FrightFest

Not looking forward to I Am Legend, I've heard that they changed the story in a certain way - don't want to give too much away, but it completely ruins the entire point of the book (and the title), they may as well have called it something else. Drives me mad. as for people laughing at dumb trailers...

13 Going On 30 - yes, not a horror film, but I had a bad day yesterday, and this is one of my very favourite chick flicks, and it was £3.99 in Sainsbury's. Bargain. Nothing beats watching Jennifer Garner and Andy Serkis dancing to Thriller. NOTHING. I will not hear a word said against this movie, s...

Wow, that was a horrendous show, used to watch it when I was on the dole in Dublin and had two RTE channels - during the day, that was pretty much the only thing on. I had nothing else to do. I hated it, hated the messages crowbarred into every episode. But it was hilarious - the tiny blonde getting...

I was planning on seeing Captivity tonight but my local is temporarily closed after somebody doused themselves in petrol and set light to themselves in the foyer . Sorry about that - I was all ready to watch Captivity, then realised I was making a terrible mistake, so I set fire to myself to get ou...

My girlfriend's sister tried to tell me how good a film the wicker man remake was, and that is was "much better than that shitty seventies version, which I couldn't even be bothered to watch the end of". I had to refrain from slapping her for the sake of family. Jesus. You should have put...

Hate to be a negative nancy, but... I didn't really like Sunshine at all. Had no connection or interest, from beginning to end, apart from two scenes (the airlock, and the fire), characters were all interchangeable, too many silly logic holes, and I kept thinking "Oh, that's exactly like 2001/E...

Watched the Derren Brown live show last night on E4, that whole broken glass routine was really freaky... I'm sure he's a lovely fella but I'm always scared to approach him when he's at FF, afraid of what he can do!! Just get Jimbo to protect you!! Tee Hee! God no, I'm terrified of him too. I won't...

Chalk me up as a "me too" for Snakes - thought it was great fun, played it totally straight, but well aware of its own silliness. Proper fun!

Poseidon is great fun, really nicely done - lots of stunts, gory deaths, drama and tension, and Dreyfuss acts everyone off the screen. Perfect summer stuff, reminds me of when summer movies used to be good. Saw Hard Candy last night - get along to your local and see this immediately, it's really squ...

soulmining wrote:... in-flight movies... hardly the best way to watch a film!

Unless, of course, that film is Snakes on a Plane. They should do one of those special screenings, like when they showed American Werewolf in the Aldwych disused tube station - get a trashed plane or something, and show SOAP...

I thought X3 was absolute dogshit. Lots of good bits, taken on their own, but together it was a bag of arse. Pointless even having the Phoenix story in there at all, considering the over-stuffed nature of the whole thing. Needed a serious trimming down before filming started, it just made no sense a...

going back to silent hill.. werent they the stupidest witch burners ever? burning people indoors ? Oh yeah, I hadn't even thought of that - you're right, what an odd thing to do, particularly in the one building in the town that is a safe haven from the darkness, made of old stone and wood - hey, l...

It's not horror or anything, but Inside Man is a rock-solid, great heist movie, with a real 70s New York vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed it, I'd recommend it to anyone who just wants to see a decent, well written, directed and acted movie (which have been thin on the ground lately). Silent Hill this Friday...
