just now milla's in it...though after reading it...it does sound like aeon flux huh?)
Prediction : Might suck...milla doesn't seem convincing...but i'm hoping for the best...


4. A Scanner Darkly










Cast : I'm not gonna say, I want u guys to guess...the drawings(or whatever) are very accurate to the real thing
When : It stated in the trailer this summer...so...ehehehehe dunno
What : "A Scanner Darkly" is set in suburban Orange County, California in the future. It imagines a paranoid world in which it seems two of every 10 Americans has been hired by the government to spy on the other 8 -- in the name of national security and drug enforcement. When one reluctant government recruit (Reeves) is ordered to start spying on his friends, he is launched on a journey into the absurd, where outsourced government contractors largely define the social construct, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode, and where not even his girlfriend can be trusted. The film highlights the inconsistencies and ironic consequences of the war on drugs. (dude...this is deep....taken from imdb)
Prediction : I will enjoy the visual...storywise dunno...i'll give it a try when it comes out

5. Scary Movie 4




heh funny

Cast : Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Craig Bierko, Leslie Nielsen
When : In April
What : More spoofs on the latest box office movies.This time the main plot seems to be taken from the "War of the Worlds" which means, another horror alien spoof story.More movies that are spoofed includes , saw(i cant wait for this part),the village, the grudge etc.
Prediction : Might go either way,good or bad...but i do like the scene in the trailer where they spoof tom cruise on Oprah...now that was funny(i urge u guys to watch it)


6. Stay Alive




Cast : Frankie Muniz(he's not the lead), Jon Foster, Samaire Armstron, Sohpia Bush, Jimmi Simpson, Adam Goldberg
When : March
What : Some teens decided to play a new game, the catch is that, if their character dies in the game, they'll die for real

now lets get back to movies or music topic...actually i don't have the mood to continue the best of 2005 post,but someday i assure u it will be finish...for now I wanna list down some of the upcoming movies of 2006 that i really really want to c

1. When a Stranger Calls




Cast : Camilla Belle(chumbscrubber), Brian Geraghty(no idea..no no its not a movie title)
When : It's opening in the States about now i think...hehe lets see how long can I wait till I try the alternative way of watching it
What : It's a remake, I've never come to watch the original one, but from what I heard the first 30 minutes is one of the scariest moment in thriller history which inspire the opening scene for SCREAM (my all time fav movie)It's about a babysitter who babysits 2 yuppie rich kids who then is harrast by someone that keeps calling her .What she doesn't know is that the killer is already in the house...*GASP*(ahahaha poyo)...then begins the cat and mouse chase scene.
Predict : I think it'll do fine...the trailer is good enuff for me especially the part "the caller is in your house!!"

2.Final Destination 3




Cast : Ryan Merriman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead(gwen of Sky High)
When : This Week in the US
What : Well basically the same, I dont think it has anything to do with the previous installment.This time the opening scene involves a rollercoaster(great, another thing to be scared of)
Predict: I think the opening sequence will be great, but other kills looks dull,I'm hoping there are more death scenes than the ones that are shown in the trailer...but I really think the rollercoaster scene will rock, look at the images above..me likey the 5th image.

3.Pulse




Cast : Kristen Bell, Christina Milian(heh), Ian Somerhalder, Steve Talley, Rick Gonzalez, Samm Levine, Jonathan Tucker(i like this actor)
When : Next month in the US
What : It's a remake from a Japanese film called Kairo, I saw the Japanese version before(thanks to azmir) but seriously, I never really understood the story, all I know is that the ghost scared me shitless. This is what I know; Students of some college or university discover this eerie website which sorta opens a door to the dead realm.Those who came from this realm slowly "consumes" anyone who comes into it's path.
Prediction : Can't really predict cause I havent seen the trailer(someone pliss point me to any links) but it's possible that It may suck.

4.The Hills Have Eyes




Cast : Aaron Stanford, Ted Levine, Kathleen Quinlan, Vinessa Shaw, Emilie de Ravin(she's a cutie), Dan Byrd, Robert Joy, Ezra Buzzington
When : Around Next month ...yet again in the US (cepat lah skit maysia nih pon)
What : Another remake (wow shocker), like When Stranger...I've never seen the original,though I've wanted to see it sooo much..I guess I have to deal with the remake for now,just like House of Wax(luckily HOW is cool).Well the story is somewhat like Wrong Turn, a family who is stranded on a dirt road and chased by some man-eating cannibals(cool)..will they survive?This is intresting though cause if it's family it will be hard to predict who will go and who will live..but i guess i'm going to stick to who's hot and have the most lines.
Prediction : HAVEN'T SEEN THE TRAILER ARGGGHHH!!!....but I'm going for it will be good.

5.Silent Hill




Cast : Radha Mitchell(wohooooo! hot chick from Pitch Black), Sean Bean, Laurie Holden, Deborah Kara Unger, Kim Coates, Tanya Allen, Jodelle Ferland
When : APRIL...near my ehem birthday wohoo!!
What : Based on a popular game about a mother and her daughter who had an accident near Silent Hill;a sleepy town which will scare the hell out of me if I get stranded there.When Rose (Radha) woke up from the accident, her daughter is lost and nowhere to be found and so begin the quest to find her in this eerie town with many secrets.
Prediction : The trailer rowks, the movie will rowk..I love the game! so I'm hoping it will rowk...end of rocking...additional note...loved the demon nurses!

6.Poseidon




Cast : Richard Dreyfuss, Kurt Russel, Emmy Rossum, Mike Vogel, Josh Lucas, Mia Maestro, Freddy Rodriguez, Kevin Dillon, Jacinda Barrett, Jimmy Bennett, Andre Braugher...and I think I saw Fergie in there.
When : MAY
What : A remake yet again, what draws me to this movie is because I simply love the original, I saw it with my bro when I was young and 1 scene in particular was so sad that it stuck in my mind forever.So on with the what...A luxury cruise ship is capsive by a big wave(and i really do mean BIG), the few remaining survivor must reach the bottom of the ship for salvation(because the ship is upside down)
Prediction : Looks mighty fine...and I do notice some similar scenes in this remake...and if the red girl really is fergie i guess she might be playing that god annoying whimpering girl from the original...i do hope they'll change the character,Fergie can't be annoying, and that's final.

7. XMEN 3




Cast : Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Shawn Ashmore, Daniel Cudmore, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos
When : Phoenix will rise in MAY
What : Erm I really dont know, it's the 3rd installment (duh) of Xmen, but from what I heard and saw in the trailer.It's about XMEN versus the many mutants of Brotherhood of Evil Mutants...seriously, there are a lot of bad guys...even the supposebly good guys in the comic (psylocke and stacy X to name a few) are in the brotherhood...hmm outlook looks grim
Prediction : I was skeptic at first...but it may go well.What i do know is i'll be one of the people rushing to buy the tickets when it's out


so that's bout it...see u next week.me going camping this weekend...wish me luck, i've never gone camping before...hohoho
