Dread Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Call-Girl of Cthulhu: Just by nature of what i do, I've been able to watch Chris LaMartina come of age as a filmmaker. The Baltimore-based writer/director/producer/editor/composer has made some decent micro-budget films in the past, but he really took a giant leap forward with this one. Looking forward to reviewing this. Feature Films: 115 Documentaries: 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Kicks the shit out of both Iron Man sequels. Oh, absolutely. Barring Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer. I could watch ninety minutes of his morning routine and commute. Easily the most underused Marvel villain. Tim Roth is second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Agreed on both counts. Marvel still needs a decent villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Fast Zombies Suck: this was a project Brian Keene's accountant suggested as he needed a "money-losing venture" to save his ass for tax time. It's a fun little short film based on one of his stories directed by and starring his friends. A little slap-dash, but it's got heart. I can't believe that I haven't watched any other short films this year. I'm sure I have, I just haven't kept track of them.

Dread Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Fantastic Four: Completely undeserving of the shit it's gotten. I imagine they withheld the film from critics because it is most certainly NOT a superhero film. It's a body horror sci fi film in the wrappings of a superhero origin story. It's paced weirdly, but refreshingly and I enjoyed the performances. The effects were great. Megan and the boys really enjoyed it too. At one point Davin said "this is so cool I haven't blinked in 15 minutes!" This is better than all but like three of the Marvel movies. Amer: an epic giallo homage. Loved this movie.

You Know Who Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The Mummy (1999)- First-time viewing. Silly fun that goes about half and hour too long. Also, I can't decide whether I would have put Imhotep in the Best Classic Monsters or Lamest Monsters category for List and Shout #5 had I seen it before recording that episode.

Dread Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 K-11: Weird prison movie starring the guy from ER. No, not that guy obviously. Not him either. Nope.

Dread Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Inner Demons: To myself I sort of refer to films sent to me without me requesting them as "obligation watches." I figure if the company is cool enough to send me most of what i ask for, and to hook me up with interviews and stuff then I can give them the time to review the stuff they send me. This is one of those and so was K-11. This one is not the first possession/exorcism found footage film I've seen this year, but it's one of the better. It's wrapped in the conceit of an Intervention-style show. Interesting. Feature Films: 120 Documentaries: 7 Short films: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
