just watched the punisher warzone have too say its one of the most brutal films i've seen in a while but it kicks ass on so many levels and has made me a die hard punisher fan like the other 2 films.

Bob Clark's Deathdream. For those of you who don't know, Clark is responsible for such films as A Christmas Story, Porky's, and (*shudder*) Baby Geniuses. For horror fans however, he made the chilling 1974 film Black Christmas. BC was a Canadian thriller that was a low-key release at the time, but released four years before Halloween, it shared quite a few similarities with John Carpenter's flick (so much so that Clark claimed he told Carpenter an idea for a hypothetical BC sequel called yes, Halloween). Black Christmas was remade in 2006, and from what I saw, it was complete shit.

Anyway, Deathdream starts with a hazy Vietnam scene, and we're introduced to the main character, Andy. His friend immediately gets shot, and lets out some disturbing cries of pain. We see a few close-ups of a clearly traumatized Andy, and then he gets hit, and his fate is left unclear. The next moments of the film reveal the protagonist's family, who get a visit by an officer with news of Andy's death. Not long after though, Andy shows up at their door, and the plot sets in. I'd highly recommend Deathdream, as it's one of those effective films that mixes slow-paced suspense with well done practical effects (Tom Savini's first job, right back from Vietnam coincidentally). Also, the dynamic of Andy's family develops intriguingly throughout; the characterizations are thought out.

The Black Christmas remake is pretty crappy, but I have a special place in my heart for it.

The original is chilling.

Watched RocknRolla yesterday. It was pretty good, but you had to watch it real closely or else you wouldn't know what they're doing, cos the plot was quite confusing, at least the beginning. But it was pretty good overall.

i watched the wrestler yesterday, great movie i like the ending as well.

Can't go wrong with wrestling and strip clubs.

Saw 88 minutes the other night and thought it was good even though it got bad reviews. The ending was predictable and Pacino was great in it.

I watched a special edition of Blade Runner, i don't know what all the fuss is about, it was ok, but not that good.

Maybe i should watch the regular version.

blade runner is the main film that sparked cyberpunk basically if ya watch that you have already played snatched too a degree since it borrows heavily from blade runner but obviously changes the story a lot, its a classic film and i would recommend it too anyone, also on the note of films i watched the punisher (with tom jane) damn i've missed that film alot.

[nemesiswontdie]

snatcher is a great game and i heard they were alike so i really want to see blade runner
