Yeah. Eddie murphy let me down that time.

Automaton Transfusion was a bit of a letdown.  Got excited from the preview then was completely confused by the film.  A bunch of hardcore/punk kids making a zombie movie that has the potential to be a modern RotLD but gets caught up in overacting and local band promotion.  Ugh.  Sweet ass gore effects for a low budget movie but other than that...

Stink of Flesh was much better and showed how low budget should be done.  Fucking funny and gory.

At first I didn't like it either, but then I thought of it as a type of student film project, and that's basically all it is, from what I've heard about the director and such. That kinda made me enjoy it a bit more....just a fun zombie movie.

I agree with the random music though. I think Dance Club Massacre was in there. They're not bad.

Synecdoche, NY is a fucking awesome movie!!

some recent flicks I've seen:

The Lookout: with Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. see it. just see it. Jeff Daniels is greatness too.
Zombie Strippers: ummm......terrible. just terrible. even Tito Ortiz was in it. I wanted to vomit.
Role Models: paid $10 for admission, which pissed me off. amazingly, after the movie I thought it was worth every penny. Paul Rudd and McLovin carried it, and Elizabeth Banks is hotttt.
My Name Is Bruce: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489235/ another good recommendation. after the reading about the plot, I think any one would want to see this.
X-Files I want to Believe: I don't want to say avoid this movie. But I just felt so disappointed with it after watching it. If you loved the show like me, it's worth seeing. If not, then it's a pass.

The Lookout is great!

Role Models is hilarious. the little black kid made the movie for me. "you're white, you're ben affleck" haha.

really, really wanna see My Name Is Bruce.

[Crazylegs]

me too. Is it out on dvd yet?

[theis]

it hits dvd in february... Region 1.

[Crazylegs]

and probably never region 2.

[bright lights, big city]

I saw it in theaters...speaking of which, I live in Chicago, and it was only playing on ONE screen. couldn't believe that.

But do you have the last Bruce movies out over there? if you have the craptacular Man With the Screaming Brain or Alien Apocalypse, then odds are you'll get this one.

Role Models is hilarious. the little black kid made the movie for me. "you're white, you're ben affleck" haha.

lol. also you know it's a real good movie when the best/funniest parts are not shown in the previews. i was laughing like crazy for pretty much the last 20 minutes.

[deftonekid]

Watched Anything Else, not the best Woody Allen's movie but still very funny and his character is hilarious as usual. Christina Ricci is a hottie and Jason Biggs is just ok, nice to see he can do another characters besides the stupid guy from American Pie.

[theis]

yeah Christina Ricci is so fucking hot in that movie.

[lostpilot]

Fierce People.

nice movie..

[deafnotes]

the day the earth stood still reminds me of matrix when i saw the trailer

Got around to watching The Mist. Really good. Really fucking depressing.

[oldgentlovecraft]

Pretty spot on to the story too.  Except the ending.

i love movie endings where you get depressed. suck it, hollywood endings.

[oldgentlovecraft]

Oh, I liked the ending but it wasn't from the story.  Not a bad thing, considering movie versions of literature or more akin to interpretations than exact translations.  I love endings that aren't expected.  One of the first I ever enjoyed was the end to Jeepers Creepers.  Like it or not it was one of the few Hollywood horror flicks to let the antagonist win.
