The Geek Couch: Movie Tally
22Dec/110

The Expendables (2010)

★★★½

Watched the Director's  Cut. While it's a mild improvement (CG blood cleaned up, tighter editing, a bit more "character development") THE EXPENDABLES is still THE EXPENDABLES. It's a meat-head attempt at the "ultimate man movie" that falls short and is more like a Direct To Video movie you'll find in the bargain bin at Walmart. Still, I enjoy it for what it is.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)

★★½

Wow. Forgot how much of a train wreck this was. I still couldn't take my eyes off it!

Trick ‘r Treat (2007)

★★★★★

Halloween tradition.

30Oct/110

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

★★★★

Watched this with the kids. I was surprised that they liked it as much as they did.

I really like this flick. It's way better than Ang Lee's horrible attempt and Norton is great.

Jurassic Park (1993)

★★★★½

It's amazing that this was made back in 1993. The CGI effects hold up beautifully and are better than most CGI seen in today's rushed productions.

Great film & it is simply stunning on Blu Ray!

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

20111019-184324.jpg

★★★½

The best of the sequels. Looks pretty decent on Blu Ray.

18Oct/110

Cronos (1993)

20111018-210637.jpg

★★★★★

Macabre. Dark. Funny.

Guillermo del Toro flips the Vampire genre on it's head. Still one of my favorite Horror films of all time.

The Orphanage (2007)

20111015-220919.jpg

★★★★½

One of the best ghost stories to come around in a long time. Great atmosphere & acting. Genuine scares the first time around. One of my favorites.

12Oct/110

Teen Wolf (1985)

★★★★

Michael J. Fox's follow up to BACK TO THE FUTURE wasn't as epic, but it still is pretty fun.
