Hitch-Hike's a good film, but I'm not a fan of Corinne Clery, and Franco Nero was more convincing in Django.

SEED OF CHUCKY - Had this on dvd for AGES but never watched until last night and I found it really enjoyable and Jennifer Tilly is gorgeous.

Also made to watch the latest TWILIGHT by niece and, as with the others, it was utter shit.

what were thet expecting...a family film?? There are many more films which have a far more disturbing scenes of rape shown
having said that about the LHOTL remake I wouldn't necessarily buy it
The rape scene in the original had such a realistic impact that i think holds up well even now in the way of making me feel uncomfortable. The actresses in that film had a real feeling of fear while making the film which translates so well on screen.

Insidius. Now I remember why I never finished this film first time round. Every second something threatens to make me soil myself! Great film.

RED STATE. I enjoyed this a lot though I could have done without the comedy ending which frankly ruined it for me.

CHANBARA STRIPTEASE. Bleeding dreadful, however it does have a woman blocking a sword blade with her naked breasts and firing a sword from her cleavage, other than that, utter tosh.

HELLSING. Okayish anime about the British Government's fight against vampires.

PIRANHA 3D. Having not enjoyed this first time watching it, I thought I'd give it another go. Fun and undemanding.

CARNIVAL OF BLOOD. Like some hellish cross between H.G. Lewis and Andy Milligan with a few female escapees from an early John Water's film. This both irritated the shit out of me and hypnotised me with it's incessant scenes of talking that by the end, my mind most certainly wasn't in the same place as it was at the beginning. Nice fuzzed up psyche soundtrack with the odd forlorn folk song chucked in for good measure.

I hated the last house on the left remake, not because it was a remake of the craven movie but like nightmare on elm street it was simply p*ss poor filmmaking.

Last house has certainly dated, basically its a nam movie with the central message that violence is bad in every form, even revenge. I think its brought low by the comic relief keystone cops stuff which is totally misjudged.

The remake was certainly a lot more technically proficient, it just had absolutely nothing to say and the final scene (with the microwave)felt like an afterthought and seemed to change the message to "hey violence can be ok and not at all dehumanising if the people deserve it!"

Honestly, watching the remake I felt nothing at all, its just an empty clean, sterile piece of commercial film making with nothing to say and nowhere to go. Totally soulless.

I will uspet a few people here and say I enjoyed the I spit on your grave remake though!

Just watched a modern classic again. - The Firm.

People are going to berate me (maybe) but Tom Cruise really doesn't make bad films.
