Evil Dead (remake). Which I still quite like.

Second Sight BD. Brain eating, eye ball sucking, weird BDSM angle, Yuzna, Coombes, Foree, Lovecraft....how many things can one film have going for it? This is one of the best UK genre BDs I've bought in a long time...and to think I made do with the R rated Dragon release all these years.

Overall, a mixed bag, the film suffers from clichéd, underwritten characters, the science is woefully inadequate, the story intellectually hollow, but for all my complaints, I'm far more forgiving of the film on this second pass - it moves along at a fine pace, the visuals are often stunning, it's beautifully shot and lit and the art direction and set design are incredible. Yep, I enjoyed it, and against all odds this one is a keeper...

As long as it's better than Alien3, I'll watch it. My workmate say it's excellent as a stand-alone film. So I'll give it a to sometime.

Stupid moment coming up: I'm hopeless with abbreviations and wondered what BD and BDSM mean.

Watched The Bay last night, not too bad a film. By far one of the better found-footage styled movies that has came out in recent years

BD = Blu-ray Disc
BDSM = Bondage, Discipline & Sadomasochism i.e. kinky sex play.

Don't be getting them confused now.

I feel like a total **** now!

I always thought Blu-Ray would be abbreviated to BR. Just me maybe

Well it's actually Blu-ray Disc, so BD makes sense. Sorry, that was me typing in caps!

I see, that's everything cleared up now

In between marathon X Files sessions, I've watched a couple of films too.

Kalifornia- David (Mulder) Duchovny, Brad Pitt, Juliette Lewis and another actress, who I've never seen in anything else, star in this excellent thriller about a couple (Duchovny and whatshername) who decide to travel to California, checking out famous serial killer sites along the way. To save money on fuel expenses, they advertise for another couple to tag along for the ride, said couple is Pitt and Lewis, the former being a parolee who just so happens to be a complete psychopath too and really does put the red in redneck!
Needless to say, the violence erupts pretty soon when Pitt goes on a killing spree to enable himself to contribute to the fuel costs etc resulting in Duchovny and whatshername fighting for survival.
Thursday's viewing was the first time in ages that I'd watched it and only because I saw it in CEX for £1.50 that morning. Overall, it's an excellent thriller with Brad Pitt being on excellent form as the very convincing Early Grace, highly recommended.

All the other films I've watched have been discussed by me on here before, so there's no need for me to repeat myself, but they were as follows:

F13: the Final Chapter
Lair of the White Worm
Gone in 60 Seconds (Nic Cage version)
