Yeah decent first film from Zowie Bowie!

His new film is out soon, looks pretty good.

I am looking forward to that one too.

Looks good for sure.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Gates of Fire by Stephen Pressfield is well worth a read. It's a novel about the Spartan stand against the Persians at Thermopylae. A classic of it's genre, almost had me in tears...well actually If you're into historical novels. Give it a go. You'll love it!

I thought it was very good indeed.

Gives a wonderful look at how they operate too. The part about young boys etc. kind of gave me the heebee jeebies though.

Has anyone else seen Moon?

Bloody fantastic.

possibly the wrong picture

stellar work there.

I know how your wife felt. It was rubbish.

Garbage is more apt I feel.

Watched both Adjustment Bureau and The King's Speech at the wonderful AMC at Altamonte Springs just outside Orlando this week.

Very different films (obviously) but both great way to spend $6.

Jeffrey Rush was magnificent in TKS.

Do you live in Orlando?

Watched Battle LA last night with the wife - she fell asleep.

If you are looking for lots of action, bullets flying, yelling and general mayhem - this will be for you.

If you are looking for seeing what is being shot at, or generally knowing what is going on - this is not for you.

Horrified that they completely ripped off the heavy weapon scene from Saving Private Ryan.

I left the theater after watching this sadly mehed about the whole thing. Even though there was more gunfire than in the entire Battle of Gettysburg, you never felt like it was exciting. It felt like watching someone play Call of Duty on the PS3.

However the enemy were interesting, and on the whole, better actors than the humans.

The military advisor should also have been shot, more wardrobe errors than in the entire run of Jag.

Atlas Shrugged Part One comes out in April....

Should be ..... erm .... lengthy. PART 1!!!!

Something to think about

here

Whilst I am all for womans rights, dressing James Bond in a female wig and pumps is sacrilege.

Can't bra burning be vogue again?

The Crazies was excellent. Timothy Olyphant could make the phonebook seem cool.

His line "Everything is f*$&in' moving" had me in stiches.

Are these all the recent remakes (e.g. The Hills Have Eyes) or the originals?

Please watch the original... in my opinion of course.

The Craziies remake was good, as I liked the actor lead, but again, the Romaro version is better. IMO

Was that the one with the Nazi zombies? If so it was a great film.

That's the one, loved it.

Watched this last night, thought it was very good, confusing all the way through until the last few minutes though.

Anyone recommend some genuinely good horrors? Modern ones especially. Watched Paranomal Activity 2 and thought 'meh' but interested in what the best of the genre are.

Any recommendations?

Dead Snow, class horror from Norway, Horror Comedy but well worth the go

Thought The Last Exorcism was decent.

Pandorium is also worth a go, more scifi but dark.

There is no other Scifi movie but Aliens.

Hudson alone makes that movie class.

I also feel that if I had never seen it I could have enjoyed Avatar more.

Watched Memento for the first time last night, very good film don't know how I missed it until now.

Felt the ending was a little underwhelming though

Also you guys give M Night too much credit, I think for most of his films he thinks of a twiiist and then wraps a bad plot around it. Although as I said Devil was Ok as a saturday night popcorn flick.

I've also been watching the Alien series for the first time over the last couple of weeks, doing a backlog of classics I may have missed

YOU. HAVE. NOT. SEEN. ALIENS. BEFORE?

Of course the clincher is: "Let's go and harvest us some food. Naked. On a planet 2/3 covered in a substance so acidic to us is causes our skin to melt instantly. Where that same substance falls from the sky quite regularly."

*some time later*

"Well, that was a hell of a lot of effort, but at least we get to chow down on some delicious, delicious human........AAAAAIIIIIEEEE they're made of water! Who knew????"

The worst part is, none of that occured to me while watching it in the cinema.

Yes it always struck me as odd as them being so thick as not to know that water would be everywhere. Just breathing all of the water vapor in the air should have been terribly uncomfortable for them. One would expect, at the very least, for their leaders to issue some manner of rebreather.

One would assume that the leadership would be aware of such liquid terrors and have at least issued raincoats, perhaps waders at the very least, or similar. I can tell you from experience that those corn plants can contain a prodigious amount of water, especially in the very early mornings - which seemed the favoured time for their expeditions into them.

