Control

I thought it was really good. Ray Liotta plays a heartless murderer who is given a drug to supress his violent urges. That's pretty much all I can say without spoiling anything.

My single complaint is that it was 90 minutes long and is actually one of the few movies that would have seriously been better if they added another 30.

16 Blocks.

Chalk up another great movie for Bruce Willis' resume. He plays burnt out old guy so well...


Plus David Morse and Mos Def were great.

I agree that the movie was good....but Mos Def's voice irritated
the hell out of me.

Did he not sound like "Handi-man" from in living color?

jesus christ as horror fans we've been asked to suspend our disbelief more than any other breed of film fan ..

its so rare we get anything close to well acted - i just can't complain about something the quality of haute tension because of a goofy plot device..
Great point!! The plot (the end) was obviously far fetched but what horror movie isn't??? I still think it's one of the better movies I have seen in a while!

Creepshow 2

Cleared a lot of the movies my dad was telling me I should see. He didn't know what the movies were though.

8/10

daddys boy, ha

Watching season 4 of scrubs at the moment, 6 has just started screening here I think, but I never manage to catch it...thus far, seems ok.

Just got done watching 24 season 4. Show's watchable as always, didn't quite like this season as much as I had prior.
S5 Looks better, I'll grab that next.

no i'd definately want to see it as a period piece .. an homage to bradbury.

someone who has the love and respect for bradbury the way jackson had for king kong.

Those are great to watch back to back. 'Hellbound' really is a great sequel.
