Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 21, 2005 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 Shocker - Wes Craven is one of the most weirdly inconsistent directors ever, the dude is responsible for horror classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, he's also put out some of the most gritty, disturbing horror movies ever in Last House on The Left & The Hills Have Eyes...he also makes movie like Shocker, which truth be said is fucking terrible, but in a goofy entertaining way. The film is about a guy who gets killed by electric chair, who's spirit is passed into any person that it comes in contact with (something to do with the electricity apparently), and he goes after the boy who put him in the chair. It's a pretty cool idea, but the film is packed with shitty dialogue, gammy effects and some painful over-acting by Peter Berg... that said it's still kinda fun, shit but fun.

Paid Members Supremo Posted December 21, 2005 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm currently making my way through The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe DVD of the TV series. After watching the new Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe yesterday I can say that although it might look nicer, the new film doesn't match up to the TV series at all. At least the TV version had kids who could actually act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viewer is supposed to care about the 4 children (and be behind them), yet throughout (and certainly by the end) I wanted to see them all killed; especially the youngest girl!

Mr. Seven Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Wolf Creek  Good Austrailian horror film. Well it's not so much horror as it is a chiller, but either way it's pretty disturbing and quite gruelling. Not to give too much away, but the bad guy is kind of a stereotype, almost caricature, but once he starts to show his mean streak, well things get very serious. He reminds me of Jim Sidedow's character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , only even more brutal.  Great film, not a "jumpy" horror but a disturbing, psychological one that kinda leaves you with a bad feeling. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it "sucked" because outside of the last 20-minutes or so no alot happens and it is so very boring! I will probably give it another chance when it comes out on DVD in January, but I was not impressed watching it at the cinema...

Guest DJM Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Layer Cake A great film from the producer of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. It has a very good cast (including Daniel Craig, Colm Meaney, Sienna Miller, Michael Gambon), great acting, is funny, dark and violent, and has a good soundtrack. The story is also great (it is interesting, compelling, but could be somewhat confusing to some), and the movie has a great ending. Â The 2-disc DVD has very good extras, including a director and writer commentary, over 20-minutes of deleted scenes and 2 alternative endings (the ending used in the film has the most impact, and is the best of the three available), a very interesting 20-minute Q&A with Daniel Craig and Matthew Vaughn(the director), storyboard comparisons, a music video, a photo gallery, and trailers. (****) Â (It is on Sky TV (starting) Friday 23rd December, so give it a look if you like films in the style of Lock Stock or Snatch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is not interesting, the acting is terrible and the ending isn't great, it's a pathetic tack-on and it's obvious Matthew Vaughan just watched Carlito's Way before he filmed said scene. Difference is we give a shit about Carlito Brigante, whereas Daniel "I can't act" Craig's "xxxx" character is an undeveloped twat.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted December 22, 2005 Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2005 You've missed out the bit about it being 'in your opinion' Mr Seven.Seeing as he posted it i'd have thought that was pretty much a given. Or would it have really made any difference to you whether he'd have posted those three pointless words? Seriously, what would be the point of him typing 'this is my opinion' rather than just posting his opinion as it's clear to everyone who isn't an utter moron he's only voicing his opinion. Debate his opinion all you want. You know, make a little discussion about it. Say why in your opinion Me Sevens opinion is bollocks. And don't type 'IMO' when you do it. Just fucking type it. Actually forget that. Just go away. I hate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
