SEPARATION (2013) FOUR TOP HATS

April 29, 2013 by theipc

This is still pretty new so there’s not many images I can lift off of the internet, so I might not be able to represent this as strikingly as I could. because that’s how I roll out here – strikingly LOL. Let’s set one thing straight – this is a very slow move with long, deliberate shots. For example, the opening scene follows a little girl on a bike riding down a street, up her driveway, into the house and […]

PONTYPOOL (2008) FOUR TOP HATS

April 22, 2013 by theipc

This is kind of a neat, different sort of horror. It takes place (almost) entirely inside a radio station at the bottom of what I think is an old church. But the interesting thing about this is that most of the horror action is happening outside and the three radio employees are getting info on what’s going on in a small, Canadian town called Pontypool by people calling in, eyewitnesses who are screaming, yelling, and talking about people getting eaten, […]

THE HIDDEN FACE (2011) FOUR TOP HATS

April 16, 2013 by theipc

In all honesty, I’ve seen this thing floating around the download / rental areas for a while now and I’d kept putting it off because of the poster above. I know, I know I shouldn’t be like that but I am and I suck and oh well. One of my friends Gary @ WITH A FRIEND LIKE GARY has been mentioning this here and there and eventually he called me out to go watch it and I did and let […]

THE CHANGELING (1980) FOUR TOP HATS

April 9, 2013 by theipc

I have never claimed to know anything about anything (and no one ever tells me nothin’), so I can’t go out and say that this is a “classic” or anything, but I think it’s held in high regards. Or is it “regard”? I don’t know anything. Anyway – I liked this movie. A lot of the shit that comes out these days is pretty stupid (but not EVIL DEAD!!!) and I miss old horror movies like this ~ you just […]

THE THREE MINUTE REVIEW: ZERO DARK THIRTY (2012) FOUR TOP HATS

April 8, 2013 by theipc

What can I say about this that hasn’t already been said by 12,803,995 better bloggers??Yeah, sure – it’s real good. Jessica Chastain is hot and acts her ass off. So does a guy named Jason Clarke. But it’s also about an hour too long, were those torture scenes REEEEEEEEAAALLLLYYY that necessary and everyone the principals talk about have those (no offense to any Arabic readers) (and no offense if I’ve used the term “Arabic” incorrectly) those long Arabic names that […]

EVIL DEAD (2013) FOUR FLESHBOUND BOOKS OF THE DEAD

April 5, 2013 by theipc

Here’s a quickie about this if you’re on the fence whether or not to see this this weekend (and the we’ll get into some deeper thoughts below): this is a total must-see-in-the-theater if you’re into stuff like this, but be warned, it’s a bloody, bloody motherfucker with a handful of seriously sphincter clenching, squirm moments. I don’t think anyone will come out of this thinking it’s the most terrifying thing they’ve ever seen, but it’s good, good, bloody fun! Now […]

ANOTHER EARTH (2011) FOUR TOP HATS

April 1, 2013 by theipc

I remember when this came out and I read about it in the newspaper (yes I still read the newspaper) and they hailed it as “brilliant” and I thought it looked like some boring yawner with a mopey hot chick in it and a guy that pops up in just about everything I see. Well – the other week I got up early and the wife slept in so I turned on the TV and this was on and I […]

RUN LOLA RUN (1998) FOUR TOP HATS

March 26, 2013 by theipc

I remember seeing this when it first came out on VHS – that’s right – V-H-S back in the day when I lived with my old roommate and we really liked it but, unlike normally playing videos down until the tape was so worn out it wasn’t viewable, we never watched it again and I spent my time getting destroyed in Madden ’98 to the record of something like Rob: 347, Eric: 1. So I watched this for the first […]

THE FACE OFF @ HEAD IN A VICE – THE INNKEEPERS

March 22, 2013 by theipc

HAPPY FRIDAY (or whatever day it is around the world)!!! Well – we did it again – Tyson gathered up five of us (six including himself) to discuss the goods and the bads (even though I don’t think there’s many bads) about another movie – The Innkeepers by Ti West – and Face Off about it. I was on the Defense and he sic-ed some people after us but, in the end, I think sanity will prevail and we will […]

HEAVEN’S PRISONERS (1996) FOUR TOP HATS

March 12, 2013 by theipc

It’s mostly horror out here – in fact 98%, but every now and then we’ll dip our toes into something other – a comedy, maybe, a couple of Westerns, a handful of Sci-Fis – anything that fits my mood or my memories. Well – life hasn’t always been easy for me – I’ve made mistakes and fucked shit up, times have been hard and life was tough – and this came out during a very depressed time for me. Life […]

DOG SOLDIERS (2002) FOUR TOP HATS

March 11, 2013 by theipc

My wife likes to make fun of me retell the story of the first time I watched THE DESCENT. She was downstairs watching something or other and I was upstairs. She was minding her own business and suddenly she heard a scream from the room I was in. So she ran upstairs to see what was wrong with me – was there a spider around?? Did i hurt myself somehow?? Did the dog throw up in my lap again?? Of course it […]

GIRLS AGAINST BOYS (2012) FOUR TOP HATS

March 8, 2013 by theipc

People are always going to agree and disagree on things – it’s how we exist and computers control our every move. I’m all about honesty here, you can even check out my slogan by clicking on one of the beautiful header images above and going to my “home” page. Anyway – when I watch a movie I judge on how much it entertains me; I don’t have a checklist or anything to keep tic marks on while I sit through […]

