Final Destination

All three of them are steeped in such dark humor, which is exactly why they're so entertaining. For instance, in the third installment, there’s this specific double death scene that is absolutely gruesome, but then the film cuts... and just one shot later, I actually found myself laughing out loud.

coppergardener, try sending an email over to dalibor@videocross.com (Video Cross in Indianapolis) — go ahead and ask them whatever you need; they might even have Fahrenheit in stock.

I found Orgazmo to be quite amusing, even if it was incredibly moronic and childish in certain parts.

Green Day recently appeared on MTV's "hosted by" segment—which, let’s be honest, is easily one of the best shows on satellite TV because you actually get to hear artists curate an hour of their favorite tracks and explain why they resonate with them. During the set, they requested "One Armed Scissor" by At the Drive-In... only for me to realize that the riffs in "Try Honesty" sound identical to "O.A.S." So much for originality.

They used to be something of a novelty to me, but now, you can't even tune into the satellite radio without being bombarded by "Red Flag" and "Fallen Leaves," which is incredibly irritating. Personally, I find the debut album to be superior, largely due to tracks like "this is How IT goes," "Try Honesty," and "River Below."

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes should probably stop overdoing it with the charity galas, and honestly, they need to stop aiming for an Oscar with every single role they take on.

I honestly thought you were going to say "Alizee" 😉 😬

(I caught the music video for "Only 20" the other day—does she seriously follow that exact same trope in every single video where she acts all innocent even though she looks like she could take down half the city?)

Ryuji "The Unicorn" from "Kamikaze Girls" because he has the most badass hairstyleever! 🤣

I’m aware he isn't directing this one, but they've brought in a German director named Weisz, whose cannibalistic thriller "Grimm Love" was actually banned back in his home country. Even though we're looking at a different director and screenwriter now, the film still looks pretty solid, though I'll be sure to keep my expectations in check.

True, but it’s handled rather clumsily. That scene where they shove the American flag down someone's throat while patriotic music plays comes off as—to use the local idiom—“unintentionally funny.” Aside from that, Aja did an excellent job, and I’m genuinely looking forward to his next project. The sequel looks solid, though it seems to lean much more heavily into the action genre.

If you’re referring to that sequel from the 80s, the consensus is that it's pretty terrible (I have zero intention of sitting through 😁). However, if you mean the remake's sequel, that hasn't hit theaters just yet. From what I've gathered, the few people who caught a sneak preview say it leans much harder into the action and cranks up the violence compared to the original.

To be honest, there are more than enough *Boo* moments in this film, but they’re executed effectively—they don't feel overly predictable.

The movie is excellent, and I highly recommend giving it a watch. However, before you start a new thread, please check the "movie list" topic first, as there has already been a discussion regarding Shutter. Moderators, please merge this with this thread. Thanks!

Based on the announcement, I’m feeling cautiously optimistic. I noticed the screenwriter is Ehren Kruger, the guy behind "Blood and Chocolate", "The ring", "Skeleton Key", and "Arlington Road"... so there’s potential here. However, it’s pretty obvious this isn't going to be a pure horror flick; it looks more like some PG-13 romance with a few horror elements sprinkled in.

The trailer for the third installment should be dropping either today or tomorrow. Once it's out, please share your thoughts here—and since the "Resident Evil" franchise has such a massive following, I expect the discussion to get pretty intense 🙂.

👋 👋 👋 YES!!!

I was watching it last night, and my favorite part is definitely when they dive into the lore about the original Dracula—that first vampire who’s been around for over 5,000 years. You see a similar vibe in > 1 and 2, specifically during those segments detailing the ancient war between the lycans and the vampires centuries ago. Those bits of mythology are always my favorite parts of these movies. It honestly makes me wonder why we haven't seen a serious vampire film set in a historical period where there isn't constant gunfire or kung fu showdowns... it seems like every modern flick has to be some frantic mashup of fast cars and heavy artillery. I remember hearing some whispers about a potential movie based on the > game, but nothing has ever materialized.

So, here's the question: What kind of vampire movie would you actually want to see? And is there anything about the genre that constantly gets on your nerves?

Well... if it’s any consolation, Paul W. S. Anderson 😁 is actually filming an adaptation of Castlevania this year (over in Canada), which focuses specifically on the Belmont family fighting against Dracula. I’m assuming they'll set the story in the 19th century or even earlier. We don't have all the specifics yet, but I expect more details to surface soon.

Horror enthusiasts seem generally satisfied, though the rest of the audience isn't quite feeling it. To be honest, I'm still interested in checking it out.

For instance, here is a review from Central Station (which is an excellent horror site).

Perhaps, but Danny the Dog proved he definitely knows how to get the job done, regardless of whether people actually enjoy the movie or not.
