    • Agreed. Get Shorty was great. Be Cool was nowhere near.

      • I don't remember reading anyone's reviews of Beyond the Black Rainbow. Was it any good or did it try to hard to be like a Kubrick film?

        • I heard it was surprisingly creepy in its opening and uniquely strange enough to get at least a pass. I'm very curious to see it myself.
          I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.

          • Which of these films if any, are worth my time?

            • Paranormal 3 was fun. THe Host is good. I really like VHS. Armored was decent. Tim and Eric is fucking hilarious. I really enjoy Skyline and I know everyone hates it.

              • VHS is great. I've been thinking its about time for a rewatch. Abe Lincoln: Axe Wielder is SUPER ridiculous but pretty entertaining.

                • Oh, and The Girlfriend Experience is better than you'd expect but moves pretty slow.

                  • VHS is terrible - lazy, generic, plodding, not to mention devoid of real tension or scares. That it can get the horror community pumped up shows just how starved those fans (and I include myself in that bracket) are for real quality in the genre.

                      • Horror fans or not, VHS is no where near as bad as you two continually make it out be.

                        • It definitely doesn't deserve high praise either.

                          After that opening segment it never recovers. It occilates between half-baked ideas and bland, usually telegraphed cliches. Anthologies are tough to balance, but the added fatigue of found footage bullshit set it up to fail.

                          • There are some segments worth your time with VHS.

                            Rock of Ages was ok, mainly for Tom Cruise, who kills in it.

                            AVOID The Three Musketeers. GARBAGE. And I have a high tolerance for shit.

                            Skyline is bad. Then awesome. Then bad. Then awesome. The aliens invades for spectacularely poor reasons, but it's kinda fun.

                              And that's why you're the Captain.

                              This is my first time bashing it here after my return from the wilderness, man!

                              What did you like about it? Beyond the (admittedly cool) faux-retro 80s aesthetic, did this movie have anything special to offer? I want something more from a film, especially a horror film, than a shallow nostalgia trip filled with lazy nudity and utterly telegraphed "jump" moments.

                              I'm really not trying to start an argument; it just irks me the way so many horror fans lap this stuff up (no wonder there's so much rubbish in the genre now) when the best thing about it is probably the poster.

                              Which bits did you like, mate? I just remember groaning (and not in any kind of good way) through most of it.

                              • Can anyone recommend me a horror flick that offers a shallow nostalgia trip filled with lazy nudity and utterly telegraphed "jump" moments? I've been jonesing for one.
