Hired out ten films today, one of which was I Spit on Your Grave. I'm really excited.

I seen it in the cinema & thought it was great! It was the loudest movie i have ever seen in the cinema!
I didn't like Hostel.
I think there is to many movie's out now trying to out do each other with Gore. Long gone are horror's that have killing in them but also scare's now it's just hack this guy up cut this dude's eye out...after you have seen a few they are just all the same boring as.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

does anyone else have the same feelings towards the movie?

I do. The movie was so cheesy and predictable that it bored me out of my mind. One of the most standard affairs of last year. Doubt, Revolutionary Road, The Wrestler, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and even Milk were much better than it.


Of those that I've seen, Milk > Slumdog Millionaire > Revolutionary Road


Mine would be Milk > The Wrestler > Revolutionary Road > Slumdog Millionaire > Doubt > The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I cannot get into the movie at all. There is no comparison.
I know the movie is only based on the book, but I still cant get into the movie, knowing how awesome the book is.

does anyone else have the same feelings towards the movie?

Interesting, I haven't read the book but I heard it was really shit. I've seen the movie though and I enjoyed it.

IMO, drag me to hell was too weak, for a horror. i had to admit there was one or two parts where it was like 'where did she come from', but most of the movie was pretty weak. and what was with the part where she seemed too 'deepthroat' her arm? and she was always vomiting. It was the director of the evil dead, so it obviously shows that he hasnt ungraded his horror techniques.

As for hostel, i was just intrigued by it due to Quentin Tarantino directing it, and i like most of his stuff. It was a lot like a saw-ish movie, but it had its own elements of originality to it. i thought it was good.

i think its just one of those things where if you read the book before the movie, you will relate to the book and the movie will seem shit, where as people that dont read the book and see the movie will think its awesome and will never get into the book.

Eli Roth directed it. Tarantino is his friend and put his name to it to get Roth funding. He's brought a lot of shit to our shores, but he also got Hero released here so I will never complain that he gets money to the wrong people.

I think if they hadn't died millions of heads would explode worldwide in sheer incredulity.
And Tom Cruise may be an utter douche but he's had some pretty good performances.

Yep, I thought it was better than Open Your Eyes, primarily because I think Tom Cruise did better in the role. I know you thought the opposite, but there we go.

Open Your Eyes was superior, in my opinion, but I didn't really love it either.

Sometimes I like Titanic, sometimes I don't.

I went through my list movies I've seen that I still have to review looking for girly films but only had one Sad

Labor Pains (2009)

Cute and entertaining, but overly average and slightly irritating.

She didn't look too thin in the movie. That is the beauty of film, the actors play characters, not themselves, so in the movie she wasn't anorexic or a lesbian.

Ladies and gentlemen, the worst film ever. So many people will have you believe, including myself (my previous pet hate was Mars Attacks). I'm going to spoil the hell out of this film, but in the end nothing happens you wouldn't expect.

Camille Keaton plays Jennifer, a New Yorker travelling out to the countryside to write a novel. While on a boat in the middle of the river two guys come along(one of which who reminds me of the Bear Jew from Inglorious Basterds, but I couldn't find an appropriate image to put on here), tie their boat to hers, bring her to two other men , beat her rape her and let her go. She begins to go home when they catch her again, beat her and rape her. They let her go and she gets back to where she is staying, only for them to catch her, beat her and rape her. The retard of the group (quite literally, he is a retard) is told to kill her but only when the others have left the house. He doesn't.

Two weeks later she plots her revenge. Her first kill is the retard, who she lets fuck her again (letting him finish, I should add) before hanging him. The second guy she seduces and brings back to her house. While giving him a handjob she castrates him and lets him die in the bathtub. Later she throws an axe into a guy's back and kills the Bear Jew with an outboard motor. Movie over.

There's no music in this movie besides a record which Jennifer puts on to drown out the castrated rapists screams for help, and that's probably a good thing because if there was any music you wouldn't hear any of the shitty dialogue. What was most disgusting was her use of sex to plot her revenge. It's disturbing and ridiculous, and the only time the film realises that left me in hysterics.

Do not see this film. It's 100 minutes long and my mate and I had to struggle to keep watching it. It's vile, offensive filth with no value at all. None.
