Paranormal Activity 3

October 25, 2011 | Filed under: Horror, Still of the Day

Paranormal Activity 3 – directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman There seems to be a portion of the horror going audience that looks down on the Paranormal Activity movies. I’m not entirely sure why this is. I can certainly see where this style of filmmaking doesn’t work for some …

The Thing (2011)

October 19, 2011 | Filed under: Horror, Movies, Still of the Day

The Thing (2011) – Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. ::EDIT:: Apparently, according to this interview that a friend showed me, the majority of the effects in this movie were indeed practical effects rather than CGI. So I stand corrected on that. It’s pretty goddamned amazing effects then, because compared …

Basic Instinct

September 16, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Basic Instinct – Directed by Paul Verhoeven Basic Instinct came out in 1992. I was fourteen years old. I can distinctly remember being dropped off at the theater by my mom, walking up to the box office and buying one ticket and going in to watch the movie by myself. …

An American Werewolf in London

September 15, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

An American Werewolf in London directed by John Landis There was a very brief window during the eighties when John Landis was a horror guy. He did the very effective (and scary as shit when you’re 5) video for Thriller in 1983 and he did a segment in the Twilight …

Red State

September 13, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Here’s what Red State is for anyone who wants to know: Ten minutes of teenage boys talking about ass fucking A half hour of Michael Parks giving a boring fake sermon about how homosexuals are ruining the world. Two minutes of horror movie stuff. A half hour of Michael Parks …

Straw Dogs

September 12, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Straw Dogs – Directed by Sam Peckinpah As you may know, I’m not someone who complains about remakes. I generally have no problem with the retelling of stories. I think it’s healthy and necessarily for the development of new stories and as a way to understand our own culture and the ideas …

Contagion

September 11, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Best part about Contagion: stupid Gwyneth Paltrow dies right at the beginning. YAY! Worst part: they kept showing her in flashbacks all through the movie. BOO! Second best part: When they autopsied her brain and flipped her scalp up over her face. Second worst part: It started off not being …

I Spit On Your Grave (2010)

August 18, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

I Spit On Your Grave – Directed by Steven R. Monroe It takes a certain something particular inside a person to make them want to watch graphically violent horror movies. It’s a specific personality trait that only exists in a small segment of the population. This small portion of people, …

Tortoise? What’s that?

August 5, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Blade Runner – Directed by Ridley Scott I think that Blade Runner could come out tomorrow and be just as successful and well received as it was in 1982. Possibly even more so. Everything about it holds up. The effects, the style, the use of genre, the acting and music. It’s all …

Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys and Aliens

August 2, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Cowboys and Aliens – Directed by Jon Favreau I enjoyed Cowboys and Aliens. It was a lot of fun and it was nice to see Harrison Ford do something interesting. I feel like he’s been tredding water for the last fifteen years, and this felt like an actual risk, which …

12 Monkeys

July 26, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

This was the movie, for me anyway, established Brad Pitt as a formidable and respectable actor. Keep in mind that this was 1995. I was 17 thought I was so goddamned intellectually superior. I had dismissed Brad as a pretty, talentless male model who was kept around because he had a square jaw …

Trick R Treat

July 18, 2011 | Filed under: Still of the Day

Trick R Treat – Directed by Michael Dougherty I absolutely loved Trick R Treat. It was one of those movies that I heard about years and years before it actually came out. For whatever reason, it was tangled up in distribution red-tape bullshit and sat on a shelf for something like, two or …
