I thought "Thinner" was a great example of a good movie made out of a Stephen King book. Also, the movie was very true to the original novel.

Sick. In "The Door in the Floor," doesn't Kim Basinger fuck a kid who reminds her of her dead son? That's what I gathered from the preview, anyway.

I vote for Gamecube, as I have both, and Gamecube is a more fun system. It's in tune with what Nintendo's been doing for the past two decades. Some of the games may seem a bit childish, but overall, they're fun. Don't let the wrestling games currently available for each system sway your vote. Neither WrestleMania XIX nor Raw 2 are very good (though Raw is better).

Mucho Mojo by Joe R. Lansdale. Very well written and entertaining. I'm currently on The Two-Bear Mambo, part of Lansdale's same series.

White celebrities mooching off my group to be trendy? Today, I truly know what it feels like to be a minority.

I'll do that one, as I've seen it fairly recently.

Well, I had intended this thread for me, but since there are so many requests I could never get to, I guess anyone can go for it.

I like Army of Darkness and I LOVE They Live!, but I don't really consider either one of them to be horror movies.

John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness Directed by John Carpenter Written by Martin Quatermass (John Carpenter) Starring Donald Pleasance, Victor Wong, and Jameson Parker Released in 1987 The Plot: A millionaire dies in a church, holding a mysterious box. A priest (Donald Pleasance) discovers a key inside the box, and after reading ominous entries in the millionaire’s journal, contacts his friend, a college professor (Victor Wong). The priest tells the professor that signs are pointing to a secret that the Catholic Church has been keeping for two millennia- a strange green vat, currently located in the basement of a California church. The priest, the professor, and several graduate students spend the weekend in the church, with the intention of studying the vat and the strange occurrences surrounding it. However, they end up exposing themselves to an evil millions of years old. The Construction: Several aspects of this movie made it quite unique, in both good and bad ways. The film lacked a central villain, but the way the characters played off one another, nothing important seemed missing. The infusion of theories of modern physics into the plot was interesting; discussions relating the world of faith to matter and anti-matter helped bridge the gap between religion and science, a crucial connection in this film. On the other hand, some of the science seemed tacked on. For instance, the guests in the church were warned of impending crisis via their dreams. The signals they received, however, were broadcast from the future (the year 1999, to be exact). At one point, the film mentioned that “anything going faster than the speed of light would appear to be traveling backwards,” and I suppose that’s where the signal from the future comes in. Not being a physicist, I don’t know if that statement is true, but the dream messages introduced a sci-fi element to the movie which wasn’t really needed. The Acting: Most noticeable, of course, was the work of Donald Pleasance. He played the priest role to perfection, allowing his faith (or occasional doubts of faith) to influence his behavior at all turns. Dennis Dun’s graduate student was smarmy, obnoxious, and completely entertaining. Carpenter mainstay Peter Jason was at his best as the arrogant, yet likable Dr. Leahy. The rest of the cast was unremarkable, especially Jameson Parker, whose wooden acting added an aura of confusion to his character. Look for Alice Cooper in a very strange cameo role, as well. The Rundown: Overall, a very interesting and unusual movie. For all the gore and violence, it was about as far from a typical slasher film as a horror movie can be. The most important part of any production, in my opinion, is the compelling nature (or lack thereof) of the story, and in this case, “Prince of Darkness” does not disappoint. Rating (Out of *****): ***1/2

I doubt I'll find Cemetary Man. Maybe I'll do Jack Frost in the future. I have seen Demonicus: Demon Gladiator from Hell, and Frost can't be worse. I'll post a review for John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness later today.

As you may or may not know, I love horror movies. I watch as many as I can, be they well known or obscure. With that in mind, I've decided to make an official thread in which I will review these films. I'll probably post the first one tonight or tomorrow. The reason why I'm opening this thread early is because I am accepting requests, though I am limited to my local video stores' selections.

Maniac Cop 2- 7/10 Hell of a sequel. The Maniac Cop lived through the events of the first film and forms an allegiance with a serial killer to terrorize the city. Very interesting, and it went down a different road than the original did.

Here in NY, brutha, her voice is nothing out of the ordinary.

Who's one to throw stones?

1. Famke Janssen 2. Aisha Tyler 3. Sara Tanaka 4. Danielle Fishel 5. Claudia Jordan 6. Shania Twain 7. Fran Drescher 8. Christina Ricci 9. Sandra Bullock 10. Piper Perabo

Saved- 6.75/10 Pretty entertaining, though nothing really "great" about it. Macauley Culkin was decent, as were most of the other actors. Nothing really exceptional.

Nope. I actually have all the original games in working condition, due to my pack rat-like tendencies.

I liked Pet Sematary, but I think I'm in the minority.

In the "Who is Cartman's father?" episode, they revealed that his mother is a hermaphrodite, and is actually his father. They just didn't know who his actual mother was.

Bill one was on the best characters I've ever seen in any film, so naturally, he takes top honors.

Depp is a very good actor. Even in the crapfest that was Secret Window, his presence was entertaining and helped salvage the film.

I thought Ren and Stimpy, behind all of the toilet humor, had a lot of subtle brilliance. Ever see the episode where Ren and Stimpy became cosmonauts? Or the one where Ren tries to prove he's a "real dog?" They were terrific.

AUGH, NO! His character in Heavyweights was THE MAN. Ben Stiller could never hope to reach such heights again. His Dodgeball character is a sad Tony-wannabe. However, I may see the movie for Stephen Root and Rip Torn.

7.5/10 A good comedy, not Sandler's best, but enjoyable.
