No idea what role - I'll probably try out for Billy Bibbit, if he isn't pre-cast. Pretty much the only part in my age bracket, sadly.

The main community theatre company around here is putting it on as their final mainstage show in a few months...they haven't released the audition details yet though, so I have no idea what parts they'll be casting for. Still - no matter what roles are availible, you can damn well bet I wouldn't miss the chance.

Read Kesey's book a few years back - loved it, really is a great read. I can see why he was pissed about the movie version though...tons of changes.

same here - i keep hoping he'll guest at the festival of fear

Watchmen

Really enjoyed it. Patrick Wilson is great. Jackie Earle Haley is fucking amazing as Rorschach. The ending is different, but I feel it is almost (it's a sin to say it, I know) better than Alan Moore's climax.

There are some really lame music cues and some silliness, but I walked out smiling.

8/10

Watchmen. I enjoyed it.

"Amityville II - the possession" 6/10

What a surprisingly hardcore horror movie, considering the date.

Another surprising thing was the acting from especially the actors playing the incestous siblings. Why the hell didn't Jack Magner (the brother) get more movie parts than "Firestarter" after this performance?? I thought he was the highlight of Amityville 2.

My Bloody Valentine 3D

Dont nail me for this, Elvis. Liked it much more than I actually thought I would. It must be one heck of an experience to see this on the big screen. Here's to hoping.

Dante 01 (2008)

http://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/images/s...008_poster.jpg

Set in the future, where criminals are packed off to outer space, recounts the mishaps of six dangerous criminals locked in a prison on Dante, a hostile planet with a toxic atmosphere. As guinea pigs of strange experiences, the six try to escape under the direction of psychopath Cesar, who battles for leadership with St Georges, an inmate gifted with mysterious powers.

The story looks promising at the first half but the end screwed the whole impression.

Outpost

Not sure how many of you have seen this, but this is a kickass flick. Pretty similar to Dog Soldiers or even Deathwatch but on a smaller scale, budget-wise.

What makes this flick stand out is the outstanding direction and script, backed by some really solid performances and beautiful cinematography, which creates a lot of wonderful atmosphere - especially in the second half. The ending is a bit of a letdown (**MINOR SPOILERS**) with no explanations or background given to explain for the actions of the antagonist , but overall its gritty, solid and nifty.

I really liked it and would love to recommend this to all my friends here in HDC. Watch the ending with a very open mind though.

Currently Watching Urban Legends trilogy.

On Thursday I watched the first one, one of the best horrors I have ever seen.

Friday I watched Final Cut. Nowehere near as good as the original but still a suspenseful storyline and amazing movie.

Tonight I'll watch Bloody Mary. hope it is better than the first. I have heard it was, but I don't think it will be.

Also watched Babysitter Wanted on Thursday. Wasn't as good as people saaid, that might be because I prefer straight up slasher, whereas, Babysitter Wanted was more who's outside movie.

Nacho Libre

Cronos


Had a bit of a Mexican theme going today.

Yeah..saw it few months ago...a pretty decent war horror movie. The script, casting, camera work all quite smartly worked out to create the dark & moody atmosphere. Specially it was great to see Ray Stevenson on the lead, even I think to some extent he looked better with this role than Punisher.


Walled In (2009)

Disappointing.

Sex & Fury (1973)

"Amityville 3-D" 4/10

Most memorable about A3 is the appearance of Meg Ryan..

Blood from the Mummys Tomb

Flags of our Fathers


Visually stunning, the battle sequences are probably better than Private Ryan but was frustrated by the constant cutting back and forth between Iwo Jima and the money raising tour afterwards.

"Ravenous" 8/10

Love this horror movie.

Original, well acted and DIRECTED BY A WOMAN!!!! :eek:

Role Models-----I laughed a little bit

Transporter 3----time to end this series

I agree, Haley was a perfect Rorschach and an even better Walter Kovacs. The prison scenes were mint. Over all, as a comic fan, I was impressed by what I saw. The first half of the movie was panel perfect. I loved all the characters and the acting was great. I don't know where they got the guy who played Dan but he was amazing (might be the fact that he was a favourite of mine in the comic though).

The only things I would complain about were related to them changing the ending. I think that Rorschach's efforts to research the Mask Killer theory are more founded and much more bad ass in the comic. He had other leads, like missing people, a mysterious island and another hero getting killed. That's my only gripe. That said, the new ending is more coherent.

I loved the soundtrack with the exclusion of MCR's Desolation Row. They really should have kept with the plan of not using music made after the 80's

9/10 for me. Very few complaints.

agreed. great, fun film.

Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed

Caught up on some Seagal flicks I haven't seen:

The Glimmer Man, Fire Down Below, Exit Wounds, Half Past Dead and Pistol Whipped.

Really enjoyed them. I hadn't seen much of his stuff post-Under Siege. Popcorn for the brain :D

ooh did you love this? I am a big fan. :D

I thought the end was a bit whack. But enjoyed that flick a lot. Is the third film any good? I got told it sucked so I never bothered giving it a spin.

Kind of on a Seagal kick lately...ain't cha?

Have you heard this album....its actually really good....if you like blues....and I do.

Yes! I loved it. I'm going to buy all 3 now. Emily Perkins is great. :D

The casting certainly does deserve praise. Haley was great and his raspy voice (unlike some Christian Bale named actors) was spot on. Crudup, was subtle and convincing. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, dark, sardonic, scary yet charasmatic, fantastic in all his different time frame appearances.

Funnily enough the actor that played Nite Owl, was Raoul in the new Phantom of the Opera... where he failed to be the least bit charming. He was more charming as a kind of awkward geeky recluse.

Mirrors ... not bad , kept me interested

Eagle Eye ... a poor take on 2001... (the HAL portion anyway) only this got stupid fast.


Summer '04 ... german film ... extremely well acted... 100% believable

It all makes sense now! My boyfriend loves The Phantom of the Opera and we watched it. I told him how much Raoul reminded me of him. Then read the Watchmen and told him that the Niteowl reminded me of him (not a certain couch scene, just in personality) and then Niteowl in the movie looks just like him but he thinks my crush is unfounded. Bah!

Farmhouse (2008)

Kelly Hu's cheese grater torture scene was nice but at the end the 'twist' evolved quite weird kind a way.:confused:

death race
taste the blood of dracula
the legend of the seven golden vampires

there's one i've never been able to find

i'll hit the store tomorrow :cool:

is it worth grabbing ?

probably not :p


old skool kung-fu and vampires....interesting mix

i always got a kick out of those chinese hopping vampires :)

I used to have that on VHS (taped if off the TV) but I always thought it was called Curse of the Seven Golden Vampires.
Was it released under different titles or did I just remember wrong? Very enjoyable film though, defo worth a purchase.


Red Sands


Surprisingly decent horror/thriller, quite slow where not much seems to happen but the tension and paranoia is well built. Let down by some dodgy cgi right at the end.

released under a number of titles, none with curse though.





currently £3 with a bunch of other Hammer titles at HMV

Amusement- 6/10


You'll either like it or hate it. I enjoyed it for what it was. I wanted to see more clown though. Decent acting and great atmosphere near the end. The only real problem is plotholes and unexplained stuff. Give it a rent!

After work and before the madrid match, Im off to HMV tomorrow

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

My Bloody Valentine 3D
yeah, that was undeniably a lot of fun, only problem was my eyes killed after a while.
