What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[Frankie Teardrop]

THE DEVILS - I'll spare you the hyperbole, for the most part - I know many here will already have first hand knowledge. For myself, I have to say, simply - what amazing cinema. Almost overwhelming. Boschian in scope and texture, but emotionally and conceptually charged - just amazing. I can't think of anything in recent times that reaches it.

Just got Hellworld and Revelations to watch now to complete the series, can't say I'm overly excited about either of these if the last few are anything to go by, they should've stopped after number 4

Many would say they should have stopped after part 3

Just wait until the last one, i'm fairly certain you'll think that one made deader look like a masterpiece.

Just finishing watching Avatar for the first time and I couldn't wait the extra 5 minutes for it to finish without saying this. All that money spent on extremely impressive CGI and they can't even make the tattoos on Sam Worthingtons arms look like they aren't painted on like henna tattoos found on 8 year old kids in Benidorm! Good film though, not sure it lived up to all the hype mind.
Now time to switch channels for T3: Rise of the machines, yeah I like it...so what?

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I watched two Carry On films with the sound muted, back to back whilst doing the ironing. Every time I looked at the screen it was like witnessing the world championship gurning contest with ever increasing ugly and hostile wallpaper in the background.

I think the sign some of these movies need to stop is when the franchise hits outer space.
