Rey_Piste Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I did watch the first 45 minutes of the Streetfighter movie on it the other day. I love JCVD, but he is pretty awful in the film, Raul Julia was great in it though. This line is great from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Tucker and Dale vs. Evil  Lots of fun, with cult classic written all over it. Basically, it's about how two nice hillbillies are oblivious to their appearances and apparent actions painting them as horror movie archetypes in the eyes of a bunch of teens who've clearly seen loads of horror movies. That gulf grows and the situations become more over-the-top and more violent.  Tyler Labine steals the film as a kind-hearted and insecure hillbilly, Dale.  I'm big on horror, so I really enjoyed it, but I think it's still got a lot going for it in and of itself.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wind Chill  Has anyone seen this? Produced by superstars, fairly high budget, limited cinema release and as a result almost no-one saw it. Hmm.  Well, it's really good in places. Emily Blunt's an absolutely great little actress and she's almost as good here as she was in My Summer Of Love (which is utterly fantastic, by the way - if you thought Paddy Considine was shit-scary in Dead Man's Shoes, you need to see this) and she clearly is the reason why this film is quite good rather than mediocre.  There are some pretty good scenes in it (the bit with the 'guy' on the bridge is surprisingly nasty) and some bits that leave you wondering what the hell is going on, but then it takes the same route as too many horror / thrillers recently...  <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler ....as in arseing around with timelines and stuff like that....  [close spoiler] ");document.close(); .....and you are just left with a massively underwhelming and crap ending that it had actually built to quite effectively. This should have been very good indeed, I thought, but it ends up just being quite good and as such I was slightly disappointed I didn't get more from it.  6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows what you can do with good, likeable characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted February 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Watching Christine right now - entertaining enough, years since I saw it. Roberts Blossom, however, is absolutely towering. What a wonderful actor, he just owned the screen every second he is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Freebird Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Â Just watched The Black Cat (1934) starring heavyweight horror legends Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi. This was one of the first of the genre I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I finally got around to watching the new Studio Ghibli animation Arriety and as expected it's their typical wonderous and charming style but a lot more of a low key affair, not much actually seems to happen and the whole movie just floats by. Possibly my least favourite of the collection but still a pleasant watch that's better than 90% of other recent animated childrens movies (Tangled not included as that's class).

Rey_Piste Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Just watched Southern Comfort on the iplayer, It was a film I've not seen for a long time and my girlfriend hadn't seen before. It's a brilliant Vietnam war flick that doesn't take place in Vietnam. If you replace 'Nam with Louisiana and Charlie with some Cajuns you have this film in a nutshell.

Richie Freebird Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) I did watch another film tonight after my disappointment with The Black Cat. I stuck with the Karloff / Lugosi partnership with 1936 Edited February 26, 2012 by Richie Freebird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Watched the documentry Being Elmo about Kevin Clash the puppeteer behind his most famous creation Elmo. Amazing how a young black man from Baltimore can end up being the voice and body behind who is supposed to be the youngest muppet. Sheeeit!
