Man, I have really let myself fall behind in my movie replies. But better late than never. As for this movie, I thought it was terrific from start to finish. I certainly had more fun with THOR: THE DARK WORLD than I did with the original THOR or IRON MAN 3. An overall better story with some nice act...

I have to admit that I actually enjoyed this movie. It had been a long time since I'd seen the original, but I rewatched it on Netflix after seeing the new movie. I can't really say this remake is any better or worse than the original, but if I had to choose between the two I'd lean a little more to...

So three out of three agree :) After reading Remo's great write-ups of THE WORLD'S END, YOU'RE NEXT and KICK-ASS 2 I really had a hard time deciding which one I wanted to go see. I eventually settled on THE WORLD'S END and was happy that I did. This movie was a lot of fun and a great time in the the...

Wow Remo! Just this weekend alone you've given solid recommendations to three movies (this one, KICK-ASS 2 and THE WORLD'S END). I was actually planning to see one this weekend but now I can't decide which one to see first. I haven't been to see much theatrically this summer so I have a lot of catch...

I finally saw JOHN DIES AT THE END last night on Netflix and actually liked it quite a bit. Yes it was a bit silly at times but that only enhanced my enjoyment of it even if it wasn't anything special. The cameo by Angus Scrimm was definitely my favorite part of the movie. Seeing as it is easily ava...

I was fortunate enough to see this yesterday on opening day and thought that it was every bit as good (if not better) than the previous STAR TREK film. A great cast with awesome performances and a terrific story to boot. Benedict Cumberbatch was a cool villain and it was great to see Peter Weller in...

I was pretty let down by this as well and would place it as my least favorite in the series. Watching IRON MAN THREE made me feel the same way I felt after seeing the third X-MEN movie. Although it did provide some entertaining moments, the film was full of missed opportunities and I wonder how the ...

Nice review Remo. I honestly had no interest in seeing this, but I might have to check it out on video or at a matinee based on your recommendation. Thanks!

While looking over my movie log I realized there were two theatrical viewings I saw awhile back that I neglected to discuss. So I thought I would quickly post my thoughts on them in case anyone was interested so I could get them out of the way before the summer blockbusters get here. First up is Sam...

Actually caught this at a matinee the other day and thought I would . I've been slacking in my movie posts due to various things going on in my life. In fact there are two theatrical viewings that I never got around to posting about (hopefully I will soon). As for SCARY MOVIE V, I honestly wasn't ex...

Nice review Remo! I was personally iffy about this one, but it sounds like something I'll have to check out on video unless I'm able to catch it on the big screen. I finally got around to posting my thoughts on THE LAST STAND (which I saw a few weeks ago) if you want to check it out. It's pretty sad...

Been falling behind on my postings lately due to various things going on in my life, but I made a promise at the beginning of the year to post more often so all I can say is "better late than ever". Anyway, here are my thoughts on my first theatrical viewing for this year in case anyone is...

Although I enjoyed the 2003 TCM remake more than the original, I can't say I'm a big fan of this series. I saw the trailer for this when I saw DJANGO UNCHAINED (which I'm definitely looking forward to your review of) and it didn't really give me much confidence. The only thing that had me even remot...

Thanks Remo! Now for my take on 2012 in a nutshell. Because of my newest addiction of streaming older stuff on Netflix I haven't been on here much to talk about anything. Even when I did see something, I didn't have much to say about it that would warrant discussion. Luckily most of what I saw this ...

This space reserved for me:) As before, each movie will be listed only once (unless it is an alternate version). My resolution for this year is to limit my viewings and be more productive with my free time, so I'll try not to watch a movie more than once during the year. We'll see if I stick to that...

Shit gothbat, I didn't realize you were that much younger than the rest of us:) Yeah, I remember when the site still had the shadows.com domain (back when the message board was still in the "flat" format). I'm not sure when the domain name changed but I guess it was roughly 10 years ago. I...

This may be slightly off-topic but I thought it was appropriate given the time of year so here goes: While updating my viewing log and browsing the archives recently, it suddenly dawned on me that I've been with this group for 15 years now. That is certainly a long time to be with a group online and...

Caught up with this one Thursday afternoon. As a long-time Bond fan myself, it was an automatic given that I would see SKYFALL. Remo made a good point at avoiding story details in his review and I feel that I can't say much about it either without giving anything away. I will say that I enjoyed this...

And here's even sadder news: Just found out that longtime Jess Franco co-star and companion Lina Romay died back in February of this year. Don't know how I missed this news when it first happened, but she also died from cancer and was just 57. I never realized she was that young, which means she was...

Here is a long-awaited response just for you Remo :) I decided to take in a movie since I hadn't seen anything theatrically in over a month and chose this based on your recommendation. I hadn't had much to say about the stuff I did go to see this summer (does anyone really care to know my thoughts o...

Still going on. I've been reading all of your reviews, but haven't seen anything theatrically lately so there has been no need for me to comment on anything. Lately I've been catching up on movies via Netflix since I signed up back in August so I mainly come here to update my viewing log. However, I...

I was debating whether or not to see this, but reading your review Remo pretty much told me not to get my hopes up. If I do see it, it will either be free or on video. As with TWILIGHT, I've never read any of the books in the series either. But the TWILIGHT movies bored me to tears (although I've sa...

So far (and not just here), I tend to notice that people who've seen both movies tend to prefer the one they saw first... interesting. I wonder if that will maintain... Well I'll be able to test that theory if they continue the series. I plan to see the Swedish versions of GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE...

Nice job Remo. Now for my take on the year..... Looking back on 2011 it seemed to be a pretty disappointing year in terms of genre releases. Out of all the movies I saw in the theatre or on video, only 9 could be considered genre titles (with 4 of those being borderline). During the year I only saw ...

This spot reserved for me:) My list will also include only one viewing per title during the year (unless it's an alternate version). 1. 1/2 - BOYZ N THE HOOD (DVD) 2. 1/3 - SWEET NOVEMBER (2001, VHS) 3. 1/4 - LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL (extended version, Blu-Ray) 4. 1/6 - JAILHOUSE ROCK (DVD) 5. 1/7 - V...
