What Films Have You Seen Recently?

[Make Them Die Slowly]

I saw "Howard the Duck" at the cinema on it's original release, I can't remember if I liked it or not, though I think that may be a reflection of age rather than the film!

Last 20 Films Seen...

1) Logan's Run - A true Sci-Fi Classic!

2) The Car - Better than Christine IMO

3) Blood Car - Great fun low budget horror comedy

4) Dracula: Prince Of Darkness - One of Hammer's greatest.

5) Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer - A modern gem. Here's hoping for a franchise!

6) Chronicle - one of the best films I've seen in the cinema in a while.

7) Bloodbath At The House Of Death - Although the jokes don't always work, Kenny Everett is a genius and this film is a lot of fun.

8) Cathy's Curse - Bill Rebane...'nuff said.

9) The Alpha Incident - Bill Rebane...'nuff said again.

10) Scary Movie - The best of the series and funnier than I remember it being

11) Troll Hunter - Not quite as great as I was hoping - it's still fantastic! Makes you think about trolls.

12) Frozen - A very suspenseful and emotional horror film. A must see

13) Zombieland - **** YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

14) Star Wars: Episode I 3D - Zzzzzz

15) Scary Movie 2 - Great comedy, but a little over long

16) Scary Movie 3.5 - New team behind the series...fails.

17) Scary Movie 4 - Fails even more

18) The Demons Of Ludlow - Bill Rebane...'nuff said again again.

19) (500) Days Of Summer - Thankfully not as soppy as I was expeticing, brilliant film!

20) Deathdream - one of the best zombie films of the 70s.

rewatched Terminator Salvation last night.

Still a fun action flick but has its share of problems as everyone knows.

You wait ages for a film about images imprinted on eyeballs then 2 come along at once - I'm talking of course about Four Flies on Grey Velvet and Horror Express both of which I've seen over the last 24 hours. Both have excellent blu ray transfers, both are great fun - the crucial difference is that HE has 2 of the greatest ever horror actors whereas FFOGV has, er, Michael Landon. Peter Cushing can make lines like 'is Dr Saxton's fossil still at large?' and 'Oh my God it's a brontosauraus!' sound perfectly plausable but Mr Landon struggles to register the slightest emotion never mind carry a line. I think Argento movies need to be anchored by good actors - see Karl Malden and Max Von Syndow who saved pretty rotten movies - but FFOGV lacks any gravitas and flutters into the air, a big load of flashy nothing (apart from the last scene of course which is the best thing DA ever shot)

Saw The Woman In Black finally.
Quiet audience (well, until...) so all good there.
Liked! Even if Radcliffe is still too fresh faced i feel.
some nice wee scares, and a nice atmosphere will ensure i'l watch this again.
Was nice being in cinema again (after WNTTAK) watching something i didnt feel was insulting my intelligence.
Did hope for a more "trad" Hammer ending, but can't have everything

Nice to see Bill Rebane get a mention. His films have a way of bridging the divide between 'unique' and 'hyperboring'.

Having a zombathon today, watched The Dead on BD this morning, great film which makes good use of the stunning filming locations and is very much like the Resident Evil 5 and Far Cry 2 games. Followed it with probably my 10th viewing since October of BU's excellent BD of Zombie Flesheaters(I refuse to call it Zombie like the Americans do), gonna finish off with some good old fashioned zombie bashing on Left 4 Dead 2

I was expecting something decent when I finally got around to seeing it for the first time last night but what I got was something even better than that - it was truly great. That's two recent brilliant Brit horrors that I've seen in the past month. The other being 'Kill List'.
