have you seen Tonight I Will Possess Your Corpse? I favor it over At Midnight. Coffin Joe is more demented if thats even possible

yes, definitely, just fyi, I have not seen it yet but there's a third movie to complete the trilogy, Embodiment of Evil (2008), by some accounts it's pretty good so fingers crossed that it pops up soon

Forbiden World (1982)
8.5/10- A little fun '80s underrated horror/scifi movie. The opening scene is just amazing, and the editing is pretty good.
The Evil Dead (1981) (rewatch)
10/10
Evil Dead II (1987) (rewatch)
10/10
Army of Darknes AKA Evil Dead 3 (1992) (rewatch)
8/10
Evil Dead (2013)
8.5/10
(rewatch) - I think it's great, but forgotten horror movie. But anyway, I like how it is too serious horror, dark and it's bloody awesome! The special effects/makeup were freaking awesome, and has absolutely no CGI (if I am right). I think it's the best job they ever did for horror movies since 2000. Very well-done! I thought the actors were all good, and the movie had better cast than Army of Darkness. I think they did very good jobs when they played possessed characters. Of course, it can't be better than the original or Evil Dead II, but I liked it better than Army of Darkness. I originally rated it a 10/10 on first viewing, but after re-watching I gave it a 8.5/10. It's still brutal movie, but it's not the movie that I would watch over and over.
Non-horror movies:
Office Chrisrmas Party (2016)
7/10
The Night Before (2015)
9/10
Final Cut: Hölgyeim és uraim (2012)
10/10 - Different actors and movies, the same story. This is a masterpiece, and one of the greatest works of art! I'm surprised it has only 1,500 votes on IMDb, more movie fans should to watch it.

Hi Scott,
Based upon your reaction to Ghost Dog I would say that you have the makings of a Jarmusch fan - and the good news is that his films are remarkably consistent. I like them all and love many of them.
The Bees is actually the film that solidified my admiration for John Saxon. Any actor who can believably deliver some of the dialogue he does here is absolutely awesome. This film is so ridiculous it leaves me feeling giddy afterwards. Love it.
My own week was a lot more subdued although I did see a handful of great and near great flicks:
13)
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
(1973)
Gordon Hessler

5th V. 12/18

Gremlins 2
(1990)

And I finished the Phoenix storyline in Dark Shadows. Only 15 or so more episodes until Barnabus Collins puts in his first appearance.

seth_yeah — 9 years ago(December 28, 2016 11:34 AM)
I'm not gonna say I watched some movies last week, but let's just say I watched some movies.
After Death (Oltre la morte) (1989)- 2/1O
The Forgotten One (1989) - 6 or maybe 7/1O for the hot sex
The Hateful Eight (2015) - 6/1O, terrible dialogue, pointless story but beautifully composed with an amazing score worked into it. I will watch it again. It should have been a silent movie (I mean, no dialogue).
Dead Calm (1989) - 6 or 7/1O. I'm glad I watched it without my girl-spouse. She'd have been all gay for Billy Zane's hotness, only heterosexually.
toile (1989)
1O/1O
, son of a bitch. Also, better than
Black Swan
. Other IMDb reviewers complain it is too slow.
Celia (1989)- 7 or 8/1O, disturbing. Didn't know what to expect from it and got the unexpected.
How to Be Single (2016) - 1/1O. Its only value is to historically preserve the idea of what a crap movie could possibly be at the time of its making.
Woman of the Year (1942) - 5/1O or more, or less. Just a movie.
- 2/1O
