Didn't see your other thread btw:doh:. Ah, I've a soft spot for the original, more to do with Nielsen etc. I'd recommend Bloody Moon then;)

Holocaust 2000.......not that great unless you want to see Kirk Douglas run about naked:eek:

Haven't been on for a week as I was at a military base for cadet camp

Watched Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things and Dead Of Night with Dad for Fathers Day before I left though.

CSPWDT had the most appallingly shit dialogue ever, so bad it was hilarious. The characters got very annoying though, and the zombies and stuff only came out with 20 minutes left, but then it got really good. Kudos to Nucleus, as their transfer on this really shines when upscaled.

DON on the whole was very good, but also very unsettling. Especially the whole ending with just about everyone dying, and the bit where he strangles the dog, but overall great movie. Reminded me of Martin at points. Not too happy with the transfer on this one, as there was an annoying static grain the whole time.

Was funny with those 2, seeing all the characters from the first appear in the second.

Watched Blitz on the bus back from camp. Quite funny watching the teachers cringe every time the c word was dropped, and listening to a couple of guys say "what the ****?" when a guys face was beaten in with a hammer. Missed most of the dialogue and the ending, but overall a pretty poor movie, but enjoyable.

7 Days/Les 7 Jours Du Talion

Great film had a very good story with some very strong emotions. Im sure loosing a child is the worst thing that can happen to anyone and what follows that in this is what any loving parent would want to do. The torture scenes in this were very well done and very realistic but its not a non stop torture fest with plenty of focus on the main plot. You can see the father is conflicted by what he is doing again making it more convincing. The lack of music in the film adds to the tension even the end credits are silent.

THAT really hit me about this film - the lack of any kind of music made it so much more real and disturbing, almost like a documentary

Total Voyeur film!

I really need to learn how to make those colage's of title cards. There very cool to look at.

Blade Runner

First time seeing this on Blu Ray looks fantastic.

Simple take pictures with bs player of the titles and then use picasa to make a colage :)

You know, I've only seen this once, years ago on the telly box so I'm tempted to pick up the new set that's due next month, £25 from Sainsburys bargain hunters

Dans Ma Peau (In my Skin) 2004

A woman who falls and suffers deep gashes in her leg becomes obsessed with her body leading to extreme forms of self harming.

Dans Ma Peau is a beautiful yet extremely harrowing journey of a womans psychosis. Its difficult for me to judge on self harming as it isn't something i've ever done nor known anyone who's done it. The fact she has a stable relationship with her boyfriend, indeed they are house hunting, been promoted at work and is welcome at the most upmarket parties in town suggests it is all in her own head and not caused by day to day life.

The film is shocking and not for the squeemish, wounds are examined and picked at in close up and the film almost strays into cannibalism as she starts to eat her own flesh, eventually attempting to preserve some for all time. Its through these scenes that the idea of self harm disolves and an idea of addiction springs to mind. An addiction where one woman attempts to consume her own body. In one restaurant scene Esther becomes so disengaged with her surroundings she begins picking at her arm with a fork, later going to the chemist to find out about the best way of preserving her own chewed at flesh.

The film borders on the absurd in a way as the director Marina De Vans, who incidently is also the star, pushes everything to the extreme, almost hoping to overstep the audiences boundaries. These almost surreal steps seem to be there to provoke an audience reaction, yet for all this Dans Ma Peau remains a thing of beauty, just not as we know it.

Saw a great film today, Sidney Lumet's The Offence starring Sean Connery as a screwed up sergeant on the hunt for a child molester. This is like a cop movie meets a horror movie, there's a really intense atmosphere, the locations nail the bizarre ugliness of new town seventies England, Connery is fantastic - as Sick Boy might say 'a muscular actor' - there's a weird Taxi Driver vibe about the jazz/synth soundtrack and off kilter direction and some of the flashback insights into the main characters degenerating psyche really gave me the chills. The nearest modern equivalent I can think of is Sean Penn's The Pledge - another great film about an obsessive lawman - but this has a disturbing, no-messing about 70s vibe all of its own. Bizarrely Peter Bowles - the Cad, or was it The Bounder? - plays Connery's boss! and does a good job I hasten to add. This played like the best Flipside ever, except it was a major movie - great days!

I only just picked it up on Blu Ray but i think i will get the new set as well it looks really cool. It will be my first time double dipping a Blu Ray for Blu Ray :)

I love this film its just a good ol' time watching this. The Blu Ray cleans up this film really well too i think it looks great.

I never get tired of watching all three films, Groovy!

Went pictures to see ted ,
Not surprised people don't go pics much almost £8 think that's scandalous considering its for one person to see the film once when you can buy a lot of DVDs new for a few quid more and there to keep, even blurays now are cheers as hell, a £5 more practical and would prob get more people going more often,

Anyhow rant over,

The film wasn't as funny as expecting it had a few chuckle moments but nowt special,

Motel hell, I've heard so much about this and never got round to watching until tonight, I thought it was a terrible film,

DAM RIGHT
Tomorrows first film is already lined up for when i get out of bed.

