Watching Indecent Proposal at the moment with a hot young Demi Moore

Watched Lions for Lambs, kept my interest but not one I would recommend 5/10. 3 stories, one about a college, one about a Senator, and one about a couple of Marines injured on the ground in Afganistan.

Watched I am Legend, great film , really enjoyed it, much better than the old Omega Man version. Highly recommend it . 8/10 Would be 9/10 but for the ending being a bit short.

I gotta disagree with that. I thought Legend started off interesting enough, but then it just went to sh*t. It's very much par for the course with most modern remakes these days. They make the first 10 minutes really exciting and interesting, then the plot wears thin and starts to die off. I still think Omega Man is better, much like I thought the original Dawn of the Dead is a lot better than the remake. Heston carried that film on his own simply because he's a great actor, albeit w@nker in real life that he is. Smith still has the Fresh Prince about him. Not very believable for a man who is meant to be a brilliant scientist. I mean, the part where it shows him doing his work out, would a real scientist have the time to get into that kind of shape? It was watchable, but nothing spectacular. It just could have been so much better.

Each to their own I suppose mate. I thought they did a great job myself. The vampires were frightening (in the original they wern't scary at all. He had all the time in the world for exercise, and he had to stay fit for when he ran into the vampires (it's only a film

) I really enjoyed it, thought they ironed out a few of the flaws in the original and brought it up to date.

Just watching the Bucket List at the moment. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, good film. Certainly worth the download.

I just think adding CGI where it's not needed into films often ruins it. There wasn't enough of those Night Stalker things, or whatever he called them, to make their presence in the film worthwhile, and when they did show, the fact they were 100% CG spoiled it. Apart from Gollum in LoTR, no other CGI character on screen is convincing enough. They should have had real people that spoke like they did in Omega Man. At least it would have given Smith a few lines to say and to act and be funny. I just thought because of this, the whole film seemed like Smiths surroundings: barren and empty. I'm a hard person to please, I suppose.

Anyway, I've been reading that the X-Files is coming back once again in the form of a second film in the summer. Billy Connelly is in it. Weird. I was a big fan of the show and still am, so I'm chuffed that Mulder and Scully will be back on the screen once more.

The Resident Evil series of films robbed me of a few hours of my life. I want those hours back again. They were terrible. Once again, such a missed opportunity.

30 Days of Night wasn't bad. It was just short of being a brilliant and modern classic. The thing that let it down was it's terrible editing. I was often wondering at times if the director made a mistake and left out parts of the film. At times it jumped about too much from scene to scene, and for a supposed 30 days of night that had elapsed during the two hours, you never got the sense that no more than a day had passed. That was badly done. Still, those vampires were some freaky looking b*stards, and it had some really amazing gore scenes. That part where he slammed the axe into the fellas neck near the end was a little too realistic for my taste and a bit unsettling.

I agree it did seem like just 1 day had passed and the bloodsuckers where pretty freaky.

Watched....Shrooms last night about a couple of americans who come over to Ireland to stay with a friend from Ireland(whos english) and get high on magic mushrooms and all freak out and start getting killed by the local ghosts....one film with that twist at the end ! :Oo:

Just saw Charlie Wilsons War, interesting but only a 6.5/10 for me, a lot of the same stuff over and over

If anyone out there hasn't seen Superbad and could do with a good laugh then get Superbad.

It fucking hilarious.

Watched Zeitgeist :lookaround

Not so much a film but a documentary about Christianity, The twin Towers and world banking. Not everyones cuppa tea but interesting enough.
