The Official Movie Thread

[CiG]

I was thinking about good sequels to cult classics, like Bride of Re-Animator, Predator 2, Return of the Living Dead 3, RoboCop 2 etc. Wondering if anybody knows of other sequels worth seeing in a similar vein? I've heard good things about The Fly 2, Gremlins 2, Candyman 2, I've heard bad things about The Crow 2, Scanners 2...

Would Hatchet 2 count? That movie ruled.

I'm more thinking of old school movies a lot of people love, but their sequels tend to go unmentioned.

Hatchet 2 does rule though! I might even like it more than the first one.

Children Of The Corn 2 through to 10

I like Jaws 2?

 

[RadicalThrasher]

Ghoulies 2 and short circuit 2 are both better than the originals. Gremlins 2 is awesome, i like the fly 2 and scanners 2 (and 3) are dumb fun. Also a fan of Pet Semetary 2.....all the death wish sequels

Is the original It worth checking out? I was about to opt it on but noticed its 3+ hours long

 

[CiG]

It's technically not a 3 hour movie, it's a two-part miniseries, and yeah it's pretty good. Part 1 and 2 are an hour and a half each, so you can watch it in two sittings without fucking it up.

I'm a fan. But like cig said, it was a 2 part mini series. So it aired in a 2 hour time slot on like nbc across 2 nights. So factor in commercials and it was like an hour and a half each night. It's pretty tame, 1990 + network television, but i do think it's worth checking out.

 

[CiG]

Definitely pushed the boundaries of TV at the time. Blood and violence against children in particular.

 

[no country for old wainds]

gremlins 2 is the ideal of what a sequel should be, thing unleashes the id of its predecessor while also pissing all over the entire idea of sequels.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Fuck it, ill watch It another time. But for tonight....

I come home one day and the house is empty, and I mean completely empty. She even took the ice cube trays out of the freezer. What kind of a sick bitch takes the ICE CUBE trays out of the FREEZER!?

Classic.

 

[CiG]

Oh fuck.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

...really liked this one.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Anyone know how i can find the graphs/charts in the lMDB app?

I checked this out since director Kim Hong-sun has been selected as the director of Gangs of London s03. Starts off as Con Air on a boat before going off the rails completely and turning into a Ryuhei Kitamura film. Enjoyable trash but not impressed by the direction, very flat cinematography and lots of quick cuts. The best thing I can say about it is that it is violent and gory as hell.

Rating: Not good but CiG would like it/5

 

[CiG]

Not good but CiG would like it/5

But I fucking despise quick cuts.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Fair.

It's not the worst I've seen in that regard but it's pretty disappointing. And this is the guy they're picking to replace the void left by Gareth Evans? Sad, I hope he can exceed my expectations.

I've tried to watch that movie several times but always turned it off < 20 mins in for some reason. You have me curious now, especially with the GoL connection.
