pretty bad, but i was migraining and writing a script so i’m not too unhappy.

~Halloween II, 1981 – it seems like it should have been better than it was…but it was pretty damn bad. you can tell someone different is playing Michael, which is distracting.
~Friday the 13th: Part 2, 1981 – a rewatch, from when i was 11. honestly, this one is a damn good sequel.
~Alice, 1988 – has some issues but in general is a pretty intriguing take on Alice in Wonderland. also saw the short “Darkness Light Darkness” which i thought was hysterical.
~Nosferatu, 1929 – after all this time, all i can say is “eh.”
~Taste the Blood of Dracula, 1970 – note to all movies of this kind: do not make people bored whilst waiting for Christopher Lee to show up again.
~Friday the 13th, 1980 – loads of gore-fun.
~Vampire’s Kiss, 1989 – damn this is bad, but if you like Nic Cage, he pulls out a pretty fun performance with very little to work with.

been doing better this month+change.

~Interview with the Vampire, 1994 – a rewatch, and i was right. it’s awful.
~Van Helsing, 2004 – crap, but pretty crap. very interesting effects.
~Dracula 2000, 2000 – um. the “twist” made me want to throw my TV through the window.
~Bram Stoker’s Dracula, 1992 – well, it’s not good, but it’s not horrific either. Anthony Hopkins is so campy!
~Embrace of the Vampire, 1994 – it’s a bad movie, but i can’t deny that parts of it are pretty erotic.
~Night Watch, 2005 – the special effects are INSANELY good; the ending was such a disappointment!
~Dracula, 1931 – oh, it’s good. why fight it?
~Fright Night, 1985 – silliness! but good, cheesy, 80s silliness.
~13 Ghosts, 2001 – i have a soft spot for both Tony Shalhoub and Matthew Lillard, so this is a fun movie to watch.
~Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, 2001 – c-movie joy!
~Vampire in Brooklyn, 1995 – oof. the only good part is Angela Bassett, who rocks the role.
~I Heart Huckabees, 2004 – i see what they’re trying to do. not successful, but i see it.
~Vampires, 1998 – it’s actually pretty neat! it needs a sequel.
~Elizabethtown, 2005 – oh god, please shut these people up already!!
~The Serpent and the Rainbow, 1988 – intriguing!
~Magic, 1978 – terrific, even though it’s occasionally hard to watch Hopkins.
~Air America, 1990 – arrrrgh!
~Masters of Horror: Pelts (Dario Argento), 2006 – not bad, not bad…
~The Hitcher, 1984 – love! Rutger Hauer is love!
~Election, 1999 – so annoying i couldn’t even finish it.
~Audrey Rose, 1977 – very sad, yet almost irritatingly spiritual.
~Cemetery Man, 1996 – after a bit it was all WTF??
~Hellbound: Hellraiser II, 1988 – oh, man, NO one should reveal a “masked man”’s face in the first sequel. dammit.
~Hellraiser, 1987 – this was actually pretty good, and kinda erotic, too.
~A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, 1985 – unbelievably silly, tho the main male character was endearing.

only 13 in february, which isn’t good at all. i have to do better. i give myself a slight pass because of work and a short month; 13 movies in 4 weeks isn’t something to sneeze at. that’s a little over 3 movies a week. but still, need to pick up the pace if i’m gonna make 250 by end Dec.

~ Saw 3, 2006 – eh.
~ A Nightmare on Elm Street, 1984 – cute!
~ Saw 2, 2005 – not bad, not bad. good traps.
~ Apartment Zero, 1988 – a rewatch. still really fantastic.
~ Z, 1969 – hard to watch; interesting story.
~ Saw, 2004 – eh.
~ Parting Glances, 1986 – sometimes tedious, but a great ending.
~ Sideways, 2004 – eurgh. awful.
~ My Super Ex-Girlfriend, 2006 – anna faris saves the film.
~ They Live, 1988 – we all know this movie rules.
~ Death to Smoochy, 2002 – watching it again it wasn’t as funny…
~ Troy, 2004 – a rewatch just for eye candy. wish i could skip the Brad Pitt parts.
~ Serenity, 2005 – i swear they MEAN to act that badly. love, love, love for Chiwetel Ejiofor.
