I forgot to mention, p diddy is a pretty shitty actor. When this movie came out there was a ton of bullshit about how he was so great, blah blah blah. I thought he sucked in most of his scenes and he was a lame ass character.
Puppet Master: The Legacy - 1/5
I Spit on Your Grave 4/10
A revenge flick from 1978. Chick from NYC rents a place in the country to write a book and gets gang raped by some yokels. Rather than calling the cops she takes care of it herself. One of the kills is interesting but its mostly a dull movie and the rape scene goes on way too long.
I know I'm a little behind but just watched The Breakfast Club and I'll give it a 8/10. Much more intellectually stimulating than I expected. Thumbs Up!
A Prophet 2009 8/10

Had no idea what this was about going into it, a friend brought a copy he got through Netflix. This was pretty awesome. I don't understand French, but the dialogue/script appeared to be fantastic with the English subtitles. Acting was very convincing, and, the level of detail that was covered in terms of the story is just mind blowing. Very sophisticated, hard to keep track of all that's going on. But, it's not confusing or bad, just, complicated. Tahar Rahim kicked ass in this film.
Yep, pretty great film and he certainly was great. I think there are a few reviews of it here.

I have no doubt that others have reviewed it... but, my friend put it in without even telling me the title ... he said, I have a movie to watch, and stuck in in my bluray player... hah
Haha, nice! I had been thinking about getting it on Blu. :hmm:
I stumbled upon it too; randomly went to it at the film festival last year since it just happened to be playing when I was free. Loved it and ended up seeing it again in the theatre.

Ghost World 9/10 - Wow... I can't believe I've never seen this movie. I saw Reservoir Dogs over the weekend (again) and I started looking for more Steve Buscemi movies. I noticed that Buscemi starred in this movie called "Ghost World", so I decided to rent it. This movie is a true gem. The performances by Thora Birch and Buscemi made this movie. Scarlett Johannson was in the movie as well, but she didn't shine as much as Birch. The story is very unique and truly entertaining.
He brought it on DVD, I just use my BR player for DVDs since Panasonic upscaling looks better than the upscalling done by my phillips dvd player. (So I stuck the DVD player in the living room on my little tiny 26inch TV.)
Agreed...Ahh, I see, good call. Good DVD upconversion makes such a difference. :thumbsup:

House on Haunted Hill (1999) - 8/10 ..... surprisingly kept my interest and actually had scary parts. Worth a rental. I'll be doing the original soon (1960s I think).
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - 8.5/10: I had not seen this since I was a kid and I remember kind of liking it, but I got the Blu-ray yesterday (beautiful transfer by the way) and I loved even more than I remembered. The humour in the beginning is great and the feeling of terror and confusion as things begin to turn is done very well, there are some great shots too; the fish eye of Donald Sutherland at the beginning with his big afroed mug looking in the peephole was awesome and hilarious, plus some subtle shots like the janitor buffing the floor slowly in complete silence later on did a great job with the suspense. It is a tiny bit long, probably could have shaved off about 10 minutes somewhere, but overall it's pretty freaking awesome. Great stuff.
