This is the second time seeing it and found it more enjoyable this time round.

If you are in the mood for something extremely surreal, 'The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T' is highly recommended

I'm late to the discussion but the 80's remake of The Blob is amazing, I actually watched it for an October horror marathon one year rather than a Sci-Fi one. Keep meaning to buy a bluray of it, the German one is often around a tenner.

I flipped a coin for either September or October watch for the film

For some reason I always find the original "The Blob" a bit naff, despite loving 50's sci-fi films, i think maybe it is to do with me seeing the remake first when it hit VHS. The remake is really good with some nice gloopy death scenes. On a side note a couple of weeks ago I watched "Beware! the Blob" a 1970's sequel directed by J.R from Dallas, Larry Hagman. I quite enjoyed it although the tone is a weird semi comedy, it's a bit naff but entertaining at the same time. kidykeccxugb1.jpg

Tron: Legacy. 2010. I still think that the 1982 film is a classic with the stylish visual effects that were used and Jeff Bridges being a great star cast across from David Warner. In this with the small screen time he is still amazing. Garrett Hedlund is good as Sam Flynn who is sucked into the game and becomes a 'User' and plays the games. The visual effects are on par with the previous film and more energetic but for me the plot does slide a bit in the middle then goes back on the straight amd narrow. p_tronlegacy_19298_7b1ec957.jpg

The soundtrack by Daft Punk is amazing! I've listened to the CD way more than I watched the film itself

Flight Of The Navigator. 1986. Director Randal Kleiser keeps the involving and hugely entertaining story whisking along at a brisk pace, brings an engaging feeling of genuine awe and wonder to the captivating premise. Joey Cramer plays the young David who re-appears 7 years later after disappearing and hasn't aged and a crash landed spaceship. Paul Reubens as the voice of Max is a good call the makers who are able to incorporate good humour and decent visual and creature effects. Enjoyable back then in the old days and still enjoyable now. flightNAV_DVD_2D_hiRes_1527x.jpg

Super 8 (2011) Set in 1979, a group of teenagers are filming their own super 8 zombie movie for a competition when their camera inadvertently films a train derailment. As if that's not bad enough something is clearly not right when the US Air Force take over the small town and are searching for both the car the teens drove as well as something else... From producer Steven Spielberg and director JJ Abrams, Super 8 is a terrific blockbuster that has a genuine earthy excitement to it that few fantasy blockbusters manage nowadays. A tank crushing all before it in a children's playground has more resonance and impact than the biggest planet destroying explosion in other films. This feels like a movie from the eighties in that respect and it's all the better for it. The kids lead by Joel Courtney and Elle Fanning are all terrific and have well thought out roles and characters giving their performances genuine emotional depth as though straight out of the best classic Stephen King novels. I've had this Blu-ray knocking about for well over a year, had i known how good it was that would never have been the case. A special mention for the 7:1 soundtrack. From the huge train crash to the tiniest murmur, it's absolutely incredible. |
