I just saw Rocky 6 this weekend. I really didn't want Sly to make this but it turned out to be absolutely brilliant. It really did feel like there was a story to tell. And Rocky's speech about how many times you can get hit was inspirational stuff. Let's hope Rambo 4 (actually, shouldn't that be Fir...

Just you wait

Series 4 is the best of 24. Series 5 is ace too. Series 3 was crap for the first two thirds but the final third was as good as anything in any of the other series'. If it had been that good throughout it would have been the best. My brother and I will be Sky plussing series 6 so we can watch loads o...

Watched It's Alive last night. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. It was a pretty difficult film to watch (meant as a compliment) and was very depressing. I felt so sad during and after. I was expecting something cheesy and funny but it was full of quality high drama, interesting characters and ...

I thought White Noise 2 was pretty good actually. It's not being sold right at all though. The tag line about not coming back alone had nothing to do with anything. And the ghosties were only there to put a few jump moments in the trailer. But overall I really liked the story and the acting. And tha...

Just saw the Black Christmas remake last night. I thought it was abysmal. It's like they just took the famous(ish) images of the original (the eye staring out and the bag over the head) and just repeated it over and over again. On it's own merits it was pretty poor but when compared to the original,...

Hehe, good to know it wasn't just me!!!

I recently watched Night of the Demon on the horror channel. I don't know why the title says Demon, it's about Bigfoot and is a prequel to Bigfoot and the Hendersons. Actually it was pretty good, very gorey and very funny. Bigfoot pulls men's willies off and reaches into tummies to pull guts out. Ju...

I thought Saw 3 was absolutely brilliant. Especially the opening few minutes, they were fantastic. And the rack, ewww. Maybe the end went a bit too far but overall this was better than 2 and nearly as good as 1. In terms of gore and nastiness it surpasses 1. Please leave it at 3, no 4. Grudge 2 was ...

I thought The Departed was really good too. I can't remember much from the original but I did recognize a few scenes. Actually Mark Wahlberg gave my favourite performance in the film. All the actors were brilliant but he and Matt Damon shined the most. The heavy Boston accents are kind of comical at...

I'm also wishing to Cthulhu's mighty fist that the Jarvis Cocker's rather catchy end credits song "Running The World" gets nominated for an award in the coming season. Performing "It's Hard Out there For A Pimp" is one thing, but try getting Cocker's chorus of multiple "cnuts" on to national televi...

I really wanted to like The Wicker Man but couldn't. It's pretty rubbish on it's own merits but comparing it to the original just shows how bad it really is. I was cringing when the sister summersisle character was repeating Christopher Lee's classic lines. Terrible. Was good for a laugh though, Nic...

I just saw American Haunting too. I didn't understand the end twist so much that I didn't even realize that there was meant to be a twist. Can anyone offer some kind of explanation? And what was the point of the modern day scenes? Scary Movie 4 was ok, better than part 3 but not on a par with the Wa...
