Recent Movies

I’ve spend this week at a holiday house with some friends, and naturally we saw a lot of movies.

Army of Darkness (1992) (8/10)

This… is my BOOMSTICK! Another cult-hit, and my favorite Sam Raimi movie.

Epic Movie (2007) (1/10)

No comments.

Hannibal Rising (2007) (6/10)

Didn’t expect much from this movie, I was just hoping they would show how Lecter became the cold-blooded psycho he is in a proper way. Unfortunately they didn’t, when Lecter was a kid, during World War 2, his family was killed and German soldiers occupied his house. They were starving, so they boiled and ate Lecter’s sister. That’s more or less the traumatic experience that’s supposed to be the reason that Lecter turned into a cannibalistic killer. Just doesn’t seem believable.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) (9/10)

A classic, I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this masterpiece but it’s just as fun every time.

Scarface (1983) (9/10)

Another classic and another great movie, with one of my favorite anti-heroes in the shape of Tony Montana.

Slither (2006: 6/10)

I’ve written about Slither on my blog before, it’s a fun horror-comedy flick, although this second viewing was a bit harder to get through without yawning too many times.

Slither

I’m beginning to like these new horror movies that don’t take themselves too seriously, but still have big enough budgets to include incredible special effects and make-up, for example the remake of Dawn of the Dead, the Tarantino/Rodriguez project Grindhouse (from the look of the trailers anyway) and now also Slither. The plotline is a classic; an alien lifeform lands on earth, starts turning people into mutants and zombies, who then have to be defeated by the local townsfolk.

Great mix of astonishing CGI and make-up makes the creatures seem incredibly lifelike, the humor is great, especially because of Nathan “Capt. Reynolds” Fillion, one of my new favorite actors, and then there are just a bunch of cool, gory scenes.

Well, instead of going into detail I though I’d just post some of the highlights with screenshots (click images for bigger ones):


Whiplash to the torso, auch.

Poor Brenda is being used as a vomb…


… and here she gives birth by exploding.

Small girls freak me out.

Slither – 7/10.
