'Tenebrae' (1982) First time I've seen it! Great movie
'Skyfall' (2012) Good but not the best
'Night of the Living Dead' (1968) Hmmm! it killed an hour and half (which wasn't resurrected by high levels of Venusean radiation)

Was that yr first time seeing the film ? I would consider Night of the Living Dead nothing less than a masterwork of American Cinema...

Same here – in terms of a horror film with social commentary and gore, it was years ahead of its time and is still a terrific zombie movie.

No. I've seen it before but it just didn't do much for me! I think it was Keith Wayne's acting and his constant "come on Mr Cooper...". The ending though I thought was great! And not because the movie had finished.

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
Took my young son to the cinema yesterday to watch this and it was really funny, and the 3D was excellent too.

I hear ya, it certainly is rough around the ages, but it is what Neil Young might call ragged glory... It must have been something to see this film in 1968, after wading through a decade of pretty terrible studio film making and Doris Day vehicles...

Contro...

No, you're right of course Dude, and I mentioned this when I wrote about the film a few years ago...

The importance of Matheson's novel on the Fantasy genre cannot be overstated, and would be a key influence on modern Horror Cinema by way of Night of the Living Dead. The Last Man on Earth must have been in Romero's thoughts when shooting his landmark living dead film - the shots of the vampires laying siege to Gordon's home echo the sequences in Night of the Living Dead when the zombies gather at the farmhouse. Even more so, the final sequences of The Last Man on Earth strongly resonates in Romero's later work - the bitter ending where Gordon formulates a cure for the plague only for it to go ignored would turn up again in the climax of The Crazies, while the shots of armed mutants pursuing Gordon down a smoke-filled staircase are close to the swat-team sequence in the opening of Dawn of the Dead.

Watched Cowboy Beebop Movie last night, as good as it ever was and stunning on blu-ray. No surround sound for those that might want it though and a bare bones disc with no bonus material.
