I saw Hitch tonight.

Most painful movie I've watched in a while. A few parts with the King of Queens guy were funny, but the whole Will Smith love line was so syrupy and unbearable. All the lovey dovey lines, and diagetic music...

Altogether too much chick and not enough flick.

Primer: Fun 70 minute indie sci-fi brain teaser.

The Machinist: Check up on Pre Batman Christian Bale.

I heart huckabees: Fun if you don't think it's actually trying to be serious.

I watched The Life Aquatic a few days ago tooooo. Very strange movie, I suppose that's what you call artistic I just didn't expect all the action, yowza...

The eye goes to Goldblum, of course.

British horror? Doesn't work in my mind.

/because all we are good for is sappy romantic comedies, right?

Watched 'The Manchurian Candidate' remake the other night. Not bad, but kinda ties itself up in knots trying to be clever.

Watched War of the Worlds at the weekend. Really enjoyed it up to the ending; not only Cruise's son miraculously being alive, but also that the ending sequence felt very rushed to me. The initial 99% consists of aliens totally steamrollering the human race and being seemingly invulnerable - yet in the space of a few minutes the aliens had all died off and the movie had ended.

Also recently watched Independence Day (the mid-90's alien invasion movie) for the first time. I now know why I've put off watching it for about a decade: it's total garbage. Will Smith plays himself once again, wisecracking his way through the film. The US President and a hick farmer are ace jet fighter pilots and somehow succeed where the might of the World's professional armies failed. And the best is saved til last; uploading a virus to the alien computers to disable their shields...obviously the Microsoft grip on the Operating System market extends throughout the Universe too.

Not really. It being strange is just the surface. There are a lot of funny moments a lot of people wouldv'e missed, like when Steve Zissou is introducing the cast and he says "Juan Guarez, editor, sound man..." When he says that, line the audio is choppy and badly edited....there are a lot of other parts to the move that were funny, too...anyway....

Agreed. Spoilers herein. I wish everyone wouldv'e died. That was the cheesiest bullshit everyone being alive. If everyone died it wouldv'e been 4X's better.

I'm trying to remember this awesome part from the Life Aquatic. For some reason I laughed myself silly. Ithink it went;

"You know I'm not good at this whole apology thing so if it's all the same, I'll skip it."

"Alright."

"I'm sorry."

I think it went something like that. God it was awesome. But yeah, wierd movie. And I don't see why they used stop frame animation.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it was good. It was also really weird. I also felt that Johnny Depp didn't live up to all the hype about his performance.

yeah that would have made it 4x better. it should have ended really abruptly as well like tom cruise and his daughter running down a street with the big ass tripod after them to the back ground of some of that desperate sort of music they usually play in those sort of scenes when that laser thing blasts through a building crushing both of them in thousands of tonnes of brick.

also the aliens in war of the worlds were pathetic they just looked so frail.

indepence day was a great film. the best bit was when will smith kicks the aliens ass after they crash or whatever.

Just to touch base with WOTW again (spoilers)...

...It's like the music and ambience is heart pounding....those things going around stomping asses like nobodys business and you're like AMERICA, f**k YEAH! And then....at the end you find out Dakota Fannings' brother is alive and you're like...Godammit....and then....they go to Boston and all the Grandparents and stepparents and mother is alive and you are like....oh Jesus titty-f**king Christ....and then little Dakota runs up to her mommy and hugs her to the sound of some inspirational music and you're all like someone just shoot me now please for God's sake. It is then, out of nowhere a tripod should f**king step on them ALL in one big step...just crush the s**t out of them. The camera pans out from the flattened alien food and fades to black. Eat s**t Steven Spielberg.

It was like sex without an orgasm.

Speaking of death, destruction, and sex....anyone see the movie 'Crash' from 1996? (Not the 2004 Crash, that was just in theatres, which is also good, but the one directed by David Cronenberg). It's pretty good for those who like unrated psychotic movies. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

The Wickerman? One of the most cult horror movie of all time?

I haven't got round to watching the bunker yet, I've been watching a movie called session 9, half way through it (fell asleep, teaches me for watching a movie in bed).

Also going to be watching White Noise and Saw.

/methinks for me the problem is identifying what IS a British film. It used to be easy, all the funny accents kinda gave it away but now I am unsure.

But for me I guess I reflect Frenches comment. I cannot envision good horror movies with British anything. I am sure its not the acting, its the silly accents.

I dunno. *shrugs*

Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and it's exactly as you might expect it; effectively th same thing, but done in Tim Burton's own peculiar way. And Johnny Depp does a great Michael Jackson; very odd, wierd guy.

To me, when I hear british horror, I think of something like this;

Two british guys are sitting in a well decorated room, sitting in large comfy chairs next to a blazing fire.

"I say Reginald, this tea is magnificent1"

"Yes, quite."

"Let's have a packet of crisps as well, shall we?"

"Yes."

"Oh my, I forgot the crisps!"

And that violin music plays in the background the one that's classic kinda horror with really highpitched na na na na and then a low rumble.

"Don't look now" is a British horror film and one of the best ever - the only downside being Donald Sutherland's funny accent.
"Omen" wasn't a bad film either - if you can ignore Gregory Peck's silly accent.
"The Wicker Man", as Sloth pointed out, is excellent - and features a naked Brigitte Bardot. What more do you want?

that is a better idea! and hell unrated movies are the best, i mean look at Dawn of the Dead. quality movie. oh anyone seen cannibal holocaust? i think you can only get the full version in the us (where it was rated X til 1985 and i think its unrated now) or the internet. it was either banned or cut any where else. it was actually a pretty s**t film but if anyone likes controversy and to be shocked you should see it.

going to see the island some time this weekend. it looks like a really good film.

and i actually would describe war of the worlds as sex just reaching a climax when the grandparents, ex wife, her husband, daughter and son burst in!
