What Films Did You Watch Today? - Page 26

I saw Drag Me To Hell today. Loved it! The yellow Oldsmobile was there and that sealed the deal for me. I really thought it was great that the audience was in on the final plot twist but the main character wasn't. (I'm trying not to be spoiler-y.) And my goodness, the garage scene had me not blinking for waaaay too long.

Yellow Oldsmobile? I don't get it.

I'm watching 2,000 Maniacs: I really wish I'd known it was going to be this bloody and graphic. I expected a little gore but ewwww. So far it's been really nasty.

I thought it was just me!

Well, I got curious so I turned to Google:
Las Vegas Weekly : - Drag Me to Hell

Quote:

From the moment our heroine walks into the bank’s parking lot and sees a beat-up yellow ’73 Oldsmobile lurking in wait—the same car Ash drives in The Evil Dead—Raimi fans will be in hog heaven.

I haven't seen any of The Evil Dead movies since I was a kid. I didn't remember the car at all. The one thing that always stuck with me from those movies was Bruce Campbell's dismembered hand trying to kill him!

All I can think of from the Evil Dead movies (I believe it was the original ED from years ago). It was black and white and this couple (or brother and sister) were walking through a cematary and he kept teasing her. "They're coming to get you, Barbara." Was that from Evil Dead?

Apparently that was Night of the Living Dead...

The key to always remembering the Evil Dead movies to me was that Bruce Campbell was the star. They kind of stamped him with a king-of-the-cheesy-B horror-movie title for a long time.

I didn't really care to see this before. But now I think I will

Also, is it just me? But when I saw the Monster or whatever it was in the preview I started shouting "I'll swallow yo soul! I'll swallow yo soul!"

Damn, I'm dying to see this! I haven't read any reviews of it yet, glad to hear a good one - thanks PG.

I went to see "Land of the Lost". I'm a sucker for sci fi and special effects. What a waste of time! I didn't expect it to be the best movie I've ever seen but thought it would be entertaining. Boy, was I wrong. It was awful!!!!! The ONLY funny parts, I had already seen in previews. It was so boring that I kept dozing off and then I hear the guy ,across from me, snoring! Yes.... it is THAT bad. Don't waste your money. What a disappointment. Will Ferrel needs to come up with a new character.

I saw a version of Fashion on YouTube that had English subtitles (it's in Hindi)-it's definitely not typical Bollywood fare, I can tell you that much. Not to mention it features my favourite actress (Kangana Ranaut) albeit in a supporting role played to perfection. If you have a lot of free time, you should search for this...

I also saw the first little bit of Raaz 2: The Mystery Continues, also with subtitles (I don't speak a lick of Hindi).
