Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted October 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 17, 2012 Saw Pontypool tonight. I thought The Loved Ones would be the best horror film I watch this month but I may be wrong because this was at least as good. It was absolutely terrific. It's not really a zombie film and I'm not exactly sure what it is at times, but it was utterly excellent. Somebody put Stephen McHattie in more stuff. And send Georgina Reilly round to my place, pronto. Â That completely out of place Sin City-style post-credits scene though? The most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. Â I'm sure I didn't see that? Must have switched off too early. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Eddie Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Â Strange and out of place. Â Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I watched Extract last night. It was fine, but it took me two or three minutes to even remember what it was that I'd watched. I think this Judge fella's a lot more mediocre than his reputation suggests. Office Space is the most overrated comedy of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think it's fantastic. It's not a 'proper' horror film, I guess, but I think the atmosphere of it is absolutely stunning. Tourneur is a master of creating threat in his films without you seeing much at all. I may have been unduly harsh on it, as I was expecting something different. As I said, I certainly appreciated its quality, and completely bought into the atmosphere and environments. I suppose I just felt slightly let down when there was no big payoff with a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 VeeHD is always dodgy in terms of what downloads and what doesn't. Usually a refresh of the page does the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 As good as VeeHD can be with its amazing catalogue of available films, it can also be twice as frustrating. I watched round about an hour of Cat People tonight, and as with quite a few other films I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patiirc Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Watched Red during the week, Fun knockabout doesnt take itself too seriously retired spy film, reminded me of Burn After Reading and The Whole Nine Yards in parts. Enjoyable Hokum. Worth it for seeing Helen Mirren in it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing_Red_Fan Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I would implore everyone to go and see Beasts of the Southern Wild. Absolutely beautiful film, which packs an incredible emotional punch. I don't want to give away too much so will just recommend that you go and see it! It's probably my second favourite film of the year (after The Muppets). Edited October 19, 2012 by Amazing_Red_Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 20, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2012 Watched Triangle after Gladstone's incessant prattling on about it. Â Fair enough, it was really good. Cool device, and they used it well. Couple things didn't totally fit together / make sense, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the film.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted October 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Watched the Australian movie, The Loved Ones tonight. Man that was good. Basically imagine the weird kid back in school finally snapping and going crazy in the vein of the Hostel films. Very enjoyable film with major character Robin McLeavy putting in a brilliant psychotic performance. Â And yeah I saw Triangle a few nights ago and mentioned it a few pages back. It felt like my brain was dribbling through my nose, but in a good way. Edited October 21, 2012 by SpiritOfTheForest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2012 ive had Triangle on Blu Ray for about a year now and still haven't got around to watching it, might bang it on later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bettencourt Posted October 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2012 Went to see Paranormal Activity 4. I think that was a mistake. I've never come out of the cinema so underwhelmed. Â For a film series that's billed as "shock, jump, fear" I was left severely disapointed when I didn't feel any fear or was made to jump at all. Â There was also some bits of the plot that could be better explained. Â Pfft. Hope my next trip to the cinema will be better than this one!

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2012 Went to see Taken 2 tonight. It's pretty much the same as Taken, but with a 2 on the end. Â Really though, it's a pretty lazy cash-in sequel. Still an reasonably entertaining 90 minutes of Neeson kicking ass, but there's nothing here you haven't seen done much better elsewhere.
