WELCOME TO TOMMY'S HOUSE OF HORRORS AND THE "LAND OF THE DEAD"! - THE SHEER HORROR!

The Horror!! - George Romero's 4th entry in the Living Dead series is this 2005 fairly entertaining flick which I got to check out last night. The special effects take another step forward to the front and while I think it's a good picture, it doesn't up "Day Of" and "Day Of" didn't up "Dawn Of" and...well you get the idea. Using my internationally world famous Pinewoods Ratings System, I give this one a mediocre Two Pinewoods....The Horror!!

Land of the Dead Movie Review (2005) | Roger Ebert

In a world where the dead are returning to life, the word "trouble" has lost its meaning. --Dennis Hopper in "Land of the Dead" Now this is interesting. In the future world of "George A. Romero's Land of the Dead," both zombies and their victims have started to evolve.

WELCOME TO THOH, IT'S SATURDAY AND WE'RE "TAKING WOODSTOCK"! - 2009 ANG LEE HORROR!!

To say Taking Woodstock was a box office bomb is an understatement, returning just under 10 mil on a 30 mil budget. "Flawed masterpiece" is a term that's tossed around now and then, it's very hard to define in words but you sure know it when you see it. In this movie lover's personal opinion, this is one such work. I'll let you read some real reviews below but my first and foremost opinion on why it was so ill received is the wide array of characters, some unnecessary especially the Emile Hersh role as a crazy Vietnam vet. But it's based on a book that I read and they're all part of the real story, I'm sure Mr Lee had his challenges bringing it all to life on the screen. I'm just guessing, but I also imagine the casting choice of Demitri Martin in lead caused some stir, but I happen to think it's awesome as well as the whole rest of the cast. Jonathon Gruff is outstanding as Michael Lang. May surprise some but I give Taking Woodstock Three & 1/2 Pinewoods....The Horror!! 

Taking Woodstock Movie Review (2009) | Roger Ebert

Luckily I saw "Woodstock" again in April, so it was fresh in my mind while watching "Taking Woodstock," Ang Lee's entertaining film about the kid who made it all possible - in Woodstock, anyway. This is Elliot Teichberg, a young interior designer who leaves a New York career to return home to upstate New York and help his parents bail out their failing, shabby motel.

'Taking Woodstock,' But Not All That Seriously

Ang Lee's agreeable comedy looks at the now-legendary music festival through the eyes of the Catskills motel owners who, in the summer of 1969, found themselves at the center of a counter-culture event. Critic Scott Tobias says it's like making the gravedigger the hub of a Hamlet remake.

The great Eugene Levy as Max Yasgur.

Assigned to find one of the last remaining Tasmanian tigers in existence, has his company told him all he needs to know about the hunt....The Horror!! Pinewoods Rating System - Four Tall Pinewoods.

The Hunter - review

Hunting is a longstanding metaphor in the movies. From the great explorer films of the early years such as The Lost World and King Kong, through to westerns, and later classics such as The Deer Hunter and White Hunter Black Heart, directors have used nature and the chase to depict man confronting his inner self, wrestling with his wild ego and his civilised id.

'The Hunter,' an Australian Odyssey With Willem Dafoe

"The Hunter," filmed in Tasmania, has the faintly surreal look peculiar to Australian movies in which nature pulses with a mysterious, primordial shimmer. Adapted from Julia Leigh's novel and directed by Daniel Nettheim from a screenplay by Alice Addison, the film tells the story of a lone hunter from another continent searching for a creature that may not exist in an old-growth forest largely untouched by humans.
