Yep. It's worth checking out for those who haven't seen it or read Mr Teardrop's review of it on this thread.

Saw a couple of films at a press show yesterday - GI Joe is pretty crap, shame cos I enjoyed the first one, like some fo you guys seem to have too. It's just really bland and incoherent. A few good set-pieces but not really worth wasting your time with.

Dark Skies - had read some bad reviews but I actually quite liked it! Very derivative - basically Poltergeist via The X Files (actually sounds alot like the un-filmed and darker ET sequel), some of it is very hokey but the acting and characters kept me engaged and it does get quite intense at points, some of the best alien horror since the superficially similar Signs.

Spring Breakers - I love Korine's work but not so sure about this, though it usually takes me at least two views to 'click' with his films. Has many great moments but drags quite badly and some of the style works well, some of it is just annoying. Gonna watch it again next week when it comes out!

'Salem's Lot (2004)-More faithful adaption than the Tobe Hooper version, as good though, but still a decent enough TV movie, well worth a watch IMO, I actually enjoyed it more this time round, probably because I've recently re-read King's original novel and watched the older version too in the last week or so

Wish I liked it, but it really got my goat! I love The Mummy, Deep Rising and GI Joe, but can't suffer The Mummy Returns and VH. Hope Sommers' remake of When Worlds Collide is good, he's really fun when he gets it right, never seen the original but sounds like it could be fun despite being similar sounding to loads of other stuff.

Poor CGI aside I think it's a good pop corn flick.

Bad Taste- I love it. Who doesn't?

The Dirty Pair: The 005 Conspiracy- Not quite as good as Project Eden but a solid story where the titular duo encounter....a conspiracy.

Yeah, some of the poor CGI really stands out on the Blu Ray, Kate Beckinsale still looks stunning though

And Bad Taste is an awesome film!

I watched The Wizard Of Oz on Blu Ray last night. What can i say but absolutely jaw dropping, the remastering of this classic has to be seen to be believed.
