Sorry everyone, I've been real busy lately.....I wanted to try and put this out before next week so I wasn't backed up a whole month and I didn't have time to do all the titles and descriptions and stuff. I'll try and get back on track next week



Andvil's DVD Picks for January 25th, 2011

Really intense & visually mindblowing. Looking forward to watching this again in HD

One of my favorites of 2010. The quote on the cover, "Hilarious", is grossly misleading. I didn't find the movie to be a comedy at all, and most of the comical parts come off more as tragic than anything. Still, I'm incredibly fascinated by people that grow up in complete isolation so this type of thing is right up my alley...it's definitely not for everyone though.

Andvil's DVD Picks for February 1st, 2011

Another one of my favorites of 2010. Heartbreaking.

Maybe I'm just stubborn but I really don't want to watch this. The original did not need to be remade, especially so soon. Maybe I'll watch it in 5 years or something.

I'll cop to being curious about Let Me In. Watched the original a while back and found it to be the most endearingly creepy/unsettling film I'll probably never watch again.... had some pretty awesome shots in it, though.

Yeah Red was very entertaining. Malkovich was pretty great in it.

I just watched Kind of A Funny Story last week. It was pretty gay, but entertaining at the same time. All in all I enjoyed it.

I think Stephen King might need to ice edit that quote of his on the cover of Let Me In.

Don't sleep on Let Me In. It was very good. Not the best horror film in the last 20 years but, technically, it's only part horror film. To describe it as strictly horror is a gross mislabel.

yeah but what's the point, the og is excellent and from what i hear the remake is very close to the og

Not sure if that was directed at me but I was referring to the "American" description which is more of a multi-national deal.

I'm putting a big fluffy pillow on top so I can sleep on it comfortably. Like Andvil said, it'll be a cool rent on a rainy day five years from now. Guessing it was rushed through to ride the vamp-wave before it died down completely, there's Red State but I think the trend is running on it's hindlegs.

Let Me In is about as good of a remake as you could hope for. Well worth watching.

Can't wait to catch Repo Chick.

The trailer for Red State looks very underwhelming. I doubt it would have gotten so much attention if it wasn't for Kevin Smith's name.

It was actually directed at Stephen King.

You guys are fools for deliberately ignoring Let Me In.

It was, indeed, quite similar to the original sans the castration scar and a few other details however there were a few scenes that were improved upon.

It is not a waste of time and I'm sure everyone here has wasted their time on many other flicks that deserve no recognition while this one most certainly does. If you watch this and don't like it, I will send you a time-check for 2 hours.

Can't speak for Andvil but I'm sure it's good. It's just a bit too soon and having rewatched the LTROI not long ago it's not something I'm eager to see. Only genuine concern is that I doubt the acting is on the same level, which is more of a compliment to the Swedish girl in the original than anything else.

The girl does a good job. It's more the inherent bitchness of the boy from The Road that bothers me. It's acceptable in this, though, because the boy is supposed to be a bitch anyway.
