watched DEAD MAN earlier today for only the second time...brilliant
Just watched Miike's IMPRINT - pretty damned entertaining, sort of threw the whole spectrum of taboos at you in that one.

Friday the 13th (What else?)
Well I was planning to marathon the whole series tonight, but considering I fell asleep during this, I think I'll head to bed, haha.

The Omen (2006)
You know what? This wasn't bad at all. Infact, it's quite a strong remake. Or re-filming, as I would call it. The plot follows the original almost to a t; save for some apocoplytic relating to recent world events (which was quite smart in my books). The acting is definately down from the original, way down, and Julia Stiles is a big stinker - but it doesn't distract from the overall experience that much (and besides, she's not the main focus). Visually... it's stunning. Set pieces, camera work, effects... all done very well. The Damien in this movie, in my opinion, is a lot creepier then the older Damien in the originals. Overall... it's like the original. There's really no point to it, except for opening the original up to a newer, flash-craving, audience. And what's so wrong about that? If you like the original, I'd say check this out at least. There's not too much difference, except for the fact that the film footage is fresher. |
