Jurassic Park 3D was helluva good time. Best up-converted 3D I've ever seen (made Episode I look like Clash of the Titans). Do yourselves a favor; skip Evil Dead and celebrate the 20th Anniversary of one of Spielberg's greatest popcorn films.

*sigh* Jurassic Park III really didn't hold up on my revisit this evening....
I think it's a good flick, but still the weakest in the series. I do think it gets too much hate, but at the same time I kind of get it... I mean, just in comparison. The first movie was and is amazing, and the second movie was inevitably disappointing because of how amazing the first was, but even still I thought the second movie was great and underappreciated. The third though, well it's good - but again not amazing or great so it is the weakest yes, for sure, but I still think it's enjoyable.
Though I'm really not interested in a 4th movie, I guess I would not be against it either because of how lackluster the 3rd one was. IF it's a pretty damn good idea. It could turn out like SCREAM which had a shit 3rd movie, and redeemed itself with 4.
Watched it once on a lark, haven't been back since. The one part that's stuck with me is that wicked neck-snap the Spinosaurus pulls on the T-Rex. That was, like, 20 points of badass in a 5-point movie.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
| Directed by: | Rachel Talalay |
|---|---|
| Written by: | Michael De Luca |
| Cast: | Robert Englund, Lisa Zane, Shon Greenblatt, Lezlie Deane |
| Studio: | New Line |
| Genre: | Horror |
| Official Site: |
Plot: Taking place 10 years in the future (as if it matters), Springwood is now bone-dry of its child inhabitants. Freddy has plans though to expand and start anew with the help of a special someone from his past.
Review:
All good things must come to an end, and for the long running staple horror franchise from New Line Cinema, it was time. Due to a downward trend in popularity and obvious diminishing returns, it was time to lay Freddy to rest for good. But whether or not the studio would deliver a satisfying ending for fans is another story...[more]...
I think the three best NOES entries were the original, part three, and New Nightmare, which were coicidentally the ones Wes Craven had some kind of direct involvement in creating.

Revisiting some early Spielberg this week before checking out Jurassic Park:3D.
Duel is an excellent lead-in to Jaws! He even uses the same ''Roar'' sound effect!

So what's the consensus on G.I. Joe 2? Worth checking out in theaters or should I just wait for the rental (or, perhaps skip entirely)?
if you liked the first see it in the theatre from the sounds of things. Most seem to like it more than the original and there is apparently les OTT and cheesy stuff, for better or for worse I guess

Hook is an under-appreciated Spielberg work. While the story does come up a little short at times and is heavy-handed, this film does offer some entertaining and at times rather touching moments. Also, the production design creates a fun and imaginative atmosphere assisted by John Williams' superb score. You are the Pan!!!!!
Even Spielberg at his worst is pretty great, it's a childhood favourite of mine, I'll always have a soft spot for it.
^My thought exactly, I still remember seeing this in theaters back in 1991.

Watched one of my favorite Bond films today, Goldeneye. While it does have some flaws, overall I think it's a damn good show. Not to mention the classic N64 game based on the film is forever tattooed to my brain.

I think Ted Levine's performance in The Silence of the Lambs is a little under-appreciated. This dude pulls off creepy pretty effectively I think in this film.
Hannibal Hopkins gets more screentime, and he becomes an icon. However, Buffalo Bill is also a realistic type of scary. Levine managed to masterfully make him so. And, too often, cinephiles forget Levine's performance.

I have to say the "Attitude Era" mode in WWE 13' has been a lot of fun so far. Brings back a lot of memories of this classic period of professional wrestling.

Checking out Spielberg's Empire of the Sun for the first time today. It's decent I guess, not one his top-tier works though.
yeah, I keep putting that one off... just can't get terribly excited to see it despite the cast and crew... the trailers just don't do anything for me really

Watching The Fisher King this evening. I love this movie, probably my favorite Gilliam work next to Brazil and 12 Monkeys.

Dead Ringers
| Directed by: | David Cronenberg |
|---|---|
| Written by: | David Cronenberg, Norman Snider |
| Cast: | Jeremy Irons, Geneviève Bujold, Heidi von Palleske, Barbara Gordon |
| Studio: | Fox |
| Genre: | Drama, Thriller |
| Official Site: |
Plot: Identical Twins Elliot and Beverely (Jeremy Irons) are inseperable and live one life together. When their exploits begin to test the world they worked so hard to maintain however, neither man will be the same.
Review:
David Cronenberg closed out the 1980's with this dark thriller about two identical twins and the bond they share. Like many of Cronenberg's films, it may not be one the most accessible flicks you watch on a blind viewing. It begins very well, giving a glimpse at the strange life these two men have and their effective schemes they execute on everyone they encounter. Jeremy Irons plays both roles extremely well, anchoring the film with a wide range of character moods and effective dialogue. Unfortunately, the films starts to slip though during the final act, becoming a little too convoluted as you try to decipher which twin is going through changes. I have to say though I will probably re-visit this film, if not for Irons great performance and the eerie atmosphere. If your a fan of Cronenberg's work though you will be right at home with this one.

As 2012 draws to a close I think I'm going to award my favorite film overall to Prometheus. Probably the most divisive film release of the year, but to hell with it. Loved the film, look forward to more of Sir Ridley's future projects.
Amen brutha!
