I watched my DVD of the Devils Business last night after I returned home from Taken 2, and while it was one of my favourite films of last year I must say that the intimacy of watching it at home brings something extra to the experience. Highly recommended!

Last night I watched the BD of Dracula(1931), even though I had planned on saving the set til Halloween. It looked and sounded fantastic, really glad I forked out for the set now. Going to watch Frankenstein later tonight I think

Anyway, with a director called Olivier Megatron, what should you realistically expect?! I currently have the poster on my wall and have been meaning to watch this again for weeks, so I'll have to get the disc and put it somewhere so, when I'm looking for something to watch, it catches my eye and goes in my PS3. Actually, maybe I'll remember and watch it this evening.

The AV quality is astonishingly good and I couldn't believe how 'recent' the new restored HD encoding makes the films look and sound.

John Dies at the End Another London Film Festival film, this time the midnight matinee (or 11.15pm to be precise) screening of John Dies at the End from director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm/ Bubba Ho-Tep). For those who don't know it, the story is a comedy horror revolving around two slacker types turned ghostbusters who start seeing creatures after injesting a curious drug known as "Soy Sauce". Enjoyed it, but I'd gone in with diminished expectations. I'm a HUGE fan of the book and figured there's no way they would be able to cram the book's content in, especially with a limited budget. But although there's huge chunks of the book missing, this is still a relatively entertaining stab; the clunky stop-motion and CGI common to Coscarelli's films adding a certain charm, and the leads are likable enough. I'm certainly interested to see it again now my initial curiosity has been sated, and can imagine it becoming a minor cult hit. A nice surprise was Coscarelli showing up to introduce the film and sticking round to chat to fans afterwards. In a brief Q&A, he was asked if he'd be filming the book's sequel, This Book is full of Spiders, to which he said it completely depends on how well John Dies performs. I can't see it happening myself, especially with the trouble of getting Bubba Nosferatu off the ground - which he also talked about, with initial plans to cast Paul Giamatti (who is in John Dies) opposite Bruce Campbell (who pulled out). A fun film, but read the book first. It's excellent! Last edited by Delirium; 14th October 2012 at 02:00 PM. |

I just don't get Taken at all. I saw the film when it came out and I thought it was instantly forgettable, I can't remember a single thing from that film. And at least two lads from work were going to see the sequel this w/end and these guys would not have been in a cinema in 10 or 15 years...
