Just seen Forget Me Not (2009).
Typical teen horror but with a twist that I dont think has been done before, if it has then be kool to know where its been used before.
Its a ghost revenge story and quite typical and has its cliches but in this story if the ghost kills you then you get erased as if you never existed and only this gal who ceated to the ghost so to speak remembers all the friends that the ghost has killed.

It was entertaining although the end kinda sucked so overall 7/10.

Just watched Dust Devil. Kinda dissapointed after hearing so much about it over the years. Was ok but nothing special. The great head explosion was the highlight for me

Bloody brilliant.
If only eh?:(

just finished watching District 9, bloody amazing, one of the most original Sci-fi films ive ever seen and ive seen alot of Sci-fi. It starts off as a sort of reversal of humans living in poverty to Alien refugee's living in poverty and turns into this all out action film with big alien guns, Mechs and explosions, why the **** didn't they let Neil Blomkamp make a Halo movie, this guy would have done it justice. This was awesome. Infact i shall do a full review of this in Pedro's Movie Review Corner with in the near future.......Highly recommended.

This is getting my movie of the year award. For me this was an absolute flawless movie. CGI was brilliant and never too much, action was great and some very dark humour in there without going down the parody route.
Counting down the minutes til the blu ray release!

Watched the first two Naked Gun films recently (maybe watch the third tonight! :woot:). I also watched a screener copy of Tapeworm coutesy of Mr Slicer! :thumb:

I found it reminded me of Andrey Iskanov's Nails - it has some good gore effects in it too. :nod:

:nod: :nod:

I got my D9 bluray steelook yesterday :banana:

I agree on what u said but I disagree with best movie of the year, for me that was Star Trek and D9 came a close second.

Dust Devil is one of those films that you either love or hate.I'm in the love camp (not an SS Experiment one before anyone asks :tongue1: ) It's a pretty slow film but very atmospheric and Robert Burke makes a great villain ( if you want to call him that) and If you're a fan like me,then the Subversive Cimema 5 disc dvd set is nothing short of amazing.

Star Trek was top quality alright although I was so let down by Simon Pegg. I love everything he's done but the character was trying way too hard to be the clumsy funny idiot.Made me cringe.
The guy who played Bones was amazing though, got all his mannerisms perfectly.

My HMV exclusive steelbook of this arrived today! :dance: :rockon: :pop2:

Just finished watching Demonic toys for the millionth time.From the classic period of Fullmoon this one (early 90's).Some good effects,one incredible pair of hooters (honk honk :tongue1:) and Tracy Scoggins running about in a vest (unfortunately not her hooters I should mention :( ) An evil jack-in-the-box,a toy bear that likes biting chunks out of people and a doll that swears like a trooper.What more could u ask for? I have it as part of the Dollman/Demonic toys boxset.Dollman will be next to go in the dvd player

just watched THE FINAL DESTINATION, while not being the longest film ever made (78 mins i think) and not the most original of film, this one had some serious badass kills, really f'ed up ones. If there's nowt else on tv and you have 78 minutes to spare, i recommend checking it out.

On another note, i watched 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS this morning, and i really enjoyed it, id never seen it before. The only problem i had with it was Mark Gregory possibly Cinema's least threatening Biker.When he walked he minced. Fred'the Hammer'Williamson was pretty badass though. Ive read that it's a cross between Mad Max and the Warriors, but i would say it was more Esacpe from New york and the warriors, very entertaining indeed. in my opinion Castelleri is possibly the most Competant and talented of the Italian directors from that era, although i love Fulci, Margeretti and Argento, i just like how he films his movies...

Castellari is an excellent director. His spag western Keoma is superb!(well aside from the dreadful score:ack:)

Just watched:


Attachment 3895


Had to watch it in italian becase dvd had no subs (well it did have german subs), but from what i could make out, Mark Shannon is having penis trouble, which is causing him some discomfort, and in 15 days will have a operation/transplant/removal or something. So he decides to go to the carribean and have sex with as many women as he can. Also he is tortured by visions of his dead (?) wife/girlfriend having it off with a couple of black guys and at the end *SPOILER* decides to ease his pain by cutting his knob off.

