What Films Have You Seen Recently?

Pffft...the third one's great! Damien Vs the Second Coming of Christ! What more do you want?

I also quite like The Final Conflict, much prefer it to the first sequel.

None of them are great films, but I would only consider The Omen even a half good film. Damien is enjoyably poor, but the third is just bad.

So much so that it put me off realising how good Sam Neill is for many years.

I am genuinely confused. Acting at what?

It's not humainly possible to consider The Omen 'Trash' and yet place the Godzilla movie's so highly.
Now I love me some Godzilla but having them shadow's The Omen, a stunningly shot, amazingly acted, and all round NEAR PERFECT HORROR MOVIE, is perfectly ludicrous.

I love these differences of opinion between Hawk n' Gojirosan

(sorry Hawk, I'm with him, first one is enjoyable Hollywood tosh, second one's watchable, not bothered about the rest) . . .

It's not like I consider the Godzilla films on a par with Once Upon A Time IN The West or Shadow Of A Doubt or anything (except for the first one, which I do consider a powerful and moving classic film). They are enjoyable trash too. Better than The Omen though.

I disagree with everything you just said about The Omen. It's made adequately but nothing more (like a fancy TV film) and other than Billie Whitelaw the acting is sub-par across the board. It's cheese, plain and simple. Enjoyable cheese, but undeniably cheese. Nowhere near the first rung of horror films.

Actually, as confusing and surprising as I find them, so do I. There is no malice at all and Hawkface is such a lovely chap.
