What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Ed Hocken]

If anything, it'll give people to finally see Michael Connelly's other main character Harry Bosch a chance to finally show up. Connelly just got the rights back from Paramount.

I also believe Connelly's next book involves Haller.

Ed: did your theater seem to dig the movie? Our theater REALLY did, with quite a few people clapping at the end. Also, the post showing 'walk out' conversation was very enthusiastic about it.

[Ed Hocken]

The theater seemed to enjoy it, it was a much older crowd as I saw it on a Sunday afternoon.

Piranha 3D:

That's not a good movie, but at least it's aware of it, and it has KELLY BROOKS NAKED IN IT. And Jerry O'Connell losing his dick, as Rob said it best in the BDR podcast. A fun 1h20 minute, if anything. How the fuck will they bring back Ving Rhames in the sequel is beyond me though. Just bring back Brook and her wonderful body!


La Horde (The Horde)

The French new horror wave is great. After movies like À l'intérieur, Frontière(s) and Martyrs, they show that they can both innovate and imitate the best. So their take on the zombies* is close to 28 Days Later, set in a crappy abandonned tower, and of course attacking the subject of the French ghettos. 4 cops raid a tower to avenge a fallen officer killed by criminals located on top of the tower. The raid goes badly, but shit really hits the fan when there's more intruders coming up the tower...

So, classic zombie movie, told well, and well done. Bravo.

*Warning: Fast zombies!

Ils was also fantastic.

[Martin]

Haven't seen it yet!

[Captain Russ]

Nihilistic fun for the whole family.

[Martin]

Seen Martyrs and Inside?

[Captain Russ]

I've yet to check them out, but I've got an urge to watch some foreign horror films and they sound like winners. Good to hear about The Horde, as I'll be seeking that one out as well.

[Martin]

À L'intérieur is flawed as hell (most of the characters acts like retards), but it has balls.

And Martyrs? Shit, the 2nd hour and the ending pushes the limit of torture porn, but again, wow. Ballsy.

Both are worth a look, really.

EDIT: And the wife remembered Ils before I did! So much better than the piece-of-shit The Strangers...

[BillyG]

Martyrs, man, that's a film.

[Martin]

Not my favorite horror movie (hellll The Thing!), but I admire the guts the producing team had. Holy shit.

  Spoiler: SPOILERS!!!!! 

Any movie who has the main protagonist flayed alive on screen by the end of it's runtime deserves respect.

[Martin]

Also, I rewatched Krull.

Fuck me did it aged a lot, but I respect it so much for being original. God I love the 80's. And the Slayers were so badass compared to the typical henchmen of the 80's, the dumb Stormtrooper.

BASEketball.

Fuck, I still laughed pretty hard throughout this flick. Is this the last David Zucker flick to be actually funny?

About half of Encounters at the End of the World. Herzog rules. Not really Ingrid's cup o' tea.
