SuaveStar Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Suave, did you watch Rocky Horror with an interactive crowd? 'Cause that's the only way to see it. It's a shit movie otherwise. I didn't. I just watched the film itself without the special features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Look around for a midnight screening. Those are the best. You'll get people in costumes singing along and talking back to the movie. It's quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Mikes right, Rocky Horror is an experience, not a movie. It's like Flash Gordon, no-one is going to call it five star cinema but it's got great camp value and it's great fun to watch with others. Don't worry Suave, we'll chalk this up to misunderstanding what this was supposed to be rather than you just Suaving again. What's upcoming on your list? Give us a preview.

Well, heres what I have high right now: The girl with the dragon tattoo. Free Money, four lions and 3:10 to Yuma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Which 3:10 to Yuma, old or new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Which 3:10 to Yuma, old or new? New one. Old one worth adding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Which 3:10 to Yuma, old or new? New one. Old one worth adding? Preston's probably the guy to ask on that front, but I've heard good things. Of course, I liked the new one quite a bit. Totally hangs on the strength of Bale and Crowe, but they do well with it.

Molly Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Ih, the old one hasn't aged well, and is basically an unremarkable western. The new one is one of the better modern Westerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 The girl with the dragon tattoo. I thought it was great; the suspense as to whether it will be Suaved or not begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Rocky Horror Picture Show I didn't think it was possible, but this film had too much Tim Curry. All in all, the biggest letdown for a film I've had in 2010. I personally love Rocky Horror. It is more fun in a crowd but it's something I can watch by myself and love it.

JackFetch Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Rocky Horror is a terrible movie, which is why it's so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 What everyone else said: See a live audience participation showing (you're in Scotland, there's probably lots of that around this time of the year) before you give your final rating. Also, please remember that it's one of those so bad it's good movies. Also, finally watched Rosemary's Baby. The build to the reveal at the end was well-done (but if you know the twist, it kind of takes a lot out of the movie), and the hallucinations were well-filmed, but otherwise? Not anything I really need to see again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Watched The Town yesterday. I think people will probably compare it to Heat in a few ways, which is probably accurate but not entirely fair as well, if that makes sense. I don't think it's trying to be Heat or better than it, but there are some similar plot points that may see people doing a 'vs' comparison, which is what I think would be unfair. I really enjoyed it, maybe not as much as Gone Baby Gone, but is still quite good. I enjoyed Eberts review, I think it was pretty accurate.

Stavros Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I'd laugh if we got Suave all dressed up, sent him down there and he still hated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 No, then we send you and Ian out to get sense in his head. Possibly dressed up still. Just cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Send Ian out, he's about 4 hours closer. Plus I seem to have lost my gold hotpants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 So, watching the Christmas ep of Justice League, cause I need some warm fluffy feelings. Also, because seeing Supes in a Christmas sweater trying to peek at his lead-lined presents is the cutest thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Suave, here are places doing Rocky Horror live shows in your neck of the woods. Thanks Hannah. I'm probably more than likely going to go to the one on the 19th. I'll have to book a ticket. I'd laugh if we got Suave all dressed up, sent him down there and he still hated it.

Stavros Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Saw- Like Mike said, there's promise in this concept but it's not well executed. On the other hand I quite like shit films, so I found this perfectly watchable. Wasn't nearly as gory as I figured it would be either, it really was more of a mind game, which is what this should be, even if none of the twists and turns really shocked me. I think I'm going to have to see how far I can stomach another of my shit series reviews, only this time with a franchise I swore I'd never touch.

slothian Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Send Ian out, he's about 4 hours closer. Plus I seem to have lost my gold hotpants. It's true that I make a better Rocky - I've got pretty much the same hair. The first time I watched that film was with some stoned Australians in Canada - I imagine that's even better than a live theatre viewing!

Stavros Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Saw II- Sorta feels like an extended TV show plot rather than a film, but it wasn't horrible. I'm really starting to feel that the gore thing has been overstated. Interested to see where Saw III goes (been too long since the e-2 show to recall) but at the same time I can see the root of a lot of the flaws that the later reviews point out, the crossovers and machinations are starting to take hold. Starting to feel like this franchise is basically just The Crystal Maze if Richard O'Brien went a bit mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Freaks (1932) - A classic horror film that stands out for its question of what defines human and inhuman, in a period where most horror films were about fantastical monsters. Citizen Kane (1941) - It's a great film. Is it the greatest film of all time? No, and I don't believe you can determine one film as the greatest ever. It's great just for having some of the most gorgeous cinematography to ever be put on film. House of Wax (1953) - One of Vincent Price's best. The Haunting (1963) - A great horror film about suspense, atmosphere, and the scariness of what you don't see. An American Werewolf in London (1981) - A great mix of horror and comedy; the transformation scene is still impressive. The Evil Dead (1981) - Another great mix of horror and comedy, albeit more in a more gross out vein. You can tell from this early film that Raimi has talent. Re-Animator (1985) - I didn't even notice it, but I was really on a horror-comedy roll. Jeffrey Combs is perfect as Herbert West and the film goes from crazy to insane near the end. Jacob's Ladder (1990) - A brilliant film about war and religion. The party scene in particular is a mindfuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
