wrote a comment about the news item CONTEST: Win Fright Night on Blu-ray
The prizes would be amazing to me just by the fact of how big of a fan I was of this movie. I am 29, and I don't think horror movies are what they used to be growing up in the 80s and 90s. I loved the first Fright Night, the setting, the feel, the acting, the tone... everything about that movie was just good. I am not a big fan of the idea of remakes these days, but this remake was good. I didn't think they could pull it off and they did. I own the first 2 and having this one in my collection is a necessity especially since I just got this new 3D TV and I know it would look great, just as it did in the theaters. The movie gave me a sense of nostalgia while yet feeling fresh. So, hopefully looking forward to this contest.

Nah they've ruined this franchise. Vampire movies nowadays are more sci fi and romance and crap. They're not horror like they use to be like the original Lost Boys which was able to pull off comedy and horror the proper way as well as Fright Night. The last decent vampire movie I sort of enjoyed was Daybreakers. Interview with the Vampire was great too. Those Underworlds and Twilights are full of CGI and crap. Same with werewolf movies. They use to be great....An American Werewolf in London, Wolf, Silver Bullet, The Howling, etc.

I have to admit, I feel so bad for this franchise. They've turned it into complete crap. This movie feels like Straight to video crap. Even straight to video movies in the 80s and 90s were watchable but now they suck so bad. If they could have brought back the "feel" and tone of the first one then we'd have a decent film. Aslo bring a recognizeable/good director. The second one was garbage and this one's just as bad. The acting looks horrible and trust me i can tolerate a lot of bad like chucky and stufff but this looks horrible.

wrote a comment about the news item Terminator Salvation Rumors Cleared Up
With the release of this movie coming soon and seeing the latest pics of Bale, even though this is off topic but, I can't help but see this guy play Snake from Metal Gear. Tell me what you think so far of this cast if they made a Metla Gear movie.
Director: Tony Scott Snake: Christian Bale Otocon: Jeff Goldblum Raiden: Mike Vogel Revolver Ocelot: Sam Elliot Older Big Boss: James Brolin Meryl: Charlize Theron Naomi:Monica Belluci Vamp: Olivier Martinez Psycho Mantis: Steve Buscemi Anyways, I can go on, but seems like a good idea huh. Surprised they haven't turned this into a movie, prolly too long of a story but they can make a trilogy after all. With the Terminator series, it's a story that can go on and on, people prolly dont wanna see it go on but it can, especially since it involves time traveling. I feel that the Metal Story story can go on as well since it involves clones so we'll see. As for this Terminator movie, I hope it's good. It's hard to carry the torch from James Cameron on a story he created. The 3rd Terminator I don't even count, but the ending was pretty intense. Hopefully this one will bring that emotional aspect, action, and good acting that the series had before T3 as well as the mind blowing special affects but try to limit the CGI usage. |

They should get Anthony Hopkins to play the Monopoly guy. If they give him that look he had in the movie "The Road to Welville" he'ld look just like the Monopoly guy.

Also, I think Tony Scott would be a good director for this film. Agent, nice choice with Zack as director. I agree on that one too.

What you don't get CMR is that that's what killed Mike. Giving him a story killed him. Halloween was scary because no one really knew what made Mike kill. That's the f'ed up part about him. And remember I'm talking about the original Halloween so I don't know why u went through the entire series for me. Making him a baby because he had it hard at home is just to cliche, too boring. That's not horror. That's another "my parents hated me, now I'ma kill" big woopy. What made the new Joker scary was the same reason Mike Myers was scarier in the first. There was no back story to them. In the new Batman, at first u think there is because he talked about how his dad gave him those scars but then he changes the story to everyone else so no one really knows how he came to be. No ID no nothing just a simple crazy guy. Rob Zombie made Mike too colorful. John Carpenter made Mike a mystery and more creepy. Back then Mike Myers was even known as The Shape. No emotion no nothing simple evil. Now in the new one I got a story...ya goodbye to creepy factor. It's not creepy on how someone kills someone, it's creepy not knowing what's going on in their head, what made them crazy.

I like Rob Zombie as a director but man he really ruined Mike Myers. I know I'm gonna get negative feedback on this comment but I do feel he messed up the concept of the first Halloween. Halloween, the original, was creepy. He was stalker-ish. It set the mood for horror, it was psychological. All Rob did was turn him into a pointless non-scary killer and filled the movie with gore. Sure it works for Jason because that's Jason, but Myers was not meant to be like that. I guess he just wanted to take a different approach and portray him more like a Jason and I guess some people liked that. In my opinion, it sucked. Instead he should've remade Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That would've been more up Rob's alley.

Jason was always quick and jumpy in the first 3 films, he started walking in the later sequels when he would appear more messed up like a corpse which makes sense. You can't say that it doesnt make sense for him to walk, he's a walking dead guy. He gets killed in every one then comes back. In this 1, it makes sense for him to run. He hasn't begun to deteriorate. lol Well it looks like a pretty good throwback to the series. Looks more the way they did in the 80's when the series was good. Even though this one has Jason in it as the killer, I wonder if it will follow the same storyline though as the mother being the first killer, maybe in the beginning or like flashbacks. That would be cool.

wrote a comment about the news item Check Out the One Sheet for My Bloody Valentine 3-D!
Believe it or not I'm kinda into this movie. Kinda brings back that 80's feel when horror movies were actually good. Friday the 13th Part 3 was 3-D in theaters when it came out. I'm tired of the new age of horror where everything's PG-13 and revolves around a ghost wanting some kinda revenge. They're all the same. Hopefully this one won't get stamped with a PG-13 and will actually be exciting. It's got that 50's B movie feel too. Kinda cool.
