Worst of all, we can't blame this on a first time pop promo director but the great visualist reponsible for Delicatessen and City of Lost Children...

I think that's almost the problem with the film; his directorial style in no way suits an Alien film

Hehehe! But I had to use the Spinal Tap quote!

I thought it was utterly wretched, fully deserving of the flack and more. It was the worst film I've seen this year, but then I saw Red Riding Hood the other day...*shudder*

You're exaggerating a bit

Let The Right One In. (2008)

I realize every one else on the forum probably saw this years ago, but i finally got round to giving it a go last night.

What a great little masterpiece it is. A haunting lullaby to all love that can never be. This Swedish film is mesmerizing from the start. Its sheer beauty interrupted by scenes of punishing horror. The snowy landscapes of urban Sweden are portrayed as a green lit canvas in which the drama plays out. And what drama? its mainly young cast are as one superb, totally believable from the off, in a story that whilst languid is utterly compelling.

Highly recommended.

Truly not. I think the first 3 although wildly different make a great trilogy. Resurrection is both unnecessary and poorly executed in my eyes

You're thinking of the Spinal Tap album Shark Sandwich!

Half-watching Hunt for Red October on Film4 and even though it's difficult to mess up a submarine film, this is a surprisingly good film and I like it very much... Directed by John McTiernan, who's in the slammer these days I think...

I still haven't seen this although I have seen the remake, which I enjoyed despite what people have said about it