And another thing the camouflage, not that I mind he stole the pretense of camouflage quite without shame from Predator, they used it so terribly. Why on earth, or wherever they come from, would they take all the time to hide in bushes etc. and then walk right in front of a white wall? Slowing, I may add in a terrible show of all military evasion techniques, to do a fantastic imitation of the Patterson Bigfoot video.

Seriously, Aliens who can master space travel but can't open a door?

Or, that in a master plan for world domination they found it necessary to invade a podunk farm in the middle of nowhere and play chase the crows in a corn field, at night, naked.

No rayguns either. Missed the rayguns I did.

"Mars Attacks" hands that movie its ass.

Twilight... It haunts me, it will not go away. My life has been damaged by this book in so many ways, it has been shortened by the reading of it.

I gave into the pressures of the universe and read this book, using the pretense of reading it to ensure that it was suitable for my daughter.

Manpoints are at an all time low, equal to my faith in editing, taste, and the populations judgment.

People actually thinking this was a good "book" sums up the worlds problems. This thing is not a book - it was a jumble of worlds with a dash of vampire and a full on load of festering pig crap. I have it mounted above my fireplace, bullet hole in prideful display, as a warning to anyone mentioning this tome of tripe in my presence again.

Wretched at best.

The words "glare" and "scowl" will never be the same for me, I never knew that a single word could be used so much, at least four times on every page. The words, in the end, became like "and" and "the," something that my mind subconsciously slipped over as it had became conditioned to its presence. After awhile it was no longer needed in there at all, as it should have been noted by the author in the forward that "All characters will have a scowl on their face at all times, and any look that they send anyone at all will be a glare. Any other look, or change in expression, will be noted." This would have saved pages and pages of text and trees in the end.

Baseball... Vampires playing baseball...

If all women were like the female protagonist then we would be extinct as a species. A bigger idiot has never blundered themselves onto a page. The darkly sinister, yet glowing in the sun?!?!?, Edward has become a symbol of sex. Why? He has the charisma of Kean and the dialogue of a corpse, well maybe that is what she was trying to do. If women of planet earth are looking for this in a man then I see no reason why they complain about their husbands. Talk to them less is obviously the cure for all matrimonial issues. Look like you are going to rip their throat out when they are angry with you and they will be submissive. Men, this is obviously the way forward. Throw in some glares too! "I'm Dangerous" "Stay away from me" "You smell tasty" is about all he has to say, in general variations of the theme. For someone that has lived that long he is awfully dull.

Dire.

I have never been close to suicide whilst reading a book before, but I was close (sorry tashor close, not there yet.) If I had left a note with just the word "Twilight" on it, the police would have understood.

I recently procured this card signed by the man himself, it does not fit into my "acceptable" category for my collections and would be happy to give it to anyone whom may wish it. It is from the Shoot Out 2006-2007 set, yellow back.

It has a crease across it you see and that does not jive with my collection.

I would be happy to post it to any Rovers fan who wishes it. Do not worry I will not visit and I will pay the postage.

Let me know.

Thought Devil was pretty ordinary, not enough suspense and too many plot holes. M Knight needs to watch more Sam Raimi movies if he wants to nail how to make a modern day horror/suspense.

Drag Me To Helll was fantastic.

Army of Darkness is classic. Not at all happy with the cut they used for the bluray Screwhead Edition, they removed far too many of the skeletons classic one liners - which Raimi and his brother voiced by the way.

Yeah kind of horror / thriller M Night Shalyman (or however you spell it) film.

Basically 5 people stuck in a lift and things start going wrong.

Been wondering if I should give it a go.

Sounds interesting enough, thanks.

Just watched Devil tonight, actually quite enjoyed it, it's in no way a masterpiece but ok as a popcorn flick.

Is that the horror type movie?

Book of Fate - Gash

Book of Lies - Gasher

Under the Dome = Tommyknockers + The Stand

Just got the Battlestar Galactica Bluray complete series Limited Edition box set (the metal tin with Mr. Cylon on the cover) for 90 dollars at a pawn store.

Confused how the British limited edition made its way here, but delighted all the same.

The joys of traveling.

I still can't believe we got so much for him.

We charged them by the pound.
