The Dead Pool so bad it unintentionally comes across as a comedy

Oh man I thought The Human Centipede 2 was great. I really enjoyed the main character, his mother and the doctor. Seeing it in the theater was a blast.

that's what bothered me the most ... it was waaaay too campy performance wise.
although the main character is a great actor.

the victims though ... random folks with 0 character development.

[lurch70]

Agreed...though I liked that he got the chicky from the 1st one. I mean, really, how bad would that suck?!?!?

 

[lurch70]

hahahah, Human Centipede was just critiqued by Beavis and Butthead ...

but seriously, i had no idea it was the same director as the first one until the end credits. I mean the 2 movies are COMPLETELY different style. I kept thinking throughout ... "how the heck did this director get the rights to use so much of the first movie clips, actress, etc."

I do, however, enjoy them Kia Soul commercials with the hip hamsters dancing around with their gunts flapping about.

The Mist
...been waiting to see this for years. Didn't know about the ending....figured it would be pretty close to the book. It was not. I died a little inside. I might even have to ease up on the horror after that. It doesn't do much for my mildly depressive state

one of the best movies evarrrr.... really different from the most of stupid horror movies.

watched Melancholia. Lars Von Trier has always been a weirdo in the greatest meaning of this word. The film is really good and symbolic, as always, Tarkovsky's influence is also noticeable. Kirsten Dunst performed very well, although I didn't get it what's with her second chin, but that didn't ruin the impression ^ ^

The Turin Horse

This movie is beyond analysis, it is maybe the infinite seen through the microcosm, maybe much more simple. Like Béla Tarr said himself before the movie (it was the French premiere and he was there ), "take it or leave it"

the opening sequence:

^ this is interesting... thanks for the tip!

 

[lurch70]

I really like this guy's attitude although not much of a departure from the typical Hungarian personality type in general

Alina, how was Melancholia compared to Antichrist?
