Thread: Last Movie Watched

This absolutely deserves all the hype it gets as a bad movie, but in spite of it ripping off countless other films and being overstuffed and overdone in almost every way, I not only didn't hate it but found it strangely satisfying and actually likeable.

Actually The John Carter stories are over 100 years old and the 'ripping off' you perceived is really reversed. Star Wars/Avatar countless others openly claim these stories as 'influential'.

Ahh. That would sure explain a lot.

I won't bother explaining the plot, but rather say that if you haven't seen it already I highly recommend hitting it on Netflix streaming this weekend--and grab the popcorn for this one.

Just watched it today, pretty damn good flick. Thanks for the recommendation.

I've yet to see a movie with Melissa George that I didn't like. Amityville Horror is no exception. Yea it's not original and you won't be confusing it with any award-winning movies but it was entertaining nonetheless.

There are two reasons to watch this movie, and both are the proud property of Megumi Kagurazaka (←PG-13, but NSFW). OK a third reason: it's highly entertaining. Funny, tense, extremely unsettling, the characters and acting are all well done, and while not comically gory it is pretty f***ing sick when they do go there. For those who like this genre it's well worth a try on Netflix streaming if you haven't already seen it.

Because, you know....it's the off season.

You must spread some karma around before giving it to Megumi again.
