Now Cocoon was a great movie. Anyone who classes that as an old-timer's movie is kidding themself. [addsig]

matt, i've not seen calendar girls, but i know it's about some old ladies who get there tits out. so maybe going to the pictures with your mum wasn't the best way to watch this one.

i'd say she done it to noise you up.

i only mentioned them both, cause they are about really old people, doing youngish things is all.. anyone could/should enjoy both flicks.. 5 star material IMO.. i don't personally think either movie can only be enjoyed by old people.

I just finished watching the new dawn of the dead, it's a great re-make, the special effects on the zombies are great. [addsig]

Dawn of the Dead remake is awesome too.
Come on though, the original Dawn of the Dead SUCKED.

Orph, the whole moron statement was sarcasm.

But, the movie is a billion times better then the trailors make it look, and the traloirs DO make it look good.

I like how you come up with bizzare theories about me with little proof. It makes you sound like you're the leader of a toned down cult. [addsig]

I wonder if in the future, a proper movie will be made about half-life[/2] or its mods, that would be funny. [addsig]

Doubtful. Taking that HL really doesn't have all that great of a story. Its great for a video game, but I don't think it could carry a movie really well. Of course, I'm talking about it couldn't be a respectable movie on its own. It would be a fanboy movie, and a lot of people hate those kinds of movies.
There's really never been a game based movie that was a wonderful movie on its own.

Now, I like Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat as much as the next person, but they're not stand alone good movies.

I think HL would be treated the same way. The only way it could be made really well is if the story was completly readapted with the same characters and a bit more complexity. Because if they did a really good conspiracty theory thing in the movie it would be pretty good ... if done properly. But it would be really easy to screw up a HL movie.

Secondly, it'd be retarded if it was called Half-Life ... I'm sorry, it doesn't fit outside of the game setting. [addsig]

Watched City of God for the second time the other night, very long and meandering but great nonetheless. Never seen a film quite like it before, and it has a greatly effective soundtrack. Subtitles will put a lot of people off but its a cool movie.

Also saw Shaun of the Dead at long bloody last, and it was, as expected, pretty damn hilarious. I thought it was getting progressively worse from the start, but as it began so well I was still enjoying it come the end

For any fans of Asian cinema, check out "Zatoichi" starring, and directed by, one of Japan's finest - Beat Takashi. Its a remake of sorts, as the main character is kind of legendary in Japan with many old films about him. Its bloody and violent, but also funny and interesting, well worth checking out.

I'm addicted to Reservoir Dogs. I've watched it about 5 times over the last 3 days. And it's still damn good stuff.

reservoir dogs is the same old boring comedy/violence dark slant that tarantino that does well, but not brilliantly - and usually in the same old, tired cliched format. funny at first, tragic afterwards, imo at least. i will say now im not a tarantino like 99% of the populous UK and USA, and the world

city of god however is teh win - perfect example of how societies values, morals and misguided approached to development distort the most vulnerable - children, into drug taking killing machines :/

overall a sad, but powerful commentary on how western politics has shaped south america into the mess it has become today. really good film, definately worth a watch

Orph, are you watching the theatrical cuts? I don't even consider those cuts of the film anymore, the extended editions are leaps and bounds.

Dawn of the Dead comes out on DVD soon!!!
And I bought The Devil's Advocate today. I'll buy Star Wars as soon as it is below at least 40 (right now everyone has it at like 52)

Dammit, Shaun of the Dead is great. I love that movie. [addsig]

One night Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, and Spike Jonze each individually snorted exactly twelve kilos of crack cocaine.

Some hours later, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was born.

I'm a young filmmaker, so people automatically call me artsy. Though I didn't want to, I almost started to believe them. This movie has redefined artsy.
