I always liked The Astronaut's Wife despite the lack of attention and praise it gets.

I loved the Hammer version, specially Peter Cushing's dance sequence...a rare treat!:) And no need to mention the gorgeous Ursula Andress:o

i think they are making a maniac cop 4 v

"Red Riding Hood" (2011)
-Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Shiloh Fernandez



Plot: IMDB

Valerie (Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider, Peter (Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon... Written by Warner Bros. Pictures

Phantom's Review: I gotta be honest with you, I really didn't know what to expect from this film when we watched it. Was it going to be a "Wolfman" style "guts and gore" horror flick? Or some sort of lame "Twilight" type of film. Much to my surprise, the film seemed to follow a murder mystery type of format with almost the entire village locked behind walls and the werewolf is someone on the inside. You get a bunch of suspects to choose from and the director leads you in different directions as you try and figure it out. The film is beautifully shot and is surprisingly good, both in story and acting.
The romance angle is a little cliche', but the ending is interesting. Overall, I liked it.

How did you see that already?

I had to see it.


"A Warning To The Curious" 7/10

The Woman In Black without the woman in black. Very atmospheric indeed.



"Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" 9/10

Could easilly have watched 2 more hours of this movie. Hopefully i will when a sequal is made. Next year?

No no, that's a good movie, I'm talking about the post apocalyptic Sandahl Bergman flick.

Pheomena (1985)

I gotta say, at first I was totally confused but wound up loving this movie

Theres a whole series of these. I love them. I was really dissapointed by the one they did last year with John Hurt.

they had it on in a bar when i went to camden in london, so we had a meal and a drink and sat and watched it :)

Suuuuure you did. :rolleyes: :D


Heathen.

:cool:

yep i shure did :)

No.... you didn't.

It's simple. You're a criminal thug.

And you've seen em all? Can you recommend some?

check this movie out if u aint seen it, very good old 80's movie.

That actually sounds pretty damn good.

SOLD!!

let me know what u thought.

Sounds kinda fishy to me.............;)

A racist killer dog movie? Well thats a new one, i'm gonna check it out

Yeah - see em all. I love MR James.

All the adaptations except the last one are really goot

The New 'View from a Hill' and Number 13 are top notch and I think The Ash Tree is my favourite of the older ones though they're all good.

Jacques Tourneur's Night of the Demon is also based on a James story (Casting the Runes) - there is also a 70's TV version of it too.

very good movie, let me know what u thought.
slow start but it's not your blood and guts movie, just good story.

very good movie from the director of wolf creek.

I liked that movie. There aren't many good killer alligator/crocodile movies aside from Alligator so i was pleased with it.

based on a true story aswell

Fright Night (2011)

I was really, really looking forward to this one...the trailers were great, and after In Bruges I've really been a fan of Colin Ferrell. I thought this could be one of those rare "good" remakes...and, as far as I'm concerned, it turned out great.

The start of the movie, however, is undeniably awful. Painful dialog delivered by horrible "teen" actors - even our hero Charley Brewster seems pathetic. The only thing that works right of the start is Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin') as Evil Ed - turns out the kid is becoming a pretty decent actor, and he's perfect for the part.

It stays pretty damn bad for a good long while - basically until Jerry really gets a chance to kick some ass, at which point it pulls at complete 180. Colin Ferrell plays a great monster, and even though it can get pretty corny at times, his Jerry has such an animal charisma that it sucks you right in. And once Charlie meets up with Peter Vincent (the always badass David Tennant, being awesome), it doesn't stop getting better right up to the ending.

They manage to stay faithful to the original too, surprisingly. It updates a lot of course and some details are changed up here and there, but all things considered it stays pretty close.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I thought this was a damn good remake - and just an overall blast of an action-packed horror comedy. If you can suffer through some horrible acting/dialog here and there, you should have a lot of fun.

how was fast five, my fave of them is still tokyo drift and alot of people dint like that one.

a danish comedy called 'All for One'.

Pretty funny, but a lil slow and too short imo.

Killer Crocodile is really good too.

i remember that movie, i think i will watch that again.

I think it isn't too much wrong to say that Fast Five is the best in the series. But I'd like to put it just after the first one. Liked their idea to add the heist action flavor with very few but some effective fast car sequence. Johnson and Diesel's fight part was a great treat to watch. Now very much looking forward for the Fast Six.

I didn't dislike Tokyo Drift but yeah it wasn't that much good either.

cheers mate, i will look forward to watching it.

Cool, i'll check that out

Fright Night

With the remake out, i decided to revisit this movie. It's been awhile but it's still as fun as the first time i saw it. I forgot how awesome the death scenes were. I hope the remake can live up to it.

dont think it will mate, heard alot of bad things about it.dont think it's anything like the original.

Yeah im not expecting much. I'm still gonna check it out though

yeah i am still curious.

"Conan The Barbarian" (2011)
-Jason Momoa

Plot: IMDB



The tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.

Phantom's Review: Awesome! This was a great movie. Exactly what I wanted in a Conan movie. A story right out of the pulps, extreme violence, gallons of gore, evil witches,sorcery, sword fights and lots of naked woman.
Jason Momoa is fine as Conan (his style/look is more Barry Windsor-Smith, than John Buscema) and the film is shot well. I enjoyed it a lot.

Just watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

It was good, very good even. The ending was a little anticlimatic but I'm under the impression there is a sequel already in the works so it makes sense really. Plus, there is some extra parts after the initial credits so be sure to stick around for a little bit. This sets the scene for a follow up nicely. The CGI is frankly, amazing. The few laughable parts are, I think, a result of the difficulty of showing increasing intelligence. For that reason, I don't think the film should be criticised as they did well with a difficult idea. They just pushed it a little too far and it became a tad farcical.
