Cabin Fever (2002)
great horror genre piece...homage to the great 70's classics!
i really do not understand what people are talking about in the other reviews. i feel like this is a continuing pattern on here. don't intelligent people watch movies or is it because this is a horror film and the viewers are incompetent? anyone who loves good horror should appreciate this! i wont go ahead and mention the storyline except for that it comes off as just another cheese ball teens in the woods getting slaughtered, at least thats what i thought when it came out and thats exactly the reason i originally avoided it. after a couple of years decided to give it a shot and was very pleased. every ingredient for a well made horror is here and more. if you want to look at this "cabin fever" as a social issue, its also possible. human nature is examined at its best here. yes, it has its flaws, this is a "horror movie and not an academy award winner dramatic and audiences should start viewing movies based on what the purpose is. every movie has a flavor and you wouldn't go compare coffee with wine would you, even though both are beverages!!! also, this film is much better than most in the genre including i madman, Axe, and even Tobe Hooper's eaten alive. most reviewers are not avid film goers and think they know all, such as those bush supporter who think they understand history! if they do understand like they say, they should feel guilty...another thing, reviewers have to stop comparing movies that are classics by anyones standards, TODAY...that is, if it wasn't for people like me and others who enjoy these, Texas chainsaw massacre, night of the living dead, the old Vincent price, Boris Karloff's, Christopher lee, and corman productions would not be liked mainstream...again, this is and will be CLASSIC...known for the best attempt for bringing back 70's horror. Mainstream people always want to butt in on things they don't understand, such as good horror...and to end this for all those Rex reed's out there, film theory is my thing and movies are a passion, don't stick your ignorant nose where it doesn't belong! RENT THIS MOVIE...especially if you enjoyed old Wes craven, Tobe hooper, George Romero and many others...this is a great modern approach to the genre.
The Sentinel (1977)
great horror flick...all the right ingredients for scares
hmmm...while i write this the rating on this film is 5.5 out of 10 stars and i cannot understand why. the movie had everything that a well made and entertaining horror movie needs. to quickly summarize the plot, a woman who happens to be a model, rents a room in a mansion in NY. she discovers that she lives with mysterious neighbors and wants to get to the bottom of it. thats all i will say for the plot, but the combination of that, the cast who seems to include many old and up and coming stars for the late 70's, and the last 10 minutes. these minutes were incredible and were more exciting than the whole of most horror movies out there in circulation. a mild hint would be jordowski,(if spelled wrong...sorry)freaks, or a David lynch movie. for the record, this is a must for horror and fans of cult classics!
EuroTrip (2004)
reassuring to find a unique teen sex comedy! highly recommended for the genre...
OK...i just watched the head of state movie, which was incredibly insulting and had to be the worst of the average guy becomes president movie ever. so, just to clear my mind of the notion that all modern comedies are bad i decided to watch this one...and wow!!! my expectations of this being another crappy movie ceased to exist after about 5 minutes. it says it has the producers of road trip, which was awful, but this movie was more cleaver than most of its genre...brings me back to the 80's, when this genre was in its glory. the only differance is that also has the year 2004 written all over it too. great scenery, funny scenes all throughout and kind of reminds me of an extended, light version of the euroscen in the rules of attraction. the acting was also good, with many costars's as well! very entertaining and likable in all its ways. one more thing, i do Norfolk's and the rating out of 5 stars, it got only 2 for some reason...it shouldn't be dismissed as the run of the mill cause its not. rent or buy right away...
The Dana Carvey Show (1996)
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it....
The Dana carvey show....a tear comes to my eye when i think about what it could have been. I'm 20 yrs. old and remember my father telling me about this show and the controversy after the first episode. This is when i started to watch it and every episode was a treat,to get sappy like my grandmothers apple pie. The show was something to look forward to throughout the week and finally get a dose...like a drug. The skits ranged from skinheads of Maine to grandma the clown, from maddone to the wizard of oz missing scene, to hell, the Chinese restaurant being the main sponsor of the show! I want a second dose...but i think it cant be picked up and done again, mainly because after seeing the master of disguise and like most comedians after children they loose their art form and just get plain stupid and uncreative...like Elton john coming out of the closet. PLEASE RELEASE ON DVD...BETA? ill take it on beta for god sake. and I'm not a fanatic, but drew Carey will never be looked at the same way, after he filled in for the best comedy skit show ever. All in the family will make the best sitcom.
