I hadn't watched this since the...<i>Jaws 2</i> (1978)<br /><br />I hadn't watched this since the tape-to-tape dub job (on ELP to get three of them on a tape) I practically wore out as a youngster so seeing this in HD (and in proper aspect ratio) for the first time was amazing. Great job on this blu-ray. As for the movie? Listen. LISTEN. As a follow-up to a pretty much perfect film, forget about it, it captures some of the tone and a lot of characters are back (and John Williams is back to score which helps a lot), but it is does not have that magic feeling that <i>Jaws</i> has. Right off the bat it's such a huge stretch just to have another shark back in the area killing people that you can't take it seriously. But if you remove it from that association and just look at it within the horror genre (and as argued at Birth.Movies.Death, specifically a Slasher which I totally agree with) it stands up to pretty much anything out there. It's better than all of the Ft13th franchise and pretty much all of the Halloween and NoES sequels at least. So just try to forget it's a "Jaws" movie and watch it as a solid-as-hell slasher and I don't think you'll be disappointed.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-10057393378193383792016-06-16T06:58:55.328-05:002016-06-16T06:58:55.328-05:00Kung Pow: Enter the Fist - 2002

Solid movie, and you typically can't go wrong with Yaphet Kotto. Also the title song would later get used in Jackie Brown.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129602094443434975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-72131156703842080462016-06-16T01:48:42.711-05:002016-06-16T01:48:42.711-05:00I really like The Rover and was positively surpris...I really like The Rover and was positively surprised by Robert Pattinson´s performance. <br />Isn´t this a movie that can only come from Australia?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035940865143847684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-68530252723635152702016-06-16T01:30:51.427-05:002016-06-16T01:30:51.427-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13900651640246375537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-679136067013632372016-06-16T01:28:53.645-05:002016-06-16T01:28:53.645-05:00Yeah, this is a really nice and interesting thrill...Yeah, this is a really nice and interesting thriller.

Because I watch horror all the time, I decided to catch up on this blaxploitation flick I have been meaning to watch for forever. I love the concept of this movie. Pam Grier, as Coffy--Coffin?--Coffy, decides to take out the pushers who got her sister addicted to heroin. It is definitely of its time, in the sense that <i>all</i> of the contemporary social issues are highlighted. Sid Haig is also in it, playing a henchman with an accent. Very enjoyable.Michael Piccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292850856570418919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-30873687489428167832016-06-15T23:17:23.250-05:002016-06-15T23:17:23.250-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lindsay Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418341720079552415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-7927232411291268242016-06-15T23:17:13.273-05:002016-06-15T23:17:13.273-05:00I have Brodie sitting on my shelf - so now I have ...I have Brodie sitting on my shelf - so now I have no excuse.

In the theater, I couldn't always understand what they were saying so it was nice to watch it with subtitles. When people look back, I think this will be considered one of the great horror films of the beginning of the 21st century.Brent Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741998097323944343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-15789799928996901052016-06-15T22:58:46.946-05:002016-06-15T22:58:46.946-05:00Hot Fuzz (2007)
