The movie thread

Do you guys even consider these torture porn movies horror? I sure dont I just classify them as Gore honestly. In retrospect, I should have checked out IMDB before watching. Also, just got done watching District 9 and forgot how awesome a movie it is. I really hope there is a well done sequel coming out in 2013 (3 years ;-) )

There are a lot of people that would watch snuff films if they were more widely available. Growing up watching violence on TV and in movies has desensitized people to it.

I do not consider it Horror. I think it appeals to a weird sense in people. Some people need to see it or want to see it, but once I saw real life gore I realized how unnecessary it is.

So true Chadd, and also sad. The first gore movie I watched was Dead Alive. I watched the first two SAW movies and honestly, nothing after that till Eden Lake. Just not my type of genre. I guess I was sorta hoping for some sort of revenge which is why I kept watching. (Just revenge to the right person for those who have watched it)

Totally agree with you. I must say though, it seems as if that genre is dying down quickly.

Watched Captain America the other night, not all that bad. Seemed to be a pretty good example for the genre and only a few scenes where the green screen use was painful.

Im probably one of the few who would love a Dum Dum Dugan movie with Neal McDonough.

I just watched Brick. Excellent movie that I should have seen earlier.

Brick is awesome!

If you guys like horror SPoofs, check out "Dale ad Tucker Vs. Evil". I saw it on comcast ondemand so it may not be out yet. Hilarious though.

If you do not mind accents, "Attack the Block" is pretty awesome as well.

[Vulcan7905 88]

Yes, Dale and Tucker vs Evil is awesome with an original story. I also liked Attack The Block, at first I thought it was going to be more comedy because of Edgar Wright, but it fell into the action genre more.

I really liked Tucker and Dale vs Evil. I was laughing pretty hard throughout the whole movie. My favorite movie as of late has to be Drive though. I thought it was great. It's one of the few movies that I went into without really knowing the story (I work at a movie theatre so a lot of the big details of movies gets told to me, whether I like it or not).

Warrior was amazing! Check it out!

Coming from someone who grew up in the '80s/'90s I loved Hot Tub Time Machine (if not for just the soundtrack alone!), and recently watched Take Me Home Tonight with my wife. What a hoot. Great use of the time era, and some good laughs, and great music too of course!

Great movie!

I just watched a 2002 movie called "Joshua", and really enjoyed it. It shows up on cable, late night, occasionally. Tony Goldwyn played the lead, and I usually like his work, and the small movies he appears in. This movie sounded interesting enough to check out, and I was surprised how much I liked it. No zombies, vampires, action, or sex; it's mostly about people coming together, and it made me feel good.
