wh1007 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just wanted to add to the love for House Of Wax. By far one of the better teen slasher films of recent memory out there.As was stated above most of the reviews at the time seemed to concentrate on how much of their hatred for Paris Hilton they could get into the review.There are some really great moments in this film,the melting house in particular looks fantastic.The scene in the cinema is the highlight tho for the playing of that fantastically creepy scene from the superb What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?. I thought Chad Michael Murray made for a likeable lead aswell.I'm surprised he's not popped up in more of this or similar fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEWM Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 That's fantastic. Lots of brilliant films on there. Are you planning on seeing anything, NEWM? Â It's horribly timed for me as my weekend is already full, however I'm going to try and move my plans on Sunday to see Annie Hall and Fargo back to back. Clockwork Orange is one of my all time favourites and I've never seen it at a Cinema, so that would have been great but sadly I can't do it. I'm on the piss for a mate's birthday on Saturday, so if I'm still alive I might try and compose myself enough to stumble in for Mullholland Drive at 3am too.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 22, 2012 A drunken viewing of Mulholland Drive at 3am is probably the only way you could ever make sense of it! Â I'd love to see Three Colours Red and The Third Man on the big screen, I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members MichaelScarn Posted May 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 22, 2012 Went to see the Dictator yesterday, not the best SBC film, but was funny enough for a boring Monday night. Didn't seem to be on for very long though. Perhaps joke-wearing-thin for more then 1h30min was a factor. Â Noticed a poster for Jaws being re-released in the cinemas over the summer, which i'd love to see on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2012 I watched the Ed Norton Hulk movie a few days ago. Â I generally hate CGI, but I gotta say this is the most I have ever enjoyed a total CGI-fest of a film, ever. Maybe it's because the whole thing kinda felt like a cartoon / video game, that I didn't care about the CGI. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to matter.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Watched The Wind That Shakes The Barley last night. Pretty crap, probably more interesting to paddies. Liam Cunningham's great in it, though. Cillian Murphy looked about 13 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Watched Surrogates last night. There is a good film in their trying to get out. It's too short (runs about 80 mins start to when the credits role). The ideas are sound, but the 'Dreads' were woefully under untilised, the symbiosis between the Surrogates and Dreads and indeed normal people was hardly explored and the whole thing was full of massive plot holes, that were left unrealised. Â <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler How did James Cromwell's character have time to be 'The Prophet' as well as do all the other stuff, without it being noticed he was a surrogate, as every time a user disconnects the surrogate freezes. When The Prophet is the head of The Dreads and in constant need or constantly surrounded by people. Some one would notice. Also who sent Strictland to kill Cromwell's character in the first place. If it was VSI, then why wasn't it chased up and so on? Â [close spoiler] ");document.close();Â Shame, as it could have been decent, mixing elements of Ghost in the Shell and I-Robot. Ultimately the whole thing felt rushed and squeezed in rather than having time to breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Ed Norton's Hulk is about my favourite but I may be a bit biased cos I really like Ed Norton - read an interview with him a few years ago and he came across as a good guy, bit of a philanthropist, intelligent and quite humble. I also love in that version that they play a tiny excerpt of music from the original tv series with Bill Bixby, a nice touch I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2012 Haha.. yeah.. when that bit of the original music came on a couple of us cheered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I watched Limitless. As it trundled along I wasn't really minding it but I was waiting for the thing to get going when I realised there was ten minutes left. As soon as the credits rolled I realised that I fucking hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Ang Lee film (which is far better than i remembered it being) they obviously realised that people just want to see Hulk smash shit up and him using cars as boxing gloves, sonic slapping and throwing tanks is what people pay to see when they go to watch a Hulk movie. Plus the entire intro sequence is a nod to the Bill Bixby series (and the musical cue mentioned above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
