    Horror Movies

    in Movies

    Posted

    I haven't seen ONE good horror film in years. There are some average ones and some obviously trashy ones but not a single decent, suspenseful, frightening, psychological madness in years.

     

     

    TIDELAND

     

     

    But that was rather 'cute' horror, degenerate Alice In Dopeland, I still wait for something more edgy and diabolic than that. xD

    Ahahahah, like we didn't get enough explanation in the movie....

     

    Good movie though, nicely paced, brilliant editing, but way too explanatory and forced, could have been better scripted as well...

    Best Psy Album

    Yeah, I will contribute to this topic as well, after a long time, just out of fun, since I very rarely listen to psy trance past few years...

     

    And after all these years I realized that next 5 albums I simply cannot stop listening and are absolutely timeless...

     

    BLUE PLANET CORPORATION - BLUE PLANET

     

    BATTLE OF THE FUTURE BUDDHAS - TWIN SHARKFINS

     

    MFG - PROJECT GENESIS

     

    UX - ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE

     

    MIDI MILIZ - NON STANDARDS

     

    All these 5 albums have very strong entrancing effect on my brain, they just never get tiring...

     

    ....being dark, massive, and very psychedelic... cream crop of psychedelic trance, except of Non Standards which is just plain fun. xD

    DISNEY TRIPPING OUT ON LSD, GIVING BIRTH TO BASTARD CHILD OF TERMINATOR AND POCAHONTAS.

     

    But nevertheless, visually impressive, thrilling ride in 3D World, if only he hasn't used every single clichee every 5 minutes through the whole film. 5/10

    Oh my Dog! Where The Wild Things Are was one of my favorite books as a kid... the monsters look exactly like they did in the book, and direction by Spike Jonze? I'm gonna want to see this one for sure! :)

     

    That is because Maurice Sendak was working with Spike Jonze on the set, collaborating together, he even approached Jonze exclusively cause he wanted HIM to adapt it... hardly wait to see it... :D

    Avatar seems like a total CGI fest. I think the blue aliens look kinda lame.

     

    I sort of agree, that is why I described it like Terminator on LSDisney, those blue aliens in romance look too much like Disney to me...

    9 ( 2009 ) SHANE ACKER

     

    Finally a true gothic animated film ! Whoa, this was thrilling and short ride, spot on ! There are no bullshits, overused dialogues, clichees and other kiddy oriented animated forms. This is pure adult animation, dark to its core, but still with some optimism. Of course, it wouldn't have this look if Tim Burton wasn't the producer, his name is written all over this dark masterpiece. The story is ok, nothing that groundbreaking or spectacular but what makes this anime so special is the actual ANIMATION. Wow, the attention to details and presenting post apocalyptic world where whole humanity is erased by machines is breathtaking. The editing and sound editing is pure mind fuck. This is surely one of the most quality anim3 I have ever seen... Gritty, Gothic, Industrial tale of man vs. machine issue... 10/10

    Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards

    in Movies

    Posted

    Actually very good entertainment. If you overcome the initial feeling, like when I watched the trailer, thinking, fuck, what is he doing now, after I saw it in cinema I was surprised to see a well constructed Tarantino's fantasy... It is Kill Bill set in Nazi times, we have again grieving woman seeking for revenge, being persistent in her decision, ready to do anything. Only this time we got a blend of shpagetti western, cat/mouse mind games and lots of dark humor. The role of Christoph Waltz is oscar worthy, such a powerful performance, Brad Pitt is almost un-noticable beside this acting giant. Whole visual look is a treat, cinematography and periodic look is pretty precise. So, I was in the end quite entertained, as usual with Tarantino, he never tempts to make great art, he is there just to entertain, and he is bloody good at it. 8/10

    Amon Tobin Anyone?

    in Other Electronica

    Posted

    Cujo - Adventures in Foam. Wow! Excellent album that I only recently discovered, and I'm in love with it. Very most excellent stuff. :) Is there anything along those veins that anyone can recommend me? Not necessarily Tobin himself.

     

    Oh yes, brilliant album, so trippy... I wouldn't know anything to recommend in that vein right now, that is how it is original. :D

    Blue Planet Corporation - A blueprint for survival

    in 2009

    Posted

    Completely as expected, nothing short of brilliant... not all of the new stuff are that great, but HEMO STATIC II and TELEKINETIC are truly great 'new' old tracks... Telekinetic does sound like pre-Antidote track, but it's still great. DNA sounds like ARCANA but it doesn't matter. I like to hear proto tracks, in any form, especially this perfectly remastered. For me, whole release is one delicious proto trance and goa collection, and I agree with whole choice of remastered tracks, I could only exclude HEMO STATIC/OVERBLOODY FLOOD track put together and change it for INTRIGUE. BAROCCO and RESTORE HOPE are also very interesting unreleased tracks, RESTORE HOPE being so dark and weird, and BAROCCO so light and cheerful, like complete opposites. Overall, great ! :D92 %

    Kill Bill Vol1. Vs Vol.2

    Both equally cause they are both part of one story. I liked different directing approaches he did with both films. That was quite an innovative film making for such random rip offs from other movies as he said himself.

     

    And to me, Uma Thurman's performance is possibly the best female performance I've seen to this date, in both films, her role was difficult, transforming all the time. Of course Caradine And Madsen are standardly brilliant.

    Sci-Fi Movies

    in Movies

    It is really a shame that such rich and descriptive genre rarely gets properly presented nowadays, relying entirely on CGI techniques, with no substance, cause whole genre back in the days, when sci-fi genre was progressing, with low budgets and ambitious ideas, was starting to set the standards for the new and modern sci-fi genre.

     

    There are only few of the new films that can redefine that genre nowadays, and that is a shame, cause now, when we have technology, we should make good stories right. But, since producers are dictating the production, the quality of the picture has to be lower down in tone, adopting the script for wider audiences, making the original stories or ideas bland and naive without any REAL progress of ideas there. Like there are plenty of cyber punk and sci-fi books by famous sci-fi writers that no one dares to film cause they are such big projects, so we are doomed to 'entertaining' kind of science fiction, without real substance.

     

    So, with the 'adopted' script for wider audiences the collapse of the story starts and you end up with heavily produced bunch of crap. Ironic thing, since film production should be all about presenting big and quality ideas accurately and uncompromisingly. So, most of this genre after THE MATRIX went down the drain, and I could really rarely see any new brilliant sci fi film ( waiting for AVATAR later this year, maybe that will set the new standards ). And I've heard good things about MOON. I like minimalistic sci-fi ideas.

     

    And since there are very little number of true scientific kind of sci-fi, I put in the poll most of dystopian/utopian futuristic films, one of my favourite genres of sci-fi. So, I want to know which science fiction cult movies from the list defined the genre for you. And also add the ones I missed to put in the poll... My pics are most definitely 2001, THX 1138, SOLARIS, BLADE RUNNER and THE MATRIX.

    Dark ambient?

    Dark ambient? What you are searching for is:

    <b>Geomatic - Blue Beam</b>

    It's ambient but not amorphous, includes a sinister arabian music with some decently harsh electronic sounds. My favorite track is Alternate Universe. I think you will love it, although I don't recognize any other albums recommended here.

    Here is the first track, which is very good as well.

    KORINTH - SIGN OF ETERNAL RETURN

     

    MNEMONIC - MONOKULTUR

     

    COIL - TIME MACHINES