RESOLUTION (2012) FOUR TOP HATS

March 1, 2013 by theipc

Resolution is a fine, fine little movie that I had never heard of or seen anything about. I caught the trailer out on iTunes last weekend and it sucked me in really quickly so I rented it up and went to IMDB to check out if anyone had anything to say about it and – of course there’s the vapid: “TERRIBLE TERRIBLE OH MY GOD TERRIBLE MY LIFE IS RUINED” “reviews” – because people like this are so * passionate […]

VERY BAD THINGS (1998) FOUR CORK SCREWS

February 27, 2013 by theipc

I reckon every generation has their own version of THE HANGOVER or SUPERBAD – I am sure that goes without saying. As everyone is aware these days – I’m an old fucker and I remember going to see this in the theater and I remember I was BLOWN AWAY by what I saw that night. These weren’t “A List” movie stars but they were very mainstream and doing a bunch of very un-mainstream things in this. Christian Slater chopped up […]

The Rundown (Action Movie Week) [Review from theipc]

February 26, 2013 by theipc

Reblogged from The Bishop Review: TheIPC , or Isaacs Picture Conclusions, is a website dedicated to bringing honest, and funny reviews to all the readers in the world! Or just the people that read TheIPC. If you don’t believe me, read the Taken 2 review and check this one out as well. The reviews don’t look like your normal, cookie-cutter reviews (aka mine) and I think that’s what seriously makes them so great. Read more… 676 more words Hi everyone! […]

HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT 2 (1987) FOUR BOW TIES

February 25, 2013 by theipc

I don’t know if anyone else has seen this, and I don’t know if anyone’s going to believe me, but this movie was ALL KINDS OF FUN!! Probably, if anyone else has had the pleasure of seeing this at some point in their life – they’ll probably disagree with me but I thought this was a great example of 80′s slasher material with big hair, bushy eyebrows, boobs, tiaras, zombies - solid acting for a movie like this – boobs (what??), blood, […]

GATTACA (1997) FOUR TOP HATS

February 20, 2013 by theipc

I have gone out in public and stated that I don’t care for Ethan Hawke – I never have and I think it’s because I think of him as some sort of pompous asshole – even though I’ve never met him or read anything about him. Some people you just don’t take to. So – a month or so ago, my friend and co-worker Jeffrey Tiberius Pilar Roast Beef Angelou Smithson Buckner Pennybottom Johnson was in my office and asked me if […]

ISAACS ARCANUM: THE CRAZIES (2010) FOUR TOP HATS

February 16, 2013 by theipc

*** (The ARCANUM feature is my attempt to present some of my older write-ups to newer Good and Most Beloved and Precious Readers) THE CRAZIES remake is all kinds of awesome, IMO. I don’t know if it’s just Timothy Olyphant or Radha Mitchell or Joe Anderson as the deputy but I can watch this over and over and over. This is actually one of the very first things I ever posted on WP, so this one is kind of special to me. I present it here, remastered (and spell […]

SOUND OF MY VOICE (2012) FOUR TOP HATS

February 2, 2013 by theipc

I normally don’t post newish things on Saturday because I don’t get a lot of visitors on the weekends but, I thought this could use some publicity (such as it is) and hope to try and find someone else who might have seen this to talk about it. I totally liked this a LOT but I think this is going to be seen in two ways: A well filmed, good looking, well acted movie with a ton of unanswered questions […]

LOVE (2011) FOUR TOP HATS

February 1, 2013 by theipc

So – our man Tyson over at HEAD IN A VICE has been going on and on and on about his love for this movie for months now and I finally got a chance to see it (the day I am writing this) and I have to agree that, for the most part, this thing is a really excellent piece of Science Fiction. It’s very well written and put together, the score is pretty awesome (which you can read more […]

DREDD (2012) FOUR JUDGE MASKS

January 28, 2013 by theipc

WOAH! I know a lot of people I read went to see this in the theater and (I think) the response was pretty positive all around. I thought it looked like nothing but 3D gimmickry - which not only puts me out to no end but also irritates me and pushes me AWAY from a movie – so I opted to give this one a big skip. After watching this today, I wish I had made a different decision because I would […]

NIGHT OF THE TENTACLES (2013) FUN, FUN, FUN

January 25, 2013 by theipc

I’m going to forsake my normal style today for NIGHT OF THE TENTACLES – because this is not like the normal types of movies our group puts out here. According to IMDB, this was made for 1500 bucks, has a cast of five, the director did most of the work and mainly takes place in two apartments. I thought this was funny, campy, didn’t take itself seriously (which is ALWAYS a plus in my head) had plenty of sex (and […]

MAY (2002) FOUR LAZY EYES

January 21, 2013 by theipc

MAY… how do I go about this?? I LOVE this movie – has it really been TEN years since we first met, May? Time sure does fly. Why do I love this movie so much…? Is it because – as I have lamented out here often – that I grew up all alone and I was a very lonely, depressed kid so I totally identify with the main character?? I am actually a very shy fucker and rarely initiate First […]

THE LAST STAND (2013) FOUR TOP HATS

January 19, 2013 by theipc

When I do my ratings, I don’t base them on the canon of filmdom, and what my editing boss thinks about the canon of filmdom, I base mine on how much something entertains me and what can I say – I fucking loved it!! Well….. now…. I loved the ACTION and the BLOOD and the BULLETS and the one liners and this took me back to those summers when I was growing up and I’d look forward to the new […]