Im my local cinema its €15 for a ticket. Hence i only go when its something i really need to see. The last film i seen was Dark Knight Rises in the cinema worth forking out the money for the cinema experience for a film like that.

er...don't you have a wash/shower and have breakfast first?:)

Dredd - Put simply, it was awesome. A faithful and gleefully violent adaptation that for fans should be a real treat. :)

No way its the weekend :tongue1:

Red White and Blue

Let down by the final act I thought, when it descended into standard revenge territory. But genuinely surprising twists and turns for the most part, with an excellent cast - well directed by Simon Rumley, a big improvement on his The Living and the Dead . . .

AMERICAN PIE: REUNION.

Don't judge!

I like the origional american pie, I thought it had a nice Porky's vibe to it and a great script to boot, I thought 2 and 3 were a case of diminishing returns and I never bothered with the straight-to-dvd 'sequels' that came out minus the origional cast (bar eugene levy)

This one is probably about as good as parts 2 and 3. It made me feel old watching it (i was 19 when the origional hit cinemas) but it also made me laugh enough to rate it as a comedy. I doubt it'll ever make any of my best of lists but compared to some of the tripe i've seen lately masquerading as comedy it's certainly decent enough.

Also some good news for me, the dukes in lancaster will be showing Berberian sound studio in october... Definately going to see that one!

Tbh i tend to find most omedies these days utter rubbish and just not funny. ted had a few chuckle moments but now special a lot of comedies i avoid even the trailers look shite. stwp brothers eg total pants. i like American pie reunion thats how comedies should be made even the opening scene had me in stitches. rest of the film was pretty funny. total agree with any after 3rd avoided them all.

9 Hours to go till I see it! :dance:

Did you see it in 3-D or 2-D? I only ask because the Middlesbrough Cineworld is only showing it in 3-D and, even though I don't like the stereoscopic format, that's the only option open to me.

I don't go to the cinema that much as I find it too expensive, for me anyway. The reason I went to see Dredd last night was because after seeing the trailers for this film, It looked like it was made for 3d and might not be as good in 2d. I think I was right because alot of scenes were 3d orientated and may look silly/lose the desired effect in 2d. I am not a really a fan of 3d either and don't own a 3d tv. But this film was great in 3d, and the film itself great:pop2:

At least it was shot entirely in 3-D, and not retrofitted/converted in post production. It'll probably still give me eyestrain though!

Lol just laughing at you saying you don't go pics cos its to expensive that is so true I ranted a little on a post then you make that comment as well, it just so true and film companies just don't get it and blaming people downloading films is ruining the film industry well quite frankly don't you blame them at these prices nowadays, make it more affordable and more people will go and more often as well it not rocket science to work that out,

Its usually £30 of a job for me to take the kids to the cinema, kinda worth it though because they love it and see it as a treat

Girls Nite Out (1982)

No way as bad as most reviews make out, well not once the slashing gets underway at least. The first half tries so hard to be funny & wacky but fails miserably, you really will want everyone to die, even more so than normal with this type of thing!

The real pull for slasher & horror fans is seeing Lauren-Marie Taylor from Friday the 13th part 2, (See does little floozy so well!) Carrick Glenn, Sally in The Burning & Rutanya Alda, the Mother in Amityville II: The Possession, she really gets into it! Unlike poor Hal Holbrook who looks thoroughly bored (to be fair he's not given much to do) and literally phones in his performance!

I saw Girls Night Out recently. It was one of a Shriek Show three pack. I wasn't terribly impressed by any of the films. Although One Dark Night does have a terrific final twenty minutes.

So far today

I am not a big earner as I mostly work part time just now, so I have to be very tight with my money. I just got Forrest Gump bluray today for £10. It cost me £9.85 to see Dredd. Although I enjoyed dredd very much, it is over now and I will have to pay to see it again. Whereas I have my bluray forever....and I can eat a spicy chicken pizza while I watch it...You don't get that at the cinema:lol:

Tom (Jason Lives) McLoughlin. :) Yea the finale with all those corpses was pretty messed up.

As for GNO, I just mean it's not so bad, that I think slasher fans should avoid it at all costs, as the IMDb 3.2 rating might suggest otherwise. (If you take any damn notice of their ratings that is.)

What you pizza cost you probably only afford a small tub of popcorn :pop2: at cinema, and you can pause it as well to nip toilet etc

I like it. Used to have the old VTC release titled THE SCAREMAKER. It had the big teddy costume on the front cover. I own the SS release but I don't like that title so much. I should add here and now I also like final exam so my taste in slasher films is fairly broad!

I really need to pick up Final Exam and Humongous.
