If you want a testament to his talent as an actor, definately pick up Kalifornia. His performance in that was just mindblowing, partially because it was just so different then what we're used to seeing him do.

I actually almost bought that last week, but I noticed that it's R rated. Oh the curses of youth...;)

The Frighteners

From the first time I watched it over a year ago this has been one of my favourite films. The opening credits alone are enough to impress most people : Micheal J. Fox, Jeffery Combs, R. Lee Ermey, Dee Wallace Stone, effects by Rick Baker, written and directed by Peter Jackson...a veritable who's-who of Hollywood and horror. The plot is incredible, full of surprises, laughs, scares and fun. I can vouch for the fact that it can stand up to numerous viewings; other than Dracula and House on Haunted Hill, I cant think of a film that I've watched as many times as this, and it keeps getting better every time. The actors are phenomenal, the effects are very realistic and cool, the plot is interesting and very original...this is basically a perfect movie. I can only think of a handful of films that deserve a perfect 10, but this is certainly one of them.

10/10

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

Funny little shlock film, in the so bad it's good catagory for me though. I loved the way the film was done, good stuff and I'm glad I got to see this one.

Dawn of the Dead - (original - '78) absolutely fantastic. Anybody seen the remake - is it worth a watch?

The remake is definately worth a watch - has some good effects.

However, for me it just can't come close to the original. Romero's Dawn of the Dead seems to me to have a rhythm and pacing about it that is just right. Makes it feel a lot shorter than its running time. The characters develop a depth about them that somehow doesn't require lengthy character-building scenes outside of the main plotline. A great piece of film making.
