8MM 2 (2005)
Sooo underrated!. Very interesting film
I had watched this film many years ago, almost when it came out, and i remember I was thrilled. I was always curious why the ratings were so low, until recently, when I ran into this film again and now i think its safe to say it truly is so underrated!
The story takes place in Budapest where a young couple (soon to get married) spend a weekend. As every similar movie filmed in the Eastern Europe, it creates a dark and mysterious scenery. It also contains many nude and sex scenes which may look excessive but in my opinion they contribute to the whole atmosphere.
As you probably read in the storyline, the couple gets secretly filmed and then blackmailed by some people which appear to belong in the Hungarian Mafia. The plot evolves beautifully and as far as the actors.. i know Johnathon Schaech's acting is not that gifted but you have to admit that guy looks really cool lol
Personally, I don't care if it has nothing to do with 8mm I neither if it should be called differently. Whichever the title is, it is a nice film especially for those who are into mystery-crime-thrillers.I definitely suggest you to watch it and even if you don't get that excited I guarantee you ll have a fun couple of hours :)
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Disappointed..Why all the fuss?
For starters I am really surprised by the high ratings.. I understand that these kind of movies have 'followers' but 8.2?? come on!
I read other reviews pointing out the fact that its not a typical horror movie. Well I agree.. But I really don't know in what genre of films does this movie actually belong to.. the lack of identity is obvious and really annoying for me..
The concept is not bad. First half of the movie was interesting, lots of action, nice quotes, good and scary enough ''poppers''. After a certain point though I couldn't wait for the end. It was like the plot was evolving too quickly and the they had to fill the rest of the movie with chasing,blood,monsters etc. Everybody was claiming ''eveything is part of mythology or other movies'' but that DOES NOT make the film good. So what if you take characters of 100 films, put them together without a purpose..?
Anyway I was really disappointed especially after seeing the ratings and some reviews. So don't get your hopes that high.