A typical Joe D'amto carribean sex fest with lots of XXX action between ugly people, dull lighting and a funky score but sadly no zombies this time:(. Dig that disco song; ' Sexy, sexy night, she's the lady of the sexy night':dance::biggrin:

Yeah, I like the muppets! What of it? :laugh:

Oh, The Muppet's Christmas Carol is great! I haven't seen the new Jim Carey one but the trailer looks pretty crap. How many more times is this story going to be made? There will ever only be ONE definitive version of The Christmas Carol - and that's the Muppet's version!!!!!!

I bought a short korean film called killing machine
Just finished watching it
any 1 seen it and what are your thoughts about it ?????

Watched Zombie Flesh Eaters 2(thanks BS) last night
It was fairly ridiculous but have to say I really enjoyed it. Over the top acting, some decent gore and a flying zombie head :eek:

Not done or watched much. Too busy being Chritmassy.
But I have checked out;

"Scrooge" - Alistair Sim is still the best Scrooge, in what is still the best version of "A Christmas Carol". Crappy colourised version or not.

"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" - Still one of the best Christmas films ever. Bags of fun with everyone in top form, especially Chevy Chase. This is the uncut version too which has the classic "We're gonna have the happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fvcking Kaye" line.

"It's a Wonderful Life" - Finally got the good lady Wife to watch this. And thankfully she liked it.
A wonderful, though at times tough, Christmas film that has more weight and sheer raw emtion than most any other. Stewart of course is a marvel.

"Merry Madagascar" - Hmmm....Shorter than an elf's pubic hair.
But not bad, with King Julian in top form.
Far too slight though, even my Daughter looked confused when it ended after just 20 minutes.

I love the Alastair Sim Scrooge though I also thoroughly enjoyed the George C. Scott version too. Hard to say which one I prefer at times. Both excellent movies.

It's A Wonderful Life is one of my all time favourite films.

I like the Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol.That much that I watched it twice at christmas :lol:

Watched Deathdream last night - easily one of my favourite horror films ever. Such a powerful film and it may be Bob Clark's best (although its a bloody tough one that)

http://www.dvddrive-in.com/images/a-d/deathdream.jpg

Murder By Decree is still my favourite Clark film with Black Christmas a very close second.

That would be Porky's :biggrin:

I actually really like the beginning of MUPPETS IN SPACE

"Wind Chill" -
Well crafted, spooky, slow burning, old fashioned ghost/legend story about a cursed road.
Nice playing by all, some great atmosphere, the odd good shock and wonderful, wintery, cinematography.

No great shakes, nothing really original, bit well done, enjoyable, mostly effective and best of all, despite the slight time/reality bending aspects of the screenplay, no nonsensical story/stupid final twist rubbish to spoil the ending.

I saw that a while back.
Its a pretty cool movie, I quite enjoyed it. Had its funny moments too.
The remake talk has been going on for a while now so hopefully it stays in limbo forever :lol:

Mondo Cane 3(Stelvio Massi, 1985)

Pointless, late in the day cash in on J & P's original Mondo Cane films. In this one we are 'treated' to; Snakes being skinned alive, snakes decapitated with scissors, turtle butchery, reindeers bled to death so their blood can be drank,bullfighting, dogfighting (which looks faked) cows having a poo, indians making houses out of the poo, sex change operations, a dead aids victim having his skull cut open,dead bodies cut open to reveal hidden bags of cocaine, a brief but graphic blow job,modells, women wrestlers and kids limbs being twisted by their parents so they become street beggars, a sick sport where ducks are thrown to each other by men on horse back with the first team kill the duck wins, and in the most disgusting scene (which tops bitslicers pierced finger in the disgusting stakes) members of a japanese cult having their fingers cut off for real.

Dull, boring stuff, even the photography here is dull (no matter what your views are on J&P's mondo films they at least had good photography) the only good thing about it was the un pc narration and main theme tune.

:lol: yeah it sounds more disgusting! i have a documentary called all about dung which is all about the differant uses ppl have for poo :biggrin:

:laugh:

What other uses are there for poo other than building houses? (or Shitty houses as the narrator calls them)

explosives, batteries and coffee are the few that i can remember :laugh:

Anyone for a cup of Nescshattay instead of nescafe?:ack:

Where did you get that doc from?

:lol: its from a pile of odd documentary dvdr's i got hold of! ive got all kinds of weird stuff :blush:

to start the new year i watched
