Most people usually say that but you see I'm the only one who sees the Emporer is naked so there.

Also that being transported into the water system was totally stupid crap.

Coraline (3D) - Superb stuff.


I loved it, apart from the new character introduced in the movie who wasn't in the book. He's been bothering me slightly. None of the other changes bothered me, but I didn't like that.

Having not read the book that didn't bother me. As a film in its own right it worked just fine. Apart from being slightly too long.

With the bullet missing pinging off a bucket which falls over making the floor slippy thus someone comes on and falls over and everyone laughs.

It's lovely. And going alone to the cinema is fine, as it's not like you talk to people in there, is it?

I agree with him about Simon Pegg - he was very good, but I could only see Simon Pegg trying to "be" Scotty. But Karl Urban was fucking superb man.

But the thing is were these performances good in their own right or was it just because they conjour up nostalgia for the older series? It's hard to look at them without having that prior knowledge interfering.

I suppose you could say that with most prequals.

I was not a big fan of the original, but did like the film..

I saw 'Cthulu' this week. I was put off by the idea of Torri what's her tits being in it but luckily she only has a marginal role in the film. Interesting film and a rather splendid version of 'Shadow over Innsmouth' which is a difficult story to adapt as it's mainly the protaganist being told things. Thinking about it, it's probably the most successful Lovecraft adaptation I've seen (including the late 60's Dean Stockwell vehicle 'The Dunwich Horror') it has just the right feeling of 'otherness' without going overboard and becoming silly and captures the spirit of the story.

Have you seen In The Mouth Of Madness? It's a Lovecraft story in all but name and does an excellent job of capturing the atmosphere of weird, otherworldly menace with monsters you never at any point get a decent look at.

It's also the last time that John Carpenter was Any Good.

the silent movie "call of cthulu" was excellent. I also saw one spanish "Shadow over Innsmouth" version called "Dagon". It was watchable, altough my expectations were very low.

I remember Mouth of Madness being good but it's been sometime since I saw it...to the downloadatron!

Yep, the HPLS "Call of Cthulu" is an exceptional piece of work seeing they made it for tuppence and is probably the best literal adaptation of the source material (if indeed the only one). I've heard of Dagon but never seen it....to the downloadatron!

In the Mouth of Madness was absolutely brill. Front Line Assembly sample it on the track Mortal on the album Hard Wired.

You know, V for Vendetta is actually a really good film. Third viewing now, present one on London to Stroud train.

Just watched "Very Bad Things", a late-90's film that I'd heard of but never seen.

Has a good ensemble cast including Christian Slater, Cameron Diaz, Jeremy Piven & Jon Favreau.

Starts off like a fairly normal thriller/drama but gradually descends into a very amusing & some-what bad-taste black comedy.

Don't want to delve into the plot as it's far more fun if you go into it not knowing what to expect (was for me anyway).

Slater is on top form and steals the film, though everyone else is good too.

Very enjoyable all-in-all. 8/10

I would if I could find the black and white version. The colour one is so terribly poorly inked that it's a hideous mess. Someone should just entirely redraw the whole thing.

Ooo, this looks splendid, 'The Road' based on the book of the same name with old Aragorn as the lead. I love me post apocalypse films almost as much as Zombies, A Boy and a Dog being a particular favourite.

Ooooh, that does look good.

In a similar "post apocolyptia" vein, what was that film where Scotland goes squinky and all Mad Max and gets walled off?

I saw the movie 'Jumper' this evening. Not as bad as I was expecting, mostly due to an entertaining turn from Jamie Bell, and Rachel Bilson being cute.

Ooh, Sir Terry Gilliam is trying to startup filming The Man Who Shot Don Quixote again. Bloody hell, it's been nine years since filming stopped on that. Nine years?! Where the hell has all that time gone?

Yeah, at the end I was like, "Ummm... and that's it?"

I think they were saving the plot for the sequel.

The action scenes were pretty nifty though.

I'd recommend it highly to people who like flashy effects driven movies with no plot. Like fans of 'Transformers'.

;)

I watched 7 Pounds starring Will Smith last night and it was very good. Considerably better than "In Pursuit of Happyness" which was a big pile of gay.

Frost/Nixon is my current recommendation. Michael Sheen acts his socks off as Frost but is still knocked into a cocked hat by the towering performance of Frank Langella as Nixon.

Tell No One.

Utterly brilliant French mystery thriller about a doctor who is attacked and left unconscious while a serial killer murderds his wife. Eight years later, two more bodies are found in the same area, the case is re-opened, and the doctor comes under suspicion. Then he gets an email from someone who knows something only his wife should know.

I don't want to tell any more than that, but it is one of the best films I've seen for years. Well written, brilliantly acted, great, plausible, unpredictable but sensible plot that unravels perfectly, and even the music and editing and mis en scene are great. Best of all, everyone in it is intelligent. People succeed or fail and things happen because of intelligent, reasonable thinking and behaviour, not because everyone else is just a fucking idiot, like in 99.9% of other films.

Couldn't recommend it more, frankly.


I have acquired this. I will watch this. It better be good, chap.

We watched it a couple of weeks ago, it was ok, I wouldn't rave about it as much as SA, but I did enjoy it.

Night at the Museum 2
If you loved the first, you'll love this one too, some clever writing and cool scenes.

When I grow up, I want to be Amelia Earheart. :DD

Everybody who hasn't already seen it go and catch Coraline in 3D before it goes off the cinema screens at the Cineworld branches, the last showing is at 6:10 Thursday night. It's the best children's film in my opinion of the last ten years, outside of Studio Ghibli. Utterly ravishing to look at, a really scary monster, some great laughs, frights, a clever plucky lass as the lead - it's just brilliant, okay? Oh! And soundtrack is fab too.

Gaiman's having a far better run film wise than poor old Moore, methinks.

Jumper was shit, Cthulhu was a real banquet of a film, stark and fanboy pleasing whilst keeping the cannon elements as relative cameos... to ultimately good effect. Open-minded and will probably reveal new twists in repeated viewings. Tori Spelling was fine in it.

Doomsday is a fantastic film, Best of British. It's a tribute, a mashup, an anachronism and a work of stupid, brilliant, gory, entertaining art. I wish for a sequel quietly, even Marshall would do well to top that fanboygasm.

Utterly ravishing to look at, a really scary monster, some great laughs, frights, a clever plucky lass as the lead - it's just brilliant, okay? Oh! And soundtrack is fab too.

Gaiman's having a far better run film wise than poor old Moore, methinks.
We were going to watch this, but I really didn't enjoy A Nightmare Before Christmas, so thought I might do well to avoid this.

It is, honestly, way, way better. :)

I haven't seen Coraline yet (tbh, the book was a little disappointing Imhotep), but you're both VERY WRONG IN THE HEAD!

The Nightmare Before Christmas is an all-time classic.

I really like Nightmare Before Christmas, I'm just saying - and I even agree with you here on the book not being the classic lots of people say it is - that it's way, way better.

In my opinion.

I think I pretty much said that as well. This film should be in the top 100 on imdb, NOT that start trek nonsense (despite being still good fun). Coraline is pure ART. (Even if it is slightly too long).

I'm going to buy the soundtrack. I already have a 'preview version' and it's gorgeous.

Jumper was shit, Cthulhu was a real banquet of a film, stark and fanboy pleasing whilst keeping the cannon elements as relative cameos... to ultimately good effect. Open-minded and will probably reveal new twists in repeated viewings. Tori Spelling was fine in it.

Nope, you've lost me there. The pug-faced "actress" who only got a spot in 90210 because Daddy was producing it?
