Watched the Vincent Price movie The Tingler yesterday, which I liked. It's a pity it's getting because they're probably gonna use cheap-looking CGI for the Tingler creature and it won't be as much of a B movie as it was before.

After that, I watched the original 13 Ghosts and it was good stuff from William Castle. The fact that it took place in a haunted house kinda deal reminded me a lot of the original House on Haunted Hill -- also directed by William Castle.

Later, I watched the Stallone movie Cobra with my dad and it was pretty good. I was interested for the whole movie.

I was initially confused myself, but I think the dude feels sorry for him when he tells him that he never did **** in the army and decides to help him. Then he blasts his own dudes cause he had grown to like Bale's character. Then he turns himself in but calls on his horse to get away after he's out of sight.

Yeah, I picked up on all of that. That still doesn't mean it makes much sense.

It was just Guy Ritchie being pretentious (which he has no right to be), and trying to be as flashy as possible with an overly convoluted plot. Meh.

Watched Redneck Zombies yesterday, which wasn't bad for a direct-to-DVD movie released by Troma. It was no Toxic Avenger, but I had fun with it.

After that, I watched a Billy Chong movie called Kung Fu Zombie. For the most part, I enjoyed the movie.

Then I watched The Most Dangerous Game and it was pretty good. I think I've read the story it was based on it before -- or something very similar to the movie -- so it was cool for me to see it in movie form.

And finally, I watched a movie from 1943 called The Mysterious Doctor. It was alright and I liked the little horror element.

I watched Scary Movie 3 again today. I forgot how much I like this movie.

Though Leslie Neilson pretty much carries the whole movie himself.

Also, Tom Kenny!

Finally saw No Country for Old Men. I expected a bit more, but I enjoyed it none the less. The sound design in particular impressed me.

Watced Fulltime Killer yesterday, which was really good. I think because of it, I would like to check out some more of the director's movies.

Then I watched a blaxploitation movie called Black Caesar. For the most part, I liked it.

After that, I watched the movie Willard, starring Crispin Glover. It was actually pretty good for being a PG-13 horror movie.

Just bought and reviewed Near Dark. A little disappointing; definately not one of the best vampire flicks I've seen.

Watched The Satan Bug yesterday, which was some decent science fiction. Other than that, not much else to say about it.

Then I watched Memoirs of an Invisible Man and I liked it. Chevy Chase was great in it.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I liked it, it's a pretty funny movie. Beware of the nudity, lulz!!1!

Then again I liked Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, and Knocked Up when I saw them in theaters, but they held up horribly in the 2nd viewing, ect.

Watched Samurai Saga yesterday, which was good. There wasn't as much action as I was expecting, but ToshirĂ´ Mifune's acting made up for it.

Then I watched the 1976 version of The Omen, which was great. I'd say it still holds up today in terms of originality.

After that, I watched Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine and it was quite entertaining. It was interesting to see Vincent Price in a non-horror role for a change.

The Mist: hands down my favorite non-TMNT movie of 2007. Actually, it ties for that title with Grindhouse, but the point is, GO SEE THIS MOVIE.

I watched Xmen 3 for the first time last night. It was kinda "meh". Good, but nothing to write home about.
