What Films Have You Seen Recently?

Just finished Flash Gordon forgotten what a fansatically camp and fun film it is

[SShaw]

Tonights film was Red Nights which I originally saw at Dead by Dawn last year. The film is French language but set among the nightlife of HongKong (and features Carrie Ng). It is a technically accomplished film, with beautiful sumptuous photography and some memorable images. Although the story is relatively simple it manages to give a real sense of mystery. I enjoyed it at Dead by Dawn and again on this U.K. DVD.

After my recent attempt to catch up with my film watching the "too watch pile" is down to just two blu's now. I guess I will finally be forced to get a life (or maybe just start spending money again).

Star Wars is overrated and they are/he is a bit harsh on Matrix, Godfather and Alien. As for Planet of the Apes, it's just plain wrong!

Honestly, you guys do get your knickers in a twist! All I said was what I felt. It was horrible. Some may like it. Power to them. Rinse and repeat for Ken Park, Elfin Lied and The Brain that Would Not Die amongst other things I can't stand.
Watched Return of the Living Dead this afternoon. MOST of us can agree it's excelent. As it is.

I agree with him on Matrix, not Planet of the Apes because I love the sequels, I've never seen The Godfather so I can't speak of that

I've stopped caring about Star Wars now since I can't watch an unbastardised version of it any more and I doubt I ever will in HD.

I know I'm in the minority of not liking that one . . .

S'cool! I can see how it might not be to everyones taste, the comedys is prity OTT at times, but the atmosphere and cracking gags mixed with black gore are what make it for me. One of the better zombie movies of the time.

[Slippery Jack]

Yeah, I just felt the stodgy direction sucked all of the energy out of the film. Should've been directed by a young dude, like a Raimi or Jim Muro. ...And I didn't laugh once . . .

Does the UK DVD of Red Nights have an anamorphic transfer?
