Saw Army of Darkness last night. This is the second time I've seen it - the first time I couldn't get into it and didn't finish it. This time I watched it all the way through.

I guess I couldn't get used to the bizarre comedy/horror format. I'm one of those conventional people who think a comedy should be a comedy or a horror should be a horror and never the twain shall meet. I also didn't like Ash's reaction to the medieval people, and the constant "action hero" quips were annoying. And they never explained why Ash had a chainsaw instead of a right hand.

But I gave it a chance and it was pretty entertaining if I took it at face value - kind of a horror spoof/satire. Campy. I'm definintely not one of the followers of this cult movie, but it was worth a watch.

I love Army of Darkness its a classic!

I'm planning on Watchin Troy tonight. Though I guess I should ask the Mrs. and see what she wants to watch. ALso planning on going and getting Without a Paddle, and The 5th Element Ultimate edition on DVD today.

I plan to go to the movies in a bit. Either Assualt on Precinct 13 or In Good Company or Elektra. Elektra is likely the girlfriend's pick, but I don't like Jennifer Garner.

I agree completely.....Jennifer Garner just doesn't do it for me....I don't think she's a very good actress. I didn't like her as Elektra in Daredevil either....but then I hardly liked "anything" in Daredevil (except maybe Colin Farell as "Bullseye").

Fantastic! Stupendous! Awesome! Incredible!

Great movie!!!

agree !

Elektra...rate it a C
I didn't think much of the acting and there are a few spots in the film where details or lack of ruined some of the movie for me. Even if you are an all out action fan which I fit in, there isn't much in the movie to make it to a higher grade.

Colin Farell was very good in this role, IMO.

Ended up seeing In Good Company. I actually liked it. Personally, I think Dennis Quaid is a great actor (loved Frequency). Very enjoyable movie for what it was.

In Good Company. Saw it with the girl, but it was a pretty good movie and quite funny regardless of being a borderline chick flick.

The prequels were called evil dead 1 and 2. They are b rated low budget horror films from the 80s I think. On an off note, Army of Darkness is one of my favorite movies and my screen name for abx is after another Sam Raimi film

KingTermite · 01-22-2005, 09:32 PM

Just watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on DVD. It was kind of a chick flick, but it did have an interesting story line.

Lucas_Maximus · 01-22-2005, 09:38 PM

saw a few days ago, excalibre bought it for about £1 second hand, remember the movie being a lot better, the movie has aged terribly.

The acting was pretty bad and I remember the birds being fitter.
