HAHAHAHAHAHA:p

Watched Manhunter over the weekend. I haven't seen this one in years. Great movie....Brain Cox made a great Hannibal Lecter.

I agree....I think they are creepy as hell.

Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates...

It never lasts long enough and I always end up sticky...

far better than hopkins in my opinion .. more subtle - restrained.

great movie.

Now you sound like my wife.:rolleyes:

at least she isnt complaining about ending up dusty :D

Dont forget South Korea :cool:

Gonna rent this tonight...If you liked "Riddick" I not sure if I can trust you....:(

Vodstok:
The Chronicles of Riddick (Entertaining b-grade fluff. I love Vin Diesel as a psycho)

wall street

i've only got a couple of them and so far I havent been as impressed... but who knows

I just read a few good reviews on this one,[ Shutter ] so I e-bayed a copy for about $14 [ that includes shipping ].

had the same problem with my 2 disc version, apparantly its a pressing error... faulty batch of discs. You can get to see that track though, it's a bit of a hassle, but if you bookmark just before the bit where it goes dodgy, and then slow frame through the start of the bad part then play normally, it seams to play it ok.

here in canada ... we never have that problem.


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


enjoy your substandard DVDs, non Canadians !!!


AHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

That's the downside to them getting all those damn special edition boxed sets over there.....:D

LMFAO

and thats why you have to resort to getting films on manky old fashioned laserdisc, cos you cant get proper films on dvd.





AAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!




:D

laserdiscs are the SHIT amigo !!

do yourself a favor and try to get your hands on a player and start gobbling up those discs ..

although the ones you get might be full of laser rot and missing tracks :D

I watched all of these within the past month or so... Manchurian Candiate [Unless you are talking about the original, which I havnt seen], I thought was awful. But thats just my opinion.

Riddick was decent, but nowhere near comparable to the very good Pitch Black that it was a spin-off from. But for a bit of mindless action, not that bad.

Colateral, on the other hand, was great. Amazing performances by both Cruise [I cant believe I just said that] and Foxx. The story was fairly original, and Vince was one crazy muthafucka.

"Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre" - Too episodic to truly grip you as far as the characters are concerned. as the film re-creates one true event and/or atrocity after another with the very few characters we get to know leading us to each of these re-creations but doing little else.

But there are some really powerful, shocking moments and sights and the last 15 minutes horrifyingly piles on the kind of heartbreaking, up close and personal tragedy the rest of the film was mostly lacking.

And the final scene is amazingly powerful and affecting.
It brought tears to my eyes and made me hold me 7 month baby girl just that little bit tighter.

And it can be taken far more seriously as a serious, dramatic condemnation of atrocity than the more widely seen, far more exploitative, "Men Behind the Sun".

i thought Riddick movie over extended itself a bit ...
the 1st one was such a stripped down action film
with a new interesting lead ..

the Chronicles movie got a bit too complex - it was all over the place - tried to cram too much in.
One thing wouldnt be finished and it was off in another direction.

Like an attempt to turn an action film into an epic.

It was visually interesting but i found other than one or 2 characters no one had enough screen time to develop ..
so i wasnt as interested in what happened to them.

Sideways

it was just has funny as it was well done.

i just watched a documentary on the sundance channel called "the year of the bull"...it was made in 2003...it's about a high school football player from florida....i dug friday night lights...alot....but this documentary made me wanna tackle somebody....i loved it....it was pretty ghetto...so beware culture shock.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show:D Singed all night long

I don't know anywhere that sells them in th uk, off or online.

I watched Horror Vision and Side Show yesterday, I liked them, but their not the glossy new releases most people like. I've seen Friday Night Lights, Manchurian, and Collateral too, and got to say Manchurian was the best of the bunch, but they all made a great sucking sound in my opine. Collateral was so boring, dragging on and on, and was so predictable.

David Twohy (the director) just wanted to make fun b-grade action flicks. The first was basically his version of the original "THing" and movies like that. In the commentary, he said he was looking to make kind of a throwback to 50's era monster movies.

I expected bvery very little, so i enjoyed what i got :)

Constantine, Saw it with my daughter destiny. It was her 16th birthday. We both loved it!! :D

He's got quite a following with his films/screenplays so he's doing something right. My wife is a new release whore so she liked it a lot more then I did.

I watched the John Barrymore version of Jeckyl and Hyde...not bad, but wasnt great.

That's funny, I think it's one of the better versions. maybe because it's a silent film causes it to lose some of it's appeal for you?

Im a huge Silent film fan, I just thought this one was too long and boring. I loved Nosferatu, Metropolis, and Hunchback of Notre Dame though:)

All great films, try Vampyr (1932? too lazy to go look at my copy) it's not silient but the sound quality is so poor it might as well be. I believe it is originally a French film, and it is avaiable on DVD. I have taken to watching most silent films on my laptop, so I'm a lot closer, and can see the sub-titles a lot better.

Ill try to track that down...

I own Lon Cheney's Phantm of the Opera, but havnt got around to watching it...

Wow! A real classic, one of the best.

Le Manoir Du Diable (The Devil's Castle) is considered the first "horror" film, but I don't think there is any copies of it. We discussed it in film class along with a couple of other very early silent films, unfortunately a lot of them are not available, or lost to the ages...damned old nitrate film.

1896, George Melies. 2 minutes long, what an epic!

I just watched Zombi 2 [AKA Zombie]...wow, that was one hell of a movie! Loved it! The "Wood+Eye" scene was amazing, so was the shark/zombie fight....but I cant see why these scenes get so much attention, and the scene with [Name would be a spoiler] laying on the floor getting ripped apart get none....strange!

Isn´t it also called "Zombie flesh eaters"?


If so, i didn´t like it so much. "City of the dead" was way better, with the count Dracula look alike who could make people bleed from their eyes. That was nicely made.:)

Only in Britain.

Casper (1995):Family ghost movie with the "old" ghost, and some movie parodies on The Exorcist, Ghostbusters and so on.

Monsters Inc.:Pixars well deserved Oscar nominated computer animated movie withn many great scares, jokes and touching scenes.

When Harry Met Sally:Classic 80s comedy, including the famous NYC restaurant scene.

Because [Until last night] I handt watched a movie in weeks, Im going overboard today. So far, Jeckyl and Hyde, Zombi, and, most recently, Highwaymen.

Very good movie. Fairly original [Albiet VERY perdicatable] plot, decent acting [Colm Feore, great as usual], and one hell of an ending!!!
